The Word has the power to save us from a life of sin but only if we receive and welcome it, will it become rooted in us and change us. If we are to walk in the power of God we need to heed James 1:21-22 and become doers of the Word not only hearers. It is only Gods truths that set us free therefore we need to be obedient.
God we will not fear because You are our Shield and our abundant compensation. In You our reward shall be exceedingly great. Genesis 15 :1
The Lord takes pleasure in those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him, in those who hope in His mercy and lovingkindness. Psalm 147:11. If you judge yourself can God take pleasure in the way you treat Him? I can not.
Lord help me to give you the honour and glory You deserve, help me to worship You in spirit and in truth. Amen. No matter how great the trouble or calamity we face as people who trust in God we are protected by an ultimate stronghold - the Lord Himself. Nahum 1:7 His protection will never fail us. Remember that God is good all the time not just sometimes. Trust Him.
Some times we feel we do not have much to offer in Ministry but as we willingly offer what we have like the boy in Mark 6:30-44 Jesus will multiply it to meet the needs of those in need. It depends on whose hands we put the Ministry. Give it all to Jesus we can not do anything on our own anyway.
God expects his children to be holy because He is holy. Like Grace, holiness is Gods gift. We will never be able to achieve it on our own. Only through the Holy Spirit can we be enabled to live a holy live. Ephesians 2:10 for we are Gods own handiwork His workmanship recreated in Christ Jesus born anew that we may do those good works which God predestined planned beforehand for us taking paths which He prepared ahead of time that we should walk in them living the good life which He prearranged and and made ready for us to live.
Holy Spirit I Pray in Jesus Name that You guide us in holy living and give us the wisdom and streangth to do it Amen The bible says in Psalm 37:1-2 Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness ( that which is not upright or in right standing with God). For they shall soon be cut down like the grass and wither as the green herb. We should not want anyone to be cut down or wither even those who have harmed us. Instead we need to allow Gods love to be poured out in our heart through the Holy Spirit. Romans 5:5
It is easy to quit in hard times it takes faith to go through those hard times. Habakuk 3:19 says that we need to allow our difficulties to help us develop hinds feet meaning He will streangthern us and give us wisdom to walk through our difficulties therefore keep on keeping on move forward through every issue life throws at you remember God is with you always. Heb 13:5
In the fall off 445BC, Nehemiah finished building the wall, Ezra read about the Law, as the people learned about this they mourned and wept, for they realized they had not been obedient to God in this time
These events provide dramatic reminder that God’s word is central to the lives of his people. God’s word provides the essential guide to life or death [Gen 2:16-17], His promises prove to be true [Gen 17:15-21], God’s word is written in stone [Exodus 34:1], and was to be taught by children [Deut 6:7], worn on the hands and the forehead, and written on the doorpost [Deut 6:8-9], so that people would constantly be reminded of what God had said. Success depended on meditating on God’s word and following it [Joshua 1:7-8], Obedience was far more important than giving a sacrifice [1 Sam 15:22] God’s word is perfect, it has the power to restore, make wise and give joy [Psalm 19:7-9]. God’s individuals love God’s word [Ps 119:97], it sheds light on their path, and keeps them from sin [Ps 119:9]. God’s word accomplishes its purposes [Is 55:11] and remains relevant forever |
