Under His Wings I Am Safely Abiding.
Though the night deepens and tempests are wild,
Still I can trust Him—I know He will keep me;
He has redeemed me and I am His child.

Under His wings, under His wings,
Who from His love can sever?
Under His wings my soul shall abide,
Safely abide forever.

Under His wings, what a refuge in sorrow!
How the heart yearningly turns to His rest!
Often when earth has no balm for my healing,
There I find comfort and there I am blest.

Under His wings, O what precious enjoyment!
There will I hide till life’s trials are o’er;
Sheltered, protected, no evil can harm me;
Resting in Jesus I’m safe evermore. Amen!

Thank You Jesus!

Wonderful Grace Of Jesus.
Greater than all my sin;
How shall my tongue describe it,
Where shall its praise begin?
Taking away my burden,
Setting my spirit free,
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;
Higher than the mountain, sparkling like a fountain,
All sufficient grace for even me;
Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame;
O magnify the precious name of Jesus,
Praise His name!

Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching to all the lost,
By it I have been pardoned,
Saved to the uttermost;
Chains have been torn asunder,
Giving me liberty,
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching the most defiled,
By its transforming power
Making me God’s dear child,
Purchasing peace and heaven
For all eternity—
And the wonderful grace…

Who Is This So Weak And Helpless.
Child of lowly Hebrew maid,
Rudely in a stable sheltered,
Coldly in a manger laid?
‘Tis the Lord of all creation,
Who this wondrous path hath trod;
He is God from everlasting,
And to everlasting God.

Who is this, a Man of Sorrows,
Walking sadly life’s hard way,
Homeless, weary, sighing, weeping
Over sin and Satan’s sway?
‘Tis our God, our glorious Savior,
Who above the starry sky
Now for us a place prepareth,
Where no tear can dim the eye.

Who is this? Behold Him shedding
Drops of blood upon the ground!
Who is this, despised, rejected,
Mocked, insulted, beaten, bound?
‘Tis our God, who gifts and graces
On His Church now poureth down;
Who shall smite in holy vengeance
All His foes beneath His throne.

Who is this that hangeth dying
While the rude world scoffs and scorns,
Numbered with the…

ALMIGHTY GOD, THY WORD IS CAST.

Almighty God, Thy word is cast
Like seed into the ground;
Now let the dew of heaven descend
And righteous fruits abound.

Let not the foe of Christ and man
This holy seed remove,
But give it root in every heart,
To bring forth fruits of love.

Let not the world’s deceitful cares
The rising plant destroy,
But let it yield a hundredfold
The fruits of peace and joy.

Oft as the precious seed is sown,
Thy quickening grace bestow,
That all whose souls the truth receive
Its saving pow’r may know. Amen!

Thank You Jesus!

AM I A SOLDIER OF THE CROSS.

Am I a soldier of the cross?
A follower of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own His cause
Or blush to speak His name?

Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize
And sailed through bloody seas?

Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?

Sure I must fight if I would reign—
Increase my courage, Lord!
I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy Word. Amen!

Thank You Jesus!

Now The Day Is Over.

Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.

Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose;
With Thy tend’rest blessing
May our eyelids close.

Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea.

Thro’ the long night-watches,
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.

When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise,
Pure and fresh and sinless
In Thy holy eyes. Amen!

Thank You Jesus!

Now Thank We All Our God.

With heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things hath done,
In whom His world rejoices;
Who, from our mothers’ arms,
Hath blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.

O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us in His grace,
And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills
In this world and the next.

All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The Son, and Him who reigns
With them in highest heaven,
The one eternal God,
Whom earth and heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore. Amen.

Thank You Jesus!

Who Is On The Lord’s Side? Who Will Serve The King?

Who will be His helpers, other lives to bring?
Who will leave the world’s side? Who will face the foe?
Who is on the Lord’s side? Who for Him will go?
By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord’s side, Savior, we are Thine.

Not for weight of glory, not for crown and palm,
Enter we the army, raise the warrior psalm;
But for love that claimeth lives for whom He died;
He whom Jesus nameth must be on His side.
By Thy love constraining, by Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord’s side, Savior, we are Thine.

Jesus, Thou hast bought us, not with gold or gem,
But with Thine own lifeblood, for Thy diadem.
With Thy blessing filling each who comes to Thee,
Thou hast made us willing, Thou hast…

Praise, My Soul, The King Of Heaven.
To His feet thy tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Evermore His praises sing.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the everlasting King.

Praise Him for His grace and favour
To our fathers in distress;
Praise Him, still the same as ever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless,
Alleluia! Alleluia! Glorious in His faithfulness.

Fatherlike, He tends and spares us;
Well our feeble frame He knows;
In His hands He gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Widely yet His mercy flows.

Angels in the height, adore Him;
Ye behold Him face to face;
Saints triumphant, bow before Him,
Gathered in from every race.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace. Amen!

Thank You Jesus!

Prayer Is The Soul’s Sincere Desire.
Un-uttered or expressed,
The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.

Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear,
The upward glancing of an eye,
When none but God is near.

Prayer is the simplest form of speech
That infant lips can try;
Prayer the sublimest strains that reach
The Majesty on high.

Prayer is the contrite sinner’s voice,
Returning from his ways,
While angels in their songs rejoice
And cry, “Behold, he prays!”

Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath,
The Christian’s native air,
His watchword at the gates of death;
He enters heaven with prayer.

O Thou, by whom we come to God,
The Life, the Truth, the Way;
The path of prayer Thyself hast trod:
Lord, teach us how to pray! Amen!

Thank You Jesus!

REVIVE US AGAIN.
We praise Thee, O God,
For the Son of Thy love,
For Jesus who died
And is now gone above.

Hallelujah, Thine the glory!
Hallelujah, amen!
Hallelujah, Thine the glory!
Revive us again.

We praise Thee, O God,
For Thy Spirit of light,
Who has shown us our Savior
And scattered our night.

All glory and praise
To the Lamb that was slain.
Who has borne all our sins
And has cleansed every stain.

Revive us again—
Fill each heart with Thy love;
May each soul be rekindled
With fire from above. Amen!

Thank You Jesus!

Zion, To Thy Savior Singing.
To thy Prince and Shepherd bringing
Sweetest hymns of love and praise,
Thou wilt never reach the measure
Of His worth, by all the treasures
Of thy most ecstatic lays.

Of all wonders that can thrill thee,
And with adoration fill thee,
What than this can greater be,
That Himself to thee He giveth?
He that eateth ever liveth,
For the Bread of Life is He.

Fill thy lips to overflowing
With sweet praise, His mercy showing
Who this heavenly table spread:
On this day so glad and holy,
To each longing spirit lowly
Giveth He the living Bread.

Here the King hath spread His table,
Whereon eyes of faith are able
Christ our Passover to trace:
Shadows of the law are going,
Light and life and truth inflowing,
Night to day is giving place.

O Good Shepherd, Bread life-giving,
Us, Thy grace and life…

YOUR TOMORROW IS GREATER.

Jeremiah_29-11: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end

“For the land you are about to enter and possess is not like the land of Egypt where you are come from, where irrigation is necessary. It is a land of hills and valleys with plenty of rain – a land that the Lord your God personally cares for! His eyes are always upon it, day after day throughout the year”.Deuteronomy 11:10-12 (TLB)

Thank God for the gift of Jesus Christ. His coming changed the face of so many things and gave us access into the presence of God. Can you imagine what that means? That simply means that you and I, by the reason of our salvation, which was neither our idea or paid for by us…

WEEP NO MORE.

Revelation_21-4: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away

“And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.”Deuteronomy 34:8 (KJV)

Dearly beloved, let me ask you: what has died in your life that you are still weeping over? What is that situation that has given you sleepless night and forced you to wet your pillows with tears in the wee hours of the morning? What is that condition that appears so overwhelming that you cannot overcome? Whatever it is, I come to you with a word from God: today your weeping comes to an end.

In the scripture above, the children of…

God Is Too Faithful To Fail.

Psalms_119-90: Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth

“And the Lord visited Sarah as He had said; and the Lord did unto Sarah as He had spoken”Gen. 21:1

Today you probably have a list of things you thought you would have achieved by now this year that did not come through, I come to encourage you not to give up. Understand and settle it deep within your heart that God is TOO FAITHFUL to fail. He will not be faithful; He is FAITHFUL. His name is FAITHFUL. It is not a quality He will acquire tomorrow, it is a part of Him. FAITHFUL is His name. So don’t get discouraged. Don’t bury your head and think it is all over. Delay is not denial, don’t pack up just yet, God has a miracle…

Write The Vision.

Proverbs_3-6: In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths

“And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.”Habakkuk 2:2 (KJV)

I know this is the season of the year when many people write resolutions. Typically, these resolutions go into the trash by the end of the 1st week and if it writer is more persistent, it may go on till the end of the 1st month, but rarely does it extend to the end of the 1st quarter. But today, I am encouraging you to write the vision for the coming second half this year. Like I said in my previous devotional, what do you want to become? What do you need to do to achieve the dream? What steps will you take? Document it every step of…

Put God First.

Matthew_6-33: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”Matt. 6:33 (KJV)

In previous devotion we looked at making plans for the second half of this year and I did emphasise on the need to write down the vision and to regularly review the vision. But much as this is great, you must put God first. Let God be first in everything you do. If you don’t plan how to improve on your relationship with God, you will discover that even the business plans and other plans will fall flat on the ground, because anything not built on God cannot stand.

Remember the story of the builders in Matt. 7, because the house was…

GOD WILL INCREASE YOU.

Proverbs_13-11: Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase

“You will give me greater honor than before and turn again and comfort me.” Psalm 71:21 (TLB)

Today, I prophesy over your life that the Lord will increase you in this second half of 2016. All that you have experienced this year for good will be multiplied in your life in the coming second half. The path of the just, the Bible says in Prov. 4:18, is like shining light that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. I declare over you that your tomorrow will be greater. The Lord who has taken you through this year will perfect all that concerns you this year. He will cause you to eat the riches of the gentiles and in their glory you will make your boast (Is. 61:6)…

Positive Expectations. RCCG Open Heavens. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye.

Jeremiah_29-11: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end

Memorise: The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. – Proverbs 10:28

Read: Acts 3:1-8 (KJV)

1Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

3Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on…
