Here for a Reason ( by Fenny West)

 

Here for a Reason

Here for a Reason
And for a season.
Here to learn to rule, 
And to learn to reign.

Here to be prepared
For eternity.
Here to be positioned-
Strategically placed.

Here to learn dominion, 
Learn how to subdue;
Walk in the Master’s footsteps. 
For as He is, so we are. 

Here to represent Him
As His ambassadors. 
Here to be His hand and feet. 
Here to be His Voice on earth. 

Here to shine as light of the world, 
Elevated as city on a hill
And salt of the earth, 
Blessed to be a blessing. 

Here as His instruments peace, 
Reconciling man to God. 
Here as co-worker with Him, 
His able ministers, epistles of Christ. 

Here to show forth His praise
As His handiwork and His garden. 
Here as those created for good works
Foreordained before the world began. 

Here to be fruitful and multiply, 
Be doers of the Word-not just hearers. 
Here to subdue nations, 
Teaching and making disciples. 

 

 

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.Matt28:18-20

17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)Rom5:21

10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.Eph2:10

Grace of God Sufficient ( by Fenny West)

Grace of God Sufficient

The Grace of God Sufficient, 

Very able in every situation. 

It is very super-abundant, 

Regardless of your station. 

It goes to the lowest valley, 

To lift  you to the highest mountain. 

It guarantees your reign and victory, 

As you daily drink from His fountain. 

The Grace of God is immeasurable, 

Locating you wherever you are. 

It makes all things possible, 

No matter how hopeless or how far. 

It takes you from glory to glory, 

And makes you a wonder; an enigma. 

It changes your playing field; your story. 

And you keep going stronger and stronger. 

God’s grace is always ever sufficient 

To put you ahead; and put you over.

It will go to any depth, height breadth or length, 

Regardless of the obstacles or weather. 

 

The grace of God is sufficient for me and for You.  

Noah found grace 

Moses found grace

 Paul found grace 

Timothy found grace 

You too will find grace

Noah Found Grace

Genesis 6

8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

Moses Found Grace

Exodus 33

12 Then Moses said to the LORD, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’

13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.”

16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.”

17 So the LORD said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.”

Exodus 34

9 Then he said, “If now I have found grace in Your sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray, go among us, even though we are a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance.”

Ephe2 :8

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

Paul Found Grace

8 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, Eph3:8

Timothy Found Grace

2 Timothy 2

1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 4

16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Gal2:21 21        I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”

There is a Grace for Giving

2 Corinthians 8: Excel in Giving

1     Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia:

2     that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded in the riches of their liberality.

3     For I bear witness that according to their ability, yes, and beyond their ability, they were freely willing,

4     imploring us with much urgency that we would receive the gift and the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.

5     And not only as we had hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God.

6     So we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also complete this grace in you as well.

7     But as you abound in everything — in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us — see that you abound in this grace also.

Christ Our Pattern

8     I speak not by commandment, but I am testing the sincerity of your love by the diligence of others.

9     For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

10                                   And in this I give advice: It is to your advantage not

You too will find Grace

Let’s Go to the Other side ( by Fenny West)

Let’s Go to the Other Side

“Let’s Go to the Other Side,”
Was the Word of the Master.
So no matter what betide
Know you will surely cross over.

Be not moved by the storm
Nor by the boisterous wind
Speak the Word and there’ll be a great calm.
Look ahead always and not behind.

“Forget the former things.
Behold I will do a New Thing -rivers …”

You’ve come too far to quit.
No need to wake up the Master
He gave you authority. Use it.
Exercise dominion. You’re not a begger.

Use what you’ve got against “Goliath of Gath”
Run to him with your ‘sling and stone.’
The Holy Spirit is your strength.
Know, undoubtedly you’re not alone.

“Let’s Go to the Other Side”
Remember this always.
God’s word does not fall wayside.
Wage war with His Word always.

God is not a man to lie.
His word will come to pass
On His Word you can rely
Remember:”And it came to pass.”

Just work His Word in your walk.
Work His Word in your talk.
Work His Word in your in all you do.
And you will come to the other side: in your relationships, in your finance, in your family, in your career, in your business, in your purpose, in your dream, & in your assignment.
“Let’s go to the other side”
   1 “Then they came to the other side of the sea , to the country of the Gadarenes. “
Mark5:1
What Word have you received that has been held in abeyance?
What Word is seems delayed?

The Just Live by Faith  2 Then the Lord answered me and said;  “Write the vision  And make it plain on tablets , That He may run who reads it.

    “Let’s Go to the Other side.” 3″ For the vision is yet for an appointed time;  But at the end it will speak , and it will not lie.  Though it tarries , wait for it;  Because it will surely come , It will not tarry.” Hab2:2-3   27 Why do you say , O Jacob , And speak , O Israel:  “My way is hidden from the Lord , And my just claim is passed over by my God”?    28 Have you not known?  Have you not heard?  The everlasting God , the Lord , The Creator of the ends of the earth , Neither faints nor is weary.  His understanding is unsearchable.    29 He gives power to the weak , And to those who have no might He increases strength.    30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary , And the young men shall utterly fall ,   31 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.  Isa40:28-31
    Let’s God to the other side
    It’s time to shift:
    from low living to high living;
    ‘SEE’ it before you see it; shift what you are saying

https://youtu.be/mZwwqxPI1lg

    Man demon possessed woman with the issue of blood
    Jairus’ daughter
    What other side? The you that have not yet tapped into.
    The you foreordained before you were born.
    Let Us Pass Over To The Other Side

See, I have Give You Jericho ( by Fenny West)

See, I have given You Jericho ( Prophetic)

 

See, I have given Jericho into your hands

It’s yours despite the high walls the fortress or the bulwark that you see

Just follow the seemingly ridiculous instructions

And you will have a miraculous manifestation.

See I have given Jericho into your hands

Believe it, confess it, conceive it;

Rise and go for it and you will have it .

There are more with you than are against you  

If God be for you, who can be against you?

Is there anything too hard for me?

Have I not commanded you?

Be strong and be of a good courage.

For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

The battle is not your s but mine.

But you have to go against them.

That is your part to play.

Pay the price and you will have the prize.

Refuse to be intimidated by the giants

Don’t look at their faces

Set your face like a flint, like Jesus,

when He set He set His face like a flint towards Jerusalem.

 Set your face like flint like Jeremiah,

When he refuse to budge in the face of opposition.

Be bold like David who ran towards Goliath with his sling and stone- his God given talent and equipment.

You also have something your hands and in your house and deposited in you.

Use what I have given you, because it is sufficient to bring down the Goliath that you see.

Like David, pursue, overtake and you will doubtless recover all.

Like the four lepers, advance into the territory that seems a waterloo. You will not die but live to declare the praise and glory of God. Arise and go into the city and you will find bread.

Esther was bold to approach the King for the lives of her people. She risked her life and God granted her favour with the King who extended the sceptre of deliverance to her.

Step out in faith and you will not be denied. The just shall live by faith.

Like Paul, forget the past disappointments and reach forth to that which is ahead.

Press on for the mark of the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus and the trophy will be yours. Press on for what is ahead- the Promised Land.

See, I have given you Jericho.

Lying Vanities are Not Realities ( by Fenny West)

Lying Vanities are Not Realities

Lying vanities are not realities.
They come from the pit of hell.
They are Satan’s impurities-‘sand in your garri.”
They come to cast a spell; curtail, circumvent and curtail and curb your victory.

Lying vanities raise proud arguments against the revealed will of God. They instigate and inspire doubts and unbelief. They are shot as arrows to  sow sorrow and keep you from entering your Promised Land; the best of the land, like Goshen.
They are like a little leaven that leavens the whole lump. They are poisons concocted in Satan’s

6              Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 1Cor5:6

Soup Kitchen. Run a mile from them.
If you give lying vanities an inch they take a mile. It should not be a question of eating with them with a “long spoon.” Do not eat with them at all. What fellowship has light with darkness.
If you admit lying vanities, your will forsake your mercy. And that is a no-brainer.
Why do you want to do that?
Flee every appearance of the devil.. We are not ignorant of his devices. He has one job description: to kill your vision, steal your joy and your inheritance and destroy your hope, faith, future and life.
Give him no room; no opportunity; no bridgehead; no lee way; no chance, no accommodation. Frustrate him. Suffocate him. Arrest him. Run him out of town. He is masquerading. Remove the front and camouflage. I say unmask him, else he will bewitch you, deceive, capture  and   imprison you.
Lying vanities interpret scripture according to the carnal mind-the five senses.
But you know the carnal mind is enmity to God.

Walk by faith and not by sight and you will not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
The just shall live by faith. Ro1:17, Hab2:4, 
Without faith it is impossible to please God. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence  of things not seen. Faith without works is dead. Whoever is born of God overcomes this world ;and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even your faith. Have the God-kind of faith.
6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way , “Do not say in your heart , ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is , to bring Christ down from above) 
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you , in your mouth and in your heart” (that is , the word of faith which we preach): 
Ro10:6,8
  2 “Vanity of vanities , ” says the Preacher;  “Vanity of vanities , all is vanity.” 
Eccl1:2
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. 
Jonah2:8

Avoid lying vanities. 
Hear, Observe and do the Word. The Word of God is the truth and the will of God. Your body can lie to you when it is contrary to the word of God. People can lie to you when they say things they see about you that is contrary to what God’s word says about you. Your bank account can lie to you when it focuses on what you have in your account.
Lying vanities will say you are sick but the truth says 
But what does the word and the truth say?

24            And the inhabitant will not say, “I am sick”; The people who dwell in it will be forgiven their iniquity. Isa33:24

 By His stripes you were healed. By His stripes I was healed. He sent His word to heal you. ‘He sent His word to heal me.’ Ps107:20
Lying vanity will say you are poor. But what does the Word and the truth say?
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ , that though He was rich , yet for your sakes He became poor , that you through His poverty might become rich.
2Cor8:9
Whose report will you believe?
Lying vanities focus on the fact, the temporal, the seen. Faith focuses on Eternal verities-the truth-what God says: “I am Your healer.” I am your provider. All things are yours. You are blessed with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places. You are blessed with the blessing of Abraham. You are the seed of Abraham. You are blessed in the city and in the country-side-wherever you go. You are blessed to be a blessing to God, your community and humanity.
So lay lying vanities aside and cling and cleave to the truth.  Say what God said. Cast not away your confidence.
18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2Cor4:18
2 looking unto Jesus , the author and finisher of our faith , who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross , despising the shame , and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Heb12:2
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. 
Jonah 2:8

7     Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.

8     This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Josh1:7-8

3     If the clouds are full of rain, They empty themselves upon the earth; And if a tree falls to the south or the north, In the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie.

4     He who observes the wind will not sow, And he who regards the clouds will not reap.

Eccl11:3-4

The ten spies focused on lying vanities: “What they saw, what they heard and what they felt.” And the lost their destinies. They focused on the giants and forfeited the Promised Land.

27   Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.

28            Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there.

31   But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.”

32   And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature.

33   There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”

Num13:27-28

Numbers 14: Israel Refuses to Enter Canaan

1     So all the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night.

2     And all the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we had died in this wilderness!

3              Why has the LORD brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?” Num14:1-3

Joshua and Caleb on the other hand, focused on what God said, and they entered the Promised Land-defeating the giants and every obstacle.

30            Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”Num13:30

6     But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes;

7     and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land.

8     If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’

9     Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them.”

Num14:6-9
They kept saying: “For He had said… so that we can boldly say…”

Joshua kept what God had said in his heart and kept encouraging himself with it regarless of the passage of time until it came to pass.

Caleb Inherits Hebron

6     Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him: “You know the word which the LORD said to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh Barnea.

7     I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart.

8     Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the LORD my God.

9     So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children’s forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.’

10   And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old.

11   As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in.

12   Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the LORD said.”

13   And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as an inheritance.

14   Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel. Josh14:6-14

He refused lying vanities and so must you. Be not snared by the words of your mouth. Prov6:2

Speak the word of God to your self: 5     Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance. 11     Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God. Ps42:5,11

Ps27:13b I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.

Ps118:17 17    I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of the LORD.

Deut33:25b As your days, so shall your strength be. As my days so shall my strength be.

Deuteronomy 34

7 Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished.

So hold on to God’s eternal verities and realities and ditch Satan’s lies and lying vanities.
