It Will Make Sense In The End

voiceofrestoration — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 08:00:42 +0000

No one enjoys hard times. No one wants to be hard pressed by the challenges of life. But there comes a time when it appears everything is slipping out of your hands and you have no power to stop it.

Until you see things from God’s perspective, until you can see the whole picture, often nothing makes sense. But trust God with your life. Often it is when the challenge is over that everything makes sense.

Principles For A Successful Life And Ministry

voiceofrestoration — Fri, 21 May 2010 08:00:09 +0000

Principles are essential for a successful life and ministry. Principles are tried and tested and work at all times and in every situation. There are several aspects of a successful life and ministry. And there are principles that deal with each of these aspects.

It Is Not Over

voiceofrestoration — Fri, 14 May 2010 08:00:17 +0000

This is a Message from the IT IS NOT OVER conference.

There are times when it appears everything is against us. And it looks as if God has forgotten about you or abandoned you. It may look like it is all over.

However, the things we see around us are no necessarily an indication of the way things will turn out. God has not forgotten about your case. He has not abandoned you. It is not over for you.

Handling The Pressures Of Society

voiceofrestoration — Fri, 07 May 2010 08:00:32 +0000

We all are constantly under pressure from the society. The society influences us either positively or negatively. You cannot run away from this pressure unless you choose to live in complete isolation.

However, you can choose the way you respond to this pressure. The way you handle this pressure determines its effect on your life. We must, at all times, live to please and honour God and not man.

The Esau Mentality

voiceofrestoration — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 08:00:07 +0000

Your mindset or mentality determines your attitude towards life. And your attitude towards life determines your choices and actions. When you change your mindset, your choices and actions will also change.

When your choices and actions change, the results you get will also change. The choices and actions of today determine the consequences and results of tomorrow. Where you are in life today is as a result of the choices and actions of yesterday.

The Royal Donkey

voiceofrestoration — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 08:00:35 +0000

Many a times, we try very hard to catch the attention of God and to impress Him. We often assume that would attract unto us the favour and the blessings of God. But God would rather that we yield ourselves unto Him completely.

Can Anything Good Come Out Of Nazareth?

voiceofrestoration — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 08:00:06 +0000

Where and how you begin your life is not important. It is where and how you finish your life that is important. You did not choose where you were born, your parents, your race, or your siblings, if you have any. God did! So why do you feel shy and intimidated by these facts.

God knew your limitations before He called you and chose you. And He has full confidence in you. He is well able to bring to pass everything He has said about you no matter where you are today. Yes! Something good and excellent can come out of your life.

God Will Fight For You

Making Sense Out of Your Situation

voiceofrestoration — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 08:00:59 +0000

There are times that we find ourselves in situations that just do not make sense. The situation may be exactly the opposite of what you expected from God. You may have given God your very best and been the best person you can.

However, everything suddenly begins to fall apart. All the people you have helped and fought for suddenly abandon and reject you. But in all things we must learn to trust God. We trust that this message will help you make sense out of your situation.

We shall learn how to set realistic, manageable, and achievable goals that will take us closer to our God given vision. We shall learn how to set goals and achieve them, when we are confronted with a challenge, or when we take on a challenge.

Achieving Your Goals [Part 1]

voiceofrestoration — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 13:00:15 +0000

A life without vision is a life without purpose, direction, and focus. It is heading nowhere. Vision is what brings purpose, direction, and focus to our lives. It is what helps us to identify what we need and what we do not need.

However, vision is often huge and cannot be achieved overnight. Therefore, it must be broken down into a set of goals. This study will help us learn how to set goals and achieve them.

Watch out for Part 2 of this message next week.

voiceofrestoration — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 13:00:41 +0000

There are times when we find ourselves in circumstances that appear to box us in. The conditions may be such that though we are physically free, we may feel we are in bondage or restrained.

But it does not matter what force, authority, or entity that is keeping you in bondage. God can, and God will certainly set you free if you let Him.

Watch out for Part 2 of this message next week.

What Do You Have?

voiceofrestoration — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 13:22:26 +0000

Your attitude towards what you have determines how much value you place on yourself.

No one is useless because God has given everyone at least a gift or talent. God expects you to nurture, develop, and polish what you have.

Your success or failure in life depends on what you do with what you have. How you treat what you have determines how life teats you.

He Who Digs a Pit Shall Fall Into It

voiceofrestoration — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 20:44:31 +0000

There are always those whose objective is to bring people down without any just cause. Time and time again, we are tempted to focus our attention on the activities and scheming of these people.

However, we should not get distracted from our God given vision by such malicious people. Regardless of the conspiracies, plans, and scheming of such people, our God is well capable of protecting and preserving us.

Therefore, do not focus your time, energy, and strength on them. Ultimately, God has the final say. He will promote us and glorify Himself.
