ASKING FOR GOD’S BLESSINGS


 May 6. 

Mark 10:51-53 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. Rabbi, I want to see.”

The blind man was healed and he received his sight immediately. Today our Lord Jesus Christ is asking us the same question.

Every day we wake up we always have a list of things we need to do, expectations that may not be met and promises that may be fulfilled. Very recently I listened to a young man on social media and he said something that made a lot of sense to me. He said that every day he holds a board meeting with God as his chairman. Together they go through all the things he needs to do and he then listens to what God has to say about the issues he has raised. Amazing, a wonderful way to receive God’s blessings on your plans and your life goals. We must pay attention and not miss out on the blessings that are rightfully ours. I will bless the work of your hands is a divine promise from God himself -Deuteronomy 28:12.

God promises to bless your bread and your water with the assurance that you will not lack your daily bread. Exodus 23:25.

We are blessed to be a channel of blessing to others and when we know that our source will never dry up, we give with open hands not withholding anything.

I will bless those who bless you Gen 12:3. Living with a mindset of lack makes us hold on to what we have rather than to share, thereby missing out on God’s limitless power to bless exceedingly abundantly beyond our expectations. 

Let Us Pray: Lord, may your spirit guide me everywhere I go make me a channel from whom your blessings flow.

Bible verses: Job 5:12 ; 2 Corinthians 9:8.

YOU ARE A CHILD OF PROMISE

   MAY 1.       Acts: 1: 4-5   The days are going so quickly, I remember that Christmas was celebrated not too long ago and here we are celebrating Good Friday and Easter, the most important days in the Church calendar.   The celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ in this season is purposeful and it is from everlasting to everlasting. Some questions come to my mind, what if our Lord Jesus gave up on his disciples who had betrayed and denied him? What if our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and decided to take a holiday from the stressful life he had been through? What if he did not leave us the Holy Spirit, our Comforter? The questions are endless and we sure do not have any answers to all of them and many more. We are the reason why our Lord Jesus Christ did not stop to take a rest and did not deny us, forgiving the thief on the cross.   Today we begin to see the enormity of the work our Lord Jesus Christ did for us, from the cross to...

WHO IS GOD TO YOU

  MAY 2.     Deuteronomy 6:4 Our God is an Amazing, Awesome God, The Creator of Heaven and the Earth, There is no one like Him, none to compare with Him, yes He is a perfect God. He is greater than all that he created, unlimited in nature, infinite and he is the God in three persons.   As you are dressed up to go out of your home, you are attired in all that God created including you yourself. Your clothes are made from cotton, silk, your shoes are made from animal skin, your perfume comes from natural oils, your jewellery comes from metals that are found in layers of soil. As you stand, there is nothing on you that was originally made by you.   All of these products were created by God before He created man and gave man dominion over all that He created. - 1 Corinthians 8:6.   Psalm 14 vs 1 AMP says, “The (spiritually) ignorant says in his heart that There is no God!!”   What do we say to that? Question who is God to you? He is the crea...

HOPE IN THE WORLD

Image
  MAY 3.      Romans:5: 4-5   Hope is not wishful thinking; hope is like making a long wish-list and waiting in great anticipation for each of the things you wished for to come through. You will find yourself marking off all the ones that God has answered.   On who are you hinging your hope on? My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and righteousness; this is the line of a very popular hymn that we all know. Is it true for you, can you let go and know that He who you hope on will not disappoint you. The faith that our hope has in God is the hope that does not disappoint, it transforms our suffering into endurance and our expectations into joy. This is the hope that all faithful believers enjoy, they have peace with God and they feel very secured. This brings the Christ-like character and the absolute abundant grace in our daily living.   Let Us Pray: Heavenly Father we ask to be filled with joy and peace as we are hopeful of yo...
