The message for the beloved Children of God is - Encourage !

Good morning,
The message for the beloved Children of God is -  Encourage !
 
The Bible has given us some very practical ways that we can and should encourage others. The bible tells us to encourage one another, everyday, read Hebrews 3:12-15,Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. Do you not know that encouragement keeps our focus in the right place with God and people. It lets us understand that we are not alone, but that others are supportive of us, praying for us, and caring for us. First thing in the morning,we should be asking God, to help us to focus on the positive things and people in our lives. There are lots of good things we can focus on, instead of thinking about the bad things of this world. Let us trust and pray for this attitude throughout the day and choose to meditate on the positive things and people. Understand life is to short to worry about tomorrow.The bible tells us to build each other up, and to love one another, read 1 Thessalonians 5:11-14,Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.We must agree to walk together, let us learn to walk together in love for one another. Let us build up one another, let us help one another,let us comfort one another, let us agree with one another and let us pray for one another and live in peace with one another. Read 1 Timothy 2:1- 3, I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour. Heavenly Father, my spirit is crying out to you this morning, we look to you for help. We look to you for a encouraging word to speak to your people. Our hope is in you Lord, our strength comes from your word.The bible tells us that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.The word strength and its derivatives are mentioned over 360 times in the Bible, applying to both natural and supernatural strength.This means that our strength is not our own; it is not human or fleshly. Our strength is not of this world,it is in Christ Jesus.The bible tells us, do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, and then you will learn to know God's will for your life. Let us hear the voice of God today and bow down before Him and worship His Holy Name. Read Psalm 95:6-11, O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest. Let us your people encourage one another for the day is drawing near. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
