Luke 19:1-10
Zacchaeus probably became rich by cheating people, something tax collectors were known for in those days. But Zacchaeus met Jesus and he became a new man. He had faith in Jesus power and love.
Zacchaeus promised to pay back even- more than he had taken- those he had cheated. But the crowd didn't like this. They needed new hearts too, but they didn't realize it.
Real faith is not a matter of simply believing in and loving Jesus. It involves turning from old ways that go against God's commands and starting a new life. Real faith acts to make things right again.

From a Dream to a Nightmare
1kings. 9:1-9
This is the second time God appeared to Solomon in a dream. The first encounter took place when Solomon first became king. When God visited Solomon the second time, the King was the richest and wisest man in the world. The template had been built and the land was at peace.
In this dream, there was both a promise and a warning God assured Solomon that his prayer would be answered- God's presence would remain in his temple. But there is also a warning here. God told Solomon that if he or his sons worshipped foreign gods, the Lord would rip the kingdom out of their hands and take away the many blessings he had given them.
This promise and warning to Solomon applies to us, as well. God wants to be with us, but if we chase after false gods, such as money and material possessions, we will ultimately suffer great losses.

Word of the Week
It's a brand new week. Another opportunity to be blessed by God and from all and unexpected quarters. Have you lost something? Is your hope dimming? Have you constantly asked or still asking when God will do it? Relax, God's ever on the throne. His eyes see to and fro the earth. He says He will restore; remember He will honour His word more than His name.
Our word of the week is Restoration- Joel 2:25-26.
" And I will restore to you the years that the locusts hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the Name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed."
This is the Word of the LORD to you, this week, You'll know no shame. Instead of shame you shall have double honour and unexpected miracles will come your way. Have a wonderful week.
Relax, He will RESTORE

Idle Hands and Idol Hearts
Hosea 4: 15-19
The Lord compares his people to stubborn cows unwilling to be fed. They had refused his help and had turned to the ways of the world. Someone who is stubborn is usually unmovable, stiff with pride and very defensive. Have you begin to develop this symptoms in your relationship with God? Are you indifferent, refusing to get involved or be associated with the things of God?
Have the idols of this world wormed their way into the prominent place of your heart, pushing God aside? Let's not allow our idle hands to lead us to develop and idle hear. Instead, pursue the living God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength to guard from the disaster of destroying your relationship with God.

Unfinished business
He was a brilliant musician and had written six symphonies by age 21, but Franz Schubert is most famous for his Symphony No. 8 in B Minor or the "Unfinished. Symphony. His life cut short at the age of 31, he never had the opportunity to complete this masterpiece. The world calls it a tragedy. But what is God's view?
In Psalm 102:23-27. The Psalmist cries to God to extend his life. He is afraid of a premature end, perhaps because he feels there is so much unfinished business. We echo this fear with our frantic busyness, trying to cram as much as possible into the day.
Take a moment right now to contemplate the eternity and sureness of God (vs 27). Think about how the eternal Almighty God cares for you and wants to call you one of his own.
