Generation Impact Ministries: Rejoicing in the valley of " baka".

Rejoicing in the valley of " baka".

Psalms 84:6-7As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs the autumn rains also cover it with pools. They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion"

the valley of "baka" is not a good place....it is a " place of weeping". however the Bible says that " they make it a place of springs". now a place of springs is a place of abundance that makes them go from strengthto strength.

God may take you through a situation of loneliness, hopelessness,despair but God wants you to rejoice in such situations Give God unlimited praise and he will give you unlimited blessings!!! Job said that.... " you give and take away but iwill bless the name of the lord(job 1:21-22). Job blessed the lord amidst his time of adversity. the bible says that Job after praying for His friends was blessed with twice as much as he had lost(job 42:10). beloved the valley of 'baka" is an opportunity to experience God! the Bible says that " your grace is sufficient for me for your power is made perfect in my weakness" (2nd Corinthians 12:9).i believe God remains God in all situations. Habakkuk 3: 17 says that

"Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior".

if you would like to give your life to Christ.....say this simple prayer

Dear Father,

I now believe that Jesus Christ is Your only begotten Son, that He came to our earth in the flesh and died on the cross to take away all of my sins and the sins of this world. I believe that Jesus Christ then rose from the dead on the third day to give all of us eternal life.

Lord Jesus,

I now confess to You all of the wrong and sinful things that I have ever done in my life. I ask that You please forgive me and wash away all of my sins by the blood that You have personally shed for me on the cross. I am now ready to accept You as my personal Lord and Savior. I now ask that You come into my life and live with me for all of eternity.

Father, Jesus – I now believe that I am truly saved and born again.

Thank You Father.
Thank You Jesus.

the will of God

romans12:1-2...i beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God that you present your your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God which is your reasonable service, do not conform to the standards of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, that you may prove what is good and acceptable WILL OF GOD. without knowledge understanding the will of God becomes a mystery , but just like an earthly father knows what is good for their children, God knows what is perfect for me and you, A father will plan for His children well, but God affirms their destiny. the will of God calls us to offer our selves to him as a sacrifice, this can be done by knowing the word of God and what God's promises are to us,we need to align our desires and aspirations into God's word, for example if one is seeking for a life time partner, it takes one to know what God says in the qualities of a good partneaccording to His word, it takes one decision to set a standard that is aligned with what God wants and expects of us. renewing our minds with the word and we shall understand what the will of God is. conforming to the standards of the world will lead us astray and we can always find problems with our lives. let us be wise in all that we do that we may not go against the will of God because God is a father and He knows what is perfect and good for you and me. we can understand the will of God through Him speaking to us by a small still voice, in our conscience, through affirmation, through circumstances and also through people by words of knowledge. in that way, God speaks to us. we have desires ,if we need to know the will of God we need to suit them according to God's standard that we may not conform to the standards of this world, we also need to pray in the spirit to understand the will of God, the bible in the book of Romans 8;26 that we do not know how to pray but the spirit intercedes for us in groans that words cannot express, praying in the spirit enables us to pray according to the will of God. praying in the spirit entails dedicative prayer and also praying in tongues. in this way God'will manifest His will, knowing God's will also calls us to righteousness, God wants us to do what pleases Him and that can't be done without doing what is good. let God help us to understand more about His will.

"I WILL NOT MAKE A SACRIFICE THAT WILL COST ME NOTHING"

1st chronicles 21:24....."i will not take what is yours for the lord, nor burnt offerings that with that which will cost me nothing"....these were the words of David to Ornan who wanted to sell him a threshing floor where he would build an altar for God, David desired God and felt that he would,nt obtain the threshing floor free of charge , because to David God was a tresure and He felt He had to pay a" price" for the setting up the altar, reflecting on our lives, if we need God to use us mightly, we need to pay a price that is worthy, when we need anointing that will keep us on the altar of God, we need to pay a worthy price through prayer, fasting, sleeplessnights of prayer,evangelism, sharing. among others this will qualify us to stay on the altar of God
prayer for today
lord help me offer my body a s aliving sacrifice that i may stay on the altar , because that,s my greater calling, Lord use me as you want in Jesus's name Amen

count your blessings

psalms 103:2 .....bless the lord oh my soul and forget not his benefits....those were the words of a king..David , this was atime he was down cast...much as He had every thing a king would ever admire....he had a emptiness, he must have felt dissapointed but He encouraged himself in those words, you may have been through some hard time and you really dont have a reason to thank God but today learn to count yo blessingz , when you count your blessings one by one, God blesses you more en more , live a life of victory in Jesus Name

prayer for today
lord teach me to count my blessings and thank you for everything because all things work together for my good Amen
