“For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin” Romans 6:6 NIV
Are you finding yourself dabbling in sin? The reality is your sin nature was done away with when you made Jesus the Lord of your life. The world will try to convince you it’s ok, but you know that the wages of sin is death. Today’s prayer is that when temptation arises we would pray for strength to overcome In Jesus Name……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
“LET GOD HELP YOU through this day. The challenges you face are far too great for you to handle alone. You are keenly aware of your helplessness in the scheme of events you face. This awareness opens up a choice: to doggedly go it alone or to walk with GOD in humble steps of dependence. Actually, this choice is continually before you, but difficulties highlight the decision-making process. So, consider it all joy whenever you are enveloped in various trials. These are gifts from GOD, reminding you to rely on GOD alone.”
Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. PSALM 63 : 7 – 8
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness JAMES 1 : 2 – 3
Prayer: Lord help me thrive today by relying on you. You are my constant help in times of trouble and my joy despite any circumstance. Your mercy and grace chase after me all the days of my life. Thank you Jesus. In your name I pray. Amen.
“Jesus replied with a story: “A Jewish man was traveling from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road. “By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by. A Temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side. “Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him. The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the next time I’m here.’ “Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked. The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy.” Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same.”” Luke 10:30-37 NLT
This has always been one of my favorite stories in the Bible. This shows the ultimate level of compassion. The last person you would have thought would care for the man did, and the two you would have thought for sure did not. How do you act in these situations? Do you ignore someone in need or do you lend a helping hand? Today’s prayer is that we would all lend a helping hand to someone in need, the world cannot believe in a savior when we as Christians do not show the love of Jesus……… 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
“CONTINUE ON THIS PATH WITH GOD, enjoying GOD’s Presence even in adversity. GOD is always before you, as well as alongside you. See The LORD beckoning to you: “Come! Follow Me”. GOD who goes ahead of you, opening up the way, is the same One who stays close and never lets go of your hand. GOD is not subject to limitations of time or space. GOD is everywhere at every time, ceaselessly working on your behalf. That is why your best efforts are trusting The LORD and living close to HIM.”
Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. HEBREWS 7 : 25
Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. PSALM 37 : 3 – 4
Prayer: Lord you are so good to me. Thank you for going ahead of me, making a path and staying close to me at all times. With you on my side there is nothing I am lacking and nothing I should worry about or fear. Help me to share your incredible love with those around me today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross. This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault. Colossians 1:19-22 NLT
Isn’t it nice to know that as believers Jesus has brought us into good standing before almighty God!!!! Under the covenant of Grace And by the Blood of Jesus we have been saved from eternal suffering. Today I pray that we all would embrace just how much God loves us, and remember it’s not what we can do for God, it’s what God has done for us…..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
“So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 NLT
Do you ever feel like your work for the Lord is all for nothing? Do you feel like you’re not reaching anyone? This scripture tells us that all of our witness does and will reach the people. We will probably never know what impact we may have had on someone, but the Lord knows. Today’s prayer is that we would never give up telling people what Jesus has done in our life and will do in there’s ……. 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
“The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.” Proverbs 18:10
Where do you seek out your refuge? Who do you go to with every situation? The Lord is a strong tower for us and every situation that we have. We can never have too much for God almighty to handle. Today’s prayer is that we would seek our refuge from the Lord, not the world……..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 LOVES YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE, not for what you do. Many voices vie for control of your mind, especially when you sit in silence. You must learn to discern what is GOD’S voice and what is not. Ask The LORD’S Holy Spirit to give you this discernment. Many of GOD’s children run around in circles, trying to obey the various voices directing their lives. This results in fragmented, frustrating patterns of living. Do not fall into this trap. Walk closely with The LORD each moment, listening for HIS directives and enjoying HIS Companionship. Refuse to let other voices tie you up in knots. GOD’S sheep know GOD’S voice and follow GOD wherever HE leads.”
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. EPHESIANS 4 : 1 – 6
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. JOHN 10 : 4
Prayer: Lord help me to discern your voice. To know with certainty when you speak to me whether that’s through your word, your still small voice inside my heart, through peace, or through Godly people that it’s your voice, your words. And then help me to obey. In sweet Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.” 1 John 4:11 NLT
Do you ever find yourself judging or condemning the actions of another brother or sister in Christ? Do you believe that God is the only judge? And last but not least should we not council a brother or sister to remind them of God’s expectations for our life? I believe it is easy to judge others but if we take a step back and look in the mirror we also need some counsel. Today’s prayer is that we would council with instruction, not destruction!!! Love them as God loves……. 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
“THE LORD IS THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE; all lasting Life emanates from HIM. People search for life in many wrong ways: chasing after fleeting pleasures, accumulating possessions and wealth, trying to deny the inevitable effects of aging. Meanwhile, GOD freely offers abundant Life to everyone who turns toward HIM. As you come to The LORD and take HIS yoke upon you, GOD fills you with HIS very Life. This is how GOD chooses to live in the world and accomplish HIS purposes. This is also how GOD blesses you with Joy unspeakable and full of Glory. The Joy is GOD’s, and the Glory is GOD’s; but GOD bestows them on you as you live in HIS Presence, inviting The LORD to live fully in you.”
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.” JOHN 11 : 25
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 29
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 1 PETER 1 : 8 – 9 (KJV)
Prayer: Jesus thank you for making a way for me to have eternal life with you. And not only later, but you offer me abundant life here and now, to the extent to which I surrender and follow you. Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. Thank you sweet Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
