Thank You, LORD #Thursday

Psalm 138: 1 ESV

Give Thanks to the LORD

Of David

“I give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods, I sing your praise;”

LORD my God if I have any iniquity in heart, soul or mind, humbly I ask please forgive me. I want to come into Your presence and bring You praise.

It’s another Thursday and I wanted to bring praise and honour to the LORD my God for all the blessings in my own life. I am grateful for the good husband God has given me, I am grateful for two stepchildren which I can teach about the Lord God. I am grateful for my own three children and my three beautiful granddaughters. God has been faithful in that He watches over my children each and every day. (Stepchildren, own children and my granddaughters).

I can only stand before God with a heart full of praise, I can only say thank You Lord for all the good things I have.  I bow myself down before You LORD my God and I want to give You thanks.  LORD thank You for Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness. LORD God, You are exalted above all things Your name and Your word.

LORD although You are on high You still regard me the lowly, LORD though I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve my life; You stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand delivers me.

Prayer

LORD my God I say thank You that You will fulfil YOUR purpose for me; Your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of Your hands. I praise You, in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen

Live like I am Royalty

Hebrew 1: 3 AMP

“The Son is the radiance and only expression of the glory of [our awesome] God [reflecting God’s Shekinah glory, the Light-being, the brilliant light of the divine], and the exact representation and perfect imprint of His [Father’s] essence, and upholding and maintaining and propelling all things [the entire physical and spiritual universe] by His powerful word [carrying the universe along to its predetermined goal]. When He [Himself and no other] had [by offering Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for sin] accomplished purification from sin and established our freedom from guilt, He sat down [revealing His completed work] at the right hand of the Majesty on high [revealing His Divine authority],”

What an awesome God we serve, I know that the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth died for my sins and He rose and sits on the right hand of the Father God. He also sent the Holy Spirit to help me. I have come to a place in my life that makes me think about my position. As Child of God, I need to draw from Him each and every day. Every minute of my life is in God’s hands.

The thing is I forget sometimes that I am a child of God, He chose me before I chose Him. He called me by my name, He knows where I live, He loves me just as I am. I then start focusing on things in my life and lose sight of what God’s doing for me. Shamefully I miss the point and it struck me as I reflected on my past. There are times in my life I am 100% focused on God and His Word. I am walking in victory because I know who I am in Christ. Then the devil comes with thoughts that throw me.

Prayer

Abba Father, thank You that I can say I am royalty, I have been adopted as Your child what an honour and privilege. You are an Awesome God, I love and adore You, bring You praise and Honor, the Holy Spirit is living in me, guiding me and showing me new and wonderful things. My mind is being renewed each and every day. Holy Spirit thank You for the changes in my personal life. Lord Jesus thank You for answered prayer. Amen

Poor choices

2 Timothy 4: 7 AMP

“I have fought the good and worthy and noble fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith [firmly guarding the gospel against error].”

If there is someone that has made numerous mistakes, then I am that person. They say the older you get the more you reflect and regret. Looking back on my own life I have many regrets.

As I think about Paul who wrote these precious words it struck me that God is still in control. Yes, I made poor choices and some I feel were detrimental too. I constantly feel bad about the decisions I made but at the end of the day it’s water under the bridge and there is nothing I can do to undo what I did.

In the meantime, God has been working and I have become more aware of Him in my life. I realise that I am changing each day, bit by bit. If you live with me you will understand the changes that are happening in my life. If you don’t know me that well you might think I have always been so nice.

Prayer

Abba Father, thank You, for second, third and many chances with You. As I reflect on my past I realize I have slipped up badly and made such bad decisions. Please, Lord, I have brought it to Your throne, forgive me.

I dedicate my life back into Your hands and I pray that You will release Your Holy Spirit over each and every person reading my blog today. Touching their lives, bringing miracles, healing and supernatural favour with You Lord and with people. Blessing untold, in the Holy Name of Your Son Jesus Christ. Amen

Goodness

Psalm 34:8 (NIV)

Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

The Lord is good; He is good in the good times as well as in the bad times. Psalm 34: 8 tell us “Taste and see that the Lord is good.”

We went through some really bad times; we didn’t have food on our table to eat. Someone came along and gave us sirloin steaks for 3 months. The best meat ever! We never asked for the meat they said: “the Lord said we should bring this over to your house.”

It was such a blessing to our house, we believed God for some many things and each time He came through for us. Also, just remember the bad times, your character is pulled and plucked, it is painful and many time it’s embarrassing. The growth, on the other hand, is awesome.

Prayer

Abba Father thank You, Lord, for Your goodness, we go through bad times and life seems unfair and we may feel alone when in fact You are right here with us. Thank You, Lord, for helping us, in Jesus Name. Amen

He is “all-knowing”

1 Corinthians 2:10-11 (NIV)

“These are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11For who knows a person’s thoughts except for their own spirit within them? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. As we start our day let us keep in mind that the Lord God knows all things. God knows each person’s thoughts.”

Imagine this you work with someone that you deem an icon and they have something beautiful you cannot afford. This person takes a trip overseas and on their return, they bring you a beautiful ‘leather purse’ all the way from Milano.

Kholeka my manager went overseas to Milan and returned with a beautiful purse for me isn’t God great. No one knew my heart’s desire.

Prayer

Abba Father thank You for seeing our desires and answering them through the people around us. I have never had the privilege to travel overseas but all my friends come with beautiful gifts for me. Lord, You are awesome and I want to thank You for the beautiful memorabilia, in the name of Jesus. Amen

Holy Spirit

Acts 1:8 (NIV)

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

In church, our Pastor once explained to us the concept of the Holy Spirit. Using the Sun as an example, The Father God is equal to the Sun. The Lord Jesus is equal to the Sun’s rays and the Holy Spirit is equal to the heat of the Sun in our bodies. So the Sun is used to illustrate the 3-in-1 God.

May the Lord bless you with the Holy Spirit in your own life, in faith we believed the Lord Jesus. Christ died on the cross and rose after 3 days. Then He went up into heaven and sits on the right hand of the Father God and sent the Holy Spirit to comfort and guide us.

Prayer

Abba Father in my explanation I want to ask that You will reveal the truth of the matter to the person reading this today. May we receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on us and may we be witnesses to people we deal with each day, in the name of Jesus. Amen

Stay focused, draw near to God.

Zechariah 2: 5 AMP

“For I, declares the LORD, “will be a wall of fire around her [protecting her from enemies], and I will be the glory in her midst.”

As I think about the scripture referred to above it is true for me that I cannot do anything without the help of the Holy Ghost in my life. I declare the words of the LORD today in my own life that a wall of fire is around me, protecting me from my enemies, and God will be the glory in my midst. As I face today I pray that the Lord will strengthen me to face each and every situation in my life.

Just as I am, I focus my whole life on the LORD my God. I want to be a pleasing aroma to God. I want to be the person He sees when looking down to earth. I have so much to learn and I want to learn as much as I can. The Holy Ghost is with me and will enable me to whatever I need to do.

We cannot get through life without someone to help us. As Christians, we need God in our lives with the help of the Holy Ghost we are able to face any situation.

Prayer

Lord my God, thank You for looking after me. Thank You for the Holy Ghost and thank You that I can call on You any time of day. Lord this is a new day and without the help of the Holy Ghost, I cannot make it. I have enemies that cannot wait to smear my name and speak ill of me. I forgive them Lord and set them free, please forgive them too and set them free. I pray this in the Holy Name of Your Son Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen
