Second Week January 2020

Friday  10th January 2020.

The right kind of people for God.
“On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭2:17‬ ‭NIV‬‬
Have you ever felt like you are too far, too dirty, too guilty to come to God?
His word today reminds us that we are the right people for Him. It’s not those who are healthy that He came for but those who are sick, so they can receive healing. Those who can’t make it on their own: stuck, bound, rejected, broken, bruised, tainted, guilty, weak, tormented, abused, condemned… that sounds like us. God never expect us to be clean and perfect on our own strength before coming to Him. And The enemy always tries to convince us to hide away from God because we are not worthy. Whatever our sins and trespasses or iniquities, even as born again Christian, his redeeming grace is always available for all of us when we humble ourselves In His Mighty hand. For Only God, through Jesus can make us whole again.
Jesus came so we can have freedom and life and have it to the fullest ( John 10:10) through His redeeming sacrifice.
So today let us approach His throne of grace in confidence ( Hebrews 4:16) and give it all to Him so we can rest. (Matthew 11:28).
Prayer: Heavenly Father, the flight is over. Thank you for sending your Word, to heal and set us free. From now on, We choose to run towards you not away from you, for all we need is found in you.
In Jesus name.

God « IAM »
“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬
We serve a living God, a God who is, was and is to come. From the beginning of everything, until way in the end, He is, the same. He holds all power in His hands and He is present everywhere. Nothing is secret to Him, and nothing happens without His approval. And all His promises stand true.
How Powerful Our God is, is beyond measure. We, therefore have a strong assurance that all is well , because the Almighty is by our side. We can let go and be at peace that He Is before us and He’ll be our rear guard. He’ll never leave nor forsake us.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, keep us in constant awarenes of Who you are and Your presence with us.
In Jesus name.
Amen.

2nd Commandment( Exodus 20:4-6).

Remove all idols.

 Anything that takes the first place in our lives but God are idols.

What consume much of our times? What do we consacrate our energy and thought towards? Think of those questions a moment. Fame, fortune, power, beauty, career, relationships, a position, ourself, fun things of life, people, food, …

In Exodus 20: 4-5. God is once again reminding us to get rid of anything that clogs our lives and hinder His operation in us. Many times in the bible, God has punished His people for worshipping other gods.

To be trully victorious this year, and today we have to surrender to God’s authority and yield to His will and Have no other God but Him. God requires obediance from us.

He promise Blessings in abundance that will go up to 1000s generation for those who honor Him. Our decision to put order in our relationship with God will affect not only us today but the many generation to come. Let’s make the right decision and trust God that as We delight in Him, He will give us the desire of our Heart (Psalm 37:4).

 

Prayer: Heavenly Father, show us what needs to be renounced and unseated from the throne of our lives. Give us the ability to obey your conviction, and the strength Lord to follow through and never pick them up again. By your grace and mercy, make us victorious today.

In Jesus name.

Be glorified in our lives.

Amen.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY – JANUARY 6TH 2020

Exodus 20:1-3 (The ten commandment)

“1And God spoke all these words: 2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 3 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me.”

 

The fact that we are alive and that we can plan, dream, schedule, choose and enjoy what we call our lives is because we have GOD. He is above all, and no one can compare to Him. He is the one who holds all things together and without Him nothing can exist or happen. We owe Him everything. God deserve our love, respect, all of who we are.

We often think and act as if we have control and that it is us who choose what goes and what stays, but today we are reminded that there in a SUPREME, ALMIGHTY God who is Above all. He is Holy, He can’t be mixed with others. He is the one who saves and He is the one who protects. He is the only one who has a say to what goes and what stays under heaven and we jeopardize our lives when we forgot about His ultimate position and fit Him in our lives. He is a loving God, He understands, He is Happy as long as He is in my life whatever the position I give Him: we don’t say these but often mean it when we allow everything else to get our attention, affection, our time, even ourselves. When we can’t be still or patient to be in His presence, we throw Him a quick prayer and then we are in a rush to face all the big things of life. These are the reasons why we don’t fully advance and enjoy God’s blessings in our lives. Because we neglect the One who is the source of it all.

GOD is the biggest, the Supreme in our lives, He deserves and demand our reverence, for He is Holy, He is Almighty, He is compassionate but He can get offended as well. Let us not forget that. He demands we love and respect Him. When God leads the way, all is well (Proverbs 23:26/ Proverbs 3:5-6). God never follow or second nothing and nobody. Let’s reorganize things today and restore Him where he should have always been : on the throne of our heart.

 

Prayer: Heavenly Father, forgive us for the way we live. Thinking that as long as you are in our lives then that’s all that matter. Forgetting that you are Holy, You are Elohim, you are Supreme and no one come close or compare to you. Today Lord, establish your divine order in our lives, teach us to love you with all our heart, mind, strength, soul, that all shall be well with us. Holy Spirit seal it in our Soul that we will never forget it.
