GOD, my Rock!

GOD is our Rock.  HE is always there and is immovable.  All HIS promises HE keeps.  HE does not falter or change.

Everything we read in the Bible is dependable and is GOD breathed.  We need not ever think that our GOD will let us down or change HIS mind or change HIS plan for our lives. 

What we need to do is to ask GOD for HIS guidance for our lives and we need to get into HIS plan rather than try to fit HIM into our plans.

We need to "right size" our GOD and know that HE is as immutable as the rock pictured above.  We can then know in confidence that with our GOD at our sides, we can achieve the impossible.  

Let us pray for GOD's direction in lives and let us draw near and feel the immense love of our GOD for each one of us today.  

Prayer: Heavenly FATHER GOD, today I pray that I come to know YOUR perfect plan for my life.  I pray FATHER that YOU guide my life rather than me trying to fumble through it.  I pray FATHER that YOU will show me YOUR perfect way.  I humbly ask this in the Holy Name of my Lord and Saviour, my Redeemer, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay perfectly securely GOD blessed today!

Trust in the LORD!

The Psalmist tells us that those who trust in the LORD cannot be shaken.  This is because we have our awesome, wonderful CREATOR on our side when we trust in HIM.  We need to trust GOD completely no matter what the circumstances that we find ourselves in. 

Draw closer to GOD today.  Come to HIM in prayer and then trust HIM completely for HIS ways are perfect.  We cannot imagine what GOD has in store for us if we let go and trust HIM with all of our being.

Nothing will move us or shake us with our GOD on our side!

Prayer: Heavenly FATHER, today I put my trust in YOU.  YOU guide me and show me YOUR way FATHER.  I humbly pray this in the Name of my Lord and my Redeemer, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay faithfully GOD blessed today!

My help comes from THE LORD!

GOD is our help in times of trouble.  However GOD is always with us, whether we accept HIM into our lives or not.  HE is our creator.  HE creates everything that lives on earth.

This Psalm is a very real reminder of how big, how omnipotent, how omniscient, how omnipresent our GOD is.

Even people who deny GOD are HIS creation.

We, as Children of the Living GOD can turn to HIM and KNOW that HE is always with us.  

So today let us lift our eyes up to the mountains, and know that our GOD not only created the mountains, but HE is so much bigger.  Nothing is too hard for HIM.

Prayer: Heavenly FATHER, I thank YOU for my life.  I thank YOU for this creation, the universe.  I thank YOU that YOU are on my side.  I pray today FATHER that I can feel  YOU by my side and help me to know that I am YOUR child.

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

Stay lovingly GOD blessed today.  

A living hope!

GOD has given us a new birth!  Such a wonderful powerful thought.  GOD has given us a new birth into a living hope.  Jesus Christ lives!   He rose from the dead and overcame death for our salvation.

Therefore once we accept Jesus Christ as our Saviour, and our Redeemer, we are on the way to life eternal.  We have a new hope that we will share in the Kingdom of Heaven with Him.  We are heirs to this Kingdom.  We have are born again into the life eternal!

Today if we have not already done so, let us accept Jesus as our Saviour.  Let us pray to GOD and tell HIM that we know that HE is our FATHER and that Jesus is HIS Son sent to die on a cross and overcome death in order to save us from our sins.

We are all sinners, so along with acceptance of Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, we need to accept the grace of GOD.  We are forgiven of our sins.  But we need to ask for forgiveness.  Jesus told us that we need to pray to GOD and ask HIM to forgive our sins.  But the rider to this (the contract with GOD) is that we also need to forgive those who have sinned against us.  

So let us concentrate today on those who have sinned against us.  Let us name them to our FATHER in Heaven and let us tell GOD that we forgive them.

Then let us name our sins to GOD and HIM to forgive us AS we have forgiven those who have sinned against us. 

Prayer: ‘Our FATHER  who art in heaven,
hallowed be YOUR Name,
10 YOUR  kingdom come,
YOUR  will be done,
  

on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our sins,

as 

we also have forgiven those who sin against us.
13 And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from the evil one.

For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory,

Forever and ever.  Amen"

Stay wondrously, graciously GOD blessed today!

Tree of life!

As spring brings forth the leaves on the trees and life becomes fresh with the anticipation of summer rainfall, so we need to take stock of our lives as Christians.

The Bible talks about the tree of life.  In reality, we need to be as trees. Let us look at the analogy.
  
As we learn to know our GOD, as we walk with HIM so our roots (faith) strengthen and push downwards, (giving us a secure basis for our lives) ever thicker and stronger (ifrm and unshaken)and seeking more water.  (knowledge and a deeper spiritual relationship with our FATHER).  Then we start to see the trunk thicken and leaves leaves growing on the branches, (our spiritual gifts) and the fruit comes first in small little flowers (our growth and maturity in GOD and HIS talents given to each one of us) which fall off and give rise to the end result - the fruit (our gifts) and ultimately to seeds which can be replanted to produce more trees.  And lastly we can prune the branches which do not produce good fruit. 

Today let us stop and contemplate a tree and then let us strive to be like the trees in our faith.

Let us feed our faith and water our spiritual growth.  We can do this by reading our Bibles daily, by praying to GOD and strengthening our faith.  Ultimately we will reap the benefits and grow in Jesus.

Prayer: Heavenly FATHER GOD, I thank YOU for YOUR grace and love and I thank YOU that I can be like a tree.  I humbly ask that you help me to strengthen my faith through which I will produce good fruit.  I pray this in the Holy Name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay awesomely GOD blessed today. 

Jesus is the bread of life!

Jesus is the bread of life.  This means that if we love Jesus with all our hearts and with all our strength and with all our mind and with all our soul, He will sustain us. 

Our faith in Him means we will never hunger or thirst.  This does not mean that we will not be physically hungry or thirsty.  It means that spiritually we will be fully satisfied.

The Holy Communion is a reminder that Jesus died on the Cross for our sins, so that we could have eternal life.  When we take Communion we have bread and water or wine.  This is a reminder that Jesus will feed us spiritually as well as a reminder that He is our living sacrifice.  An atonement for our sins.

What we need to do is to make Jesus our all.  We need to feed off His word and drink off His spirit and be filled with the love that He has for each one of us.

Prayer: Heavenly FATHER GOD, I thank YOU so much for the love that YOU have for me that YOUR Son died to save me from my sins.  I thank YOU FATHER that I can drink of the blood of Jesus and save myself through repentance.  I thank YOU that in YOU I will never hunger.  I thank YOU in the Holy Name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay completely GOD Blessed today!

GOD my refuge!

We need to accept Jesus Christ as our Saviour.  We need to accept that Jesus will come back to earth and redeem us.  We need to earnestly pray for the forgiveness of our sins.  We need to forgive those who have sinned against us.

But most of all we need to want an eternal life with GOD.  GOD is our refuge and our strength.  HE is an ever present help in times of trouble.

Today let us draw close to our Heavenly FATHER and read HIS word.  Let us pray to HIM in fervour today.

Prayer: Heavenly FATHER GOD, I love YOU FATHER.  I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour.  I pray, FATHER, that YOU will forgive my sins as I forgive all those who have sinned against me.  I pray all of this in the Holy Name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay GOD blessed today!

Jesus has set us free!

It is in Jesus that we are finally set free from sin and given a chance to have an eternal life with GOD in Heaven. 

Today let us grab this opportunity and make a real effort to get our lives in order.  Let us make a concerted effort to set time aside each and every day to talk to GOD, to read HIS word, to fill ourselves with the Holy Spirit by doing good works.

Let us turn to GOD and love HIM with all our hearts and all our strength and with all our mind and with all our soul.  Let us love each other and forgive readily all the wrongs that are done to us.

Let us set our lives in order to accept the second coming of Jesus Christ.  

Prayer: Heavenly FATHER GOD, I thank YOU that I can be free in Jesus.  I thank YOU for YOUR grace and I beg for your forgiveness for all the wrongs that I have done.  Fill me with YOUR Holy Spirit and let me pour out love on all those around me.  I pray this in the Holy Name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ Amen.

Stay freely GOD blessed today!

Believe in Jesus!

Our Awesome, Amazing GOD gave us HIS Son Jesus Christ.  Jesus is our living sacrifice, sent to this earth.  He lived amongst us and He died for us on the cross of Calvary.  

Jesus rose again on the third day and came back to earth, as a living being.  He walked on this earth for 40 days after His crucifixion.  This so that we might KNOW that He is the Son of GOD.

Apart from the fact that Jesus walked on water (Matthew 14:22-33) and turned water into wine. (John 2:1-11) He healed the sick, the lame and the blind, (Matthew 8:16).  He is our Redeemer.  (Zephaniah 3:17) His blood was shed so that we could have an eternal life with our FATHER in Heaven.

Jesus is our scapegoat.(leviticus 16:10).  Therefore, if we want the eternal life with GOD, we need to believe in Jesus Christ.  THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO GET TO HEAVEN!

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life.  No one comes to the FATHER except through me" (John 14:6).

Today accept Jesus Christ as our Saviour.  Make amends with GOD.  Ask for forgiveness of our sins and forgive all those who sin against us.  

Prayer: Heavenly FATHER GOD, I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour.  I accept that He died to save me from my sins. I  humbly pray for the forgiveness of all my sins.  FATHER I repent and ask that YOU forgive me.  I forgive all those who sin against me.  

I pray this in the Holy Name of my Redeemer, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay lovingly GOD Blessed today!

Jesus is Coming!

Jesus is coming back to take all His followers up to Heaven.  That is written in the Bible and is verified in many places.  There will be a loud trumpet call and all His angels will gather the living from the four corners of the earth.

However, only those who have accepted Jesus as their Saviour and have asked GOD for the forgiveness of their sins are going to be called up with Him.

Today let us not put it off.  Accept Jesus as our Lord and our Saviour right now.  Fall on our knees and beg GOD to forgive our sins.  Forgive all those who have sinned against us and be ready.

Prayer: Heavenly FATHER GOD, I pray that YOU prepare me for the coming of YOUR Son Jesus.  Help me FATHER and forgive my sins as I forgive all those who sin against me. 

FATHER I accept YOUR Son Jesus as my Redeemer and I know that He went ahead of me to prepare a place for me.  I humbly ask FATHER that YOU accept me into YOUR kingdom today.  

I ask this in the Holy Name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay truly GOD blessed today.

Jesus never changes!

Jesus is constant.  He never changes.  He was with GOD in the beginning and HE will be with GOD at the end of times.

GOD is also constant.  GOD loves us and HE wants a relationship with us.  That is never in question.  The question is, do we love GOD and do we want a relationship with HIM.  Then we need to go to Jesus.  No one goes to the FATHER except through Jesus.

Let us today draw near to our Saviour, and let us ask in His Name that GOD becomes a huge part of our lives.  Let us read our Bibles and know what GOD what wants for us through HIS word.  Let us pray continually and ask GOD for HIS guidance in our lives.  Let us ask all of this in the Holy Name of Jesus.

Prayer; Heavenly FATHER GOD, I thank YOU for YOUR Son Jesus. I thank YOU that YOU never change.  I thank YOU that Jesus never changes.  Today I ask that I change and move towards YOU FATHER.  I humbly ask this in the Holy Name of my Lord and Saviour, my Redeemer, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay constantly GOD blessed today!
