Behold I Come

 

August 19       BEHOLD I COME 
            
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19

 Behold appears 1,500 times in the Bible. It is a command to us believers from God to wake up, ponder and pay serious attention to the authority beholding us. God is saying here that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, this is definitely something beyond anyone’s imagination. This calls for us all to gather and to behold this miracle, a miracle that will be talked about by many generations yet unborn. Each time The Lord says BEHOLD, there is always something supernatural  about to happen. It comes with God’s promise that He will do what He has spoken to us and it will surely come to pass. Gen 28:15 
What authority can behold us in our tracks? It is a divine command to us to stop and see God’s work unfolding in our presence. Jacob encountered God at Bethel and that was the beginning of a new Jacob as he was running away from his brother Esau. It is usually urgent, an alarm that will make us stop and pause and take a closer look.   
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me-Rev 3:20. Our Lord Jesus Christ is drawing our attention to a need that He wants to meet. He wants to have a very close relationship with us, sharing our meals with us. We are expected to be at alert to hear our Lord Jesus knocking, we must respond by opening the door without any hesitation. Do you recognize the voice of our Lord Jesus Christ as you behold Him knocking at your door? His knocking is gentle and persistent as He waits patiently for you to hear and respond. He is knocking at the door of your heart, do not be double minded. James 1:8 says “A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways “. A believer who is double minded cannot be trusted and cannot be relied upon or trusted with any kind of power or authority. Let us continue to listen and obey as The Lord is waiting and willing to have a personal relationship with us.

Let Us Pray: 
Our Lord we thank You that You have cleansed us and made us fit to dine with You. We thank You Lord for stretching out your hands and making the impossible possible in our presence. We are grateful as we behold You face to face.

Bible Verses: 
Genesis 28:15

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

Image
  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...
