  • 166 - Desires

    Hello,


    Desire - Sunday 28th of April 2024


    Philippians 4:11-13 NKJV

    Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: [12] I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. [13] I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.


    Prayer: I will be satisfied with what the Lord gives me and not be greedy in Jesus name.


    I understand that most of us have things we’re looking for in life. It is good to have aspirations however they need to be kept in check and remain balanced always.


    states of mind that are expressed by terms like wanting, wishing, longing, or craving.

    The words; wish, want, fancy, aspiration, yearning, eagerness, and determination come to mind.


    Exodus 20:17 NKJV

    "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."


    If we are true to ourselves and really genuine, we will admit that some of our prayers as believers have been as a result of someone else’s achievement.

    Our so called faith at times is actually ‘’I want because of”

    Find room to appreciate God because someone else has received. No agenda prayer.


    Ecclesiastes 1:8 NKJV

    All things are full of labor; Man cannot express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, Nor the ear filled with hearing.


    Can you look and it ends there?

    Can you hear and it remains at that?


    Ecclesiastes 6:9 NKJV

    Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.


    Wants will and keeps getting most of us in trouble. We keep coming back to God with the same prayer of forgiveness because of it.


    Proverbs 30:15-16 NKJV

    The leech has two daughters- Give and Give! There are three things that are never satisfied, Four never say, "Enough!": [16] The grave, The barren womb, The earth that is not satisfied with water- And the fire never says, "Enough!"


    When will you stop taking?

  • 165 - Inheritance

    Hello,


    Inheritance - Sunday 21 April 2024


    Psalm 71:17-18 GNT

    You have taught me ever since I was young, and I still tell of your wonderful acts. [18] Now that I am old and my hair is gray, do not abandon me, O God! Be with me while I proclaim your power and might to all generations to come.


    Prayer: Lord I will not stop to declare of your goodness in my life in Jesus name, Aman.


    Privilege / rights /


    Romans 8:16-17 AMP

    The Spirit Himself testifies and confirms together with our spirit [assuring us] that we [believers] are children of God. [17] And if [we are His] children, [then we are His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His spiritual blessing and inheritance], if indeed we share in His suffering so that we may also share in His glory.


    Christians can be too apologetic when it comes to enjoying inheritance received as a result of accepting Jesus Christ.

    It is not a crime to want the best for your life.


    Genesis 17:6-8 NKJV

    I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you. [7] And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. [8] Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God."


    Do not feel guilty to offer a prayer desiring a blessing for yourself from God.

    It is an error to feel guilty about being more than a Conqueror.

    Why should you be apologetic about sharing your testimony with others?

  • 164 - A mirror of Gods word

    Hello,


    A mirror of God’s word


    can also mean ; Image or reflector


    1 Corinthians 11:1 NKJV

    Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.


    Prayer: Hello God ; Father of Jesus Christ and also my Father through grace and salvation by the blood. I want to be one with your word in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!


    Opening remarks:

    It seems like time is on ‘fast forward’ with the evidence seen in how the days, weeks, months, and years are passing by. This unfortunately means we’re constantly chasing success and/or fulfillment (employment, business, family, friendships, society, hobby’s, exercise and health living, and all other goals in life).


    It’s important as a born again child of God (Christian) to pause or stop and ask yourself “what I’m I doing with or about the word of God in my life”?.


    However long you have been born again, the word has been and I’m sure continues to be taught/spoken and read.


    1 Timothy 4:12-16 AMP

    Let no one look down on [you because of] your youth, but be an example and set a pattern for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in [moral] purity. [13] Until I come, devote yourself to public reading [of Scripture], to preaching and to teaching [the sound doctrine of God’s word]. [14] Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, [that special endowment] which was intentionally bestowed on you [by the Holy Spirit] through prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands on you [at your ordination]. [15] Practice and work hard on these things; be absorbed in them [completely occupied in your ministry], so that your progress will be evident to all. [16] Pay close attention to yourself [concentrate on your personal development] and to your teaching; persevere in these things [hold to them], for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you.


    ‭‭The word of God should be lived.

    We should commit to God’s word.

    Our speech, character, personality, behavior should reflect God’s word.


    Ephesians 4:32 AMP

    Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding], forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave you.

  • 163 - It is finished

    Hello,


    It is finished - Sunday 31 March 2024


    “Settled / over and done with”


    Self condemnation, judgment, accusation, negative talk, terrible self fulfilling prophesies, evil thoughts, not loving one self, loneliness, anger, jealous, envy, sickness, etc.


    John 3:16-17 NKJV

    For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. [17] For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.


    John 19:30 NKJV

    So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.


    John 20:1-2,9,28-31 NLT

    [1] Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. [2] She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, "They have taken the Lord's body out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!" [9] for until then they still hadn't understood the Scriptures that said Jesus must rise from the dead. [28] "My Lord and my God!" Thomas exclaimed. [29] Then Jesus told him, "You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me." [30] The disciples saw Jesus do many other miraculous signs in addition to the ones recorded in this book. [31] But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of his name.

  • 162 - The way out

    Hello,


    4:9-10 NKJV

    Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. [10] Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."


    Prayer : Father help me to recognize you always in Jesus name.

    Being aware of


    People are looking for a way out of:


    Relationships (friendship, partnership, acquaintance, dating, courtship, marriage)

    Poverty (suffering & life struggles)

    Failure (education, business, plans)

    Unemployment (warning & signs to be fired)

    Sickness & disease

    Mental breakdown (mental health)


    Thomas asks Jesus the question “how do we know where you’re going if we don’t know the way”?


    John 14:6 NKJV

    Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
