1 Peter‬ ‭2‬ :‭ 9

But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter‬ ‭2‬ :‭ 9‬ NLT

Isn’t it nice to know that this is how GOD feels about us, He loves us so much that we are HIS chosen people. The world says hold your own and watch out for number one but as GOD’S chosen people we should show the same love and compassion as HE does. Today I pray that we all would show that same love, as hard as it is to remember the mercy and grace that we have been given …… Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5 : 17

GOD IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. – JOHN 8 : 12, MATTHEW 5 : 14 – 16, 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18, EXODUS 3 : 14

“GOD IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. Men crawl through their lives cursing the darkness, but all the while GOD is shining brightly. GOD desires each of HIS followers to be a Light-bearer. The Holy Spirit who lives in you can shine from your face, making GOD visible to people around you. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to live through you, as you wend your way through this day. Hold GOD’S hand in joyful trust, for The LORD never leaves your side. The Light of GOD’S Presence is shining upon you. Brighten up the world by reflecting who GOD is.” 

Scripture

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” JOHN 8 : 12

“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” MATTHEW 5 : 14 – 16 

And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18 

God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” EXODUS 3 : 14

Prayer

Prayer:  Jesus You are the Light of the world—shine through me today. Let Your Spirit radiate from my life so that others may see You in me. Keep me close to You, walking in joyful trust, and help me reflect Your love wherever I go. Amen.

1 Corinthians‬ ‭2 : 2

“For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭2 : 2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Do you take credit for all you accomplish? I believe that we play a certain role to our achievements but Jesus Christ is the reason we are able to have anything. The biggest and only achievement we as Christians should boast about is Christ and Christ alone. Today’s prayer is that we would acknowledge God in all we do and in all we achieve ……. Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5 : 17

FIND FREEDOM through seeking to please GOD above all else. – PHESIANS 5 : 8 – 10, MATTHEW 23 : 8, MATTHEW 6 : 1

“FIND FREEDOM through seeking to please GOD above all else. You can have only one Master. When you let others’ expectations drive you, you scatter your energy to the winds. Your own desire to look good can also drain your energy. GOD is your Master, and HE does not drive you to be what you are not. Your pretense displeases The LORD, especially when it is in HIS “service.” Concentrate on staying close to GOD at all times. It is impossible to be inauthentic while you are focusing on GOD’S Presence.”

Scripture

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. EPHESIANS 5 : 8 – 10 

“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have only one Master and you are all brothers.” MATTHEW 23 : 8 

“Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.” MATTHEW 6 : 1

Prayer

Prayer:  Lord, help me live for You alone. Free me from the weight of others’ expectations and from striving to impress. Center my heart on Your Presence so I may walk in truth and authenticity. Let pleasing You be my joy and freedom. Amen.

2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2 : 16 – 17

“Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say.” ‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2 : 16 – 17‬ ‭

Are you feeling down, stressed, alone today? There is a great comfort in our Lord Jesus Christ, HE has given us an eternal promise that will never fail. Today’s prayer is that we would rest in the comfort of Our Savior and realize man will fail us but Jesus Christ never will HE is always there for us …….. Be Blessed and turn to Jesus Christ

​REST IN GOD’S PRESENCE WHEN you need refreshment. – PROVERBS 3 : 5, ISAIAH 30 : 15

REST IN GOD’S PRESENCE WHEN you need refreshment. Resting is not necessarily idleness, as people often perceive it. When you relax in GOD’S company, you are demonstrating trust in GOD. Trust is a rich word, laden with meaning and direction for your life. The LORD wants you to lean on, trust, and be confident in HIM. When you lean on GOD for support, The LORD delights in your trusting confidence. Many people turn away from The LORD when they are exhausted. They associate GOD with duty and diligence, so they try to hide from HIS Presence when they need a break from work. How this saddens GOD! As GOD spoke through HIS prophet Isaiah: In returning to GOD and resting in GOD you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength.

Scripture

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. PROVERBS 3 : 5

For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength. But you were unwilling, ISAIAH 30 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: God, teach me to rest in You — not as a last resort, but as my first response. Help me see rest not as weakness, but as a way to trust You more deeply. In quietness and stillness with You, strengthen my heart and renew my spirit. Amen.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭10 : 2‬

“He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭10 : 2‬ ‭NIV‬

This parable has always ministered to me, there are so many lost souls in this world and so few telling them about Jesus Christ. Today’s prayer is that we would take the opportunity to witness to everyone we can and tell them just how real Jesus Christ is …… Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5 : 17

GOD IS NEARER than you think, richly present in all your moments. – ACTS 17 : 27 – 28, HEBREWS 11 : 1

“GOD IS NEARER than you think, richly present in all your moments. You are connected to GOD by Love-bonds that nothing can sever. However, you may sometimes feel alone, because your union with GOD is invisible. Ask The LORD to open your eyes, so that you can find HIM everywhere. The more aware you are of GOD’S Presence, the safer you feel. This is not some sort of escape from reality; it is tuning into ultimate reality. GOD is far more Real than the world you can see, hear, and touch. Faith is the confirmation of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality, perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.”

Scripture

God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” ACTS 17 : 27 – 28

​Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. HEBREWS 11 : 1

Prayer

Prayer: Lord open my eyes, my spouse’s eyes, and my children’s eyes, to see You in every moment. Even when I feel alone, remind me that I am forever connected to You by Your unbreakable love. Help me to live by faith, confident in Your nearness, even when I cannot see. Let my heart rest in the truth that You are more real than anything around me. Amen.

‭Psalms‬ ‭31‬ :‭ 14

But I am trusting you, O LORD, saying, “You are my God!” ‭Psalms‬ ‭31‬ :‭ 14‬ NLT

Trust is a character that is lacking in today’s world, to trust someone is to confide your all to them!!! When you truly understand God’s love for you it’s easy to trust Him. Today I pray that we would all put our 100% trust in The Lord and not in the things of the world ……. Be Blessed

Philippians‬ ‭4 ‬: ‭11

Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. ‭Philippians‬ ‭4 ‬: ‭11‬ NLT

Like Paul we should always be content in the current situation we are in. Paul lived a life that by today’s standards would be all over the map, he killed Christians, arrested the Christians, but yet God called him in the highest way. Today I pray that we would all be content with where we are, not complacent but content because God has a greater plan for us ……. Be Blessed
