Since last week, this phrase has been coming to me, 'Cast your cares upon the Lord for He cares for you'. I will encourage you to trust in the Lord even when situations looks impossible because with God all things are possible. I leave you with Zechariah 4:6-7 NLT.
This is what the Lord says to Zerubbabel; It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord. Nothing, not even a mighty mountain, will stand in Zerubbabel's way; it will flatten out before him.
Best.

God's plan for your children is wholeness
I will encourage you to pray more for your children particularly that they will enter God’s plan for their lives and for God’s grace to abound in their lives. We know that His plans are perfect because He knows the thoughts and the plans He has for their lives, they are great plans, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and hope.(Jeremiah 29:11).
I believe we need to pray more for them so that the grace of God will abound in their lives to be who God has called them to be and to walk in His ways. As the grace of God abounds in their lives, it will bring salvation to them, it will teach them to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in their generation. I leave you with this passage in Titus 2:11 -12
‘For the grace of God (His unmerited favor and blessing) has come forward (appeared) for the deliverance from sin and the eternal salvation for all mankind. It has trained us to reject and renounce all ungodliness and worldly (passionate) desires, to live discreet (temperate, self-controlled), upright, devout (spiritually whole) lives in this present world. (Amplified
Blessings

Do you want to run and not be tired?
Hi All,
I hope you've had a good weekend? This weekend has been a bit busy for me and it went by really fast. If you want to run and not be weary, you have to wait on the Lord. Waiting on the Lord means staying in His presence and meditating on His word. We have to wait on Him to walk in His grace. Going forward is all about relying on the Lord and not our effort. Grace will only abound in our lives as we wait upon Him for those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles and walk and not faint. I leave you with Isaiah 40:28-31 (Amplified Bible)
"Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary; there is no searching of His understanding. He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength [causing it to multiply and making it to abound].
Even youths shall faint and be weary, and [selected] young men shall feebly stumble and fall exhausted. But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired".
Have a fantastic week in His presence.

Not by your might or effort
Happy New Year! It's great to be in 2011, it's the beginning of a new year and a new decade. As you enter this decade, make up your mind not to rely only on your effort to get things done. The greatest hindrance to God working in your life is self effort. I am not saying that you will do anything or work but I am encouraging you to rely more on God. In Zechariah chapter 4: 6-7, we read of what God is saying to us in this new decade. It is not my might or power; it's not by your effort but by His Spirit and grace that you will accomplish the task.
I've been praying for myself that God's grace will abound in my life this new year and decade. Sometimes, we rely so much on our connections, efforts, education and other things. As much as those things are good, we need to now rely more on God. Psalm 127:1 says that unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labour in vain’. We have to rely more of God this year to see the harvest that is ready. We can only do this by yielding to the Holy Spirit. He is our Helper and He is got the power to transform lives. If you are in the business of transforming lives, you can't afford not to walk in the Spirit or follow His will. I leave you with these words in Colossians 1:9:
"For this reason we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray and make [[a]special] request for you, [asking] that you may be filled with the [b]full (deep and clear) knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [[c]in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God] and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things". Amplified
By the way, the earlier you accept God's plan for your life, the better it will be for you and those around you. Pray that God's plan will be established in the life of your associates as well because their disobedience can affect you.
Blessings,
Dupe

Keep on praying
As we come to the end of 2010 and move into 2011, I have been reflecting on how this year has been for me. The beginning was full of challenges, I faced things that have I never dealt with before but through it all, I can say that God brought me through the heavy waters that wanted to drown me and the fire that wanted to burn me. How did I come through it? It was because I did not give up in prayers.
I've concluded that God is not interested in holding us back or keeping things from us. How can someone who paid a great price to give us abundant life hold us from enjoying that life; a life where nothing is missing or broken? There is also an enemy whose aim is to kill, steal and destroy but God's plan is to give you life if you are in Christ Jesus. For God so loved the world that He gave His only son so that whosoever will believe in Him will not perish but have eternal life. Please consider giving your life to Jesus if you haven't, He is the source of life; there is no true life anywhere but in Christ Jesus.
As you enter 2011, I encourage you not to give up in prayer because:
'The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available (dynamic in its working)’. James 5:16b
With God all things are possible.
Wishing you God's best for 2011.
With love,
Dupe

Help give a child a better future
Since 2004, God's Grace Foundation (GGF) has been making a difference and giving children a better future by awarding scholarships to less privileged children. This has been made possible with the generous support of our partners and sponsors. You can watch videos clips showing the impact of our sponsorship program at www.youtube.com/godsgracefoundation.
In 2000, the ILO [International Labour Organization] estimated that 211 million children aged 5 to 14 were working. Of these children, approximately 111 million children were working full time and did not attend school. The other 100 million children of the same age group combined work and school. Poverty is commonly the primary determinant of a child's participation in work and reason for dropping out of school.
There is great need for educational sponsorship in Nigeria and every term we hear of more children dropping out of school because of the loss of a parent or due to financial hardship. I also met lots of children who are going hungry, sick, prone to abuse and without education during my trip to Nigeria last year. Investing in children's education yields great benefits for both the individual child and society as a whole.
Our goal this year is to raise £10,000 so that we can give 40 children full scholarship in September 2009. GGF sponsorship does not only focus on education but on the total wellbeing of the children. As well as paying for tuition, school books and uniform, we provide lunch (term time only) for our sponsored children, mentoring by a support worker, and termly meetings between the child’s support worker and the child’s guardians and also with their teachers.
Please join us on Saturday, 8th August 2009 (we will start the walk in Woolwich at 10am). We have a very scenic route mapped out with lots of interesting sights on the way and we will be finished by 1pm.
To register, we would be grateful for a donation of £10, every walker will receive a sponsored walk pack to help them raise funds, a t-shirt and a bottle of water. We will also provide light refreshments at Greenwich Park after the walk. To register for the walk, please contact me on 07859 057770 or email info@godsgracefoundation.org.
If, for whatever reason, you are unable to join us we would be grateful for your pledge to give whatever you can in support of the walk and work.
God bless you as help give a child a better future.
