CEASELESS PRAISE

   

       August 26     CEASELESS PRAISE
       
  🎼Praise him for his grace and favour to his people in distress.
Praise him, still the same as ever, slow to chide and swift to bless.
Alleluia, Alleluia!!
Glorious in his faithfulness!

 As you continue to praise The Lord with this song of praise you acknowledge God’s grace and favor to us when we are distressed. The reality of God’s grace is revealed in the smile from a stranger, a helping hand at the time of your need. I remember many years ago, a friend of mine shared a story of how she was going to visit a friend who was not feeling too well and she took a bible as a gift to her. She had forgotten that her friend was a moslem who unknown to her was having a tough time in her marriage. The gift of the bible was a turning point for her friend and she returned back to her Christian faith. The Lord did not chide her for being a moslem for He knew the way to relieve her of her distress and to swiftly bless her with the word. Our Lord is faithful as the psalmist proclaims.
  
“You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.” Psalm 30:11-12.
Our clothing of sadness and sorrow are removed and we are wrapped up with the awesome presence of The Lord.

The earth and the elements will respond when we begin to praise our Lord God Almighty. A heart full of joyful praise acts like a sharp weapon in our hands, as we glorify our Father in heaven, our burdens are lifted up and our heart becomes free of complaining and worrying. We are now refocused with our eyes firmly planted on our Lord who is swift to bless. As long as we have breath we must praise our Lord so that fears and burdens are shifted away from our focus. 

Let Us Pray: Come let us praise The Lord, for He is our Jehovah Jireh, our Peace and our Righteousness. There is no end to praising you and we are privileged to be able to glorify You our Lord. Amen.

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...
