VERSE
1 Corinthians 15:58 (KJV) Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

INSPIRATION
Since we know of the great victory we have in Christ, and the glorious future that is ahead of us, we are to remain encouraged and fixed in the things of God. When we serve God, we are to do so wholeheartedly because our work is not just for ourselves, it is to bring glory to God’s name.

PRAYER
Dear God, I choose to abide in you because I know that there is no one else I can turn to. No one else can compare to you, God. I thank you that my hope is not for nothing, because of all you have promised. May I always give my best in the work I do for you, Father. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

VERSE
Mark 9:23 (KJV) Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

INSPIRATION

This father whose son was demon-possessed brought him to Jesus. But while Jesus was away, his disciples were unable to cast out the demon. When Jesus returned, the man said to Jesus "if you can do anything," please have compassion on us. But Jesus answered that "if you can believe," all things are possible. Then the man cried out "I believe; help my unbelief!"

PRAYER

O Author and Finisher of my faith, I believe you but still struggle with unbelief. Help my unbelief, Lord, that I may not question your power to overcome every trial or temptation. You have worked mightily in many others before me, and I know you can do the same for me. Amen.

VERSE

Psalms 69:6 (KJV) Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.

INSPIRATION

As devotees to Christ, it is important to remember we walk on this earth as representatives for Him. For people who do not yet know His name, or are skeptical, be good in all you do, and in all you meet. Understand that your actions have the power to convert, or turn others away. Let them not attach negative connotations unto the Christian faith through seeing in you a bad example, but rather let them see your joy for God, your strength and character. Let them see that this is the only way to truly rejoice in life, and to find salvation.

PRAYER

Lord Almighty God, I pray that You may make of me an instrument of Your message of peace and glory. Help me become a better person, molded from the image of our savior Jesus Christ, so that I may walk this earth doing justice to Your name, and represent the goodness in all You do. Amen.

VERSE

2 Corinthians 3:6 (KJV) Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

INSPIRATION

The passage in Corinthians concerns ‘the letter’ of the law (as originally inscribed in Judaism), in contrast to God’s divine moral order. Even today, acts that are technically lawful may be abhorrent or have sinful consequences. What’s more, laws change with regimes or the march of history; what many found acceptable in one generation, may be considered unjust by another. Thus, whilst our law and the letters inscribed thereupon may serve its purpose in regulating society, as devotees of the word of God, they are not sufficient. Serving society as a lawful citizen may be noble, but it is in the last judgment inferior to devoting ones spirit to God’s everlasting truth in Testament.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, above and beyond the earthly letters of men, blessed are we to have received Your word and grace. Teach us to walk in Your holy path of rectitude, as our ultimate Father in everlasting life. Ensure that our devotion is first and foremost to You, O Lord, to whose ultimate justice we submit our spirit. Allow us to animate Your moral order, and show us mercy. All this, in your name. Amen.

(VERSE)
Romans 14:13 (KJV) Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

(INSPIRATION)
Part of this Christian life is refusing to judge others. Judging and condemning people who happen to be struggling with sin or iniquity will not profit you in any way. If anything, you are countering the grace that was given to you so freely. As you were given, you were instructed to give. Be gracious to all people in your life. If you have to correct, let it be done in love, not hate, judgment or condemnation. The goal should be to point people to Christ, not away from Him.

(PRAYER)
Dear God, I ask that You will help me to refrain from oppressing people through judgement or condemnation. Lord, I pray that my words and actions will never serve as a stumbling block in another person’s life. May my decisions be influenced by Your wisdom and Your love, Lord. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

((KNOWING GOD))

(JESUS CHRIST IS WARNING THE APOSTLES THAT THEY, TOO,WILL SUFFER FOR BELIEVING IN HIM)

(VERSE)
John 16:1-3 (KJV) These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

(INSPIRATION)
Jesus is warning the apostles that they, too, will suffer for believing in him. It wasn’t long before his warning became reality. The early Christians were put out of the synagogues and the Jewish leaders did try to kill them. We remember how Saul stood by while Stephen was stoned and then went and tried to find other Christians so that they, too, could be killed. It wasn’t until Jesus revealed himself to Saul that he realized the error of his ways and became the great apostle Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles. Acts records the arrests of Peter, John and others for preaching about Jesus. Paul was also brought before the Sanhedrin. All were beaten. The only reason that these were released was that the Jewish leaders feared the backlash from the people because of the miracles of healing that occurred in their presence. Through the centuries people have been persecuted for their beliefs. This still continues today in certain parts of the world. But persecution can be more subtle today. There is a Christian company that operates craft and home goods stores that do not open on Sundays. Now, the state where I live used to have some of the strictest “blue laws” in the country. That means that for quite a while, very few businesses were allowed to open on a Sunday. These laws were overturned about forty years ago. Because this Christian company refuses to open on Sunday, they are not able to open a store in this state. There are other Christian companies that find it hard to get permits as well. Over two thousand years later, the warning for believers is still valid.

(PRAYER)
Lord, you warned your apostles and you warn all who believe in you that there are consequences. Please continue to give us the courage to witness our faith proudly. Amen

((WAITING FOR GOD))

(WHERE DO WE FIND THE LIGHT)

(VERSE)
Micah 7:7-8 (KJV) Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.

(INSPIRATION)
The past few days we have talked about the problem of putting our trust in those who don’t deserve it, who cannot save us, and who, in fact, may lead us away from God. Here Micah is telling us that he will look to God for all his needs. Where do we look? As I sit here, safely in my home, I watch the news that brings me stories of hatred and division; it tells me of horrible crimes against the innocent, and a leadership that has lost the ability to lead. For me, the next few months will tell if we will seek new leadership or keep our faith in those who have failed us. There are places in this world – and maybe some of you live in these – where poor or dangerous leadership is not so easy to change. This lack of justice is the cause of many uprisings all over the world. For all of us, there are days when we are sitting in darkness. Where do we find the light? Micah is telling us that the light we need is the Lord. We cannot be saved by any human leader. We have been saved by Christ. Our enemies may try to put good people down, but they won’t win in the end. We can’t see the future, and we often don’t see the end results of God’s plan, but we need to trust that God will win. Our ancestors in faith, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, King David, didn’t see the fulfillment of God’s promise either. They all died before Jesus, the promised Messiah was born. We benefit from our knowledge of the salvific act of Jesus and his resurrection which promises us that we too will be raised from the dead. We need the faith and trust our ancestors had as we face the trials in our own lives.

(PRAYER)
Gracious God, you keep giving us examples of your love and care for us. In our darkest days, may we remember that Jesus Christ came into the world as it's light which will shine in our darkness whenever we call upon him. Amen

((PRAY FOR GOD'S FORGIVENESS))

(JESUS CHRIST TOLD US TO LOVE OUR ENEMIES, BUT ONE OF THE GREATEST SIGNS OF LOVE IS TO PRAY FOR THEM)

(VERSE)
Daniel 9:19 (KJV) O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.

(INSPIRATION)
Daniel is confessing to God both his sin and the sin of the people of Israel. He begs God to restore Jerusalem to turn away his wrath. The Jewish people are suffering a severe persecution and Daniel is asking for relief. In a series of visions, Daniel is told that there will be relief in time. Sometimes we feel that we are suffering God’s wrath. Usually, this is when we have not been faithful, and bad things seem to come our way. In some cases, this can be through fault of our own. If we have not been doing our work as well as we could, or were wasting money on drugs, alcohol, or gambling, or striking out in anger against the people at work or at home, then perhaps it is our fault. On the other hand, sometimes we are suffering at the sinful hands of others. For those who suffer from other people’s prejudices or systemic discrimination, then it isn’t their fault. When sin is present, bad things can happen. The solution is turning our hearts back to God and both praying for forgiveness and working to change. Whether the change needed is in ourselves or the community, we need to part of the solution. Jesus told us to love our enemies, but one of the greatest signs of love is to pray for them. If we really want to change both ourselves and our community, we need to pray. We need to pray for ourselves, that God will give us the graces we need to change our behavior. We need to pray for our community so that people will recognize the need to work for justice, not just for ourselves, but also for the most vulnerable among us – the poor, the disenfranchised, immigrants, those addicted to alcohol or drugs. Although I’ve said it before, it’s worth repeating – If we want peace, we need to work – and pray – for justice.

(PRAYER)
Almighty FATHER, you know that we are often our own worst enemies. We create situations that bring us and others pain when we sin. In your mercy, please strengthen within us the desire to do your will. Amen

22/02/2023

(VERSE)
John 4:14 (KJV) But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

(INSPIRATION)
Jesus was referring to anyone who chose to partake of Him. As Christians, since we have chosen to ‘drink from Christ’, we have been refreshed. Our spirits have been revived and regenerated. We have received eternal life. We have been accepted as children of God and we will never want for anything because of God’s great love. This gives us all the reason to jump and celebrate.

(PRAYER)
Dear God, our Heavenly Father, I just want to thank you for Your endless love for me. You have been there for me far before I knew of You or even thought of coming to You. I will forever thank you for that precious act of love, where You gave up your Son so that I could be a part of You again. Jesus, my Savior, thank you for what You did for me and for everyone else on this earth. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

11/02/2023

(VERSE)
Psalms 37:1-2 (KJV) Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

(INSPIRATION)
No matter how hard things may seem on this earth, though, we have a reason to rejoice because we know that we have a Heavenly Father who calls us righteous and watches over us every day. Our future is certain because we are in Christ, the one who saved us and made us righteous. It is in Him, we can have the confidence in knowing that we will never suffer a painful and perilous fate.

(PRAYER)
Dear God, it can become discouraging in this world when we are cast down and persecuted for our faith in you but, Father, we are thankful because we can have total trust in you; knowing that our lives and our future is secure with you. Please keep us strong in times where we are weakened by what we endure on earth. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
