A new beginning!

Through Christ Jesus, we are born again.  We cast off our old selves and enter into a new creation.  This is the truth.  Jesus being the Truth.  

As people living in the truth, let us today resolve to be new creations in Jesus Christ.  Let us resolve to demonstrate fully the light that lives in each one of us and be gentle, humble, kind, loving and giving.  Let us not criticize each other but encourage one another.  Let us spur on our friends, our neighbours and our families so that together we shine the Light and that we show the Trust of the world!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for renewing me and for allowing me to shine Your light on this world.  Help me Father to walk in the Truth and to be humble, gentle, kind, patient and loving.  I pray this in the name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed today!

Put our Trust in God!

God has a perfect plan for our lives.  We need to put all our trust in Him and know that He knows what is best for us.  This is often hard to do as we try to navigate our path on this earth.  

Jesus placed all His trust in His Father and although He suffered on earth, He now sits at the right hand of God our Father.  

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You today for Your perfect plan for my life.  I trust in You Father and I know that You know what is best for me.  Let me accept Your will Father and not my will.  I pray this in the name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

Jesus is all powerful!

God has given all the power to His Son Jesus, both in heaven and on the earth.  No one goes to the Father except through Jesus. 

Let us call on the powerful name of Jesus Christ to help us today in whatever we are doing and where ever we find ourselves.  Let us remember as this year draws to a close that we achieve nothing if we do not give all the glory to God our Father in Heaven and to Jesus Christ our Redeemer.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I thank You for giving me Jesus.  I thank You that Jesus is all powerful and that through Him I can come to You.  I ask humbly today that nothing I do is to my glory but only to Your Glory.  I pray this in the name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

Throne of Grace

God give us His grace.  This is a free gift.  Through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ we can approach God at any time and ask for His divine intervention.  

Sometimes we do not see that God has answered our prayers and supplications as we do not see the result we want.  However, in retrospect many many times, the plan becomes crystal clear and we see that had God given us our way instead of implementing His divine plan, it would have led to a disaster.  

Let us always ask God that if it is His will, then let our prayers be answered in the manner we want.  Always knowing that God has a perfect plan and ours is inherently flawed. 

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, Thank You that You have a divine and perfect plan for my life.  Help me to remember that my desires will often lead to an outcome that I have not foreseen. Lord lead me in Your perfect way.  Give me Your perfect peace.   I pray this in the name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

Strength from God!

God is our hope.  When we know God and when we accept God as our Father, we have hope of life eternal and of God's perfect plan for our lives.  

Let us today put all our hope in God and let God take charge of our lives!  Our Redeemer lives!

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, Thank You that I can depend on You.  Thank You that You are my strength.  Thank You for sending my Redeemer who lives!  I pray all of this in the name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

Faith!

God saves us by His Grace and through our faith in Him.  Through faith Noah spent 120 years of his life building an ark that he was not sure he was ever going to use.  But God told him to build it so he built it.  And he needed it. 

Today let us put all our faith in the perfect plan that God has for our lives and let us trust that He knows what He is doing in lives.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I know that Your plan for my life is perfect and I ask today that You forgive me for doubting You.  Implement Your perfect plan today.  I pray this in the name of my redeemer, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

A Christmas gift for us all from God!

God has saved each one of us.  All we have to do is accept the gift of eternal lift.  In order to accept our gift of eternal life, we need to believe in the gift of salvation.  Lastly and most importantly, we need to ask God to forgive our sins.  We need to forgive others who sin against us. 

The gift of salvation is our firm belief that our God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, to live on earth for us.  Today we celebrate the birth of our Saviour.  We need to believe that Jesus was crucified, died and rose on the third day and then that He ascended into Heaven and that He sits at the right hand of God our Father and our Creator.

Such a simple thing, to believe in Jesus.  He is the only Way the only Truth and the only Life.  He is indeed,  the Light of the world!

Prayer: Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Father God, our Heavenly Creator, I thank You for your Grace.  I thank You Father for Your sacrifice in order to grant me eternal life.  Today Father I ask that You forgive my sins as I forgive those who sin against me.  I pray all of this in the name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed today!

Glory to God in the Highest

Can you imagine looking up into the night sky and seeing a heavenly host suddenly appearing and worshiping God say "Glory to God in the Highest"? That accompanied by an angel of the Lord appearing to  shepherds who were watching their flock in the dead of night.  The angel told the shepherds that that very night a Saviour for whole earth was born.  Glad tidings indeed!

What an amazing and wonderful way to announce the Birth of our Messiah!

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I thank You that You are so gracious and so wonderful.  I thank You today especially that You sent Your Son Jesus to live on this earth, to die for my sins and to give me eternal life.  I pray all of this in the powerful name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed this Christmas!

Melchizedek!

Our Awesome God sent His Son Jesus Christ to live with us.  However, God declares that Jesus is a High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.  This makes Jesus completely pure of bloodline and thus able to bring peace, light and eternal life to us all.

This Christmas, let us celebrate the absolute purity of the sacrifice performed for each one of us and let us be eternally grateful to our Heavenly Father for His enormous Grace.

Let us forgive those who sin against us as we ask God to forgive us of our sins.  Let us love one another and show kindness, humility and gentleness this Christmas in the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, today I humbly ask that You forgive my sins as I forgive those who sin against me.  I thank You Father that You have given me Your Grace and that You sent Your Son to die for me so that I could have eternal life with You.  I pray this in the name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen. 

Stay God Blessed!

God made Jesus His High Priest!

God gave His Son the title of High Priest in the order of Melchizedek!  Jesus who is Lord of ALL did not take on the glory of becoming a High Priest, but His Father bestowed upon Him the title for the enormous sacrifice that He made is coming to earth to save us all and give us eternal life. 

In the same way Jesus Christ lived, so should we live.  Not seeking glory for ourselves on earth but rather in storing up treasures for ourselves in Heaven.  

Therefore especially during this Christmas period and in order to give reverence to our Lord and Saviour, let us do good but let us do it in secret and without seeking praise.  Let us behave humbly as Jesus did and let us store up for ourselves the glory in Heaven.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, today help me to do good unto others.  Help me to be a better ambassador for You here on earth today.  Help me to forgive others as You forgive me and help me to do all of this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

God's Final Word - His Son Jesus Christ!

God sent His Son to earth.  Not to be a God on earth, but to live like us.  Jesus lived amongst us and he was fully human.  

When he died on the cross, He felt the pain as we would have, had we been tortured like this.  

However, after doing this for us, He now sits at the right Hand of God the Father.  Jesus is the ONLY way to get to the Father.  We need to remember this and know this and acknowledge Jesus as our ONLY Lord and Saviour.

This Christmas celebrate the true meaning of what Jesus came to do on earth in order to give each one of us eternal life.  What an enormous Blessing and what Grace we have received from our Heavenly Father!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I ask that this Christmas I am constantly reminded of the true meaning of Your enormous Grace.  I thank You Father for the life of Your Son Jesus Christ here on earth.  I pray earnestly for the forgiveness of my sins as I forgive those who sin against me.  I pray this all in the name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

God's Revelation to us concerning Jesus Christ!

God gives us this powerful revelation in Hebrews Chapter 1.  He promises us that His Son is indeed a High Priest of the order of  Melchizedek.   And He promises us that He sends His Son to live a life lower than the Angels so that His Son will experience true life on earth as we experience it.

God is Awesome and this promise was given to each one of us.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I thank You that You sent Your Son to live on this earth and I humbly  thank You Father for Your enormous Grace.  I ask today Father that You fill me with Your Holy Spirit so that I can shine my light on the world today.  I pray this in the Name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

The Power of God unto Salvation!

Today as we draw closer to celebrating the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, let us reflect on the awesome power of God.  God brings salvation to each one of us and all we have to do is to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and our Saviour.

What a magnificent God we serve!

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Thank You that You love me.  Thank You that You sent Your wonderful Son to die to save me from my sins.  Thank You that I can spend eternity with You in Heaven. I ask humbly that You forgive my sins as I forgive those who sin against me.

I pray all of this in the Name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

Love your enemies

God loves us and He wants the best life for each one of us.  Those of us that choose to love Him are very blessed.  

When we have God is our lives, we are forgiven of our sins when we truly repent and ask God to forgive us.  As true Christians we are called on to forgive those who sin against us and this is often hard to do when we feel hurt and slighted.  However,  we cannot ask God to forgive us if we still harbour grudges.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father I thank You today, that You are my Father and my Creator.  I thank You that You sent Your wonderful Son to die for my sins.  Let me today shine my light here on earth as Christmas approaches and forgive those who sin against me.  I pray this in Jesus mighty name, Amen!

Stay God Blessed!

God is Light!

God is the giver of all things.  We are born into this world with nothing   We leave this world with nothing.  When we go back to our Heavenly Father, all that we take with us is our refined soul.

Let us Christians this Christmas remember this and let behave as the light of the world.  Let us refine ourselves through our generosity.  Let us give good gifts to others.  Let us give love, kindness, happiness, contentment and above all light to others for whom there appears to be only darkness!

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, You who gave the Light to this dark world, I humbly ask that You give me the fruits of the Holy Spirit, so that I may shine my light on earth.  I pray for the forgiveness of my sins as I forgive those who sin against me.  I pray all this in the wonderful name of my Lord and Saviour, the Light of the world, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed! All you wonderful children of God!

Forgive those who sin against you!

Christmas is a time for forgiveness.  It is a time for love and it is a time for family and friends.  It is a time of giving and sharing and caring.  

Let us today do as Jesus did when He was on this earth.  Let us make an effort today to think of all the hurts we think that others have done to us and to consciously forgive them.  Let us then in prayer ask God to also forgive them.  Let us ask God to forgive us for all the hurt and pain we have caused others.

Let us today be humble, kind, caring, giving and forgiving!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I humbly come before You today and I ask Father that you will forgive my sins.  I humbly forgive all those who have sinned against me.  Father today I humbly ask that You give me humility, kindness and gentleness.  Give me a spirit that looks more like Jesus.  I Pray this in the name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

Forgive those who persecute you!

God has promised us the gift of eternal life through the life, death and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ.  God tells us to forgive those who sin against us. He forgives us of our sins and in the same way we need to forgive others as they sin against us.

This is a very difficult thing to do as we Human Beings love to bear a grudge.  However we are called on not to do this.  Let us all make a concerted effort this Christmas to celebrate the life of our Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus, by being forgiving to others.  Let us remember their sins no more!

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I am so grateful to You for Your enormous sacrifice in sending Your Son to die on a cross for my sins.  I humbly ask that You forgive me sins AS I forgive those who sin against me.  I ask this in the powerful name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

The Holy Spirit given to us by God!

God has sent His Holy Spirit to live in each one of us.  When we hear that small voice inside of us, it is not our imagination.  It is the Holy Spirit.  

Therefore let us today glory in our sufferings, because we know that through this when we persevere,  the Holy Spirit is poured out into each one of us!

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, today I thank You for sending Your mighty Counsellor, Your Holy Spirit to live in me.  I thank You for Your immense Grace.  Father today I pray that through my sufferings, I produce perseverance and character and hope.  I know that hope will never put me to shame when I hope for You.  I pray this in the name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

Jesus the light of the world!

Jesus is the Light of the world.  What a powerful statement!  When we walk with Jesus we will only be in the light.  This is the promise.  

This Christmas make sure that we Christians on earth show the world the Light!  Let us put on all our Christmas lights in our homes.  Let us fill our Churches with light and music and joy.  Let us lift our voices in songs and praise! Let us be like Jesus, generous, kind, humble, compassionate.  Slow to anger and swift to forgive and to love one another as He loves us. 

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I thank You for sending the Light of the world to us.  I thank You for the life of Jesus here on earth.  I thank You that he sits at Your right hand and that through His blood I am forgiven of all my sins.  I pray today Father, that any sins I have committed You will graciously forgive as I forgive those who sin against me. I pray this in the name of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

Jesus is born!

Isaiah7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to live with us a we do here on earth.  Immanuel means "God with us."  

As we move towards Christmas day let us meditate on the huge sacrifice Jesus made in order that we may eternal life in God our Father. 

We are so blessed, let us pass those blessings on to others!

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I cannot imagine the agony you endured watching Your Son being born and knowing that He had to die for us to live.  Your Grace is immense and I thank You Father today, that You love me so much.  I love You Father, and I thank You Father.  I pray that you will forgive my sins as I forgive those who sin against me.  I pray this in the name of my Lord and Saviour,  Jesus Christ .  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

Jesus is the light of the world!

Jesus is the light of the world.  That is why we celebrate His light by putting up lights at Christmas.  Jesus is the ONLY way to get to God.  He is the ONLY truth.  Let us not be deceived into thinking that there is any other way to get to God.  

This Christmas let us celebrate the birth of our Saviour by shining our lights really brightly and by spreading the Good News!  Let us share the Kingdom of Heaven by showing our light, by being humble, gentle, kind and good.  Let us show the world that Christianity is not self serving but serving others. 

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, today I thank You that You sent the light of world into this world.  I thank You for the life of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Today I pray for the forgiveness of my sins and I pray that You will forgive those who sin against me.  I forgive them Father today.  I pray all of this in the name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

God's Grace!

God is merciful!  God is Gracious!  He forgives us of all of our sins. 

What we need to do to accept God's grace is to ASK for forgiveness of our sins.  It is not an automatic forgiveness.  The Bible is full of verses referring to this.  "Ask and Ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and the door shall be opened." (Matthew 7:7) 

To become one of God's children, we need to accept this beautiful Grace of God, by asking for it. 

Prayer:  Heavenly Gracious Father, today I confess all my sins to You O God.  

I ask humbly that You will forgive me for any and all sins that I have committed, knowingly or unknowingly.  I ask that where I have hurt others, You forgive me.  I ask that where I have caused others to sin, You forgive me.  I ask that you wash me clean in the Blood of my Saviour, Jesus Christ .  I forgive all those who sin against me and I hold no grudge whatsoever against them. 

Today I accept that Jesus Christ is Your Son, whom You sent to live on earth, to be crucified on the cross and to rise again and that He ascended into Heaven and that He sits at Your right hand.  I accept that He is the only Way, the only Truth and the only Life.  

I humbly ask Father that I receive Your Grace through Jesus Christ my Lord and Saviour.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!   You are indeed a Child of God!

Stand Firm in God's Grace!

God is so good!  He gives us all the tools to deal with our lives.  He give us His grace to accompany us and He gives us His truth!

Today be joyful and thank God for His enduring goodness!  Let us praise God in the highest heavens.  Let us carry this song in our hearts today.  Holy Holy Holy, Lord God Almighty!

Prayer:  Father today I give You all the Glory.  I give You all the thanks.  I am indeed so grateful to You Heavenly Father, for my life and for the Grace that You give me each and every day.  I say all of this in the name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

Glory to God in the highest!

Glory to God in the highest.  Let us give God our hearts, our minds and our souls today!

Let us praise God and let us sing to God.  He is awesome!  He loves us, He forgives our sins and He wants to talk to all of us today.  He wants an eternal relationship with us!

How blessed are we!!!

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I thank You today that You are my creator and that You are my all in all.  I love You Father.  I pray today that You forgive my sins as I forgive those who sin against me.  I pray this in the name of my Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

God at work in us!

God is at work in us every day when we believe that His only Son, Jesus Christ,  is our Saviour.  God talks to us through our daily reading of His word.  When we pray to Him, He gives us signs and replies to us.   What we need to do is accept that God loves us, that He wants a relationship with us and He is our Creator.

Let God work in us today.  Let us come to Him and ask for His wonderful power and love in our lives and see how immeasurably more He is able to do in us today.

Prayer:  Awesome Heavenly Father, thank You that You are in my life.  Thank You that You will answer me when I talk to You.  Thank You that You are the power and love living in me. Father today, show me Your immeasurable power. I pray this in the name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

God Our Rock!

God is our Rock!  There truly is no one we know that can remotely compare to our Father, our Creator!  

When we look at the image above and we know that  our God is as immovable, as unchangeable as this rock, then we begin to grasp the magnitude of our Father.

God is our fortress in times of trouble. He is our shelter. He is our Redeemer. He is our strength.  He is our Saviour. He is our Father.  He is our all in all!

Prayer: Heavenly Father God, thank You that You are indeed our Rock on whom we can depend for all our needs.  Let us build our lives upon You Father! Today we pray in Jesus holy name, that You will always remain in our lives and that we can spend eternity with You.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

Let us not grow weary!

God is truly amazing.  This verse says it all!  Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due time, we shall reap.  

Let us today make a concerted effort to do good.  And let us do it in the spirit of Christmas, with a good heart and let us not show the world that we are tired, even if we are!

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I thank You today that You showed me this message and I ask in Jesus Name, that I may take it to my heart and practice it in sincerity today.  I pray Father that You show where I may do good today.  In Jesus Name.  Amen.

Stay God Blessed!

God will answer you today!

God will answer your prayers today.  You need to read His word, pray to Him and ask Him for His forgiveness and He will talk to you.

Stay Blessed!
