Rewards of Work

 

COTTAGE : COMFORT ROOM

From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things 

as surely as the work of his hands rewards him. 

PROVERBS 12 : 14

God repays in accordance to what you have done. Whatever you do merits a sure reward in accordance with the intent of your heart. There is a tiny whisper in your ears that says "this is Christian karma. Whatever you do, will eventually return back to you."

Today, the Lord brings you to a deeper understanding of being rewarded. Put God first in all of your decisions. Do this and your rewards in the works that the Lord gives to you shall be great!

Love for the Lord is your top priority. Nothing should hinder your love for God such as your family, work, and day to day activities. All your words and works must be centered on your love for the Lord. Each moment of your life, strive to be worthy of God, following and obeying Him unconditionally, and surrendering your faith and well-being to Him.

Had not the Lord been with you, you have been swallowed up alive by your enemies. Had not the Lord been with you, you may have been swept by the raging and overwhelmings tides of times and storms of life. In all of these mishaps and unfortunate events, the Lord rescued you and protected you so that you may live a life of peace, prosperity, and utmost comfort. 

The type or kind of leadership the the Lord expects from you is a leadership that is centered on putting God first above all your relationships, works, activities, and undertakings. A kind of servant leadership that follows the Lord and obeys His will and command whatever the cost.

Blessed be the Lord your God who is always with you and have always been your constant help. Continue to put your faith and trust in the Lord. It is not about the rulers of the land that made you who you are and what you are today but it is the Lord.

Thus says the Lord: Return, O Israel, to the Lord, your God;

Take with you words, and return to the Lord.

“Know that I am with you; I will protect you wherever you go, 

and bring you back to this land. 

I will never leave you until I have done what I promised you.” 

GENESIS 28 : 13-15

The Lord, your God will give to you and your descendants the land He had promised. These shall be as plentiful, and through them you shall spread out. In you and your descendants all shall find blessing. As God promised, you will live a long life in the land He has given you and you will live to see your children to the third generation.

Today, the Lord sets your eyes on how to pay back in full all your debts. God has forgiven your debts so you too must forgive your brother's debts. You may have experienced hurts or wrongdoings from your brothers in the past but God meant it for good, to achieve his present end. You may have helped your brothers in a lot of ways but you can never take the place of God in their lives. His judgment shall always prevail in all the things you say and do.

Do not be afraid. God the Father loves you and knows your needs even before you ask for them. God will provide for you and for your family. 

Live in the light of truth. Life in the world is short. You may be here today and gone tomorrow. It is imperative to plan ahead in making things right before it is too late. Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. 

Become like Jesus and you will never go wrong. He is the truth and there is no lie in Him. He is the light that dispels darkness. Acknowledge Him as your Lord and Savior and His Spirit shall fill you with all that is good and pleasing to the Father.

Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim all His wondrous deeds. He works mightily in you and you can now see the greatness of His glory. Never cease to seek the Lord and all things shall be added unto you.

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, 

but one receives the prize? 

Run in such a way that you may obtain it.

1 CORINTHIANS 9 : 24

The Lord sets His eyes upon you so that His wisdom in you will serve as your guidance in your decision to follow His will and purpose for your life. Listen well and pay heed to the Lord's guidance and instruction so that you will not go wrong in your decisions.

Today, the Lord wants you to push even harder and longer and farther to the limits of your endurance. To strive to bring your body and mind completely under control so that you may excel and receive a prize. Do whatever you are told to do. Your words and commitment today shall be verified tomorrow.

God speaks to you regarding your thoughts and intent of procuring another property for investment. This you should do with utmost secrecy and honesty. His plans and designs stands forever. 

The Lord preserves you in spite of famine. In spite of the famine caused by the Covid19 pandemic that have spread through out the world, the Lord continues to favor and bless you abundantly. Give thanks to the Lord for preserving you and making his plans and designs known to you.

In these times, the Lord gives you the authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness.

Send Out Laborer for the Harvest

 

COTTAGES - COMFORT ROOM
July 06, 2023

“The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; 

so ask the master of the harvest 

to send out laborers for his harvest.”

(Matthew 9:37-38)

Today, the Lord speaks to your heart. Never grow weary of doing good for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Gal 6:9). Ask the Lord to send you more laborers for the harvest (Mt 9:37). The time to move is now.

You shall move together with your family and possessions. Go and the Lord shall bless your journey. In His strength, you shall contend all the challenges and shall prevail. In the place set by the Lord for you, you shall come face to face with God.

You shall move in God's wondrous mercies. Behold what is right most especially in times when you are being tried and tested. Be content in God's presence.

You shall move with pity and compassion. You shall see the unseen, people who are stricken with sickness and pains, people who are lost, troubled, abandoned, and people who are suffering from hunger and financial uncertainties each day. All these you yourself have experienced in the past and by seing them, you shall be moved with compassion in the same manner that the Lord had compassion on you.

You shall move with meekness and humility. True greatness is not founded on one's strength and power but in his meekness and humility.  It is in the greatness of the Lord that makes up for what you are and who you are today.

Stay Fresh and New Each Day

 

COTTAGE 1 - COMFORT ROOM
July 04, 2023

"People do not put new wine into old wineskins. 

Otherwise the skins burst, the wine spills out, 

and the skins are ruined. 

Rather, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, 

and both are preserved.” 

MATTHEW 9 : 17

Christ dwells with you and glory shall forever dwell in your land. Put on the new and take courage in the Lord.

Today, God's hand makes you accomplish all the works and undertakings that He sets before you. You shall be free of your work responsibilities to journey in the land that He has given you. 

The Lord shall continue with its building and development and further expand to other lands with gardens and fruit bearing trees. He shall firmly plant you upon your own ground; never again shall you be plucked from the land God has given you. 

God's grace is sufficient for you. Therefore, be content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and constraints, for the sake of Christ; for when you are weak, then you are strong. Power is made perfect in weakness. Do not become too elated or sated with contempt of the proud nor rebel against the Lord.

Even Jesus experienced these in His own native place. He was perceived based on His personal background and not by the good deeds and miracles that have changed the lives of so many people. He was amazed at their lack of faith.

As for you, take courage for your faith has saved you. Fear only makes things worse. Instead of having faith, it will make you dwell on the negative such as worries, anxieties, and stress. It can even trigger panic and nervousness.

Believe and Be at Peace

 

VILLA ALESSA
July 03, 2023

“Peace be with you.

Have you come to believe because you have seen Me? 

Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” 

JOHN 20 : 26,29

There is always something about God that remains a mystery. In science, we say, “To see is to believe.” In faith, the reverse is true: “To believe is to see.” Faith is to believe in things not seen, heard, touched, or felt. 

Today is a day set by the Lord for you to believe and be at peace with full hope and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ who is always near you. He is your peace who shall bring to fulfillment all that was promised to you, most especially your own dwelling place. Let the peace of God reign in your heart and mind through Christ.

We are all doubters in varying degrees. We are skeptic of the things we do not see, hear, touch, or smell. We always operate through our senses. 

Of course, we need signs to believe; we do not believe out of nothing. God gives us the grace to believe. Our senses still have their uses. They provide us with reasons to make that leap of faith. Doubt will not be a major problem if the person is open to the truth. Truth has the  power to eventually bring a person round to it.

“My Lord and my God!” is a profession of faith. We are encouraged to exclaim it like Thomas when the priest presents the consecrated Host before we receive it. In essence, we are saying, “I believe You are present here and now, Lord. Help my unbelief for me to see Your glory.”

Seek to strengthen your faith through prayer and meditation on the Word of God.

Land to Your Descendants

 

COTTAGES COMFORT ROOMS - DRAINAGE LINE
July 01, 2023

The Lord, the God of heaven, 

took you, and who confirmed by oath 

the promise He then made to you, 

‘I will give this land to your descendants’ 

(Genesis 24:7)

This is the prophecy that the Lord sets upon you today (Amos 7:15). The Lord alone is your saving help, and in His favor, you shall see the prosperity you seek and rejoice in the glory of your inheritance (Ps 106:4-5). 

Although you are a resident alien in this place, you shall acquire lots of holdings and properties. Your business transactions in this place shall deal with real estate, building and development. 

This will be the permanent dwelling place of your wife, entire family, and descendants (Gen 23:4, 19).  Here, you shall spend your ripe old age, and the Lord shall blessed you in every way (Gen 24:1). Besides your family, several servants will live with you. The senior servant shall be in charge of your possessions who will ensure that all your wishes for your descendants shall be followed by the book and for all time (Gen 24:2-4). It is in this place that your generation shall flourish.

Blessed are they who observe what is right, who do always what is just (Ps 106:3). Consider this, never forget the Lord, lest I rend you and there be no one to rescue you (Ps 50:22). 

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good all the time and His mercy endures forever (Ps 106:1-2). Always remember that, "He that offers praise as a sacrifice glorifies the Lord; and to him that goes the right way the Lord will show the salvation of God" (Ps 50:23).

Redeem Your Inheritance

Remember your flock which you built up of old, 

the tribe you redeemed as your inheritance, 

Mount Zion, where you took up your abode. 

PSALM 74 : 2

Love for God and family brings so much joy, peace, abundance and prosperity. With them, you shall prosper in every way all the days of your life.

Today, the Lord raised you up from your fall making you see the truth that the Lord Your God is the one true source of all that is in you. He alone can make or break anything that He has created. Take care not be deceived by your own intellect. Always humble yourself before the Lord.

The world would be a richer and loving place if you can avoid jealousy and sin. Put your faith in God and see great miracles unfold before your very lives.

Settle the children of God in one place that can house all their educational needs. God made you come face to face with the plight of His little children. There is a need for them to have the right and proper education without having to go through a lot of burdens.

Ask for help when you need it and be ready to help when asked. You cannot survive as a lone ranger. You need to be mentored from time to time.

Live to worship and give praise to God all your days.

Take Action According to God's Plan

Indeed, the Lord God does nothing without 

revealing His plan to His servants, the prophets. 

AMOS 3 : 7

God works in accordance with His plan. Works are hard to accomplished most especially in meeting deadlines if you do not have an effective workplan.  

Today is the day set by the Lord for you to plan your course of action regarding priority works at hand. What you do not have today can be yours tomorrow if you plan well and work for it.

In Christ, your journey is always to go up, moving forward and not backwards. The Lord always draws you clear to whatever you need to know and understand so that you may avoid encountering any problems. This is His way of ensuring that you continue to grow and develop.

As you continue your journey, always be mindful to seek the Lord's presence in you. Jesus is with you all the way and He will remain present in anywhere you serve. 

Amidst the storms in life, there comes a great calm by just being with the Lord. Calm that totally removes all yours fears and worries. Calm that is brought about by your faith that God will never abandon you nor allow you to perish. He alone can calm the storms in your life.

Rejoice and thank the Lord for all the good works that He has done in you. He made everything clear and bright for you to win in all your battles. He has raised you up and preserved you from going down the pit. Your painful sufferings are over, the Lord now wants you now to be happy all the days of your life in the world.
