My God is good, my God is good, my God is good, He so good. My God is good is good, my God is good, my God is good, He is so good. My good is good, He is so good, my God is good, He is so good.// O! Lord my God how wonderful is Your Name in all the earth how precious is Your Name.

Mighty Father thank You for being our God we are grateful for Your loving kindness towards us you have made in Your image glory be to Your Name for ever and ever. Let the living water that is Christ Jesus flow over our soul this morning to purge us and make us whole. We cannot thank you enough for youR love towards us. Blessed be Thy Name.

Jesus Jesus Jesus You are love my life. Beloved can you join to sing Jesus Jesus Jesus You are the love of my soul O! Jesus You are love my live yes! Jesus You are love of my life.

Beloved, is the above song true in your case? My own answer is yes. The truth you know and apply is what sets you free.

In our faith clinic today, the last of it for the month, I enjoin you that you read carefully and expectantly as some revelation will be coming your way as you read. Be alert and vigilant as well. Praise the Lord!

The love of God in our lives are immeasurable. Beloved you need to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God (Eph 3:18-19).

Jesus died that you may be live for evermore. And all the cross He said it is finish. Having been tortured and flog all your cares, burden, infirmities were carried away. Beloved what is that situation in life that is asking you where is your God?

Can you please be made bold to say to it Jesus also took care of you while hanging on the tree? He took this and this away (mention your case). And be strong in your confession as you will see Jesus be true in that situation. The beautiful thing about God is that He is a Living God. it therefor means that God is Omnipresence. He knows every issue concerning you as it happening in seconds. He does not need a narrator to tell Him it went or how it happened. Praise Jesus.

Therefore are you agreeing with us that the truth you know sets you free?

In case you are totally in conviction of what we are bringing your way. You are not totally convince, Jesus is coming your way to expound the scripture the way it will be understandable to you. Praise Jesus.

Are you ready to grasp more please come also with me as God make Himself real to you? Remember His glory must radiate on you in greater measure this year. So come along as you discover more from the message below:

You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”—John 8:32

God’s truth never restricts you; it always sets you free! Are you discouraged? Is there a sense of bondage in a particular area of your life? A lack of victory over a certain sin? A harmful addiction? It is possible that you do not yet understand a truth about God that can release you.

If you feel powerless to meet the challenges before you, take encouragement from the promise of Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” If you are defeated by circumstance, hold on to the truth of Romans 8:28 that God can work your most difficult situation into His good. If you are enslaved to a particular sin, work the truth of 1 John 1:9 into your life, which promises that if you confess your sin, God is faithful to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. All of these truths await the Holy Spirit’s implementation into your life.

It is one thing to know about the truth. It is yet another thing to experience the truth of God being worked out in your life. God’s truth will have no effect upon you unless you accept it and believe it.

Perhaps you have already read and heard accounts of God working mightily in the lives of others. But have you allowed God to implement those truths into your life? What truth about God would you like to be experiencing in your life? Ask Him to implement that truth into your life today.

Beloved, this our greatest problem allowing the Word/promises of God to be real in our life. Is possible because we know so much therefore we hinder the power of God from being effective in our life, we hinder the Holy Spirit from helping our infirmities. Praise God! Is that your case I plead with you to let go and let God. If you are doing just that let continue:

Perhaps One Of Our Problems Is That We Know Too Much

INFORMATION OVERLOAD: Exposure to an endless array of tapes, sermons, books, articles, seminars, and Christian radio.

Why is it that with all this information at our fingertips our lives are often out of joint, our marriages strained, and victory over sin remains an illusive ideal?

For one thing, we wrongly assume that knowledge of the truth will change our lives, when in reality it only heightens our awareness, and increases our guilt.

Surprisingly, the Scriptures suggest that exposure to too much knowledge may actually be ruinous:

“In much wisdom there is much grief, and increasing knowledge results in increasing pain.” (Ecclesiastes 1:18)
“The writing of many books is endless, and excessive devotion to books is wearing to the body.” (Ecclesiastes 12:12)
“Always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (2 Timothy 3:7)

So what is missing? Consider Hebrews 4:2:

“For indeed we have had the good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them because it was not united by faith in those who heard.“

Exposure to the truth is of no value to us unless that truth is translated into faith as evidenced by obedience. For three years Judas Iscariot lived with the Truth, but ended his life in suicide. Familiarity with the Truth without application spelled personal destruction.

James reminds us to:

“Prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.” (James 1:22)

So, our problem lies not in the fact that we need more truth. Rather, we simply need to respond in faith and obedience to the truth we already possess!

Beloved, let us allow faith to mingle with the truth we know and it will produce the required results we desire in Jesus Name. Connect with people whose faith is stronger than yours to also help you. remember the truth you know and apply sets you free.

Remain blessed in the lord.

Even the Faintest Call

Your are the Lord that is Your Name, You will never share Your glory with anyone, You will never share glory with anybody O! Mighty God that is Your Name.// I will lift up my voice, I will joyfully sing not for what You have done but for Who You are. You are the song that I sing, melody in my voice, the reason I sing is to praise Your Name. He reigns, Jesus reigns, He reigns for ever more.

Faithful Father, we thank You, will bless Your Holy Name, we cannot thank You enough for Your love and peace that money cannot buy. We reverence Your Presence in this place. Thank You Lord for You are Great and Might are Your works. Thank You for the answers that are coming today to our humble request to You, Father.

Beloved, we are before appearing our Maker today, are you happy about it? Yes! Our God is a good God. He answers prayers because He wants to hear you call on Him. He promised to answer and show you great and might thing which thou knoweth not.

Are you ready to go into His Presence? Oftentimes we are cumbered with loads of care and wants and we often imagine how and where will the solution comes from.

I have good news for you. The Lord hears even the faints call you made in your inner heart. He said that you should stop worrying about the “how and where” but be assured that He will surely answer you when you call.

Beloved the “how and when” belongs to God because that what makes Him God. Another goodnews I have for you is that you can call at any time. God is not weary of your call neither will He neglect your call nor share your thought with another except in ministration of meeting your need.

Then why do you worry when you can pray? Why do we run hither and thither when we can pray?

Beloved, in vain truly do you seek deliverance from other quarters except from the Lord. Man is not El-Shaddai neither is he Omnipotent. God is the only one with such qualities. So why not settle to call on Him alone.

Men promise is in vain except backed up by the Lord. God knows whom He wants to use in every circumstances. Seeking help from men can be sometimes tormenting unlike when God blesses you, He will never be late neither will he despise you, praise God.

I pray for you that as call today that God will answer you. He will arise and make Name for Himself in Jesus Name.

Beloved, the promise above is for the children of God not for strange or a slave? Which do you belong sons (children) or stranger (slaves) to sin and sorrows?

There is opportunity for someone reading this message now who is yet to give his/her life to Jesus to so now by clicking here now.

Are you ready to call on your Father? To call on your heavenly Father who is Mighty and do all things? Let do that just now:

“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered.” Joel 2:32

Why do I not call on His name? Why do I run to this neighbor and that, when God is so near and will hear my faintest call? Why do I sit down, and devise schemes, and invent plans? Why not at once roll myself and my burden upon the Lord? Straightforward is the best runner — why do I not run at once to the living God? In vain shall I look for deliverance anywhere else; but with God I shall find it; for here I have His royal SHALL to make it sure.

I need not ask whether I may call on Him or not, for that word “Whosoever 15 a very wide and comprehensive one. Whosoever means me, for it means anybody and everybody who calls upon God. I will therefore follow the leading of the text, and at once call upon the glorious Lord who has made so large a promise.

My case is urgent, and I do not see how I am to be delivered; but this is no business of mine. He who makes the promise will find out ways and means of keeping it. It is mine to obey His commands; it is not mine to direct His counsels.

I am His servant, not His solicitor. I call upon Him, and He will deliver me.

Have you called? Are you calling? Don’t forget that this privilege is for sons. Are you one of his children? Is He your heavenly Father? Can you call Him Father? If you can, let’s get going:

“Your heavenly Father.” Matthew 6:26

God’s people are doubly His children, they are His offspring by creation, and they are His sons by adoption in Christ. Hence they are privileged to call Him, “Our Father which art in heaven.” Father! Oh, what precious word is that.

Here is authority: “If I be a Father, where is mine honour?” If ye be sons, where is your obedience? Here is affection mingled with authority; an authority which does not provoke rebellion; an obedience demanded which is most cheerfully rendered—which would not be withheld even if it might.

The obedience which God’s children yield to Him must be loving obedience. Do not go about the service of God as slaves to their taskmaster’s toil, but run in the way of His commands because it is your Father’s way. Yield your bodies as instruments of righteousness, because righteousness is your Father’s will, and His will should be the will of His child. Father!—

Here is a kingly attribute so sweetly veiled in love, that the King’s crown is forgotten in the King’s face, and His sceptre becomes, not a rod of iron, but a silver sceptre of mercy—the sceptre indeed seems to be forgotten in the tender hand of Him who wields it.

Father!—Here is honour and love. How great is a Father’s love to his children! That which friendship cannot do, and mere benevolence will not attempt, a father’s heart and hand must do for his sons. They are his offspring, he must bless them; they are his children, he must show himself strong in their defence. If an earthly father watches over his children with unceasing love and care, how much more does our heavenly Father?

Abba, Father! He who can say this, hath uttered better music than cherubim or seraphim can reach. There is heaven in the depth of that word—Father! There is all I can ask; all my necessities can demand; all my wishes can desire. I have all in all to all eternity when I can say, “Father.”

If we who are evil knows how to give good gift how much more will our heavenly Father give unto us.

He who did not spare his son from going to the cross to wipe our sins how much more will He give unto us His dearly beloved.

Beloved, call as you are instructed to do and see good working out your salvation. Granting all your heart desires. Giving you miracle babies. You receiving a miracle job. God is bring to some one way his/her better-half. I tell you, this God is great. Praise the Lord.

Beloved, you are breaking your farrow grounds. Your breakthrough is locating you today. You are gaining a new heights today. The Lord is adding to you today as you pray. You are receiving the glory that is from above today as you pray. Beloved, rest is coming your way as God will lead to where the hidden treasures are and you are possessing that which belongs to you. Glory be to God in the highest.

Father, according to Your Word be it done unto us. Help us this day. Help our destiny today in Jesus Name. Let us recognize you in all our blessings in Jesus Name. You can use anything; the Lord can use anybody but we must return all the glory to Him because He is the One Who is making it possible in Jesus Name.

Beloved call for He is waiting and shall answer and deliver you Amen!

Remember “they that knows their God shall do exploits.” Trust not the arm of flesh but trust on God your Marker for His Word are “Yea and Amen!“

Remain blessed in the Lord.

“There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.”

What a Mighty God we serve, what a Mighty God we serve, heaven and earth adore thee, angels bow before Thee, what a Mighty God we serve.// Lord You are so good, You are so Kind Mighty Jesus I worship You, You are so kind.

Faithful God we bless You, we worship You we adore You, there is none like thee. Let glory, honour be yours forever in Jesus Name. Merciful Jesus we worship You, we adore You forever. Forgive us all our trespasses, cleanse us from all unrighteousness, purge us and make us whole in Jesus Name.

Beloved, how are doing? Hope you doing fine? Glory be to God. Greater Glory is not by luck, or chance neither is it by error. Greater glory is a gift you receive by fully engaging in the work of your master. It is endue from above as you faithfully engage your Spirit in seeking the Lord. It is endue upon you as you faithfully engage in saving souls from perishing.

For God made Him sin without sin so that you having receive the gift salvation will also engage in saving others from going down to hell.

It so important we establish this background before the end of this month else we may not have the opportunity of capturing it thereafter.

So be ready to live as Jesus live and be ready also to disciple others as this is the will of God and is pleasing to your Father Who art in heaven. Beloved, Paul was a man of great zeal for his Fathers work by killing those that is confessing the Lord Jesus as their Lord. But a time came, God call him out from that destructive path and call him into his marvelousness light to preach to the gentiles (Gen. 1:13-16).

We have started a series on service. We will also be bringing your way series that will help your Christian race. So fully be alert as we fully engage all the nozzles in making theme of the year a reality in our life as we move on. Glory be to God in the highest.

Beloved are tired of trying things out and struggling to make it work? I have good news for you the Lord is here today to grant rest to you. There is rest that the Lord gives. We not are not to labour to enter into it. It has been granted to all who have given their lives to Jesus.

However, if you are yet to give your life to Jesus. You have an opportunity to do that right now so that you too will enter into rest prepared for you by Jesus by clicking here.

Beloved, there is rest for everyone who ready to live as Jesus did.

Ask God to help you by taking away from you cares of this world and vanity that is associated with things of this world. I pray for you, may the Hand of the Lord be risen upon you for good and help you in Jesus Name.

Let get into today’s studies:

“There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.” Hebrews 4:9

How different will be the state of the believer in heaven from what it is here! Here he is born to toil and suffer weariness, but in the land of the immortal, fatigue is never known. Anxious to serve his Master, he finds his strength unequal to his zeal: his constant cry is, “Help me to serve Thee, O my God.”

If he be thoroughly active, he will have much labour; not too much for his will, but more than enough for his power, so that he will cry out, “I am not wearied of the labour, but I am wearied in it.” Ah! Christian, the hot day of weariness lasts not for ever; the sun is nearing the horizon; it shall rise again with a brighter day than thou hast ever seen upon a land where they serve God day and night, and yet rest from their labours.

Here, rest is but partial, there, it is perfect. Here, the Christian is always unsettled; he feels that he has not yet attained. There, all are at rest; they have attained the summit of the mountain; they have ascended to the bosom of their God. Higher they cannot go. Ah, toil-worn labourer, only think when thou shalt rest for ever! Canst thou conceive it?

It is a rest eternal; a rest that “remaineth.” Here, my best joys bear “mortal” on their brow; my fair flowers fade; my dainty cups are drained to dregs; my sweetest birds fall before Death’s arrows; my most pleasant days are shadowed into nights; and the flood-tides of my bliss subside into ebbs of sorrow; but there, everything is immortal; the harp abides unrusted, the crown unwithered, the eye undimmed, the voice unfaltering, the heart unwavering, and the immortal being is wholly absorbed in infinite delight.

Happy day! happy! when mortality shall be swallowed up of life, and the Eternal Sabbath shall begin.

Let keep going;

“Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken Thou me in Thy way.” Psalm 119:37

There are divers kinds of vanity. The cap and bells of the fool, the mirth of the world, the dance, the lyre, and the cup of the dissolute, all these men know to be vanities; they wear upon their forefront their proper name and title. Far more treacherous are those equally vain things, the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches.

A man may follow vanity as truly in the counting-house as in the theatre. If he be spending his life in amassing wealth, he passes his days in a vain show. Unless we follow Christ, and make our God the great object of life, we only differ in appearance from the most frivolous. It is clear that there is much need of the first prayer of our text. “Quicken Thou me in Thy way.”

The Psalmist confesses that he is dull, heavy, lumpy, all but dead. Perhaps, dear reader, you feel the same. We are so sluggish that the best motives cannot quicken us, apart from the Lord Himself. What! will not hell quicken me? Shall I think of sinners perishing, and yet not be awakened? Will not heaven quicken me? Can I think of the reward that awaiteth the righteous, and yet be cold? Will not death quicken me? Can I think of dying, and standing before my God, and yet be slothful in my Master’s service?

Will not Christ’s love constrain me? Can I think of His dear wounds, can I sit at the foot of His cross, and not be stirred with fervency and zeal? It seems so! No mere consideration can quicken us to zeal, but God Himself must do it, hence the cry, “Quicken Thou me.” The Psalmist breathes out his whole soul in vehement pleadings: his body and his soul unite in prayer. “Turn away mine eyes,” says the body: “Quicken Thou me,” cries the soul. This is a fit prayer for every day. O Lord, hear it in my case this night.

Beloved, are you asking God to take away your eyes from vanity? Everything that hitherto distract you must be put under your feet by Jesus so that you will serve God with whole heart and be rewarded in Jesus Name. We cease today to fulfill the lust of flesh, and the lust of the eyes and vain glory of life. Beloved walk in the Spirit, and yea shall not fulfil flesh’s lust (1Jn 2:16; Gal 5:16)

I decree peace into your life such peace that Jesus gives, receive in Jesus Name (Jn 14:27). Enter into the rest of your Father as promise us when you make Him the Author and Finisher of your life. Praise the Name of the Lord!!!!!!!!!!

Remember And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work. 2 Cor 9:8 (ASV)

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Lord You are so great, blessed be Thy Name. In heaven You are the Lord, on earth you reigneth forever, O! Lord I praise Your Name, blessed be Thy Name.// Yes! Yes! I know He lives, I have a witness in my live that He lives, standing on the right side, looking up above I can say that I know that He lives.

Our Father, we thank You, we bless Your Name, we worship You, we adore You, glory be to Your Name forever and ever in Jesus Name. Heavenly God, Your children are saying You are good. Thank You for another blessed week head of us. We are grateful because we walk in Your favour, we walk in Your love, Your grace we be available for us and Your mercies will lead us all through this week in Jesus Name.

Beloved, wow! another great week is here, praise the Lord somebody! Faithful is our God. The month of January is running out and I believe some many are being blessed. The goodness of Lord is already manifesting in our lives in Jesus Name.

Serving God willing is one way of manifesting Gods greater glory and am sure you will not want to miss it. I am positioned to be blessed by God, I will not give up come what may because I know that the faithfulness of my God is standeth sure.

My Father is the Rock of Ages, Unchangeable Changer is His Name. He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. The great I AM, The Beginning and the End. He is the Ancient of days, The Alpha and the Omega. Great are You Lord. Blessed be Thy Holy Name forever in Jesus Name.

Beloved, I have goodnews for you, do you know that Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah? There is something about this Name.

Let go to Rev 5:5. What is your bible saying? Do you know that the seals are broken? Do you know that it was broken for your sake?

Do you that you are set free. You are saved. You are delivered. You are made whole. You are blessed, just by that single act of Christ? All your concerns has been taken care of by the blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross of Calvary?

This act of Christ can only be motivated by love. Jesus is praying same pray for us. That the love of His Father that is upon Him may also be on us so that we will be able to serve as Jesus did.

Jesus is our advocate, our Saviour, our Redeemer. Beloved, He alone is our God. Come along with us as we discover more from the message below:

Righteous Father! The world has not known You.

However, I have known You, and these have known that You sent Me.

I made Your name known to them and will make it known,

so the love You have loved Me with may be in them and I may be in them.—John 17:25–26

You do not “organize” the kingdom of God, you “agonize” the kingdom of God. You cannot be close to God without being affected by His love. The heavenly Father loved His Son with an eternal love. Everything in the heart and life of the Father was released to His Son. As the Father expressed His love for a broken and sinful world, this passion was manifested through the life of His Son. The Father initiated His plan to save mankind, and out of a heart of devotion, the Son accepted the assignment that took Him to the cross.

As Jesus walked among people, the Father’s love filled His Son. Jesus recognized that no ordinary love could motivate Him to go to the cross. No human love could keep Him perfectly obedient to His Father throughout His life. Only His Father’s love was powerful enough to compel Him to commit His life to the saving purpose of His Father.

Jesus prayed that God would place this same love in His disciples. He knew that no other motivation would be sufficient for the assignments God had for them. God’s answer was to place His Son in them. It is impossible for a Christian to be filled with this measure of love and not to be on mission with God.

You will be incapable of ministering to everyone God sends you unless you have His love. You cannot forgive others or go the extra mile with others or sacrifice for others unless you have first been filled with the boundless love of God.

Seek to know the Father and His immeasurable love, then allow His Son to love others through you!

That love move Abel when he offered an accepted sacrifices unto God. Because Cain was devoid of this love, he killed his brother. Beloved, where are Cain’s of our generation? Hope you are not among them? Else God will ask you of blood of those you killed either by your uncaring attitude or through intentional acts and neglects.

Remember God knows the intents of your mind. So beware. However, Jesus died on the cross out of love. Are you ready to be on mission for the love of God? Are you ready to save the souls that are perishing? Please join me to discover more, lets continual reading:

“Abel was a keeper of sheep.” Genesis 4:2

As a shepherd Abel sanctified his work to the glory of God, and offered a sacrifice of blood upon his altar, and the Lord had respect unto Abel and his offering. This early type of our Lord is exceedingly clear and distinct. Like the first streak of light which tinges the east at sunrise, it does not reveal everything, but it clearly manifests the great fact that the sun is coming.

As we see Abel, a shepherd and yet a priest, offering a sacrifice of sweet smell unto God, we discern our Lord, who brings before His Father a sacrifice to which Jehovah ever hath respect. Abel was hated by his brother—hated without a cause; and even so was the Saviour: the natural and carnal man hated the accepted man in whom the Spirit of grace was found, and rested not until his blood had been shed.

Abel fell, and sprinkled his altar and sacrifice with his own blood, and therein sets forth the Lord Jesus slain by the enmity of man while serving as a priest before the Lord. “The good Shepherd layeth down His life for the sheep.” Let us weep over Him as we view Him slain by the hatred of mankind, staining the horns of His altar with His own blood.

Abel’s blood speaketh. “The Lord said unto Cain, ‘The voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto Me from the ground.'” The blood of Jesus hath a mighty tongue, and the import of its prevailing cry is not vengeance but mercy. It is precious beyond all preciousness to stand at the altar of our good Shepherd! to see Him bleeding there as the slaughtered priest, and then to hear His blood speaking peace to all His flock, peace in our conscience, peace between Jew and Gentile, peace between man and his offended Maker, peace all down the ages of eternity for blood-washed men.

Abel is the first shepherd in order of time, but our hearts shall ever place Jesus first in order of excellence. Thou great Keeper of the sheep, we the people of Thy pasture bless Thee with our whole hearts when we see Thee slain for us.

Beloved, the blood of Abel crieth vengeance while the blood of Jesus speaketh mercy.

Are you ready for the mercies for our Lord Jesus Christ? Hold on to it as you go through the week. If you are going through any pain due to some mistreatment, please allow the love of Christ to flow through you now. Receive the mercy of Jesus and be healed. Remember we cannot meet with God and remained same.

We already on our path to greater glory don’t be left behind. Allow the live in Christ be also be in you. Be imitators of God, dearly beloved.

Beloved, this week is declared blessed in the Name of the Lord. See you on Friday with your testimonies of the Gods goodness in Jesus Name.

Read this Prov 11:4.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Compelled to Serve

Come lets praise the Lord come lets praise the Lord he is Jehovah tell of salvation spread the news around of his Name let us praise the Lord, praise the Lord. Forever and ever my Lord is the same he never change.// let the living praise the Lord, let the living praise the Lord. Let the living praise the Lord let the living praise the Lord.

Father we thank You we bless You morning Holy Name, we worship we bless You now and forever. Thank You for the gift of another day. Thank You for watching over us and doing for us that which only You can do, glory be to Your Name alone. Thank You for giving us testimonies. Our lips are filled with Your goodness and mercies.

Father, thank You for the gift of Son Jesus Christ who died on the cross that we might live and we do not take it for granted. Blessed be Your Holy Name.

Beloved, thank God is PCL. Another opportunity to inward and make amend. All through the week the Lord has been speaking to us on how best to rely on Him and trust Him.

He promise to help us, delivery us by sending his Son to die. He is Mighty to save and he promised to crush the head of satan on our behalf while enter into our rest. Praise God. In order to succeed, we were advice to form a healthy habit by memorizing some scripture and place them strategically on our door post, offices, study room, bed room even our kitchen inclusive.

Today, we are will be considering how we should respond to this wonderful gesture extended to us by our Maker. What more can be more deserving than offering our self back to the One who did not withheld His Son to die for us.

Beloved, we were saved to serve. Where are you serving? Where are offering your help to? Or you think you are not needed? You think you are useful for Jesus? Have you forgotten that you are a member of His body? Don’t shy away, rather offer yourself in service to Him alone.

Are you ready to do that? Join me as we dig deeper in today’s message:

Your people will volunteer

on Your day of battle.—Psalm 110:3

One mark of revival, during which God comes to His people in power, is that God’s people are compelled to offer their lives for His service. Many churches lack people who are willing to get involved in carrying out God’s redemptive work. The mission fields are crying out for Christians to go and share the gospel with those who’ve never heard it. What we need is not more pleas for volunteers, but an outpouring of the power of God. When God comes among His people in power, there is never a shortage of volunteers or resources for His work!

When Christians today are asked what aspects of the Christian life are most important to them, missions is not usually ranked as a priority. This is because we have lost track of why God called us in the first place. We were not saved from our sin simply so that we would qualify for heaven. God delivered us so we would have a relationship with Him through which He could carry out His mission to redeem a lost world.

Only the power of God can free us from our natural self-centeredness and reorient us toward the mission of God. There is no need to pray that God would come in power. That is the only way He ever comes. We need hearts that are so responsive to Him that He will choose to demonstrate His power through us.

Is your heart so filled with love for God that you are watching for the first opportunity to say with Isaiah, “Here am I. Send me!”?

Then come the second demand from us to look away from vanity and be drawn unto Christ alone. Avoid distractors this year and see you on top as we go on steady look out for the greater glory promised us. we must be a willing tool on the hand of our Maker. We must be desire to win souls, to serve and be available to be use by God. Let’s get going:

“Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken Thou me in Thy way.” Psalm 119:37

There are divers kinds of vanity. The cap and bells of the fool, the mirth of the world, the dance, the lyre, and the cup of the dissolute, all these men know to be vanities; they wear upon their forefront their proper name and title. Far more treacherous are those equally vain things, the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches.

A man may follow vanity as truly in the counting-house as in the theatre. If he be spending his life in amassing wealth, he passes his days in a vain show. Unless we follow Christ, and make our God the great object of life, we only differ in appearance from the most frivolous. It is clear that there is much need of the first prayer of our text. “Quicken Thou me in Thy way.”

The Psalmist confesses that he is dull, heavy, lumpy, all but dead. Perhaps, dear reader, you feel the same. We are so sluggish that the best motives cannot quicken us, apart from the Lord Himself. What! will not hell quicken me? Shall I think of sinners perishing, and yet not be awakened? Will not heaven quicken me? Can I think of the reward that awaiteth the righteous, and yet be cold? Will not death quicken me? Can I think of dying, and standing before my God, and yet be slothful in my Master’s service?

Will not Christ’s love constrain me? Can I think of His dear wounds, can I sit at the foot of His cross, and not be stirred with fervency and zeal? It seems so! No mere consideration can quicken us to zeal, but God Himself must do it, hence the cry, “Quicken Thou me.” The Psalmist breathes out his whole soul in vehement pleadings: his body and his soul unite in prayer.

“Turn away mine eyes,” says the body: “Quicken Thou me,” cries the soul. This is a fit prayer for every day. O Lord, hear it in my case this night.

Beloved, is your soul crying “Quicken Thou me,” this should always be our daily prayer as we are imitators of God, live as Christ live. Be a volunteer to Gods course, remember He pays back. He is a rewarder, He will pay you back. Go on weekend bible memorizing practice.

Have a wonderful weekend. See you next week by God’s grace.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.”

Victory is mine, victory is mine, victory is mine today. I told satan get behind me victory is mine today. // I have a light of God in me. I have a light of God in me. I have the Spirit of the Son of God, I have the light of God in me.

Father, thank you for the gift of light in the lives of children who confidently put their trust in You. You are great, Lord. You are Mighty as we study yesterday.

My God is more able to save, He also can make a stony heart repent. When Saul determine to kill David, David ran and King Saul continued his pursuit until God delivered Saul into David’s hands but he hurt him not because he was God anointed.

Hear me child of God satan has no power over you because you are God’s anointed. He will pursue but he will not succeed. Every evil, death, accident programed into your life this year will succeed because you are God’s anointed. He has planned victory and nothing will stop it because if God is for us nothing can be against us.

The victory of the Lord is sweet because you will hold your peace and He fight your battle. The Hand of Lord is Mighty to deliver and to make whole.

Beloved, how terrible art works of the Lord! Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thy enemies submit themselves unto Thee –Lord!

The Lord will surely help us as we place our confidence in Him alone. His promises to us will come to pass nothing will hinder them in Jesus Name.

According to his Word be it done unto us this day forward. Join me as we look into the Word of liberty:

“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.” Rom. 16:20

This promise follows well upon that of yesterday (Gen 3:15). We are evidently to be conformed to our covenant Head, not only in His being bruised in His heel, but in His conquest of the evil one. Even under our feet is the old dragon to be bruised. The Roman believers were grieved with strife in the church; but their God was “the God of peace,” and gave them rest of soul.

The arch-enemy tripped up the feet of the unwary, and deceived the hearts of the simple; but he was to get the worst of it, and to be trodden down by those whom he had troubled. This victory would not come to the people of God through their own skill or power; but God Himself would bruise Satan. Though it would be under their feet, yet the bruising would be of the Lord alone.

Let us bravely tread upon the tempter! Not only inferior spirits, but the Prince of darkness himself must go down before us. In unquestioning confidence in God, let us look for speedy victory. “SHORTLY.” Happy word! Shortly we shall set our foot on the old serpent! What a joy to crush evil! What dishonor to Satan to have his head bruised by human feet! Let us by faith in Jesus tread the tempter down.

Beloved, below is a weapon to help you in the hour of tempter. The Word of God in your life is your weapon against the old dragon. Hold on to the Word and victory will truly be your forever.

If God said it he will do it; yours is to believe that is done. In that situation, those challenges of live God is bruising Satan on your behalf in Jesus Name. The Prince of darkness himself must go down before us in Jesus Name. Let’s get going:

Scripture Memory

IDEA	ASSOCIATION
Scripture Memory	Castor Oil
Scripture Memory	Jogging barefoot up Mt. McKinley with 100 rocks in your back pack
Scripture Memory	Flossing your teeth

There is no command in Scripture to memorize God’s Word. But it is clear that memorization furnishes us with:

Tools for effective service: “The Scriptures are the comprehensive equipment of the man of God, and fit him fully for all branches of his work.” (2 Timothy 3:17, Phillips) (Ever hear someone say, “Well, somewhere in the Bible it says… “)
Victory over temptation: When faced with Satan’s onslaughts, Christ immediately and effectively quotes Scripture: “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God‘… Then the devil left Him… ” (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10, 11).
Obedience to God, and success in life: “This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have good success.” (Joshua 1:8)

Living with Christ in a victorious fashion without gaining command of the Scriptures is like:

Typing with arthritic feet

with wool socks on

upside down,

blindfolded

60 feet underwater – in ice cold sewage

while choking on a clogged air hose… that leaks

as someone shoots at you with a poisonous spear gun

So… What are you waiting for? Get going on your Scripture memory!

Beloved, did you read what it like when we live a victorious fashion without gaining command of the scriptures.

Therefore endeavour to read your bible daily and make some note that will help you at the hour of need praise God. Praise the Lord. Have a victorious days ahead.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

“Mighty to save.”

My God is able, yes! He is able to carry me through. Jesus is able, yes! He is able, yes! He is able to carry me through.// What a Mighty God we serve! 2x Heaven and earth adore Thee, angels bow before Him what a Might God we serve.

Our Father we thank You for everything You have done for us. We are grateful for the gift of life and health You granted unto us, glory be to Your Name alone. Thank You for You are great and You do great things for us.

You are Mighty, Lord. You parted the Red sea for Your children to cross over. A mighty ocean became as a solid ground for Your children to pass through but for Your enemies, You drown, O! God, You are great.

When the walls of Jericho became a hindrance to Your children from inheriting their promised land, You shattered it with a sound of shout from the chosen. You are indeed Mighty to save. I also know that You are able to make whole. Glory be to You alone in Jesus Name.

Beloved, what are your concerns in this year of Greater Glory? Another opportunity is knocking again today at your door, do not waste it. Engage maximally and benefit fully from what the Holy Spirit is bring our way today.

The God we serve answers pray; He is also Mighty to save. The devil mighty want to question you about certain decisions you made concerning your faith, career, business and ministry base on the Word of God as he questioned Eve in the garden.

Your knowledge of what the Word of God says is very important else you will be short-changing yourself as Eve did and that resulted in their exit from the garden of Eden. Beloved, same is still happening in our time because we refuse to take out time to study the Word we exit base on what we received from a third party and when we are highly challenged, we get stuck. And that is a big issue.

Eph 6:10 told us to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Isaiah 9:6 have this to say For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God,… Are you in doubt whether God is able to save?

Come along with me to see what the message of today have to say to us:

“Mighty to save.” Isaiah 63:1

By the words “to save” we understand the whole of the great work of salvation, from the first holy desire onward to complete sanctification. The words are multum in parro: indeed, here is all mercy in one word. Christ is not only “mighty to save” those who repent, but He is able to make men repent.

He will carry those to heaven who believe; but He is, moreover, mighty to give men new hearts and to work faith in them. He is mighty to make the man who hates holiness love it, and to constrain the despiser of His name to bend the knee before Him.

Nay, this is not all the meaning, for the divine power is equally seen in the after-work. The life of a believer is a series of miracles wrought by “the Mighty God.” The bush burns, but is not consumed. He is mighty to keep His people holy after He has made them so, and to preserve them in his fear and love until he consummates their spiritual existence in heaven.

Christ’s might doth not lie in making a believer and then leaving him to shift for himself; but He who begins the good work carries it on; He who imparts the first germ of life in the dead soul, prolongs the divine existence, and strengthens it until it bursts asunder every bond of sin, and the soul leaps from earth, perfected in glory.

Believer, here is encouragement. Art thou praying for some beloved one? Oh, give not up thy prayers, for Christ is “mighty to save.” You are powerless to reclaim the rebel, but your Lord is Almighty. Lay hold on that mighty arm, and rouse it to put forth its strength.

Does your own case trouble you? Fear not, for His strength is sufficient for you. Whether to begin with others, or to carry on the work in you, Jesus is “mighty to save;” the best proof of which lies in the fact that He has saved you. What a thousand mercies that you have not found Him mighty to destroy!

Yes! God is able to save you from all your distractors and make them carrier of goodnews like He did Paul. All you need do is to pray and trust God that He knows what He is doing else we fall into error of Absalom -Taking revenge by ourselves when God had told us that revenge is His. He is able to save from the most unexpected places, things and situations,

The story below will help your understanding further:

“Beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.” Matthew 14:30

Sinking times are praying times with the Lord’s servants. Peter neglected prayer at starting upon his venturous journey, but when he began to sink his danger made him a suppliant, and his cry though late was not too late.

In our hours of bodily pain and mental anguish, we find ourselves as naturally driven to prayer as the wreck is driven upon the shore by the waves. The fox hies to its hole for protection; the bird flies to the wood for shelter; and even so the tried believer hastens to the mercy seat for safety. Heaven’s great harbour of refuge is All-prayer; thousands of weather-beaten vessels have found a haven there, and the moment a storm comes on, it is wise for us to make for it with all sail.

Short prayers are long enough. There were but three words in the petition which Peter gasped out, but they were sufficient for his purpose. Not length but strength is desirable. A sense of need is a mighty teacher of brevity. If our prayers had less of the tail feathers of pride and more wing they would be all the better. Verbiage is to devotion as chaff to the wheat. Precious things lie in small compass, and all that is real prayer in many a long address might have been uttered in a petition as short as that of Peter.

Our extremities are the Lord’s opportunities. Immediately a keen sense of danger forces an anxious cry from us the ear of Jesus hears, and with Him ear and heart go together, and the hand does not long linger. At the last moment we appeal to our Master, but His swift hand makes up for our delays by instant and effectual action.

Are we nearly engulfed by the boisterous waters of affliction? Let us then lift up our souls unto our Saviour, and we may rest assured that He will not suffer us to perish. When we can do nothing Jesus can do all things; let us enlist His powerful aid upon our side, and all will be well.

Beloved, as mentioned earlier make the best use of you time in the place of prayer. No verbiage but that which best address your situation said them to God. God is waiting to hear you pray and He will surely save as He is a Mighty God in battle.

Father Lord, answer Your children as they cry unto You today. We will be careful to return all the glory to You.

Today, you will see and testify that God is able to deliver and Might to save, just engage in the place of prayer.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Unquestionable you are the Lord unquestionable you are the Lord, unquestionable you are the Lord, unquestionable you are the Lord.// Let the living water flow over my soul, let the Holy Spirit come and take control of every situation that troubles my heart, all my care and burden unto thee I come.

Our Father in heaven O! God we bless your Holy Name we worship you for you are God. Thank you for my Father. Thank You for loving me and caring for us. Glory be to You forever.

Arise and be God indeed unto us. As we come into your presence enable us to function in Jesus Name. Empower us from on high and let your anointing flow from my head to my feet in Jesus Name.

Beloved, when God arise in any situation the result is always phenomenon. When He stepped into Mary’s case, it result was an Immaculate Conception. When He asked Abraham to leave His father’s house; He turned him into a Great Nation with generational blessings. When He picked David from the Bush He took him to the Palace to rule over His people. His encounter with Saul turned him from a Murder to Preacher.

An encounter with the Lord will turn you from an Ordinary You to Extra-Ordinary You. Praise the Lord. God’s encountered with Joseph turned him from a Prisoner to Prime Minister. Joseph before encountering the God of his Father, tried to help himself out of the prison but all to no avail. But when God came knocking, Joseph the warder became the Prime Minister in the land of his slavery, by receiving a gift of “interpretation of dreams.” Where toiling could take him, favour announced him. Beloved, what a Mighty God we serve.

Is He also your Father? Moses a stammer encountered God and He made a god unto Pharaoh and used him to deliver His people from bondage. God went with him as He confirmed every spoken words of His servant Moses.

Beloved, what are trusting God for? What are those things that you are believing Him for in your live, family, career and ministry? He is able to do it. He is more than able to deliver and to make whole.

You cannot serve God with a fearful heart because the Spirit of God is meant to make you bold therefore you can call Abba Father. Praise the Lord. Beloved, do you know that the fearful will not inherit the kingdom of God. In Rev 21: 8 is boldly written, so you must be fearless and bold for God. Imagine Moses before Pharaoh the King of Egypt but God helped him. That same God is still alive and available. All you need do is to trust Him and believe Him. He did it for Moses; He will also do it for you.

Come along with me as God turn you into a new man:

“And he said, Certainly I will be with thee.” Exod. 3:12

Of course, if the Lord sent Moses on an errand, He would not let him go alone. The tremendous risk which it would involve, and the great power it would require, would render it ridiculous for God to send a poor lone Hebrew to confront the mightiest king in all the world, and then leave him to himself.

It could not be imagined that a wise God would match poor Moses with Pharaoh and the enormous forces of Egypt. Hence He says, “Certainly I will be with thee,” as if it were out of the question that He would send him alone.

In my case, also, the same rule will hold good. If I go upon the Lord’s errand, with a simple reliance upon His power, and a single eye to His glory, it is certain that He will be with me. His sending me binds Him to back me up. Is not this enough? What more can I want? If all the angels and archangels were with me, I might fail; but if HE is with me, I must succeed.

Only let me take care that I act worthily toward this promise. Let me not go timidly, half-heartedly, carelessly, presumptuously. What manner of person ought he to be who has God with him! In such company it behoveth me to play the man, and like Moses go in unto Pharaoh without fear.

Are you struggling with your Ministry? Grace is available in the house today. Receive grace to function. An auction to be God’s Spoke’s man. Glory be to God.

Ever Feel Like Your Are Struggling With Your Ministry?

Here are a some thoughts that may relieve the pressure and put the whole “ministry” thing in perspective:

It is God in His mercy who gives us the “ministry.” It is nothing we can drum up:

“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the “ministry” the Lord Jesus has given me — the task of testifying to the gospel of God‘s grace.” (Acts 20:24)

“Therefore, since through God‘s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.“ (or “give up“) (2 Corinthians 4:1)

So… be sure the “ministry” in which you are engaged is the same as the one God intends for you. It is all too easy to contrive a ministry born out of guilt, pride, obligation, or even opportunity.

The people to whom you are to minister are a gift from God: Even the men Jesus worked with were given to Him by His Heavenly Father:

“I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.” (John 17:6)

The chances are that if you are operating within your gifts ministry-wise, you will be doing something:

You are good at
You enjoy, and that
God blesses.

So, relax, walk intimately with Christ and see what He chooses to do through you. As one believer put it:

“Well Lord, I wonder what you are planning today. Do you mind if I tag along and watch? Perhaps you‘ll even let me participate in a small part of it… ”

Is possible that you are yet to receive your ministry ask Him in faith and He will disclose it to you. is possible that where you need God’s help is not in the ministry, not to worry God is our helper or you need do is to lift up your hands in worship and let Him have His way in that situation and you will be glad you did. Always remember you can do all things through Christ that strengthen you.

Beloved, let GO and let GOD. Praise the Lord!!!

Remain blessed in the Lord.

I will help thee, saith the Lord.”

Good morning Jesus, Good morning Lord I know you come from heaven above, the Holy Spirit is on Throne Good morning Jesus Good morning Lord.// Lord, You are faithful, Faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful is the Lord. Lord You are faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful you are Lord.

Faithful are You Father of heaven and earth, thank You Lord for you are God, you done great things for us. Thank You for a Wonderful week ahead of us. Blessed be your Holy Name forever and ever in Jesus Name. Lord we bow to Your Majesty, we relevance You forever in Jesus Name. Help us to walk in Your in strength because of own we can do nothing. Let Your Name be praise forever and ever in Jesus Name.

Beloved, how are you doing, hope great? Glory be to God because our God is a great God. He sent His Son to us Who knew know sin and made Him sin so that we can come into His presence and have fellowship with Him. What a wonder you are God.

Our Lord Jesus came down from heaven and went to the cross for us. What a love so profound. God gave His best to us. Beloved, the death of Christ is meant to deliver us and bring us into His kingdom through reconciliation in His death. We are adopted children of the Most High God.

He paid the price and we became benefactors through Jesus that strengthen us. Praise God.

Do want to enjoy Greater Glory as promised us be the Lord. Then you must surrender your life to Jesus and he will help you. Dominion without Christ is Damnation. Having regain your dominion power the next in line is being like Jesus.

Someone is asking, how do I become like Jesus, can it ever be possible? It is possible. Remember everything is possible in Christ. Do you want to be like Jesus? If yes is your answer than you are in the right place. The Spirit of God has promise to lead us this year. All you need be is to patiently fellow as He lead on.

Have you ever read this, there is no condemnation that are in them that are in Christ Jesus. When you get into rheme of what this verse of the bible is saying you will be free forever. No glory outside Jesus because Christ in you is the Hope of your Glory.

Come as we mediate deeply therein:

“I will help thee, saith the Lord.” Isaiah 41:14

This morning let us hear the Lord Jesus speak to each one of us: “I will help thee.” “It is but a small thing for Me, thy God, to help thee. Consider what I have done already. What! not help thee? Why, I bought thee with My blood. What! not help thee? I have died for thee; and if I have done the greater, will I not do the less?

Help thee! It is the least thing I will ever do for thee; I have done more, and will do more. Before the world began I chose thee. I made the covenant for thee. I laid aside My glory and became a man for thee; I gave up My life for thee; and if I did all this, I will surely help thee now. In helping thee, I am giving thee what I have bought for thee already.

If thou hadst need of a thousand times as much help, I would give it thee; thou requirest little compared with what I am ready to give. ‘Tis much for thee to need, but it is nothing for me to bestow. ‘Help thee?’

Fear not! If there were an ant at the door of thy granary asking for help, it would not ruin thee to give him a handful of thy wheat; and thou art nothing but a tiny insect at the door of My all-sufficiency. ‘I will help thee.'”

O my soul, is not this enough? Dost thou need more strength than the omnipotence of the United Trinity? Dost thou want more wisdom than exists in the Father, more love than displays itself in the Son, or more power than is manifest in the influences of the Spirit? Bring hither thine empty pitcher! Surely this well will fill it.

Haste, gather up thy wants, and bring them here—thine emptiness, thy woes, thy needs. Behold, this river of God is full for thy supply; what canst thou desire beside? Go forth, my soul, in this thy might. The Eternal God is thine helper!

“Fear not, I am with thee, oh, be not dismay’d!

I, I am thy God, and will still give thee aid.”

Surely, the Lord is thou helper, fear not. He is going to give you strength alone He will also take away your emptiness and woes, all thy need will be taken care of. For Jesus’s death is not in vain but to the glory be to God. More below:

“The Messiah shall be cut off, but not for himself.” Daniel 9:26

Blessed be His name, there was no cause of death in Him. Neither original nor actual sin had defiled Him, and therefore death had no claim upon Him. No man could have taken His life from Him justly, for He had done no man wrong, and no man could even have lain Him by force unless He had been pleased to yield Himself to die.

But lo, one sins and another suffers. Justice was offended by us, but found its satisfaction in Him. Rivers of tears, mountains of offerings, seas of the blood of bullocks, and hills of frankincense, could not have availed for the removal of sin; but Jesus was cut off for us, and the cause of wrath was cut off at once, for sin was put away for ever.

Herein is wisdom, whereby substitution, the sure and speedy way of atonement, was devised! Herein is condescension, which brought Messiah, the Prince, to wear a crown of thorns, and die upon the cross! Herein is love, which led the Redeemer to lay down His life for His enemies!

It is not enough, however, to admire the spectacle of the innocent bleeding for the guilty, we must make sure of our interest therein. The special object of the Messiah’s death was the salvation of His church; have we a part and a lot among those for whom He gave His life a ransom?

Did the Lord Jesus stand as our representative? Are we healed by His stripes? It will be a terrible thing indeed if we should come short of a portion in His sacrifice; it were better for us that we had never been born.

Solemn as the question is, it is a joyful circumstance that it is one which may be answered clearly and without mistake. To all who believe on Him the Lord Jesus is a present Saviour, and upon them all the blood of reconciliation has been sprinkled.

Let all who trust in the merit of Messiah’s death be joyful at every remembrance of Him, and let their holy gratitude lead them to the fullest consecration to His cause.

In Jesus Name. The death of Christ is our justification before God. is our deliverance from the kingdom of darkness and our freedom for greater glory.

Beloved, did you hear that? The death of Christ is your freedom to Greater Glory. this week is declare blessed in the Name of the Lord. Go in the strength of the Lord and return with testimonies come Friday in Jesus Name. God’s promise is to help you; abide steadily in Him and be blessed.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Trembling at God’s Word

Jesus Jesus Jesus You are the love of my life, Jesus Jesus Jesus You are the love of my life O! Jesus, You are Lord of my life 2x. // Who is like unto thee O! Lord, who is like unto Thee O! Lord, among the gods who is like Thee, You are glorious in holiest, fearful in praising doing wonders alleluia.

Father we thank You for watching over us all through the week. We are grateful, we praise You, we worship You for You are God and there is none like Thee for ever and ever. What a wonderful God we serve. He is faithful, He is kind unto us, loving us with an everlasting love. Providing for us all we will ever need. Faithful are You God.

Beloved, thank God is Friday. How did it go this week? Hope you are still standing strong? God will continue to help you. He will not fail neither will let you down. He that made the heaven and earth and all that is in it will be able keep you and preserve you from all evil.

Yesterday, we considered resting on the promise of God. His promises faileth not. We will hold on God at every Word he spoke to us but it as good as guaranteed. Surer than the money in bank vault. Praise God.

Today, we will be considering how we receive the Word of God. What is your disposition when you receive the Word. Are you lackadaisical, lax or do you trembles at God the Word.

The second part of this message might help to you to have the right attitude when you encounter God’s Word.

As we take time every Friday to consider what we should be doing, our way of life. We shall be doing exactly that today by considering the life of those that has gone ahead of us and how they made it through:

I will look favorably on this kind of person:

one who is humble, submissive in spirit,

and who trembles at My word.—Isaiah 66:2

Do you tremble when God speaks? When was the last time you were physically affected by the reality that almighty God just spoke directly to you? John lost all physical strength when God spoke to him (Rev. 1:17); Paul fell to the ground when Christ met him on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:4); Moses trembled when God spoke to him (Acts 7:32); and Peter, when he realized who Jesus was, “fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, ‘Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!’”(Luke 5:8).

Have you lost your sense of awe that the Creator still chooses to speak to you, His creation? Do you approach the reading of your Bible with a holy expectation, listening for the life-changing words that God has for you that day? Scripture says that “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Prov. 9:10). There are things you will see and hear out of your fear and reverence for God that you will not experience in any other way.

As you study your Bible, you may sense that God has something to say directly to you through the verses you are reading. Take a moment to consider the awesome reality that the God who spoke and created a universe is now speaking to you. If Jesus could speak and raise the dead, calm a storm, cast out demons, and heal the incurable, then what effect might a word from Him have upon your life? The possibilities should cause you to tremble!

The next time you open God’s Word, do so with a sense of holy expectation.

Discipline might be what you need as you read God’s Word. join me to discover more:

Discipline Is The Price We Pay For Freedom

Exercise and diet regularly and you’ll probably live better and longer.
Focus 100 % on one task at a time, and generally you’ll be less frazzled.

Paradoxically, the same holds true in the spiritual realm. For example, when we:

Take the time and effort to abide in God’s Word we are liberated from the tyranny of sin’s bondage:

“If you continue in my word… you will know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31, 32)

Joyfully endure trials, God is then able to forge within us that inner quality of steel belted strength that results in personal freedom:

“When all kinds of trials and temptations crowd into your lives my brothers, don‘t resent them as intruders, but welcome them as friends. Realize that they have come to produce in you the quality of endurance. But let the process go on and you will realize that you have become men of mature character WITH THE RIGHT KIND OF INDEPENDENCE.” (James 1:2-4 Phillips Translation)

Gain control over the dictates of our lower nature we are insured longevity in effective service:

“Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things… Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim… I buffet my body and make it my slave, lest possibly, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified. (literally: rendered ineffective)… for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.” (1 Corinthians 9:25-27; 2 Peter 2:19)

Paul speaks forcefully to this issue of discipline in stating:

“Exercise daily in God – no spiritual flabbiness, please! Workouts in the gymnasium are useful, but a disciplined life in God is far more so, making you fit both today and forever.” (1 Timothy 4:7 – The Message Translation)

I need to ask myself whether I AM WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE OF DISCIPLINE TO ACHIEVE FREEDOM. The toll exacted upon me for the lack of discipline will, in the long run, far exceed the price I now pay for freedom through discipline!

Beloved, are you ready to pay the price? Because what looks like stress today, will payoff you tomorrow. Don’t neglect the Word, do a plan and be disciple enough to follow through.

See you next week by God’s grace. Have a lovely week end as you take out time to search through the Word, confess it and tremble at it as God shows up on your behalf. Those Word will be a blessing to you.

Remain blessed in the Lord.
