Encourage Others – Pastor David’s Devotional

From:

theword@aboutthebridge.com

Through the Bible…

Morning:        1 Kings 10, 11

Evening: Luke 24:1-35

Proverb: Proverbs 5

Romans 14:19 NKJV

Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another.

Have you ever seen two kids building sandcastles together in the sand? Typically, one likes to build while the other one comes by and stomps it, especially if they are siblings. One builds up, and the other takes joy in tearing down. Why? Mostly, it is for the reaction. Christians can do this as well. Worship, music, food, and dress are minor issues that many love to argue about. What does it do? It distracts from the Gospel.

Doing things just to offend or argue is wrong. God is at work in our lives at different speeds and times. “I get it; why don’t you get it?” That is a prideful statement. It is probable that another brother or sister “gets it” in other ways better than you do. That is how it works. We fit together and cause each other to grow. The church is made of individual people with individual gifts, and no one person is the whole church. We should build one another up, and we will be encouraged to do so as well. What if the church, at large, really did Romans 14:19? Let’s start and see.

Life Lesson:  

We should encourage others.

Dear God,

Thank You for loving me and for the many individual gifts that make up the body of Christ. Lord, help me put off disagreements and value others. Forgive me when I have caused division and strife. Give me the spirit to be a blessing to someone else today.

In Jesus Christ Mighty Name! Amen.

If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Dear,

Here is your wisdom for today:

THE WORD OF GOD WILL PROSPER IN YOUR LIFE

“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth. it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11 KJV)

The bible tells us that God magnifies His word above His name (Psalms 138:2). And He says, “My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.”(Psalms 89:34 KJV) Your part is to just believe and receive the Word and see it work in your life. The Word has no margin for failure. When He sent His Word into a world without form and void, filled with darkness and chaos, that Word of God was what framed the world. Therefore, nothing can stop His word from prospering in your life.

As far as God is concerned, you are under blessing and not under curse. You are not under poverty. The curse of poverty is broken over your life. The curse of failure, disappointment and intimidation is broken over your life. Your life will produce the harvest of every positive word that you has been spoken over your life. No matter the challenges and obstacles on your pathway, you will do great and mighty things, success is your portion. Your strength is renewed and you are refreshed by His Spirit.

What has been difficult for you, shall become easy for you to achieve. The rough paths, shall be made smooth. There shall be restoration of everything that has been stolen from you. Your spiritual life, family, business, finance, marriage, health, academics, career shall be restored. Where they have rejected you and made things tough for you, God will overrule in your favor.

Mark 16:3-4

 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

We should learn a great lesson from this. Make an attempt, don’t just assume. The outcome will pleasantly surprise you. That project you do not want to start until all is ready, who told you that God cannot open doors for you mid-way? Your fear is unfounded, trust God and believe in His word.   He is trustworthy.

 PRAY:

 Father, without faith it is impossible to please You. Help me not to nurse unfounded fear in Jesus name.  Amen.

 Enjoy A Faithful Friday

Mark_9-23-1: Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth

1: CHILDREN of the heavenly king,

As ye journey, sweetly sing;

Sing your Saviour’s worthy praise,

Glorious in His works and ways.

2: We are traveling home to God

In the way the fathers trod;

They are happy now, and we

soon their happiness shall see.

3: Sing, ye little flock and blest;

You on Jesus’ throne shall rest;

There your seat is now prepared,

There your kingdom and reward.

4: Lift your eyes, ye sons of light;

Zion’s city is in sight;

There our endless home shall be,

There our Lord we soon shall see.

5: Fear not, brethren; joyful stand

On the borders of your land;

Jesus Christ, your Father’s Son,

Bids, you undismay’d go on.

6: Lord, obediently we go,

Gladly leaving all below:

Only Thou our Leader be,

And we still will follow Thee.

Thank You Jesus,

Lean on God in Difficult Times: Finding Strength in Faith

Lean on God in Difficult Times

Challenges are a part of life. They come to everyone. They test our strength and faith. No matter what challenges you’re going through, you will overcome. Don’t lose hope. Keep your faith in God.

Challenges don’t last forever. This storm you’re facing will end. There’re better days ahead. This storm will leave you stronger. Keep moving forward. Hard times come to teach us enduring lessons.

Struggles shape us into who we are meant to be. They teach us resilience. Struggles make us wiser. They help us grow. Each struggle has a purpose. Embrace them as part of your life journey.

Every obstacle is an opportunity to grow. Obstacles push us out of our comfort zones. They test our limits. Each obstacle teaches something new. Don’t fear them. Face obstacles with courage.

Life will test you, but you are stronger than you think. Every challenge helps you to grow. Trust God every step of the way. Keep your faith, and rise above every storm. You are destined for greatness.

Thank You Jesus,
