In Christ Jesus, I Have Peace With God

Posted on December 1, 2015 by Prayer

John_14-27: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid

1-Corinthians_14-33: For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

In Christ Jesus, I Have Peace With God

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Romans 5:1-2

People often seek contentment by trying to improve their appearance, physical fitness, financial situation, or social status—or by abusing substances. But such things can’t bring tranquillity of heart or mind. Only a relationship with Jesus leads to true peace.

Prior to salvation, we were slaves to sin and living in opposition to God (Col. 1:21). Our transgressions had formed a barrier of hostility between Him and us, which we were helpless to cross on our own. Without God’s intervention, we could not have found the way of peace. But our heavenly Father provided the perfect solution to our sin problem. He sent His Son to pay for our iniquities and remove the separation that existed between us and Him.

When we trusted Jesus as our Saviour, we were reconciled to the Lord (Rom. 5:10) and no longer at odds with Him. In Christ, we have peace with the Father.

Our triune God has provided everything we need for inner tranquillity. The Father opened the way for us to be in His family. Jesus continually offers His peace so we can experience serenity of mind and heart (John 14:27). And the Holy Spirit cultivates the fruit of peace in our lives (Gal. 5:22).

Galatians_5-22: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith

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

I Am So Quick To Come To God In Times Of Need

Posted on November 30, 2015 by Prayer

Psalms_107-1: O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever

Psalms_100-4: Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

I Am So Quick To Come To God In Times Of Need

Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! – (Psalm 107:21)

How like us to forget to give thanks. We are so quick to come to God in times of need. We pray, “Lord, get me out of this” or “Lord intervene” or “Lord, provide for me.” We call on the Lord and then when He answers, we don’t offer up a word of thanks.

Worse yet is when we chalk it up to dumb luck. It reminds me of the guy who was on the roof of a three-story house, nailing down a loose shingle. Suddenly he lost his footing and began to slide. Knowing he was about to fall to his death, he cried out to God, praying, “Help me! Save me! God, don’t let me die! God, do something! Save me!”

Then, as he was nearing the edge of the roof, his belt loop suddenly caught on a nail, which stopped him. This allowed him to grab hold and then climb back up again. Reaching safety, he called out, “It’s okay, God! I got caught on a nail!”

That is how we are sometimes. We say, “Oh, Lord, provide for me. I have this financial need. Lord, You’ve got to come through for me.”

Then the next day, a rebate check for the exact amount arrives in the mail. “It’s okay, Lord,” we say. “The rebate check showed up.”

Do we ever stop and think, however, that God has provided that for us?

Are you giving God the glory for what He has done? We are so quick to ask for His help. But let’s remember to give Him the praise when He comes through. We should be as definite in returning thanks as we are in requesting help. Far too often we call on God in times of crisis, but we don’t follow through with our thanks.

Psalms_113-3: From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised

Psalms_139-14: I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

God Wants To Bless Me Big Time

Posted on November 30, 2015 by Prayer

Ephesians_1-3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

God Wants To Bless Me Big Time

Luke 5:4
When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

God wants to bless you—big-time! It was for this reason that He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” The deep is where you will find a whole lot of fish. You won’t find them near the shore in shallow waters. But to launch out into the deep is to move away from the comfort of the shoreline.

My friend, God wants you to break away from your comfort zone and step out in faith to do what He has put in your heart. It may be something simple, but which you have never done before or only dreamt of, like attending a care group. A church member did just that and found love. Today, she is happily married.

Now, our Lord Jesus who said, “Launch out into the deep…” also said, “…let down your nets for a catch.” Notice that He used the plural “nets” and not the singular “net”. Beloved, God wants to give you more than what you need. His dream for you is bigger than anything you can ever dream of. Dream big and God will exceed your dream because He delights in giving you exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20)

Another church member who was formerly working for someone else had wanted to start his own company. When praying with him, I received a word from the Lord for him to launch out on his own. When he did that, he made a handsome profit at the end of the first month alone! Today, he has more than one company and his businesses are flourishing. God is blessing him beyond his wildest dreams!

Beloved, God wants to bless you beyond your wildest dreams. He did it for Simon who was astonished at the size of the catch of fish. (Luke 5:9) But it was not until Simon launched out into the deep that he ended up with the net-breaking, boat-sinking load of fish. (Luke 5:6–7) You, too, will be astonished at your catch when you step out of your comfort zone and launch out into the deep with the Lord!

Proverbs_10-22: The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it

We Have The Authority In Christ Jesus

Posted on November 30, 2015 by Prayer

Acts_1-8: But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

We Have The Authority In Christ Jesus

“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils “.

Mark 16:17 (KJV)

By reason of the authority we have in Christ, every believer can cast out devils. Now the question is, do you run from devils? After you’ve slept at night and had some bad dreams, how do you react? How do you behave? As for demonic activities, you can’t stop them. You can’t stop a bird from perching over your head, but you sure can stop it from building a nest on your head.

As a believer, you have the ability to deal with the activities of the devil. Jesus has already said it. And He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Therefore, you have no business allowing the powers of darkness to intimidate you. It is wrong. If anyone is supposed to quit it is not you. Others should be afraid of us because we have been authorised by Christ to cast out devils. We must understand that we have authority in Christ.

We are not playing religion. It is real and God means exactly what He says: “[. . .] they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (Mark 16:18, KJV). Do you understand what this means? It is wrong for someone to go to church sick and come back with sickness. Jesus said we will lay hands on the sick. He didn’t say that bishops would lay hands on the sick. He was talking about the believer.

Now, how can you tell whether this thing Jesus is saying is true or not? The only way to find out is to practice it. Go out there and do it. Do it, and don’t wonder in your mind whether it will work or not. The Lord is the One who promised that you could do this. And He does not lie. Do what He said. This is the same thing Mary said to the people in John 2:5, “…….Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it” (KJV). This is how you can partake of the miracles of God. This is how to become a miracle worker. Do what you have read in the Bible.

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
John 14:12-14

And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Matthew 10:1-8

Ephesians_6-10-1: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil

Pastor T.B Joshua Along With His Engineers Will Be Arraigned Today In Court

Pastor T.B Joshua along with some engineers will be arraigned today November 30th before a Lagos State High Court in Ikeja over the death of 116 people in the Synagogue Church of all Nations building collapse which occurred in September 2014.

Joshua and his engineers are expected to be arraigned before Justice Lawal Akapo according to a statement by the Deputy Director, Public Affairs of the Lagos State Ministry of Justice, Bola Akingbade.

The engineers, Oladele Ogundeji and Akinbela Fatiregun, had last year filed a suit asking a court to stop the police from inviting, arresting or prosecuting them over the death of the 116 victims but a Coroner Inquest set up by the Lagos state government indicted the engineers and recommended them for investigation and prosecution for criminal negligence.

Power Of Praise

Posted on November 29, 2015 by Prayer

Psalms_28-7: The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

Power Of Praise

Psalms_9-1: I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

Text: Act 16:25-26

25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.

Psalms_98-4: Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise .Thank You Jesus

Introduction:
In Psalm 24:1 the Bible tells us that, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.”
He owns everything and He doesn’t need anything from men except thanksgiving and praise. Praise means uplifting the name of God and giving Him all the glory.

Psalms_63-3: Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

Why do we need to praise the Lord?

1. Praise brings down the glory of God
Psalm 89:1
“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.”

2. It is God’s command.

3. God inhabits the praise of His people.
1 Samuel 2:2
“There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.”

4. Praise provokes direct blessings from God.
(Psalm 50:23)
“He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who orders his way aright I shall show the salvation of God.”

Psalms_113-3: From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised

Psalm 103:1-22

Praise the Lord, my soul!

All my being, praise his holy name!

2 Praise the Lord, my soul,

and do not forget how kind he is.

3 He forgives all my sins

and heals all my diseases.

4 He keeps me from the grave

and blesses me with love and mercy.

5 He fills my life[b] with good things,

so that I stay young and strong like an eagle.

6 The Lord judges in favor of the oppressed

and gives them their rights.

7 He revealed his plans to Moses

and let the people of Israel see his mighty deeds.

8 The Lord is merciful and loving,

slow to become angry and full of constant love.

9 He does not keep on rebuking;

he is not angry forever.

10 He does not punish us as we deserve

or repay us according to our sins and wrongs.

11 As high as the sky is above the earth,

so great is his love for those who honor him.

12 As far as the east is from the west,

so far does he remove our sins from us.

13 As a father is kind to his children,

so the Lord is kind to those who honor him.

14 He knows what we are made of;

he remembers that we are dust.

15 As for us, our life is like grass.

We grow and flourish like a wild flower;

16 then the wind blows on it, and it is gone—

no one sees it again.

17 But for those who honor the Lord, his love lasts forever,

and his goodness endures for all generations

18 of those who are true to his covenant

and who faithfully obey his commands.

19 The Lord placed his throne in heaven;

he is king over all.

20 Praise the Lord, you strong and mighty angels,

who obey his commands,

who listen to what he says.

21 Praise the Lord, all you heavenly powers,

you servants of his, who do his will!

22 Praise the Lord, all his creatures

in all the places he rules.

Praise the Lord, my soul!

Psalms_139-14: I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

5. Praise moves God to action
Psalm 107:15-16
“Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.”

6. Praise brings down God’s awesome presence
Revelation 4:11
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”

7. Praise makes you get the best from God.
Psalm 48:14
“For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death”

Psalms_108-3: I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations

Choose Wisely, Move Quickly, And You Can Enjoy The Best That God Has

Posted on November 28, 2015 by Prayer

Romans_11-33: h, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!

Choose Wisely, Move Quickly, And You Can Enjoy The Best That God Has

John 15:11-12, “These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.” (KJV)

The story that is commonly referred to as the “Prodigal Son,” is a prefect example of why delayed decisions create great stress and potential destruction.

When this young man decided to leave his father, taking his inheritance with him, he had no idea what his future would hold. He found out quickly…good times do not last forever. After running out of money, no friends in sight, and delaying his decision to return home, he suffered unnecessarily.

The father had been waiting on him from the moment he departed. He had been waiting for his return but the young man continued to delay, feeling unworthy and unaccepted. Once he came to the end of himself and rose from his desperate condition, he went to the father and the father was running to meet him.

Restoration manifested and the boy’s life was intact and he had a future. Do not delay righteous decisions. Choose wisely, move quickly, and you can enjoy the best that God has.

2-Chronicles_7-14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land

God Loves Me, And He Is Always Looking Out For My Eternal Benefit

Posted on November 28, 2015 by Prayer

Isaiah_55-8: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD

God Loves Me, And He Is Always Looking Out For My Eternal Benefit

For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! – (2 Corinthians 4:17)

To give thanks, we must realize as Christians that God is in control of all circumstances that surround our lives, both good and bad.

In 2 Corinthians 4:17–18 we are told, “For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.”

The apostle Paul also wrote, “And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love” (Romans 8:38). God loves you, and He is always looking out for your eternal benefit. God is wiser than we are. And if He tells us to not do something, He does so for good reason.

Now, the Devil doesn’t want you to believe that. He would whisper in your ear, “God hates you. God wants to ruin your life. All those rules in the Bible are just there to make life miserable. You Christians serve an oppressive God who doesn’t want you to have any fun.”

What a bunch of nonsense. I’ve lived apart from Christ. I’ve had the so-called fun this world has to offer, and it wasn’t fun at all. I’ve also found that a life with Christ is a life of fulfillment and purpose.

We must realize that God loves us and is always looking out for our eternal benefit, even if what we are presently going through is difficult.

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

Thank You Lord God Almighty

Posted on November 28, 2015 by Prayer

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Thank You Lord God Almighty

“So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, ‘Father, I thank you that you have heard me.’” – John 11:41

Jesus had a friend named Lazarus who died of an illness. By the time Jesus arrived at the home of Lazarus’s grieving sisters, Mary and Martha, Lazarus had been dead for four days, and his body was sealed in a tomb with a large, heavy stone.

Jesus did something that puzzled and then astonished the mourners. He asked for the stone to be rolled away, and He thanked His Father for hearing His prayer. Then Jesus commanded Lazarus to come out, and he did—wrapped in grave clothes, but alive as the day he was born!

Jesus gave thanks before God raised Lazarus from the dead, but sometimes you and I get things turned around. We pray for those who are in prison, spiritually dead, to turn away from hard-heartedness and find new life, but we only give thanks after we have seen them change. We pray for families who grieve the loss of their loved ones to a prison sentence, but we only give thanks after they are healed and restored. We beseech God for the passage of restorative criminal-justice reform, but we only give thanks after new laws are enacted.

Jesus’ thanksgiving wasn’t just a token of gratitude to God; it prepared the way for miracles that would follow. Today, I challenge us all to follow Jesus’ model. Let’s give thanks before we see the miracles of resurrection, transformation, and healing. Let’s praise Him for hearing us all the time, and then watch with expectation for Him to bring the spiritually dead to new life through His Son.

Psalms_107-1: O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever

God Will Make My Way Prosperous And Give Me Good Success

Posted on November 28, 2015 by Prayer

Joshua_1-8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success

God Will Make My Way Prosperous And Give Me Good Success

But Ye Are A Chosen Generation, A Royal Priesthood, An Holy Nation, A Peculiar People; That Ye Should Shew Forth The Praises Of Him Who Hath Called You Out Of Darkness Into His Marvellous Light;
1 Peter 2:9

God Calls Us “A Royal Priesthood”. This Means That We Are Kings As Well As Priests Under The King-Priesthood Of Jesus Christ. This Has Never Happened Before In The History Of God’s People. In The Old Testament, Kings And Priests Were Two Distinct Groups Of People. You Were Either A King Or Priest, But Not Both At The Same Time.

Today, Because We Are In Christ, We Are King-Priests—A Royal Priesthood. This Means That We Have A Double Portion Of Speaking Power Because As Kings, “Where The Word Of A King Is, There Is Power” (Ecclesiastes 8:4), And As Priests, “By Their Word Every Controversy And Every Assault Shall Be Settled”. (Deuteronomy 21:5)

So If You Are A Christian Businessman, You Will Have An Edge Over Worldly Businessmen. What You Say About Your Business Deals Will Come To Pass. And If You Are Falsely Accused, Know That By Your Very Word, Every Controversy And Every Assault Will Be Settled!

And As A King-Priest Parent, When You Bless Your Children, Your Words Have The Power To Set In Motion Supernatural Events Which Will Bring Them Into God’s Abundance And Super Abounding Grace. And There Will Be Such A Courage And Resilience About Them That It Will Empower Them To Win The Fights Of Life!

When The Devil Comes To You And Says That You Will Die Young Because Your Father And Grandfather Died Young, Or That You Will Never Be Successful Because You Are Not Well-Educated, You Must Remember That The Devil Is Neither A King Nor A Priest. There Is No Power In His Words. But There Is Power In Yours Because You Are A King-Priest In Christ!

So Instead Of Agreeing With Him, Believe And Declare, “I Will Not Die Young. With Long Life He Will Satisfy Me And Show Me His Salvation!” Say, “The Lord Will Make My Way Prosperous And Give Me Good Success!” Use Your Double Portion Of Speaking Power And See These Blessings Come To Pass!

God Did Not Save You To Be A Disgrace

Posted on November 28, 2015 by Prayer

Deuteronomy_31-6: Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

God Did Not Save You To Be A Disgrace

“Be Careful For Nothing; But In Everything By Prayer And Supplication With Thanksgiving Let Your Requests Be Made Known Unto God.”

Philippians 4:6 (KJV)

The Children Of Israel Were Supernaturally Brought Out Of Egypt By The Mighty And Outstretched Hand Of God. God Is Always Doing Something Even If He Is Not Speaking. When Heaven Appears To Be Brass And The Earth Iron, There Is Still Something Moving In The Circumstances Of Your Life. He Is Not Leaving You, For He Said, “I Will Not Leave You Or Forsake You.” He Is With You Until The End Of The World. God Always Brings You Out To Bring You In. He Didn’t Save You To Be A Disgrace. He Didn’t Save You So That You Would Become A Question Mark Or A Reproach. He Did Not Save You For People To Mock You. God Has Prepared A Great Destiny For You; You Will Fulfil It. Do Not Worry Even If It Seems Like Things Are Not Working. God Can Change Where You Are Overnight! Something Is About To Happen In Your Life. The Beauty Of It Is That When God Gets To Your Case A Miracle Will Take Place. He Will Hasten To Restore The Wasted Years. Your Salvation Will Not End Without You Fulfilling Your Destiny.

Jesus, Despite The Raging Of The Storm, Was Not Anxious. Everything Jesus Did Was A Lesson In And Of Itself. Remember That He Stripped Himself Of The Honour And Glory To Be Totally Human. He Slept While His Disciples Were Anxious. You Should Sleep, Because You Can’t Work Out Anything By Yourself. Let God Do The Work.

He Knows What You Are Going Through; Even Our High Priests Can Be Touched With The Feeling Of Our Infirmities And Can Be Tempted Like We Are. This Is Why Jesus Came. He Came Down To Sit Where You Sit So That He Would Be Qualified To Die On Your Behalf. He Couldn’t Have Stayed Comfortably In Heaven And Told Us How To Overcome Temptation, Anxiety, And Pressure In An Effective Manner. You Can’t Understand How Others Feel Until You Sit Where They Do. So He Came And Sat Where We Sat And Felt What We Felt.

Enough Of The Anxiety! Your Hands Cannot Be Where God’s Hands Are At The Same Time. He’ll Never Share His Glory With Another. Your Part Is To Carry Out Every Instruction He Gives You. Leave Everything In His Hands.

Mark 4:36-41

36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

Hebrews_13-5:Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

One There Is Above All Others. Jesus.

Posted on November 26, 2015 by Prayer

Ephesians_4-6: One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all

One There Is Above All Others.

Oh, How He Loves!
His Is Love Beyond A Brother’s,
Oh. How He Loves!
Earthly Friends May Fail Or Leave Us.
One Day Soothe – The Next Day Grieve Us,
But This Friend Will Never Deceive Us,
Oh, How He Loves!

‘Tis Eternal Life To Know Him,
Oh, How He Loves!
Think. O Think How Much We Owe Him,
Oh, How He Loves!
With His Precious Blood He Bought Us,
In The Wilderness He Sought Us,
To His Fold He Safely Brought Us,
Oh How He Loves!

We Have Found A Friend In Jesus,
Oh, How He Loves!
‘Tis His Great Delight To Bless Us,
Oh, How He Loves!
How Our Hearts Delight To Hear
Him;
Bid Us Dwell In Safety Near Him?
Why Should We Distrust Or Fear
Him?
Oh, How He Love!

Through His Name We Are Forgiven,
Oh, How He Loves!
Backward Shall Our Foes Be Driven,
Oh, How He Loves!
Best Of Blessings He’ll Provide Us
Nought But Good Shall Ever Betide Us,
Safe To Glory He Will Guide Us,
Oh, How He Loves! Amen!

I Want To Be Like Jesus.

Posted on November 26, 2015 by Prayer

Genesis_1-26: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth

I Want To Be Like Jesus.

So Lowly And So Meek
For No One Marked An Angry Word,
That At Ever Heard Him Speak.

I Want To Be Like Jesus,
So Frequently In Prayer:
Alone Up The Mountain Top,
He Met His Father There.

I Want To Be Like Jesus,
I Never, Never Find
That He, Though Persecuted Was
To Any One Unkind.

I Want To Be Like Jesus,
Engaged In Doing Good;
So That Of Me It May Be Said
‘He Hath Done What He Could,”

I Want To Be Like Jesus,
Who Sweetly Said To All,
“Let Little Children Come To Me;”
I Would Obey The Call.

But Oh I’m Not Like Jesus,
As Any One May See;
O Gentle Saviour, Send Thy Grace,
And Make Me Like To Thee. Amen!

1-Samuel_2-2: There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God

Jesus Is Our Shepherd.

Posted on November 26, 2015 by Prayer

Psalms_23-1: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want

Jesus Is Our Shepherd.

Wiping Every Tear;
Folded In His Bosom,
What Have To Fear?
Only Let Us Follow
Whither Ho Doth Lead,
To The Thirsty Desert
Or The Dew Mead.

Jesus Is Our Shepherd;
Well We Know His Voice;
How Its Gentle Whisper
Makes Our Heart Rejoice
Even When He Chideth,
Tender Is His Tone;
None But He Shall Guide Us;
We Are His Alone.

Jesus Is Our Shepherd:
For The Sheep He Bled;
Every Lamb Is Sprinkled
With The Blood He Shed:
Then On Each He Setteth
His Own Secret Sign:
‘They That Have My Spirit,
‘These,” Saith He, ‘Are Mine.”

Jesus Is Our Shepherd;
Guarded By His Arm,
Though The Wolves May Raven,
None Can Do Us Harm:
When We Tread Death’s Valley,
Dark With Fearful Gloom,
We Will Fear No Evil,Victors Over The Tomb. Amen!

John_10-11: I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

Do No Sinful Action.

Posted on November 25, 2015 by Prayer

Psalms_89-1-2: I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations

Do No Sinful Action.

Speak No Angry Word.
Ye Belong To Jesus,
Children Of The Lord.

Christ Is Kind And Gentle
Christ Is Pure And True;
And His Little Children
Must He Holy Too.

There’s A Wicked Spirit
Watching Round You Still,
And He Tries To Tempt You,
To All Harm And ill.

But Ye Must Not Hear Him,
Though ‘Tis Hard For You
To Resist The Devil,
And The Good To Do.

For Ye Promised Truly
In Your Infant Days
To Renounce Him Wholly
Bad Forsake His Ways.

Ye Are Christians Soldiers,
Ye Must Learn To Fight
With The Bad Within You
And To Do The Right.

Christ Is Your Own Master,
He Is Good And True,
And His Little Children
Must Be Holy Too. Amen!

Around The Throne Of God In Heaven.

Posted on November 25, 2015 by Prayer

Hebrews_4-16: Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. .God’s Throne Of Grace

Around The Throne Of God In Heaven.

Thousands Of Children Stand;
Children Whose Sins Are All Forgiven,
A Holy, Happy Band.

Singing: Glory, Glory, Glory
Singing: Glory, Glory, Glory

In Flowing Robes Of Spotless White
See Every One Arrayed
Dwelling In Everlasting Light
And Joys That Never Fade.

What Brought Them To That World Above?
That Heaven So Bright And Fair,
Where All Is Peace, And Joy, And Love;
How Came Those Children There?

Because The Savior Shed His Blood
To Wash Away Their Sin;
Bathed In That Pure And Precious Flood,
Behold Them White And Clean.

On Earth They Sought The Saviour’s Grace
On Earth They Loved His Name;
So Now They See His Blessed Face,
And Stand Before The Lamb.

And Is That Fountain Flowing Yet?
Blessed Savior, Lead Us There;
That We Those Happy Ones May Meet,
And In Their Praises Share. Amen!

Hebrews_12-2: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God
