It is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work” And it is I WHO HAVE CREATED THE DESTROYER TO WORK HAVOC; no weapon formed against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from Me,” Declares the LORD.
Isaiah 54:16-17

The children of GOD have been baptized with power from on high [Holy Spirit power] to overcome the onslaughts of the evil one. God allows him to work havoc in our lives for one reason only: to bring His children to maturity in Him. Every time we face a trial and overcome it by standing in faith on the promises of GOD, we reach a higher level of maturity.

GOD has called us to wear the full armour of GOD and to fight the good fight of faith. Sometimes we get wounded or weary in the battle, but He is always there to bring healing and strength for the next battle we’re going to fight. Furthermore, He prepares a table for us in the middle of the battle ground. That is where we feast on His Word and receive the fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit to continue the fight.

GOD has promised that no weapon formed against us will prevail. No matter how many burning arrows [fiery darts] the enemy shoots at us, our breastplates of righteousness are impenetrable and our shields of faith will ward them off. As for wagging tongues who judge, gossip, and accuse us falsely; we will prove them to be lying weapons of the enemy, sent to harm us. GOD said that this is our heritage and our vindication from Him.

God never promised that our walk with Him would be easy, but the rewards far outweigh the discomfort.

True worship is about realizing and recognizing what GOD has done for us and giving Him thanks even before the manifestation of these things. GOD has already supplied everything we’ll ever need in life, according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus and is waiting to see how we’ll respond. Faith is a positive response to what Grace has already done for us.
Fasting for it, continuously asking for it in prayer, or trying to get GOD to do it, won’t work, just as worshiping in order to receive our needs or desires, won’t work.
We need to see what GOD has done through eyes of faith, that is, believing that which we do not see.
Let us praise and worship Him with thankful hearts, knowing that all of His promises are true.
Be in awe of Almighty GOD, our Everlasting Father, for His finished work.
This is the highest form of faith.

How many moments do you waste on things that reduce your quality of life; things that steal, kill and destroy your peace, your joy and even your health?
Every moment GOD is consumed with loving thoughts of you.
How many moments do you spend in loving thoughts of HIM?
How many moments do you spend in meditation regarding HIS will in your life? How many moments do you spend in sincere prayers of thanksgiving for all the blessings that you have received, or in worship before HIS throne of grace?

Allow GOD to be your guide, your protector, Your physician, your financial adviser and, most importantly, your beloved.There are treasures beyond compare in GOD’S Word. Search the Scriptures daily so that you might obtain wisdom in all that you do.
Remember that moments wasted in running after things that cannot satisfy can never be recaptured.
Spend your moments wisely.

The cloud of Glory hangs above
Suspended by God’s awesome love
Like diamonds, silver droplets shine
Within the cloud through love divine

Each droplet is a gift unique
Of blessings from the mercy seat
Lift up your hands and you’ll receive
A blessing, if you just believe

This cloud will never go away
Above the temple it will stay
Just as the fire burns within
Its glory never growing dim

A Dove once saved some soldiers
Surrounded by their foe
During a bloody battle
Many years ago

It was a soldier’s mascot
And it was their last hope
Of fetching re-enforcements
By delivering their note

The little dove flew bravely
Though wounded in it’s flight
With broken leg and crippled wing
Continued in its plight

At last, mortally wounded
It reached its journey’s end
And in its death saved many lives
This worthy little friend

The dove reminds me of Christ Jesus
Who left His Heavenly throne
Our lives were in His hands
He had to take the message Home

Though hacked and bruised and bleeding
And nailed upon a tree
Mortally wounded for our sins
He died to set us free

His message was delivered
I’ve paid the price of sin
My blood has washed man white as snow
Death has no hold on him

We need the holy wind of God
This rushing, mighty wind
Breathing Spirit life in us
Healing us within

We are sustained by Spirit wind
The Breath of Life supreme
Who raises, heals and sets us free
To worship God, our king

As the heavens are high above the earth
So great is God’s mercy toward those who fear Him
And as far as the east is from the west
So far has the Lord cast away all our transgression

As fathers show kindness toward their children
The Lord has compassion on all those who fear Him
He remembers that we are subject to time
For He knows we are dust, He remembers our origin

Our days are like grass, as a flower of the field
So we’re born and we flourish and then we are gone
Like a fragile flower in the force of the wind
And by many we’re forgotten before too long

But the mercy of the Lord endures forever
Toward all of His people who fear His Name
And His justice toward all our descendants
The children of the Covenant living in His reign

The Lord has established His throne in Heaven
And His Kingdom rules over all of His dominion
Bless the Lord all angels who do the Lord’s will
Bless the Lord all you hosts, in perfect unison

Is anything too hard for God
One thing He cannot do
Is anything beyond His power
He makes all things anew

No demon power can conquer Him
They tried on Calvary
But they just couldn’t keep Him down
He rose in victory

There’s none can pluck you from His hand
Once He has set you free
None of His children are cast out
He paid the price, you see

Just give Him all the love you can
He’s given all for you
In Him you’ll go from strength to strength
In everything you do

God made you unique, there’s no-one like you
Carbon copies are worthless, He makes all things new
An original painting’s worth many a Rand
But a copy is cheap, though it might look grand

Though jewelry might look when viewed from afar
Imitation looks gaudy, the nearer you are
And even a copy resembling pure gold
Will gradually tarnish and look cheap and old

So if you are teak, designed for a door
Be happy in that, don’t try being a floor
And if you’re a candlestick made out of glass
It just wouldn’t do if you tried to be brass

If all that surrounds you were one shade of green
No more colors existed, how dull life would seem
If only one sound could be heard on this Earth
How empty we’d be and how much we would miss

If all that you tasted, though healthy and good
Had the same kind of flavour, how mundane the food
Don’t imitate others, be yourself every day
Be original always, God made you that way
