CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETY ON HIM BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU. 1 PETER 5:7 *NIV
We are often filled with worry and anxiety in the fast paced World of ours today. When you think about it, what is worry but the opposite of faith!
Now Jesus Christ said, “I TELL YOU, DO NOT WORRY ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT YOU WILL EAT OR DRINK; OR ABOUT YOUR BODY, WHAT YOU WILL WEAR. IS NOT LIFE MORE IMPORTANT THAN FOOD, AND THE BODY MORE IMPORTANT THAN CLOTHES? LOOK AT THE BIRDS OF THE AIR; THEY DO NOT SOW OR REAP OR STORE AWAY IN BARNS, AND YET YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER FEEDS THEM. AND WHY DO YOU WORRY ABOUT CLOTHES? SEE HOW THE LILIES OF THE FIELD GROW. THEY DO NOT LABOR OR SPIN. YET I TELL YOU THAT NOT EVEN SOLOMON IN ALL HIS SPLENDOR WAS DRESSED LIKE ONE OF THESE.” MATTHEW 6:25-26; & 28-29
Therefore, know that God is always with you, and there is no reason to worry about what might happen. After all it is written: DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW, FOR TOMORROW WILL WORRY ABOUT ITSELF. EACH DAY HAS ENOUGH TROUBLE OF ITS OWN.MATTHEW 6:34 So instead DO NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT IN EVERYTHING, BY PRAYER AND PETITION, WITH THANKSGIVING, PRESENT YOUR REQUESTS TO GOD. And; LET THE PEACE OF CHRIST RULE IN YOUR HEARTS, SINCE AS MEMBERS OF ONE BODY YOU WERE CALLED TO PEACE. AND BE THANKFUL. Amen.
PHILIPPIANS 4:6 & COLOSSIANS 3:15
Have a wonderful day.

HEREIN IS LOVE, NOT THAT WE LOVED GOD, BUT THAT HE LOVED US, AND SENT HIS SON TO BE THE PROPITIATION FOR OUR SINS. 1 JOHN 4:10 *NKJV
BEHOLD, WHAT MANNER OF LOVE THE FATHER HATH BESTOWED UPON US, THAT WE SHOULD BE CALLED THE SONS OF GOD: THEREFORE THE WORLD KNOWETH US NOT, BECAUSE IT KNEW HIM NOT. 1 JOHN 3:1
I will like you take a moment and watch this video below.

Remember, for God is love, we also have to love one another: HE THAT LOVETH NOT KNOWETH NOT GOD; FOR GOD IS LOVE. 1 JOHN 4:8
Have a wonderful day.
YOU DID NOT CHOOSE ME, BUT I CHOSE YOU AND APPOINTED YOU

WHERE THERE IS NO [REVELATION]*, THE PEOPLE CAST OFF RESTRAINT; BUT HAPPY IS HE WHO KEEPS THE LAW. PROVERBS 29:18 *NKJV
The Hebrew word for [revelation] here refers to the Words of God as received by the Prophets. Thus meaning: “WHERE THERE IS NO WORD FROM GOD, THE PEOPLE CAST OFF RESTRAINT.”
Now just think for a moment what our lives would be like without the Word of God. There would be no peace in our lives, and we would be void of God’s Great Love for us as well. We would have no one to give us strength, hope and faith when dealing with the problems in our life! Our lives would therefore be truly empty, and worry and confusion would rule in our lives!
As Children of God we read and study His Word, and know of His Great Love and Compassion for us! We also know that we are in Him and He is in us, for it is written: FOR IN HIM WE LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING. ACTS 17:28
Thank Heaven that God chose us to be His Children for it is written: YOU DID NOT CHOOSE ME, BUT I CHOSE YOU AND APPOINTED YOU. JOHN 15:16
So the next time that you count all of your blessings, remember to also count the fact that God chose YOU to be a Child of His! Just think of how important YOU are to God, and what a blessing it is to be selected as a Child of His! Praise The Lord! Amen.
Never doubt God’s great love for you.

GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. ROMANS 5:8 *NKJV
As you already know God loved us so much that He sent His son Jesus Christ to die for us. Not because we were perfect, but because He loved us that much! There couldn’t be a greater demonstration of His love than that! He even loved us when we were living in sin, that is before we became Christians.
Now that we are Christians we realize the tremendous price that our Savior Jesus Christ paid for our sins, AND WE HAVE KNOWN AND BELIEVED THE LOVE THAT GOD HAS FOR US as well. 1 JOHN 4:16
After all, GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. FOR GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD, BUT THAT THE WORLD MIGHT BE SAVED. JOHN 3:16-17
So, never doubt God’s Great Love for you, after all you are His Child. Further, He is not a God waiting to punish anyone, but a Heavenly Father who has tremendous love for His Children! So if you ever feel unloved, and all alone, reach out to Him for He is always there with open arms waiting for you!

The spiritual meal.

JESUS SAID TO THEM, “I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE. HE WHO COMES TO ME SHALL NEVER HUNGER, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME SHALL NEVER THIRST.” JOHN 6:35 *NKJV
We eat bread to satisfy our hunger and nourish our human bodies. To nourish our spiritual bodies, we need Jesus, for it is written; JESUS SAID “WHOEVER DRINKS THIS WATER WILL THIRST AGAIN, BUT WHOEVER DRINKS OF THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM WILL NEVER THIRST. BUT THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM WILL BECOME IN HIM A FOUNTAIN OF WATER SPRINGING UP UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE.” JOHN 4:13-14
The truth is, our spiritual food is the Word of God, and Jesus is that Word, for it is written; THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US, AND WE BEHELD HIS GLORY, THE GLORY AS OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER, FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH. JOHN 1:14
Now there is a restaurant that specializes in Spiritual Food right in your own neighborhood. It is also very easy to find, and it’s name is your local Church. A five star Spiritual Meal should be served there every Sunday morning! You won’t need a reservation, just stop by and tell them that Silas Olatayo sent you. Amen.
Have a delicious spiritual meal this Sunday.
