Out Of The Wilderness!

Matthew 4: 1-24

The wilderness is not a pleasant place to be.
The wilderness is a place of discomfort, hardship and lack of resources.
A wilderness is a tough and difficult environment that's synonymous with the desert.
A wilderness experience is a desert like experience.

On life's journey there can be desert like seasons and experiences.
Such experiences can be times of suffering, such seasons can be unpleasant.
The good news to us today is that suffering has an end. Suffering is not meant to last forever.
1 Peter 5:10

Your wilderness experience is a season of darkness in your life.
The good news to you for today is that light can shine out of your darkness!
Genesis 1:2-3

The wilderness season is a season of warfare in your life. It's a season when people 'fight' to survive or succeed.
The good news is that you will win the battles and war of life if you stay connected to Jesus Christ.
You don't have to wither, sink or become a casualty in the wilderness.
Ephesians 6:10-18

The wilderness season is a time the truth about you is not often seen.
During Joseph's wilderness experience in the pit, on his way to Egypt, as Potipher's slave, and in prison, no one saw him as the great leader that he was.

The wilderness season can be a season when mockers, critics, and naysayers are many around you because they don't see how God's plan will come to pass in your life.
The good news to you is that something good can come out of your wilderness experience.
It was asked "can anything good come out of Nazareth?"
Like Nathaniel who asked this question, some doubters may be  asking "can anything good come out of your wilderness experience?"
John 1:46
You may be asking "can anything good come out of my wilderness experience?"
God is saying to all His children going through a wilderness experience something good will come out of your wilderness experience if you 
co-operate with Him.
The Son of God, the greatest man who ever lived came out of Nazareth, the despised town many thought nothing good will come out of.

Our wilderness time can be a time of dryness and unfruitfulness.
The good news to us today is that God's will and mandate to us as part of His blessing upon our lives is to be fruitful.
Genesis 1:26,28

After the wilderness should come your testimony.
John 1:46
Your wilderness experience may seem as if it's lasting forever, as if it will never come to an end.
God is informing you today that He is the God who changes seasons and makes things new.
God can turn your captivity.
God is the one who terminates our wilderness experience.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
