Implications, II

John 3:30 “He must increase, but I must decrease. He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.” (KJV&NLT)

The first implication of light is Vision. The second implication is Evangelism. The third implication is Rapid Progress. In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, this year, if they are to sum up your life and the lives of your children in one word, it will be brilliant. Read the rest of this entry

Implications, I

Psalm 44:3 “They did not win the land with their swords. It wasn’t their strength that won them victory. It was Your strength—Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your presence that gave them success, for You loved them.” (Voice)

The first implication of light is Vision. The second implication of light is Evangelism, and this is huge. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 & 6But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them… For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (KJV).

Enlighten

Psalm 36:9 “For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.” (NIV)

God’s light has a source, and the source is God! Therefore, to engage The Source, the first thing we need to do is to Practice His presence. The second thing that we need to do is to Be Engaged In His Word. Psalm 119:105Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” Read the rest of this entry

Source

1 John 1:5 “This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.”

At the beginning of each year, we press in to discern what God wants, and He is gracious enough to give us instructions for the New Year. However, crossing from 2011 into 2012, I said to the Lord, ‘if You would give Your boy just one Word that encapsulates the year and what You want to do, what would it be?’ Read the rest of this entry

Surely!

Isaiah 14:24 “The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass, and as I have purposed, so it shall stand” (NKJV)

John 7:37–39On the last day, the climax of the festival [the climax of the season, the festival of ingathering], Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” (When he said “living water,” he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him. But the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet entered into his glory.)” This feast is known as the feast of ingathering. As the Priest was rounding up the feast, Jesus barged in and declared that He is the water of life. Ingathering is also the feast of tabernacles or the feast of boots. How is this important to us New Testament Christians? Firstly, you should know the scriptures. Ingathering applies to us in three ways. Read the rest of this entry

C. O. T. III

Psalm 145:16 “When you open your hand, you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing.”

For every sacrifice that you make for God, it is the hunger behind your sacrifice that God receives. When we bring offerings to God and we say, accept us and accept our offerings. It is the sacrifice that rises up to heaven, the notes stay here, have you noticed? Read the rest of this entry

C. O. T. II

Psalm 42:1-2 “As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God. I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him?”

One thing heaven can never ignore is a hungry soul. Remember the woman with the issue of blood? She was hungry for her healing. The other people wanted an appointment with Jesus or wanted Jesus to go to their house, that was their business. Afterall, they have enough clout to make it happen. Read the rest of this entry

C. O. T. I

Psalm 107:9 “For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.”

John 7:38Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” I want to challenge you, even if you do not think you are thirsty, to begin to thirst for all that God wants to do in your life. Read the rest of this entry

Come Thirsty

Revelations 22:17 “The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let anyone who hears this say, “Come.” Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life.”

God is not limited by time. He is not limited by space. He is not constrained to seasons. God is God by Himself. It has pleased God to sustain the season of ingathering over us and we are grateful. Our text is from John 7:37–39 Read the rest of this entry

Your Response

Psalm 150:6 “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.” (NIV)

We will kick-off today’s devotional with the final thought from yesterday. Which is, until you learn how to serve someone else’s dream, you do not qualify to be part of that great dream that you think is yours. When Joseph was going about his dream, he ended up in the pit.
