Love one another!

GOD is love and GOD loves us.  Without the love of GOD, we would never know love.  We know love because GOD made us in love.  HE gave HIS Son to die for our sins to redeem us through the immense love that HE has for each one of us.

Today let us go out and share that love.  Show love to all we meet and all we talk to.  Most of all let us love GOD and tell HIM how much we love HIM today.

Prayer:  Heavenly FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU gave me love.  I thank YOU that I can share the love YOU have given me with others.  Give me opportunities today to show that love here on earth.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Stay lovingly GOD blessed today.  

Bear with one another!

GOD loves and us and HE wants us to live in harmony with one another.  This harmony can only be attained through being humble and gentle, patient and kind.  Most of all, we need to love one another as Jesus loves us. 

Therefore today, let us go out and practise loving one another and the fruits of the spirit will come upon us.  

Prayer:  Heavenly FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU love me and that YOU forgive my sins.  FATHER today I humbly ask that YOU will forgive my sins as I forgive all those who sin against me.  I pray that YOU make me humble, gentle, kind and loving.  FATHER, grant me patience in all my dealings on earth.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  My Lord and my Saviour.  Amen.

Stay graciously GOD blessed today!

The Word of GOD!

GOD's word is alive and active, especially today.  This is why it is of utmost importance that we read GOD's word daily.  It is also very important that we talk to GOD daily in prayer about everything.

We need to know that the more time we spend with GOD reading HIS word and speaking to HIM, the better we learn to know the character of our FATHER in Heaven.  This way we are changed and become new people in the light of our FATHER.

Prayer:  Heavenly FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU are in my life.  I thank YOU that YOUR word is relevant to my life today.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay truly GOD blessed today!

Trust in the word of GOD!

GOD is pure and therefore HIS word is pure.  We need to trust in the word of GOD.  That is why we should read the Bible every day.  That is why we need to pray and then listen for the word of GOD.

Jesus is the word.  And we know that Jesus is completely trustworthy.  HE died for our sins.  Therefore, today let us put all our trust in GOD.

Prayer:  Heavenly FATHER I trust YOU with my life.  I trust YOU and I ask that YOU save me.  In Jesus Holy Name.  Amen.


Stay faithfully GOD blessed today!

Healing!

In some way or another most of us carry wounds.  Unkind words spoken to us, nasty comments spoken about us and sometimes our own family turn on us and we are wounded.

In order to be healed, we need to be forgiven and we need to forgive.  Very often we have forgotten the negatives in our lives and when we cannot move forward, sometimes we need to look back at these instances and forgive or get forgiven.

When we are forgiven and when we forgive, we can be restored and our prayer becomes righteous and effective.

This does not mean that we are going to be healed of illnesses or troubling ailments.  What it means is that our spirits are healed.  We need to distinguish between our bodies and our spirits.

Prayer:  Heavenly FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU are with me and that YOU can heal my wounds.  I beg for YOUR forgiveness FATHER as I forgive all those who have sinned against me.  I say this in the faith that I have in my Redeemer, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay faithfully GOD blessed today!

By His wounds we are healed!

The way to become righteous is to firstly accept Jesus Christ as the Son the GOD.  Then to accept that Jesus is our Saviour, that He died and rose again and sits at the right hand of GOD the FATHER.

And the final thing we need to do is to ask GOD to heal us by asking GOD to forgive our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.

When we are sick, unhappy or things are not going well, sometimes it is the simplest thing.  Look back and see where we have gone wrong.  See where we sinned and we did not ask GOD to forgive us.  Or better yet, look back and see where we have not forgiven others.  Then, in righteousness, armed with the belief and faith in our Saviour, Jesus Christ, we can ask GOD to heal us.

Prayer:  Heavenly FATHER, today I humbly ask that YOU forgive my sins as I forgive those who have sinned against me.  I ask this in the faith and the belief that Jesus is my Lord and my Saviour.  Amen.

Stay humbly GOD blessed today!

GOD is light!

Our FATHER is light.  Our FATHER is eternal life.  Our FATHER is loving, kind, forgiving, gracious but most of all, HE has no darkness.

We are sinful and undeserving of all the kindness GOD has shown us through HIS acts of graciousness in sending us HIS Son to live on earth, as a man.  To suffer on a cross.  To die and then to rise so that we may have eternal life.

Gracious FATHER, I accept YOUR light and I want to walk with YOU.

Prayer:  Heavenly FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU have no darkness and only light.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay graciously GOD blessed today!

We need GOD when we are weak!

We all experience times when we are weak.  When we are not feeling well, or when finances are constrained, or relationships are challenging, then we find ourselves turning to GOD for help.

Here in the verse above, we are assured that in these times, all we need is the grace of GOD.  GOD's power works best in us when we are at a weak ebb in our lives.

How true this is.  Nevertheless, we should not wait for our weak moments to spend time with GOD.  We need to build a lasting, living, close relationship with our FATHER in Heaven.

Today let us start to work on being close to our awesome FATHER.  

Prayer:  Heavenly FATHER, I thank YOU that I all I need is YOUR grace.  I thank YOU for Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Saviour.  Amen.

Stay gloriously GOD blessed today!

Blessings from GOD!

Praise GOD from whom all blessings flow.  Praise HIM all creatures here below.  Praise HIM above Ye Heavenly Hosts.  Praise FATHER, Son and Holy Ghost.  

This is how I feel today.  Truly blessed.  I thank GOD for all my family.  I thank GOD for all my friends.  I thank GOD for all my blessings, my home, my pets, my food and most of all for HIS grace and love for me.

Thank YOU GOD.

Prayer:  Heavenly FATHER, YOU have blessed me so richly I thank YOU.  I thank YOU for YOUR Son Jesus Christ.  I thank YOU for the forgiveness of my sins as I forgive all those who sin against me.  I thank YOU that I have the Holy Ghost living in me.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay truly GOD blessed today!

The Righteousness of GOD!

The righteous will live by faith.  But through faith the righteousness of GOD is revealed.

Our GOD, our FATHER in Heaven is truly righteous.  HE is the CREATOR.  HE created us all out of nothing.  Without HIM we are nothing and through our faith in HIM, HIS perfect righteousness is truly revealed.

Through the righteousness of GOD, we are saved.  HE sent HIS Son to die for our sins so that we might have eternal life.  We are not saved through good works or a good disposition or kindly deeds or our humility or our love.  Only through the grace of our perfect righteous FATHER can we receive eternal life.

Prayer:  Heavenly FATHER, I thank YOU for YOUR righteous grace.  I thank YOU that I am saved through my belief in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour.  I ask that YOU forgive my sins, FATHER as I forgive all those who sin against me.  I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay graciously GOD blessed today!

By faith!

We need to have faith in GOD above.  This is the only thing that will get us into Heaven.

Without faith in our GOD, we have nothing.  When we have faith in GOD the FATHER and GOD the Son and GOD the Holy Spirit and when we live by that faith, then it is credited to us as righteousness.  Just as it was to Abraham.  

Without faith that Jesus is the Son the GOD, that He came to earth, that He lived and died and rose again and sits at the right Hand of GOD our FATHER, we have no way to have eternal life with our FATHER.

We get faith through reading and understanding the Scriptures, through prayer with GOD, through communing with other Christians, through spreading the gospel and through knowing the nature of our FATHER in Heaven.

Today let us increase our faith.  Let us read the word of GOD with understanding.  Let us pray with fervour and let us love one another as Jesus loves us.  Let us spread the Gospel to others. 

Prayer:  Heavenly FATHER, give me faith and let me know YOU better.  I pray this in the Name of my Lord and my Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay faithfully GOD blessed today!

Children of GOD!

GOD considers us to be HIS children as Jesus is HIS Son.  The only difference is that we need to accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour in order to be accepted as a co heir of the Kingdom of Heaven.

We need to forgive those who sin against us and we need to ask GOD to forgive our sins.  

It is not a complicated process.  All we need to do is accept the enormous grace of our FATHER in Heaven.

Today, be saved.  Accept Jesus our Lord and Saviour.

Prayer:  Heavenly FATHER I accept Jesus as my Lord and my Saviour.  Forgive my sins as I forgive all those who sin against me.  In Jesus' Holy Name.  Amen.

Stay wondrously GOD blessed today!

Jesus amongst us!

Jesus told His disciples to love Him and to obey His teachings.  Then GOD our FATHER in Heaven will love us.  And they will come and live in us and make their home in us.

How wonderful is this thought. 

Today let us love our FATHER in Heaven with all our hearts.  Let us bow down and worship our FATHER.  Let us praise HIS Holy Name and let us invite Jesus and the Holy Spirit to come and live in each one of us today.

Prayer: Heavenly FATHER, I thank YOU that I love YOU.  And I know that Jesus Christ is my Lord and my Saviour.  I invite Jesus and the Holy Spirit to come and live in me today.  I pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay awesomely GOD blessed today.
