 HE HAS PLANS OF PEACE

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Romans 8:28 NKJV

In life we are going through a lot. There are things that we can't even explain how we came out of them. There are things that happened and caused a lot of pain in us; some left us with scars that cannot be erased.

One day Yolanda Adams said, "Everything you go through, you're designed to get through." The Bible teaches us that God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able. It continues by saying, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. (1 Corinthians 10:13b)

I believe that whatsoever you have gone through this year, God gave you a way to endure it. If you are still facing the same temptation or anyone other temptation; I still believe God is going to make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. He will not leave you alone or allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear.

This morning, I want you to know that God has thoughts and plans of peace not evil toward you, to give you a future and a hope. No matter what you have been going through this year; God has better plans for you for the coming year. Whatever you tried to achieve this year and failed. I believe God will give you strength next year and you will be able to reach your goals. 

All things will work together for good to you if you will continue to love God, and walk according to His purpose. Don't worry about a thing, everything are going to be alright in Jesus Name. God will be with you all the way if you will put your trust in Him. I want to encourage you to continue loving God and walk in His purpose in the year 2015.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, I thank You for the year 2014. Lord I'm asking that You may be with me in the year 2015 and help me to live for You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

WHEN I'M AFRAID

When I’m afraid, I put my trust in you. I trust in God. I praise his word. I trust in God. I am not afraid. What can mere people do to me?

Psalm 56:3-4 NIRV

Sometimes in life we encounter things that make us fear. There are some problems that may cause fear when they come; and some circumstances that make us to be afraid. I believe there are many things that happened to you this year that left you with fear. 

We are being taught in the Bible to fear not and trust God in everything. Sometimes we fail to do this and we end up being paralyzed by fear in our hearts. There are some things that make even brave men to tremble and strong woman to lose their hope.

Maybe there is someone so sick in your family, and you are afraid that he may not make it at the end of the day. Maybe you are having marital problems and you fear you may end up losing your spouse. There are some people who are facing legal disputes, and you fear that you may lose the case and end up into much trouble more than you have now.

This morning, I want you to know that when you are afraid you can put your trust in God. Stop putting your trust in your bank account, education, network, charms, or even your beauty. All these things fade away and they are subjected to limitations. God is the only one who will last forever and there is nothing too difficult to Him.

Jesus instructed us to build our houses on the rock; in order that when rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house; it will not fall because it was built on the rock. This is the same to a person who has put His trust in God. No matter what life may bring, this person will stand steady and unshaken because He has put His trust in the Rock of Ages, Jesus Christ. (Matthew 7:24-29)

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, when I'm afraid. I will put my trust in You. I trust in You God. I praise your word. I am not afraid of people or anything that was intended to bring fear in me. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

HIS GRACE

For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.  It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,

Titus 2:11-13 NIV

We were saved by grace, through faith--and this is not from ourselves, it is the gift of God. This grace has been revealed through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. This grace teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, that we may live a self-controlled life, upright and godly in this present world of ours. (Ephesians 2:8)

When this grace comes to someone life, it teaches that person to hate the life style of sin and desire the godly life in Christ. This grace teaches mere men to fear God, seek His face and put their faith to the Creator. It is the grace of God that helps us to forgive and receive forgiveness from God. The grace of God changes our way of thinking and teaches us to think according to the word of God.

It is the grace of God that gives us patient to wait for the blessed hope-the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior. It is the grace of God that help us to restrain ourselves from going back to a life of sin that we once forsaken. It is the grace of God that gives us strength from day to day to fulfill the plan of God in our lives.

This morning, I want to encourage you to thank God for His grace in your life. Thank God for His salvation, thank Him for the forgiveness of sins. He has kept you through His grace up to this day. Many wanted to see this day but they didn't make it. By His grace you are still alive today because of His love-kindness in your life.

It is the grace of God that will take you in the coming year and order your steps in the right direction. God will prosper you in everything you do by His grace; He will fulfill all what He has promised you according to his plan in your life. Praises are to God for His amazing grace in our lives. May His perfect will be fulfilled in our lives.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer...

Dear Father, I thank You for your amazing grace in my life. I pray that You may continue to reveal your grace to my life and increase it more and more in each new day. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

PRAY

The Lord is near to everyone who prays to him, to every faithful person who prays to him. He fills the needs of those who fear him. He hears their cries for help and saves them.

Psalm 145:18-19 GW

One of the keys for living a victorious life in this world is prayers. We see different men and women of God in the Bible who prayed until they received their miracles from God. They prayed for everything and believed God for all things.

Jesus was a man of prayers; He prayed that the will of the Father may be fulfilled in His life. He prayed for His disciples that they may stand strong in the ministry that God gave them. He prayed for people who lived with Him; and performed miracles that helped many in those days.

Every man and woman of God should be a prayer warrior. I believe that God is calling each one of us to pray. He is calling each person to pray in the language that is known to Him that the Church of Christ may stand in unity on this earth. He calls people to pray for their loved ones and lost souls that are scattered in each corner of this world. 

This morning, I want to remind you to pray. We need prayer warriors in the body of Christ. We need people who will pray for others and be the source of encouragement to those who are not in Christ. You need to learn to pray for people, and this will help you to overcome the spirit of selfishness in your life.

If you are in Christ, you are required to pray. If you won't pray, the enemy will attack you whenever he feels like. He will drag you here and there because you will have little strength to resist him. Prayers will give you strength to stand against the evil schemes of the enemy and continue being faithful to God. Start your day by prayers today, God bless you.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, I pray that You may give me strength to pray for everything in my life. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

I WILL TRUST IN YOU

God is our refuge and strength,

A very present help in trouble.

 Therefore we will not fear,

Even though the earth be removed,

And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

 Though its waters roar and be troubled,

Though the mountains shake with its swelling. 

Psalm 46:1-3 NKJV

We are living in the world that is so simplified especially in developed countries in such a way many people don't see the need of God in their lives. Some people have organized themselves and form clubs that support the idea that God does not exist. They encourage themselves with false doctrines according to the traditions of men.

People who don't believe God exist are stumbled with the fact that there are many people who believe that God exist.  There is plenty of evidences that support our God is exist and He is the creator of heaven and earth. Scientists have created many wonderful things but none of them knows the formula to create a human being.

Our God possess technology that is far beyond any human being understanding. He created this world for six days; and is this wonderful just imagine how the new heaven and new earth will look like? It has been 2000 plus since Jesus went to the Father to prepare a place for us. I believe the new earth and new heaven will be far beyond that our carnal minds can imagine.

This morning, I want you to know that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Even though the whole world turns against God and speaks blasphemy against His name. He will still remain to be God of heaven and earth who is not intimidated by the opinions of men. He does what pleases Him and no man can prevent Him from fulfilling His will towards those He loves.

Maybe you in a course of your life you had put your trust in politicians, doctors, and powerful people in the society. Then you need to learn to put your trust in God. He is the one who created you according to His image and likeness and breathed in you the breath of life. Surrender you life to Him, and He will help you to live victorious life in Christ Jesus.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, I will trust in You. When I can't see You, I know You’re there. When I can't feel You I will not fear. I will trust in You and I will not be afraid. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

THE BIRTH OF JESUS

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).

Matthew 1:20-23 NIV

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, to a virgin mother through the power of Holy Spirit since Mary was still a virgin. God went against the law of the nature and brought forth His Son in a divine way. (John 3:16)

The angel of the Lord appeared to both Mary and Joseph telling them about the Jesus before He was born. He said they will give Him the name of Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins. This was a destiny of Jesus in the flesh; God sent Him to us that He may save us from this nature of sin that hidden the face of God from us.

These things were prophesied by Prophet Isaiah, “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”), Isaiah 7:14. He was indeed God with us because He lived among us and did everything just like you and me. The writer of the Book of Hebrews says, "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin."(Hebrews 4:15)

God revealed Himself to humanity through the person of Jesus Christ. He showed how much He loved us by letting His Son die on that cruelty cross for you and me. Sometimes I ask myself, how the world would be today, if Jesus hadn't been born? There would be no church and no hope in this world. Jesus is our blessed hope, and wisdom from God. He is the one who had given us the true freedom that our souls desperately desired before we knew Him. 

This morning, I want to remind you to look unto Jesus Christ, who is the Savior of this world. The Bible says, "Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted." In other words the right person to run to when you are facing temptations is Jesus Christ. He suffered when He was tempted, so He knows how it is like to be tempted. He can empathize with our weaknesses and help us to overcome whatsoever we are facing in this life.

As you celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ today; remind yourself what made Him to left His glory in heaven and come to us in the form of the flesh. He came that He may save you from your sins, and if you haven't received Him as the Lord and Savior of your life this is the time for you to do so. Give Him a chance today, and your life will never be the same. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, I thank You for your Word. I give myself to You, that You may use me. Help me to live a life worth of my calling in Jesus Christ. I believe I will be among many who will inherit your heavenly kingdom because I have surrendered my life to my Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

THE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

1 Corinthians 1:18 NKJV

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. The message of Christ as foolish as it sometimes seems, bring forth salvation to all who believe it by faith. Apostle says, But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name.(Romans 10:17, John 1:12)

This message has changed the lives of many and brought salvation to all who accepted it. It changed my life, and my life’s perspective. It touches the broken hearts, and mends them. It brings healing and deliverance to all who have been oppressed by the enemy. It gives wisdom to a fool and counsel to a wise. 

There is a power of God in the message of Christ; there is unspeakable joy that comes with it. I have seen people crying in tears after they encounter the power of God that is found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many received their miracles and forgiveness of their sins after they obeyed the word of God.

This morning, I want you to know that the power to overcome your problems is found in the word of God. For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us, 2 Corinthians 1:20. If you are in need of healing, you can find it in the word of God. If you are in need of deliverance, you will find it in the word of life.

The answer to your marriage and broken relationships are found in the word of God. If you are in need of power to get wealth, then you need to open the pages of your Bible. If you need wisdom to deal with day to day chaos of this life; then you need to read the word of God. I want to encourage you to make next year to be a Bible reading year, and you shall receive all what God has intended for your life.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, help me to read your word that I may grow and mature in the faith of my Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus' Name, Amen. 

Morning with Ebenezer

IT SHALL PASS

For His anger is but for a moment,

His favor is for life;

Weeping may endure for a night,

But joy comes in the morning.

Psalm 30:5 NKJV

In my personal life I passed through different unpleasant things. While I was passing through those things; I felt bad and sometimes I felt like God had left me alone. Sometimes I didn't understand why God allowed some events to take place in my life. I wished God would prevent some situations and events to take place in my life.

Later I learned that God allowed some things that seemed to be unpleasant at the moment; that He may prepare me to accomplishing difficult tasks that He had for me in the future. He allowed some people in my life to teach me how I should live with different people and sympathies with them in their struggles.

The Bible says, "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way, Psalm 37:23. I believe God is ordering your steps right now; you may be passing through a rough path in your life. Maybe things are not like the way you expected but still in that valley of the shadow of death, you don't need to fear evil; for God is with you, and His rod and His staff, they will comfort you.(Psalm 23:4)

This morning, I want you to know that even this season shall pass. The Bible says, "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven, Ecclesiastes 3:1. Maybe God allowed some unpleasant things to take place in this season of your life; but you need to know that there is a new season ahead of you. There was a purpose out of your troubles and hardships, and God is about to do a new thing in your life.

You need to learn from your hardships, and know that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. I believe that next year will be your morning; God is going to remember your name and remember your prayers. Don't give up on God, continue trusting in Him and He will never leave you or forsake you.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, help me to believe your word and put it into practices. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

PRAY FOR YOUR FAMILY

But if you don’t want to serve the Lord, you must choose for yourselves today whom you will serve. You may serve the gods that your ancestors worshiped when they lived on the other side of the Euphrates River, or you may serve the gods of the Amorites who lived in this land. As for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”

Joshua 24:15 NCV

Family is very important to God. He is the one who joined the first family that we all came from. The devil from the beginning has been fighting against the family. He planted hate inside the heart of Cain that made him to kill his brother Abel. If you follow closely our origin, you will find out we all came from a single Family of Adam and Eve, in other words we are all relatives.

As the way Cain killed Abel, we are killing one another every day. Nations are fighting against nations, and kingdoms against kingdoms. The love of many has gone cold, and the fear of the Lord is no longer there even to those who call themselves Christians.

We need to learn to fight for our families; it took two people who failed in love to form a family. We are living in an hour where there is high rate of divorces than any time in history. The Bible says in the Book of Malachi 2:16, "For I hate divorce!" says the LORD, the God of Israel. "To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty," says the LORD of Heaven's Armies. "So guard your heart; do not be unfaithful to your wife." God hates divorce, and it is not the will of God for couples to divorce one another and it was not so from the beginning.

This morning, ask the blessings of God over your family in the coming year. Ask God that He may bless you and your family spiritually, financially, and materially. Ask God to touch all your unsaved loved ones that they may know the Lord in the coming year. If you desire to go to heaven, then desire to take your family with you.

Stand firm in prayers and pray for each family member. Pray that God may touch their lives that they may repent and follow our Lord Jesus Christ. You need to protect your house by the blood of Jesus; you need to plead the blood of Jesus on each member of your family every day. God will restore all what the enemy has taken out of your family if you will surrender your family before Him. 

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, I thank You for my family. Lord I cover each member of my family by the blood of Jesus. Lord I'm asking that You may touch them and meet all of their needs. Lord I'm asking that You may save all who needs your salvation in Christ Jesus according to your Gospel. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

CONFESS THE WORD

You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] shall shine upon your ways.

Job 22:28 AMP

The Bible teaches us to walk by faith and not by sight. It teaches us to fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. It teaches us to fix our eyes on Jesus, who is the author and finisher of our faith. (2 Corinthians 5:7, 4:18, Hebrews 12:2)

Many times we fix our eyes on our problems and present circumstances. We tend to look on the things that are bothering us and people who make our lives a living hell. Sometimes we tend to look on our insecurities and imperfections instead of looking on Jesus Christ.

We tend to look on how people think about us; and how we can please people instead of God. Sometimes we make quick decisions because we lack enough faith that if we wait; God will meet our needs on time. We end up making choices out of fear that come with a price; that may be too high for us to pay.

This morning, confess the word of God over your life. Declare and decree blessings over your life, speak good things for your future. Decide what you want to become in life, decree how you want to see yourself in ten years from now. If you will do it by faith, all those things that you have said shall be established for you.

Death and life are in the power of your tongue, if you speak life. Life will come to you, and if you speak death, death will never leave your house. Change your life by changing your words; change your future by changing your thoughts on it. The light of God's favor shall shine upon your ways, if you will completely put your trust in Him in all the days of your life. (Proverbs 18:21)

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, help me to confess your word over my life. Help me to live by faith and not by sight for the rest of my days. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

THANK HIM

No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

1 Corinthians 10:13 NKJV

You may be facing temptations right now in life, and think that you are the only one who is facing such temptations. In the reality there are so many people who are facing the same kind of temptations or even more throughout the world. This doesn't ignore the fact that you are being tempted; but it just suggests that temptations are not strange things to men.

Like the way people of the world face temptations, people who are in Christ also face temptations in their own way. Maybe you have been tested throughout this year, maybe things didn't go like the way you hoped when the year started. This doesn't mean that your life is over, or all the coming years will be like this year. It just means this year was a season that came with temptations; but still God has a good plan for your life.

As we are going the end of this year, I want to encourage you to have faith that things will be better in the next year. I want to encourage you to have a positive attitude on things; you need to know that you did not come in this world by accident. I always say there is a purpose for your being on this earth; if the plan of God did not unfold clearly this year, then have faith that God will reveal it to you next year.

This morning, thank God for all what He has done for you on this year. There are many people out there who spread fears, threats and bad news to others. You need to be an agent of Good News, this primarily mean the Gospel of Jesus Christ but also your faith on His Name. Try to encourage people to trust God and work for the betterment of themselves and their families.

There is still hope for tomorrow in Christ, I refuse to give up on this life no matter how things may seem to look like on the outside. I want to encourage you to refuse that there is nothing more for you in this life. I believe there is still higher dimension of faith, grace and mercy ahead of you. God has a profound plan for your life. God has something special just for you. Trust Him and never give up in life; He will be with you always.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, I thank You for all what You have done for me in this year. I have faith that the good work that you have begun in me, You will complete it until is finally finished on that day when Jesus Christ returns. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

BE ENCOURAGED

I have told you all this so that you will have peace of heart and mind. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows; but cheer up, for I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33 TLB

We face different problems in our daily lives; in this world we have many trials and sorrows. There are things which happen to all of us regardless whether we are rich or poor. We all in one way or another suffered loss of our loved ones; or being hurt with those we once trusted.

We have our fellow members in the body of Christ who are being persecuted for their faith in Christ Jesus. We have single mothers who are struggling to make ends meet; we have Pastors who lead the Churches that are struggling financially. 

We have faithful Christians who have family members that are sick for a while now. Some of them are suffering from different deadly diseases and they are waiting for miracles from God. There are many young people who cry before God that they may get education, jobs and spouses. We have members of the body of Christ who are still living in poverty; struggling to support their families with the low income salaries.

This morning, I want to encourage you to put your trust in Jesus. I don't know what you are going through in life right now. I don't know what you have been facing for the past 10 years; but I know that God is in control. Jesus overcame this world, and if we will follow Him faithfully; we will overcome it too!

Be encouraged for the fact that the pioneer of our faith, Jesus Christ; defeated the enemy of our souls. In all these things that we are facing, we are more than conquerors through Christ who loved us. God has a good plan for each one of us; and the enemy may try to resist us but He will not defeat us. Have faith in God, trust in our Lord Jesus Christ; surrender your life to Him, and He will fight for you.

****Morning Prayer***

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, I'm putting my trust in You. Help me to overcome all what I'm facing in this life. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

HIS PEACE

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

Colossians 3:15 NIV

This Scripture is applied to those who are in Christ, people who have been born again. Those people who have been born of the water, the Spirit and the blood. They have given their lives to Christ, and surrendered their wills to God. These people have been given the right to be called children of God; who are walking in the peace of Christ.

You can't be ruled by the peace of Christ if you don't have Christ in you. The Bible teaches us to let the peace of Christ control our thinking, decision making and our lives in total. This peace will help us to answer all questions that arise in our minds concerning the things of God and things of this world. 

Sometimes we find ourselves in different dilemmas of life. There are those questions that many young people asks themselves when it comes to choose a better half. Sometimes outside appearances can deceive that's why we need God to show us who is right for us. One of the things that God will give you if He wants you to end up with someone is His peace. He will give you a go ahead inside your soul; and you won't have peace if that person was not created for you.

This morning, ask the Lord to help differentiate His peace from other peace which this life can give. If you study, work hard and accumulate enough wealth; you will have peace of mind knowing that you will live a comfortable life. But having wealth, good education or achieving your goals in life can't bring you the peace of Christ. 

Jesus said in John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." And Paul encouraged us not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, and present our requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, I'm asking your may cover my heart with your peace. Lord let your peace control my thinking, my decision making and my life as a whole. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

DON'T WORRY

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

Matthew 6:25-27 NIV

Many people of God worry about many things in this life. They worry about their children, family, spouses, work, neighbors and everything they can think of. Jesus taught against this tendency of worrying; He encouraged us not to worry about our lives. 

He said that we should not worry about what we will eat or drink; or about our bodies, what we we'll wear. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes. He continued by saying, "Lord at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Jesus was giving us these examples because He wanted us to have faith in God. 

He then said, If God provides for birds of the air, clothe the lilies that grow in the field; and even Solomon with his riches was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers. And if God clothes the grass in the field, which are alive today but tomorrow is thrown into the fire. So how much more will God clothe you?

This morning, start your day by putting your faith in God. We are in the season of holidays; maybe you have been asking God for provision in this season. You have been asking God to provide for you and your loved ones. Maybe things are not like the way you wanted to be in this season. I have the word for you today; God sent me to tell you, He will provide all of your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

God is going to provide for you in this season, and exceed your exceptions. He will open all the doors that the enemy tried to close this year; and cause you to meet with people who will be in a position to take you to the next level in life. There is still more in God, don't be comfortable were you are! If you have seen good things in Christ, then know that there are better things and perfect things in Him. Have faith in God and give no room to worries; and the God of love will bless you abundantly.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, I love You. I will have faith in You. I'm asking that You may be with me in my way; and meet all my needs along the way. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

GIVE HIM A ROOM

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

                                 

Romans 8:26-27 NIV

Many people are praying day and night but they don't have a breakthrough in prayers. You can know all the Scriptures, and learn all wonderful ways on how you can pray with authority; but without the Spirit of God there will be no breakthrough.

There are people who pray written prayers, and follow traditions which we set by men. They think they will get to touch God through those kinds of prayers and that God will be moved by their efforts. It's true that we need to put efforts in seeking the face of God; but we need the Spirit of God to direct us to Him.

Many remember to use the name of Jesus and the blood of Jesus while they are praying; but not all of them remember to give a room for Holy Spirit to help them in their prayers. Some people still believe that the Spirit of God is a weaker part of Godhead. They don't know that He is the one left on this world to take care of the Church. He is not a weaker part of the Godhead but He is God the Spirit; He deserves the respect and reverence like God the Father, and God the Son.

This morning, ask the Spirit of God to help you in your prayer life. If you need to be effective in your prayer life; then you need to give a room for the Spirit of God. He is the one who filled men and women of the past with mighty power. He is the one who fills us today, and give us power to overcome sin.

We do not know what we ought to pray for; the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. He prays on our behalf before God, He knows the will of God so when He prays; He does that in accordance with the will of God. Give Him a chance today, ask Him to be your helper in your prayer life; and you will get that breakthrough you have always desired.

SURRENDER

While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could rescue him from death. And God heard his prayers because of his deep reverence for God.

Hebrews 5:7 NLT

Life comes with a lot of stress. We always find ourselves facing pressure of making different decisions in life. Sometimes we make mistakes and end up in regrets. Being a Christian doesn't exclude you from trials of this world; but it gives you hope that no matter what you face in life, God will never leave or forsake you.

Life can be a burden for many, and problems can a heavy load that many can't carry alone. Jesus knew this that's why He said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." Jesus called us to go to Him that He may give us rest in everything that we are going through in life. (Matthew 11:28)

Jesus faced many challenges that we are facing in this life. He had a way out of it; He went before God and offered prayers and requests, with a loud cry and tears to God, who could save Him from death. Jesus was one hundred percent God, and at the same one hundred percent man. He knew that God would save Him from death, and prayers were the only way in His form as a man to get help from God.

This morning, surrender your problems to the Lord in prayers. Go to the Lord in prayers and avail yourself before Him. Tell Him about your problems, needs, fears, trials and temptations. Talk to Him as the way you talk to a friend who you trust. Tell Him how you feel, and how you desire to see things in your life.

Talk to God, open your heart before Him and let Him take control over your situation. Have faith when you talk to God, knowing that whatever you have asked Him, He will give you according to His plan and purpose over your life. 

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, I surrender all my problems before You. I'm asking that You may solve them ooh Lord. Help me to overcome all trials I'm facing right now in my life. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

LEARN TO SERVE

Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Mark 10:42-45 NIV

Our Lord Jesus Christ came to serve, not to be served, and to give His life as a ransom for many. He taught us on how we are supposed to walk with God by example of His own life. He taught us to love God with all of our hearts, and with all of our souls, and with our entire minds. He loved God, He loved His Father, and He became obedient to death, even death on a cross.

He taught us to love our neighbors as our own selves. He manifested this love for us by dying there on the cross and He took the punishment that brought us peace upon Himself. He manifested His love by healing people, set them free from the bondage of the enemy; and forgave the sins of many who humbled themselves before Him.

Jesus came to serve; He had a servant leadership like attitude. He gave us the formula of greatness, He said, "whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be firs must be slave of all."Pause a minute, and start reflecting your attitude in this area of serving others. Do you like to be served or you like to serve others? Do you put others first, or in everything you are putting yourself first?

This morning, I want to challenge you to learn to serve others. They way to greatness is different from the way many people think. If you want to be first in the kingdom of God, then you must be slave of all. If you have a calling of God in your life that is not a ticket for you to become a boss; but it’s a privilege for you to serve.

Apostle John says, "Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen, 1 John 4:20."Let's learn to read the word of God and put it into practices; if we real desire to see and experience God in our lives. Then we need to live according what the word of God teaches.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, forgive for where I had put myself first. Lord help me to put others first, and to learn to serve everyone who comes in my life like the way the Lord Jesus would do. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

LET'S TOUCH AND AGREE

Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”

Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment.

Matthew 9:20-22 NIV

Jesus healed a woman with an issue of blood, who had been bleeding for twelve years and used all her fortune on physicians and could not be healed by any. She said to herself, "If I only touch his garment, I will be healed." She said those words by faith, and as we know faith has its reward.

After she touched Him, the Bible says, "And immediately her flow of blood stopped. She experienced instant miracle, and God wiped her twelve years tears. She put her faith in Jesus, and took a bold step by touching Him. Jesus healed her, and she regains her freedom.

It may be possible you have a certain issue which you are facing right now in life. Maybe you have a secret disease which has been troubling you for years. You have done everything in your power but still the problem seems to persist. 

This morning, I want you to agree with me for the touch of God in your life. Let's touch and agree that God may meet your inner most needs today. Let's agree for your spiritual, mental and physical healing. Let's pray that God may meet all of your financial needs according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus.

Let's touch and agree for salvation of unsaved loved ones in your family. May the Lord protect you from the snares of enemy and traps of wicked people. May He give you wisdom you need to solve difficult puzzles of life. May He give you a good understanding in all things that you may know what you are supposed to act in different season of your life. May He grant you peace, and lead you in the path of life in all the days of your life.

****Morning Prayer****

Dear Father, I coming before You by faith. I'm asking that You may meet my needs, heal my body and deliver from the bondage of the enemy. In Jesus' Name, Amen

ABOVE ALL ELSE

The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.

Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth. I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.

3 John 1:1-4 NASB

I believe Gaius was a spiritual son of Apostle John. Brethren who knew both Apostle John and Gaius went to John and testified about Gaius walk in the truth. Apostle John was happy to hear such news, knowing his children were still walking in the truth.

He prayed that in all respects that Gaius may prosper and be in good health, just as his soul prospers. Apostle John showed the relationship between spiritual prosperity and physical prosperity. He prayed that his physical prosperity should be direct proportional to his spiritual prosperity. In other words if you seek to prosper in form of materials, you need to seek to prosper in the spirit first. 

We live in a period where many Church members want to prosper in form of materials first and desire to prosper in the spirit later. They desire to have material wealth first rather than to have the Lord first in their hearts. Prosperity Gospel has attracted many people in the Church; including those who have a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. (2 Timothy 3:5)

This morning, I want to remind you to seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need. If you will focus on Jesus, He will start focusing on your problems. If you will give your whole life to Him, He will give you all things you need according to His riches and glory.

If you want God to take you serious, you need to start taking Him serious. If you desire to see Him answer your prayers, then you need to put Him to be the first above all else. If you are still living in sin, don't expect you will get something from God. He loves sinners but He hates sin; so if you are still dwelling in sin, you won't get anything from God unless you repent.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, I will seek your Kingdom above all else. Help me to put You first in everything I do in my life. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
