God is always in our situation

2000 years ago, Jesus chose death so that we can choose life today.

When God comes into our situations, everything will turn around and we will enjoy the abundant life that Jesus came to give us.

The Holy Spirit is in us. God is always in our situation. He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to our revelation of His love for us. Whatever we are involved in, He is there. Wherever we are, He is there.

How do we bring God's power to bear on our situation? We need to have our own relationship with God. We need to bring Jesus into our situation on a daily basis. Before Jesus went up to heaven, He sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in us. He is therefore always with us. Ask and you shall receive.

God is Emmanuel - "God with us". When we bring Jesus into our situation, we will get back everything that was taken away from us. When we experience a devastation and bring Jesus into our situation, we do not just get everything back; we also get the spoils.

When we bring Jesus into our situation, He changes things. Let us therefore always enquire of the Lord. Just ask God and He will give us much more.

Jesus, come into my situation. Give me supernatural strength, zoe life and unmerited favour always.

Let us remember what Jesus has already given to us - health and wholeness through the Cross. I take the Word and speak the Word into my situation. Yes, Lord. Your Word, what You have done, is mine. I take it into my situation.

If Christ is in us, the body is dead because of sin but praise God, the spirit is life because of righteousness. We have been made so righteous. The Holy Spirit lives in us.



Let us therefore have the right "default mode" though. Keep our heart with all diligence for out of it springs the issues of life. In all these things, I am more than a conqueror through Him who loves me. I am the beloved. By His stripes, I am healed. What we think, God will exceed it.

Do not let anyone tell us what to do; let us be led by the Holy Spirit.

When we are in a difficult situation, sometimes our practical nature tells us to go in a certain direction but our heart does not feel settled doing that. Also, well-meaning friends and relatives may also offer their "two cents' worth". We may end up feeling confused and lost. Do not lose hope! Let Jesus come into our situation and let Him lead the way. It may or may not end up in the same direction as what our practical mind tells us but be at peace that God loves us and He will do everything in our favour. He will make all things turn for our good.

God works according to the power that is in us. He will give us mighty inner strength through His Holy Spirit. The source of the power in us comes as we experience the love of Christ. It is the power of His love. He loves us so much. God will work according to the power of our revelation of His love for us.

This is the year of the free favours of God. Expect miracles to happen in our lives!

Sometimes when we think that a door has been closed to us due to circumstances, do not lose hope. Bring Jesus into our situation and He will open another door for us. He did not create the difficult circumstance or challenge that we find ourselves in but take heart that He will bring us to victory.

Jesus did not withhold anything. He gave the best part for us. He is always in our situation.

Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us.

The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of the testimony of what the Lord has done for us.
