Me and My Bible

   

October 28      Me And My Bible
         
God has written us a letter and is waiting for an answer. Have you received your own letter? This letter is the greatest letter, the greatest gift that you can ever receive. The letter is a big one which you cannot finish reading in a day, not even in a week. The letter has your name, your street and your house number. You are chosen so your letter has been signed and delivered to you by your Maker. 
Psalm 139:1-4 “Thou knowest my down sitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thoughts afar off. Thou compasseth my path and my lying down. Thou hast beset me behind and before.”
This is part of the letter we have in our hands, God is telling us that He is very much aware of our everyday physical actions (sitting and standing) plus our inner thoughts from afar. God knows us individually and knows our ways and every word we speak before it reaches our thoughts and our tongues.

The letters that are written to us tell us about
1) *BREAD*, John 6:50
“This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.” This verse teaches us that Jesus Christ is the spiritual bread sent to us by God to feed our souls spiritually. To eat and not die is the power of the spiritual food that we are fed with. Eat of the bread of life and you will hunger no more. 

2)*THE LIGHT* Psalm 119:105; “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” This verse is teaching us that God’s word are reliable for our daily living, guiding us as we make decisions that affect our lives and the lives of our children and families. We learn to trust God by living according to his precepts as we journey through life. Without God’s light we will easily stumble, fall into temptations that will lead us to make decisions that are regrettable. God’s light in our pathways shine eternally and we cannot miss it.
3)*MILK* 1 Peter 2:2
   “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation.” 
We as believers are like newborn babies who have the need and seek out for milk for our survival. As a newborn baby cannot develop physically and mentally without the milk, we believers cannot grow spiritually without consuming the spiritual milk. This is the true Word of God, coming directly from God himself in the letters we are holding in our hands and reading with full confidence and understanding. It is the true Word of God that is not adulterated or filled with false teachings. This is what we all need for our true transformation and our true identity as we become Christlike in our daily living. 

Let Us Pray: We thank you Lord that we have all received our personalized letters from you, properly addressed to us. We are grateful for the privilege of being accepted and acknowledged by you. Thank you everlasting Father.

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...
