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

 

Repent And Return

 

October 22

REPENT AND RETURN – Repentance to God warrants returning to God. When we repent, we die to all that we have been doing, thinking and speaking, which were offensive to God. We go back to Him fully, to live with Him in the sweetness and abundance, which He has promised us in His Son Jesus. There can be no true repentance, without returning to our loving, accepting, forgiving God.

 

Teach me true repentance, Holy Spirit, for I sincerely want to die to all my waywardness and wretchedness. I really want to live to God only, in His righteousness. Amen!

 

Read 2 Chronicles 7: 14

 

 

Hold Fast To Prayer

 

October 21

HOLD FAST TO PRAYER – Aren’t you at times tempted to abandon prayer? You’ve been praying for you and your family, but it seems that you are praying in vain. The devil comes and shows you that the more you pray, the worse things are becoming. He gives tangible proof of God not hearing and answering you. He shows you how situations remain the same and worse ones are mercilessly being flung on you. Child of God, you are not seeing what you desire, but God is. Though you may be too frail and confused to pray, the Holy Spirit is not. Hold fast to the Spirit who is praying for you. He will keep you.

 

Holy Spirit, I cannot make another step in prayer. Pray for me please. Amen!

 

Read Matthew 6: 7 - 8

 

Brotherly Love

 

October 20

BROTHERLY LOVE - One of the great love-lessons being taught in the parable of the Prodigal Son, is that our Father in heaven, wants us to love as He loves. It is plain to see how the father in the parable, wanted his elder boy to love his younger brother, in the same way he, the father, loved him. Is not our Father in heaven teaching us, commanding us even, to love our brothers and sisters, not because they have done right or wrong, but because He is love? John reminds us that if we love God, we must love our brothers and sisters.

 

Show me how to love You Father, that I may learn how to love my brothers and sisters in You. Amen!

 

Read 1 John 4: 20 - 21

 

Words Help Or Hinder

 

October 19

WORDS HELP OR HINDER – Never underestimate the power of your words. Idle words can be very detrimental to you. Did you know that your words will either be your condemnation or they will be your exoneration? Foolish, unwholesome and slanderous talk are all heard and judged by God. Heed the wisdom of Proverbs 15: 2. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness. Seek always to have wholesome, helpful speech, which seeks to edify.

 

Sift my words Holy Spirit, keep me away from idle talk. Amen!  

 

Read Ephesians 4: 29

 

 

 

Merciful Jesus

 

Lord, please don’t turn from this vessel,

We face only pure disaster,

This storm comes our faith to cancel,

Merciful Jesus, You’re Master.

 

Being battered, tossed and beaten,

There’s nowhere else for us to turn,

We feel like lost souls forgotten,

Merciful Jesus, don’t us spurn. 

 

We are crying, Lord have mercy,

Though faith is frail, we call to You,

Forgive us Lord, our truancy,

Merciful Jesus, save us too.

 

Master, Lord, we know that You hear,

Though our voices are wrapped with fear,

Snatch us Jesus from all despair,

Merciful Jesus, hear our prayer.

 

Please, Lord and Master, save us now,

You still do the impossible,

We do not understand Lord, how,

Merciful Jesus, You are able.

Amen!

 

Jesus Heals Few

 

October 18

JESUS HEALS FEW – The adjective, few, is totally foreign to the manner in which Jesus heals. Healing is not just what Jesus loves to do, but He is obeying His Father’s commands. Here it is, He goes to His hometown and can only heal a few sick. Why is this? Simply because they refused to accept Him for who He was. They held up barriers of doubt, pride, prejudice and more, against Him, dishonouring Him and His works. Jesus is among us in Spirit. Is He healing many or few?

 

Save, we beseech You, O God, from being obstinate like the people in Jesus’ hometown. We are many, who need healing, Father, including me. Amen!

 

Read Mark 6: 5

 

Feeble Faith

 

October 17

FEEBLE FAITH – Is your faith frail and feeble at the moment? Are you only able to faintly trust all that you are receiving of God’s Word? Be not dismayed. The Comforter, Helper, Compassionate Friend and Sweet Spirit of Truth, will not in any way, be less pitiful to you. Walk on in the sure faithfulness and fullness of a Most Gracious, Holy Spirit, who will strengthen you in the Spirit and bring you to sure, steady, strong walking in God. 

 

All-knowing Holy Spirit, You saw my needy plight. All praise to You, for there is hope of change in You. Thank You for helping me out of my weakness. Amen!

 

Read Isaiah 40: 29

 

Keep Knocking In Prayer

 

October 16

KEEP KNOCKING IN PRAYER - If we are honest and sincere about our knocking in prayer, we will have to confess that we often find prayer to be a bit daunting, scary and even burdensome at times. Many a believer finds prayer to be nothing but a closed door. You knock but find it still closed. Keep knocking. Follow the attitude of Peter, who refused to stop knocking at the door of the gate, until it was opened to him.

 

Holy Spirit, I seek to learn and know more of importune prayer. Please teach me. Amen!

 

Read Acts 12: 13 – 16
