A Great Question…

Psalm 2:8 “Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for you to own”

Have you ever seen a child in a supermarket that asks for everything they see? If it’s in front of their eyes their hand reaches out and you instantly hear “Can I have that?” We’ve all experienced this at one time or another.

Our verse says that God can give us the nations of the Earth… if we ask for them. The problem is, as we get older we tend to ask less. We find ourselves becoming self sufficient instead of God supplied. God says, if we want something, then we ask Him for it!

Sometimes what we ask for comes quickly. Other times it takes longer, but the key is in asking God. Following that, we just need to keep walking in His ways, obeying His Word and fellowshipping with each other. This results in us obtaining the given promise.

Now, if God can give us something as enormous as the Nations, think about what you might need today. The first step to getting it is to ask God for it. Then pursue Him along life’s path and you’ll receive it.

This week, let’s come before God and ask Him for what we need. Remember nothing is too big or too small for Him. He is concerned about what concerns us, so ask Him for it. Then keep obeying His Word and walking in His ways and before long we’ll have what we asked for.

Wanted Dead or Alive…

Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit”

People like watching a good cowboy movie especially on a wet afternoon. As the good guys pursue the bad guys we often see a sign with the villains picture that says “Wanted Dead or Alive.” The good guys keep chasing him down until they have their man.

Our verse tells us exactly who the villain in our life is; it’s our tongue, or more practically, the words that we speak. Each time we open our mouth we have the choice to speak words that bring life or ones that produce death. If we speak words of life then we eat the fruit of a great life.

This week let’s be like the good guys in the movie and pursue our words. Let’s take time to listen to ourselves and catch any words of death. Don’t concern yourself with what others say just focus on yourself and your words. Other people will eat the fruit that comes from their own words.

When you hear yourself not speaking life then pause for a moment, think and then speak out fresh words of life. You will train yourself into an abundant life in no time. Areas that you have struggled in will start to change. Good stuff will begin to grow and flourish in your life as you tend them correctly with your words.

We love you – have the greatest week!
