Do not fear, our Lord is here to provide us every need
Jeremiah 31:3-4 NKJV
3 The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying:
“Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
4 Again I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt,
O virgin of Israel!
You shall again be adorned with your tambourines,
And shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice.
Does God still love me? He said YES! i have loved you with everlasting love
His love for me never ceases
Hesed is the word for grace
With grace He has drawn me
Grace is the very Person of our Lord Jesus Christ
Grace is the very person of our Lord
He is drawing us to Himself
He wants to be with us

Jesus wants to bless provide and give
Jesus is here to give us life!
Let Him build our lives
Look to Him. Do not look to myself.

You look to Him, He is able to restore. When He restore it is more beautiful than before.
Daniel 12:3-4 NKJV
3 Those who are wise shall shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
And those who turn many to righteousness
Like the stars forever and ever.
4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
This tells us the sign of the time
You have knowledge. Knowledge is available to you
There is a word of wisdom.
Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament.
How do you turn a person to righteousness?
The only way is when you preach the gospel and they believed
The wisdom for our time is to be involved in evangelisation
Thank God for people who are willing to share
You have an endurance spirit
This is wisdom for generation
The world loves things. God loves souls

The Lord is able to resurrect.
Whatever you are going through, the Lord can turn it around for you
2 Kings 4:38-41 NKJV
38 And Elisha returned to Gilgal, and there was a famine in the land. Now the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, “Put on the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.”
39 So one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered from it a lapful of wild gourds, and came and sliced them into the pot of stew, though they did not know what they were.
40 Then they served it to the men to eat. Now it happened, as they were eating the stew, that they cried out and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it.
41 So he said, “Then bring some flour.” And he put it into the pot, and said, “Serve it to the people, that they may eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot.
There was death in the pot. Elisha said bring some flour and put into the pot
He overcame the poison by throwing in the flour.
The flour speaks of His finished work at the cross
Put Jesus into the situation. The death will be neutralised.
John 15:5 NKJV
5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
when you need to depend on yourself you will bring death
There is no other wisdom. Only Christ and you alone
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Put the fine flour in the pot of death and the pot of death will become pot of life!
Hosea 6:1-3 NKJV
1 Come, and let us return to the Lord;
For He has torn, but He will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will bind us up.
2 After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.
3 Let us know,
Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
His going forth is established as the morning;
He will come to us like the rain,
Like the latter and former rain to the earth.
a thousand years to the Lord is as one day
Expect great things from God
The battlefield is often in our thoughts

Consider Him
Not consider ourselves or our circumstances
What are you considering
See Him in all He has gone through for you. That is the source!
