STRENGTH TO MOVE FORWARD

 "So he answered and said to me: 'This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts." Zechariah 4:6 (NKJV)


This scripture was given to encourage Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, who was leading the rebuilding of the temple after years of exile. The task was huge, opposition was intense, and human strength seemed too small to handle the work. God reminded him that success would not come from human strength, resources, or ability—but from the Spirit of God.

As we step into this new month of September—the last quarter of the year—you may feel the pressure of time running out. You might be thinking about what you have achieved since January and what is still left undone.

Some of you have not finished what you started. Some have not even started at all because of many challenges. Others have been blessed and are doing well with their plans. But no matter your condition, the word of God says, “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit.” It is God who gives us the strength to achieve our goals.

You may be like Zerubbabel—facing a mountain of challenges. You had plans and targets for this year, but things have not gone as expected. Maybe you even gave up and lost your sense of purpose. But as you enter this new month, God is ready to give you strength to move forward.

Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV) says, “But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.”

If you have not started yet; It is not too late to start, Start with the little you have. Heaven will support your obedience. God will guide you and empower you because It is not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts." 

Prayer: Lord, fill me with Your Spirit and strength to move forward in faith. Amen

THE TIME TO RECEIVE THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOUR IS NOW

  “Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, For they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Isaiah 3:10 NKJV This is a powerful word of hope as you begin this month.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
