Testimony of Three

 

June 19

TESTIMONY OF THREE – Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God? Do you believe that He came to us by water and blood? You believe because the Holy Spirit bears witness of this truth and He cannot lie.  Three bear record in heaven about the truth of Jesus, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 1 John 5: 7b KJV. If we can receive the witness of humans, know that the witness of God is even greater. The Trinity bears witness to Jesus, Son of God.

 

Three in One God, we receive Your witness of Jesus in our lives, for Your word assures us that all who believe in Your Son, have the witness of Him, in them. Amen!

Model Fathers

 

June 18

MODEL FATHERS -

There are fathers whose example all can see,

Their loyalty, honesty and sincerity,

Men who’ve shouldered their responsibility,

So children don’t grow up in futility, 

Fathers who don’t their children provoke,

Who the ways of love in their children evoke,

Fathers who go beyond their call of duty,

Spreading fatherly love in all its beauty.

 

Our Father in heaven, thank You for fathers who can be emulated. Grant them wisdom, strength and added courage to be father to theirs and others. Amen!

 

Read Proverbs 20: 7

 

Truant Fathers

 

June 17

TRUANT FATHERS – Sadly, the fact is that many a home is without a father, for several and varied reasons. Many are the missing fathers, because they have negated their role as father, refused to accept the duties of a father or simply do not care or feel in any way obligated to the children they sire. Indeed, story upon story of the truant father is heart-breaking, but the power of prayer lies in the hands of all believers. We can make intercession for truant fathers, asking Father God to intervene and do the miracles only He can do. 

Our Father in heaven, we pray for fathers who show no concern and whose hearts are stubborn and hard. Reach down and help them to see the error of their ways, that they may repent and turn to You as Father. Amen!

Read Malachi 4: 5 – 6

 

One God

 

June 16

ONE GOD – Pause! Remember! Our God comes to us as One God, in Three Persons. God, the Father; God, the Son; God, the Holy Ghost. This is  important, for many will try to tell you otherwise. Let no one try to reason with you, telling you that you are worshipping three Gods. Let not ignorance, nullify truth. On the occasion when Jesus came to His disciples to commission them, He spoke clearly of baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28: 19b. In this act, Jesus was not teaching His disciples about three Gods. He was acknowledging the personalities of the One, Triune God.

 

Lord, I believe that You are One. I thank You that You have come to us in, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen!

Read Matthew 28: 18 – 20

 

In The Holy Trinity

 

Join us together in Holy union,

Through the baptism of our Lord, Your Son,

That Your promise of the Holy Spirit,

We will receive, not by any credit,

But by grace, through faith in Christ our Saviour,

Sent from the Father to be our Redeemer.

 

Join us together in Holy oneness,

That we may know Pentecostal fullness,

As the Spirit moves and makes us all one

In Him, with the Father and with the Son,

That we may live the truth of One Spirit,

One Father, One Son, to whom we commit.

 

Join us together in Holy marriage,

That we may know the freedom from bondage

In new life born of the Holy Spirit,

Life not mandated by human limit,

But life lived in the Holy Trinity,

One God - blessed and glorious unity.

Amen!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trinity Sunday

 

June 15

TRINITY SUNDAY – Today we celebrate Trinity Sunday and Father’s Day. As we celebrate our Father in heaven, who is God – Father, Son and Holy Ghost – the Holy Trinity, we pause a while to thank Him for fathers. We give thanks for fathers who emulate Him as Father, showing love and care in the things that they do and say. We honour and lift Father God high and hold up to Him all fathers, men, who understand their role as father and who acknowledge the gift of parenthood.

 

May God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost, be with fathers this day and always. Amen!

 

Read Psalm 103: 13

 

Convicting Spirit

 

June 14

 

CONVICTING SPIRIT – The Holy Spirit’s work includes convicting us. Jesus said that when the Spirit comes, He will convict the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. Do you realize that the Holy Spirit has already come down to permanently reside with us? This means that convictions are going on all the time. Do not turn away from the convictions of the Spirit, but listen and seek a more pleasing life of love and truth.

 

Convict me of my sins O Lord. Never let me rest until I seek forgiveness and receive Your free and full pardon, to work in Your service. Amen!

 

Read John 16: 7 – 11

 

Spirit's Gift Of Healing

 

June 13

 

SPIRIT’S GIFT OF HEALING – Healing, believe it or not, comes as a gift, which the Holy Spirit gives to believers. These gifts - wisdom, faith, prophecy and the list goes on - are given for the common good. Focus has been given to gifts of healing, because too many believers are quick to confess they do not have that gift.  Do you know whether or not gifts of healing have been given to you? Why not spend a few moments in prayer, asking our Holy Spirit to reveal truth to you, that you may not, because of not knowing, be hiding your gifts under the bushel of ignorance.

 

Holy Spirit, show me what gifts You have given to me. Help me to use them to the Lord’s honour and praise. Amen!

 

Read 1 Corinthians 12: 7 - 11

 

Spirit In Anger

 

June 12

SPIRIT IN ANGER – There are times when the Holy Spirit comes in power upon those He is enabling, with anger. In other words, their anger comes upon them from the Spirit and not from their human responses. When this happens, one is given the power to do that which pleases the Father. This is exactly what the Spirit did to Saul one day. The Spirit of God came powerfully upon him, and he burned with anger. 1 Samuel 11: 6b. The Spirit has not changed, neither has man’s sin changed. He still comes upon us in power, to put righteous anger in us, to do our Father’s will.

 

Whatever Your power produces in me, Lord, may I be humble to accept. Amen!
