Thank Him in Advance
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines...Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.”
(Habakkuk 3:17–18, NKJV)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
We all have dreams and goals that God has placed in our hearts, things we’re believing for, situations we’re praying will turn around. These promises start off like seeds. They don’t come to pass overnight. There’s always a period of waiting involved. From the time we pray till the time we see it come to fulfillment, that’s called the trial of our faith. This is when many people get discouraged and give up. They start believing the negative thoughts, “It’s never going to happen. It’s taken too long.” Now, that seed is lying there dormant, but it’s still alive. It still has potential. You have to do your part and start watering the seed. The way you water it is by thanking God in advance and declaring His Word. You can’t wait until you receive the promise. You have to thank God that the answer is on the way!
Today, no matter what you are facing, know that God is greater than all of it. He has the answer and is working for your good behind the scenes. All through the day say, “Father, thank You that whatever I touch prospers and succeeds. Thank You that Your favor surrounds me like a shield.” Thank God in advance, water those seeds of faith, and take hold of every promise He has for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, today I choose to rejoice in You. No matter what my circumstances look like, I know You are greater than my circumstances. I trust that You are working behind the scenes to fulfill every one of Your promises in Jesus’ name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen

Today's word

Trusting God – Do you have faith –? What is faith – faith gives substance to the things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. So how is ones faith tested –? When the going gets tough do we abandon our God – do we jump ship because we are “going through”  The answer is NO ,  as Christians we must keep the faith – even when it does not look good or feel good – you have to know its working for the good – you must learn the lesson – the season of testing – your harvest season is over – it’s time for reaping your reward – you stood the good fight - they lied on you, they cheated on you, they ignored you, your finances fell so below it’s a wonder you are still standing-  and yet through it all you kept harvesting and trusting – storing up on his word and planting good seeds. The bible says : Ecclesiastes 3:1-22   - For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to pl...

Know your strength! This question has been asked over and over again – Who do the strong go to? Have you ever felt like you have the answers for everyone else, always there for everyone, but when you need assistance you cannot help yourself and there is no one there to help you? Why?  Because God has equipped you with the gift to be a blessing to others, however you must remember the strong go to God (not man/woman). We must go to him in spirit and in truth seeking guidance and wisdom - always remembering to repent 1 st . With an open mind and open heart trusting and believing that the storm is over and you shall be rewarded - it is time to reap what you have sown.  Its OK that you went through publicly …remember a little rain falls on the just and unjust alike, keep the faith and stay strong the battle is over – you won – stop worrying – its harvest time – for everything there is a season – and now this is your season to walk in your anointing – to ...
