Walking In His Ways

                 Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in His ways - Psalm 128:1.    

            God's ways are higher than our ways. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways says the Lord. 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: 8,9. His ways are perfect and strength for us. As for God, His ways are perfect - Psalm 18:30. The way of the Lord is strength for the upright - ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭10‬:‭29‬.

             God teaches His ways to the humble. He leads the humble in justice, And He teaches the humble His way - Psalm 25:9. He made His ways known to Moses as he was a very humble. Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth - Numbers 12:3.  He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel - Psalm 103:7. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord - Psalm 37:23.  

             Let us surrender all our ways to the Lord and walk in His ways. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass - Psalm 37:5. Show me Your ways, O Lord, Teach me your paths - Psalm 25:4. Make me know Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths - Psalm 25:4. Teach me Your way, O Lord - Psalm 27:11. 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 - Proverbs 3:5,6.

                                                                   

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to walk in Your higher ways. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. 

Go Into All The world And Preach The Gospel

               Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature - Mark 16:15.

           The disciples did not stop teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ even though they were beaten and told not to speak in the name of Jesus. When they had called for the apostles and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. So they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ - Acts 5:40-42.

          The great commission of the Lord is to go and preach the gospel to every person of the world. For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! - 1 Corinthians 9:16. Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching - 2 Timothy 4:2. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” - Matthew 9:37-38. 

           Let us preach the gospel irrespective of situations. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry - 2 Timothy 4:5. And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give - Matthew 10:7-8. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you - Luke 10:19. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes - Romans 1:16.                                                                                        

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

The-Lord-Will-Provide

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 provided Abraham the lamb to be sacrificed as a burnt offering instead of his son. Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together - Genesis 22:8. Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son - Genesis 22:13. 

                God provided the Israelites in the wilderness and sustained them. You also gave Your good Spirit to instruct them, And did not withhold Your manna from their mouth, And gave them water for their thirst. Forty years You sustained them in the wilderness; They lacked nothing; Their clothes did not wear out And their feet did not swell - Nehemiah 9:20,21. And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet - Deuteronomy 29:5.      

              God who is our provider will provide all our needs and so there is no need to worry about anything in our life. Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?. Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? - Mathew 6:25-27.  Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble - Mathew 6:34.  But you would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you - Psalm 81:16. 

     My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus - Philippians 4:19.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our Provider. We thank You for providing all our needs. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Promise Keeper

         Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; everyone was fulfilled - Joshua 21:45.

                 God’s promises will never fail. 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. He is faithful to keep all His promises. He who promised is faithful - Hebrews 10:23. 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 promised Abraham a great multitude of descendants when he had no children and multiplied him greatly. For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,  saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”  And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise - Hebrews 6:13-15. Look to Abraham your father, And to Sarah who bore you; For I called him alone, And blessed him and increased him - Isaiah 51:2.

                 Let us patiently wait like Abraham for God's promises to be fulfilled in our life as He will never leave us until He had done what He had promised. Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you - Genesis 28:15. With Your mouth You have promised and with Your hand You have fulfilled it - 1 Kings 8:24. I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them - Jeremiah 32:42.                                                      

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the Promise Keeper. We thank You for fulfilling all the promises in our life. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.        

With God All Things Are Possible

 With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible  - Mark 10:27. 

 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?” And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.” For with God nothing will be impossible - Luke 1:35,37.

God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did - Romans 4:17. 

Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me? -  Jeremiah 32:27. 

All things are possible for one who believes - Mark 9:23.

Nothing is too hard for Him. Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me? -  Jeremiah 32:27.

Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the Lord of hosts - Zechariah 4:6.

With God all things are possible - Matthew 19:26.

If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you - Matthew 17:20. 

He calls those things which do not exist as though they did - Romans 4:17.

                                                    

PRAYER: Dear Lord,  We thank You as with You all things are possible. In Jesus'  name we pray. Amen. 

                                                

An Open Door Which No One Is Able To Shut

Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut - Revelation 3:8.  

                    God will break all the obstacles that are before us and open all the closed doors. 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. I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, And crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them - Isaiah 42:16. He can even make a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters. Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters - Isaiah 43:16.   

                 The people of Israelites were not able to enter Jericho as it was shut up. Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in - Joshua 6:1. The Jericho fell down as the Israelites marched around it for six days, one time each day. and on the seventh day, they marched seven times and the seven priests should blow the trumpets. 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. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days - Hebrews 11:30.         

               Let us keep praising God and walk by faith and not by sight as God who goes before us will open all the closed doors in our life. 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. I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron - Isaiah 54:2. Knock and the door will be opened to you - Matthew 7:7. No one can shut the door that God had opened for us. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open - Isaiah 22:22.                                                             

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for going before us and opening all the closed doors. In Jesus' name we pay. Amen.
