One Door

 

February 12

ONE DOOR – The children’s chorus says: One door and only one and yet its sides are two, Inside and outside on which side are you, One door and only one and yet its sides are two, I’m on the inside on which side are you? In this chorus the question is asked about one’s position in relation to the door. If Jesus is the Door, where are you in relation to Him? Only inside Him, is there guaranteed everlasting life.

 

I believe You Jesus, when You tell us that You are the Gate, the Door, the Way. You are Truth and there is no deceit in Your tongue. Jesus, I remain in You. Amen!

 

Read John 10: 1 - 10

 

Enabler

 

February 11

ENABLER - When you go to a place you don’t know, you feel much less afraid, intimidated and anxious, if you have a guide who is also your guard. It means that you are freer to enjoy what’s been planned for you. Believe it or not, the Holy Spirit is with you to daily guide and guard you through this troublesome world. Follow Him.

 

Holy Spirit, we acknowledge You as our present guide and help. We know that You will always lead us into all truth. We look to You to help us in our learning, understanding and putting Your truth into practice, for You are our enabler. Amen!

 

Read 2 Corinthians 3: 17

 

 

 

Likeness Of Sinful Flesh

 

February 10

LIKENESS OF SINFUL FLESH – Jesus came in the likeness of sinful flesh, not sinless flesh. God sent His own Son, in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. Romans 8: 3b. KJV. It is precisely because He took on weak, human flesh that He knew pain, suffering, temptations and even death, death on the cross.  Because He had flesh, a human body as we have, He could be called our Brother.

 

Thank You Father, for sending us Jesus, to be our Brother and Redeemer. Amen!

 

Read Hebrews 2: 14 - 18

 

Receive God's Salvation

 

February 9

RECEIVE GOD’S SALVATION - God has spoken and He will do all that He has promised, to save every single one of us who is lost. God’s desire for His creation, is not that we be lost in the curse of continued sin. He so wants us cleaned up and saved, He so wants the curse to be broken that He came Himself in His Son, Immanuel, to save us. He died to save you from the curse. Why not receive His free offer?

 

Saviour, I know that my response is crucial, for unless I obey You, I will receive none of Your saving grace. Amen!

 

Read John 3: 14 - 18

 

What's Your Choice

 

February 8

WHAT’S YOUR CHOICE – Let’s track Joshua, a mighty, faithful and courageous leader of God’s people, who had come to the place of public decision-making. God’s children were being stubbornly disobedient, refusing to turn from their idols. Joshua was ready to distance himself, in that he openly said that he and his family would choose to serve the Lord, no other god. What’s your choice? Following the popular ways, or the narrow way? God is not asleep!

 

Holy, One True God, there is no One like You. I have chosen to follow and serve You and You alone. Help me in this please. Amen!

 

Read Joshua 24: 14 - 15

 

Better Days

Better days are coming, better days’ ahead,

Because of Jesus, who suffered and who bled,

By His Blood sufficient, we have hope at last,

Blessed, blessed Jesus, present, future, past.

 

Brighter days are coming, brighter beyond thought,

Bought for us by Jesus, who for our lives fought,

Bringing to all victory, by His grace works wrought,

Boundless! See His bounty, comes in every sought.

 

Bolder days are coming, bolder in its light,

Blinded by no darkness, seeing by faith’s sight,

Blushed with untold mercies, wonderful delight,

Blessings from Christ Jesus, come by day or night.

 

Better days are coming, better we will find,

Brought in full by Jesus, to each trusting mind,

Boldly let us own Him, be not left behind,

Boast we now in Jesus, we are blood consigned.  

Amen!

 

 

He'll Pass You By

 

February 7

HE’LL PASS YOU BY – In the hotel, room service is available every day of the week. Although many rooms are being serviced, you hang a sign on your door and your room is bypassed. No one enters your room because of the sign hanging on the door. Long ago, God told His people to put the blood of animals on their door posts. When the death angel came around, he bypassed those marked houses. We, all who are in Christ, our Blood-stained Saviour, will be passed over, and not know eternal damnation.

 

O the Saving Blood of Jesus! May we always be found in Him. Amen!

 

Read Exodus 12: 12 - 13

 

Keep My Commands

 

February 6

KEEP MY COMMANDS - To keep the Lord’s commands is to remain in His love. Jesus wants us to be as He is and to do as He did. He has pledged His undying Love to us, to love us with the exact Love which He received from His Heavenly Father, while in human clay. Jesus has been humble enough to place Himself in a lowly position, deny all self and self-will to obey His Father. He passionately wants us to keep His commands so that we will know His complete joy. 

 

Holy Father, I know that I’m prone to stray and disobey. I also know that You can save me from my fickle ways and keep me grounded in You. Help me please. Amen! 

 

Read John 15: 9 - 11

 

Obey The Curfew

 

February 5

OBEY THE CURFEW – There was a time when God commanded His people to remain indoors while the angel of death was passing over all of Egypt. They had to be inside a blood-marked house, to be free of the destruction. Will you hear this word as you have never heard it before? No amount of the perfect blood of salvation will save any child of God who refuses to keep the curfew. Even if you belong to a house marked out for salvation, a guaranteed promise to not have the destroyer enter it, you will not be spared God’s wrath, if you disobey the curfew.

 

Keep me obedient Lord, keep me obedient. Amen!

 

Read 1 Peter 1: 13 - 14

 

Our High Priest

 

February 4

OUR HIGH PRIEST – Jesus is our High Priest who has come to us, unlike any other high priest. He entered the Most Holy Place, with His own Blood and He did so once and for all. In so doing, He obtained eternal redemption for us. Think of it! If the blood of animals and ashes, sprinkled on the ceremonially unclean cleansed them outwardly, will not the precious Blood of Jesus be better? O Yes! The Blood of our High Priest, cleanses our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God. Hebrews 9: 14b

 

Jesus, forever our High Priest, we bow before You. Amen!
