ARISE FOR YOUR TIME HAS ARRIVED! by Faith Monchusi (as God spoke)

I wrote this in June 2012 on Facebook.

I was just reading the book of Isaiah 60 and I went back to Isaiah 60:1-2 and the Lord gave me these words which He wants you to receive as well:

The Lord is faithful. He never just speaks but what He speaks comes to pass. He said you are the light of the world(Mat 5:14). When you trust in the Lord, surrender your life to Him and do His will He shall shine upon you. You have been in darkness until you drew closer to God's light.

The world is covered in darkness, gloom, sadness, sorrow and sin but you who are made perfect by God, you who is a broken vessel renewed by God, you who have been cleansed by the blood of the Lamb, arise! Lift up your head and walk tall for all to see His glory is upon you.

Your time has come to reap what you sowed. Your tears have turned to joy. Your time has come to live like a king for you are seated with Christ. Arise! No one cannot see you for you shine of His glory in you. All are drawn to you because of Him shining through you.

Favour draws the blessings, the prosperity in everything, the abundance of wealth, fruitfulness! All your desires are fulfilled. Arise and shine but do not forget the light is not for you alone but for you to light up the darkness in the world, open their eyes and let them draw to His ever-shining light!

Arise for He has answered you prayers for it is morning, a new day, fresh anointing, eternal blessings, opened floodgates of heaven. No more crying, no more pain, no more worries, no more debts, no more sickness, no more lack for the Lord has come and see He has prepared your table in the presence of your enemies(Ps 23:5). Invite them too so they may know the Lord your serve is a forgiving Father.

Rejoice always! Arise! The light is upon you! Keep your head up and your eyes fixed on Him and shine for all to see the glory of the Lord!

Arise my brothers and sisters!
Arise you who are the Light of the world!



Isaiah 60:1-2 " 1 Arise, shine, for your light has come,and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.2 See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples,but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you."

Amen

TWO WORDS THAT CAN STRENGTHEN YOUR MARRIAGE

Two Words That Can Strengthen Your Marriage

We are still on words but this time we are not getting a detox but getting a boost. Words we must say to build our husbands and our marriages.

Thank you. The two most easiest words but most hardest to say. The two words which is actually only one word in some languages. Ngiyabonga, dankie (sounds better as "Baie dankie), tankie". We even teach them to our babies as part of their language development. These words can do so much good to our marriages if we use them regularly and in the right situations.

How many times do you say "Thank you" to your husband? For instance, when he washes the dishes or just clears them? For putting the toilet seat down? For washing your car? For buying groceries, cooking supper sometimes, taking down the washing when you couldn’t? I can write a whole book mention the things you can thank him for.

I must admit, I learnt to say "Thank you"  even for the smallest gestures or doing what is naturally expected to be done by me from my husband. He thanks me for cleaning the house and even for saying goes something kind. The feeling I get when he thanks me has taught me to thank him as well. It is easy to get by and forget to be thankful so instead of keeping the "Thank you" to ourselves let us learn to say it to our husbands. When he does something he never does don't say something like: "Yoo what happened that you out of all people did this?" or "Did you wake up in a good mood today?" Just say "Thank you for...."

If you think you have nothing to thank him for, when did you last thank him for choosing you? For being a good father(even if you think he is not, remember the power of words)? For being kind to you? Beloved wife think of the positive things you can thank your husband for and go ahead and thank him. While you are at it, thank God as well because He by all means has an influence on the good things in your marriage.

"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18
