Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the word for your meditation and prayer!
The title of my message is: " ARE YOU PONDERING OR WORRYING?."
The Bible says, " Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the centre of your life. " ( Philippians 4:6-7 MSG)
Anxiety and worry may create unsettlement and uncertainty, even at a time such as this, when we are in the Covid-19 lockdown.
At this point you may be saying, " But we are not supposed to be ignorant, never knowing what is going on." I agree.
As we shall see in the following passage, when the angel came and appeared to
Mary and spoke to her about conceiving and giving birth to the promised Messiah, she pondered, or thought about, those things: " The angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace ( free, spontaneous, absolute favour and loving- kindness) with God. And listen! You will become pregnant and will give birth to a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus. He will be great ( eminent) and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to Him the throne of His forefather David, and He will reign over the house of Jacob throughout the ages; and of His reign there will be no end...... Then Mary said, Behold, I am the handmaiden of the Lord; let it be done to me according to what you have said. And the angel left her ....But Mary was keeping within herself all these things ( sayings), weighing and pondering them in her heart. " ( Luke 1:30-33, 38, Luke 2:19)
As Jesus grew up, although Mary knew what the Lord had told her about His being the Saviour of His people, she didn't really understand it all - just as Jesus' disciples didn't understand everything He taught them. I don't believe there is anything wrong with pondering some things in our hearts as Marry did. Many times it is while we are pondering or meditating on something that God gives us revelation or understanding. (Joshua 1:8) But it is one thing to ponder; it is another thing to worry. I think that when we are pondering, in a sense we are praying. We are saying, " Lord, I don't know what this means. I don't really understand it. I need some direction." That is different from sitting around trying to figure it out.
You may wonder, How can I tell when I cross over the line? As soon as you become confused, you have left off pondering and gone into excessive reasoning. Excessive reasoning brings worry, fear and confusion. That is a very good indicator to remember. It is one that God taught me.
Remember that as soon as confusion creeps in, it is the devil, because confusion is not from God.
I urge you not to panic and worry, when you receive a surprise visit or an angelic visitation during the night or day.
You may miss out on your blessings if you don't find time to quietly ponder and hear what the Spirit of God is saying about your life.
God is still saying something! He speaks in many ways at night or during the day, in a dream, vision or prophetic declarations. ( Job 33:14-33).
Listen to the right voice! Don't panic or worry!
Once again," ARE YOU PONDERING OR WORRYING? Stop worrying and ponder in order to receive revelation from God.
Don't miss your blessings and breakthrough!
Wait expectantly! ( Psalm 62:5)
Don't doubt!
May God richly bless you all!
