Meet Lord

Let us understand why the distance builds between the couples….. What are the main key area which we can deal and resolve the matter that results in distance. Fight for You Marriage (1) 'Unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain who build it.' Psalms 127:1 It’s easy to remember where and when you got married, but sometimes what escapes you is why. God created Eve because unlike the rest of His creation Adam had no mate; he was incomplete. So if one of the purposes of marriage is closeness, the enemy of marriage is distance. But problems arise when you expect your spouse to meet every need you’ve got. Only God can do that! A man asked his friend, ‘How come you never got married?’ He replied, ‘Because I was looking for the ideal woman.’ ‘And you never found her?’ his friend asked. ‘Yes, of course, but just my luck—she was looking for the ideal man.’ Hello! The Bible says, ‘Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for ...

Give GOD first place in all things, because you came from GOD and not of man. Hence deserves the first fruit in all.  ‘Honour the LORD with…the firstfruits of all your increase.’ Proverbs 3:9  Solomon writes: ‘Honour the LORD with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine’ (vv. 9-10). The people who heard these words lived off their land and their livestock. Whenever they reaped a harvest or birthed new cattle, they’d take the first sheaf or the firstborn calf to the temple and offer it to the Lord. These were called ‘firstfruits’. By doing this they acknowledged that ‘everything I have comes from God, and belongs to God. And everything I’ll need for the future depends upon God’s goodness to me’. There’s not a more important money management principle you’ll ever hear than this: give God your ‘firstfruits’, not your leftovers! Businessman Arthur DeMoss was a sp...

You are dealing with depression, need assistance then come to the healer - Jesus Christ. God will help you to recognize what kind of depression you are going through and deliver you. Dealing with depression ‘Your words…were my joy and my heart’s delight.’  Jeremiah 15:16 People in Bible times dealt with depression too.  Elijah said , ‘I have had enough, Lord…Take my life’ 1 Kings 19:4.  Job said , ‘I loathe my very life’ Job 10:1.  David wrote , ‘My soul is downcast’ Psalm 42:6.  Now, when you’re clinically depressed you should seek professional help. But the kind of depression we’re talking about here is when your motivation is drained, your desire to pursue God is gone, your conversations have turned sour, you’re blind to your blessings, your enthusiasm is forced, and you’re in a daze regarding the future. Here are some possible causes:  1) Sin . Sin is like a stone in your shoe; you’ll have no peace until you get it ...

Are you worried thinking you haven't changed, still you struggling to make it in time to any place,  feeling you are not excelling at your work..........Christ is the Answer I can do All things through Christ ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’   Philippians 4:13    Start believing you can change.  Your beliefs control your behaviour. The way you think determines the way you feel. And when your feelings become strong enough, they determine the way you act. The person who says, ‘I can’t do it,’ and the person who says, ‘I can do it,’ are both right. Much of the time you set yourself up to be defeated by what you’re saying. Your words reinforce either your right or wrong belief system. Three times in First Peter, God reminds us to be clear-minded and self-controlled. Why? Because a clear mind is essential to self-control. God gave us the power to change our habits when He gave us the power to choose our thoughts. Does Romans twelve vers...

Everyone has a choice....to become Samson or Samuel!! ‘Time would fail me to tell of…Samson…and Samuel.’ Hebrews 11:32  Samson and Samuel are mentioned in the same Scripture, but there are big differences between them. You ask, ‘Why should I be interested?’ Because as a Christian, you are like them. Each had a miraculous birth, so they’re a picture of those who’ve been born again and called to serve God. Paul writes, ‘These things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition…Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall’ 1 Corinthians 10:11-12 . Difference one: Finances. Samson was greedy and manipulating, whereas Samuel practised integrity. One day Samson bet thirty Philistine princes that they couldn’t solve his riddle, saying, ‘If you cannot explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing’ Judges 14:13. Quite a wardrobe, eh? Samson’s emphasis was ‘you shall give me’. He’s an exampl...

‘They shall come back from the land of the enemy.’ Jeremiah 31:16  Are you living under a cloud of guilt, feeling like a failure because your child has gone astray? Don’t do it! The Bible teaches that sometimes children simply won’t listen to the counsel of their parents. Solomon was probably giving a word of personal testimony when he wrote, ‘A wise son heeds his father’s instruction, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke’ (Proverbs 13:1). Jesus didn’t hold the father accountable for the fact that his prodigal son went astray (see Luke 15:11). And if you did your best, God doesn’t hold  you  accountable either. The truth is that bad parents sometimes turn out good children, and good parents sometimes have children who go bad. God’s first two children were placed in a perfect paradise, yet they rebelled. Ultimately, we’re all given the power to choose. There comes a time when every child is no longer a child, and has to t...

You sent help more than once.’ Philippians 4:16  Charles Swindoll tells the story of   the giving tree:   ‘When the boy was young he swung from the tree’s branches, ate her apples, and slept in her shade…But as he grew up he spent less and less time with the tree. “Come on, let’s play,” said the tree. But the young man was only interested in money. “Then take all my apples and sell them,” said the tree. The man did, and the tree was happy. He didn’t return for a long time, but the tree smiled when he passed by one day. “Come on, let’s play!” But the man, older and tired of the world, wanted to get away from it all. “Cut me down. Take my trunk, make a boat, then you can sail away,” said the tree. The man did, and the tree was happy. Many seasons passed – and the tree waited. Finally the man returned, too old to play, or pursue riches, or sail the seas. “I have a pretty good stump left. Sit down here and rest,” said the tree. The man did, and the tree was happy.’ Swind...

For GOD no one is ordinary, he took time to make each one of us, so we are extraordinary. The world might call us Ordinary....or having a label of the ordinary that what opens a way for GOD to pick one of us and bring out something extraordinary. God uses ordinary people ‘Remember…few of you were wise in the world’s eyes…when God called you.’ 1 Corinthians 1:26 NLT Max Lucado writes: ‘Edith Hayes was a spry eighty-year-old with thinning white hair, a wiry five-foot frame, and an unquenchable compassion for South Florida’s cancer patients. I was fresh out of seminary in 1979 and sitting in an office of unpacked boxes when she walked in and introduced herself. “My name is Edith, and I help cancer patients.” She extended her hand. I offered a chair. She politely declined. “Too busy. You’ll see my team here at the church building every Tuesday morning. You’re welcome to come, but if you do we’ll put you to wor...

As the word of GOD says,  GOD has not given us the spirit of fear but the spirit of Love, Power, and Self disciple. GOD is always mindful of us becoZ He always loves us. The importance of self-discipline ‘Learn to sense what is vital…and of real value.’ Philippians 1:10  To achieve greater self-discipline, you should:  1) Start your day by doing the hard things first.  And when you get sidetracked, make yourself go back and complete them. For example, make your bed, pick up your clothes, and wash the dishes; don’t make extra work for others. And don’t start several projects at once; the feeling of ‘getting something done’ will help you grow in self-respect and self-discipline.  2) Make a commitment to be punctual. Tardiness is a hard habit to break. To conquer it you must be willing to call it what it often is – inconsiderate, selfish behaviour.  3) Plan ahead.  Everything takes longe...

God wants you to ask Him for great things https://meetlord.blogspot.com/2019/07/god-wants-you-to-ask-him-for-great.html Please read the above by clicking the above link before reading this: ‘So God granted him what he requested.’ 1 Chronicles 4:10 NKJV When Jabez prayed, ‘Enlarge my territory,’ he was saying, ‘Lord, I want more than I’ve got, and I’m asking You for it!’ This man had great ambitions, and God blessed them. There are three common misconceptions that can keep us from having great ambitions:  1) We confuse fear with humility. We say, ‘Oh, I could never do that,’ and think we’re being humble. But that’s not humility. That’s fear; that’s lack of faith. A truly humble person would say, ‘With God’s help I can do it. With God’s blessing I will do it. I may not be able to do it on my own, but with God’s help I can.’ That’s real humility.  2) We tend to confuse laziness with contentment. We quote Paul: ‘I have learned to be content whate...

World saying goes like this "Try to manage in what you have and not think big", But what our GOD says " He wants you to stretch out, remove ur limitation and ask GOD for great things. God wants you to ask Him for great things ‘And Jabez called on the God of Israel.’ 1 Chronicles 4:10 NKJV In the book of First Chronicles the Bible tells us about a man named Jabez. The first nine chapters consist of genealogies, listing more than six hundred names. And right there in the middle of all those names, God singles out one man for special recognition, and his name is Jabez. There are only two verses in the entire Bible about this man, yet he’s given honourable mention above the six hundred other people mentioned in the chapter. Why did God single him out? What did Jabez do that caused his name to be preserved for over four thousand years? What made him above average?  ‘Now Jabez was more honourable than his brothers’ (v. 9 NKJ...

‘I catch no glimpse of him.’ Job 23:9 NIV Sometimes you will not sense God’s presence. Those are difficult times. In the midst of trouble, Job said, ‘If I go to the east, he is not there; if I go to the west, I do not find him. When he is at work in the north, I do not see him; when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him. Job felt far from God. Yet in spite of his inability to feel God, he resolved, ‘He knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I shall come forth as gold Difficult days demand decisions of faith. David said, ‘When I am afraid, I put my trust in you’ Psalm 56:3 When you can’t understand the ways of God, trust in the unchanging and loving character of God. Go through your Bible and make a list of the character qualities of God, and keep them on hand for tough days. One author writes: ‘My list reads like this: “He is still sovereign. He still knows my name. Angels still respond to His call. The hearts ...
