New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘Enemies of Christ ‘

For I have told you often before, and I say it again now with tears in My eyes, there are many who walk along the Christian road who are really enemies of the cross of Christ. Their future is eternal loss, for their god is their appetite: they are proud of what they should be ashamed of; and all they think about is the life here on earth. (Philippians 3:18-19TLB)

                                                                    Prayer 

Father, You have told me before, and You have said it again with tears in Your eyes, there are many who walk along the Christian road who are really Your enemies, the enemies of Christ. Their future is eternal loss, for their god is their appetite: they are proud of what they should be ashamed of; and all they think about is the life here on earth. 
Yes, You know that the world is filled with greedy, selfish people who are out to get what they can and at any cost. I am Your beloved, and I am not one of them. I shall rise up into the arms of the Comforter, and turn my head heavenward and praise His precious name. I shall not take my eyes off the workers of iniquity and I shall be amazed at what You are doing here on the earth today. 
I shall make every effort to see the goal to: see beyond the obvious, live beyond the ordinary, believe beyond the possible. I shall go the extra mile and experience Your miraculous power in all I do, and I shall be amazed at Jesus Christ, and what He has already done for me now forever more. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘Pain Of Rejection’

And some who are most gifted in the things of God will stumble in those days and fall, but this will only refine and cleanse them and make them pure until the final end of all their trials, at God’s appointed time. (Daniel 11:35 TLB)

                                                                    Prayer

O my precious God, we are gifted in the things of God, we will stumble and fall; but this will refine and cleanse us and make us pure until the final trials end. We are hunted down, but God never abandon’s us. When we get knocked down, then we get up again and keep on going. These bodies of ours are constantly facing death just as Jesus did; so it is clear to all that it is only the living Christ within us who keeps us safe.
Jesus, understands the pain of rejection. He came to the world to bless it; but was rejected, beaten and murdered. He came to show the world love and a better way to live only to be ostracised for the love He wanted to give. His own people didn’t want Him, they tossed Him out; and then they crucified Him. 
Jesus, You have shown us that when we suffer and are rejected, we are partakers in sharing Your sufferings; and if we suffer with You we will reign with You. We should not think it odd that we are rejected. As servants of God we are not greater than our Lord. We possess a treasure house of blessings with our names upon it. These blessings, lovingly selected by Christ; have our names upon them which will make up for our grief. Let us identify with Jesus Christ and be strong. We share a rare and beautiful intimacy with Him. He has taken all our disappointment, anguish, and grief on His body on the cross. Rejection and fear has lost its power over us forever and always in Jesus’ name. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘God Instructions ‘

Every day and all night long their counsel will lead you and save you from harm; when you wake up in the morning, let their instructions guide you into the new day. For their advice is a beam of light directed into the dark corners of your mind to warn you of danger and to give you a good life. (Proverbs 6:22-23 TLB)

                                                                       Prayer

O my precious Lord, every day and all night long You counsel me and will lead me and save me from all harm. When I awake in the morning, Your Holy Spirit, will instruct and guide me into the new day. His advice is a beam of light to me, which is directed into the dark corners of my mind; to warm me of danger and to give me a good life.
I need not worry, For You are guiding me and You will show me the way You want me to go through the Holy Spirit of God. He dwells and abides within me. He is right beside me gently advising me on the action He wants me to take at the right precise moment. 
I shall be empowered to act in divine wisdom and integrity. I shall keep my eyes upon God,  knowing that God’s power is limitless, and His mercy is without measure. I am a mighty warrior in God’s army, and He has anointed and blessed me for battle in the heavenly realms. All the honour, praise, and glory goes to God; through Jesus Christ and through the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – God Is At Work Within Me‘ ‘

For God is at work within you, helping you want to obey Him, and then helping you do what He wants.(Philippians 2:13 TLB)

.                                                                 Prayer

O my precious God, You are at work within me. I thank You, for helping me and empowering me to rely upon You to show me what You want me to do. You are working through me and You have things You want me to do for the heart and core of Your people. 
I choose to accept the assignment and will seek God’s will and to follow Him. There is a Godly time and place for all things within our power to acquiesce in the will of God – and what peace it brings to do so! 
I surrender completely to the Lord my God through Jesus Christ, this is not a tremendous sacrifice, it’s not an agonising performance. It is the most sensible thing I can do. 
Lord God, have made a perfect plan for my future may I conform to Your plans – for this is the best and safest way I can live. The only safe place I know is to be in the centre of God’s will. It is not only the safest place but the only place I desire to be. The Lord satisfy’s me in everything I undertake to do through Jesus Christ my precious Lord. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘Good Boundaries’

Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places. Psalm 16:5–6 NIV 

                                                                    Prayer

Father God, You have assigned me my portion and my cup; and You have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places. I do not want to go beyond the boundaries You have set before me.
You created me at this appointed time in history and in my unique circumstances for a reason. My experiences have not only shaped my personality and values, but have also affected me in how to serve God and to whom I am able to minister too. Although my life maybe difficult at present, it is not a mistake that I am where I am in God. 
Father, You have set my boundaries for my life not to harm me, but for my good. Not to cause me pain, but You will bless me abundantly if I will allow You to lead me. Therefore, I shall listen to You, and seek Your wisdom in my circumstances. Then I shall rejoice as You turn my limitations into wonderful opportunities. I praise the Lord who counsels me – even at night my conscience instructs me. I keep the Lord in my mind always. Because You are at my right hand, I will not be shaken. I praise Him for working all things out for my good, I thank Him for using my life’s boundaries for His glory, the benefit of others, and my edification. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House And Meet With Him In Prayer’ – ‘Spiritual Gift and Power ‘

Now you have every grace and blessing; every spiritual gift and power for doing His will are yours during this time of waiting for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Notice among yourselves, dear brothers, that few of you who follow Christ have big names or power or wealth. Instead, God has deliberately chosen to use ideas the world considers foolish and of little worth in order to shame those people considered by the world as wise and great.
(1 Corinthians 7, 26-27 TLB)

                                                                 Prayer

O my precious God, I thank Your every grace and blessing; every spiritual gift and power for doing Your will in this time of waiting for the Lord Jesus Christ’s return. God has deliberately chosen me and to use ideas the world considers foolish and of little worth in order to shame those people considered by the world as wise and great. 
You have given me gifts to help others and I shall lack nothing to go forward in my calling. I shall stop thinking of myself as weak and unproductive, for in Christ Jesus, He empowers me to do great and awesome things. He knows my capabilities and He knows my physical limitations. He knows my responsibilities and He knows my every need. You have given me Your gifts which is appropriate to me. When I feel I lack the strength and courage to fulfil my calling, this is when I ask God for His help. The Holy Spirit of God is at the centre of my heart and in the God-called ministry He want’s for me. I can rest assured I have all the power and courage I need for every task He gives me to do for the glory and praise of Jesus Christ. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House And Meet With Him In Prayer’ – ‘You Are The Lord Who Heals'

You will provide delicious food for me in the presence of my enemies. You have welcomed me as Your guest; blessings over-flow! (Psalm 23:5 TLB)

                                                              Prayer 

O my precious God, You will provide delicious food for me in the presence of my enemies. You have welcomed me as Your guest; Your blessings over-flow over my life. I will bless the holy name of God with all my heart. Yes, I will bless the Lord and not forget the glorious things He does for me. 
He has forgiven me all of my sins. He has healed me. He ransoms me from hell. He surrounded me with loving-kindness and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things! My youth is renewed like the eagle’s! He gives me justice to all who are treated unfairly. He revealed His will and nature to Moses, and now He has revealed His will and nature to me.  
He is merciful and tender toward those who don’t deserve it; He is slow to get angry and full of kindness and love. He never bears a grudge, nor remains angry forever. He has not punished me as I deserve for all my sins are ever before Him. His mercy is towards me and those who fear and honour Him. He has removed all of my sins as far away from me as the north is to the south and the east is from the west and He remembers my sin no-more. 
I shall always be grateful and thankful to the God of my ancestors, He who has shown His love towards me and others forever and always in the precious name of Jesus Christ my precious Lord. Amen.
