And They Lived Happily Ever After

Sometimes in our lives we tend to forget that we are destined to WIN! Sometimes we think "Happily Ever After" only happens in Fairy Tales! To that though I give a resounding "ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

I remember my Pastor saying, "If it's not good yet, then it's not the end yet."

It's like we're just in a movie, we may fall several times but we know that in the end we will win!

The Bible says:

"Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." - Rom. 8:37 (NKJV)

"The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom." - Deut. 28:13 (NIV)

"Thus says the LORD to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s." - 2 Chron 2:15 (b)

Anymore proof?

It takes you though to believe for it to happen in you! And yes! "We will live happily ever after!"

A God You Can Depend Upon

I am so blessed with this Scripture that I'm sharing it to all of you just as it is.

May the Lord just teach and impress on you what He wants you to learn through His Word.

Deuteronomy 7:7-10 (The Message)


"God wasn't attracted to you and didn't choose you because you were big and important—the fact is, there was almost nothing to you.

He did it out of sheer love, keeping the promise he made to your ancestors. God stepped in and mightily bought you back out of that world of slavery, freed you from the iron grip of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Know this: God, your God, is God indeed,

a God you can depend upon.

He keeps his covenant of loyal love with those who love him and observe his commandments for a thousand generations.

But

he also pays back those who hate him, pays them the wages of death; he isn't slow to pay them off—those who hate him, he pays right on time."


God Bless You!

You are God's Treasured Possession

For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. 

The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples 

on the face of the earth 

to be his people,  

his treasured possession.

Deuteronomy 7:6 (New International Version)

Holy means "set apart". The Word of the Lord just tells us we've been set apart out of many (6,805,700,000 people in the world according to US Census Bureau) whoever you are, no matter where you're from, whatever your background is, 

You are and will always be HIS! 

And and not just HIS but one that is TREASURED (person greatly valued or highly prized according to Dictionary.com)

When you experience, rejection or the feeling of being unwanted, remember this verse...

You will always have HIM!

Why Am I Not Blessed Yet?

A lot of us get disappointed when our prayers are unanswered.

A lot of us get discouraged when things aren't going the way we want it!

A lot of us then ask, "Where is God when I needed Him most?"

Can you relate? I can.

A lot of times, I asked, "Why Am I Not Blessed Yet?"

The Bible as always has the answer!

James wrote,

2You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. 3When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. [James 4:2-3]

The issue is not whether God wants to bless us or not. In fact, God wants to bless us. That's already a given fact! [Gen. 12:3]

The question we should ask ourselves is "Why are we asking for the things we're asking?"

James clearly said, "we don't receive what we ask because we ask with wrong motives."
"

In Deut. 8:18,

Deuteronomy 8:18 (New King James Version)

18 “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.


Are we so good in asking for anything and when we receive it, do we immediately forget what the blessings are for?

In Deut. 8:18, the Word of the Lord says "He will give us POWER to get wealth!" Did he say for you to go and spend it for your selfish desires? No! He didn't. Instead he said, "That HE can ESTABLISH his covenant!"

Are we glorifying GOD with what we have now? Are we even giving our tithes faithfully? Are we even generous enough to share to the needy and hungry?

Some few things to check before asking today!

And MAY GOD SO RICHLY BLESS YOU!

We'll be at the TOP through Christ

I have posted about not allowing any circumstance to stop us from doing what God wants us to do. I have set the Cebu Inmates (from the Philippines) as an example. They as prisoners as they are have create one of the most viewed Videos from Youtube with more than 23 million views as of this writing. And now they have a new one for us to enjoy. Check it here: CPDRC Inmates Dancing

The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. You will always be at the top, never at the bottom, if you faithfully obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today.
Deut. 28:13

The verse above is a PROMISE by the Lord God himself. As I've always mentioned, this promise will remain to be a promise unless we live it and believe it.

I believed it! In fact, I constantly am declaring it! Yes, Lord! I'll be at the TOP and of course always through Christ Jesus only.

I'd like to testify on the goodness of the Lord as far this site is concern. Just recently, I got PageRank 2 from Google for just 2 months of blogging. I'm not sure if that is something I should be proud of but one thing for sure I am thankful.Thank You Lord!

I want to also thank the Lord for constantly increasing my Alexa Rank day after day. When I joined Alexa, this site was at 6 million ++ rank and now, as of this writing this site is now 347,218. Wow! That means out of million blogs out there, this site is now the 347, 218th site! Still, it's far but I'm still very thankful.

In BlogCatalog, where I am a member I have a rank of 65.6. I'm not sure how they rank sites but I'm still really thankful because this site is above half of all the thousand blogger-members there.

As you can see in the uploaded pic, the site is #2 in Christian Topsites, #2 in Christian Blogs, #1 in TOP.ORG, and #1 in TOP Blogs. That's what "we'll be at the TOP" really means. This is not to boast but this is to praise the Lord even more! I may not stay on those ranks forever, but I praise the Lord for putting me there. It was only through Him and For him alone forevermore!

Why don't you share some good testimonies? How have God been blessing you lately? If you haven't been declaring this promise yet, start now and expect great things to happen in your Life. Not just in the blogging world but most importantly in your own personal life.

We'll be the Head and we'll be at the TOP | CPDRC Inmates dancing Jai Ho

The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. You will always be at the top, never at the bottom, if you faithfully obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today.
Deut. 28:13

I'd like to share a video of CPDRC inmates here in the Philippines dancing to the tune of Jai Ho (soundtrack from Slumdog Millionaire). You may wonder why I'm posting about this. Let me share my point.

These people are inmates, prisoners and convicted of crimes. When I think about them (inmates and prisoners), I can't help but only imagine men with tattoos, men who are always angry with the world and men who seldom smile. (No Offense to them. God Loves them!)

But these Cebu Inmates are sensationally different.

They didn't allow their current situation to stop them from reaching the world and be famous. They didn't allow what other people think of them to dictate what will happen in their lives.

They started dancing to the tune of Michael Jackson's Thriller and their video in Youtube had now reached a total of 23 million views. You can watch it here. It was through this, that they gained popularity.


Right now,they have their newest offering which is their Dancing Video to the tune of Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionaire. This video is one good thing to watch for anybody to be inspired and be encouraged to come out and spread one's true potential. For anyone to keep God's promises and are to not be dictated by people's words and expectations. God has promised we will be the Head and not the Tail. He promised we will be at the TOP not the Bottom. That's our potential! If we don't claim it, it would just pass us by.

Let us be like these prisoners who really confidently came out to show what they can do!
This one's entertaining and worth watching.

The Power to be WEALTHY and RICH!

Deuteronomy 8:18 (New American Standard Bible)
"But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth"

Reflection:

A lot of us are in search on how to make money especially in this time of recession. In fact "Make Money" is one of the most searched keyword in www.google.com with approximately 92 million search results. For some one job is no longer enough, they must try to look for sidelines after shift and sometimes during shift hours just to earn more.

Today, the Word of God says, "It is God who gives us the Power to make wealth". On other versions, it would say, "has given you the power to produce wealth". There's the end point to everyone's quest for more Money: God! He said in his Word [Philippinas 4:19]

"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

I want you to focus on the word "riches". Our God is RICH! He's the richest God in the entire universe! In fact he owns everything! Today he's telling you, "I WANNA SHARE THESE WITH YOU!"

If you say, what's the catch?

Here's the catch: REMEMBER GOD! Remember him not just on Sundays and Prayer Meetings. He's saying Remember him whenever and wherever you are. I've discussed this in detail here: Remember not to Forget. But to summarize everything, let me leave you a Word from Joshua 1:8,

"Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful."

God Bless you more!
