Overcome.

The Sun always outlasts the storm. Storms come and go, but the sun is always shinning. This is a required way
Of thinking in order to live a supernatural life. Difficulties may cause us to fall or stumble, but with God's
help, we shall arise. You might think you are defeated, but you are not. Get up! With God, you can overcome
your difficulties and live the victorious life for which you were created.

Receive Power.

Acts: 1-8.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem,
and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.

Sharing of the word:

God has already given us the power to empower others. He has already put His power within us.
When we receive Jesus as our Savior, confess our sins and acknowledge him as our Savior, the scripture
says, God the Holy Spirit, the triune God, came to live within us. We become His children and His
dwelling place, we become his temple, for you are the temple of the Holy Spirit
God does not live in anything that the hand of sinful man has made but he lives in the building that
He has made - Your Body and My Body. He lives in our Body. And He wants to see through us,
feel through us, bless through us, heal through us and save through us.
He has given us the power to empower others.

Submit.

Genesis:16-9.

Then the angel of the Lord told her, "Go back to your mistress and submit to her .". The angle added, "I will increase your
descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count ."

Sharing of the word:

The angle of the Lord said, "Go back to your mistress and submit to her". This solution nobody wants.
Authority can be wrong but God says, " I will deal with it. You go back, go back, return and submit to Sarah
because your time is not yet".
Hagar called the name of the Lord that spoke to her as, " the God who sees me.". She said, "I have now seen
the One who sees me.". Basically what she is saying is God sees me. You are a God that's alive and
you see me. You are a seeing God. You are a hearing God.
Then her prayers was, "Will I die no, I am not going to die, but may I see the God that sees me, may I also hear the
God that hears me". This is the beauty of it. God you see me but can you please touch my eye so that I can also see you?
God will hear me, you hear my affliction you hear my cry you hear my pain, you hear and you see my misery.
Can I also see you and hear you? This was Hagar's prayer. She did not look for God but he came because he
heard her cries.
Today if you want to see God and hear God pray the way Hagar did and expect to see God move in your lives.

God cares.

Genesis: 16-7-8.

The angle of the Lord found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road in Shur.
And he said, "Hagar, slave of Sarah, where have you come from and where are you going?". I am running away
from my mistress Sarai, she answered.

Sharing of the word:

Wherever we are, the Lord will find us. He knows where we are running to and where we are going. He knows our hurts he knows our pain
and misery, and he pays attention to us when everybody else does not. The God that blessed Sarah is the same God that
came to visit Hagar. Whether you are at the bottom of the ladder or at the top, God sees everyone the same, he doesn't
see whether you are high class or low class.
The angle called Hagar by her name. God knew her by name. He knows your name. He knows who you are and who
you are working for. He said "Hagar, Sarah's maid, where have you come from, and where are you going?
When God throws a question at us it's not that God does not have the answer, He wants us to think. He wants us to ask ourselves
Where am I going? Where am I running from? What wrong have I done? God wants you to ask yourself these questions.
God is not looking for information through these questions. - He is coming with a solution.

Serve.

Mark: 10-51-52.

What do you want me to do for you? Jesus asked him. The blind man said, Rabbi, I want to see.
Go, said Jesus, your faith has healed you. Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along
the road.

Sharing of the word:

We must allow this verse to get into us. Then the Lord will visit us. He is the One who knows our inner being and our human
situation. He knows our pain, disappointment,and feelings. How intimate it is for Him to call us to Himself
and say, " what do you want me to do?". his heart is to serve us. When we allow Him to serve us, He reproduces Himself in us and
makes us the same as He is, not only in life and nature but also in function. He will reproduce His serving heart
and spirit within us so that we can serve Him and serve one another in the God of love.

Discouraged.

John: 20-10-18.

Mary was an outcast in her society because of the type of life she lived and no one loved her because she waa possessed by evil
Spirits. She lost her human dignity and social acceptance. That was the time Jesus Christ met her,showed concern and
delivered her from bondage and gave her human dignity. He was the only hope she had in life.
Christ was all in all to her. When she saw that He was dead and his body was missing, she stood
outside the tomb weeping. She had lost hope, and her future looked uncertain. As she looked into the
empty tomb, perhaps she saw the reflection of her empty life. It was at the dark hour that the risen Saviour met
her. He first called her "woman" and then called her by her name " Mary". The risen Saviour asked her two questions
which were interconnected.

1. Why are you weeping?
2. Whom are you seeking?

She was weeping because she was searching for the dead body. So she was not able to recognize the
living Saviour standing by her side. Often there are similar experiences of searching for the living Saviour
in the empty tomb
Today if you are searching for the Saviour, remember He is near you, calling you, because He loves and
cares for you.

Beware.

Luke: 21-34.

Take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with gluttony and drunkenness
and cares of this life, and that day come upon you unaware.

Sharing of the word:

The Lord is telling us not to be distracted by all that is happening around us. He says to be on
guard on the word gluttony or overeating. The word from the Lord tells us that in the last
days, many will die of starvation, and yet some people will be suffocating themselves with food and
drunkenness. So caught up will they be in the cares of this life, the Day of Judgement will
come upon them unaware. Just like the volcano that bust in Indonesia or the Tsunami in Japan,
there is no indication and no warnings at all. No scientific expert could even predict such a thing
would ever happen. But the word of God told us about all these things and take note that the
wars we see happening today are all usually concerning land.

Dream.

Genesis: 37-9.

Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said, Look, I have dreamed another
dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me.

Sharing of the word:

God will speak this year to many with dreams and visions. It is good. But it all depends on how you see it.
You can see and get angry like Joseph's eleven brothers. Instead of loving Joseph they hated him. So this year
as you see these things, be encouraged.
God wants to enlarge us and increase us. So don't give up, don't stop half way. Pray for God to
take you through.

Flood.

Luke: 17-26-27.

And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man. They ate, they drank,
they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the
flood came and destroyed them all.

Sharing of the word:

What did they do during Noah's time? They ate. Eating is not a sin but here it speaks about gluttony.
They drank. Drinking is good but drunkenness destroys. Marriages took place. Marriages are good,
but multi marriages destroy as well. So God allows things up to a certain limit. They did not listen
to the warning of God until Noah entered into the ark.
And the flood came and destroyed them all. Floods destroy. Floods always speak about demonic
destruction and the over-throwing of foundation - the foundation of a place being over-thrown and new
things springing up.

Judgment.

Revelation: 4-3.

And the one who sat there had the appearance of Jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald
encircled the throne.

Sharing of the word:

God sits on the throne of judgment but above his throne is the rainbow, meaning he is merciful.
Though he may judge, he is merciful. Though he may judge, he is full of grace. Though he may
judge, he is very forgiving and loving. God is reminding us of that. So, in the midst of all the
calamities that you and I see around us, let us lift up our eyes and see the rainbow above.
The Rainbow Promise - God is giving us the promise of his presence.
