STOP COMPLAINING

And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and His anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them and consumed them that were in the uttermost part of the camp. (Numbers 11:1).

Appreciation gets God's attention but complaining attracts His anger. One of the greatest thing that displeases God is complain. Ingratitude demeans God's omnipotence. Complains set in when we focus on what is not working, instead of focusing on God's word. Understand that there are a lot of good things happening in your life right now, but the attitude of ingratitude will make you ignore them and never acknowledge the good things in you, but instead emphasize on the negatives by complaining.

See what the Bible says in Philemon 6; that the communion of your faith may become effectual by the ACKNOWLEDGING OF EVERY GOOD THING WHICH IS IN YOU IN CHRIST JESUS.
Choose to acknowledge and focus on your strength and stop complaining and getting worried about your weakness. I am confident that the Lord is perfecting that which concerns you and He that has begun a good work in you will finish it.

Focus on God not on men. You will not stop complaining because you are looking up to man as your source instead of God. With men disappointment is inevitable, but with God success is sure. Refuse to give room for complains. To stay out of complains, you must learn to put your trust only in Hod, focus on Him and have in mind that God cannot fail you. He is too faithful to fail you. He is dependable and reliable
 He is all you need. No matter the challenges you are going through right now, please never forget that it is working together for your good child of God. Cheer up!

FURTHER STUDY: Psalm 139:14, Psalm 34:1-11

PRAYER:
1. Oh Lord help me by your Spirit to focus on your goodness and deliver me from the temptation of complaining.
2. I refuse to magnify my present and unwanted situation by complaining. Therefore, I celebrate by faith, God's plan for my future.
3. I walk by faith and not by sight in Jesus name.

LISTEN TO GODS' VOICE TODAY

"Today if you hear God’s voice speaking to you, do not harden your hearts against Him, as the people of Israel did when they rebelled against Him in the desert.” (Hebrew 3:15). God speaks to his creation at all times. As we read the bible we see instances where God spoke to unbelievers, example; Saul,  Nebuchadnezzar etc. Jesus spoke to the wind and it obeyed him, He also spoke to the fig tree. How much more you his child. It is an error for you to say you can’t hear his voice.  Jesus speaking in..…John 10:27 said; “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”  As Gods' children, we have the capacity and the ability to hear His voice. But the challenge is; a lot of us do not pay attention and listen to what God is saying. Probably because we are waiting to have the Saul’s encounter of a voice speaking from heaven (Act 9:4). God speaks to us in our spirit with a small still voice. Prophet Elijah had an encounter with this voice… II Kings 19:12 -13 “...and after

DON'T BE AFRAID OF THEIR THREAT

But that it spreads no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. Acts 4:17 There are people who live relatively free from persecution even though they may have experienced some mockery, ridicule or ostracism because of their beliefs. One thing we must never do is to fear punishment or death, although some Christians elsewhere in the world are killed for their faith. From the scriptural text, we noticed that Peter and John were threatened for proclaiming the gospel, but here is their response in Acts 4:20; "Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than Him? We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard". (NLT) Our goal as believers is to become unshakable in our faith. Peter and John didn't flinch from their responsibility to proclaim salvation in Jesus name even in the face of imprisonment and threats. Yet, in reading this account, we may wonder how we could ever endure persecutio

THE JOY OF SERVING GOD

And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD”. - Joshua 24:15 Joshua certainly understood how joyful it was to serve the LORD. So many do not understand the benefits of serving the LORD. Joshua refused to follow the opinions of the majority of the people but made it his personal decision to serve the Lord with his household. Serving the Lord has to be a personal decision you make with God. Even when others refuse to yield themselves to the work of God because of their ignorance of the blessings of service, you would joyfully make yourself a vessel that God can use at all times because you have understanding of God’s blessings. Few reasons why many do not serve the Lord: 1. They think they don’t have the time. 2. They will do it later. 3. T
