New Blog Post: ‘A Servant of the Highest God’

For instance, there was God’s promise to Abraham: God took an oath in His own name, since there was no one greater to swear by, that He would bless Abraham again and again, and give him a son and make him the father of a great nation of people. Then Abraham waited patiently until finally God gave him a son, Isaac, just as He promised. (Hebrews 6:13-15 TLB)

Give your burdens to the Lord. He will carry them. He will not permit the godly to slip or fall. (Psalm 55:22 TLB)

Prayer

Lord God, I am Your servant and I will serve You and You alone. You have made a promise with me and I will not lose this confident trust in the Lord, no matter what. You have promised me that You will bless me again and again as You did with Abraham, and so I wait patiently for those promises to be poured out upon me and my family.

I cast all my burdens upon You, because You care for me and will carry them for me and will not permit the godly to slip or fall. I know You will take away that immense feeling of responsibility I’ve had, replacing it with an awareness and understanding of Yourself and Your presence. I have an intimate fellowship with Jesus Christ, so I shall not be defeated. I place all my burdens upon God because He cares for me. The Government is upon His shoulders. He is called Wonderful Counsellor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. I commit and commend my life to the ways and will of Christ forever and always in His precious and holy name. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Becoming a Christian’

When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun! (2 Corinthians 5:17 TLB)

This is what God has prepared for us, and as a guarantee He has given us His Holy Spirit. (2 Corinthians 5:5 TLB)

Prayer

O my beloved God, You have made me into a brand new person on the inside. A new life has begun within me through Jesus Christ my precious Lord. The old things have passed away so that new things can come forth. This is what You prepared for me, and as a guarantee You have given me Your Holy Spirit, as a deposit guaranteeing what shall come.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ Jesus, we are a new creation; the old nature has gone, and the new nature has come.

Now, You Lord, are Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is; I have the freedom. And I who with an unveiled face, reflect the Lord’s glory, I am being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

I will always thank God, because of His amazing grace and mercy He has given to me through Jesus Christ my Lord. In Him I have been enriched in every way – in all my speaking and in all my knowledge – because of my testimony about Jesus Christ, was confirmed in me. Therefore, I do not lack any spiritual gift as I eagerly wait for my Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.

He will keep me strong to the end, so that I will be blameless on the day of my Lord Jesus Christ. God, who called me into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ my Lord, is faithful. Thank You so much for being my God. Amen.

New Blog Post: A House Of Prayer – Daily Devotional - ‘Be Honest and Trust Him

Reading: Hebrew 11:1

“Fill me with greater faith.”

Prayer

Almighty God, You, are faithful and precious to me. I cannot thank You enough. Please increase my faith in You. I know You constantly test my faith, and should I pass please, place me in circumstances that will require me to gain more faith. I want to experience a higher level with You. Please reveal more of Yourself to me. The only way I know if I am ready to go to the next level is to look at the way I have handled Your previous tests of faith that You gave to me. I know You will not promote me beyond my current level of competence or commitment until I demonstrate to You my understanding of Your current level. I do not want to lead my life continually going around all the same circles. Let me keep close to God and trust Him with all my heart in Jesus. Amen.

Lessons To Be Learnt

Being faithful to God means everything to those who believe in Him. Our hearts should be loyal, trustworthy, and true to Him. We may at times have let Him down, but our ultimate goals are to keep in step with God in all things. We must want to trust in small matters, and it does not matter how small those matters are as long as we can see we are being loyal, faithful, and true to Him. We must put God in the centre of our lives and want to walk in integrity and do what is righteous by Him.

New Blog Post: ‘You Have Become A Part of Him’

For you have become a part of Him, and so you died with Him, so to speak, when He died; and now you share His new life and shall rise as He did. (Romans 6:5 TLB) 

Prayer

Father God, I praise and thank You that I have died to my “old self” through Jesus Christ my precious Lord. I have now become a part of Christ and share in this new life with Him. My old sinful nature has been crucified with Christ Jesus, and I no longer live, but Christ God, lives in me. This life that I now live in this body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and who died for me. His Blood was shed for me and He has washed and purified me from all of my sin and He remembers my sin no more.

I look upon my old sin nature as dead and unresponsive to sin, and instead I am alive to God, alert to Him, through Jesus Christ. I ask You, Holy Spirit, to invade every part of my body and take charge of everything for me. I will walk in the Light and obey all that You reveal to me in the precious name of Jesus Christ.

Holy Spirit, help me live one kind of life in holiness – the holiness of Jesus Christ; which has been given to me by God, who has put the holiness of His Son Jesus Christ, into me, and now I belong to a new spiritual order. Holy Spirit, I acknowledge I need You to help me to be changed in every aspect of my life. Help me Holy Spirit, to become more Christ - like forever and always in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. 

New Blog Post: ‘Tell Me the Changes’

I will say to God, ‘Don’t just condemn me – tell me why You are doing it. (Job 10:2 TLB)

Prayer

Lord Jesus, do not condemn me, but tell me the changes You have against me. Help me to have my faith, and increase my faith by the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God, so I can stand in faith alone with Christ. Let me use and exercise my faith in the glory of God, I depend upon You no matter what the trials I have to go through nor whatever my circumstances will be, Lord Jesus I put my trust in Thee.

You are training me to be a soldier of Christ, and I will not live in luxury, but I will ford through streams, and swim through rivers and climb mountains, and walk many a weary mile for the honour, praise, and glory of Jesus Christ,

Thank You Jesus, for offering to carry my knapsack full of troubles for me, I give it to you and am thankful to You for carrying all my loads for me. I want You to know I am truly grateful and thankful to You for everything You do for me on a daily basis forever and always in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen.

New Blog Post: A House Of Prayer – Daily Devotional - 'Grateful and Joyful'

Reading:1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

“Be thankful to the Lord.”

Prayer

Father, I will always be joyful and grateful to You, because You know what is right and best for me. No matter what may happen in my life I will be joyful because I belong to Christ Jesus. This is the most important relationship for me. Let my prayers be governed and controlled by the Holy Spirit. Let us pray together in peace and harmony and by being in agreement with one another. Let the glory of God shine through me. I admit to You that I do need Your help and that I am not too proud to ask You for it. I will obey God and abide by His commandments. I will keep praying and I will always be thankful to Him for that He does for me. Even when I do not understand what is happening, I will continue to trust in God at all costs. Amen.

Lessons To Be Learnt

Making a commitment to follow Jesus Christ, we become so thankful, happy, grateful, and joyous. Our heart begins to bubble over with love and joy for our Lord Jesus Christ, and sometimes our hearts feel as they are bursting at the seams and needing to share His love with others. We should be grateful and thankful to Him for rescuing us and saving us from the pits of hell and this evil world. Day by day seek His face and walk and pray with the Spirit of God on all occasions, making constant decision to do what God asks. We begin to see people through a different perspective: seeing them through the heart and mind of Jesus Christ our precious Lord.

New Blog Post: ‘God’s Favour’

Moses talked there with the Lord and said to him, “You have been telling me, ‘Take these people to the Promised Land,’ but you haven’t told me whom you will send with me. You say you are my friend, and that I have found favor before you; please, if this is really so, guide me clearly along the way you want me to travel so that I will understand you and walk acceptably before you. For don’t forget that this nation is your people.”

And the Lord replied, “I myself will go with you and give you success.” (Exodus 33:12-14 TLB).

Prayer

Lord Jesus, You have spoken to me to lead Your people; but You have not made known to me whom You will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and I have found favour with You.’ If You are pleased with me, teach me Your ways so I may know You and continue to find favour with You. Remember, that this nation is Your people. The Lord replied to me, “My Presence will go with you, and you will give me rest.”

Lord God, You have placed something inside of me that You want to birth to the earth. The Bible says everything God makes is ‘very good’, and it is time I started seeing myself that way too! God, You know me, You want to change my self-image so others can appreciate my unique gifts and qualities. I am now ready to let You do this. You have determined what my life will be. You chose me for a specific purpose. You have a great role You want me to play this is part of Your plan for my life. I desire to walk in complete submission, yielding and be obedient to God through the Holy Spirit, I ask Him to guide and lead me into His perfect will for the honour and glory of His name. Amen.
