"No One Can Prevent You"

TEXT READING: "Only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive of those men who went to scout out the land." (Numbers 14:38)

he decisions and disobedience of others will not cancel God's will for you. Other people's actions will affect you, but no one can prevent what God wants to do in and through you. Joshua and Caleb trusted God and yet were forced to wander in a wilderness for forty years because of the fear and disbelief of others.

Have you ever felt that someone was thwarting God's will for you? Perhaps someone kept you from getting a job or earning a promotion. Perhaps the government would not approve your application or a committee disagreed with your recommendation. Do you believe that mere man can stop God from accomplishing His purposes in your life?

God did everything He intended to do in the lives of Joshua and Caleb. His primary assignment for them had not been to enter the Promised Land but rather to serve as godly leaders for their people. Joshua and Caleb could not lead the people if they were in the Promised Land by themselves while the people were still wandering in the wilderness! God kept these leaders in a position where they could exert a godly influence upon their nation, and, as a result, they became models of spiritual leadership for generations to come. Even so, God ultimately brought Caleb and Joshua into the Promised Land just as He had said. They had been delayed but not thwarted. Be assured of this: No one can hinder God from carrying out His plans for your life. Once God sets something in motion, no one can stop it (Isa. 46:11). God bless you. Amen!

“God Will Not Forget You”

“Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee” (Isaiah 49:15). G od never becomes preoccupied or neglectful toward one of His children. God said it would be more likely for a nursing mother to forget the infant at her breast than for Him to forget one of His children! The nursing mother has a keen sensitivity to her baby. Even if the infant is in another room the mother's senses are in tune with her child. The mother knows when it is time to feed and care for the child. The mother never becomes so preoccupied with other things that she neglects the needs of her child. It is fitting that God chose this imagery to describe how He looks after His people, for He (God) is more sensitive to the needs of His children than even the most loving mother. He anticipates every cry for help. Even before we can call out in need, God is responding with His answer. The...

"KEEP MOVING FORWARD"

W hether it is convenient with the devil or his agents or not, God will move you forward on every side this month in Jesus name. Delays and stagnation is not your portion. God said through Moses to Israel in Exodus 14, "Tell my people to go forward" Have you tried running forward and looking backward at the same time? It is almost impossible to run effectively forward and look backward at the same time. You might even bump into something that might hurt you along the line. That is how difficult it is for people that are dwelling on their past and expect to move forward. Stop looking at where you have been and start looking at where you can be. You must understand that you can never change the past; you can only work on your future. The devil will make you dwell on your past, so that he can succeed slowing you down. You must understand that we have all made mistakes in the past and we are most likely going to make more without knowing it. Every great man or woman...

I WORK FOR GOD, NOT MAN

"Servants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not only when their eyes are on you as pleasers of men, but in simplicity of purpose [with all your heart] because of your reverence for the Lord and as a sincere expression of your devotion to Him. Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, Knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [and not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [real] reward. [The One Whom] you are actually serving [is] the Lord Christ.” (Colossians 3:22-24) Amplifier This message is a confirmation of what God has kept in the kitty with counsel to create the balance between the life tripod: work, family and you. Sometimes we appear to be burnt out because of pressure, dissatisfaction, chaos and lack of fulfillment. Here is God's counsel concerning you:
