Our Month Of God In Our Mist

Happy new month to you all.

We thank God for the grace and the strength to finish the 30 days of Prayer and Fasting exercise gloriously. My prayer is that the heavens will remain open over us and that the different kinds of rains we have asked for will be permanently evident in our lives and the church in Jesus name. We should get ready for the rain of testimonies in all our families and services this year.

By a divine revelation from the Lord, the month of February has been declared as our month of GOD IN OUR MIDST with Leviticus 26:11-12(NLT) as our anchor scripture.

When God opens the heavens one of the things we experience is HIS PRESENCE. He comes down to be in our midst as individuals, families and a ministry.

Throughout this year we will experience God’s presence in all we do at all times and everywhere in Jesus name(John 14:21-23)

We should therefore embrace things that will attract God to us and shun those things that will repel Him.

The following scriptures will help us in our different spiritual assignments this month:

Exodus 13:20-22

Exodus 33:14-15(NLT)

Psalm 23:1-6

Zephaniah 3:14-20(NLT)

We shall all enjoy the blessings of having God in our midst as families and ministry throughout this year and beyond in Jesus name.

Shalom!

God is still in the business of satisfying us in all areas as He has promised us this year.

Therefore, by divine inspiration, the month of August has been declared as our month of: RESTORATION AND REPLACEMENT.
Jeremiah 31:4-12(msg) is our anchor scripture for the month.
Jer 31:4 And so now I’ll start over with you and build you up again, dear virgin Israel. You’ll resume your singing, grabbing tambourines and joining the dance.
Jer 31:5 You’ll go back to your old work of planting vineyards on the Samaritan hillsides, And sit back and enjoy the fruit— oh, how you’ll enjoy those harvests!
Jer 31:6 The time’s coming when watchmen will call out from the hilltops of Ephraim: ‘On your feet! Let’s go to Zion, go to meet our GOD!’”
Jer 31:7 Oh yes, GOD says so: “Shout for joy at the top of your lungs for Jacob! Announce the good news to the number-one nation! Raise cheers! Sing praises. Say, ‘GOD has saved his people, saved the core of Israel.’
Jer 31:8 “Watch what comes next: “I’ll bring my people back from the north country And gather them up from the ends of the earth, gather those who’ve gone blind And those who are lame and limping, gather pregnant women, Even the mothers whose birth pangs have started, bring them all back, a huge crowd!
Jer 31:9 “Watch them come! They’ll come weeping for joy as I take their hands and lead them, Lead them to fresh flowing brooks, lead them along smooth, uncluttered paths. Yes, it’s because I’m Israel’s Father and Ephraim’s my firstborn son!
Jer 31:10 “Hear this, nations! GOD’s Message! Broadcast this all over the world! Tell them, ‘The One who scattered Israel will gather them together again. From now on he’ll keep a careful eye on them, like a shepherd with his flock.’
Jer 31:11 I, GOD, will pay a stiff ransom price for Jacob; I’ll free him from the grip of the Babylonian bully.
Jer 31:12 The people will climb up Zion’s slopes shouting with joy, their faces beaming because of GOD’s bounty— Grain and wine and oil, flocks of sheep, herds of cattle. Their lives will be like a well-watered garden, never again left to dry up.

There cannot be full satisfaction until what we have lost or what has been damaged or what has been stolen from us have been fully restored or replaced( David and his men 1 Samuel 30:1-20)
Hear God: Joel 2:21-27
Joe 2:21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
Joe 2:22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
Joe 2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
Joe 2:24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.
Joe 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
Joe 2:26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Joe 2:27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

Restoration brings satisfaction!
Replacement brings satisfaction, especially when the new that replaces the former is better.
Don’t forget that when God does something again, it is always better!

The difference between restoration and replacement is that, only things that can be recovered are restored, while things that are destroyed or damaged beyond repairs are replaced.
The coat of many colours that was taken away from Joseph by his brothers was not restored, but God replaced it with a royal robe ( Genesis 41:42)
Good people can be restored while the bad ones can be replaced by God.
Peter was restored as a disciple, while Judas Iscariot was replaced (Acts 1:15-26).

We should trust God for His supernatural acts in our midst this month with great faith, as we pursue we will overtake and recover all, just as David did ( 1 Samuel 30:1-20).

The following are God’s agents/instruments of restoration and replacement:
* His Word (Job 14:7-9)
* His Hand (Luke 13:10-13)
* His wind of grace and favour ( 1 Peter 5:10)
* His breathe (Ezekiel 37:1-14)
* His voice (John 11:43-44)
* His mercy (Mark 10:46-52)

Our lives, families and His church shall be full of great testimonies this month as God restores and replaces our damaged and lost organs, glory, joy, faith, opportunities, good people, helpers of destiny, blessings, good health, good connections, businesses, positions, etc.

Therefore, let’s all get ready to celebrate and share our testimonies as well as hearing the testimonies of all the members and lovers of this great commission in this new month.

Welcome to your season of great recovery, restoration and replacement in Jesus name.

Shalom!.
