*Offering a sacrifice of praise to God...*
This truth should help us to understand that praising God is part our life continually... This has to be done through Jesus Christ; -who was and is our sacrifice... Praise has to be the fruit of our lips..

*Hebrews 13:15*

15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name..

*We choose to stay blessed by Offering a sacrifice of praise to God...*

Congratulations are in order to the new leadership

Hello Friday

*Seeking the face of the Lord...*
As the Church will be choosing leaders seek the face of God in prayer, stand in the gap for God's will to be done....
This is a call for all of us to call upon the name of the Lord;... Ask for His mercy and help... The Lord is our salvation... Let the wise hear this and act accordingly

*Psalm 27:7-9*

7 Hear my voice when I call, Lord;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, Lord, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
God my Savior.

*We choose to stay blessed by Seeking the face of the Lord...*

Good morning

Hidden in the shelter of God's sacred tent

This truth should encourage us to dwell in the house of the Lord... We are safe in His shelter.. Remember He is our rock... Trouble shall come, we shall face danger and temptations.... When we are in God's shelter we cannot fall or be harmed.... Let the wise hear this and act accordingly

*Psalm 27:4-5*

4 One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.

*We choose to stay blessed knowing that we are Hidden in the shelter of God's sacred tent*

Hello Wednesday

The Lord is our salvation

This truth should help not to panic, take things personal or to be swallowed by fear.... We belong to the Lord and so whatever or whoever rises against us shall fall... In all circumstances we remain confident... Let the wise hear this and act accordingly

*Psalm 27:1-3*

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked advance against me
to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.

*We choose to stay blessed knowing that The Lord is our salvation*

Kind regards

From katete girls 🙏

It is a happy birthday to me...

I have chosen to celebrate this birthday by thanking God for good health, stable family, special favour and grace on the ministry....

I have seen the hand of God in life , family and ministry..... I'm here today, I am what I am today and I have what I have because of the Lord...

*Psalm 124:2-3,6, 8*

2 if the Lord had not been on our side

when people attacked us,

3 they would have swallowed us alive

when their anger flared against us;

6 Praise be to the Lord,

who has not let us be torn by their teeth.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

I choose to stay blessed with the help of the Lord....

40+..... Family and friends join me in celebrating....

*We are created for God*
This truth should help us not to live life as we please.... We belong to God and we are for God;.. We can only hold together when we live for God... Some people move from trouble to trouble for choosing to live on their own; their lives cannot hold together.... I pray that we shall live and do life for God... Let the wise hear this and act accordingly

*Colossians 1:16-17*

For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

*We choose to stay blessed knowing that We are created for God*

Good morning

*Seeking God's Kingdom and Righteousness...*
This truth should guide our walk with the Lord... Things causing us to worry shall come... Troubles shall also come-
Ours is to live one day at a time; seeking God's Kingdom and Righteousness and all our needs shall be attended to.... Worrying should not be our portion.... Let the wise hear this and act accordingly

*Matthew 6:31-34*

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

*We choose to stay blessed by Seeking God's Kingdom and Righteousness...*

Good morning

*God is our portion..*
This truth should encourage us to keep hoping and going... We may become weak and fail but that is not the end.. we should look to the Lord who is our strength and portion forever.... Let the wise hear this and act accordingly

*Psalm 73:26*

“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

*We choose to stay blessed knowing that God is our portion..*
