Breaking News

Breaking News< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

John 4:46-54

 

This day, as you go on your way to work, school, and journey, you will get breaking news of healing, favor, and deliverance–if you believe the Word. The Bible recorded that a noble man heard that Jesus came from < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Judea into Galilee, and he went to Him. Many times you have heard of Him, but you never went to Him. Today, as you have come in contact of the testimony that Jesus is Lord and the word of His mouth is power, breakthrough news will locate you. The noblemanÕs son was dying when he came to Jesus. John 4:49-50, ÒThe nobleman said to Him, ÔSir, come down before my child dies!Õ Jesus said to him, ÔGo your way; your son lives.Õ So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.Ó Do you believe the power in His word? The same power that answered for the nobleman will answer for you this day in Jesus name. As the nobleman received direction to go on his way, he believed and went on his way without question, hesitation, or doubt. If you will believe and go on your way, the same Word that is still living today will locate you for breakthrough news. John 4:51, ÒAnd as he was going down, his servants met him and told him saying, ÔYour son lives!ÕÓ Because you have believed, you will also receive your breakthrough news in Jesus name. Every pronouncement that is negative will become news of positive to the glory of God. It is your day of good news as you go your way in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Appointment

Appointment< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Acts 22:6-18

 

When He called Paul, it was the light of God that found Paul. It found him on his way to commit more crimes against the Lord. Where were you when the Lord called you? If in your journey you have received His calling, direction must be in place. When direction is in place, you will be a rider, not a pusher. God is a God of order and consistency; He will not just call you without direction. Your problem is coming from missing the direction He gave you when He called you. It could have been that you moved before listening for direction. If you have moved before His direction came forth, you have to go back for redirection. The calling of God cannot be fueled by emotion. Paul received a call from Him and he did not move without getting direction. Acts 22:10, Ò So I said, ÔWhat shall I do, Lord?Õ  And the Lord said to me, ÔArise and go into < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Damascus and there you will be told all things which are appointed for you to do.ÕÓ He has an appointment for you; go and ask Him where you are going and what you are to do. Where you are now is not too late or too far for you to ask and get back into a right direction. There is an appointment for you, and you cannot afford to miss your appointment in the Lord. If you will, ask God to deliver you from whatever it is that causes man to miss divine appointments. 

Let Him

Let Him< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

John 4

 

There is a song that goes, ÒEverywhere he went He was doing good.Ó He was, and is the Almighty healer that heals the leper and gives light in the darkness. If you will let Him go through you today, you will not be left the same way. As much as Samarians were rejected by the Jews, as much as the Jews avoided the land < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Samaria because of sin, Jesus had the need to go through Samaria. He wanted to touch the sinnerÕs life. John 4:4, ÒBut He needed to go through Samaria. So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.Ó Will you let Him go through you? His going through will never leave you empty, but it will endue you with what it takes to be connected to heaven. He will be a fountain of living water instead of a dry well. His journey through Samaria was not to judge, but to take them from the past into where they should be with Him. There must have been another route that Jesus could have taken to go to Galilee, but He chose to go through Samaria. At the time He finished in Samaria, He was asked for stay a little longer. John 4:43, ÒNow after the two days He departed from there and went to Galilee If you will let Him go through you, he will never forsake you. After you have let Him through, His presence will continue in your life. Let Him go through you and you will never be the same again.

Queen Vashti

Queen Vashti< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Esther 1-2

 

It was the refusal of Queen Vashti that granted the entrance for Queen Esther. Pray that someone, somewhere, someday will make a wrong move or wrong decsion that will bring forth your right move into your breakthrough. Queen Vashti was the Queen of King Ahasuerus. At  one point, King Ahasuerus requested for the QueenÕs presence and the queen made a decision not to move by the request of the king. The move of Queen Vashti does not settle well with the king, so the king sought counsel from his closest of what to do in response to the queenÕs move. Esther 1:15, ÒWhat shall we do to queen Vashti, according to law, because she did not obey the command of King Ahasuerus brought to her by the eunuchs?Ó The result of the kingÕs counsel was Queen VashtiÕs banishment from the presence of the King. As a result, the need for a new queen brought Esther into place as the new queen. Esther, the least expected, daughter of a captive, became the new queen. Have you thought of your story changing overnight in a land that has nothing to do with your nationality or a land where all hope is hanging? Someone, somewhere, someday will make a wrong move that will bring forth your right move into your breakthrough in this journey of life. EstherÕs elevation brought forth deliverance for the Jews that were under the government of King Ahasuerus. Are you in your EstherÕs position now? Do you know if you have come to your present position for such a time you are in now? Do not be silent, be a relief for those that are in need for GodÕs sake.

Testimonies

Testimonies< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Psalm 119:1-2, 1Timothy < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>1:15, Jonah 1-3

It is the testimonies of God that you keep inside you that will determine how you stand in Him. Psalm 119:2, ÒBlessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!Ó Testimony is evidence in support of fact; a public declaration regarding an experience. The fool has said in his heart that there is no God (Psalm 14:1). It will only take one that is defined as a fool to look to the right, left, up, or down and say there is no God. All the work of His hand is everywhere to testify that the Lord is God and true. It is impossible for any man to keep the testimonies of God and not to seek Him with the whole heart. Among His testimonies is declared, Matthew 9:13, ÒBut go and learn what this means; I desire mercy not sacrifice. For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.Ó  If you are one that keeps His testimonies in your heart, seeking Him will always be your top priority. You seek Him by reaching out to the sinners in which you were once chief. His testimonies that you keep will compel you to reach out to the sinners. JonahÕs loss from the presence of God due to his disobedience relegated him to the sinnersÕ camp. Jonah spent three days seeking salvation from the dark and remembered what it means to be a sinner. JonahÕs experience outside of God energized him to go and seek after God by reaching out to lost souls for the Lord. Ask God to endue you with the grace to be one that keeps His testimonies and seeks after Him. Be blessed by keeping His testimonies.
