GOD IS YOUR ANCHOR


MAY 9.  

So that we may no longer be infants tossed back and forth….Ephesians 4: 14-15. 

The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He knoweth them that trust in Him. - Nahum 1:7-8, 13,15. 

When we think about the word anchor, we first think about a ship and the heavy metal dropped to hold it in place. A ship’s anchor stabilizes it during a storm, God’s anchor keeps us steady, confident and secure knowing how powerful our God is. We are stabilized and able to redirect our focus to our All-Powerful God. 

Can we totally trust our God to be our anchor? Do we understand what it means for God to be our stronghold? God’s power causes our enemies to cringe and tremble before Him, and we are secure in Him as our anchor. Remember the times God has manifested his power and all impossibilities became supernaturally possible. This spiritual anchor represents our Lord Jesus Christ providing strength within when we face trials, He prevails and prevents us from drifting. We must continue to believe and trust in Him as He who will do what He says He will do. 

When we encounter new challenges, we quite easily forget what God has done and who He is. When we understand and remember that we have an anchor that keeps the soul, steadfast and sure while the billows roar, we are fastened to the Rock that cannot move, grounded safe and secure in the Saviour’s love. We must not remain focused on our problems and lose sight of our eternal anchor- Jesus Christ. 

Let us pray: Awesome God we are forever grateful for your stronghold in our lives holding us together. 

Bible verses: Heb: 6:19, Acts 27: 29,30 & 40, Psalm 66:3.

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...
