Oasis Christian Fellowship is a place where God’s Grace overflow. A place where lives are transformed, reshuffled, restored and rebirth.
Despite everything you are going through today - I am giving you Jesus. John 14:27 says: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. (Psalms 119:90 KJV). He is ever faithful. A man can make a promise today only to wake up tomorrow and change his mind. Our God isn’t like this. Unlike man, God is consistent and one-faced. He’s always true to His words, no matter the circumstance. He is ever faithful; he keeps promises. God is ever faithful. Trust him, and his promises will stand sure on you.
In Psalm 62:5-7, David said this: “I depend on God alone; I put my hope in him. He alone protects and saves me; he is my defender, and I shall never be defeated. My salvation and honor depend on God; he is my strong protector; he is my shelter”.
A lot of people are going to be jealous of your success, too, and they’ll want to attack you for many different reasons. But like David, you need to let God be your protector, your Savior, your defender, your victor, and your shelter.
Let God handle it. Let him be your defense.
How many Christians are actually hearing from God for themselves? How many actually know His voice? This is your season to do something new and elevate your walk with God, capitalize on the moment, don't let it pass you, He is waiting on you to respond, call on Him and he will answer.
Authenticity starts when one becomes aware of their inauthenticity. To be a more authentic person, start with an honest assessment of who you are as a person.
A lot of people are in denial about their weaknesses and tend to push blame on others, while others actually have the opposite problem where they criticize themselves too harshly.
Understanding yourself is key because being authentic means that you are showing others your true character.
It does not matter how weak you are today, He will give you strength in your time of weakness. When you feel like you just cannot endure any longer remember His eyes are on the sparrow....look to Him who is able to keep you from falling. You can do it, you can make it and you must win. Do not look on how big your mountain is but look on how big your God is. He specialises in things that seems impossible so with Him living within you, yes 👏 you can do all things through Him. Just believe.
When it seems like all hope is gone and your back is against the wall just remember that there is a God. When the storm is too much - God is your refuge. When tears are just not enough and it seems like you are about to give up - God is your strength. Anchor your faith in God because He is able to bring you through whatever you are going through. It’s your winning season.
