Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Mathew 5:43-44

I imagine that you may have heard the famous quote, "Keep your friends close and enemies closer." This quote has more nefarious intentions, but Jesus wants us to keep our enemies close for positive reasons: simply put, we can help them. It is our duty to love our enemies as ourselves in order to set an example, because an example was sent to earth for us in Jesus Christ. Honor His death by living as He did, sacrificing Himself to His enemies so that they too, could be forgiven.

(Galatians 5:13)
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

Freedom is a great gift as long as you know how to use it well. Being free from the law is such a blessing, but we should share that blessing with each other by being helpful, kind, and caring.

LET US PRAY
O heavenly Father, You sent Your only son into the den of His enemies, sacrificing Him so that we could understand Your true love for us. This is the love I wish to spread to all people, my Lord, and I am sorry for being weak and selfish so often when I should help even my enemies, for they may need it the most. I thank you every moment of my life for sending Jesus as an example for me, and I shall do all that I can to follow His ways. I pray in honor of Jesus' holy name. Amen.

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
1 Corinthians 10:13

God is always looking out for us. He will never tempt us with something that is too difficult for us to bear. Sometimes life can seem too difficult and the temptations too great, but this can also be viewed as God believing in us, that we are able to bear these trials. His faith and love never cease, and more importantly, neither does his love and belief in us. What about our love and belief in him? That is the more important question.

(Hebrew 6:19)
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

So much comfort in one short verse! God isn't unfair—and that's putting it mildly. If He made the sacrifice that paid for our sins, what will He deny us if we seek Him? He will never forget the good things we have done and the work we have done for Him. When we help our Christian brothers and sisters, we bless Jesus. We belong to Him! That's a good reason to keep getting better in Christ.

LET US PRAY
Help lead me not into temptation God, and help me understand that there is no temptation too great if I believe in You. I am so humbled in Your belief in me, merciful God, especially knowing the pain and temptation that Your son, Jesus Christ, chose to endure for us. His sacrifice will not be in vain, and I will bear my temptations and help others to bear theirs. In honor of Your purpose for me I pray, my Lord. Amen.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Ephesians 5:1-2

Who in your life have you imitated in some way? Parents? Siblings? Teacher? Maybe even a fictional character? How many of us can say we have really tried to imitate Jesus? It seems so obvious but is so difficult in reality. Jesus gave His life so that we had the choice of how to live our lives: imitate Him or pursue selfish desires. This verse simply explains whom we should look at as an example. The rest is up to us.

(Zephaniah 3:17)
The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

So, God also enjoys singing! He even likes to sing lullabies to the people He cares about. God is not only "Abba Father," but He's also like a mother. He loves His children so much that He rocks them gently and calms them down.

LET US PRAY
God, forgive me for selfishly being unwilling to sacrifice myself to You. I ask that You strengthen my resolve in the future, reminding me to follow in the clear example that You graciously sent to us, to die for our sins, the Son of man. With this newfound resolve, I shall imitate Jesus Christ, and live as an example to all others, spreading Your love to all that encounter me. I pray this in Your holy name. Amen.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
LUKE 2:14

God is good and that will never change. It who He is. Time and time again we are reminded in the Bible, God's Word, that His mercy is everlasting It is because of God's mercy, we have the confidence in Him that we have. God's word will always reign supreme for an eternity to come. People will always try to say things to doubt the existence of God, or to doubt how genuine God's love is, but none of these words will ever be true. God's goodness, love, mercy and His truth will never die. They will go from everlasting to everlasting.

(Psalm 139:13-14)
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

I am made by God! God created you. God made us just like He made everyone else. He knew we were there before anyone else did. Before anyone knew we were coming, He had plans for us. And He heals us! How do we know? Look at everything God has done.

LET US PRAY
Dear God, in this world there are so many people, organizations and corporations the enemy is trying to use to speak against You and who You really are. But I know the truth and I know that no other word, apart from Yours, will last for ages to come. Father, may I also be a vessel used to speak of Your goodness and Your everlasting love and mercy. May I be able to minister to men and women and tell them of this great salvation, an expression of Your deep love for Man. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
Matthew 19:26

The Almighty God is beyond measure when it comes to His abilities. He is not only unlimited in resources, He is beyond human comprehension. Until you realise the truth of His greatness, you will not be able to believe the things He says in His Word. In Jeremiah 27:32, the Almighty asks an all-important question concerning His divine ability: 'I am the God of all flesh. Is there anything too difficult for me to do?'

There is absolutely nothing that God cannot do. This is the reason why you must do whatever His Words says to do. Never allow your human reasoning to judge His ability to do what He says He will do. Your 'hard disk' (brain) will crash if you try to download all that God is.

Many believers fail in doing the things that the Lord asks them to do because they cannot fathom how those things will be possible. You need to know that whatever God demands that you do is usually beyond your capacity as a human being.

The Lord always figures out the way His work will be done before committing it into the hands of His children. Ephesians 3:20 says that He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. The almighty is unlimited in every way. God's power surpasses every obstacle. No matter your case, trust Him, and you will see His Word coming to pass in your life as you obey Him.

LET US PRAY
1. Give quality worship to the Lord for His limitless power over all things.
2. Repent if you have belittled or doubted His abilities in any way.
3. Ask for an unwavering belief in His unfailing Word and pray that souls will come into His kingdom today.
4. Pray for the revival of total trust in the Lord by all believers in Christ. Talk to Him about your needs.
5. Pray that missionaries, widows, widowers, orphans, single parents will trust the Lord for all their needs. Pray for peace in your country. Give thanks.

So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
Matthew 6:34 GNT

When God almighty fed Isreal with manna in the wilderness, He fed them one day at a time. The manna was given daily, not weekly or monthly. The reason was that God wanted them to rely totally upon Him. This is still what He wants. Jesus tells us to pray, 'Give us this day our daily bread'. Daily supplies from Heaven keep us focused on God. Do not let anything you have affect your dependence on God. We need God more than the things He gives.

The rich fool in Luke 12: 13-21 focused on the things he had and forgot about God. He thought he had gotten everything he needed, but he did not live to enjoy his riches. No wonder Solomon prayed, 'If I have too much to eat, I might forget about you...(Proverbs 30:9). Is it not possible that many will stop going to church if God supplies all their needs at once? Don't worry about tomorrow. God will take care of things. No challenge in your life can withstand your daily walk with Jesus. Put your future in the hands of the One Who is ever faithful.

The key to your victory in life is God's grace. Be thankful for the things He gives you daily. No matter what the economy says, God will never fail to provide for His children. He is the best Father. If men who are evil know how to care for their children, how much more will our heavenly Father take care of us. God will take care of you, no matter what your needs are. Trust Him and live one day at a time. According to David Fincher, a 150-day movie is shot one day at a time. Please God daily and your mountains will become molehills.

Our Father does not want us to be anxious for anything. As long as we obey His written Word, we will live victoriously. His faithfulness is greater than we can ever know, and His compassion is everlasting. Put your hope in Him. His loving kindness begins afresh every morning.

LET US PRAY
1. Worship the Lord for the gift of life and for His compassion and mercy.
2. Ask Him to have mercy on you if you have been anxious for any reason.
3. Pray for the grace to depend totally on God for the supply of your needs. Ask Him to help widows, widowers, orphans and the fatherless to overcome all their challenges.
4. Pray that souls will be won by believers, including you, today. Pray for the reign of Jesus in your country and for His peace in Jerusalem.
5. Reject the agenda of satan for your life. Pray that the Lord will meet you at the point of your need today. Thank Him for His everlasting compassion and faithfulness.

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:7 ESV

To succeed as a Christian in this present world, you must stand firm and strong against sin and satan. This is the time for active faith. There is no victory without a fight. Winners are those who have defeated something or someone. Because we have a stubborn enemy, we must be steadfast at resisting him.

Samson killed one thousand Philistines with the jawbone of an ass (Judges 15:15-16). He fought with the whole of his strength. This is the key to deliverance. Be bold and strong against the enemy. It does not matter what the enemy is. Face it and fight it and God will give you victory. Lay hold of the the right verse and fight whatever is hindering your advancement be it ma********on, po*******hy, fear, sickness, barrenness, or any stubborn issue. Get on the offensive. Don't give up.

Enough has to be enough in your life. Refuse to be stagnant. Don't settle for 'rise and fall' Christianity. You've got to be steadfast. No one can keep doing the same thing and have a different result. To make progress as a believer, you must arise and resist the enemy until he bows.

You are more than a conqueror. You cannot lose any battle. You can get out of debt. You can get that dear fellow saved. You can live in perfect health. You can achieve your goals. Stop waiting for more faith. Use the measure you already have. Stop procrastinating. Satan, our enemy, does not. If Samson did not wait for a perfect weapon, why should you keep watching the devil beat you with many stripes when you are decked up with the whole armour of God? Spiritual advancement is about progress not perfection. God knows your weaknesses. Move and keep moving! The enemy will not willingly stop fighting against you until you put him where he belongs.

LET US PRAY
1. Thank God for His steadfast love and for the gift of life.
2. Pray for the grace never to give the enemy room in your life and family.
3. Ask the Holy Ghost to strengthen all the readers of Daily Nourishment devotional so that everyone of us will go on the offensive against the adversary.
4. Pray that the Word of God will prevail in your country and in the lives of those in government.
5. Pray about your needs. Ask the Lord to bless widows, widowers, orphans and fatherless children and lonely elders with faithful friends and helpers. Worship the Lord for making you more than a conqueror.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Matthew 7:7 NIV

Did you know that you can ask the Lord questions and receive answers from Him? Many believers read our verse for today and limit it to praying for physical things alone. You can also ask for information and direction. You can ask the Lord to show you what He wants you to do for Him and for humanity. Because our Lord is omniscient, there is nothing you need to know that He cannot tell you. Jesus says that the Holy Ghost will teach us all things (John 14:26).

Many students who have a relationship with Jesus ask for His guidance when they study for examinations. The Holy Spirit understands all subjects better than all men. No teacher or lecturer knows more than the Lord in any field. Ask Him questions. The Holy Ghost knows what you should stop or start doing. He is wisdom personified. Talk to Him about your issues and ask Him questions. He knows how bad habits and addictions can be broken.

Do you know anyone who has a health issue? Ask the Lord to teach you how to help the person. He knows the best diet for a sick person and the right doctor. Also, the Lord knows how you should relate with the people in your life for a healthy relationship. Jesus knows what you should say to a sinner that will make him or her repent. He also knows what will bring you financial peace and marital settlement. There is nothing that is a challenge to the living Christ.

Ask Jesus questions. He is ready, always ready to talk with whoever wants to hear Him talk. We suffer in vain when we try to get everything done on our own. There are things that only God can do, and there are also things only He knows. Start today to ask God questions. When you do, wait on Him for the answers. He will never disappoint you. You will receive whatever you ask for.

LET US PRAY
1. Praise God for the gift of another day and for how far He has brought you.
2. Ask Him to give you insatiable hunger for His Word. Pray for the revival of righteousness in your country.
3. Ask the Lord to tell you the things you need to know. Ask Him specific questions.
4. Pray for His manifest presence in the lives of widows, widowers, orphans, the fatherless and motherless, and the elderly ones who trust in Him.
5. Pray for divine health, protection and provision for missionaries. Talk to the Lord about your needs and ask Him to fill Jerusalem with His peace. Give Him praise.

Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
1 Kings 17:9

God is good. God is kind. He is so concerned about His own children that whenever He orders them to do something, He also goes ahead to make the provision that will facilitate the right result. That was why when Jesus sent out His disciples to preach the Gospel with power, He ensured that they lacked nothing. They did not carry their purses, yet they were well taken care of. This is awesome.

Has the Lord given you an assignment to carry out? Does it seem impossible or too intimidating? Never worry about the ex*****on. Tell him about the challenges that may hinder you from getting the job done and leave the rest to Him. Only ensure that you move on to do what He tells you. He knows what to do.

Many Christians who fail in their God-given assignments do so not because God is weak or unfaithful but because they think the needed resources must come from them.

A minister of the Gospel did not know how he would meet an urgent deadline regarding the purchase of something that his church wanted to buy. The sum that was needed was huge. In the process, the Lord healed a terminally ill person in answer to the prayer of that servant of His. What happened was that the one who was healed decided to pay the sum that was needed for the project. That was it.

Most times, the person or method through which the Lord blesses men does not 'look like it.' Who could have thought that a widow would feed Elijah for a whole season? Never allow your faith to fail in life. Depend totally on God for direction and supplies, especially when it comes to the work of His Kingdom. He is always up to the task. Trust Him, totally. He never fails. In fact, He always knows the way out.

LET US PRAY
1. Thank the Lord for His plans towards you.
2. Repent if you have failed in doing what the Lord told you to do because you didn't trust Him for the needed supplies.
3. Ask the Lord for the grace to step out in faith for Him.
4. Pray for the revival of trust among the children of God.
5. Pray for missionaries, widows, widowers, orphans and ministers to fully depend on God for their needs. Tell the Lord about your day and thank Him for answers.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
PSALM 23:2-3

God will always have your best interests at heart; He knows you more than you know yourself – and that is something! When you are faced with times of need, take heart, because God will always be faithful to ensure that all is well with you. Trust in Him always, for He is always with you.

(Romans 14:11)
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. "Maranatha! Jesus, please come!" Yes, all knees will bend. But they already do for us. We look forward to the day when everyone will bow down to our King. Until then, let's do everything we can to make sure that as many people as possible bow down to Jesus on that day with joy and not with fear.

LET US PRAY
Father, I'm grateful that You saved me. May my eagerness for the day of Jesus' triumph inspire me to serve as Your peacemaker so that others will be prepared for and joyfully anticipate that day. Give me the ability to see those who need to encounter Jesus right now. I thank you for faithfulness and for all the provision You have given me in my life. Lord, I am grateful that in times of need, I need not worry, because I know that all will be well for me. I avail myself to Your guidance, Lord, because I know You know what's best for me more than I'd ever know for myself. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
