Don’t Panic Exercise faith?

Christ, god, Holy Spirit, Jesus, panic, Pray

Last week I had a prayer request from a woman who thought she was losing her baby. She pressed her hands on her stomach, but nothing. she tried moving around, drinking something cold, but nothing. Her unborn child had either been quiet for quite a while, or something was wrong. She had two choices. panic or faith.

Maybe you have the same choice to make in your life right now. I discovered a formula that can help you beat panic if you accept its words by faith and put them into practice. It’s found in Philippians 4-9.

Paul says we should rejoice in God, and not panic, bringing all matters to the Lord in prayer. Next, we choose where we place our thoughts, and what we feed them. Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy — that should be our focus.

When the woman’s baby went quiet, she decided to believe that her baby would “not die but live and would proclaim what the Lord has done”. She was happy to hear the beautiful heartbeat coming through the machine. She was aware that the outcome could have been different, but she decided from then on to deal with things as they came from the point of view of faith, not panic.

Today, we have choices to make what will be our approach? remembering the good in someone who’s hurt you and choosing to make peace with them. Maybe it is deciding to trust that God is holding the aeroplane you are about to board in His care and has commanded His angels to watch over you. Or perhaps it is accepting that He loves you beyond what you could ever imagine. So, if you’ve messed up, you can choose to believe it’s not over and turn to Him again, knowing He is not finished with you yet. Don’t Panic exercise faith.

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.” Philippians 4:8

Let’s Pray

Yahweh, I come to you because I need my mind shifted. I want my thoughts to be aligned with yours. I want my mind to be transformed. Teach me to choose faith over panic. God reminds me of your truth when darkness fills my thinking. Remind me of your love when I cease to believe it. Hold me close to you when panic is one of my choices. I love you, Lord. In Christ’s name Amen.

9 Things your Kids Need (But won’t Tell You)

9 Things your Kids Need (But wonâ€™t Tell You)

Nothing beats the feeling of desiring to become a parent. No one can dismiss the joy, excitement and the strong desire to hold and cuddle your bundle of joy and live happily ever after. The plannings of how your baby will be received in the family not forgetting the baby showers that come in handy. Friends and family send the congratulatory messages to the newest parent in town.

Parenting is beautiful but unfortunately no manual can come in handy with instructions on how to raise and handle the new member in the family. The days and nights are always longer. Stress and feelings of breaking up are experienced in the few months after birth. Lack of sleep is the order of the day.

The good part is that it pays off. Parenting your children with Christian values helps to build strong families where strong societies and cultures are built from. We are living in the world with a lot of challenges and your children are not an exception as they’re prone to them.

Here are some of the things they need but won’t tell you.

1. Your marriage

When your marriage is perfect and you invest much in it, you’ll definitely have a great family. When children are born, they come along with an empty basket that needs to be filled up in all areas of their lives. You should always be at their service to provide them with your time and resources. Their future should be secured. Invest in them. When you invest in your marriage and let the children know that your marriage comes first, they’ll respect the institution.

2. Your faith and love to Christ

The adage says, “Actions speak louder than words. “Your children are likely to follow your actions more than they can listen. Which faith do you profess to? Share the love of Jesus Christ with your children. Be a role model even in the matters of Christianity.

3. Technology

In these times we are living in, technology has taken over our homes by storm. I remember when I got my second child, during feeding time and when I wanted to keep him calm as I worked. A phone always came in handy. I would allow him to play games and watch videos. The hardest thing was retrieving the phone back and erasing the mindset he had concerning the gadget. We need to put boundaries on technology. Let the children know that for their lives to be perfect they don’t need to be exposed to technology.

4. Encourage them more than you correct them

Have you ever been in a position whereby you only notice the mistakes your children are making?
Sometimes children can turn out to be chaotic, jumping up and down from the couches, fighting each other or speaking with food in their mouths disregarding all the etiquette you’ve taught them? You may feel like yelling at these little angels and put sense into their little minds. How do you respond to that? In the midst of all these shortcomings, is there a positive thing you can point out and say, “WOW, I am so proud of you!”

How often do you tell your children that you love them? I know what you’re thinking. I provide for them, take them to the best schools and I’m always there for them. They know too well that you love them but telling it to their faces makes all the difference. Spoken words are powerful. Speak positively to them and this will build them up. Stop assuming that your child knows how you feel about them. Tell them.

If you’re struggling with taming your tongue read the book of Psalm 141:3 “Set guard over my mouth Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips. The Holy Spirit will always be your guide if you allow Him.

5. To know life isn’t fair

We all go through some nasty experiences in life. Let the children know that nothing comes easily in life and they need to work hard for it.

Good grades at school just doesn’t just fall into their laps, they need to work extra hard to earn them. Nothing in life is handed on a silver platter. Whatever we go through in life no matter how hard it is, it’s meant to build us make us strong and we learn from it.Romans 5:3-5 “But we rejoice in our sufferings, because we know suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

6. To say no and protect their boundaries

We all set boundaries in all areas of our lives but the tragedy are when you set them in your own house and nothing seems to work. What happens when you tell your child not to do something that you feel isn’t right or would hurt them? Your guess is good as mine; they end up doing it.Learn to set boundaries.

Let your no be no but say it with a lot of love. These boys and girls just want to grab the attention and let you know that they are in existence lest you forgot.

7. Help them to become the best man and woman they were created to be, not who you want them to be

When we conceive, we make plans for the unborn child without regarding Gods intentions for their lives. We all want the best for our children but we end up eliminating GOD from the picture. How many people out there ended up being what God didn’t intend them to be just because somebody thought that “this suits you better than that”. Career wise, if I tell people to raise up their hands if they ended up in wrong careers just because their parents thought that Doctors are paid more than Teachers or Lawyers earn more than musicians. You’ll be surprised.

As parents, we need to nurture our children talents. Once you recognize them, the best you can do is to uphold them. Never ever make a mistake of comparing your children. It really hurts. I can very well remember back then while schooling. I did something that annoyed my mum and the worst mistake she did was to compare me with my friends and I didn’t like it. This really crushed my spirit, my self-esteem dropped to zero but I thank God I am not where I was then. Knowing Christ has helped me a great deal.

I thank God I can encourage my children to be better than what they were yesterday. I always seek guidance from God. You can do the same also. Pray and read the word of God for direction.

8. Discuss with them topics that are always avoided

Talking about sex is the hardest topic a parent can discuss with their children. They always dodge the conversation to the slightest opportunity they get. Let me ask this annoying question, whom would you want your child to discuss this with?

Children are always keen with their body parts and a boy can tell he looks different from a girl. Tell them and explain with the language they can understand. If you won’t tell them, the world is waiting to tell them as it is.Do not let your children subscribe to the patterns of the outside world.
Create a channel for conversations. Open dialogues works wonders.

9. Prayers

Pray for your children, pray with them and for them. Prayers works wonders. Some years back, my brother who’s behind me was living a life that we couldn’t understand. He could only come to visit me when he planned it and felt like seeing me.I would go for months without seeing him and this really affected me.I couldn’t get him on phone unless he called me.

I decided to involve God in it.I prayed and fasted because of him. I still do. He may not have accepted Christ as his savior but I’m sure one day God will save him. I thank God because he changed him in all areas of his life.

What does this mean to you? You guessed it right, prayers changes things.

Make a habit of praying for, with and for them. Have family devotions and you’ll experience great and mighty things. May God bless you and order your steps.

Stunning Photos of Babies in Womb Expose Pro-Abortionists lie About Human Development

The idea that life in the womb starts at conception has been discussed for long between Pro-life and Pro-Abortion advocates. While Planned Parenthood and other leftist organizations have tried to persuade women that their babies are just a group of cells, a lot of research has continued to prove otherwise.

A recent photo-shoot posted to Flickr by Lunar Caustic gives a very exciting high-resolution glance into life inside the womb as early as 3 weeks. That is before many women have the slightest idea that they’re expectant. The amazing photos captured by this gifted photographer were shared by live Action earlier this year, and have since created immense support for the pro-life community around the web.

Having lost one of my friends in an abortion related complications that was done at the backstreet alley by a quack was the worst experience I had to go through. The enemy planted a seed in her mind that she was still young and bringing a child in this world out of wedlock is its self a sin. It was the worst decision she ever made-committing a sin to cover up another. The other scenario was of another friend who lived with guilt and the news that she couldn’t conceive just because her womb was tampered with was a bitter pill to swallow. The trauma, regrets and “I wish I knew “phrases engulfed her. She sunk into depression. The tragedy was very dispiriting but by standing with her at her lowest moments and sharing the love of Jesus, she got the much needed help from a counselor and gave her life to Christ. A key to a happier life is resilience and entrusting your all to Christ.

I felt bad and wished if they only hinted to me the crimes they were planning to commit. It’s said that “If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. “I would have sat them down and talk sense to their lives. The worst decision one can ever make is trying to terminate the unborn child because it’s fighting God’s idea. You never know what you’re getting yourself into. If you get yourself at cross roads, seek counsel, read the word of God and meditate upon it day and night.

What you value most to another person is worthless

It is said that one man’s meat is another man’s poison, right? In our midst in the society we’re living in there are people who have no place for good morals. Anyone can do whatever they want as long as it suits them forgetting that there’s God who should be the center stage in our lives. Whether it is distasteful or not, people have this mentality of ‘me, myself and I’ altitude disregarding the word of God which teaches us on The Ten Commandments. Thousands of people if not Millions are spending their lives on their knees praying to GOD to bless them with a fruit of their womb where as others are coming up with weird ways to dispose the babies.

Show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are

Who are the people in your inner circle? Who are your friends or whom do you hang out with? Sometimes people get to succumb to bad influence, lose focus and do things that they ought not to be doing. Friends are awesome if you have the genuine ones but woe unto you if you can’t write home about yours. All in all, you can’t just pull out without sharing the love of GOD with them. Share the story of the cross you never know the impact the word will have on their lives.

Jeremiah 1:5 says “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

The Bible categorically emphasizes on how God knows us before He forms us in the womb. When one conceives God is much aware of everything and He plans it according to His perfect will. The notion that conceiving must always be planned is always far-fetched because the LORD indicates that before we were formed in our mother’s wombs he knew us. It’s never a surprise to GOD He is the master plan.

Embryo at 3 to 4 weeks in the womb has a heartbeat

After 3 weeks from conception, an embryo’s heart begins to beat and this shows that there is life inside the womb. God affirms the value of every human life-from babies in the womb to the elderly. Why would anyone call a child in the womb a cluster of cells? This is a lie that pro-abortionists are feeding to our brains and because of our ignorance, we fall prey to their schemes which is a lie from the pit of darkness.

Psalms139:13-16 “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place when I was woven in together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”

Formed

“For you formed my inmost parts “God forms the unborn child, and abortion is destroying God’s intention.We need to respect and regard the unborn child as a blessing and bear in mind that God mastered the planning. The formation of the life of a person in the womb is the work of God.

Needle work/womb

“You knitted me together in my mother’s womb. “What a confirmation that God is involved in this! It’s a privilege to know that God worked on you to form a child. It’s such a blessing and this shows that God has supremacy over our lives starting immediately from conception. God is the primary knitter, creator in the gestation period.

Fearfully and wonderfully made

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. “An unborn child is certainly not just a cluster of cells that can be disposed of anyhow. The child has an identity known by God in continuing with who they will become as an adult. God has given the unborn child a plan for their life but abortion takes this away.

Every child conceived has the right to live and no human being is responsible to terminate this beautiful God’s idea.

Psalms22:10 “From birth, I was cast on you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God. “It’s awesome to know or to have the assurance that you have the power to trust in God, hoping in Him and casting all care upon him. This Bible verse emphasizes on allowing God to take care of the unborn child by committing the child to Him.

Knowing the danger the unborn child is exposed to, and the schemes that may be laid to end his life, God is committed to preserving the child. Why would anyone have the intention of ending the precious life of the unborn child? May you find the grace to preserve the precious life that God entrusted you with the purpose to carry the child to full term to fulfill God’s intention of the child.

Abortion out of convenience

Having conceived a baby without ‘planning’ as the world says it-it’s an excuse woman impose to get rid of the baby in their womb for reasons better known to them-as convenience. Abortion is in itself murder-if a legal term is anything to go by. Exodus 20:13 says, “Thou shalt not kill.” God has supremacy over our lives starting from conception.

No condemnation to those in Christ

As I am writing this, I am not condemning anyone whatsoever. Who am I to judge?

John 8:10”¦..straightening up, Jesus said to her, “woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?

John 8:11 she said, “no one, Lord, “And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you, either go from now on sin no more.”]If you have had an abortion doesn’t mean that you’re evil, you hate babies or you aren’t a good mother. Do not let the world condemn you. You are a sinner just like everyone else. Repent and because our God is a loving father-He is faithful and just and he will certainly forgive you. The saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ brings forgiveness of sins.
