Precedence


Sisters,

I strongly believe that you are doing very well and that the month of March has been awesome.
Let's get a bit legal, shall we?😁

In law, a precedent is a legal case that establishes a principle or rule.
Hence, in similar cases, the decision of the judge on any case is often swayed in line of the judgment previously given, "the precedence". 
If the common law respects precedence how much more the spiritual....
Precedence is authority backed thus it breeds confidence. Our faith can be fired up if we bear this in mind, because we would be confident that if he did it before, he will do it again. When we are expecting something from God, getting a word from scriptures cannot be overemphasized. There's always a precedence for our request, leverage on it. 
When a lawyer appears in court, he appears making reference to past similar cases and the judgment that were obtained. 
To get results and be effective in prayers, we must understand what the bible says concerning any situation that we go through. 
Are you scared that your sins are too many and beyond redemption? Fear no more, there's a precedence in your favour. Saul (Paul), David, Peter,...sinned too, they were forgiven and given a fresh start so would you if you let God.
Is it a child you want? Abraham and Sarah set a precedence on that.. against all odds (natural and biological) they carried their child - Isaac.
Career excellence? Daniel had it. Walking to fulfil purpose in the midst of uncertainties? Joseph triumphed. 
With God's word being the precedence, every and any negative speaker over your life is a late comer. As precedence is not a matter for debate or subject to convenience. 

May everything mocking the presence of the living God in your life be disgraced. in Jesus Name.  Amen

Loads of love,

Your Sis

As They Went

  Dear Beautiful One, I trust that you are well and that this post meets you in great spirits.  Some time ago, I had a task at work that seemed very convoluted. I wasn't quite sure how to go about it, but as I started, it became clearer what I needed to do and how I needed to go about it. I have come to  realise  that one of the most significant milestones one could ever deal with is starting and because the enemy knows this, he tries to keep us from starting. Keeps us from starting to obey God or cultivating the right attitude or association.    This and other similar occurrences made me begin meditating on the power of starting.  Often  we are faced with so many undaunted decisions and uncertainties and get conflicted about the aftermath of a decision even before we begin. Frankly, we will never know what lies ahead if we never start.  So  the best way to know what lies ahead is to start. Start from where you are. Clarity comes from doing. My pastor usually buttresses this point

DEALING WITH NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

Dear Sisters, I trust God that you and yours are doing well.  Before now, I would b ea t myself up each time a negative thought crosses my mind. This led me to do a lot of meditation on the power of thoughts and how to take charge of them. Of the many things I have now come to understand is that: negative thoughts in themselves are not bad. I know that sounds weird but stay with me, let me explain myself. Allowing these thoughts to remain and control us is where the issue lies.  It reminds me of the analogy of temptation versus sin. It is okay to be tempted, but it is not okay to sin.  When I was meditating on this, I read a devotional that week that reiterated that dwelling on bad thoughts is what causes  believers to fall. For the purpose of context, not all negative thoughts are 'fornication' or 'adultery' related; sometimes, it is not doing the will of the Father. Peter is a good example here when he said Christ would not wash his feet (John 13:8) and when he reprim

Purposefully Marching Forward

  Dear Sisters,  Happy New Month! Welcome to March,  the month  where God is moving us  further  in purpose.   I trust that you and yours are doing well and keeping safe. It ' s so good to be on here.    I was studying the ministry of Elisha recently ,  and  I  took not e  of  his dimension of impact.  What a man! He carried  a  double portion of Elijah ' s anointing ,  and Elijah was not small in any   way.  While Elijah and Elisha were very similar, they were distinct in their  purpose  and those they were sent to,  nothwithstanding  the measure of anointing .    Most of Elijah ' s miracles were inclined to life and death. On the other hand, most of Elisha ' s miracles were restoration  based like  healing  people and nations .   Therefore, it can be said that Elisha was a prophet of grace while Elijah was a prophet of judgment. Elijah gave testimonies  against men's sin and evil, while Elisha's testimonies were inclined for  salvation and preach God ' s m
