THEN GOD SAID……..3

 

October 3   THEN GOD SAID……..3
           
Genesis 1: 11-12

As we hear what God has said and done at the beginning of creation, we begin to see that our daily living has been structured by God himself, providing all that we need for a good lifestyle to meet his purpose. 
     The sequence of events as we see at the beginning demonstrates the thought process of our God. He had taken into consideration all that we needed, we wouldn’t have known about our need for light or for water. Our Creator who knows our needs before we consider them provided all that we need at the beginning of time. He knows all that we need even now, we must live a life totally dependent on Him. 
1) “Let there be light”, we definitely need light so that the darkness that surrounds us must disappear. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Light of the world and we need his Light to shine through our lives, for the benefit of others. 
2) “Let the land produce vegetation, seed-bearing plants and trees that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds” And it was so. Gen1:11
     Amazing, this has opened our eyes to see what God said before He created human beings in His own image and before we started to till the ground for our sustenance. “Seed-bearing plants and trees that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds”!!!! This is a command that we should eat our fruits with seed in it, and to be able to reproduce the fruits and the vegetables for continuity. God made plans to feed the humans he was yet to create with organic fruits and vegetables, what do we have today, genetically modified crops, man made crops that cannot regenerate. God’s command is that we must be fruitful and multiply, this is only possible when we live in total obedience to him.
    All believers in the world know that the Bible is the only valid manual for living a perfect life in harmony with The Creator and the owner of the universe. God’s precepts are the specific guiding principles given by Him to direct our behavior and moral conduct. When we live in obedience to his precepts we display our trust and dependence on God. We are able to fill the earth and care for creation, we are “to go and make disciples”, sharing our faith with others and growing God’s kingdom. 

Let Us Pray: We are grateful to you Lord for the provision you made for us to be alive. All that you spoke into being was for our welfare and good living. We are thankful and grateful.

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...
