Promise Keeper

For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us - 2 Corinthians 1:20.

           God’s promises never fail. Some people who had made promises to us would have failed to keep it. But God keeps promises and He is our promise keeper. God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? - Numbers 23:19.

           God promised descendants to Abraham and He kept His promise. Abraham believed that God would do what He had said as nothing is too hard for God. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform - Romans 4:20,23.

             God is faithful to fulfill all His promises in our life. I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them - Jeremiah 32:42. Let us hold on to the promises of God with faith. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful – Hebrews 10:23.

                                                        

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for all Your promises. We believe that You are faithful to fulfill all the promises in our life. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

God Who Exalts Us

    Wait on the Lord, And keep His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the land - Psalm 37:34.

               God will exalt us to inherit the land when we wait on Him and keep His ways. The Lord will lift us up in life when we humble ourselves under His mighty hands. Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time - 1 Peter 5:6. God exalts us before the sight of all people around us. The Lord spoke to Joshua: Today I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so they will know that I will be with you just as I was with Moses - Joshua 3:7.

                  The Almighty God came down to earth and He humbled Himself and was obedient to the point of death on the cross. So, the Father God exalted Lord Jesus Christ above every person and above everything in this world and in Heaven. The Father has exalted Him, that every knee should bow down at the name of Jesus Christ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord - Philippians 2:9-11.

                God will exalt us in His time and so let us wait on the Lord. Though Joseph was cast into prison, God exalted him as in charge of the whole land of Egypt. So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt” - Genesis 41:41. He made him ride in the heights of the earth, that he might eat the produce of the fields; He made him draw honey from the rock, and oil from the flinty rock - Deuteronomy 32:13.

                                           

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the Lord who exalts us. Help us to humble ourselves under Your mighty hand till You exalt us in due time. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Giver Of Good Gifts

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning - James 1:17.

                     Our God is the giver of gifts. God’s gifts to us are good, perfect and right on time. If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?  If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” - Luke 11: 11-13. Every blessing we have in our life are the gifts of God.

                      God is the giver of wisdom, strength, grace and love to us. But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him - James 1:5. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak - Isaiah 40:29. But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” -  James 4:6. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind - 2 Timothy 1:7.

                 God gives us the peace which the world can never give us. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid - John 14:27. Let us delight ourselves in the Lord as He will give us the desires of our heart. Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart - Psalm 37:4. Let us look at everything that our good God gives us as good as He is the giver of good gifts.

                                                        

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the giver of gifts. We thank You for all the good gifts You have given us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

He Has Done Everything Well

People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.” - Mark 7:37.

               Isaiah prophesied that God would arrive and heal the eyes of the blind, the ears of the deaf, the walk of the lame, and the voice of the mute. Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, He will come with vengeance; with divine retribution He will come to save you. Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy - Isaiah 35:4-6.

              A man who was deaf and mute was brought by people to Jesus for healing. The people who brought him told Jesus to put His hands on the man and to heal him.  Jesus brought the man apart from the crowd and He put His fingers into the ears of the man. Then He spit and touched the man’s tongue. Jesus also looked up to heaven and said with a deep sigh, “Ephphatha” which means “Be Opened!”.

            Suddenly his ears were opened and he began to speak as his tongue got loosened. Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly - Mark 7:35. The people were amazed and said that “He has done everything well”. Jesus came to save us and heal us. Let us thank God as He has done everything well in our life. The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad - Psalm 126:3.

                                                     

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for doing everything well in our life. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Love In Action

My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him - 1 John 3:18,19.

              We should love each other not only with words or speech but with actions and truth. We do not have love of God if we are not helping people in need. By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? – 1 John 3:16,17.

             Let us address the needs of other people with love in action. What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?  Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.  If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?  In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead - James 2:14-17.

              Let us follow the example of Christ and walk in love with others. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma - Ephesians 5:2. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others - Philippians 2:4. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works - Hebrews 10:24.

                                                                                                   

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to love others not only in words but also in action. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

The Lord Is Near To Us

Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near - Philippians 4:5.

                Throughout the Book of Psalms, David says that the Lord is always near to us. You are near, O Lord, and all your commandments are true - Psalm 119:151. The Lord is near to all who call on him - Psalm 145:18. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit - Psalm 34 18.

              David beautifully describes how the Lord is near to us always, no matter where we go. Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me - Psalm 139:7-10.

                 The Lord is near to all who call on Him in truth. The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth - Psalm 145:18. As God is always near to us, let us approach His throne of grace and get the mercy and grace of God. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need - Hebrew 4:16.

                                                                

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for always being near to us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

God's Supernatural Provisions

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus - Philippians 4:9.

           God’s supernatural provisions are always available for us. Our God is a miracle working God who turned water into wine. He is Jehovah Jireh, our provider. He provided Abraham with ram for sacrifice. Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So, Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son - Genesis 22:13.

            When Elijah was hiding by the brook Cherith and helpless, God commanded ravens to provide him food. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook - 1 kings 17:6. When Israelites were in the wilderness, God was providing them manna every day. And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan - Exodus 16:35.

             God will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory. God who fed 5000 people with 5 bread and 2 fish will increase us and multiply us with His supernatural provisions. May the Lord give you increase more and more, You and your children. May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth - Psalm 115:15. Let us enjoy God’s supernatural provisions in every area of our life.

                                                         

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are a God of supernatural provisions. We thank You for all Your supernatural provisions in our life. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

My Help Comes From The Lord

I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth - Psalm 121:1-2.

                  God is our help and shield when we fear Him and trust in Him. You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield - Psalm 115:11. There is no need to fear about anything in our life as God is there to help us.  For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, Fear not, I will help you - Isaiah 41:13. The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me? - Hebrews 13:6.

                   Let us not trust man for help as no man will help us in any of our situations except God, the maker of heaven of earth. Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save - Psalm 146:3. Let us trust only God and lift up our eyes to Him with faith for our help. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man - Psalm 118:8. Give us help from trouble, for the help of man is useless - Psalm 60:11.

                   God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble - Psalm 46:1. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God - Psalm 146:5. The Holy Spirit is our helper who teaches us all things. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you - John 14:26.

                                                       

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are our helper and our help comes from You, the maker of heaven and earth. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

God's Promises That Sustain Us

Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live; do not let my hopes be dashed - Psalm 119:116.

                       God’s promises sustain us in all our circumstances. God has given us wonderful promises that give us great hope. God’s promises encourage us and lift us up. Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall - Psalm 55:22. Cast all your anxiety on him because He cares for you - 1 Peter 5:7.

                   God’s promises strengthen us when we are weak. My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness - 2 Corinthians 12:9. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand - Isaiah 41:10. Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me – Psalm 54:4.

                    God’s promises of guidance continually guide us in life. God is faithful and His promises will never fail in our life. Let us claim the wonderful promises of God by faith. God’s promises sustain us in our everyday walk irrespective of wherever we are and whatever season we are in. Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus - Philippians 1:6.

                                                 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for Your promises that are sustaining us and guiding us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

More Blessed To Give Than To Receive

It is more blessed to give than to receive - Acts 20:35.

                     It is more blessed to give than to receive as it brings more blessings to us. In Luke 6:38 Jesus said, “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” We will receive good things when we are generous to others. Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely - Psalm 112:5.

                      God loves a cheerful giver. But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver - 2 Corinthians 9:6, 7. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed - Proverbs 11:25.

                   We will be blessed abundantly by God when we consider the poor and needy people. Blessed is he who considers the poor; The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed - Psalm 41:1-3.

                                                          

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for all Your blessings in our life. Let us be more blessed by giving than by receiving. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Joy In His Presence

You will show me the path of life, In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore - Psalm 16: 11.

                    We cannot find a lasting joy in anything that the world offers. But there is fullness of joy in the presence of the Lord, David counted God’s presence as joy in his life. You have made known to me the paths of life; You will make me full of gladness with Your presence - Acts 2:28. When the joy of God remains in us, our joy will become full. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full - John 15:11.

                        The Lord spoke with Moses face to face as he longed for the presence of the Lord.  And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here - Exodus 33:14,15. Moses also asked God to show His glory. For You have made him most blessed forever; You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence - Psalm 21:6.     

                       Nehemiah 8:10 says that Joy of the Lord is our strength. Let us come into the presence of God joyfully with praises. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms - Psalms 95:2 . Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and joy are in His dwelling place - 1 Chronicles 16:27b. Let us be in the presence of the Lord and carry it joyfully to everywhere we go.

                                                            

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us always desire to be in Your presence as there is fullness of joy in Your presence. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

The Spirit Of Discernment

To another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits - 1 Corinthians 12:10.

                         We need the spirit of discernment to identify between the good and evil spirits. Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world - 1 John 4:1. We should be able to discern the best things in life. And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ - Philippians 1:9,10.

                   Jesus is the only way, the truth, and the life.  He will guide us into all truth - John 16:13. We live in a world filled with many false teachers and prophets. But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction - 2 Peter 2:1. With the spirit of discernment, let us test all things and hold on to what is good. Test all things; hold fast what is good - 1 Thessalonians 5:21.

                     When we fill our mind with the word of God, we can discern the spirits easily. Hebrews 4:12 says that “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” The word of God helps us to discern between the right and wrong. Let us become strong in the word of God and grow in discernment with the help of God.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Fill us with the spirit of discernment and guide us into all truth. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Serve God

It is the Lord your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him - Deuteronomy 13:4.

                God’s purpose in our lives is to serve Him. We are God’s masterpiece created by God to do good works. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them - Ephesians 5:10. We are called to serve God with gladness and fear. Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing - Psalm 100:2. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling - Psalm 2:11.

                God has given us many spiritual gifts to serve Him. We can serve God by serving others. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms in time of need - 1 Peter 4:10. God has blessed us with many abilities, talents and gifts. Let us exercise our spiritual gifts to serve God and become a blessing for others.

              God will work in us when we commit ourselves to serve Him. For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure - Philippians 2:13.  Let us serve God faithfully. Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful – 1 Corinthians 4:2. Let us serve God as a family. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord - Joshua 24:15.

                                               

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us serve You faithfully and bring glory to Your name. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

God's Favor

Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield -Psalm 5:12.

                        God’s favor surrounds us like a shield every moment. The favor of God is with us through every season of our life and it lasts a lifetime. For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime - Psalm 30:5. Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord - Genesis 6:8. As God was with Joseph, he got favor in the eyes of the people. The Lord was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden - Genesis 39:21.

                         Daniel found favor in the eyes of officials. Now God had caused the official to show favor and compassion to Daniel - Daniel 1:9. Mary found favor with God. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God - Luke 1:30. And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man - Luke 2:52.

                         When our life is filled with love and faithfulness, we will find favor in the eyes of God and man. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man - Proverbs 3:3,4. A good man obtains favor from the Lord - Proverbs 12:2. For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the Lord - Proverbs 8:35.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let Your favor always surround us like a shield. Help us to find favor in the eyes of people. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Bitterness

Indeed it was for my own peace that I had great bitterness; But You have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit of corruption, For You have cast all my sins behind Your back – Isaiah 38:17.

                     We cannot both love God as well as be bitter with anyone. If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? - 1 John 4:20. If we hold bitterness in our heart, we are liars. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic - James 3:14,15.

                   Bitterness affects us physically and also causes trouble to others. It will destroy our relationship with God and others. Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled - Hebrews 12:14,15. It will give place to the devil in our life. Be angry, and do not sin: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil - Ephesians 4:26,27.

                      Holding bitterness toward anyone prove that we are walking in the flesh and not in the spirit. We should forgive others just like Christ had forgiven us. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you - Ephesians 4:31,32. 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us not to hold bitterness toward anyone. Fill our heart with Your love. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Hunger And Thirst For God

As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God - Psalm 42:1,2. 

                   David thirsted for God like the deer that longs for streams of water. When we thirst for God, He will pour out His spirit on us. For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring - Isaiah 44:3. Let us be refreshed by the living water that comes from the Lord. Taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him - Psalm 34:8.

                   Peter compares us to new born babies to have a desire for the milk of the word. Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious - 1 Peter 2:1-3. Let us hunger more for the word of God. I long for Your salvation, O Lord, And Your law is my delight - Psalm 119:174.   

                   When we hunger and long for God, He will satisfy us and fill us with His goodness. For He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness - Psalm 107:9. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it - Psalm 81:10. He will fill us by His Holy Spirit and use us mightily for His glory. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled - Mathew 5:6.

                                                      

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Increase our hunger and thirst for You to be satisfied and filled with Your goodness. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

God's Plan For Us

 A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps - Proverbs 16:9.

                God has greater plans for our life. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future - Jeremiah 29:11. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way - Psalm 37:23. When we trust God, He will direct our paths. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

                The word of God will teach us God's plan by showing the next step of our life as it is the lamp to our feet. The Holy spirit will teach us all things and lead us. Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies - Psalm 27:11. When we commit everything to God, He will establish our plans. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans - Proverbs 16:3.   

                God’s ways and thoughts are always higher than our ways and thoughts. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts - Isaiah 55:9. Let us discover God’s plan in our life and completely submit to it.  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God - Romans 12:2.

                                                                                          

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Reveal us Your great plan that gives hope and future in our life. We submit us to Your loving plan to work in our lives.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Ask God In Prayer

Ask and it will be given to you - Mathew 7:7.

                 Prayer is nothing but communicating with God. It is the powerful weapon that breaks the strongholds in our life. It causes things to happen in our life. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it - John 14:14. God promises us that when we ask anything in His name, He will do it. You do not have because you do not ask - James 4:2. 

                If we believe that we will receive whatever we ask God in prayer, we will surely receive it. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them - Mark 11:24. When we call God, He not only answers our prayers but shows us great and mighty things which we never know. Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know - Jeremiah 33:3.

                      God answers all our prayers when we pray in accord with God’s will.

God will bless us exceedingly and abundantly more than we ask Him.

Abide In Me

                  We abide in God when we abide in love. God is love, and He who abides in love abides in God, and God in him - 1 John 4:16. When we keep the commandments of God, we will abide in God’s love. As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love - John 15:9,10.
