In Agreement
Psalm 24:1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him. 2 For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas and built it on the ocean depths.”
The year is fast expiring and we cannot thank God enough for all that He is crowning us with even in the remaining days of this year.
The Gifts I
Matt.2: 11 “And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.”
The wise men brought the gifts of Frankincense, Gold and Myrrh to Jesus. It is so important that we understand how this applies to us.
The People II
Matt.2: 2 “saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”
#2. The Scholars. They are religious people and they know the Bible. In fact, when Herod called the scribe to inquire about where the Christ will be born, he did not even need to look at the Bible.
Pay It Forward
Matt.18: 33 “Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’”
Someone once said that when you are seated, your flaws are not very noticeable. But the minute you step up and begin to go higher,
The Assurance
Heb.10:23 (AMPC) “So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He Who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word.”
Jer.29:10 “This is what the Lord says: “You will be in Babylon for seventy years. But then I will come and do for you all the good things I have promised, and I will bring you home again.
Endure
2 Tim.4:5 [NIV] “But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.”
A lot of us devote so much energy daily to trying to avoid challenges. We should actually be thanking God for challenges and adversity because they help us develop endurance.
Stand!
Isa. 40:8 (NIV) “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.”
We spend a lot of energy trying to avoid challenges but we actually should be thanking God for them. Challenges and adversity help us to develop endurance and endurance is a powerful weapon to have in your character arsenal. Read the rest of this entry
Acknowledge Him
1 Thess.5:18 “Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus” [with emphasis].
The root word for “be thankful” or “give thanks” in this scripture, means gratitude, appreciation, praise, and recognition. God is saying, be grateful, show appreciation, give praise, show acknowledgment, and recognition in all things and not for all things. Read the rest of this entry
The God Kind
Luke 7:47“I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.”
Looking at this young ruler, his life was full on the outside but his life was empty on the inside. If you find out that your life is fuller on the outside and empty on the inside,
Redefined!
Luke 18:22 “…he said, “There is still one thing you haven’t done. Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 23 But when the man heard this he became very sad, for he was very rich.”
In other words, Jesus was saying do not just stop at giving up everything alone, go beyond, and give yourself to serving too. Follow me in my itinerant ministry. But when the man heard this he became very sad because he was very rich.
