Sketch Again

‎Hi family, God is here, the Lord is with you. He will never leave you or fail. He isn't disappointed in you or afraid of your scars. He loves you, you are a team, He is on your side.

‎Believe it, He is the One who gave His life for you, the Maker of the Universe your Father, the All knowing One, who knows the beginning and the end is here with you daily.

‎Dear Lord, fill us with Your Spirit, a sweet refreshing spring, let us receive your word, we thank you for our bread, open the eyes of our understanding, help us to walk together with you.

‎Let's break bread:

‎Jeremiah 41:1-4(NLT)

‎1 Then all the military leaders, including Johanan son of Kareah and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people, from the least to the greatest, approached

‎2 Jeremiah the prophet. They said, "Please pray to the Lord your God for us. As you can see, we are only a tiny remnant compared with what we were before.

‎3 Pray that the Lord your God will show us what to do and where to go."

‎4" All right", Jeremiah replied. "I will pray to the Lord your God, as you have asked, and I will tell you everything he says, I will hide nothing from you.

‎Jeremiah 42:9-11(NLT)

‎9 He said to them, " You sent me to the Lord, the God of Israel, with your request, and this is his reply:

‎10 'Stay here in this land, if you do, I will build you up and not tear you down, I will plant you and not uproot you. For I am sorry about all the punishment I have had to bring upon you.

‎11 Do not fear the King of Babylon anymore, says the Lord.'For I am with you and will save you and rescue you from his power.

‎Jeremiah 42:13-14(NLT)

‎13 "But if you refuse to obey the Lord your God, and if you say, 'We will not stay here

‎14 instead we will go to Egypt where we will be free from the war, the call to arms and hunger

‎Jeremiah 42:16(NLT)

‎16 the very war and famine you fear will catch up to you, and you will die there.

‎Notes:

‎•This message is to warn us not to go to the past, the old way of doing things but embrace the new.

‎•The new, will require work, more effort and bravery. But remember you are not alone, God is with you, He says, He will give you favour, He would build you up, He will plant you and not uproot you.

‎•For those who have tried doing projects and keep getting stuck, don't give up, keep doing it, sketch again, try again, till the picture you see comes alive. It may require some sacrifices but don't be afraid.

‎•Don't go back sitting down but fight the fear and move with Him.

‎Dear Lord, you know each heart, speak to us directly, calm our fears, bring clarity to confusion, we receive you love, we thank you for everything, in Jesus Name, Amen.

‎If your want someone to walk with you, see you, partner with you, I know someone, His Name is Jesus and He has never failed me, if you want to partner with Him say with me:

‎Dear Jesus, I say yes, come into my heart, I make you my Partner, my Lord and Saviour, I repent of my sins, I believe you died on the cross to reconcile me back to God, I receive your love and new life, Amen!

‎You are better together, walk with Him and build.
