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!

    You will find out what is there in you if you get diligent about seeking it out. Only those who seek will find. For example, many people only see problems. Don’t look for problems and don’t talk about them; focus on the solutions. Train your heart and your mind to find answers and solutions for different problems. As soon as you see a problem, start thinking about possible solutions for it. Start meditating on possible ways to solve it, and God will give multiple ideas for serving people.

    We have been talking about the fact that we can plan together with God and partner with Him to construct a great future. We established also that great future does not happen automatically.We are believers, but that does not mean that we do not have to think about the future. We should not be careless about our future even though we believe that our future is in the hand of God. God has given us a mind and He wants us to move forward and create a wonderful future for ourselves. A person who does not care about his future usually turns to be a failure. It is very important to plan for the future and to envision it.

  • Do You Hear What God Speaks? III

    There is another voice that we hear – it is the voice of other people and the voice of human standpoint. For example, the voice of experts goes in this category – a doctor who proclaims what the medical equipment indicates. A doctor may tell the patient that he will die in three days, because the medical equipment, the analyses and his own medical experience show that. Praise the Lord for our doctors, but we must know that the last word always belongs to God. God often says the totally opposite to what experts say. In such cases, it is necessary that we, while being respectful towards different specialists, put aside the expert conclusions and trust God, not people. The more you trust the expert conclusions and not the Word of God, the less God can give you life.

  • God’s desire for our faith not to be based on the wisdom of man, the wisdom of this age, but on the wisdom of God!

    Only God’s wisdom is meant to bring us into the place of glory. The wisdom of God glorifies and exalts us. It is very important for us to open up our hearts and to receive God’s wisdom. Today we often hear about Chinese wisdom, Russian wisdom, Babylonian wisdom etc. But how wonderful it is that we have been given God’s wisdom! The wisdom of God is the highest form of wisdom for all the living. Only this wisdom is able to transform human life, changing it from within (from inside out). That is why God wants our faith to be based on His wisdom and not the wisdom of men.

  • The law of multiplication II

    “Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing sheaves with him” (Psalm 126:5-6). This Scripture confirms that the one who sows and labours – even if it takes tears – will doubtlessly reap with joy. If we use our God given seed correctly, which means if we sow the seed even with tears then God promises us abundant harvest and lots of joy. All these parables of Jesus tell us of the kingdom of God.
