Blood Of Jesus

 

March 28

BLOOD OF JESUS –

There is Power in the Blood of Jesus,

To cleanse every single one of us,

Blood of victory, power and might,

Cleanse, wash and make us sinners aright.

 

We choose You Lord Jesus, because You have chosen us. You chose to give Yourself to us. You gave Your Blood freely and willingly to save us sinners. There is power in Your Blood and by faith we receive, in our mortal bodies, all that Your Blood does for us. Thank You for being our ever working High Priest. You are the One and Only accepted of the Father, to intercede for us. Purify us with the power of Your cleansing Blood. Amen!

 

Read Hebrews 9: 11 - 14

 

Scapegoat

 

March 27

SCAPEGOAT – In the Book of Laws, we are told of the saving work of scapegoats. The high priest had to, lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites - all their sins - and put them on the goat’s head. Every sin, regardless of quantity or quality, was placed on the goat’s head. In that way, sins were atoned for. Has Jesus been used by God as a Scapegoat for us? It must be so, if He is the only One to atone for our sins. 1 John 2: 2 says, He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

 

Atoning Lord, we bow low before You. We offer our lives in thanks to You. Amen!

Read Leviticus 16: 8 – 10; 21 - 22

 

God Shows No Favouritism

 

March 26

GOD SHOWS NO FAVOURITISM – Do you honestly know that God does not show favouritism? Do you know this by being told so, or have you witnessed it for yourself? Here’s Peter’s confession, when Jesus sent him to minister to a household of non-Jews. After schooling and changing Peter, this servant obeys His Lord and goes on mission. It was while he and some of his companions were in the house of a Gentile that Peter openly confessed these words. I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism. Acts 10: 34b. God is no respecter of persons, but accepts anyone who believes in Him. Do you really know that God is not about favouritism?

Holy Lord, Creator God, thank You for love that knows no boundaries. Amen!

Read Acts 10: 34 - 35

 

Live God's Promise

 

March 25

LIVE GOD’S PROMISE – The promise of God is that if you come to Him in faith, believing that He can and will give you His peace and rest, then why do you worry so? Too many a believer is drowning in the deep wells of grief, sorrow, and worry. Some are lost in the rotting aroma of self-piety, timidity, and fickle pride. These, and more, bar us from receiving God’s promises. Look at your life? Are you flourishing in the bounty and beauty of God? 

 

Holy, Father God, thank You for the comfort and assurance of all Your promises. Free us to be able to appropriate each one, please. Amen!

 

Read Numbers 23: 19

 

 

Joy In The Word

 

March 24

JOY IN THE WORD – Have you ever given thought to Zacchaeus’ changed countenance when Jesus called him down from that high, sprawling tree? You see, he heard Jesus’ voice deep within his sad, sin-sick soul and immediately, he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. Luke 19: 6. One, who was bitter and unloved, shows the signs of one delighted with joy. With a crowd of people before him, the one person to make Zacchaeus feel pure joy, is Jesus and the words He speaks to him. Jesus is present among your crowd and is speaking to you. Will you hear, come to Him and find real peace and joy in His words?

 

You call Jesus and I have come as I am. Thank You for inner peace and gladness. Amen! 

Read Luke 19: 1 - 9

 

Prepared In Christ

 

March 23

PREPARED IN CHRIST - Do we truly appreciate how much Jesus wants us fully prepared as His people, so that He will not have to be, in any way, ashamed of us? Remember, God’s Word is truthful, so all that the Word says about us must be seen in us. Do you know that He wants us all, who are His, to be holy and blameless in His sight? We are prepared for Him in Jesus, through whose blood we have full redemption. We must surrender to Jesus.

 

Thank You Jesus, for preparing us to be as right and pleasing, before Father God. Amen!

 

Read Ephesians 1: 3 - 10

 

 

Cherished Creation

 

March 22

CHERISHED CREATION – Do you know that you are God’s cherished creation? Do you know that He wants you to know how much His love for you is strong and unending? God loves you!

 

Holy God, we who are Your prized and cherished creation, are aware of Your love and care for us and about us. Forgive us our tardiness to be strong and firm in Your love. Forgive us that we are easily distracted and brought down by enemy voices telling us lies about You. Holy! Holy! Holy! You are Holy and Your Name is Holy. Thank You for Your Ever Living, Ever Powerful Word. Thank You for spreading Your Word over us, around us and within us. Amen!

 

Read Zephaniah 3: 16 - 17

 

Thanks For The Blood

 

 

Thanks for the Blood, the precious Blood of the Lamb,

For its power to snatch me from where I am,

Power to stand against the most demanding foe,

Promise of Blood for the sinful life below.

 

Thanks for the Blood, efficient Blood of the Lamb,

Trustworthy to save me and keep me from sin’s harm,

Efficient, effective, to wash and make whole,

Every wretched, every guilty sin-sick soul.

 

Thanks for the Blood, pardoning Blood of the Lamb,

Saw me when I was under sin’s curse and damn,

Ineffable Blood! Who can its worth tell?

All I know is its Might that took me from hell.

 

Thanks for the Blood, surpassing Blood of the Lamb,

Fortresses and keeps safe from every alarm,

Faithful, its cleansing, pardoning work to do,

Ineffaceable Blood, Jesus Lamb, thank You.  

Amen!

 

 

Feed And Succeed

 

March 21

FEED AND SUCCEED – You will agree that if you are feeding daily on spinach, your iron levels will be good and you’ll be less likely to be anemic. Likewise, if you are feeding on the food of Jesus, His Word, you will not be spiritually deficient or anemic. Your condition tells your nutrition.

 

Your Word, O God, is our nourishing food. Thank You for the bounty of Your life-giving and life-sustaining Word. Amen!

 

Read Job 23: 10 - 12

 

Jesus Must Leave

 

March 20

JESUS MUST LEAVE - When Jesus rose from the grave, He did not remain on earth in bodily form. He returned from whence He came and sent the Holy Spirit, another Comforter, to be with His people, you and me included. Jesus has been crystal clear on this point that unless He leaves the earth, in Risen Body, and returns in Spirit, there will be no true, everlasting life with God.

 

Jesus, You no longer walk the earth in flesh, but You are present with us and in us in Spirit. May lives of faith testify daily to the wisdom of Your leaving. Amen! 

 

Read John 16: 5 - 11
