Power Of Death

 

June 28

POWER OF DEATH – Death comes in many ways. We all have tasted and still taste the bitterness of the deaths of fear, hopelessness, depression and uselessness. God chose to accomplish victory over all deaths, in a most different and utterly strange way, which no human mind could ever comprehend. With the coming of a baby, a most helpless, innocent, and vulnerable human, the most powerful was shaken. See death as the most powerful ruler on the earth then.  Death held reign and threw its weight around. Then the most powerless comes to earth and the powerful begins to weaken and lose ground.

Heavenly Father, help me in my faith to accept that You still use this world’s weak to overcome this world’s strong. Amen!

Read Isaiah 40: 28 - 31

 

Blessings

 

You send showers on the just and unjust,

So Father God how can we not but trust,

That You can send blessing on the whole race,

Regardless of someone’s portion or place;

Our families need Your help and healing,

Evils of sin we’re seeing and feeling.

 

The rain is falling on both wheat and weed,

Both in Your earth, heaven’s watering need,

If they are to grow, to be strong and thrive,

For by Your showers each is kept alive;

For our families urgently help we plead,

Demon forces are plaguing us indeed.

 

With one rain shower the whole garden’s blest,

And every plant Your free blessings ingest,

For those that were brown and ready to die,

O how they bounce back with jubilant cry;

For our families, one Spirit-fall I pray,

From wretchedness snatch us, without delay.

 

Creator, God of all heaven and earth,

We Your children are of more precious worth,

Send down Your free blessings upon us all,

Save us Jehovah, from missing Your call;

Heal families, with all our filthy sin,

Love blessings alone can our vile hearts win.

As one rain-shower the whole garden wets,

And no plant at all Your open Hand vets,

Let Your providential, pardoning grace,

Fall upon all ere our station and place;

Our families need Your help and healing,

By faith, through grace, we will know Your sealing.

Amen!

 

Trust God's Promises

 

June 27

TRUST GOD’S PROMISES – Whoever you are in this time, be encouraged with these gracious promises of Almighty, Father God. Our all-seeing, all-knowing, all-wise Father knows all about you and how very afraid, weak and helpless you are to defend yourself against the enemies around you and within you. His word to you in this time is not to be afraid anymore, for He promises to be with you, strengthen you and uphold you with His Mighty, Right Hand. God will never fool you with vain promises. Trust Him and live. 

 

Thank You Father, for reminding me of who I am in You and with You. Amen!

 

Read Isaiah 41: 9 - 14

 

 

Name Above All Names

 

June 26

NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES – The Name of Jesus is not just a good and holy Name, but it is a powerful Name. When God exalted Jesus to the highest place, He exalted His Name above all others. He gave the Name of Jesus, total Authority in heaven, in hell and on earth. His Name will be acknowledged by every tongue to God’s pleasure and glory. Ever keep the Name of Jesus, Holy.

 

Blessed, Holy and Mighty Name of Jesus, we reverence You and give homage to You. There is none other like You. Blessed be Your Almighty Name. Amen!

 

Read Philippians 2: 9 – 11

 

Faith Not Works

 

June 25

FAITH NOT WORKS - Now listen! Your Salvation has nothing to do with what you have, or have not done. It makes no sense to look at others, because whether or not they have done good or bad, it does not have any bearing whatsoever on grace.  God’s purpose and God’s grace are not activated by human effort or lack of it.  These are His and His alone to give, as He desires. Take your eyes off your good works and by faith, accept the grace by which all sinners are saved.

 

Divine Heavenly Spirit, save me from the folly of thinking that my good deeds will help to bring me salvation. Amen!

 

Read Romans 11: 1 - 6

 

 

Ask The Father

 

June 24

ASK THE FATHER – What a word of grace and privilege has been given to all who are in Christ Jesus! Do you know that Jesus has given you the authority, without limit, to go directly to His Father in heaven, and speak to Him? What Jesus has spoken to His disciples, He has spoken to you too, as His disciple. Now is the time, now is the place when Jesus has told you to approach His Father, in His Name. When Jesus says that His Father will give you what you ask for in His Name, believe Him. Unbelief is a blocker! 

 

Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus, grant me the boldness of faith to believe and always come to You with Your Son’s assurance. Amen!

 

Read John 16: 23 - 24

 

Be Humble

 

June 23

BE HUMBLE – Humility is who Jesus was and still is. Jesus, although He was God, never puffed up Himself or was arrogant in His dealings with others. We must vigorously and consciously guard against haughtiness and pride. We must never ever think of ourselves more highly than we ought. Let our faith dictate our sober-mindedness and genuine love. If Jesus, in the service of His Heavenly Father, humbled Himself then who are we to think that we can be and do otherwise? No servant is to be above his or her Lord.

 

Father, I delight to be in Your service. Teach me daily humility please. Amen!

 

Read Romans 12: 3 – 8

 

 

Man Of God

 

June 22

MAN OF GOD – Are you a man of God, then you are a father to many. True, you may or may not have sired a child, or children, but God has made you a man and you are called to be a father to others. Many a child is drifting deeper and deeper in the abyss of depression, loneliness and evil deeds, for lack of a father’s tender love, care and discipline. Man of God, be like Paul, and miss no opportunity to be a father to those who need you. God will help you in this also. 

 

God bless you, O man of God! God grant you the wisdom and strength to be a good father to those who need you. Amen!

 

Read 1 Corinthians 4: 14 - 17

 

Father's Day

 

June 21

FATHER’S DAY – As we celebrate fathers today, we first give God, our Heavenly Father, thanks and praise for making Himself a Father to all. We give God thanks for fathers whom He has given to us, to care and nurture us, after God’s own heart. Are you a father? Then you are a gift from God to your child or children. As a father, your responsibility is life-long for you are a father forever.

 

Today, we pray especially for you, father. Our prayer is that you may realize the onerous and serious responsibility of service to your children, to love and care for them. May you always seek God to help you to be a good father. Amen! 

 

Read Colossians 3: 21

 

A Father's Love

 

 

You’ve daughters and sons, one or two maybe,

Whoever they are, be not blind to see,

Because they are yours, you are called father,

They belong to you, not to some other,

Be the best father in understanding,

In your giving, more so in your loving,

For a father’s love remains firm and strong,

In times of obedience and times of wrong,

Love of a father comes down from above,   

Love that’s expected, huge problems to solve,

Love so tender, compassionate and kind,

Your offspring will in it, peace and joy find,

Being a father is no easy task,

Daily you must go before God and ask,

That He’ll grant you wisdom and inner sight,

To be an example, living aright,  

That those whom you father, may emulate,

As you with Father God, daily relate,   

Father, grandfather, god-father or more,

Guardian or whoever you are, be sure,

That you look to God, your Father above,

To teach you the way of a father’s love.  

Amen!
