Place A Demand
2 Kings 2:13 Elisha picked up Elijah’s cloak, which had fallen when he was taken up. Then Elisha returned to the bank of the Jordan River. 14 He struck the water with Elijah’s cloak and cried out, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” Then the river divided, and Elisha went across.”
As we walk in the steps of our godly faithful predecessors, we will certainly experience the same grace that they experienced and do greater works to God’s glory. Read the rest of this entry
The Objective
Ex.9:1 “Go back to Pharaoh,” the Lord commanded Moses. “Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go, so they can worship me.” [with emphasis]
Pharaoh was buried but God’s people were planted. There is a huge different between being buried and being planted. The difference is what is on the inside. When God plants His children, what is inside grows out and becomes a forest. Read the rest of this entry
For Him
1 Kings 3:9 “Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?”
There are implications when God says, “ask of Me”, the implication is focus, change your focus [Jer.17:5-8 please read]. Ask of Me means look at me, keep your eyes on Me. Ask of me means you have to be humble because asking puts you in a place of humility. Read the rest of this entry
Access Key
Ps.100:4 “Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name.” [with emphasis].
Remember the resurrection story; after Jesus resurrected and Mary wanted to hug Him, Jesus refused because He had not yet taken the Blood of atonement to the altar in heaven. Read the rest of this entry
Right Attitude
Ps.95:2 (The Voice) “Come face-to-face with God, and give thanks; with loud and joyful voices, praise Him in songs.”
Heb.11:6 “And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him...” [with emphasis]. Read the rest of this entry
Without Ceasing
Col.4:2 “Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.”
We are still learning practical ideas that are helpful in having a vibrant prayer life. The first is, I realize that I am so busy, I cannot afford not to pray. Read the rest of this entry
Get Wisdom
Dan.2:47 The king said to Daniel, “Truly, your God is the greatest of gods, the Lord over kings, a revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this secret.”
You need to know this God that has all the power and controls the course of world events. You need to know this God that sets up kings and removes kings. Guess what? As powerful, as awesome, as engaged, and powerfully controlling the course of world events as God is, He is secure in Himself. Read the rest of this entry
Give It Up
Luke 9:23 “Then he said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me. 24 If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.”
We concluded yesterday’s devotional by saying that the glory that comes from you going to the cross is more important than the temporal victory you are seeking. For this reason, sometimes, Read the rest of this entry
How It Works
Dan.3: 25 “Look!” Nebuchadnezzar shouted. “I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god!”
Ambassadors of God’s Kingdom know that honour is given to whom honour is due and worship is given to Whom worship is due. God alone, the Maker of the heavens and the earth, is worthy of the worship of His people. If like Read the rest of this entry
Habitation
Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
God can delegate the answers to prayer, but He personally attends to praise. Paul and Silas alone praised God, right? But when the presence of God came down in response to their praise, everybody was set free. This is why I am a Read the rest of this entry
