Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path

Follow the Light

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

Psalm 119:105, NIV

In what area of your life do you need illumination? Discouragement about the future and the direction we have chosen, depression over the lack of fulfillment in our lives, or disillusionment by our previous attempts to find meaning for life through organized religions can all plunge us into the darkness. Do you ever wonder,

“What is the meaning to my life?”

“Why is genuine happiness so elusive?”

“Why do I feel guilty?”

“Why do I feel afraid?”

“Is there a God?”

“Is there life after death?”

God’s written Word and the answers we find there turn our darkness into light. God’s Word “is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.” So . . . follow the light!

Blessings,

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD 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!

God Loves It When You Prosper

Posted on March 24, 2012 by Worldwide Prayer Point

God Loves It When You Prosper!

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause:
yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath
pleasure in the prosperity of his servant
Psalm 35:27

You may be starting to see that God would allow you to prosper, but you
need to take another step and realize that God is pleased when you
prosper. He enjoys it! You’re His child!

A friend began to speak that the Lord takes pleasure in the prosperity
of His servant over his life, substituting his name for “servant.” He
reported, “I said it all day and all night, and before long the light
came on. God takes pleasure in my prosperity!”

If you’re having a hard time grasping that God wants you to have
abundance, speak this truth over your life every day. The light will
come on, and when it does, the devil had better watch out!

Labels and Pigeonholes

Posted on March 24, 2012 by Worldwide Prayer Point

The Water of Life Discourse between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well, by Giacomo Franceschini, 17-18th century (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Jesus and Samaritan woman (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Labels and Pigeonholes

“Jesus touched lepers and loved foreigners and spent so much time with partygoers that people called him a lush, a friend of the riffraff. Matt. 11:19” MSG

Labels… He’s an alcoholic! (Translation: Why can’t he control himself!)

She’s divorced! (Translation: She has a lot of baggage!)

Labels relieve us of responsibility. Pigeonholing permits us to wash our hands and leave.

Jesus took an entirely different approach. He was all about including people! John 1:14 says in plain language, “The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighbourhood.”

Racism couldn’t keep Jesus from the Samaritan woman. Demons couldn’t keep him from the demoniac. The Bible confirms that when the time came, Jesus set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave.

You and I are going to come across some discarded people. Tossed out. Sometimes by a church. And we get to choose.

Neglect or rescue? Label them or love them?

We know Jesus’ choice! Let’s follow his example!

Jesus staked His life for you and I on the Cross of Calvary.

Posted on March 23, 2012 by Worldwide Prayer Point

Resurrection of Christ (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Jesus staked His life for you and I on the Cross of Calvary

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

God stooped down to earth. He came down, down, down into the womb of a virgin. Jesus
stooped down to pick up His cross. He stoops down to lift you up – no matter what
you need. He has, He will, and He will continue to bend down, to stoop down to pick
you up!

You do not need to stand up on tiptoes to reach Him. You do not need to get a stepladder
and try to climb to heaven to get near to Him. You do not need to do anything.

And what a relief that is because for many of us our legs have been knocked out
from under us. Some of us have had the wind knocked out of us. We can barely breathe,
much less stand or climb.

Are you desperate for a miracle? Are you desperate for God to pick you up and deliver
you? From financial ruin? From a collapsed career? From a fractured marriage? From
a crushed heart? From depression? From dependence on unhealthy substances?

I promise you that you will receive the miracle you need! Yes! It will be the miracle
you NEED! It might not be the miracle you WANT. But, trust Him. In time, you will
see it will be the miracle you not only need, but the miracle you ultimately wanted.

I stake my life on this claim. Why? Because Jesus staked His life on it! When He
hung on the cross, He staked His life on the stake of life – the cross – so you
and I could receive the Grand Miracle – and every other miracle we need.

So, hold out your hands. Lift up your face. And pray!

PRAYER:

Thank You, God, for the miracles of yesterday!

Thank You, God, for the miracles of today!

Thank You, God, for the miracles of tomorrow and forever!

Amen.

Jesus staked His life for you on the cross. What is your response to Him for doing
that for you?

God Chose You Too

Posted on March 23, 2012 by Worldwide Prayer Point

God Chose You Too…

Psalm 78:70“He also chose David His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;”

David was known as a man after God’s own heart. It’s no secret that God loved David dearly. Although he wasn’t always perfect, God saw what was on the inside and carried David to greatness. Great news….did you know that God also chose you?

You’ve been on God’s radar since the day you were created and he had you in mind when Jesus went to the cross. Just like David, you too weren’t created to live a mundane or trivial life. You were created to do extraordinary things! The dreams God has placed in your heart aren’t meant to be entertaining thoughts. They’re meant to be your reality. He’s given you the ability to do some incredible things. The only requirement is that you act upon His calling.

To those around Him, David was a small, shepherd boy. He wasn’t a fierce warrior and he certainly wasn’t a King. Yet their reality wasn’t God’s reality. Who they dubbed David to be wasn’t who God dubbed him to be, and when God called he answered.

God didn’t just choose David, He also chose you. He placed in you the desire and hunger to accomplish more than others expect from you. Stop believing you were meant to remain in the pasture. Our God is one of opportunity, not of routine. Look up and start looking out because God chose you too.

Be still and know I am God

Posted on March 23, 2012 by Worldwide Prayer Point

Stained glass at St John the Baptist's Anglican Church http://www.stjohnsashfield.org.au, Ashfield, New South Wales. Illustrates Jesus' description of himself "I am the Good Shepherd" (from the Gospel of John, chapter 10, verse 11). This version of the image shows the detail of his face. The memorial window is also captioned: "To the Glory of God and in Loving Memory of William Wright. Died 6th November, 1932. Aged 70 Yrs." (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Be still and know that I am God

Enter that place of rest.

Psalm 46:10 “Be still and know that I am God”

Silence enables us to experience the kind of intimacy with God we so desperately long for. But it requires a deliberate choice to become quiet. Inside each of us there is a place of silence, and only we know when we are in that place of rest. I challenge you to become still before God, to enter that place of rest.

The Lord is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty

Caricature God

READ: Exodus 34:1-9

The Lord is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty. —Numbers 14:18

Caricature artists set up their easels in public places and draw pictures of people who are willing to pay a modest price for a humorous image of themselves. Their drawings amuse us because they exaggerate one or more of our physical features in a way that is recognizable but funny.

Caricatures of God, on the other hand, are not funny. Exaggerating one of His attributes presents a distorted view that people easily dismiss. Like a caricature, a distorted view of God is not taken seriously. Those who see God portrayed only as an angry and demanding judge are easily lured away by someone who emphasizes mercy. Those who see God as a kindhearted grandfather will reject that image when they need justice. Those who see God as an intellectual idea rather than a living, loving being eventually find other ideas more appealing. Those who see God as a best friend often leave Him behind when they find human friends who are more to their liking.

God declares Himself to be merciful and gracious, but also just in punishing the guilty (Ex. 34:6-7).

As we put our faith into action, we need to avoid portraying God as having only our favorite attributes. We must worship all of God, not just what we like. —Julie Ackerman Link

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—
Oh, Thou blessed Trinity:
One in essence, yet three persons—
Thou, our God, we worship Thee. —D. De Haan

All-powerful, merciful, wise, and just is the God in whom we trust.

You Know God’s Voice

Posted on March 22, 2012 by Worldwide Prayer Point

You Know God’s Voice

John 10:3 says: “To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.”

When we are born again, we have a supernatural knowledge of the voice of God. We know the voice of the Father. We are not carried about by the voice of a stranger, and we don’t listen to our senses. We don’t listen to other people, unless they are representative of the voice of God and the Word of God. And we don’t listen to deceptive voices. We are not moved by circumstances, but we are moved and led by God’s Word. You know God’s voice. Wait upon the Lord. Let Him speak. When He speaks, you say, and you do. There’s where the rubber meets the road and faith is born, when you hear God and you put action to what you hear.

Hear Him!

What is wise to the world is foolishness to God

Posted on March 22, 2012 by Worldwide Prayer Point

Netherlandish Proverbs "The World Turned Upside Down" by Pieter Brueghel the younger after his father (Photo credit: Martin Beek)

What is wise to the world is foolishness to God.

1 Corinthians 3:18-19 “Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness.”

Let no one glory in man! Listen to the counsel of man but always remember that God’s Word stands. Do not put your faith & trust in man. What is wise to the world is foolishness to God. Fear God & obey Him.

See God’s Perfect Will

Posted on March 22, 2012 by Worldwide Prayer Point

See God’s Perfect Will

John 9:7 says: “And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.” Here Jesus made clay and put it on the blind man’s eyes. Then He sent him to the pool to wash. What a miracle when the man saw! Jesus wants all of us to allow Him to apply the truth to our eyes so that we may see God’s perfect will, and that we may see how we should walk and what sin is. God wants us to see the path of righteousness and the path of destruction and sin, so that when we encounter sin we stay away from it. It’s not that God is trying to keep us from joy, but He’s trying to keep us from being cursed. He’s trying to keep us from having the devil lord it over us. And He’s trying to keep us from an eternal hell.

When God opens your eyes and shows you the path of righteousness and His will, then like the blind man you must go and do it. When you do, the world sees that you are a prized disciple. Today, if you know to do right, do it. What you know is wrong, refuse it. You are anointed of God, and empowered by the Holy Ghost. You can do all things. The Holy Ghost will help you mortify the deeds of your flesh, so stand strong; don’t cave in. Resist the devil, and he will flee.

Wash your eyes!
