All I see is God’s faithfulness.

 

“Great are the works of the Lord;

they are pondered by all who delight in them.”

Psalm 111:2

 

In a year when it seemed like nothing could happen God did the impossible and brought 

to reality a dream and desire I had been holding on to for seven years. 

He is faithful.

2020: Unfazed – Part 1

I think you can agree with me that this has been a crazy year. It’s been intense, difficult, challenging,

hectic and so much more. But in the midst of the craziness, something beautiful has been emphasized

and that beautiful thing is JESUS.

His grace, power, goodness, and faithfulness have shone through the darkness and if He wasn’t with

me in this season I can confidently say I wouldn’t be here today. It’s only by His grace that I have got so

far.

 

So in this new series simply titled “2020” I take some time to stop and look back at all the amazing things

God has done in the hope to encourage you because as 2021 fast approaches we need to go into it full

of hope, and full of faith.

And we do that by remembering His blessings and how good He has been to us.

 

We also need to settle something in our hearts,

There is nothing that can faze the Lord

There is nothing that can catch Him by surprise and

There is nothing that can limit Him

 

No matter what the enemy throws His way, it is nothing to Him.

So as Covid-19 has wrecked havoc in the world we need to know and be reminded that

God is stronger and greater than Covid-19. He is not limited by it and it hasn’t cast a spanner

in His plans. God is working more in this time and His plans for us are very much alive in this

crazy season and even though we may have no idea what’s in store next year we know that God

is with us and is protecting us and watching over us.

 

No weapon formed against us will prosper. 

 

As I conclude I want to encourage you to not limit the Lord today. Keep dreaming, keep praying

and keep taking steps of faith in all that He has shown you. Don’t let the circumstances we are in

stop you from moving. Don’t let what’s happening in the world fill you with fear.

Be expectant for what God has in store for you. Look forward in hope because God is faithful.

Bring your fears, worries and anxieties for 2021 to Him.

He is your strong tower of refuge!

 

Blessings to you friends!

What do you have faith for today?

More than ever we need to walk by faith. And as we come to the end of 2020 and enter 2021

I believe God has amazing plans and new things in store for us but we can only receive those

things by faith. We are not going to achieve God’s plans for our lives by our flesh. The only way we are

going to do it is by faith.

 

But our faith is under attack. The enemy doesn’t want us to walk by faith. He wants us to be in fear, anxiety, 

doubt and so many other things. And with that I want to touch on two things that can stop us from 

walking by faith. 

 

1. Make sure you don’t let someone else’s lack of faith determine your faith.  

There is so much negativity around us. So many people are negative because of the things that are happening 

but if you are going to walk by faith you need to be careful who and what you are listening to, and what you are

watching. 

There are a lot of things in the world if accepted that can hurt your faith. 

 

A perfect example of this is found in the story of the Israelites when they were at the door of the promise

land.  They sent out twelve spies who went to spy out the land. When they came back only two people, 

Joshua and Caleb were fully convinced God had given the enemy over to them. They were ready to go 

claim what God promised them but the other ten spies saw things very differently. They were fearful, 

and they doubted God and because of their lack of faith they influenced an entire nation to reject what 

God promised them! That is a sobering thought. 

How different it would have been if they listened to Joshua and Caleb. 

 

What narrative are you following? 

The world has a narrative it wants you to follow that is contrary to the narrative God has. 

The only narrative you should be following is what God has told you and shown you in His Word 

and times you have spent with Him in prayer. 

 

       2. For faith to work make sure you are looking at what God has and what He can do instead of

looking at what man has. If you base your faith on what man has, you will limit yourself and your faith. 

 

God is the One you should be looking to always. He has everything you need. 

He sees the whole picture and knows what is best for you. Resolve in your hearts to look to Him 

more as you enter 2021. 

 

God has amazing things in store for you. 

It’s time to crank up your faith dial to a hundred and you do that by getting into His word and by spending 

more time with Him. He wants to give you everything He has prepared for you so get rid of the things 

that are stopping you from trusting Him fully. It’s not going to be easy but the journey is worth it. 

Keep trusting Him always!

What is my food?

“Meanwhile His disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing

about.”

John 4:31, 32

 

Jesus knew why He was on earth. He knew His purpose and that dictated what He did. 

 

Thinking about it more, Jesus could have told the crowd to wait while He ate something

but His “food” was more important than eating at that moment. He understood His “food” 

had eternal consequences and would change people’s lives forever. 

 

There are so many times in my life when I have put making a living and surviving before

my “food” but the truth of the matter is that God has given us a purpose and a mission on 

this earth. He has promised to provide for our needs but how hard it is to balance the two! 

 

Do you know what your “food” is? 

If you don’t, ask the Lord to show you. Ask Him to reveal to you what your purpose is. 

He is not trying to hide it from you but He wants you to discover the amazing things He has 

in store. 

 

The world we live in is getting crazier and crazier and people need the truth. The “food” we have 

been given will bring light into a world that desperately needs it. 

So what is your “food”?

 

Bless you friends

Patiently endure.

God will accomplish and bring to pass what He has promised but in the meantime we

need to patiently endure. 

 

As the Israelites travelled through the desert, the Lord promised them a land flowing 

with milk and honey. He would stay true to what He promised them and get them there 

but they needed to be patient and they needed to endure but that didn’t happen. Let’s 

read what happened to them; 

 

“And they journeyed from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of 

Edom, and the people became impatient (depressed, much discouraged) because [of the trials]

of the way. 

Numbers 21:3, 4

 

And as we know they failed to possess the Promise Land because they doubted the Lord. They didn’t 

hold on to His promises when things were hard and disqualified themselves. Waiting on God’s 

promises takes courage. 

If you are in that space of feeling overwhelmed, depressed and discouraged then I want to urge you 

to keep holding onto faith. The Lord is Faithful and True and will not let you down. 

 

“So now wrap your heart tightly around the hope that lives within us, knowing that God always

keeps His promises.”

Hebrews 10:23 TPT

 

God ALWAYS keeps His promises. 

 

As I close I want to encourage you to never give up. The Lord cares about you and the things that 

are on your heart. Bring Him your worries and concerns consistently. 

And be courageous and patiently endure with the understanding that He always keeps His promises 

to you. 

 

“This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep His commands

and remain faithful to Jesus.”

Revelation 14:12

 

Blessings to you friends
