Mighty Work

 

October 30

MIGHTY WORK - We are Jesus’ and He has come to shower us with His mighty works, in limitless abundance. Are we receiving in no meagre measure, of His mighty work? The problem is not Jesus, neither His power. He is present with all His power intact and we are also present with all our pompousness and dishonouring attitude. Jesus is present, prepared and ready to do His mighty work, but not one person receives. What a lamentably sad situation! How are we in the presence of Jesus, the Living Word? Is our plight a lamentable one?

Holy Spirit, Living Word, You are among us in mighty power, yet we do not receive any of Your works. Change and humble us Lord, according to You. Amen! 

Read Mark 6: 1 - 6

 

Jealousy

 

October 29

JEALOUSY - Remember, wicked jealousy is of the evil one. Know also that he is never ever slow, weary or reticent in pouncing upon God’s people, whenever and wherever he can. The devil knows only too well that jealousy is not of God. In his scheme of evil ways, he knows that if he can inveigle God’s people to live with jealousy, he is ensured of victory upon victory. Child of God, jealousy is not of your Father in heaven.

 

 

Preserve us Holy Father, from all jealousy, which come directly from the father of jealousy. Amen!

Read Proverbs 27: 4

 

Cling To Good

 

October 28

CLING TO GOOD - Savour this picture of vines clinging to trees.  They all grow totally from the trees to which they cling. One of the things that strikes me with mind-piercing truth is that the clinging plants, never touch the soil or earth. Whether a vine has roots or not, its roots or whatever it possesses, feeds totally from the tree. When we cling to Jesus our Vine, and feed entirely on Him, by faith with thanksgiving, we feed on what is good. Cling to Good, cling to God.

 

Thank You Father that in You is our strengthening, nourishing food, which never is rationed and never runs dry. Amen!

 

Romans 12: 9

 

Jesus Heals All

 

October 27

JESUS HEALS ALL – Sometime ago, both my refrigerator and my washing machine were in need of dire repairs. I called in the service technician to fix the fridge. While he was there, I happened to mention about my machine and he calmly said that he also repairs washing machines. Sometimes, we forget that Jesus is Healer of ALL our problems and ailments. He heals all manner of diseases known to humankind. You have nothing that Jesus cannot cure and fix. 

 

Jesus, You are the same healer of Bible times. Heal us too, please! 

Amen!  

 

Read Luke 4: 40 - 41

 

 

Abandon Prayer

 

October 26

ABANDON PRAYER -

Abandon prayer, the devil says, Come, seek help by some other ways,

He tells you look and see it plain, Your daily praying is in vain,

For your God couldn’t for you care, He shows no evidence, He’s there,

Your God is silent in your grief, Praying daily brings no relief,

In pure weakness, feeling great fear, From deep within, this I do hear,

Other ways? I know only one, Jesus, God’s One, Begotten Son,

Abandon prayer, the devil says, No! I’ll hold fast to God’s given ways.

 

Pray in me Holy Spirit. Pray in me. Amen!

 

Read Romans 8: 26

 

Word Of Mercy

 

October 25

WORD OF MERCY – Are you in desperate need of help, to keep you from crashing, mentally, physically and spiritually? Cares and responsibilities have not let up, but have worsened. The tempter has cornered you, telling you of your futile prayers, saying that God does not hear you. He shows you that the more you pray, the worse things are becoming. He tells you, ‘Abandon prayer, God does not hear.’ Weary and weak one, just look! God will rescue you. He is a God of mercy. His Word of Mercy is before you.

 

Living Word of Mercy, please grant me Your strength and sustenance. Amen! 

 

Read Isaiah 30: 18

 

Refresh Me Lord

 

Inspired from Luke 11: 9 and Matthew 15: 3b. 

Refresh me Lord, this early morn,

Let all the old from me be torn,

That with new feet, heart, soul and mind,

All baggage will be left behind,

In the freshness of this new day,

Lord Jesus teach me how to pray.

 

Show me the error of my way,

In things I do and what I say,

For ere the day comes to its light,

And like the birds I take my flight,

Refresh me with Your words all true,

That I’ll hold fast no other view.

 

Help me hold firm all You command,

And not what traditions demand,

At Your feet, before the sunrise,

Free me from all that block my eyes,

All that bind in tradition’s chains,

So Your Word in me will yield gains.

 

You command believers to pray,

Ask, seek and knock is what You say,

In unchallenged authority,

You spoke with truth and verity,

Receive, find, surely will happen,

Knock, prayer’s door to you will open.

 

New words and ways take positions,

They’re becoming new traditions,

My words on prayer become less true,

As you look to another view,

Prayer becomes not what I command,

Only what traditions demand.

 

Lord, I hear, as hearing You give,

Please have mercy and me forgive,

Ere I would face a brand new day,

Teach me my Master, how to pray,

Bathe me in Your commands in prayer,

Refresh me, ere I rise from here.  

Amen!

 

Delivery Day

 

October 24

DELIVERY DAY – In some businesses, days are allocated just for deliveries. It’s the time when they deliver goods and services of all kinds to people who have requested and purchased them. That’s not uncommon to you. However, do you know that God does deliveries also, on a daily basis? Listen to David, on this particular delivery day, how he lifts high his worthy to be praised, God.  I will call upon the LORD who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies. Psalm 18: 3. Make today your delivery day also. Call on God. He’s most welcoming and worthy. Remember! He works for your good. 

 

O God my Deliverer, I will love and praise You more and more! Amen!

 

Read Psalm 18: 1 - 3

 

Good And Evil

 

October 23

GOOD AND EVIL - Good is God in all fullness. Evil is the devil, in all fullness. Just as only God is good, for He is the completeness of good and the embodiment of all the attributes of good, so it is with the devil. Satan, or the devil, is the completeness of evil and the embodiment of all the attributes of evil. It is because the devil is evil and every single thing and person who belongs to him is evil that we, who belong to God, must guard against the lies of the evil one.

 

God, in Christ Jesus, You know the devil well and have never hesitated to speak out against his lies. Keep exposing him before us, for without Your truth, we will be deceived. Amen!

 

Read John 8: 44
