Advantage?
Isaiah 30:21 “Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left.”
Stepping up starts with admitting your dependence on God. For you to step up, you need to see that without God, you really cannot be all that God has called you to be. Sadly, a lot of people are embracing the idea that they can do what they want with their lives. Read the rest of this entry
Him Not I
James 4:10 (Voice) “Lay yourself bare, facedown to the ground, in humility before the Lord; and He will lift your head so you can stand tall.”
God skipped all the likely candidates and picked Joshua as the one to lead God’s people into His promise. This is not the first time we see this play out in Scripture and it was not the last time either. We must always remember that God does not see as man sees. Read the rest of this entry
Special Ability VI
Acts 2:42 “… They took part in the fellowship, and sharing in fellowship meals and in praying together…” [TEV, with emphasis]
If you want God’s blessings in your life, you must be committed to loving other Christians deeply. Acts 2:42 “they were like family to each other” [CEV, with emphasis]. Read the rest of this entry
Special Ability IV
Acts 2:37 “Peter’s words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” 41 Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all.”
To have God’s blessing that keeps intensifying we must continue to Be Devoted To God’s Word. We must hear it, read it, study it, memorize it, and meditate on it. Read the rest of this entry
Leave It There
Luke 22:41 “He walked away, about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine” [with emphasis]
Many of us have had dreams this year; goals of things we wanted to achieve by the end of the year. But that has not happened. We need to get to a place where we kneel in submission to God, hand it to God and say, “God, let Your will be done”. Read the rest of this entry
Pursue, Repent & Submit!
Ps.63:1 “O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water.”
Are you sincerely seeking God or you just want a god that you can control? God is not a talisman; He will not do your bidding. When God is not in control of you, what you have is an idol. Read the rest of this entry
Turn From Sin!
Luke 5:8 “When Simon Peter realized what had happened, he fell to his knees before Jesus and said, “Oh, Lord, please leave me—I’m too much of a sinner to be around you” [with emphasis]
As with a lot of things in God, kneeling down is deeply significant and symbolic. In God’s Presence, the first reason why we kneel is in pursuit and the second reason is we kneel in Repentance. The yoke and weight of sin can be really heavy. But when we kneel in repentance, it’s sorted out.
His Pleasure
Psa. 99:5 “Exalt the Lord our God! Bow low before his feet, for he is holy!”
Your focus in the place of worship is very important because it informs what you will do. Your focus will also inform what you allow and what you will disallow. For instance, if your focus is on people and what they will say, if they will laugh at you or call you a fanatic, you will struggle with kneeling down in God’s Presence. Read the rest of this entry
Are You Struggling?
Mark 10: 17 As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” [with emphasis]
I have shared with you that one of my personal mantras is “unto thy self be true”. And for this reason, I consistently confront myself with things and it has helped me improve on so many levels especially in my walk with God.
His Beauty
Ps.138:2 “I bow before your holy Temple as I worship I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name”
Jesus died for you so that you can live for Him. God expects your best because He gave you His best. The Hebrew word for bow is translated kneel, worship; bow down means to prostrate before God. Read the rest of this entry
