Have you read the story of the cross, Where Jesus bled and died

Posted on May 17, 2015 by Prayer

1-Corinthians_1-18: For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God

Have you read the story of the cross,

Where Jesus bled and died;

Where your debt was paid by his precious blood

That flowed from His wounded side?

He died of a broken heart for

you

He died of a broken heart,’

Up-on a tree, for you, for me,

He died of a broken heart.

Have you read how they placed the crown of thorns

Up-on His brow for you

When He prayed, “Forgive them, Oh, forgive,

They know not what they do?”

Have you read how He saved the dying thief

When hanging on the tree,

When He looked with pleading eyes and said,

“Dear Lord remember me.?”

Have you read that He looked to heaven and said

‘Tis finished?”

“Twas for thee!”

Have you ever said, “I thank Thee Lord,

For giving Thy life for me?”

May God Bless Nigeria, America And Israel And Take Care Of Us; May God Make His Face Shine Upon Us, And Be Gracious To Us; May The Lord Lift Up His Countenance Upon Us, And Give Us Peace, In Jesus Christ Name, We Pray! Amen!

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

Alas! And Did My Saviour Bleed?

Posted on May 17, 2015 by Prayer

Luke_2-11: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Alas! And Did My Saviour Bleed?

And did my Sovereign die?

Would He devote that sacred

head

For such a worm as I

At the cross, at the cross where

I first saw the Light,

And the burden of my heart rolled away

It was there by faith I received my sight,

And now I am happy all the day.

Was it for crimes that I have

done

He groaned upon the tree’?

Amazing pity! grace unknown!

And love beyond degree!

Well might the sun in darkness hide,

And shut his glories in,

When Christ, the mighty Maker, died,

For man, the creature’s sin.

Thus might I hide my blushing face,

Whilst His dear cross appears.

Dissolve my heart in thankfulness

And melt mine eyes to tears.

But drops of grief can never repay

The debt of love I owe,

Here, Lord, I give myself away,

“Tis all that I can do,

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

Accessing God’s Plan For Your Life

Posted on May 17, 2015 by Prayer

Psalms_1-3: And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper

ACCESS definitions: To Approach, To enter a place of destiny; to obtain, examine, to retrieve (Data/File). To be able to see.

PLAN: Is a detailed proposal, a scheme, strategy, suggestion, action point, to decide, an intention or decision about what one is going to do.

Every Child of God has a glorious destiny

Romans 8:18-19, 28-31.

No suffering can be compared with eternal glory, 2 Cor. 4:17, 1 Cor. 2:9.

1-Corinthians_2-9: But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him

WHAT MUST I DO TO ACCESS GOD’S PLAN FOR MY LIFE

(1). Attitude Determines Your Altitude:

Attitude is a vital component in in the cocktail of life. It is quite difficult to define because it hides behind our strength and weaknesses, but it is about how a person can cultivate the power of positive attitude. In other word how do I discard or get rid of unwanted baggage of self-defeat.

1 Chronicles 4:9-10.

Experienced poverty by birth had a choice to be complacent by blaming his parents for being responsible for his situation.

He could also have blamed government for not providing benefits. But he change his world by embracing positive attitude, he rose above self-pity. He went before God and asked for 4 (Four) Things:

(1).increment

(2). Encouragement

(3). Empowerment

(4). Endorsement.

Failure is an attitude, the account of 1 Kings 19 Elijah was depressed at a certain stage of his life despite been powerful and spirit filled prophet of God. He was full of himself that he went to God in an arrogant manner “I’m the only prophet left in Israel.” God said keep quiet; there are 7000 prophets like you, who have not been used at all. It is only the victims in life that interpret everything in line with the belief that everybody and everything is against them.

The tragedy is that people with lousy attitude don’t realize that is what the problem is. They will blame the workplace as being Unfair, Favouritism, Nepotism, and Discrimination. You just have to do something about it, it is not about being too spiritual, but you must begin to see/view OBSTACLES as opportunities, serve everyone around you with joy. Have your attitude rethought and reengineered as it would move you forward in the direction of your dreams, aspirations and hope.

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

(2). FAITH:

John 1:15-16

The Lord may put you into a situation that may require faith. He wants to take you beyond yourself and teach you more about Himself. When you ask God, do you ask in faith? Faith does not give up. It perseveres even in the midst of discouraging circumstances.

The Woman With The Issue Of Blood Mark 11:20-24.

Little Faith receive little blessings

Proverbs 3:5-6.

(3) LISTEN TO GOD’S SPIRIT:

Of ten times some Christians do all the talking when they pray to God, but take time to hear read through the book of Men Of Prayer e.g Kenneth Hagin, E M Bond and Daddy G O.

We have labour all night Luke 5:8

There is a book written by Bill Hybel Too Busy To Pray. The book will completely change the way you approach God through prayers.

It will add significant component to your prayer life. Learn to listen to God/what God has to say.

When I sit down to pray, I bring the note pad, then write things like:

What is the next step in my career
What is the next step in my family
What is the next step in my marriage’
What is the next step in my education
What is the next step in my finances?

During prayer time, we should meditate on the above questions, and then God will start flooding my heart with ideas and information regarding one and more of these questions. Then I write as fast as possible/as I can as He speaks to my heart. What a glorious experience.

Many times with these great experiences like these God has shown me many times great clarity, what His Will is for my life.

These times are truly life changing. John 10:27.

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

Just Got this email today from Emmale Siakpobi, A Pastor from Edo State, Nigeria. Please The Church Of God He Shepherds needs Bibles Urgently (King James Version Preferably), please assist them and encourage them, and God will reward you abundantly as you do so in Christ Jesus! Amen!

Please We Need Free King James Bibles Urgently In Edo State, Nigeria

LOVE OF GOD

lili joyce <lilijoyce223@gmail.com>

Greetings in Jesus name,

May this letter find you blessed in Christ. I am writing from West

Africa and it is a blessing getting to you in the other part of the

world. It is my prayer that you become a friend of me and the local

church here. I got your email when I searching online and got into the

web site and I know that it is God’s arrangement.

By His grace I am a Believer bought and washed by the Blood of Jesus

Christ. I am married with three children. I am a pastor of a small

local church non denominational or affiliated to anybody. The church

was founded in 2006 and now has about 30 members. I gave my life to

Christ in 1987 when I was still in the high school at Zaria. A campus

fellowship student by name Femi was my roommate at school and his life

of faithfulness unto Christ and his prayer and teaching me the Bible

led me to Christ. This Brother told me then that he sensed that God

was going to use me for His cause. I was never ready to hear that

because my dream or thought was never in the ministry but to finish my

studies and get a nice job. Five years after school and already

working I started having the stronger urge and sensing that God was

calling me but I kept on putting it off my heart because my job and

life was sweet to me and I felt I needed nothing else. One day a guest

speaker was ministering in our church and he singled me out in a crowd

of over a thousand and told me that God has called me to the ministry

and cannot hide. After he left I told my pastor that I have accepted

and my pastor and other elders of the church prayed with me. I

immediately joined and headed the evangelical outreach of the church

and I saw many coming to Christ in the outreach. I let go of my job in

2005 and returned to Edo my State. I joined a small local church and

was assisting the pastor as the second pastor. In January 13th 2007 a

pastor of a little church of about five families in my area walked up

to me telling me that he is leaving the state to his home state where

the Lord has asked him to go and start the work. He said he has been

praying for over a month that the Lord has asked him to tell me to

take over the little church he founded 2006. I have not had

relationship with this pastor before now so it amazed me. He asked me

to pray to ask the Lord. I did prayed and without wasting time I knew

the Lord ask me to hold that little church and that was how I became

the pastor of this church called Victory Chapel. The church is a

growing church and we meet at a temporary rented building. We are

earthly rich but rich in Christ, riches that will last for eternity.

2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman

that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”.

The reason why I am writing is to appeal for your assistance in the

area of a Study Bible which will be of help to me in my research and

study of the bible as well as lesson preparation as a pastor, and

bibles for our aged members. These items are very scarce here. We are

in need of 1 Dakes Annotated Reference Bible. It is a very good study Bible for

ministers of the gospel. Please help me for it. There are many in our

local church who do not have bibles and cannot afford to buy. I want

to specifically make a request for the elderly ones who cannot work

and earn money to buy for themselves. There are 12 of such very old

fathers and mothers in our church who read and understand English and

they are very devoted. Please on their behalf I request that you send

them 12 Bibles the very big letters which is the super giant print 18

point type would be preferable for them because of their sight. We

would also appreciate used bibles provided the pages are complete.

Bibles are needed in King James Version, English. Thank you for

considering this request. And as you help to meet this kingdom need

the Lord will bless you finance abundantly. If you send the bibles

through post office a registered postage the bibles will get to us

safely. I was told at the post office that EMS postage or post office

insured mail is safer and without charge. My home and postal address

is GPO 3971, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria. Please write when you get

my mail. I do not have full access to internet but I can check at

least three times weekly. Ecclesiastes 11:1 “Cast thy bread upon the

waters: for thou shall find it after many days”

Continue to be obedient and the Lord will honour you in His time.

Exodus 19:5, the Lord spoke to the children of Israel through Moses

saying: “Now therefore, if you will obey my voice indeed, and keep my

covenant, then you shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all

people: for all the earth is mine:…”

The Lord bless you and keep you in His perfect love.

In His Service,

Emmale Siakpobi

P.s, Please pray for the persecuted Christians attacked by Boko Haram

Muslims in Nigeria.

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

Man Of Sorrow

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Prayer

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

“Man of sorrows” what a name

For the Son of God who came

Ruined sinners to reclaim!

Hallelujah! what a Saviour!

Bearing shame and scoffing rude,

In my place condemned He stood;

Sealed my pardon with His blood:

Hallelujah’ what a Saviour!

Guilty, vile, and helpless we,

Spotless Lamb of God was He,

“Full atonement,” can it be?

Hallelujah! what a Saviour!

Lifted up was He to die,

“It is finished,” was His cry,

Now in heaven exalted high,

Hallelujah! what a Saviour!

When He comes, our glorious

King,

All His ransomed home to

bring;

Then anew this song we’ll sing:

Hallelujah! what a Saviour!

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

There Is A Green Hill Far Away, Without A City Wall

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Prayer

Galatians_2-20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me

There is a green hill far away,

Without a city wall,

Where the dear Lord was crucified

Who died to save us all.

We may not know, we cannot

tell

What pains He had to bear;

But we believe it was for us

He hung and suffered there.

He died that we might be forgiven

He died to make us good,

That we might go at last to heaven,

Saved by His precious blood.

There was no other good

enough

To pay the price of sin.

He only could unlock the gate

Of heaven, and let us in.

O dearly, dearly has He loved,

And we must love Him too,

And trust in His redeeming blood

And try His works to do.

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

When I Survey The Wondrous Cross, On Which The Prince Of Glory Died

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Prayer

1-Corinthians_1-18: For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God

When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Prince of glory died

My richest gain I count but loss,

And pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,

Save in the death of Christ, my

God:

All the vain things that charm me most

I sacrifice them to His blood.

See from His head, His hands, His feet,

Sorrow and love flow mingled down

Did ever such love and sorrow meet,

Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Were the whole realm of nature mine,

That were an offering far too small

Love so amazing, so divine,

Demands my soul, my life, my all.

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

Arise, My Soul, Arise,Shake Off Thy Guilty Fears

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Prayer

Isaiah_60-1: Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee

Arise, my soul, arise,

Shake off thy guilty fears:

The bleeding sacrifice

In my behalf appears;

Before the throne my surety

stands

My name is written on His hands.

He ever lives above,

For me to intercede;

His all redeeming love,

His precious blood to plead:

His blood atoned for all our race,

And sprinkles now the throne of grace.

Five bleeding wounds He bears,

Received on Calvary;

They pour effectual prayer

They strongly plead for me;

“Forgive him, oh, forgive,” they cry,

“Nor let that ransomed sinner die.”

The Father hears Him pray,

His dear Anointed One:

He cannot turn away

The presence of His Son:

His Spirit answers to the blood.

And tells me I am born of God.

My God is reconciled,

His pad’ning voice I hear:

He owns me for His child.

I can no longer fear;

With confidence I now draw nigh,

And “Father, Abba, Father,” cry

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

Peace on earth goodwill unto men

Was the song of the angels,

Shepherd abiding in the field,

Heard, and herald Jesus birth.

‘T was upon the mount of Judea

There was great light of stars seen

To guide the wise men on their way.

To look for this precious gift.

And the three wise men saw the light

As it was shown unto them

To the child they brought precious gifts.

Gold, silver and Frankincense.

By the manger where Jesus laid

They fell and worshiped their King

In humble they offered their gifts

To Him that brought salvation.

Our Lord Jesus is born newly,

As the year is passing by

In the heart of all His children

As foretold by the angels.

Behold we see the star newly

Like the time of Jesus birth

May His blessing be upon us

As the year is passing by.

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

Awake, awake, all nations

Of worship, love and praise

Wise men brought gifts from

Songs of praise the angels sang

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Prayer

Psalms_91-11: For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

Songs of praise the angels sang,

Heaven with alleluias rang,

When creation was begun,

When God spake, and it was

done.

Songs of praise awoke the morn

When the Prince of Peace was born;

Songs of praise arose when he

Captive led captivity.

Heaven and earth must pass away;

Songs of praise shall crown that day;

God will make new heavens, new earth

Songs of praise shall hail their birth.

And can man alone be dumb

Till that glorious Kingdom come?

No! the Church delights to raise

Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise.

Saints below, with heart and voice,

Still in songs of praise rejoice,

Learning here, by faith and love,

Songs of praise to sing above.

Borne upon their latest breath,

Songs of praise shall conquer death;

Then, amidst eternal joy,

Songs of praise their pow’rs employ.

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

LIKE MASTER JESUS

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Prayer

John_3-17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved

TEXTS:

John 13:1 -16:

1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. 2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him; 3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; 4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. 5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. 6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? 7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. 8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. 9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. 10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. 11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. 12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? 13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Matthew 10:25:

New Living Translation

Students are to be like their teacher, and slaves are to be like their master. And since I, the master of the household, have been called the prince of demons, the members of my household will be called by even worse names!

Luke 6:40:

English Standard Version

A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.

INTRODUCTION:

Every apprentice desires to be like his boss, who in his work displays his level of professionalism and expertise. Hence, from day to day, he watches his master and does exactly what he does. Let us believe the Holy Spirit to take us through the lifestyle of the Master so that we can amend our lives where necessary.

THE NATURE OF THE MASTER

Humility.

Philippians 2:5-7: “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:”

Matthew_11-29: Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Obedience.

Philippians 2:8 “And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.”

John_11-25: Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live

John 5:30 “I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.”

Matthew_28-18-1: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth

Hard Work.

Wisdom.-

Romans_6-23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord

REASONS FOR NOT IMITATING THE MASTER

Following Him From Afar Off.

Mark 7:8 “For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.”

1-John_5-12: He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life

Inability To Deny One’s Self. –

Mark. 8:34 “And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. ”

Distraction.

Luke 18:14 “New American Standard Bible

“I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Romans_12-1: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service

Love Of The World.

1John2:15-17 “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. ”

Colossians_3-16-3: Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. God Answers Prayers

Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment. No Perfect Marriage

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Prayer

Luke_6-37: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven

Comparison Shopping By Barbara Rainey

Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment. JOHN 7:24

It’s so easy for a woman to look at her husband and say:

“He’s sure not very _______.”

“He doesn’t _______ or _______ or ________.”

“I wish I was married to someone more like ________.”

But every time you say or even think something along these lines—every time you focus on those inevitable aspects about him that are disappointing or negative—you catch him in a comparison trap. You forget that God has a plan for your man that is different from the one He has for somebody else’s husband. You ignore the fact that your job is to respect him, to be used by God to help reveal that plan in his life, whatever it may be.

When I married Dennis, I had no idea we would end up doing the kinds of things God has led us to do. It hasn’t always been easy to have Dennis Rainey for a husband. It would have been so easy at times to settle back and say, “I wish he was more like so-and-so,” rather than being content with the one God had given me and helping him develop into the man God wanted him to be. There are so many things that Dennis does well. There are a lot of things he doesn’t. But when I’m lasering in on those things he doesn’t do quite so well, I’m expecting him to be someone he’s not. No, he’s not perfect. Neither am I. Nobody is.

But I believe that God can change your heart as He does mine when I slip into seeing only the imperfections. The key is recognizing what you are looking at in his life and being willing to let God adjust your focus from the negative to the positive.

DISCUSS

Spend some time encouraging each other right now. I’m sure both of you could use some building up.

PRAY

Ask God to adjust your view of each other toward something more grateful and positive.

God Has Called Us To Join An Army That Will Bring The Gospel Into The Enemy’s Territory.

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Prayer

Matthew_28-19-3: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost

Matthew 28:16-20

I think it’s fairly evident that the society we live in is very self-centered, and this same characteristic can be present in a church. Whenever a local body of believers develops an inward focus, its fruitfulness in ministry begins to decrease, and each member’s Christian walk is hindered.

Many believers want their church to be cozy and comfortable. They come to listen to a nice sermon, fellowship with friends, and have their needs met. But God never intended for the gathering of His people to be like a country club; He calls us to join an army that will bring the gospel into enemy territory.

Matthew_28-18-1: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth

An effective church—one that poses a real threat to the Enemy—is a body of discipled people who have been taught the truth of Scripture, trained for service, and helped to mature spiritually. But all this is accomplished for the purpose of going out into the world, not for becoming a self-contained sanctuary of Christian comfort.

The urgency of the Lord’s command and the desperate condition of humanity should motivate us to leave the safety of our Christian fellowships and deliver the message of salvation through Jesus. To avoid this responsibility is to miss the Father’s plan for your life and the opportunity to help build His kingdom.

None of us want to waste time or energy on trivial things and thereby miss the exciting fulfilment of God’s will. He has called us, not to a life of comfortable tradition, but to an adventure of obedience. Answer His call—you’ll help fill His kingdom with people from every tribe and nation.

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

There Is No Fear In Love

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Prayer

1-John_4-18: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love

1John 4:17-19

“Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us.”

We are being raised up to represent Jesus by living godly lives. By faith we have received the love of God in Jesus Christ. Because of this we can stand against fear – which I believe is like a cancer – knowing that perfect love casts out fear. Remember that God is loving and kind – faithful to carry us through even the darkest of nights and the most challenging of circumstances. Every day is an opportunity to renew your mind, body and spirit. When you are under attack, retreat into the presence of God. It is there you will find all you need to destroy the enemy and to persevere and overcome the challenges surrounding you. The Holy Spirit’s agenda is to form Christ in you, and He and Jesus will work together, for the glory of God, as they raise you up to be more like Jesus. Enjoy the process! Ask the Holy Spirit to make you a kingdom minded person!

Colossians 3: 1 – 3 says: “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.”

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

Give Honor To Whom Honor Is Due! Let’s Make Sure We Praise The Key Women In Our Lives Today!

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Prayer

Proverbs_31-30-1: Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised

Proverbs 31:10-31

A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies… She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.

Give honor to whom honor is due! This biblical principle is most certainly true of women, and especially those who are godly mothers. Let’s make sure we praise the key women in our lives today!

Prayer:

Father, I want to thank You for the women who have helped shape my life in a way and helped me find You. Please bless them today, this I ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!
