The Only Wise God

To the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen -Romans 16:27.

               God’s wisdom is infinite. He is the only wise God and His wisdom is deep. Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! - Romans 11: 33. To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen - Jude 1:25.

               Daniel says, “Wisdom and might are His” (Daniel 2:20). We see God’s wisdom in creation. The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens - Proverbs 3:19. O Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all. The earth is full of Your possessions - Psalm 104:24. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen - 1 Timothy 1:17.

          Let us ask our only wise God to give us wisdom to lead a successful life. Solomon asked the Lord for wisdom to lead his people. God blessed him with wisdom and all other blessings. King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth - 1 Kings 10:23. For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding - Proverbs 2:6.  

                                            

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the only wise God, Fill us with Your wisdom. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

The Father Of Mercies

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort - 2 Corinthians 1:3.

              Our God is the father of Mercies. His mercies are new every morning. Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness - Lamentations 3:22,23. Our God is rich in mercy (Ephesians 2:4) His mercies towards us is great. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him - Psalm 103:11,17.

                Two blind men cried out to Jesus for mercy on them. When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!” - Mathew 9:27. Jesus had mercy on them and touched their eyes. Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” And their eyes were opened - Mathew 9:29,30. Let us approach our father of mercies to obtain mercy in time of needs. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need - Hebrews 4:16.

                 God’s mercy is abundant in our life. For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You - Psalm 86:5. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead - 1 Peter 1:3. Let us return to our father of Mercies. So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm - Joel 2:13. Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful - Luke 6:36.

                                        

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the father of Mercies. We thank You for Your abundant mercies in our life. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.                  

The Eyes Of The Lord

The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good - Proverbs 15:3.

            The eyes of the Lord are everywhere and He sees all that we do. For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him - 2 Chronicles 16:9. God’s protection is always with us as He watches us wherever we go. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go - Genesis 28:15.

             God’s eyes are on all our ways. For His eyes are on the ways of man, And He sees all his steps- Job 34:21. For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, And He ponders all his paths - Proverbs 5:21. My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from me, nor is their sin concealed from my eyes - Jeremiah 16:17. God’s eyes counsels us. I will guide you with My eye – Psalm 32:8. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous - 1 Peter 3:12.

             God's eyes sees all our needs. He is El Roi, the God who sees us. The Lord who sees Hagar in the desert, sees us and cares about us. Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, “Have I also here seen Him who sees me? - Genesis 16:13. Keep me as the apple of the eye - Psalm 17:8.

                                           

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You as Your eyes are everywhere and watching us everywhere we go. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

The All-Knowing God

God is greater than our heart, and knows all things (1 John 3:20).

                 Our God is omniscient which means He knows all things - the past, present, and future. He is the source of all knowledge. He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite - Psalm 147:4-5. God knows us even before we were formed in the womb. Before I formed you in the womb I knew you - Jeremiah 1:5. In Matthew 10:30, Jesus said, the very hairs of our head are numbered.

         God knows all our ways and situations.You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether - Psalm 139:4. He knows the end from the beginning of everything. Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure’ - Isaiah 46:10.

           God knows everything about us including our thoughts. O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off - Psalm 139:1,2. The Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts - 1 Chronicles 28:9. I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own - John 10:14. He knows all the things that we need even before we ask Him. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him - Mathew 6:8.

                                                 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the All-Knowing God. We thank You for knowing all our ways and everything about us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Jesus Is Coming Soon

Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book -   Revelation 22:7.

               The coming of the Christ is near and we are living in the last days. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows - Mathew 24:7,8. The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray - 1 Peter 4:7.

             Jesus Christ may come at any time soon. No one knows the exact timing of His coming. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night - 1 Thessalonians 5:2. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect - Mathew 24:44. And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work - Revelation 22:12.

             When God comes as righteous judge, He will reward us according to our work. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad - 2 Corinthians 5:10. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing - 2 Timothy 4:8.  Let us stay strong in the Lord and keep watching for the coming of the Lord. He is coming soon!!

                                                 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to be prepared and prepare others as You are coming soon. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

God Is For Us

“If God is for us, who can be against us?” - Romans 8:31.

             God is for us always and so nothing can be against us. When I cry out to You, Then my enemies will turn back; This I know, because God is for me - Psalm 56:9. The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? - Hebrews 13:6. God gave His one and only son for us. He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? - Romans 8:32.

              God cares for us. Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you - 1 Peter 5:7. The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him - Nahum 1:7. Nothing can harm us as God is always for us. All things will work together for good in our life as God is for us. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose -- Romans 8:28.

              Our God who is greater and awesome in power fights for us. Do not be afraid of them; the LORD your God himself will fight for you - Deuteronomy 3:22. For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory - Deuteronomy 20:4. As the Lord is fighting all our battles for us, let us be still and know that He is our God. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still – Exodus 14:14.

                                                       

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You as You are always for us in the midst of all our situations. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Our God Reigns

To God our Savior, who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen - Jude 25.        

                  

               Our God reigns over heaven and earth. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him - Colossians 1:16. The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; The Lord is clothed, He has girded Himself with strength. Surely the world is established, so that it cannot be moved - Psalm 93:1.  

                 Our God reigns over us and all our situations. The Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all - Psalm 103:19. “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” - Revelation 1:8. Both riches and honor come from You, And You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; In Your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all - 1 Chronicles 29:12. Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me” (Matthew 28:18).

            Our God reigns over all the nations. God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne - Psalm 47:8. Our great God is an awesome, mighty and sovereign God who controls the will, the mind, the thoughts, and the heart of every king. So Proverbs 21:1 says, “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases.” Our God reigns forever!!

                                                            

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for reigning our life and our nations with Your power and might. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Hearing God's Voice

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me - John 10:27.

                     God's voice can be heard  in many different ways. By hearing God’s voice and walking according to it, we can fulfill the plan and divine purpose of God in our life. God speaks to us through His word. The living word of God is the lamp to our feet and light to our path. For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart - Hebrews 4:12.

                     We can hear God’s voice while we pray. God will show us great and mighty things which we never know when we pray. Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know - Jeremiah 33:3. When we draw near to God in prayer, He will draw near to us. God also speaks to us in dreams and visions. He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds. He whispers in their ears and terrifies them with warnings. He makes them turn from doing wrong; he keeps them from pride - Job 33:15-17.

                    The Holy spirit 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. So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace - Romans 8:6. The Holy spirit leads us, guides us and counsels us. Let us be tuned to God’s voice and obey to it.

                                                                  

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to hear Your voice and walk according to it. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

God Is Our Faithful Provider

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus - Philippians 4:16.

                Our God is faithful in providing all our ultimate needs. God knows what we need even before we ask Him. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him - Mathew 6:8. He provides us His loving presence to us. For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me - Psalm 23:4. God’s provision and protection for us is always perfect.

                  God cares about everything we care about and He understands all our needs. He is Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord who provides us. God revealed Himself as Jehovah-Jireh to Abraham. And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided” - Genesis 22:14.

               God provides us with everything more than what we have imagined. Jacob would not have imagined that the Lord would provide for his family during the time of famine through Joseph. But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive - Genesis 50:20. Let us thank God, our faithful provider!!

                                                      

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are our faithful provider. We thank You for providing us with everything we need. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Lord, Heal Our Land

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land - 2 Chronicles 7:14.

          Our land needs God's healing. The healing of land by God starts with the people of God. As the children of God, let us humble ourselves before God, pray and seek His face and turn from our wicked ways. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy” - 1 Peter 1:15,16.

 Humble

         We can see God’s favor when we humble ourselves to God. Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord - Proverbs 16:5. He does not forget the cry of the humble - Psalm 8:12. These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word – Isaiah 66:2.

          Pray           

        God instructs us to “pray continually” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). You do not have because you do not ask - James 4:2. Ask and it will be given to You - Mathew 7:7. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth - Psalm 145:18.

Seek His face

          God calls us to seek His face always. Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always - Psalm 105:4. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart -Jeremiah 29:13. Seek the Lord while He may be found; call on him while He is near – Isaiah 55:6.

 Repent

          Repentance leads to salvation of God. Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord - Acts 3:19. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded - James 4:8.

          As we humble ourselves, pray and seek the face of God and turn from our wicked ways, God who keeps promises will hear us from heaven, forgive our sins and heal our Land. “I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more” (Jeremiah 31:34). Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things - Joel 2:21.

                                                  

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We humble ourselves before You. We plead for Your divine intervention and healing in our land. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Armor of God

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil - Ephesians 6:11.

                  To stand strong against the schemes of enemy, we need to put on the whole armor of God every day. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God - Ephesians 6:14-16.

Gird your waist with truth

                 God's truth is our shield and buckler. When we wrap God’s truth around us, we will be protected. Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” - John 8:31,32.

Breastplate of righteousness

                 Our breastplate of righteousness is the righteousness of God in us. God has clothed us with righteousness. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him - 2 Corinthians 5:21.

Gospel of peace

                  As Christ lives in us, we have the peace of God in us. Let us proclaim this gospel of peace with shoes of readiness to others. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” - Isaiah 52:7.

Shield of Faith

            Our faith in God becomes a shield for us. As faith comes by hearing, our faith becomes stronger when we hear the word of God and spend time in prayer. My soul waits for You Lord, my help and my shield - Psalm 33:20.

Helmet of salvation

               We need to protect our mind with the helmet of salvation as devil always try to attack our thought life with defeated and hopeless thoughts. Let us put on the helmet of salvation which is the hope and resist the work of devil. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation - 1 Thessalonians 5:8.

Sword of the spirit

               The sword of the spirit which is the word of God is the only offensive weapon to defeat Satan.  For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart - Hebrews 4:12.

Praying in Spirit   

              God wants us to be persistent in prayer. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints - Ephesians 6:18. Jesus teach us to pray, “Deliver us from evil one” (Mathew 6:13). Pray without ceasing - 1 Thessalonians 5:17.

                                                       

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to put on the whole armor that You have provided us every day to stand up against the wiles of enemy. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Peace Be With You

Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you” - John 20:19.

                        Jesus declared to His disciples “Peace be with you” when He first met the disciples on the evening of the first day of the week, the day in which He was resurrected. The disciples who were in fear in their locked room were glad when they saw the risen Lord. So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you” - John 20:21. The resurrection of Christ brought peace to us.

                        Jesus before His crucifixion also encouraged His disciples to be in peace. These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world - John 16:33. 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.

                     The peace of God turns all our fears into joy. As long as we trust and stay with God, the perfect peace of God will always stay with us. You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You because He trusts in You - Isaiah 26:3. Let the peace of God that surpasses all our human understanding keep our hearts and minds through Jesus Christ our Lord.

                                            

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the God of peace. We thank You for Your peace that calm all our fears. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Watch And Pray

Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak - Matthew 26:41.

                  Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane and He wanted His disciples to join with Him in prayer. As His disciples felt asleep without praying, He told them to watch and pray to avoid temptation. To stand strong in the midst of trials and temptations, we should always be spiritually alert and pray. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me and I will listen to you - Jeremiah 29:12. When we pray, God  brings changes to our situations.

                God is calling us to cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us. Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you - 1 Peter 5:7. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you -1 Thessalonians 5:16. As devil is a roaring lion, we need to be always attentive and watchful in prayer. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour - 1 Peter 5:8.

                 Prayer gives us the strength and power to meet the challenges of life in the last days. 1 Peter 4:7 says, “The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and self-controlled so that you can pray.” Let us take up the whole armor of God to stand strong in evil days. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand - Ephesians 6:13.

                                                             

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to be always watchful in prayer. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Walk In The Newness of Life

Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life – Romans 6:4.

                 God wants us to walk in the newness of life just as He was risen from the dead. To walk in newness of life, we need to leave the old life behind and live in Christ. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new - 2 Corinthians 5:17. Once we become a new creation, God will start to make all things new in our life. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert - Isaiah 43:19. Behold, I make all things new - Revelation 21:5.

               To put on the new man, our old man should be put off and our mind should be renewed. That you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness - Ephesians 4:22-24. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God - Romans 12:2.

                 To walk in the newness of life, we need to set our mind on things above. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth - Colossians 3:2. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus - Ephesians 2:5. God will give us a new heart and spirit to walk in newness of life. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh - Ezekiel 36:26.

                                                    

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to walk in the newness of life. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

My Shield

My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart - Psalm 7:10.

               The most high God is our shield. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold - Psalm 18:2.  God promised Abraham that He will be his shield. After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.” - Genesis 15:1. As God is our shield, nothing can harm us. His truth shall be your shield and buckler - Psalm 91:4.

                God is a shield to all those who trust Him. He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him - Proverbs 30:5. Joshua and Caleb were the only ones to enter the promised land as they believed that the Lord would go before them as their shield. The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him - Psalm 38:7.

               God surrounds the righteous with a shield. For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield - Psalm 5:12. For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly - Psalm 84:11. He is our shield and the one who lifts our head. But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head - Psalm 3:3.

                                                      

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for Your mighty protection by being a shield around us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Praising God

I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever - Psalm 86:12.       

             

                    Our God is great and greatly to be praised and He is worthy of praises. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable - Psalm 145:3. Let us offer sacrifice of praises to God continuously at all times with all our heart. Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name - Hebrews 13:15. I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth - Psalm 34:1.

               We can overcome obstacles in our life by praises. In the book of Joshua, the Israelites were confronted by the wall of Jericho. When they praised God, the walls of Jericho came down (Joshua 6:20). In the book of Acts 16, Paul and Silas were thrown into jail. In the midnight, they began to pray and sing praises to God. At the end they were set free and the family of jailer came to know about God (Acts 16:25-40). I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies - 2 Samuel 22:4.

                Let us praise God who remembered us in our lowly state and blessed us. God had worked great wonders in our life. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame - Joel 2:26. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord! - Psalm 150:6. Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; Sing praises on the harp to our God -Psalm 147:7.

                                                              

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We praise You for Your faithfulness in our life. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Overcome Fear

For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you” (Isaiah 41:13).

                  Fear is a tool used by devil to destroy our lives. First it begins as a thought and later it starts to rule us. For as he thinks in his heart, so is he - Proverbs 23:7. God wants us to walk by faith but devil wants us to walk by fear. When we submit to God and resist the devil, we can gain victory over devil. Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you - James 4:7.

                     The Lord has promised to help us, strengthen us and uphold us. Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand - Isaiah 41:10. 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. The Lord is on my side, I will not fear -Psalm 118:16.

                     Fear is not from God. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind - 1 Timothy 2:7. God’s word gives us the hope. For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope - Romans 15:4. The promises of God strengthen our faith. Let us overcome fear by faith and lead a victorious life.

                                                                

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for strengthening us and helping us to overcome fear. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.   

Christ Lives In Us

                    The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you - Romans 8:11.

                 God loves us so much that He filled His Son with the power to overcome death so that we could have eternal life. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us. God’s resurrection power is in us. The Lord reminds us that the Spirit of God is alive in us, so that we might find joy in this life. As Christ lives in us, we are blessed with every spiritual blessing. We are the temple of the Holy spirit and Christ work in us through His spirit.

                We no longer live as Christ lives in us. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. We are strengthened to fight the spiritual battles as the spirit of God dwells in us. Christ in us is the hope of glory. To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory - Colossians 2:20.

               As the Holy Spirit lives in us, we receive power to serve Christ. You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me - Acts 1:8. The Holy Spirit produces the fruit of the Spirit in us, which is “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control” (Galatians 5:22-23). As Christ lives in us, He will transform us to become more like Him. Our life is worth the living and there is no need to fear about anything as the Christ who lives in us holds our future.

                                             

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You as You live in us, we can face tomorrow without any fear. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Christ Is Risen

He is not here; for He is risen, as He said - Mathew 28:6.

                 On the day of Jesus’ resurrection, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary arrived at the tomb of Jesus. They saw the tomb rolled away and an angel sitting on the top. The angel told them that the Lord is risen as He had promised and the tomb is empty. He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you, while He was still with you in Galilee - Luke 24:6.                    

               With fear and great joy, they went out quickly from the tomb and ran to tell His disciples. As they went, Jesus appeared and told them to tell that Jesus is coming to see them. God raised Him from the dead - Acts 13:30. But God raised Him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him - Acts 2:24.  

               When the disciples went away into Galilee, Jesus came and spoke to them about the great commission. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen - Mathew 28: 19,20. Let us rejoice and tell others about the risen king.

                                                            

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the resurrection and the life. Help us to share the gospel with others. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
