Total submission to the Master

Mark 16:20 NLT And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs. When I look at this verse I notice that Satan wants…

Mark 16:20 (NLT)

Some "unbelievers" are better Christians. Matthew 7:21 NLT “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter.

I have to confess I've been a bad ambassador of Christ to my family who are not converted christians. I fact many of them have been better at representing what Jesus' life & death was/is about. Many of…

Matthew 7:21 (NLT)

Isaiah 2:15-17 NLT He will break down every high tower and every fortified wall. He will destroy all the great trading ships and every magnificent vessel. Human pride will be humbled, and human arrogance will be brought down. Only the LORD will be exalted on that day of judgment.

We are living in perilous times, the message on Sunday included a warning to the child of God about the mark of the beast. We are all being made comfortable with the latest technology. Isn't it strange…

Proverbs 15:28 NLT The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking; the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words.

It's amazing how relevant God's Word is to all of life's situations, yet it seems the world refuses to apply these principles. What is even more amazing is the amount of principles that are "developed"…

Proverbs 15:28 (NLT)

Psalm 119:165 NLT Those who love your instructions have great peace and do not stumble.

It's amazing how we want all the blessngs God has to offer but not God's commands that precedes the blessing. As a child of God we have to endeavour to receive and apply God's precepts not for the blessings…

Psalm 119:165 (NLT)

Psalm 119:27-28 NLT Help me understand the meaning of your commandments, and I will meditate on your wonderful deeds. I weep with sorrow; encourage me by your word.

When David states that he's hidden God's Word in His heart I envision him holding the Bible to his chest as a man would hold his wife when laying down together and what's amazing is that just like his…

Psalm 117:1-2 NLT Praise the LORD, all you nations. Praise him, all you people of the earth. For he loves us with unfailing love; the LORD’s faithfulness endures forever. Praise the LORD!

Truly He is worthy of all our praise whether we think He is or not whether we want to or not it does not affect the fact that He is worthy. He remains Sovereign, He rules and reigns from everlasting to…

1 Peter 5:8-9 NLT Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are.

Is'nt it amazing to know that we are not alone in our battle? It is also comforting to know that God has not changed, He is still watching out for us, putting things in place, working for our good, making…

Romans 6:12-13 NLT Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires. Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.

We need to receive & believe the promises of God's word for if we do not receive, it is not ours & if we do not believe, it will not reflect in our way of life. I understand, my friend that sometimes…

James 4:6-9 NLT But he gives us even more grace to stand against such evil desires. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but favors the humble.” So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. Let there be tears for what you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy.

Serving God îs the most intense and important part of our lives yet we put so many other things before Him. Our relationship to God has become a means for us to get what we want not what God has planned…

Psalm 84:11 NLT For the LORD God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.

How faithful can one person be? In it's history mankind has proven that even when commiting to a greater cause we still fail that noble cause because of our sinful nature, but this God & Father of our…

Psalm 84:11 (NLT)

Ps 39:5-7 You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.” Interlude We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it. And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.

Let me never forget Oh Lord, how great thou art

Psalm 39:5 (NLT), Psalm 39:6 (NLT), Psalm 39:7 (NLT)

Psalm 32:5 NLT Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the LORD.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.

Blessed by You, by the knowledge & presence of Your grace, how good it is to know You are near

Psalm 12:6 NLT The LORD’s promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over.

Psalm 9:14 NLT Save me so I can praise you publicly at Jerusalem’s gates, so I can rejoice that you have rescued me.

Am I praising You for who You are Lord or for what I can get out of you?

Psalm 9:13 (NLT), Psalm 9:14 (NLT)

1 Corinthians 13:1-8 NLT If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever!

Love Him who is able to so exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask think or imagine. This God deserves so much more than what I am able to offer, still He requests that I do offer & He will make it…

Psalm 7:17 NLT I will thank the LORD because he is just; I will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

In the good times, the bad times & even in the sad times Lord

Thinking about the goodness of God

Today is one of those days where I am just amazed & totally overwhelmed by God's awesome power and mercy. Just the fact that both are part of His character in itself is mind blowing. Oh Lord our lord…

Psalm 2:11-12 NLT Serve the LORD with reverent fear, and rejoice with trembling. Submit to God’s royal son, or he will become angry, and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities— for his anger flares up in an instant. But what joy for all who take refuge in him!

Never allow the enemy to make the Son of God just another man

Psalm 2:11 (NLT), Psalm 2:12 (NLT)

2 Chronicles 20:15 NLT He said, “Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the LORD says: Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

Need I say more...

2 Chronicles 20:15 (NLT)

Have you ever felt far from God, separated by feeling of failure and personal problems? In his prayer, Solomon underscored the fact that God stands ready to hear his people, to forgive their sins, and to restore their relationship with him. God is waiting and listening for our confessions of guilt and our recommittment to obey him. He hears us when we pour out our needs and problems to him, and he is ready to forgive and restore us to fellowship with him. Don't wait to experience his loving forgiveness.

Truly God and no one else deserves all of our praise and adoration

2 Chronicles 6:18 NLT “But will God really live on earth among people? Why, even the highest heavens cannot contain you. How much less this Temple I have built!

2 Chronicles 6:18 (NLT)

2 Samuel 22:47 (NLT)
