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.

Awakening the Sleeping Giant, Awakening the Hero in You By Teboho Masakala©



v Believe in yourself and have self confidence in Christ: because Christ alone will lift you to greater heights.

v Avoid Negative Mind-set:  negative mind-set will lead you to viewing life negatively and all you do will fail because you would have programmed your mind negatively and all things will look difficult, get rid of the negative mind-set, rid all negative people who think negatively also.
v Be positive at all times:  the will be area’s in your life where you will need hope, where things will seem difficult and you must stay positive, even in situations where it seems hard, never cease to stay positive. You will succeed as you will see life in a positive way.

v Surround yourself with positive people:  if the friends you hang around with never encourage you or doesn’t have same goal and dreams as you, please leave them and get out from them, the is nothing positive about them. When you surround yourself with positive people, they will help you reach your goal as you will be on the same level and thus the hunger to succeed will increase also, goals, dreams, future plans will be achieved as they will pick you up and guide you to your goals and dreams.

v Have goals and dream:  if you living life without goals and dreams you are just wasting your time, dreams are the reason we go to work every day, school, universities, colleges and working hard to achieve something, a life without goals and dreams is a wasted life without direction.

v Set a motto that will enable you to reach your goals:  it is funny sometimes how people choose their mottos; some don’t even apply to their goals and dreams. It is very vital you set a motto that will help you achieve your dreams, for e.g. (example) if you say “where the is a will the is a way” use it to reach your dreams when you see as if everything is about to fall apart, use it to find some chance or something that will lift you up and enable you to achieve your dreams.


v Never hold on to the past:  our life is often delayed because we cry too much about what we lost, the past will hinder you from progressing forward, you will be stuck in all those things that brought you tears. You must learn to let go of the past, every day is a new day with blessings. The past will hold you from progressing forward. Accept that what happened in the past stays there and cannot affect your future.

v Pray at all times:  without prayer nothing happens, in order for you to achieve your dreams and goals you need to put God in everything you do and in your life and all you want to achieve will be possible, without prayer we are nothing.


v Listen to what God says: often we care so much about what people say about us, they say we ugly, poor, rich, boring, big headed and call us with every name they find, we worry so much because of what they say. We should stop listening to what people say about us and start thinking about what God says about us.
 God loves us, He cares for us and has a plan for our lives, to make us prosper and therefore what people say about us doesn’t matter at all but what God thinks about us is important and we should not mind what people say about us because we were not created by people.

v Never Give up, Keep trying:  never give up on your dream the is no such thing as failure as you always get another chance to reach your dreams. Never give up keep trying, failure is not an option.

v You alone hold the key to your Future:  The ball is in your court; you alone can make or break your dreams and goals.


v Make God the Centre of your life: To succeed in everything, you need to make God the centre of your life, tell God your dreams and goals, he will make them come true, invite him in all you do, if your plans ,goals, dreams doesn’t have God as the centre of it, they will fail. Make God the ultimate centre of your life, goals and dreams.  To God be The Glory

Street kids, God will Never forsake You

They have no shelter, they have no home or roof to lay their heads under, they don’t know the warmth of a family, the love of a mother, father, sister and how good it feels to be united as one family.
Everyday they move from one place to another in search of food and shelter, when it is cold, the only thing they have to keep them warm is glue and boxes which they use to make fire and warm themselves.
God has seen you the street kids, God has seen you how you scattered all over the place looking for food, a place to sleep and the distress you find yourself under, while people might be looking at you undermining you and saying all kinds of things about you because of your situation just do not despair as God Almighty knows what you going through.
God loves all of us, all of us are His wonderful creation, no matter the situation we find ourselves in, God will never leave us as He loves us. You who people call and see you as a street kid, know that God loves you, you won’t be in the situation you are in forever, God Almighty will open ways for you to get help.
God saw how much Israel was suffering under Pharaoh king of Egypt, He saw how oppressed they were and how ill treated they were by Pharaoh, they were made slaves, God Almighty didn’t turn a blind eye to this because He knows how it was affecting His nation, once and for all, God decided it was time to put an end once and for all to the suffering of His nation under Pharaoh’s rule.
God sent Moses to free His nation, even though Pharaoh hardened his heart, he finally let Israel go, and he even chased after them but was swallowed by the sea.
God also just like he sent Moses, will take you out of the street, a time is coming when you will never be called a street kid, just like Gospel Singer Sechaba Padi who was a street kid and God transformed him and today, he is a famous gospel singer in South Africa and respected, God also has a plan for your life and all of us, no matter how bad we might be looked by the world, God has a purpose for our lives.
What you going through today as a street kid is not meant to last forever but will pass, Job situation didn’t last forever and he was blessed by God who was with him all along.
You who they call street kid, know that God is with you, he is seeing you, when you scavenge for food in dustbins, going from one place to another searching for food and sitting in a corner when its cold and raining.
 God will never forsake you, one day you going to come out of the situation you are in, one day you will be a testimony to the world bringing Glory and Praise to God Almighty.
God didn’t forsake Israel when they were ill treated in Egypt, no He didn’t ignore them and won’t ignore you too, and your day of Happiness will come.

ASK GOD THROUGH PRAYER


When we pray, we talk with God Almighty, we communicate and have an intimate session, moment or time with Him, we tell Him all what troubles us and what we want God to do for us, when we pray, we pour our hearts out to Him.

God see how we pray, He sees and knows how we pray, what we pray for and how important it is that we ask Him, when we ask God for something, He knows how important is what we ask Him, how life changing it will be, the people who will benefit from that prayer, the Glory it will bring to Him, God looks into the heart of the person praying and asking from Him, He looks deep into it and can see if we are happy, heart broken or sad when we pray.

We always ask, seek and try to get what we want from people while God is waiting for us to ask and He is more than ready to provide, unlike people who will be calling us names saying we ask too much and cant stop asking, but with God is not like that as He is our father and is waiting for us to ask (Matthew 7:7-11), He is more than ready and waiting for us to ask what we want from Him through prayer. Child of God what are you waiting for?

The blind man of Jericho went to Jesus, he was blind and did not have any vision to his eyes, He asked Jesus to cure him so that he could be able to see, Jesus asked him “What would you like me to do for you?” he replied and told Jesus he wanted to see again, God is waiting for you to ask, waiting for you patiently and asking “What would you like me to do for you? What is it that you would like God to do for you?.
Before you even kneel down and prayer, God has already answered your prayer, God has already gave you what you want before you even utter a word as He can see your heart, future and destiny, He is omnipotent and all is laid bare before him.

Let us never be shy to pray or ask God for help or what we want, where can we run to if it is not God? Where can we get comfort if it’s not God? Why do we cry when God is ready to wipe away our tears.
 Gold Mighty is an awesome God, a flawless Father who loves His children so much and a jealous God who wants us all for Himself.
