Restoring God

 

April 3

RESTORING GOD – God is a Restorer! He can restore broken homes, bruised relationships, despairing hearts and sick minds. All who once knew His joy, the joy of His salvation, but lost it all, can now have it all restored. Almighty God, who is Sovereign Lord, delights in restoring the lost, the truant, the idle, all who hear His words and turn to Him. Nothing is impossible for Him to restore. Seek Him for restoration.

 

Lord Jesus, restore within me Your saving grace and make Your face shine upon me, that I may be saved. Amen!

 

Read Psalm 80:  1 - 3

 

 

Love Untold

 

April 2

LOVE UNTOLD – Jesus suffered for you. Yes, Love bore excruciating pain, torture, ridicule and utter shame just for you. Do you really believe that God Incarnate, literally left His home in heaven to come to earth to save sinners, including you? He was oppressed and afflicted, and was led to the cross like a lamb to the slaughter. Jesus bore it all and never complained, or blamed, or accused anyone. This was His Father’s will and He accepted it.  Will you accept the Work He completed on the cross for you? Will you not fully live unto Him only?

 

Loving, Sacrificing Jesus, how can I know what You have done for me and I remain impartial to such Love? Forgive me and chasten me, that I may surrender totally to You. Amen! 

Read Isaiah 53: 7 - 9

 

Do Not Be A Fool

April 1

DO NOT BE A FOOL – The Bible readily speaks of fools and gives vivid descriptions of who fools are. None of us as believers, likes to think that she or he is a fool and would quickly deny any such title. However, our lives tell the truth whether we are fools or not. It is the fool who not only says that there is no God, but the actions of fools show the folly of their deception. They are thoroughly deceived about sin and God’s provision for sinners, and so they mock at making amends for sin. Jesus has come, He has suffered and He has died so that you can be saved from your sins. Be not a fool and forfeit His Divine grace.

 

Spirit Divine, save me from the ways of the fool. Amen!

Light To Gentiles

 

March 31

LIGHT TO GENTILES – Gentiles are people who are not Jews. Today, Gentiles are not Christians.  They come in all different forms and persuasions. I know for a fact that to many believers, whose belief is powered by law and not grace, I am a Gentile. What about you? Who are you? If, for whatever reason, you are considered a Gentile by any standard, leap for joy. Praise God that in Jesus you have light and hope. Jesus was and still is a light for revelation to the Gentiles.

 

Thank You Father for Your marvellous and precious Son, Jesus Christ, who has not excluded us Gentiles. Amen!   

 

Read Luke 2: 29 - 32

 

Your Word

 

Your Word is a lamp to my feet, weary, 

That takes away all of its heaviness,

You make them light like the deer’s, surefooted,

Your Word takes away all my unsureness.  

 

Your Word is a lamp to my feet, all blind,

That removes from me all my ignorance,

Making them wise to the deceiver’s ploys,

Your Word gives perfect wisdom and guidance.

 

Your Word is a lamp to my feet, so dark,

That eliminates all my doubts and fears,

Changing my stumbling, blundering gait,

Your Word, the produce of discernment bears.

 

Your Word is a lamp to my feet of faith,

Anchoring, guiding, in myriads of ways,

Feet obedience, in daily surrender,

Your Word, its beauty in such feet displays.

Amen!

 

 

 

 

Sin Not

 

March 30

SIN NOT – The first thing that immediately comes to our minds, when we hear the words, “sin not”, is our human curse, never our divine righteousness.

We proudly announce that it is impossible for a human to live without sin, hence such words are not practical and possible. Yet, we confess that we are now a new creation in Christ and we are led by the Holy Spirit.

Is it possible for alcoholics to live without drinking alcohol? Yes, if they stick with groups such as AA, who help them to refrain from alcohol. Won’t you believe Jesus’ work on the cross?

Sin is no longer your master. However, if you do sin, Jesus has placed Himself to help and save you.

 

Lord, I confess that I am a sinner, prone to sin. I also confess that I am Your righteousness, led and controlled by Your Holy Spirit. Amen!

It's Possible! Believe!

 

March 29

IT’S POSSIBLE! BELIEVE! – Whatever you wish Jesus to do for you, it’s possible. Even when your faith is shaky about it, it’s still possible. Be honest with Jesus and tell Him about your shaky faith. He will help you. I draw your attention to a father who wanted Jesus to heal his mentally troubled son, saying to Jesus that if He could do anything, would He help them. Jesus told that father, in need of stronger faith, that it was not a matter of, if Jesus can do it. It is a matter of belief because, everything is possible for one who believes. Mark 9: 23b. When he asked for Jesus to help him to overcome his unbelief, Jesus did so. Ask, He’ll help you.

 

Holy Spirit, I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief, please. Amen!

Read Mark 9: 20 - 24

 

Waste Or Worship

 

March 28

WASTE OR WORSHIP – Never allow other believers to make you feel that your lavishness in serving and worshipping Jesus is a waste. This happened to a woman who came with expensive perfume to worship Jesus. As she poured it all on Him, some indignantly said that it was a waste of perfume. Jesus saw it as worship not waste, for to Him, it was a beautiful thing.  Be lavish in your worship and thanksgiving to the Lord. He appreciates it all. 

 

Holy Lord, all that I am and all that I have, I gladly and willingly give to You. Amen!

 

Read Mark 14: 3 - 9

 

What's The Verdict

 

March 27

WHAT’S THE VERDICT – In a true court of law, regardless of how long a case takes, the verdict tells whether one is innocent or guilty. This decision or verdict, does not come by the way, but is pronounced after long, thoughtful and wise deliberations. There is a most sad verdict of the state of the world, for which Jesus, the Light of the world died and rose again. The verdict found, is that Jesus has come and people prefer to remain in their darkness. What is the verdict on you? 

 

Holy Lord, You have come and we want to live by Your Light for Your Light is the One True Light of the world. Amen!
