What is God's will for your life? Many people desire to do God's will, but struggle because they don't know what God's will is. The following are some principles from God's Word that will help you to discern what God's will is for you.

1. God does have great plans for your life!

We were created by God, in His image, for a purpose. Just as God set apart from birth Isaiah (Isaiah 49:1), Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:5) and Paul (Galatians 1:15) for a specific purpose, he also has a specific plan for your life.

“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declared the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future’” (Jeremiah 29:11).

The Bible says that God's will is “good, pleasing and perfect” (Romans 12:2).

2. God's will, first and foremost, is that we have a relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.

“This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:3-4).

3. God wants us to be Christ's disciples.

This means Christians must be committed to following God's will daily, whatever the cost.

“If anyone would come to me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me” (Luke 9:23).

4. The Bible will help us to know God's will.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path” (Psalm 119:105).

5. God promises to give us wisdom if we just ask Him in prayer, believing that He will give it.

Sometimes we need to just ask God to give us wisdom to discern His will.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him” (James 1:5).

In Philippians 4:6, God tells us that we can pray about everything.

6. God has given us the Holy Spirit for guidance.

“...when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth...” (John 16:13a).

7. We should listen to the advice of godly men and women that God has placed in our lives.

Many times the advice of a parent, pastor, youth minister, Sunday School teacher or other mature person is just what we need to hear to help us decide what God wants us to do.

“The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice” (Proverbs 12:15).

“Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisors they succeed” (Proverbs 15:22).

8. The Bible says that there is a peace that comes when we are pleasing God with our lives.

When deciding between two alternatives that you have been praying about, sometimes one of the options will give you a greater peace. That option is probably God's will.

“The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever” (Isaiah 32:17).

9. We should trust God in faith that He will accomplish His will in our lives.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in your will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6).

10. God has given each of us gifts and abilities to use in His service.

God always equips us to do what he calls us to do. If you aren't gifted in a certain area, God is probably not calling you to minister in that area. (see Romans 12:6-8, 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 and Ephesians 4:11-13 for lists of spiritual gifts and a discussion of them.)

Remember that God's ultimate purpose for all of us is that He would be glorified (1 Corinthians 10:31) and that the gospel and God's kingdom would be advanced (Genesis 50:20 and Philippians 1:12).

Christian Maturity

How do they look like?

I. Display the fruits of the Holy Spirit

The fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, against such there is no law

II. Lives a life of love

I do not care about what you do if you not have love is nothing “ For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” Love show the maturity of the person.

III. Knowing that they have not arrived and continues to press towards the goal

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected: but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead. The Spirit who kill or broke marriage is that “ I know “ Let us be a learner.

IV. Is living a fruitful life is the Kingdom (body of Christ)

God will not let us face temptations or difficulties beyond what we can bear, but going through these will help make us stronger Christians. Followers of Christ are a lot like gardens, we must drink in God's living water each day to remain healthy. "I am the vine, you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing". John 15

V. Knowing their calling an gift of the Holy Spirit Above all we are all called to love God and love each other and show the love of Jesus to others. A. What is the Gift of the Holy Spirit?

The gift of the Holy Spirit is also referred to as the Promise of the Holy Ghost. The phrases are interchanged but they carry the same meaning. The timing differentiates the use of the phrases. Before the promise of the Holy Spirit is given it is referred to as the promise of the Holy Ghost. But after you have received the promise of the Holy Spirit it is referred to as the gift of the Holy Spirit.

The gift of the Holy Spirit is what God the Father promised through the prophet Joel saying, "It shall come to pass afterward, thatI will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit." (Joe 2:28-29)So it is also known as the promise of the Father

B. What are the gifts of the Holy Spirit?

When the Holy Spirit is poured out upon someone He brings with Him gifts. The gifts that the Holy Ghost comes with are referred to as the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are also sometimes referred to as the Ministry Gifts of the Holy Spirit. There are nine ministry gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the Bible although the gifts of the Holy Spirit cannot be limited to the nine. The nine ministry gifts are broken down into 3 categories: The Vocal gifts, the revelation gifts and the Power gifts.

Under the Vocal gifts of the Holy Spirit we have the gifts of prophecy, diverskinds of tongues, and the gift of interpretation of tongues.

Under the Power gifts of the Holy Spirit we have faith, gifts of healing, and the working of miracles.

Under the revelation gifts of the Holy Spirit we have the gifts of the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge and discerning of spirits.

The Holy Spirit also gives gifts in leadership, business, hospitality, marriage, crafts, etc.

C. What is the fruit of the Holy Spirit?

The fruit of the Holy Spirit is not a gift of the Holy Spirit. Believers who have received the gift of the Holy Spirit are known as the Temples of the Holy Spirit. That means that the Holy Spirit resides in them. The effect of the presence of the Holy Spirit in someone’s life produces the fruit of the Holy Spirit. The fruit of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the Bible is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, and temperance. (Gal 5:22-23) Notice the bible does not say the fruits of the Holy Spirit as if you can have one or more of the fruits and be exempted from some. It says fruit, i.e. singular which means the fruit of the Holy Spirit is one fruit. Therefore, all the nine so called fruits of the Holy Spirit should be manifest all the time in a person claiming to have received the gift of the Holy Ghost

VI. Can hear the voice of the Lord speaking to them

VII. Is full of the Holy Spirit and is living a Spirit filled life which bears fruit and has impact

VIII. Is not easily offended and is able to forgive those who are against them

IX. Has tamed the tongue, is quick to hear but slow to speak

X. Is rooted in Christ and is not swept by every wind of doctrine Eph 4:14

XI. Is accountable to a local congregation

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. Many people do not like to stay ender other people and they like to do their own things. Do not have such spirit allow being where God wants you to be. All accountability happens with leadership within the religious group. Accountability outside this group is either illegal for leaders, or frowned upon for members.

Please pray for DR Congo there is one area where one person he proclaim himself that his jesus and he is doing the miracles, also people start beleive him and he have now churches in differents places. please as we sttil waiting to go and start Ywam base there we invite all peoples to pray and to hear what the Lord want you to do about this situation and let us know. Bless be the Name Of The Lord.

La Folie décida d'inviter ses amis pour prendre un café chez elle. Tous les invités y allèrent. Après le café la Folie proposa : - On joue à cache-cache ? - Cache-cache ? C'est quoi, ça ? demanda la Curiosité. - Cache-cache est un jeu. Je compte jusqu'à cent et vous vous cachez. - Quand j'ai fini de compter je cherche, et le premier que je trouve sera le prochain à compter. Tous acceptèrent, sauf la Peur et la Paresse. -1, 2, 3,... la Folie commença à compter. L'Empressement se cacha le premier, n'importe où. La Timidité, timide comme toujours, se cacha dans une touffe d'arbre. La Joie courut au milieu du jardin. La Tristesse commença à pleurer, car elle ne trouvait pas d'endroit approprié pour se cacher. L'Envie accompagna le Triomphe et se cacha près de lui derrière un rocher. La Folie continuait de compter tandis que ses amis se cachaient. Le Désespoir était désespéré en voyant que la Folie était déjà à 99. - CENT ! Cria la Folie, je vais commencer à chercher... La première à être trouvée fut la Curiosité, car elle n'avait pu s'empêcher de sortir de sa cachette pour voir qui serait le premier découvert. En regardant sur le côté, la Folie vit le Doute au-dessus d'une clôture ne sachant pas de quel côté il serait mieux caché. Et ainsi de suite, elle découvrit la Joie, la Tristesse, la Timidité... Quand ils étaient tous réunis, la Curiosité demanda - Où est l'Amour ? Personne ne l'avait vu. La Folie commença à le chercher. Elle chercha au-dessus d'une montagne, dans les rivières au pied des rochers. Mais elle ne trouvait pas l'Amour. Cherchant de tous côtés, la Folie vit un rosier, pris un bout de bois et commença à chercher parmi les branches, lorsque soudain elle entendit un cri. C'était l'Amour, qui criait parce qu'une épine lui avait crevé un oeil. La Folie ne savait pas quoi faire. Elle s'excusa, implora l'Amour pour avoir son pardon et alla jusqu'à lui promettre de le suivre pour toujours. L'Amour accepta les excuses. Aujourd'hui, l'Amour est aveugle et la Folie l'accompagne toujours.

Ph. Fahamu Kibambazi

God created the first man and woman, Adam and Eve. He created us to love Him and enjoy Him forever. Ultimately, those who trust God and follow Him, accepting His gift of salvation, will spend eternity in Paradise with God. We will delight in the unending wonders He is preparing for us there.

God wants each of us to…

■Believe in Jesus Christ and follow Him (John 6:28-29), and tell others about Him (Psalm 96:2-3; Proverbs 11:30; Ezekiel 3:18).

■Obey His commands, avoiding all sin. God knows everything we do, and He will judge us for everything that we do, and everything we fail to do (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).

■Love God and each other. "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself'" (Matthew 22:37-39).  

What does it mean to love God "with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind"? How do we do this? Well, when we say that someone loves money we understand that money is very important to them. They desire to have money and they seek to obtain it. Money is an important part of their lives.

To love God is much the same. If you love God "with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind," you will seek - above all other things - to have Him be a part of your life. Your relationship with God will be very important to you. You will seek to know God and to please Him.

So how do you seek - and come to know - God? First you must have faith and believe that you can know Him. Faith is trust in God and in the scriptures, the record of His words. The apostle Paul explained that "without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" (Hebrews 11:6). With faith established, Deuteronomy 4:29 shows that with earnest desire we can find God: "But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul." You must seek God to find Him. "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you" (James 4:8). You must approach God with confidence that you can find Him. You must sincerely desire to understand Him and do His will. And you must approach God with willingness to obey Him

■Be humble in our attitude and actions toward God and others, not proud ( Micah 6:6-8; Psalm 138:6; Proverbs 22:4; Isaiah 2:12-17; Matthew 5:5, 20:26-28; james 4:10).

To decide to change - to seek God and to do His will - is to repent. When you repent you resolve to change: you commit yourself to comply with God's expectations. Jesus advised us to repent, and to remain repentant. To repent is to turn from making your own choices in respect to what is right and wrong, and to do God's will instead. It means actively seeking God's will, and then doing it. Jesus said "My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it" (Luke 8:21). God is the ultimate and final authority; those who have repented have accepted His authority and seek to understand and do His will

A young lady was driving on a moody whether with her dad in a car. All of a sudden she entered the storm where many drivers were struggling to get out of the storm. She told her dad, “Dad, the storm is too much! I am going to pull over!” Her father insisted, “Daughter, keep driving!” as she kept pressing on, she saw even the 18 wheelers pulling over and she said, “Dad, even 18 wheelers are pulling over!” Her dad urged her to continue driving. Time came when she said to her dad, “Father, I can’t see!” But the father encouraged her to keep driving. After a short while she could see the storm clearing up ahead of her. When she was out of the storm the father told her to pull over. “But dad, why should I pull over at this time when the storm is over?” said the daughter. The father said, “You must pull over and look behind you.” She pulled over and looked behind her. As she looked back, she saw many vehicles still caught in the storm and struggling! Then her father gently spoke to her, “Daughter, have you seen all those vehicles still caught up in the storm? If you had not persevered, you too would still be in the storm!”

This story tells us not to give up no matter how strong our storms of life are. Even the strong ones in faith may give up their faith when hardship strikes them, but we should keep going for we are not alone. Jesus promised to be with us to the very end of the age.

Hebrews 12:1-3Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

Heb 12:2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Heb 12:3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Please pray this prayer:

Lord Jesus, I thank you that You are my Shepherd; You went through many life challenges even more than what I am experiencing. You understand my situation more than I do! I pray that you may uphold me with Your right victorious hand and embrace me in the midst of the storms I am going through. When I feel weak please give me the strength I need; when I feel lonely, please reveal Yourself to me to remind me that You are always with me. I Thank You Lord Jesus for Your faithfulness and tender care. May You keep me until the day You will take me back home to spend eternity with You. In your name I pray Amen.

Worldview and Poverty

Why are people Poor and Hungry?

Evolutionary Secularism says: Natural resources are limited food is not enough and there are way too many people.

Solution: Get rid of people. Stop the rabbits from reproducing. Is that truth?

Revolutionary Secularism says: There is injustice. There was imperialism and colonialism. Some people have taken too much and what is left is not enough.

Solution: Redistribute resources. Is that truth?

Animism says: Bad things happen when the Spirits are angry or inattentive to man’s need. The solution: Constant appeasement. Is that truth?

• What’s the problem with these views?

• They insist that the root cause are external to man

• The views of secularism locate the problem in the physical environment while animism locates the problem in the spiritual realm.

What is the truth???

• The poverty is mindset: I’m poor and I will always be poor. There is nothing I can do about it. Or, I’m poor because others made me poor. They will have to solve my problem. I cannot.

• The lies of Satan: There is not tomorrow. There is no absolute truth and truth is unknowable.

How can we break the web of lies?

< If you want to be blessed be canal of blessing> often God bless us so we can be canal of blessing to others. Let us use our blessing to glorified His Kingdom. Here it is not just money or property is beyond that.

We have received blessing or opportunity to know the truth, it is not by our strengths or will is God’s grace. Let us give what we have received so we can become canal of blessing to others. And to see the needs as God’s seeing it.

We can do that, truth: Proclaiming Gospel, renewing the mindset and discipling nations.

Thank you for great work you are doing to change nations.

Everyone has a worldview. Whether or not we realize it, we all have certain presuppositions and biases that affect the way we view all of life and reality. A worldview is like a set of lenses which taint our vision or alter the way we perceive the world around us. Our worldview is formed by our education, our upbringing, the culture we live in, the books we read, the media and movies we absorb. Many people their worldview is simply something they have absorbed by osmosis from their surrounding cultural influences. Our worldviews are much like the root system of a fruit tree. When we look at tree, we cannot see the root. They exist below the ground yet the root system determines the quality of the fruit.

A “healthy “worldview one based on God’s revealed truth-productive “healthy” or productive consequences.

An “unhealthy” worldview one based on Satan’s lies and distortions of the truth produces “Unhealthy” or destructive consequences.

What it is a really Worldview? A good worldview is Biblical View.

Biblical Worldview is to have the mind of Christ. That would mean that we would think like Christ, Love like Christ etc…

Galatians 5:22-26 say: the fruits of the Spirit is Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. …

Philippians2:5 say: Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus. According to this words all of us we have one father who He is in heaven and we must have one View like Him. Let us see things like Him, and see the realities, needs like Him. I hope that you will understand that the Christian faith is reasonable and makes sense in a world that has lost its moral compass. Truth is absolute, not relativistic, and can only be understood by submitting to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the one who said “I am the way, the Truth and the life, no one can come to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6) While Christianity is believed by faith, it is most definitely a reasonable and rational faith. It answers the questions of the mind and the heart. We all live by faith. Some people have faith in themselves. Some have faith in the government or in a hope for world peace. Some have faith in their money, their education or their employment. All of those things are temporal and can change. They can all let us down. Our health can fail, we can lose our job, we can end a meaningful relationship with someone we care about. Life changes, but God can be depended on through it all. He will never leave nor forsake those who belong to Him. (Heb. 13:5b)

My desire for you is Christ will live in your hearts by faith, and that you will come to know and understand with me the height and the depth and the width and the length of the Love of Christ. It surpasses all human knowledge. I pray that you can be filled with the fullness of God. (Eph. 3:18-19)
