‘Come and Join Me in God’s Word’ – Waiting on God

Psalm 62:5-7 NLT Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken. My victory and honour come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.

My faith and confidence is in God alone. Through the years walking with Him, I can honestly say, “No matter what trials I have had to go through, God has sustained me with His righteous right hand.” Sometimes, when He asks me to wait quietly before Him, at times it is a hard thing for me to do. My heart tells me I want to do things the way God wants me to do things, but then I find myself becoming impatient not waiting on God to act. The the Holy Spirit of God, reminds me of His teachings. I have learnt the lesson to continually praise God each day. I continually praise God through both the good and difficult times in my life. By praising God, I find my heart is elevated from daily distractions to lasting confidence.

Prayer

Father, thank You for giving me confident faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I wait for You, O God to act out Your purposes on my behalf. You alone are my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken. My victory and honour come from You alone. You are my refuge and strength, a rock where no enemy can reach me. I praise and thank You with all of my heart, mind, body, spirit, and soul and know You will keep with me the covenant You have made with in name of Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen

‘Come and Join Me in God’s Word’ – Robe of Righteousness

Isaiah 61:10 NLT I am overwhelmed with joy in the Lord my God! For He has dressed me with the clothing of salvation and draped me in a robe of righteousness.

I was so overwhelmed with joy, when I met with my Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. I confessed my sins before God, in Jesus name and He set me free. He has filled me with His Holy Spirit, from the top of my head to the tips of my toes with His presence and glory. I am a new person and I belong to Jesus Christ my old life is gone; and a new life has begun! (2 Cornithians 5:17 NLT)
Now I have put on my new garments – He has dressed me with the clothing of salvation and draped me in a robe of righteousness, I have made my peace with God and am in a right relationship with Him.
The Holy Spirit of God is producing the good fruits within my life, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things. My confidence and trust is built upon the Rock and Foundation of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, how grateful and thankful I am to You for rescuing me from the world and forgiving me all my sin. Now, I belong to You in Jesus Christ and my old life has gone; and a new life has begun.
Fill me full with the Spirit of God, and produce in me the good fruits of the Spirit. I receive love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness , gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things. I submit and surrender my life to God, in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord. He will guide and lead me into His perfect will as I follow Him.  Amen

‘Come and Join Me in God’s Word’ – My Confidence Is In God’s Presence

Psalm 73:23-24,28 NLT You guide me with Your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny. Whom have I in heaven but You? I desire You more than anything on earth.
But as for me, how good it is to be near God! I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things You do.

My confidence is in God’s presence and guidance. From birth to death, I am continually in God’s grip. But far more, I have the hope of the resurrection. Though my courage and strength may fail, I know that one day I will be raised to life to serve Him forever. He is my security, and I must cling to Him.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, my confidence is in Your presence and guidance. You guide me with Your Holy Spirit, leading me to a glorious destiny in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord. Whom have I in heaven but You? And earth has nothing I desire more than You. But as for me, how good it is to be near You, O God. I am continually in God’s grip. I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things You do.
But far more, I have the hope of the resurrection. Though my courage and strength may fail, I know that one day I will be raised to life to serve the Lord Jesus Christ forever. He is my security, and I must cling to Him forever and always. Amen

‘Come and Join Me in God’s Word’ – Search for the Lord

Psalm 105:4-6 NLT Search for the Lord and for His strength; continually seek Him. Remember the wonders He has performed, His miracles, and the rulings He has given, you children of His servant Abraham, your descendants of Jacob, His chosen ones.

I search for the Lord daily. I ask Him to guide and lead me into His perfect will. He is my strength, and ever present help in my times of trouble. Sometimes, He seems far away from me, this is when I become persistent to search for Him with all of my heart, mind, body, spirit, and soul.
I remember the wonders He has performed within my life, His miracles, and the rulings He has given to me. I remember the promises Jesus has made with me, I become more and more familiar with the way He has helped me, and I can see how He has helped people in the past as well. This has given me strength and courage. Godly people of the Old and New Testament, teaches me how God helped the men/women of the Bible, He also was willing to help me. Reading the Bible, records the history of God’s people. In searching its pages I have discovered a loving God who is waiting daily for me to find Him.

Prayer

Gracious Father, thank You for giving me the wisdom and strength to continually seek You with all of my heart, mind, body, spirit, and soul. I seek You daily. I ask You to guide and lead me through Your Holy Spirit, and grant me the advice to follow the best pathway for my life, in the name of Jesus Christ.
I am so grateful and thankful for the miracles and the rulings You have given to me. I remember the promises God made with His people in the Old and New Testament, and through His teachings, my obedience to Jesus Christ, will also give me His promises too. I am becoming more and more familiar with the way He has helped me. I praise, exalt, and glorify my awesome God, now and always in the precious name of Jesus Christ, and in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. Amen

‘Come and Join Me in God’s Word’ – God Keeps me. From Sinning

Exodus 20:20 NLT Don’t be afraid, “Moses answered them, “for God has come in this way to test you, and so that your fear of Him will keep you from sinning.”

I have learnt through the Holy Spirit of God, that I do not want to sin, but what I do want is to live a life that is holy, godly, righteous. When God test me, it is right that I should fear Him, because this fear keeps me from sinning. Through Scriptures, He has shown me His almighty power; so that I would know He is the true God; and therefore I would obey Him. I know when I walk a life of obedience, His power is available to me. God wants me to follow Him out of love rather than fear. To overcome this fear, I have had to think more about His love, for His perfect love expels all fear.

Prayer

Almighty and merciful God, I come before You with praise and thanksgiving for everything You have done for me, in the past, present, and for my future, Your plans for me will come to pass in the name of Jesus Christ my precious Lord. Thank You for my Helper, the Teacher, the Comforter, whom You sent to guide and lead me into all truth, through the wisdom of God. I am ever grateful for the teaching He is continually giving to me, as I search for His truth in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen 

‘Come and Join Me in God’s Word’ – You are My Inheritance

Psalm 16:5-8 NLT Lord You alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine. The land You have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance! I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for He is right beside me.

It has been my human nature to make my own plans and then I ask God to bless them. How wrong I have been. Instead, what I should have done is seek God’s will first. I constantly need to be thinking of the Lord and His way of living, then I will gain the insights that will help me make the right decisions and live the way God desires. Communicating with God allows Him to counsel me and give me wisdom.
I will not be shaken, as I have this unique sense of security because I am led by God. I don’t expect God to exempt me a believer from day-to-day circumstances of life. But, when I pray I do believe that He is listening, and He will guide me and instruct me into the best way to live my life. I can move ahead, knowing with a confident heart what is right in God’s eyes. I know that God will keep me from straying off His chosen path.

Prayer

Father God, You alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine. The land You are given to me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance I will receive. I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for He is right beside me, He holds me by His right hand. I thank Him that I can seek His will for my life, and follow His commandments always and forever more in the precious name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. Amen 

‘Come and Join Me in God’s Word’ – Do Not Be Afraid

Isaiah 41:10 NLT Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with My victorious right hand.

God chose me, I did not choose Him; even though I did not deserve it. He has chosen me to represent His Son Jesus Christ to the world, and at times this is a very hard thing for me to do, but God’s Word encourages me.
When I feel inadequate and feel unable to do what God commands me to do, I pray and seek God’s face and ask Him for wisdom, guidance, ecouragement, and strength. I wait upon Him to bring to my mind and heart the Scripture, I need to help me to walk in obedience to Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit of God, strenthens me and empowers me to act upon His Word to honour Jesus Christ precious name.
Now all believers are God’s chosen people, and all share the responsibility of representing Him to the world. One day God will bring all His faithful people together. I do not need to fear because: (1) God is with me (“I am with you”); (2) God has established a relationship with me (“I am Your God”); and (3) God gives me assurance of His strength, help, and victory over sin and death. I am aware of all the ways God has helped me, are you?

Prayer

Father God, thank You that I do not need to be afraid anymore. I know You are God and You are with me. I will not be discouraged, for You will strengthen me and help me. You will hold me up  with Your victorious right hand. I praise and thank You through the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God, and in the precious name of Jesus Christ, I will be obedient to God and bring the ‘Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ’, to the heart and core of Your people. Amen
