Expect the best from God, adjust your life to the supernatural intervention from God, but do not forget to do your own part

I welcome you to our site on this wonderful that the Lord has made! The word of God contains Divine wisdom, and this wisdom makes our lives to shine. I invite you today to soak your spirit with this wisdom of God.Continuing our thoughts on breakthrough and the factors that determine our breakthrough in life, I would like to underline the following point today: Do not accept that which is not God’s best you.Go for the best that God has in store for your life. Sometimes we slow down our breakthrough because we choose survival instead of coveting abundant life. Jesus has come that we may have life and life in abundance, instead of just having small drops of blessings. Let us look at the story of the lame man in the book of Acts of Apostles:
“Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 2And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; 3Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. 4And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. 5And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them” (Acts 3: 1-5)
It is likely that this Lame man prayed and expected at least a daily bread for the day. May be he was just expecting some few coins so that he could buy something to eat for the day.Make this confession to your self today: «I reject that which is not the best from God for my life. »  This lame man could have waited every day not only for bread or some alms, but also for healing, however, the person who has got used to his or her situation cannot expect something better from life. Are you expecting a miracle from the Lord today? God wants to give you the best of His blessings. He wants to grant you the desires of your heart. Do you have any aspiration in your heart for the best from God? Or are you like Abraham who begged God to just bless Ishmael when God has prepared for him an Isaac?
Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? 18And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! 19And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. (Genesis 17:17-19)
Are you like the barren woman who said, she has no need of anything when she was as close to her breakthrough in life as never before?
“And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. 9And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually. 10Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither. 11And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there. 12And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him. 13And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people. 14And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old. 15And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door. 16And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid. 17And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life” (2 Kings 4: 8-17).
This woman has come to the place where she began to regard here barrenness, as her fate in life. Even then, when God wanted to give her a breakthrough, she almost lost her chance for a miracle. If it was not for Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, this woman will not have seen her barrenness as a problem. In day of his breakthrough our lame hero rose in the morning expecting to receive some coins in the form of alms from the passing people. He has already stopped expecting healing. This is one of the reasons I believed nothing ever changed in his life for 40 years. Begin to expect changes in your life from now on, and you will soon be discover beyond any shadow of doubt that God’s plan for you is a good plan! You will experience miracles after miracles in your life.The Word of God to you today is this: Expect the best from God, adjust your life to the supernatural intervention from God, but do not forget to do your own part.May your breakthrough never pass you by in Jesus Name!Have a wonderful day!

    The measure of our understanding about importance of the lordship of Jesus Christ will determine the level of victory in our lives. No victory is possible without the lordship of Jesus Christ. The victory is where Jesus is. Only the person that allows Jesus Christ to be his or her Lord can truly walk in His victory.Today I would like to give you several illustrations of how, based on the understanding of the lordship of Jesus Christ, we gain protection from all the purposes of the devil. Let’s look into the Bible.

  • Your gift will make room for you

    Today I would like to start talking about the topic I have titled as: “Your gift will make room for you”. The Word of God says: «A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men» (Proverbs, 18: 16).Your gift will make room for you and will broaden your boarders, if you won’t hide it. So many times believers ask: «Where is my place in the Body of Christ? What is my calling?»Do what you know. This simple principle gives an answer to many questions. Find the thing that you know how to do; find what you can do to promote the Kingdom of God, to help the church to grow and to extend your influence in the society.

    When problems come into our lives, we need to define the source of these problems. But we must know that despite the source there are no problems that God would be unaware of. God not only knows about all of your problems and circumstances; He also has a solution for them and He has power and resources in order to change your circumstances. God is able to change the course of our lives for our good. God’s Word says that «all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose» (Romans, 8:28).
