Memory Verse With Explanation

Genesis 2:5-6 NIV‬
[5] Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, [6] but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 

This scripture can be explained in two forms;
1: God's rain being his Grace
2: God's rain being promise/provision

GOD'S RAIN BEING HIS GRACE: Case in point Moses and the red sea.
We have heard that the word of God is as powerful in our mouth as it is in God's mouth,what is even more powerful is what God does with our words.
When faced with trying times, you're encouraged to use your words to break the yoke. A verse in Galatians 5 says with the sword of the Spirit(the word of God)we extinguish the fiery darts(lies) of the enemy.
References have been made to how potent our confessions or declarations are. 
God hasn't sent the rain(his power) because there was no man to work the ground(to speak forth a word over that situation) 
When faced with challenging situations, either health issues, marital problems, or lack in whatever form, we the children of God are expected to lift up our staff just like Moses did, staff is symbolic for the Word of God. When there's no lifting, then there's no pouring down of God's power. The red sea only parted when moses lifted up his rod.
The Power of God needs the words of man to be stirred into action. This is why prayer is very important in the life of every believer.
Not just casual words but faith filled words. This is your ticket to stir the heavens to release forth the rain of miracle that changes your situation. Until the staff is raised God would not move. Like he said to Moses, why are you crying out to me? Raise your staff and the Sea would part. Raise your words and the Kingdom of heaven would back it up. 

GOD'S RAIN BEING HIS PROMISE/PROVISION: A perfect example for this is the children of Israelite in the wilderness.
While they wandered around the wilderness they neither sowed nor reaped anything yet were fed manna pending when they got to the land flowing with milk and honey. 
They were being sustained in a season of drought for as long as it took them to get to the season of rain. 
Another perfect example is Elijah and the Waterbrook 1 Kings 18 till the end. 
During the season of drought, Elijah was fed by God mysteriously till they saw the rain.
This can be you being in-between shelters or jobs, a period of spiritual drought where you can't pray due to unforseen circumstances, or financial incarceration. God will always have a way of taking care of you till things gets sorted out.

For those who are in a waiting season in absence of the promise, God is merciful enough to not leave you hanging in there by yourself without sending support(the stream that came from the earth to water the surface)This could either be: Strength to hold on when you're completely burnt out, giving you hope to persevere under severe trials, a team of support when you are mentally or spiritually depleted, Joy in a period of despair etc.
God hasn't answered that prayer yet not because he hates you like you think nor because he is slow to keep his promises. Rather he is careful not to because you aren't fully equipped to step into all that he prepared for you. In the meantime he will supply all you need to go by pending when the time is fully ripe.
Shalom!!

Memory Verse With Explanation

Luke 7:37-38 NIV‬ [37] A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. [38] As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them. If you're an ardent bible study attendee then this scripture would be very familiar to you. So familiar a scripture that even unbelievers know it. It's the story of the woman with the alabaster box. A woman who poured out more than a year's wages on the feet of Christ as a form of reverence to him, not only that, washed his feet with her tears and wiped them clean with her hair. One thing about this popular scripture is that the woman in question was a renowned prostitute,one who at her time was considered unworthy to be in the presence of noble men let alone the presence of the King of Kings. This story has been acted on stag...

Memory Verse With Explanation

Galatians 4:1-2 NIV‬ [1] What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. [2] The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.  I remembered having a conversation with my dad one time during my childhood days that made everybody seated there burst into laughter.  I asked if i could get money to buy "pampers"(Sanitary Pad) seeing as my elder sisters were using one LOL!! Yeah feel free to laugh at my childishness as everyone who heard the story after that day laughed at me and called me miss pampers.  I wanted to do grown up stuff when i wasn't even at that stage yet. I hadn't started menstruating but i wanted money to buy pad that i wasn't ready for, I thought it was the coolest thing to do as girls i didn't realise i would first have to spot miss red flag before getting my own pampers. Today's scripture is no different from my childhood ta...

Memory Verse With Explanation

Matthew 6:25-26 NIV‬ [25]  “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? [26] Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?  Since i was born and now i am getting old never have i seen or heard that rats lost weight as a result of food inflation. I have never heard that wall geckos ever ran out of supplies to the point of carrying placards to protest before God. I haven't also seen where wild animals in the jungle like lions and crocodiles ate weeds. They always had their supplies undisrupted.  Animals who were created less than us have since creation been provided for how much more you and i who were made in God's image and likeness? Impatience is not what we suffer from as humans but trust issues is. We fear what...
