16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,
18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
NKJV
My Comments:
It's been 3 months since I last posted as I've been led into spending more time in prayer, especially in regards to the Church as a whole. Many great things have happened since my last post and I am grateful to God for the many experiences I've had.
Since we're now heading into the close of 2013, some of you may or may not have known that at the beginning of the year, we had a word from the Lord concerning how 2013 was going to be. For easy reference, the link to the post is as below:
http://ourlifeingod.blogspot.com/2013/01/what-do-you-see-for-2013.html
In the light of that word given, I can say that 2013 has indeed been a year of glory for myself as an individual and for our local church as a family. We've done more things in this year compared to the last year; some of us has come into a greater anointing that has had a greater impact on the ministry in the church.
And at the same time, I acknowledge that there has been ups and downs. Life isn't a bed of roses. Some of us went through some painful situations in life that makes us feel as though we're all by ourselves; but we're not. God's still on the Throne.
As such, when I was spending time in prayer this week, a word came up concerning 2014 that I believe would be of encouragement to those who still read this blog; or those who will come across this blog.
I will blog from time to time as I am led to but for now, just read through this; be encouraged that 2014 will be a much greater year compared to 2013. Move on, move out and move up into 2014 with Him!

2013 for some has been a year of glory
But for others it may have been another story
This is no time to look at what might have been
For in 2014 we will see that which is unseen
It’s no time to give into defeat and despair
It’s time to be bold and lift both hands in the air
For He has not given you the spirit of fear
But He has called you to be with Him up here
So do not look back at what might have been
But press into victory for that which is unseen
Do not be caught up with the failures of the past
For in My presence you’ll be having a blast
It’s time to press in for the victory that lies ahead
To be bold with your words, speaking things that will be made
For you will have a new song to sing
In anticipation of what your Father will bring
For you will possess a victory so sweet
Just remember, in Me you are complete
