UPLIFT AND BUILD EACH WITH THE WORD


 

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the word for your meditation and prayer! I am delighted to share the word of upliftment and hope at such a time is this! The Bible says, "Encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing ."(1 Thessalonians 5:11) Life may be very challenging and painful at some stage. Because there are times  when it may seem as if the world has come to an end, due to devastating circumstances, experienced in life. The title of my message is: " UPLIFT AND BUILD EACH OTHER WITH THE WORD" Issues and matters of life do not require material and financial solutions only, but also need spiritual solutions, to address other things in our lives. It is therefore very important to always have time to encourage and uplift one another, with the word of God. In the above scripture, while Paul's exhortation here is excellent, it is the style of the exhortation we should especially notice. We live in an age where we are constantly pressured to emphasize the novel, new, or improved versions of things. But in our lives as Christians, our knowledge always exceeds our obedience. So more often than we like to think, we need to remind each other of what we are doing right and just simply say, "Hey, you're doing well; just keep doing what you're doing!" When one is encouraged or praised they gain strength and rise up and move on with life. Don't be jealous, open up and encourage someone and you will also be encouraged. Paul once again in Ephesians 6:10 says, " Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power." We all come to some stage when we feel tired and hopeless. That is when we need the exhortation such as above. Life may be very challenging sometimes, but with the word of God you can experience joy and peace even in times of trouble and tribulations. Jesus said, in the world you shall face tribulations, but overcome it, as I also overcame the world. ( John 16:33). Even during this COVID-19 period, life may be hard without any survival plan. But I want to encourage you that you must not give up, continue strategizing and planning for new ideas, and you will some other day break even and celebrate. You may have set a target or dates to do an important event, but because of the lockdown you end up setting aside your plans. Don't worry, delay is not denial, plan and pause, you will make it very soon, after the end of this COVID-19 lockdown. You will make it, God never fails, as long as you are willing to wait for the appointed time. I declare a miraculous encounter soon, even at such a time as this. Whatever, you may be facing right now, just pray the following prayer and say: "Faithful Father, thank you for noticing and keeping record of the things I have done that are good and pleasing to you. Please help me to keep doing those things that please you, only better, that you may be pleased and glorified. In Jesus Christ's name we pray- Amen! You need the word always, to encourage and uplift one another. Remember, all scripture is inspired by God, it is good for advice, rebuking and correction.( 2Timothy 3:16-17) The word of God is the Bread of life, it has answers to all spiritual, physical, material and emotional needs! ( Matthew 4:4) The word also says, " And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified." ( Acts 20:32) It is very clear in this scripture that we are all encouraged to build each other with the word of God. We live by the word of God, in our spiritual journey. So let the word of God dwell richly inside you, so that you may be able to withstand the storms of life.( Colossians 3:16-17) Be encouraged and uplifted by this word of assurance and hope, in the name of Jesus Christ!

 May God richly bless you!
