Pay the Fortune

Make Thy Way Prosperous

Joshua 1:8 -This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Come to me, All

Mathew 11:28 Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

When we encounter setbacks and failure and thus feel sorrow and pain, God will heal the pain in our heart, and guide us to cast off hardship. Have you ever had a time in your life where you felt overwhelmed by the things of this world? Where life seemed so hard and no matter what you did, things just wouldn’t go right?

We are allowed to come to God personally; there is nothing between Him and us. The first thing that Jesus says to us is, “Come to Me…”. I know and very well remember that in my life when I tried to do everything with my own strength alone it did not turn out well. 

God wants to set you free and give you rest from the torture you are under. God can take the addictions of your life if you let Him. For some people, it will be instant, and for others, it will be a process.

The COVID-19 has brought depression to many life’s. Depression robs you of the ability to enjoy life and not only hurts you mentally but physically as well. God wants you to live a full life and is able to heal your mind as you take those steps of faith to find His rest. Jesus makes an extraordinary offer to all who hear Him. Jesus gave an  invitation to all- if you’re struggling and tired, I can give you relief.

Our burdens are not simple, they are not relieved by simplistic platitudes, but a simple promise can relieve a complex burden, provided we believe that the power behind the promise is complex and strong enough to relieve our heaviness.

Jesus does not give us “10 Ways to Relieve our Weariness,” like the motivational coaches offer in the 21st century where Americans are drawn. Jesus simply offers himself as the universal solution to all that burdens us. We all bear burdens and become weary, but in different ways, for different reasons, and often at different times. When we are weary, we are easily discouraged and can be given to cynical unbelief. So if you are weary, for whatever reason, however complex, Jesus invites you to come. Come, take his light yoke of believing in him.

At whatever stage of your life you find yourself, The life of faith is a constant coming to Jesus for daily, hourly, and fresh supplies. Always set aside part of each day to talk with God, thanking Him for who He is and what He has done for you. 

Wait on the LORD- be of good Courage

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalm 27:14

Patient endurance as we wait for the Lord to work in the difficult circumstances of life, encourages our faith in God.

We need to confidently wait for the Lord to act on our behalf, faith is often tested in those long and painful seasons of life when patient endurance is called upon, we should submissively wait on the Lord’s promises to be fulfilled, in prayer and praise and thanksgiving. Wherever the believer is, he can find a way to the throne of grace by prayer. God’s time to help those that trust in him, is when all other helpers fail. He is a surer and better Friend than earthly parents are or can be. 

The main lesson which the book of psalm 27 verse 14 is designed to convey is “Wait on the Lord”. Wait at his door with prayer; wait at his foot with humility; wait at his table with service; wait at his window with expectancy. Lately, I have become one of those people who waits until the last minute to board a moving bus. I have shared about my life in previous messages.

God has our seat assigned – He knows the route and the destination. There is a certainty – we will go. He will take us forward. He will fulfill His promises to us.

Waiting involves eager expectation, but expectation that is tempered with the understanding that God – in His time – in His way – will move – but only when it’s best to do so.

Henceforth, how firmly are we convinced that God will fulfill His promises? How strong is our faith in God? Those who are mature in their faith know that God does bring the victory and they are willing to wait for Him.

Waiting on God means expectation.

God gives us times of waiting, to prepare – to take stock of the resources He has given us. To equip ourselves – to regain our focus.

Waiting on God means that we are preparing – to be ready with what He has given us because He will fulfill His promises. He will answer our prayers.

Father in Heaven, I lay my life upon Your altar, to be dead to what the entire world would try to offer, and alive in whole hardheartedness to You. This is a time of my consecration and commitment to You alone. In Jesus name.

Amen…….

Rest in the Lord and wait Patiently

Psalm 37:7 –

Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for him: fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.

Relying on God is man’s greatest wisdom.  The Bible teaches about relying on God and the Gospel helps you learn to rely on God in any difficulty and danger and gives you confidence and power.

Instead of worrying and envying, in the book of Psalm David counseled us to trust God and work for His glory. When we look at the prosperity of the wicked we are often distracted.

I remember the days when I failed in several businesses.

I started international courier cargo in 2013 and failed.

I started Marine container leasing in 2014 and failed.

I started a civil construction company in 2014 and again failed.

I started a business in Inland water transportation 2014 and failed.

I started a Stock broking company and then failed again in 2016 while I was trying to establish my contract labor company for construction business.

I failed and became miserable with all debts in 2017.

I saw many who were behind me and saw me as competitors who are well established today and living the best of their life.

But there was something I strongly believed was that I must live and work as God had planned for me. I strongly believe that I will succeed but must follow God’s plan. I met with a severe accident on 19 November 2019 and was unconscious for 3 days. My family members were informed but God had a plan, since then and till now I am driving things with the Glory of God the Father, in times of pandemic every nation has its own conditions and repercussions to address the issue, but we need to understand how God wants us to behave with each other. I have now new people in my life who are helping me find a new job, there are people who are trying to understand my business concept there are people who followed me and looking for opportunities to fix me so that I can move to US as I was cheated by an attorney from New York for H1-B VISA. The Bible teaches us and counsels us of God, to leave all worry and envy and enjoy the blessings God gave us. This means to cheer the heart and mind by considering and by faith receiving multiple blessings of God……

The reason many believers do not delight in God is that they do not know him very well, and the reason they do not know him very well is that they do not spend time with him. Do not think first of the desires of thy heart but think first of delighting thyself in thy God. If thou hast accepted him as thy Lord, he is thine; so, delight in him, and then he will give thee the desires of thy heart.”

If you have God for your ‘enduring substance,’ you can face all varieties of conditions, and be calm, I have no business, for instance, to expect God to save me from the natural consequences of my own worldliness. If I have taken up a course from eager desires for earthly good without due regard to His will, I have no right, when things begin to go awry, to turn round to God and say, ‘Lord! I Wait upon Thee to Save Me.’

He who has delighted in the Lord, and committed his way unto Him, can venture to front whatever may be coming. The person can claim from his faithful Father the protection and the peace which He has bound Himself to give.

This will be blessed then to leave all the possible to-morrow with a very quiet heart in His hands! 

In His Glory
