Moving on

By Teboho Masakala©

We often give other  people a chance to hurt  and destroy us, we allow them to bring so much pain in our lives that it becomes hard to move on. No matter how hard it seems to move on. Learn to move on, move on with your life and don’t worry yourself about what they did to you.

At times we force others to love us, care for us, we do everything to buy love, the need to belong and feel loved make us do things desperately that makes us regret at the end, never buy love from someone who don’t love and care about you, learn to move on, moving on will set your mind free.

God has all the love you need. Never make it hard to forgive yourself for a fault that is not yours, at times we blame ourselves for others mistakes which they brought upon themselves, blaming yourself will bring more harm than good to you, move on, forget about it, move on with your life and never consider it as part of your future but let it remain part of your past. Move on.

Stop pretending to be who and what you are not, trying to fit in a space where you know that you don’t belong, a place that tears you apart inside, stop pretending  because you only hurting yourself, you only breaking your heart to pieces while trying to fit in.

Move on, move on with your life and stop being what you are not, move on and be yourself.

In Christ your  are wonderful, beautiful and a new creation. Stop crying for your ex-boyfriend, girlfriend, wife or husband who brought nothing but tears for you, stop trying hard to win them over your life, let them move on, if they had truly loved you they would have stayed with you.

God loves you and is with you, he didn’t make you cry nor hurt you but your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend did so let them move on, forget about them

and move on with your life.

Stop embracing your failures and crying for what you wanted to achieve or lost, what you didn’t achieve years ago should not hinder you to enjoying your life. God created you with a purpose, giving you happiness was part of his plan for you. Move on with your life and forget about what you could have achieved and work hard to achieve what you want because God is with you and nothing can be against you.

Never allow someone to look down on you or undermine you because you are poor. Your situation should not be used to undermine you. Never be hurt by those who undermine you because of what you cannot afford. Move on and don’t even think about them or put them to heart. Move on

God loves you, learn to move on with God, as you are moving on, invite God and let him be with you in everything you do.

All Things Work Together for Good of Those Who Love the Lord

By Teboho Masakala

We lose our loved ones to death, we get into different trials beyond our control, we cry too much thinking that God doesn’t care about us or has forgotten about us, do not despair as all things work together for good of those who love the Lord. (Romans 8:28)

God sometimes let us go through trials so that He can strengthen us, not because He wants to hurt us but because he has something good planned for us. Something that He knows it is going to help us and he knows that without passing through trials we won’t achieve what He has planned for us as He has good things planned for us.

God can also take a friend, boyfriend or girlfriend away from us and make them to separate from us, not because he doesn’t want us to be loved but because he knows that you wont have time to focus on him as you will be worrying and stressing about your boyfriend, friend or girlfriend but when God takes them away by means of separation or them going to stay in another place, it gives us chance to focus on God.

God only wants good for us, sometimes He wants us all to himself but because something’s are a distraction in our lives, he takes them away so that the joy, success and breakthrough he want us to have can be complete. 

All God does is to benefit us and not to harm us. It is for our own good, it is for our own benefit but we need God to open our spiritual eyes so that we can see that ‘’All things work together for good of those who love the Lord”.

If you love God, you know that all he does is good and has a purpose for our lives, a good purpose, a good plan for us, God said to Jeremiah “for I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you”.

So everything God does is because He loves us as he called us according to his purpose and if you love the Lord you will understand that when you go through hard times, God is with you and hasn’t forgotten about you but is working something good for you. Something that will bring Glory and honour to him.

“Before you were born I knew you and knit you together in your mother’s womb” God said to Jeremiah, showing that God knew us even before he planned creation!

Never for a second, hour or moment think that God has left you or doesn’t care about what you going through. God knows and is with you every second, day, hour or minute. He is preparing you, he is preparing something good for you as you love him and are called according to his purpose. 

Ask God to open your eyes so that you can see that “All Things Work Together For Good Of Those Who Love The Lord And Are Called According To His Purpose”

PSALM 23

By Teboho Masakala

“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want; surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil (Psalm 23)”

How often we find ourselves facing death in the eye? So many times the enemy comes and tries to drive us out from God’s presence, our enemies trying to pull us down and hurt us. But the Lord is our Shepherd, protecting us, watching us and he is our shepherd through all trials and temptations.

When you walk through difficulties and storms in life, when you have no hope, do not despair because surely goodness and mercy shall follow you, don’t be scared of your enemies, don’t be scared of the traps your enemies are setting for you day and night.

 The evil plans your enemies’ sets you day and night shall not prosper because even though you walk through the value of shadow of death, fear no evil because God is your Shepherd and fear no evil because surely goodness and mercy shall cover you all the days of your life.

 

Your enemies may plan wicked traps to snare you, the devil wants your soul and uses his evil ways to bring you down, do not fear because God shall prepare a table in the presence of your enemies, they will live to see your success, they will live to see God exalting you higher and higher because God anoints your head with oil, your cup runneth over.

So many times the enemy has came trying to chase you out of God’s presence, to make you scared and make you far away from God, do not fear the devil but tell him that “the Lord is my Shepherd and I shall fear no evil, he restores my soul, he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name sakes”

All the days of your life, God’s goodness and mercy shall follow you over the days of your life, you shall find favour in the Lord because he has anointed your head with oil and he is your shepherd and when you have him, you shall fear no evil, even death has no power over your life, even if you face it face-to-face, do not fear because even if you walk in the valley of shadow of death you shall fear no evil, God’s rod and  staff shall comforts you.

God will lead you in the path of righteousness; he shall prepare a table in the presence of all your enemies. All the days of your life surely goodness and mercy shall follow you, everything you do shall be blessed as the mercy of God shall follow you.

Fear has no place in your life because the Lord is your shepherd and is with you. You shall dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of your life; God’s presence shall never leave you.

To God be the Glory.

AMEN (God Let Your Will be done)

By Teboho Masakala

“I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the Glory that will be revealed in us” (Romans Chapter 8: 18)

I ask myself how did Jesus do it, makes such a sacrifice, the ones that he loved, wanted him crucified, he knew that his friends will betray him, he knew that his blood will be shed, but still he said Amen. Lord I surrender my will and not yours.

We face painful life situations, trials and challenges that seem so difficult and no way going out of them, but you should not despair and keep on saying AMEN. You must surrender your will to God and say Amen.

 The ones that we love sometimes cause us great pain, the pain that pierces our hearts so deep, but we must keep on saying Amen to God and give him the Glory.

In our persuasion of happiness, we find ourselves even falling into traps, lots of them as we trying to free and fill the happiness void in our life. Keep on saying Amen because God knows what you going through.

Your child doesn't

 respect you, you have just lost your Job, friends and a loved one, don’t stop saying Amen to God. Keep on saying Amen to God; let your will be done.

You are poor and don’t have food to eat and don’t even have clothes to wear and don’t know where your next meal will come from, keep on saying Amen God let your will be done. Your wife, child, husband or family member has been hospitalized and it seems no solutions coming your way, keep on saying Amen God let your will be done.

When trouble come say Amen and when trouble goes keep on saying Amen, God I trust you, with all of my heart I say Amen. When your friends who you trusted betray you and let you down keep on saying Amen God let your will be done.

Look at your tests and troubles, they can’t compare to the pain that Jesus went through and if he can go through it, surely you can do the same. The place and situation you are in, Jesus has already stood on so keep on saying Amen God let your Will be done.

Have patience, God is with you in your situation and will not let your troubles overcome you or let anything bad happen to you. Keep on saying Amen God let your Will be done.

If you don’t understand why you are in the pain or trials you are in keep on saying Amen God let your will be done.

The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the Glory that will be revealed in us” (Romans Chapter 8: 18).

GOD SPEAKS NIGHT AND DAY “You Just Need to Hear His Voice” By Teboho Masakala©

God speaks night and day; you just need to hear His voice.

God speaks through many different things.

God can speak through clouds, thunder or our way of life, God can speak through our family, friends, siblings or people close to us.

Many don’t want to hear God speak, they ignore the call of God. Some hear but do not do what God wants them to do.

God speaks in ways we sometimes don’t understand. God speaks to us all day and night but it’s only a few who listens to his voice.

God is sending a message to the whole world but they don’t want to listen, the world doesn’t want to listen to the word of God.

God uses different methods to make us hear but we do not listen. God is using different methods to make us listen but we choose ignorance and to be deceived and fooled by the world.

God speaks to us day and night but we have hardened our hearts. Why have we hardened our hearts? Why can’t we listen when God speaks? Why can’t we listen to his voice? He is speaking to us night and day; we just need to hear his voice.

TRUE PEACE COMES FROM JESUS

We often roam around trying to find peace, trying to find happiness, trying to fill this big void that is in our lives or have been left. Out of desperation, we end falling into disaster in search of true happiness, love and peace. How sad we sometimes find ourselves as we even end up making fools of ourselves and end up breaking down and crying

Be still, don’t move, look up to heaven because God provides absolute happiness, peace and love that we desire. If you make the Most High God your dwelling, your life will change so much and you will experience peace that you have long wanted.

How useless is it sometimes trying to find peace in all wrong places? We try finding it in our girlfriends/boyfriends, friends and even through our families but end up realising that instead of them filling the void in our lives, they makes that hole even bigger and bigger.

How mightily is God Almighty who knows your heart, life and how much you want peace? True peace is not found in people but it is Jesus who is the ultimate provider of peace we desperately need in our lives.

Stop looking for happiness and peace in wrong places, this world doesn't have peace on its own, so how will it gives you peace if it doesn't have peace on itself?  Why waste your time, money and even resources trying to fill the hole in your life that God can feel in seconds? What takes you hours, years or a lifetime can be filled by God in seconds!!

God created us out of his own image, he knows our lives more than ourselves, he knows everything about us, and from the number of our hair to the tip of your toes he knows everything. You might have cried, had problems or had your heart broken in so many pieces that it may seem hard to put it together again.

Do not despair, call on Jesus, make God the Most High your dwelling place and see how peaceful your life will be, how problem free you will be, you will be filled with happiness, love and peace. You won’t have any void in your life because those in the LORD experience true happiness.

Forget about the world, make God your dwelling place, your resting place, and give your life to Jesus because True Peace comes from Jesus. He is the source of True peace.

JESUS THE BEGINNER

The bible says in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word was God, if then God himself started his beginning with the word, what makes you think that you can start anything else without the word of God??

Meaning that as it is said in the bible, invite Jesus (THE WORD) in everything that you do, therefore in everything we do, we ought and must start first with the word (Jesus).

When you wake up in the morning, let Christ be the first person to talk to, he must be your first priority hence he started everything with the word of God, he spoke the word and the word in the beginning was with God and the word was God! Jesus is the beginning of everything that is why the scriptures say He is the beginning and the end.

 Allow Jesus to begin everything in your life, on the contrary if we don’t invite him to begin our lives and when the going gets tough, it is when we want to invite him, and don’t you think if you could invite him in the beginning of things, things would be different?

Start everything with the Word of God and your day will be an awesome day.

Be Blessed

Why is it difficult to forgive?

Mpho Olifant

Why is difficult to forgive your fellow brothers and sisters? Why have you hardened your heart? Yes they might have hurt you and caused you excruciating pain but you must learn to forgive.

Genesis 37:11 gives an insight about how much Josephs brothers hated him because he was their fathers favourite, they conspired to murder him but ended up selling him. He spent most of his entire life in Egypt and grew up without his father who adored him so much and his brothers but at the end, he took care of the very same brothers who had plotted to assassinate him, helped them and forgave them!!

Was it easy for him? No, but because he loved and served an omnipotent God, he forgave his brothers and after forgiving them, his was re-united with his father and brothers and able to move on happily.

How many times have you asked God for forgiveness? How many times did God forgive you and help you? Why can’t you do the same to those who have hurt you? Especially in tough times. No matter how hard  it is, learn to be forgiveful and I assure you, you will be  ecstatic, have joy, be able to forgive those who come to you and begs for your forgives, regardless of what they did to you, don’t keep quiet, just forgive them without any mention of the past.

Let God deal with every situation, whatever what might have happened belongs in the past and let God deal with it. Kneel down and pray, tell God that you forgive all those who have hurt you and ask God to forgive them also. We are all created by God Almighty; God knows what to do, never judge those who hurt you, let God deal with them and forgive them.

The God of our fathers Abraham, Joseph and Moses has seen our misery, let’s bow down bringing him honour and praise. The minute you forgive, you do not think or perceive them as foes anymore but your heart will be at peace.

How can you love God when you are not able to forgive because God forgives and is love? Do not hold grudges, do not resent or hate, let go, just let go of all the hate causing you not to forgive, do not point fingers but give all to God.

1 John 3:15 “whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer and you know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him” (KJV)

GOD IS WITH YOU THROUGH YOUR STORM

In life, we are going to face so many difficult storms of life where we will even think about giving up, we going to face huge mammoth battles of life and feel like giving up. You going to pray countless times. So many times that you even going to think God is not answering your prayers or is far from you or doesn’t care about you.

That is not the truth, when you are weak and down, that is when God is near you more than anything, when you pass through the storms, God is close to you and near to you, watching you and providing a way for you to get out. You may see as if like you praying everyday without any answers from God and you may even want to give up thinking Jesus doesn’t hear you or is far from you.

That is not the truth because God has a beautiful reason why He lets storms, trials and tribulations happen in our lives. Remember that God Almighty won’t let something bad happen to you because you are so precious to him nor will He give you a burden you can’t handle without providing a way out for you.

Considering the faithful man of God  Job, He was a rich man who lost it all but He never lost faith in God or doubt God no matter what, even though the devil tried tricking him into bowing down to him, he refused and kept having strong faith in God.

He knew that God was preparing something for him and that the storm he went through at the time was not meant to last but to pass and strengthen him and his faith in God. God was pleased by Job’s perseverance, faith and staying strong holding on to God through his difficult storm.

Life storms bring us close to God, sometimes God let them happen so that we bring Glory to him. We sometimes are so caught up in ‘lives busy world” that we forget about God and in order for God to remind us that He our Creator and that we are his children, he brings a little storm in your life and when the storm passes, you become close to God and able to help others going through the very same pain you went through.

Each of us has his/her own different storm, whether you are in debts, you are divorced, you are unemployed, struggling to have children, work problems or having failed at school/college/ university so many times that you want to give up, just hold on because this test your storm which wont stay for a long time.

God is able to deliver you in the storm you are in and He is going to deliver you, hold on, the is a lesson you going to learn from the storm. God is watching you during your storm and providing a way to get out of the storm, you need to keep praying, if it means praying for 100 days, do it be it because a blessing is coming out of the storm you went through.

Out of every storm you passed, God brings blessings, teaching, testimony, strong faith in you and strengthens your relationship with God.

Do not give up but rejoice in your storm because God is going to bring you out of it stronger than ever, in every storm, trial and tribulation you pass, God’s Glory is revealed and Glory is given to Him. He opens blessings after every storm you pass and a testimony; you will testify the Goodness of God to other.

  

GOD IS WITH YOU THROUGH YOUR STORM.
