Fear GOD!


 Dearest CHRIST followers, we need to have a healthy and reverent fear of GOD.

Our FATHER knows everything we do.  HE is all powerful.  HE is also loving, merciful and gracious.

In the light of these attributes of our Holy FATHER, we ought to keep HIS commandments.

By accepting JESUS as our LORD and SAVIOUR, we are filled with the HOLY SPIRIT and HE helps us to turn from our sinful ways and shows us clearly when we are not keeping the Commandments of our FATHER in Heaven.

Only through the redemptive blood of JESUS can we be spared judgement and hell.

Let us repent and turn to GOD today!

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, we humbly thank YOU that through our faith in JESUS we will be spared eternity away from YOU.  We humbly thank YOU in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay obediently JESUS BLESSED today!

GOD is not mocked!


Dearest CHRIST followers, we need to be very mindful that GOD reads our hearts and HE knows our every thought and, more importantly, HE knows our motives.

What we sow, we will reap.  Even to the thoughts of our hearts.

This is why it is so important to take every thought captive.

Thoughts of evil give birth to sin.

We simply cannot deceive our FATHER in Heaven and HE will not be mocked.  This is why it is so important to control what we say, what we think, what we read and what we watch.

The devil is of this world, and he is setting traps for us daily to entice us to mock our FATHER in Heaven through our actions, thoughts and deeds.

Let us not fall for his wiles.  Rather let us worship GOD with all our hearts, minds and souls.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU have shown me that I should take captive every thought.  FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU will give me the strength to do this every moment of every day.  I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.


Stay faithfully JESUS Blessed today!

Take up our crosses and follow JESUS


 Dearest CHRIST followers, when we accept JESUS as LORD and SAVIOUR of our lives, we are not guaranteed a trouble-free life.

We are all going to face trials and tribulations.  However, JESUS came to this earth, born as a man, added humanity to HIS Deity and HE knows the difficulties we will go through.

When troubles come, we need to "take up our crosses" that we have to bear, deny ourselves and follow JESUS. 

This sounds a lot easier than it often is.  However, we need to remember that through it all, we are not alone.

Our REDEEMER lives and HE never leaves us nor forsakes us.  Through the storms and the good times.

Be of good cheer - JESUS has overcome this world.

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that in our darkest hours, YOU are always with us.  I thank YOU and I worship YOU and honour YOU and adore YOU.  YOU are my all in all.  I humbly thank YOU in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.   Amen.

Stay thankfully JESUS Blessed today!

True doctrine!


 Dearest CHRIST followers, we need to be very careful about the false doctrines that are passed off on us today.

There are people who teaching false doctrines.  The thing about the lies that are being taught is that they closely resemble the truth and are difficult to distinguish.

These are the "seducing" spirits being spoken of here.

We always need to check everything for ourselves.  We need to read the Scriptures to find out is what we are being told is in the Bible and is accurate.

The false doctrines are most often close to the truth.

Remember the serpent in the garden of Eden.  "Did GOD really say?"  That kind of question sews doubt and then we begin to question the voracity of the statements.

Do not be seduced by false doctrines.  These are of the devil.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for YOUR WORD which is sharper than any double-edged sword.  FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU give me a discerning heart to identify false doctrines when they arise.  I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay graciously JESUS Blessed today!

Born Again!


 Dearest CHRIST followers, this is such a controversial topic for people who do not understand the terminology and what it means to be born again.

We cannot be "born twice".  That is true.  But we can be born into the family of GOD by choice.

When we choose to believe in JESUS as our REDEEMER, we repent of our sins and we are filled with the HOLY SPIRIT, we then become children of GOD.  

To be "born again" we must repent of our sins and turn away completely from our old lives.  The HOLY SPIRIT comes to live in us.  We are then co-heirs with JESUS.  We are HIS brothers and sisters. However, we now have the responsibility to now act in such a way that we bring glory to GOD our FATHER.

JESUS says it above, "no one can see the kingdom of GOD unless they are born again.  No longer are we born of human will, but by the SPIRIT of GOD.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I humbly thank YOU that I am born of the HOLY SPIRIT and now belong to YOUR family in Heaven.  FATHER I humbly pray that anyone reading this who has not been born again, will now wish to turn to YOU, repent, believe in JESUS and be born again.  I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay faithfully JESUS Blessed today!

O LORD YOU have searched me!


Dearest CHRIST followers, no one knows us better than our Heavenly FATHER.  Before we were born, HE knew us.

HE knows our going out and our coming in.

We can hide nothing from our FATHER.

The question is therefore, how well do we know our FATHER?

Isn't it time to get to know the nature and character of our FATHER?

Today, let us resolve to get to know GOD in an intimate way.  Let us build our relationship based on trust and then let us put all our trust in our FATHER and have HIS will done in our lives and not our will.

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU do YOUR will in my life.  I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay faithfully JESUS Blessed today!

All have sinned!


 Dearest CHRIST followers we have all sinned and all have fallen short of the glory of GOD.

We serve a Holy, Just, Kind, Loving, Merciful, Gracious GOD who cannot be in the presence of sin.

That is the only reason GOD made a way for us to get to Heaven.

JESUS is that Way.  There is no other way to get to Heaven.

No one who does not believe that JESUS is the MESSIAH, the REDEEMER, the LAMB of GOD, will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

We are only justified through the Blood of JESUS and our faith in JESUS.  Nothing else can get us into Heaven.

We are all going to live for eternity and there are only two choices, Heaven or hell.  Where are you going when you die?  Make the decision today.  You may not have tomorrow.  No one is guaranteed tomorrow.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I humbly thank YOU that YOU made a WAY for me to get to Heaven through faith in JESUS CHRIST and HIS redemptive work on the CROSS for my sins.  I thank YOU in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay faithfully JESUS Blessed today!

Do not worry!


 Dearest CHRIST followers, our FATHER loves us dearly and HE knows what we need.

When we accept JESUS as our REDEEMER, we can hand all our worries over to our FATHER in Heaven.

JESUS told HIS disciples that our FATHER knows what we need.  What we need is faith in our FATHER's abilities and we should not depend on our own abilities.

This does not mean that we should not work and just wait for our FATHER to do everything for us.  But it does mean that our anxieties we present to our FATHER in good faith and then we stop worrying.  However, present our anxieties in thanksgiving for what our FATHER does for us and the peace HE brings in our lives.

JESUS went on to say to HIS disciples that we cannot add even a cubit to our height by worrying.

Moreover, our FATHER even knows the number of hairs upon our heads.

Today, let us resolve not to worry about anything but to take it to the LORD in prayer.

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I humbly thank YOU that YOU know my needs.  FATHER, I thank YOU that I can petition YOU with all the things that are worrying me.  I thank YOU in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay thankfully JESUS Blessed today!

Trust in the LORD always!


Dearest CHRIST followers, our GOD is bigger than anything we could ever imagine.  We do not need to be afraid of anything when we put our hope and our trust in our Heavenly FATHER.

Our FATHER, when we trust in HIM completely, will uphold us with HIS right hand and with all HIS righteousness.

Our FATHER will be with us in whatever we do and whatever we face.  With GOD on our side, of whom or of what shall we be afraid?

Today, do not be dismayed.  Put all your trust in JESUS CHRIST!

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I am so thankful that I am able to place my trust in YOU.  I humbly thank YOU in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay faithfully JESUS Blessed today!

Encourage one another!


 Dearest CHRIST followers, Paul, writing to the Thessalonians urged them to encourage one another.

We, today, should do likewise.

A lot of people are struggling to deal with life at the moment.  Cost of living is high, there is insecurity and crime.  People are dealing with illnesses themselves or their loved ones are struggling. 

As CHRIST followers we can encourage those around us in the smallest of ways. With the modern speed of communication, we can send a kind word or a simple message to let that person know that we are thinking of them today.

Let us try to encourage each other.  One kind word can make a huge difference to person who is feeling discouraged.

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU have given me so much.  Help me to make a difference in someone's life today.  I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay encouragingly JESUS Blessed today!

Do not let the sun go down on your anger!


 Dearest CHRIST followers, this is such sound advice from Paul.  If we go to bed thinking about something that is annoying us, we give the devil a foothold to take over our thoughts while we sleep.

We need to pray to GOD to overcome any anger that we feel and ask GOD to help us to overcome it.

When we are angry the best cure is prayer.

Once we are peaceful, then we can go to sleep.

If we have had an argument with someone we love, settle that before we go to bed.

Thoughts of anger give birth to acts of evil. 

Today, let us resolve to still any anger before we sleep.  No matter what caused it.

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, thank YOU that I can pray to YOU about my anger.  Help me FATHER to take anger out of my mind before I sleep.  I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay faithfully JESUS Blessed today!

Wisdom!


 Dearest CHRIST followers, wisdom is a free gift from the LORD.  All who ask for it will get it.

However, I fear it is something we seldom choose to ask for.

People want all sorts of things from GOD.  But our FATHER has a perfect plan for each one of us.  HIS plan is so much better than ours.

When we ask for wisdom, and we receive it, we are better able to discern what is good for us and what is not good for us.

We are more equipped to deal with waiting on the LORD when we have wisdom.

Today let us resolve that on a daily basis we will ask the LORD to give us the wisdom to make the right choices in our life.  Let us ask our FATHER for understanding to find the right paths to take.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for all my blessings so gratefully received today.  FATHER give me wisdom and understanding to be able to make the right choices.  FATHER, I pray that I choose THY will and not my will.   I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay wisely JESUS Blessed today!

Our sins can be forgiven if we are repentant!


 Dearest CHRIST followers, if we truly repent of our sins, our FATHER in Heaven will forgive us.

Often, we think if have sinned, it is absolutely unforgiveable.  However, as I wrote about yesterday, GOD reads our hearts.

Sometimes it takes us to come right to the end of ourselves to realize how we have offended GOD.

However, JESUS died for all of us because our FATHER loves each one of us and HE wants none of us to perish.  All we have to do is to truly be contrite.

Recognizing that we have sinned is the start of that process.

Each and every day we need to ask our FATHER to fill us with HIS HOLY SPIRIT.  The HOLY SPIRIT convicts us when we sin.  And we can then repent and be forgiven.

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for YOUR grace.  FATHER fill me anew with YOUR HOLY SPIRIT and convict me when I sin.  I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay graciously JESUS Blessed today!

Whatever things are true!


 Dearest CHRIST followers I love the way Paul advises the Philippians.  Let us read this verse again and again and then let us put this into practice whenever we feel overwhelmed by life.

Whatever things are true - there is so much falseness and so many lies in our world today.

Whatever things are noble - again, so very little of anything today is noble.

Just - If you are like me, I truly struggle with this.  It seems that politicians and people in power have laws for thee but not for me.

Pure is easier to find.  We can find this is in nature, small children, little animals, some people - again - sometimes hard to find. 

Lovely and of good report. Well, that is challenging with people, easier to say of sunrises and sunsets and the like. 

One thing I am sure of is that all of these attributes can be found in JESUS. 

Paul exhorts us to find these things, meditate on them as this will bring peace to our hearts.  Surely, we can meditate on the goodness, the love, the grace, the mercy and the love of JESUS CHRIST from morning till night!

Today, let us seek JESUS and meditate on all HIS goodness.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU are true, noble, just, pure, lovely and of good report.  I thank YOU that I can meditate on YOU day and night and this gives me YOUR peace which transcends all understanding.  I humbly thank YOU in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay amazingly JESUS Blessed today!

GOD reads our hearts!


 Dearest CHRIST followers, as we serve a CREATOR GOD, our FATHER knows everything about us.  HE knows what we are thinking and what we are going to think.  HE knows and HE reads our hearts.

We simply cannot run and hide from our FATHER.

GOD knows the most important reason we do anything, because GOD knows our motives.

We have nowhere to hide in our hearts.  

That is why it is so important in life to do the Will of GOD.  If we do things for ourselves out of selfish motives and ambitions, we are not doing the Will of GOD.

Ultimately, let us store up for ourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moths nor thieves can get at them.

This world is very fleeting.  Let us concentrate on eternity.  Maranatha LORD!

PRAYER: ABBA FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU show me YOUR will and direct my paths accordingly.  Let me never do anything in selfish ambition.  I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay faithfully JESUS Blessed today!

Trust in the LORD!


Dearest Christ followers, the Scriptures repeatedly echo the point that we need to trust in the LORD.

Complete trust means that we surrender our lives to the will of our FATHER.  When we trust someone implicitly, we know that they have our best interests at heart.

Trust implies that the person in whom we place our trust will never let us down.

On earth, we are often let down by people around us.

It is always a shock to find out that we cannot trust someone that we have put a lot of our trust into.

It happens between parents and children, between spouses, between friends.  And it is always very disheartening.

However, our trust in the LORD can never be misplaced.  GOD knows everything about us including the number of hairs on our heads.  GOD also knows what is best for us in every situation.

Therefore, the trust we place in GOD surpasses all other "trusts".  Our trust in our FATHER is in HIS grace, HIS mercy, HIS goodness and HIS love for us.  This surpasses anything we can ever experience on earth with anyone.

Trust in the LORD today.  You will not be disappointed!

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU are completely trustworthy.  FATHER today I humbly ask that YOU always lead my life and that YOUR will be done and not mine.  I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay trustingly JESUS Blessed today!


Saturday, 14 September 2024

The LORD is our refuge and our strength!


 Dearest Christ followers, our FATHER in Heaven is our refuge and strength.  When we are weak our weakness is made strong only in our FATHER.

Our FATHER shields us and our FATHER delivers us.

We will never know this side of Heaven all the dangers, trials and troubles our FATHER has protected us from.

What we need to do is to trust our FATHER completely.  Our FATHER knows what is best for us at all times.  Our FATHER knows our strengths and our weaknesses.

Therefore, for all the might and power and grace of our FATHER in Heaven let us worship, honour and adore HIM today.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for YOUR strength.  I thank YOU for YOUR grace and favour.  I thank YOU for my REDEEMER, JESUS CHRIST.  I humbly thank YOU in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay faithfully JESUS Blessed today!

The LORD is my light and my salvation!


Dearest Christ followers we all have days when we feel that we are under attack from the whole world. It is on days such as these that it is so good to go to the WORD of GOD and read what the Psalmists say. 

In the Psalm above Kind David who was often persecuted by firstly King Saul and later on, even his own son, wrote that the LORD is our light.

The LORD is our salvation and the strength of our lives.

As it was then, it is true today.

With GOD on our side of whom shall we be afraid?

Our FATHER can do anything.  Today let us stand firm in our faith knowing that we serve a truly MIGHTY FATHER!

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU are my strength and my shield.  I thank YOU that YOU are the LIGHT of my world.  I humbly thank YOU in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay faithfully JESUS Blessed today!

Effectual fervent prayer


Dearest CHRIST followers, we are to pray without ceasing.  We are to pray about everything.  

I this verse above James, the half-brother of JESUS, calls on his readers to confess our faults to one another and to pray for one another so that we may be healed.

He then goes on to say that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous person achieves a great deal.

There is real power in prayer. 

GOD wants us to be in prayer so that we are communing with HIM.  Not that GOD does not know what is going on in our lives - HE knows everything.  However, GOD wants us to trust in HIM and to take our concerns to HIM. 

Today, let us resolve to take everything in prayer to our FATHER who loves us.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I humbly pray that I learn to pray about everything in my life.  Teach me ABBA FATHER.  This I humbly ask in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay prayerfully JESUS Blessed today!

Be the light!


Dearest CHRIST followers we need to be the salt and light on this earth.

As it stands, our world is getting darker and darker.  Good is being called evil and evil is being called.

The credibility of our faith lies in the way we demonstrate it on earth.

It is no good being a believer and just keeping this to ourselves.  Our faith needs to be put into action to produce the salt and light.

Today, let us resolve that we need to show our faith through our actions.  

Let us not be confirmed to the things of this world, but rather let us bring glory to our FATHER through spreading the Gospel, not accepting right for wrong or wrong for right.  

Let us stand firm in our convictions of what GOD requires from us, to be salt and light.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, we thank YOU that we are under YOUR grace through our faith.  FATHER, help us to stand firm in our convictions against the dark things of this world.  Show us where we can spread the Gospel and be the light and salt of this world.  We humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay faithfully JESUS Blessed today!

Rejoice evermore!


Dearest CHRIST followers, let us rejoice today.  We are so privileged to be under the Grace of GOD.

We must rejoice about this evermore.  

We also need to do as Paul recommended all those centuries ago and we need to pray without ceasing.

The Will of GOD is also that we give thanks for everything.

And how blessed we are!  We have our FATHER in Heaven always with us.  We have our SAVIOUR JESUS with us always.  We have the HOLY SPIRIT living in us.

Let us therefore, rejoice, give thanks and pray without ceasing!

We have nothing to fear with GOD on our side.  

Prayer;  ABBA FATHER, today I thank YOU for YOUR grace and favour.  I thank YOU that YOU are always with me.  I thank YOU for JESUS CHRIST, my REDEEMER.  I thank YOU for the HOLY SPIRIT living in me.  I humbly thank YOU in the HOLY Name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay faithfully JESUS Blessed today!


Monday, 9 September 2024

GOD's temple!


Dearest CHRIST followers, we are GOD's temple.  Therefore, we need to act as if we are the Temple of the LORD and that the LORD dwells in our midst.

When the Rapture takes place, JESUS is coming to fetch HIS bride.  The Church, - believers - you and me!

The Rapture could happen at any time now.

Are we ready?

Today, let us examine our lives and what we are doing on earth.  Will JESUS find us Holy?  Will he find us going about HIS business?

If we are not living as if we are the Temple of the LORD, let us resolve today to move away from the things that are taking us away from JESUS.  Let us be about our FATHER's business.  Let us be the Light on earth.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU will find me about YOUR business should YOU come to fetch me.  FATHER help me to live my life with YOU at the centre of everything.  I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay faithfully JESUS Blessed today!



Sunday, 8 September 2024

Forgive as we are forgiven!


Dearest CHRIST followers we cannot expect that JESUS forgive us of our sins when we are not willing to forgive others. In fact, in Matthew 6:15 we are told:

"But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your FATHER forgive your trespasses."

As CHRIST followers, when we repent and believe we are forgiven of our sins.  The Bible tells us that GOD removes our sins from us as far as the east is from the west.

However, when we feel wronged, it is a truly difficult thing to forgive. 

When we do forgive, it frees us, and that is the thing to remember.  Forgiving helps us to move along from the event.  Without forgiveness, we are always stuck in that situation.  Once we forgive, we can get over the incident and although we may never forget it, we are no longer holding the grudge. 

That is the big thing.  Holding onto the hurts of life will not bring us into the fullness of the love of JESUS.  

In order for us to be forgiven, we need to forgive!  Today if we are holding on to the sins that people have committed against us, let us forgive them and ask our FATHER to forgive us as we have forgiven them.

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for YOUR grace and favour.  FATHER today I forgive all those who have sinned against me.  FATHER I pray that YOU will forgive me as I have forgiven them.  I humbly ask this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay forgivingly JESUS Blessed today!



Saturday, 7 September 2024

Guard our mouths!


 Dearest Christ followers, we need to keep our mouths in check. We can do so much damage with, but a few words used at the wrong time.

Our words matter and we need to think before we speak.

As children of GOD, we need to shine the light of JESUS on this world.  We cannot do that if we do not think about what we are saying.

Our words can hurt others and can get us into an enormous amount of trouble.

Especially today, daily we need to ask the LORD to guard our tongues.  A small organ, but powerful and deadly when used unwisely.

On the other hand, a kind word can mean such a lot. Let pray that we learn to us use our words wisely. 

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that I am under YOUR Grace.  FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU show me how to think before I speak. Let my speech build up and not break down.  I pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay graciously JESUS Blessed today.


Friday, 6 September 2024

Pray for everyone!


 Dearest Christ followers, Paul, in his Epistle to Timothy exhorts him to pray for everyone.

That is a very important point for us to follow. 

We must pray for each other.  We must stand together in the fellowship of CHRIST JESUS.  We need to open our prayer with praise and thanksgiving to our FATHER for HIS Grace and favour. 

Through prayer we can shine the light of JESUS on this dark world.

What we need to do is make a list of people we need to pray for daily and then remember to pray for them, asking GOD to bring them to the full knowledge of the truth that JESUS is the only WAY, the only TRUTH, and the only LIFE.

We also need to pray for those people who do not believe.  Fervent prayer is acceptable to our FATHER.

Prayer; ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for YOUR Grace and favour.  FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU bless my family and my friends today.  I pray this in the HOLY NAME of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay prayerfully JESUS Blessed today!



Thursday, 5 September 2024

We are passed fom death unto life!


 Dearest Christ followers, we are under no condemnation when we believe in JESUS CHRIST as our SAVIOUR.

JESUS has paid the price for all of our sins in full.

All we have to do to receive the gift of Grace from GOD is to believe in JESUS CHRIST.  

In the passage above, JESUS says that we, (believers in HIM), have passed from death into life.

This is the free gift of Grace given to us by GOD at the expense of the blood JESUS shed on that Cross of Calvary.

JESUS is the sole judge of all people on earth.  If you do not believe in JESUS, you will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.  And this acceptance and belief in JESUS can only take place this side of the grave.

Should you die and you have not accepted JESUS as your SAVIOUR, unfortunately you are going to spend eternity in hell.  

That is the simple truth.

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I humbly thank YOU for the free gift of Grace.  I thank YOU that I am a believer.  I humbly thank YOU in the HOLY Name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay faithfully JESUS blessed today!

Food for our souls - the WORD of GOD!




Dearest Christ followers, JESUS was tempted by satan after HE had been in the desert, and JESUS had fasted for forty days and forty nights.

We cannot imagine how hungry or thirsty JESUS must have been.  And yet when the devil told JESUS to turn the stones into bread and eat, JESUS replied as above.

Indeed, we too, do not live on bread alone as CHRIST followers, we need to feed our souls by regularly being in the WORD of GOD.

Obviously fasting is what JESUS was doing in order to start HIS ministry.  We too can fast for various reasons.  It brings us closer to CHRIST and it focuses our minds on what JESUS wants for us.  When we have important decisions, we can fast and pray about it.  Prayer and fasting work well to get to know what GOD is saying to us. 

However, far more importantly than fasting, we need to be in the WORD of GOD daily.  We need to read the Scriptures, and we need to talk to like-minded CHRIST followers.  GOD talks to us through the Scriptures and through our prayers.  HE also communes with us when we fellowship with other CHRIST followers.  Going to Church also gives us the WORD of GOD.

Prayer meetings also help us to get to know GOD on a much deeper level.

But the Bible remains the authoritative, inerrant, infallible WORD of GOD and this must be at our sides all the time to truly have a living relationship with our FATHER in Heaven.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU speak to me through YOUR WORD.  Teach me YOUR WORD.  I thank YOU that I am free to read YOUR WORD at any time without fear of persecution.  I humbly thank YOU in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay faithfully JESUS Blessed today!



Tuesday, 3 September 2024

GOD will finish HIS good work in us!


 Dearest CHRIST followers, Paul, writing to the Philippians wrote that he was confident that GOD, who had begun a good work in them, would complete the work.

The same still applies to all of us today.

When we walk with the LORD and we do HIS good works, HE is faithful to complete the work HE has started in us.

What we need to do is to do HIS good works daily.  We need to love one another.  We need to spread the Gospel.  We need to be about our FATHER's business each and every day.

Most of all, we need to be an example to others.  We need to shine the light of JESUS in this very dark world.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU will help me to be about YOUR business daily.  FATHER, help me to shine the light of JESUS on this world.  FATHER, complete YOUR work in me to make me more like JESUS.  I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay graciously JESUS Blessed today!

GOD comforts us!


Dearest CHRIST followers, our FATHER in Heaven never leaves us nor forsakes.  However, we are not always so faithful towards HIM.

During busy days, how often do we take time to speak to GOD?

Do we listen to the words whispered to us by our loving FATHER?

Let us resolve to make a lot more time to listen to and pray to our FATHER. His words to us will give us comfort and delight our souls.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I humbly thank YOU that YOU are so faithful to us.  I delight in YOUR grace.  FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU comfort me when I need it most.

I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay amazingly JESUS Blessed today!

The WORD of GOD!


Dear CHRIST followers, the WORD of GOD is a lamp to our feet.  We need to read it and know it well.

It is our shield against evil.  It is a source of inspiration when we are in this ever- darkening world.

The WORD is GOD breathed.  It is inerrant.  It is infallible. 

Let us never take for granted that we have free access to the WORD.  We can read it anywhere and any time.

The BIBLE apps are freely available and downloadable on our phones, our laptops and we read the WORD whenever we want.  No excuses.

Today let us resolve to get into the habit of reading our Bibles often and getting to know and understand the GOD we serve.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that I am free to read YOUR WORD.  FATHER, lead me and guide me through YOUR WORD daily.  I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay faithfully JESUS Blessed today!





GOD will provide

 Prayer ABBA FATHER I humbly thank YOU for YOUR grace and favour. FATHER thank YOU that YOU provide for all my needs. I humbly pray this in ...
