Great And Marvelous Are Your Works

              God who did marvelous things for Israelites in dividing the sea, leading them and providing them had done great and marvelous things in our life too.

               God will not only bring us back from captivity but will rebuild us and bring us joy and gladness.

When God brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad - Psalm 53:6.

               Let us thank the Lord who brought us back from captivity and had done great things in our life. When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream.

Then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” The LORD has done great things for us, And we are glad. Bring back our captivity, O LORD, As the streams in the South. Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves with him" - Psalm 126:1-6.

Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace - Exodus 14:13,14.

              Let us thank and praise God who is a man of war. I will sing to the Lord, For He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea! The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him. The Lord is a man of war; The Lord is His name. Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea; His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea. The depths have covered them; They sank to the bottom like a stone. “Your right hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power; Your right hand, O Lord, has dashed the enemy in pieces- Exodus 15:1-6.

Serve God By Serving Others

               For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many - Mark 10:45.

Serve others by encouraging them

          Encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone - 1 Thessalonians 5:14. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another - 1 Thessalonians 5:11.

Serve others by loving them in deed and truth

             My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth - 1 John 3:18. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? - 1 John 3:17. 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? - James 2:15,16. 

Serve like Jesus

          Let us serve others like Jesus who came to the world to serve ans not to be served. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.  And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death - even death on a cross! - Philippians 2:5-8. 

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others - Philippians 2:3,4.   

 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling - 1 Peter 4:9.   

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us serve You by serving others. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Connection With God

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful - Colossians 4:2. 

                Jesus took time and often went out to pray to connect with God. Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God - Luke 6:12. Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed - Mark 1:35. And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray - Mathew 14:23.

               Jesus who came to do the will of Father connected with Him by praying in the garden of Gethsemane and submitting to His will before He was crucified. He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will” - Matthew 26:39. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me - John 6:38.

             Let us connect with God in prayer and submit all our requests in prayers and petitions like Jesus. During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission - Hebrews 5:7. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus - Philippians 4:6,7. 

                                                                

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us devote ourselves to prayer to be connected with You always. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

          By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness, O God of our salvation - Psalm 65:5. How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you - Psalm 66:3. Come and see what God has done, His awesome deeds for mankind! - Psalm 66:5.

Marvelous deeds

          Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who alone does marvelous deeds - Psalm 72:18.

Wonderful deeds

           I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and exult in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High - Psalm 9:1–2.

Mighty deeds

           I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds - Psalm 77:12. We hear them in our own tongues speaking of the mighty deeds of God - Acts 2:10.

           Let us thank God for all His awesome, marvelous, wonderful, and mighty deeds in our life. Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders - Psalm 105:1, 2. Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people - Psalm 9:11. Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people - 1 Chronicles 16:8.

                                                                   

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for all Your awesome, marvelous, wonderful, and mighty deeds in our life. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Ask, Seek & Knock

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you - Matthew 7:7. 

Ask

             God will give us whatever we ask as we believe Him, remain in Him and ask anything according to His will. And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive - Mathew 21:22. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you - John 15: 7. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us whatever we ask we know that we have what we asked of Him -1 John 5: 14, 15. 

Seek

           As we seek God, we will find Him and we will never be forsaken. And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You - Psalm 9:10. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back from captivity - Jeremiah 29:12 – 14. 

Knock

            God will open the doors that are closed as we knock. See, I have set before you an open door and no one can shut it - Revelation 3:8. The One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their King will pass through before them, the Lord at their head - Micah 2:13.   

                                                               

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for giving us what we ask, for helping us to find You as we seek and for opening the closed doors as we knock. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

You Have Turned For Me My Mourning Into Dancing

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness - Psalm 30:11.

             Jacob mourned for many days for his son Joseph when he heard that a wild beast has devoured him. So they took Joseph’s tunic, killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood. Then they sent the tunic of many colors, and they brought it to their father and said, “We have found this. Do you know whether it is your son’s tunic or not?”.  And he recognized it and said, “It is my son’s tunic. A wild beast has devoured him. Without doubt Joseph is torn to pieces.” Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days - Genesis 37:31-34.

                 The spirit of Jacob was revived when he was told that Joseph was still alive. And they told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt.” And Jacob’s heart stood still, because he did not believe them. But when they told him all the words which Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the carts which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived. Then Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.” - Genesis 45:26-28.

                  God who put off Jacob's sackcloth and clothed him with gladness will turn our mourning into dancing too. For I will turn their mourning to joy, will comfort them, and make them rejoice rather than sorrow - Jeremiah 31:13. Your sorrow will be turned into joy - John 16:20. I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent among you. 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 again be put to shame - Joel 2:25-26.

                                                                     

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for turning our mourning into dancing and making us to rejoice. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

When Falling Into Various Trials

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing - James 1:2-4.

Count it all joy when you fall into various trials

         In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith - of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed - 1 Peter 1:6-7. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. 

The testing of your faith produces patience

          Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord - that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful - James 5:11.

Patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing

           Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect - Matthew 5:48. May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy -  Colossians 1:11.

             Let us have joy in the midst of trial and tribulation as testing of our faith develops patience and that patience have its perfect work, for us to be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal - 2 Corinthians 4:17,18. 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.

Do Not Be Anxious About Tomorrow

 Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble - Matthew 6:34. 

            There is no need to be anxious about tomorrow as God who had created all things will take care of all our needs. I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? And which of you, by being anxious can add a single hour to his or her span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin. Therefore, do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ - Matthew 6:25-31. 

            Those who trust the Lord will surely not be anxious about tomorrow. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit - Jeremiah 17:7,8.

             Let us not be anxious about tomorrow but instead submit all our requests to God who cares for us with prayer and thanksgiving. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus - Philippians 6:6-7. I want you to be free from anxieties - 1 Corinthians 7:32.                                                                               

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us not be anxious about tomorrow but trust You always. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. 

The Lord Most High

 For the Lord Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth - Psalm 47:2. 

              There is no one greater than our most High God, El Elyon who is the Possessor of heaven and earth. For You, Lord, are most high above all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods - Psalm 97:9.  That they may know that You, whose name alone is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth - Psalm 83:18. Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand - Genesis 14:19, 20.

               No evil or disease can come near us when we make the Lord Most High as our dwelling place. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling - Psalm 91:9,10. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler - Psalm 91:1-4.

               Let us praise and thank the Lord Most High who protects us and performs all things for us. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High - Psalm 9:2. I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High - Psalm 7:17. The Lord Most High performs all things for us. I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me - Psalm 57:2. 

                                                                        

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You and praise You as You are El Elyon, the Most High God who protects us and performs all things for us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. 

      

I Will Multiply You

PRAYER: We thank You for blessing us and multiplying us abundantly. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Pray In The Spirit On All Occasions With All kinds of Prayers And Requests

           And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests - Ephesians 6:18.  

Pray in the Spirit 

           For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding - 1 Corinthians 14:14-15. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit - Jude 20.  God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth - John‬ ‭4‬:‭24‬. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans - Romans 8:26.

On all occasions

           Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak - Mathew 26:41.

Nothing Will Harm You

 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you - Luke 10:19.

                 Nothing can harm us as God had given us the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of enemy. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover – Mark 16:17,18. If God is for us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:31. 

                Paul suffered no harm when a viper fastened on his hand and everyone thought that he would die. But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand. So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live.” But he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. However, they were expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god - Acts 28:3-6.

            Let us thank God who had given us the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of enemy and protects us from all harm. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you - Isaiah 43:2. But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one - 2 Thessalonians 3:3. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling - Psalm 91: 9, 10. 

                                                                       

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for giving us the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of enemy. Nothing will harm us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Rely On God’s Strength

The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? - Psalm 27:1.

              God will fight for us as we rely on His strength. 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. You must not fear them, for the Lord your God Himself fights for you - Deuteronomy 3:22. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace - Exodus 14:13,14.

                Gideon defeated Midianites with just three hundred men because of God’s strength, and not his. The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?”. Gideon said to God, “How can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.” The Lord answered, “I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive.” -Judges 6:14-16.  When the three hundred trumpets sounded, the Lord caused the men throughout the camp to turn on each other with their swords - Judges 7:22.

              Let us rely on the strength of God to fight all the battles in our life and not our strength. Blessed is the man whose strength is in You - Psalm 84:5. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me - Philippians 4:13. The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills - Habakkuk 3:19.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us always rely on Your strength to fight all our battles and not ours. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Red Sea & Jericho

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen - Hebrews 11:1.

Red Sea

             The Israelites crossed the Red Sea by faith with no fear. By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned - Hebrews 11:29. Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left - Exodus 14:21,22. To Him who divided the Red Sea in two, For His mercy endures forever - Psalm 136:13.

Jericho

             The Israelites conquered Jericho by faith with patience. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days - Hebrews 11:30. The walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days by faith. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also - James 2:26.  And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city - Joshua 6:20. 

              God will break all the obstacles that are before us and open all the closed doors as we walk by faith like the Israelites and not by sight. The One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their King will pass through before them, the Lord at their head - Micah 2:13. Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters - Isaiah 43:16. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut - Revelation 3:8. I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron - Isaiah 45:2. 

 For we walk by faith, not by sight - 2 Corinthians 5:7. 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us walk by faith and not by sight. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
