In God every want is met, whether in life or in death. (Classic)

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Prayer

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

Thou art my portion, O Lord.

Look at thy possessions, O believer, and compare thy portion with the lot of thy fellowmen. Some of them have their portion in the field; they are rich, and their harvests yield them a golden increase; but what are harvests compared with thy God, who is the God of harvests? What are bursting granaries compared with Him, who is the Husbandman, and feeds thee with the bread of heaven? Some have their portion in the city; their wealth is abundant, and flows to them in constant streams, until they become a very reservoir of gold; but what is gold compared with thy God? Thou couldst not live on it; thy spiritual life could not be sustained by it. Put it on a troubled conscience, and could it allay its pangs? Apply it to a desponding heart, and see if it could stay a solitary groan, or give one grief the less? But thou hast God, and in Him thou hast more than gold or riches ever could buy. Some have their portion in that which most men love-applause and fame; but ask thyself, is not thy God more to thee than that? What if a myriad clarions should be loud in thine applause, would this prepare thee to pass the Jordan, or cheer thee in prospect of judgment? No, there are griefs in life which wealth cannot alleviate; and there is the deep need of a dying hour, for which no riches can provide. But when thou hast God for thy portion, thou hast more than all else put together. In Him every want is met, whether in life or in death. With God for thy portion thou art rich indeed, for He will supply thy need, comfort thy heart, assuage thy grief, guide thy steps, be with thee in the dark valley, and then take thee home, to enjoy Him as thy portion for ever. “I have enough,” said Esau; this is the best thing a worldly man can say, but Jacob replies, “I have all things,” which is a note too high for carnal minds.

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!

Mother’s Day may have already passed, but all of the great women in our life are worth more than one day of acknowledgement

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 31:28 “Her children rise up and call her blessed, her husband also praises her.”

This past Sunday was Mother’s Day. It was a day we celebrated the women who are most dear in our life. I can’t think of a more fitting verse to honor them with. If you grew up with a loving mom, who cared for and encouraged you, take this verse to heart.

Rise up and let her know how blessed you are. Especially, if she is still around today, make sure you do so. If not, take a moment to thank God for allowing her to have been in your life. If you are a mother or hope to be someday, remember this verse. Let it be your guide as you tackle the everyday challenges of life. Mother’s Day may have already passed, but all of the great women in our life are worth more than one day of acknowledgement. Whether it’s a mom, grandma or a spouse, remind them again today just how special they are.

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

Passing Judgment On Others

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Prayer

Luke_18-27: And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God

Read: Luke 18:9-14

Bible in a Year: 2 Kings 19-21; John 4:1-30

Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. —Luke 18:14

One August evening in Vermont, a young missionary spoke at our small church. The country where he and his wife served was in religious turmoil, and it was considered too dangerous for children. In one of his stories, he told us about a heart-wrenching episode when his daughter pleaded with him not to leave her behind at a boarding school.

I was a new dad at that time, having recently been blessed with a daughter, and the story upset me. How could loving parents leave their daughter alone like that? I muttered to myself. By the time the talk was finished, I was so worked up that I ignored the offer to visit with the missionary. I charged out of the church, saying out loud as I left: “I’m sure glad I’m not like . . .”

In that instant, the Holy Spirit stopped me cold. I couldn’t even finish the sentence. Here I was, saying almost word for word what the Pharisee said to God: “I thank You that I am not like other men” (Luke 18:11). How disappointed I was in myself! How disappointed God must have been! Since that evening, I’ve asked God to help me listen to others with humility and restraint as they pour their hearts out in confession, profession, or pain. —Randy Kilgore

Lord, may we be quick to listen and slow to speak and to judge. A proud attitude so easily infects our lives. Give us instead a humility that reflects Your heart and love.

We don’t get closer to God by passing judgment on others.

INSIGHT: The story that Jesus tells of the two men who went into the temple to pray reminds us of what God considers important. The religious Pharisee focused entirely on himself and his efforts, highlighting what he did and didn’t do. However, the tax collector, who would have been considered one of the worst sinners of his day, recognized his unworthiness and focused on God and His mercy. Jesus said it was the “sinner” who went away justified before God (vv. 13-14). Jesus wants His listeners to understand that it is not what we do that makes us right with God; it is God who makes us right with Him.

Songs of praise the angels sang

Posted on May 13, 2015 by Prayer

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

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!

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Posted on May 13, 2015 by Prayer

Job_19-25: For I know that my Redeemer lives

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid,

Star of the East, the horizon adorning

Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

Cold on His cradle the dew drops are shining;

Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall;

Angels adore Him in slumber reclining

Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all,

Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion,

Odours of Edom, an offerings divine,

Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,

Myrrh from the forest of gold from the mine?

Vainly we offer each ample oblation

Vainly with gifts would His favour secure;

Richer by far is the heart’s adoration;

Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,

Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;

Star of the East, the horizon

adorning.

Guide where our infant

Redeemer is laid.

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

Matthew_17-20: And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you

Saviour, to Thy lowly bed,

There to bend the knee before

Thee, whom heav’n and earth

As they offered gifts most rare

At thy cradle rude and bare;

So may we with holy joy,

Pure, and free from sin’s alloy,

All our costliest treasures bring,

Christ. to Thee, our heav’nly

King.

Holy Jesus, every day

Keep us in the narrow way;

And, when earthly things are

past,

Bring our ransomed souls at last

Where they need no star to

guide,

Where no clouds Thy glory hide.

In the heavenly country bright

Need they no created light;

Thou its light, its joy, its crown,

Thou its sun which goes not

down;

There for ever may we sing

Hallelujahs to our King.

Christians, awake, salute the happy morn, Whereon the Saviour of mankind was born

Posted on May 13, 2015 by Prayer

John_1-12: Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God

Christians, awake, salute the happy morn,

Whereon the Saviour of mankind was born:

Rise to adore the mystery of love,

Which hosts of angels chanted from above;

With them the joyful tidings first begun

Of God incarnate and the Virgin’s Son.

To you and all the nations upon earth:

This day hath God fulfilled His promised word,

This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord.

He spake; and straightway the celestial choir

In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire,

Thy praises of redeeming love they sang,

And heaven’s whole orb with hallelujahs rang,

God’s highest glory was their anthem still,

Peace upon earth, and unto men goodwill.

To Bethlehem straight the enlightened shepherds ran,

To see the wonder God had wrought for man:

Then to their flocks, still praising God, return,

And their glad hearts, with holy rapture burn;

Amazed, the wondrous tidings they proclaim,

The first apostles of His infant

fame.

Oh may we keep and ponder in our mind

God’s wondrous love in saving lost mankind;

Trace we the Babe, who hath retrieved our loss,

From the poor manger to the bitter cross;

Tread in His steps, assisted by His grace,

Till man’s first heavenly state

again takes place.

Then may we hope, the angelic host among,

To sing. redeemed, a glad triumphal song:

He that was born upon this joyful day

Around us all His glory shall display

Saved by his love, incessant, we shall sing

Eternal praise to heaven’s Almighty King

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

Appeared a shining throng

Of angels praising God, who thus

Addressed their joyful song.

All glory be to God on high

And to the earth be peace;

Good will henceforth

From heaven to men

Begin and never cease!

Thou didst leave Thy throne, And Thy kingly crown

Posted on May 12, 2015 by Prayer

James_1-12-1: Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him

Thou didst leave Thy throne

And Thy kingly crown,

When Thou camest to earth for

me;

But in Bethlehem’s home

Was there found no room

For Thy holy nativity:

O come to my heart, Lord Jesus;

There is room in my heart for

Thee.

Heaven’s arches rang

When the angels sang,

Proclaiming Thy royal degree

But of lowly birth

Cam’st Thou, Lord, on earth.

And in great humility:

O come to my heart, Lord Jesus:

There is room in my heart for

Thee.

The foxes found rest.

And the birds their nest,

In the shade of the cedar tree;

But Thy couch was the sod,

O Thou Son of God

In the deserts of Galilee;

O come to my heart, Lord Jesus;

There is room in my heart for Thee.

Thou camest, O Lord,

With the living word

That should set Thy people free;

But with mocking scorn,

And with crown of thorn,

They bore Thee to Calvary:

O come to my heart, Lord

Jesus;

Thy cross is my only plea.

When heaven’s arches ring,

And her choirs shall sing,

At Thy coming to victory,

Let Thy voice call me home,

Saying, “Yet there is room,

There is room at My side for

thee!”

And my heart shall rejoice, Lord

Jesus,

When Thou comest and callest

for me.

Too often we keep this to ourselves when we should be telling others.

Posted on May 12, 2015 by Prayer

Romans_5-8: But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:8

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

NKJV

Ephesians_2-8: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Ephesians 2:4-5

“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),”

NKJV

Two of the most important words in the entire Bible are “But God.” You and I were dead in our sins and trespasses… but God. The world needs to hear these words… but God. When I see both local and world news, it becomes more and more evident that this world is a mess… but God.

1 Timothy 2:3-4 “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” NKJV

We have to step out of our comfort zones and tell people one on one about Jesus. We have to get Bibles into the hands of those who don’t have them or who have never even seen one. We have to show the love of Jesus by bringing the Good News to those who have lost hope, to those who are living in the mess that has been made of this world. What mess have you made? God is in the business of fixing messes. God will break through the situation if you’ll allow Him. Maybe you know this. Too often we keep this to ourselves when we should be telling others.

Dear Lord,

Thank You for sending Your only Son to die for my sins. Please forgive me for times when I have selfishly kept the light of the Gospel to myself and please give me the courage and desire to tell others about the reason for my hope, which is Jesus. I pray this 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!

Don’t be afraid to ask others for help

Posted on May 12, 2015 by Prayer

Matthew_7-6: Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you

Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him. – Matthew 7:9-11

Are you reluctant to ask for help? You’re definitely not alone. Too many of us are unwilling to admit we need help. We think it’s a sign of weakness. But it’s really a sign of pride and self-sufficiency, both which go against the grain of a healthy dependence upon God and the power of His Holy Spirit in our lives.

God wants to give you good things. He’s hoping you’ll humbly admit that you have needs. Don’t be afraid to ask others for help. Remember, God made us to relate to one another, to love one another. We weren’t made to live life alone. If you’re “the strong” one that is always lending a hand and seeing to it that others are taken care of, it’s hard for you to let someone know you need help, but it’s important that you do.

“Refusing to ask for help when you need it is refusing someone the chance to be helpful.” – Ric Ocasek

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

Love Of Christ

Posted on May 12, 2015 by Prayer

Psalms_25-2: O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me

Psalms 25:15-22

I know the pain of loneliness. My childhood was spent in hospital wards. My adult life has been marked by periods of emotional isolation as well. However, the Lord has never abandoned me to these feelings.

God desires that all people feel connected to Him and to each other. And in fact, we can be quickly comforted when we respond wisely to loneliness.

The first step is to enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. But simply believing He exists isn’t enough. The Lord created mankind for fellowship, which is why a relationship with Him gives people a sense of oneness. The love of Christ forces loneliness out of the lives of God’s children.

Second, we must admit that we’re lonely. Some Christians incorrectly think they shouldn’t be susceptible to normal human feelings. But nothing in the Bible says we won’t endure emotional isolation. Not only men like David and Paul but even the Lord Himself knew the ache of feeling deserted (Psalms 25:16; 2 Timothy 4:16; Matthew 26:40; Matthew 27:46).

Finally, we should develop godly friends. These are the Christian brothers and sisters who will laugh, cry, and empathize with us. Above all, believers need friends who will continually point them to God and pray over them.

We can’t deny feelings of loneliness, nor can we run from them. A person who seeks ways to escape such feelings only broadens the gap between the Lord and himself. There is just one way to close the chasm and conquer loneliness—by drawing near to the Lord.

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

Dear Lord God, I Pray That I Grow In My Trust In You

Posted on May 12, 2015 by Prayer

Psalms_34-8: O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

“O taste and see that the Lord [Our God] is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him.” Psalm 34:8 (AMP)

When David wrote this psalm, he had experienced a lot in his life. He not only successfully battled the lion and the bear as a young shepherd, he single-handedly defeated Goliath, and survived King Saul’s many attempts to take his life. All of this couldn’t have been done without him first developing a strong trust and reliance on God. These experiences were the basis for his belief that the person who trusts in and takes refuge in God will not only be blessed and their success will be desired by others as they receive God’s goodness.

In life you find yourself trusting in a lot of things. You trust that your employer is going to pay you at the end of your workweek. You trust the pilot of your flight that he has the ability to get you safely to your destination. Yet, how often have you been in a situation where you failed to trust in God?

If you can exercise trust and confidence in man who is capable of failure, then how much more should you put trust in a God, who never fails? Trust in the Lord with your whole heart, when you do you will be blessed.

Prayer:

Lord God, I pray that I grow in my trust in you. Let me never allow my surrounding circumstances to cause me to waver in my trust. Today, I take refuge in You and You alone, knowing that there is no safer place for me to be. 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
