Don't Waver

Dear family, friends and partners,

"All the strength and force of man comes from his faith in things unseen.  He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak.  Strong convictions precede great actions. The man strongly possessed of an idea is the master of all who are uncertain or wavering.  Clear, deep, living convictions rule the world."  - James Freeman Clarke

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23

"In one of the decisive battles of World War I, disastrous reports poured into the headquarters of Marshal Foch, the commander of the Allied forces. The great general never lost heart. When things were at their worst, he drafted his famous order which is now in all textbooks of military strategy: "My center is giving way, my right is pushed back, my left is wavering. The situation is excellent. I shall attack!" 

The bible tells us in the book of James, " But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed" (James 1:6).

Last week I wrote to you about holding fast.  Once again, in the book of Hebrews, we are instructed to hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering.  We can see from the book of James that to waver is to be denied the promise that belongs to you, which was paid for by Jesus Christ.

The hope that we hold on to is that every promise of God is 'yes' and 'amen' to us.  This is the great salvation that was purchased for us by the blood of Christ.  This is the salvation that we entered into when we were born again.  We were born into victory.  We were born into destiny. We were born into a glorious liberty, by the blood and the Spirit, that all of the children of God can enjoy. 

In these troublesome times, when the storms are raging and the wind is blowing, it is easy to be tossed to and fro. It is easy to waver and lose sight of Jesus Christ and His great victory that He purchased for us.  Just as Peter took his eyes off Jesus, saw the wind and the waves and began to sink, in the same way, we can lose sight of what we have in Christ if we give heed to the circumstances that are contrary to us.  

Jesus encourages us to cast our cares upon Him, for He cares for us!  He tells us to be anxious for nothing, but to believe in God and to believe also in Him.  

In Revelation 3:11 it says, "Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown."  

The word crown here means "A crown or wreath given to a victor."  It is a crown of victory!  So then Jesus is exhorting us, not to let anyone take away our Victory!  You are more than conquerors through the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ paid the price for you to have total victory in every area of your life and circumstances.  

We are fast approaching the time of Easter, the Jewish Passover.  This feast demonstrates and is a memorial of the great love that God has for us, His people.  Jesus died so that you might live, so that you and your family could go free.  Free from all the work of the evil one.  Jesus came to give us life and that life more abundantly.  The blessing of Abraham now belongs to us, through the price that Jesus paid and our faith released is His redemptive work at Calvary. 

“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9).

“If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29).

Let us dance, praise and shout the victory right now, because of Who we have and what we have in Christ. 

I dare you to live today in the victory that Christ paid for you with His life and blood.  I dare you to raise your hands right now and let us declare together, "Jesus Christ is Lord!"  I dare you to believe the word, to hold fast the confession of your faith without wavering, and to go forth and conquer over every circumstance you face.  I dare you to win in life, through Jesus Christ. 

Plan your life like you are a victor and that Jesus is not coming for a hundred years, but live your life like He is coming this afternoon.  Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus.
God bless and much love,

Ps. Shaun Marler

“I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am only moved by what I believe.” Smith Wigglesworth.

If God’s Word says you are forgiven, then you are forgiven, if God’s Word says your needs are met, then your needs are met. If God’s Word says you are healed, you are healed. If you don’t let go of God’s Word, but keep it in your heart and mouth, then you can’t lose. There is no force the devil can bring against you that can overthrow the Word of God. God’s Word will make you a victor every time. So if you have been wanting good success and it has been eluding you, quit wondering if you have what it takes to succeed and remember instead, who lives in you. Then turn to the Word and put God’s success formula to work in your life. Start talking it, start thinking it, start doing it! You can believe all day long that the Bible is true- and that’s to your credit- but what the Bible says will never affect your life in a personal way until you start acting on God’s Word. Do not worry or fret that God has given more faith to others than He has to you. Rest assured in the fact that God h

Honour your man of God

“Render to all men their dues. [Pay] taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, and honor to whom honor is due.” Romans 13:7 (AMP) The word honour means: to respect, to revere, to treat with deference and submission and perform relevant duties to. Honouring your man of God is vital in the life of every born-again believer. Even as a Senior Pastor, it is a privilege for me to honour the men of God that I consider my spiritual fathers and mentors. They are life coaches to me on my spiritual journey to success, shining examples of excellence in ministry, men to whom I look for advice, prayer, guidance and leadership. The importance of a man such as this cannot be overstated. Many of us would not be saved from the wrath to come, had it not been for the assistance, support and intervention of our Pastors. We would be ignorant of the Word, were it not for a man of God anointed to teach. Thank God for men who dare to teach the “Word of God”, i

THE LAW OF REPETITION

Image
What you hear repeatedly, you will eventually believe. Repetition, our school teachers know this basic law of learning. That’s why when we were at school, we learned many things in our early years by repetition. Someone once said, “You must hear something at least 16 times, before you eventually believe it”. Television commercials are repeated over and over. These are backed up by newspaper, magazine, internet and billboard advertisements. The marketers know we must continually hear and see something before we respond to it.  Romans 10:17 says “ So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God ”.  It simply takes time to absorb a message. Great achievers understand the necessity for their team and those following them, to hear instructions, teaching and training, again and again, before they fully grasp new concepts.  Do not expect those around you and those with whom you network, to understand everything instantly. You are a result of a process, y
