CONSULT THE LORD BEFORE MAKING A STEPS

1 CHRONICLES 14:8-17 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. But David heard of it and went out against them. 9 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of Rephaim. 10 And David inquired of God, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?” And theLord said to him, “Go up, and I will give them into your hand.” 11 And he went up to Baal-perazim, and David struck them down there. And David said, “God has broken through[a] my enemies by my hand, like a bursting flood.” Therefore the name of that place is called Baal-perazim.12 And they left their gods there, and David gave command, and they were burned.

13 And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley. 14 And when David again inquired of God, God said to him, “You shall not go up after them; go around and come against them opposite the balsam trees.15 And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then go out to battle, for God has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines.” 16 And David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army from Gibeon to Gezer.17 And the fame of David went out into all lands, and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.

The has a millions of ways and for us He has a good way and a good plan. lets consult the Lord before we make a steps. don't be like king saul tried to find a guidance by consulting the spirit of dead, instead of consulting God like King David so God killed king saul 1 chronicles 10:13-14

* Remember the Lord in everything you do. Pro.3:6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

 1 samuel 30:6-8 And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul,[b] each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.

7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring me the ephod.” So Abiathar brought the ephod to David. 8 And David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I pursue after this band? Shall I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake and shall surely rescue.”

* Ask the Lord to Blessed your Plan. Proverbs 16:1-3The plans of the heart belong to man,

    but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
    but the Lord weighs the spirit.
3 Commit your work to the Lord,

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare[a] and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Proverbs 16:9 The heart of man plans his way,
    but the Lord establishes his steps.

* Be Loyal and Faithful to God. Proverbs 3:3-4 

Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;
    bind them around your neck;
    write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 So you will find favor and good success[a]
    in the sight of God and man.

* Obey the Lord which is our Hope. Deuteronomy  30:20 loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”

Psalms 25:4-5

Make me to know your ways, O Lord;

    teach me your paths.
5 Lead me in your truth and teach me,
    for you are the God of my salvation;
    for you I wait all the day long.

Lets our Day begin in prayer and finish it with prayer for consulting the Lord..Godbless

Give Jesus something to multiply

So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, “Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.” His lord said to him, “Well done, good and faithful servant...”

Matthew 25:20–21

In the parable of the talents, the master commended the first two servants because they multiplied the money entrusted to them. They didn’t laze around drinking tea, complaining about how hard it is to get a job in this economy. On the contrary, they were diligent, wise and prudent, and found ways to double the money that had been entrusted to them. The Lord then congratulated them and called them good and faithful servants.

My friend, I want to encourage you to be a diligent, wise, good and faithful steward of the money that God has placed in your hands. As you trust the Lord for His provision, spend money to send out your résumés, to go for interviews or even to upgrade yourself for a better job. Don’t bury your money in the ground by sitting at home and watching television. Give Jesus something that He can multiply and you’ll see Him put His favor upon it!

YOUR FAITH TO GOD GIVES YOU A MEANINGFUL LIFE

Ruth 1:16-17 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:

17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

We see the faith of Ruth not to follow the gods of her family the moabites, but she choose to obey the God of Noemi which is the God of Israel how faith she has.. even though she is a foreigner,but she has a faith of the true God..

Our God can work even your past is worst. if we choose to obey the God of Israel who create everything, He will turned your worst past into a better future. that is His promise to give us a bright future, (John 10:10)

And His plan is to prosper us (Jeremiah 29:11) 
Living well for me is living according to God’s will. Because God knows what’s best for each of us. This does not mean prosperous living but authentic living. Real joy is different than earthly happiness. Living according to God’s will is not very popular but it is the only way we won’t lose our souls. Jesus said to his disciples, “All who want to come after me must say no to themselves, take up their cross, and follow me. All who want to save their lives will lose them. But all who lose their lives because of me will find them. Why would people gain the whole world but lose their lives? What will people give in exchange for their lives?” (Matthew 16:24-26, CEB)

Living well is not an achievement but God’s grace. God is not promising us earthly riches or easy life. Instead, God invites us to the cross! But when we share the death with Christ we also share the resurrection with Christ! And that’s what Christian living and living well is all about: Walking with Risen Christ through our everyday life, in sickness and health, in sorrow and happiness.

The blessed life is not the absence of hard things in life
but being able to cast our sorrows to the Lord and receive peace.
The blessed life is about sharing our messy lives with the Risen Christ.
The blessed life is about opening our souls to God Almighty.
The blessed life is about dwelling in God’s wild but gentle grace.

We can join Simon Peter answering to Jesus: “Lord, where would we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are God’s holy one.” (John 6:68-69)

THE LORD'S REQUIRE TO HIS PEOPLE

WE WILL HAVE WHAT GOD HIGHEST DESIRE TO BE MORE FRUITHFUL IN LIFE...
GODBLESS...

OBEDIENCE TO GOD ALWAYS BRING BLESSING

1. LUKE 5:1-11 The Lord Jesus simple request often serve is a stepping stone to life most wonderful blessings. Simon Peter illustrates what can happen when we say Yes to God.

One day a large crowd pressed around Jesus while He preached, The Lord wanted to use Peter's boat as a floating platform from which to address the multitude. He asked the future apostle to push the boat out a little way from the shore from his example, we also learn how essential it is to obey God even the smallest matters. the noisy crowd recieved the first blessing of Peter's obedience. The people could now clearly hear Jesus words. at the conclusion of the lesson; He said to peter put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch, a second opportunity to say Yes  or no. But this time, Peter may have felt tempted to decline. After all he was a season fisherman. he had work to the entire night for a catch, but had returned empty handed. Now this Young teacher a carpenter by the way not a fisherman was asking him to go fishing again? Master we work hard all night and caught nothing. But i will do what you say and let down the nets.

Peter reply demontrates the beginning of a lifetime of faith in God . he said master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing. but i will do what you say and let down the nets.
The soon to be disciple chose to obey the Lord.

But notice what happen as a result of Peter's obedience. Jesus demonstrated His power and Sovereignty. Peter and his partner may started the day of thinking their effort had yielded nothing. but they ended it in complete amazement because they are not one but two overflowing boatloads of fish.

Saying Yes to the Lord request resulted in a miracle that transformed not only one fisherman's life but the lives of entire group.

1. OBEYING GOD IN SMALL MATTERS IS AN ESSENTIAL STEP IN RECIEVING GOD'S GREATEST BLESSING. 
2. OUR OBEDIENCE ALWAYS BENEFITS OTHERS. Love ones, Relatives, The others, Friend.
3.   WHEN WE OBEY GOD WE WILL NEVER BE DISSAPPOINTED...GODBLESS
   

Supernatural Management

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:14

As a son of the Most High God, you can expect to be led by His Spirit in all areas of life. God doesn’t want you to manage your life in your own strength and get frustrated with mediocre or even disastrous results. He wants you to do it by His Spirit and get results that are divinely orchestrated!
For example, I’ve found that when God wants me to focus on a particular ministry in church, He will usually place that ministry on my heart for a whole week or month. Then, within that period, He will cause me to bump into people who have something to tell me about that ministry. Sometimes, my wife will bring up that ministry “out of the blue.” I don’t have to be a rocket scientist then to know that God wants me to pay attention to that ministry!
My friend, God can do the same for you when it comes to your family or career. God can lead you to focus on one child who may be having a hard time in school because of a bully. In the office, He may bring a particular area of your work that may have been mishandled or neglected to your attention. Whatever it is, God’s Spirit in you can show you what you need to know. He can lead you through people or promptings in your heart. Beloved, expect to see and receive His leading as a provision of His grace—to supernaturally manage your life and enjoy good success!
