I am confirmed, anointed and sealed in Christ.

November 22 I am confirmed, anointed and sealed in Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:21 (ISV) 21 "Now the one who makes us—and you as well—secure in union with the Messiah and has anointed us is God."

God gives us the Holy Spirit so that we can build a strong relationship with the Lord Jesus. We are now able to spend time with Him. To be anointed means we apart from others, the Holy Spirit covers us and helps us with our work going forward. We equipped to spread the Good News. God also sealed each one of us with His Holy Spirit, a mark and God set the Holy Spirit inside of each one of us. Bearing the mark (Holy Spirit) in our own lives proves that God is with us. If you do not have the Holy Spirit, pray and ask the Lord to anoint you with His Spirit. Speak to Your Pastor or Minister. Prayer Our Father; in heaven, hallowed be your name. Please help me bring my prayers in alinement with Your Word today. Thank You, Father, for Your loving kindness and Your mercy new every day. Praise and honour to You, Lord for You know and understand me. Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. In Jesus Name, Amen.

I'm free from charges of condemnation.

November 21 I'm free from charges of condemnation.

Romans 8:33-34 (TLB) 33 "Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? Will God? No! He is the one who has forgiven us and given us right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? Will Christ? No! For he is the one who died for us and came back to life again for us and is sitting at the place of highest honour next to God, pleading for us there in heaven." Lord God, thank You that we are free from any charges of condemnation against us. You have chosen us for Your own. We want to take this time in worshipping You and praising Your Name. You have given us the assurance we are free in Jesus Holy Name. If you have feelings of condemnation, shake them off, it's not coming from God or the Lord Jesus. Meditate on the scripture today. Psalm 143: 10 (NRSV) "Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Let your good spirit lead me on a level path." I am waiting expectantly to be taught by God. Isaiah 58:9 (NRSV) "Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; youy shall cr5 for help, and he will say, Here I am . . . The LORD will guid you continually." Prayer Abba Father, Lord, please teach us and help us to stay focused on Your word. In humble prayer, we ask to remind us of our standing with You in our hour of need. Lord, by myself, I can do nothing; I judge as I hear, and my judgment is , for I seek not to please myself but Him. In Jesus Name, Amen.

All things, we love God.

November 20 All things, we love God.

Romans 8:28 (TLB) 28 "And we know that all that happens to us is working for our good if we love God and are fitting into his plans." Sometimes life takes us to unexpected places, and we may feel it cannot be right. We know God lets all things happen for the good of those who love Him. Looking at it from my perspective, I had a contract job for ten months; I was so unhappy that I could not say on. Then I reminded myself, all things work together for the good of those who love God. So, going forward, I wait on the Lord when the time is right He will open the right doors for me to work again. Don't despair; God knows best. I encourage you today, trust in God. I am grateful that the LORD, is true and faithful, all thing work for those who love God. It's been two years since I have worked and I am happy to say, God opened a shut door. I am returning to work in 2022 for another year. Glory and honor to the Lord God. It's difficult to find work at my age, and without complaining and worrying God, opened a door for me. I was thinking, I wouldn't work again, Im too old. God said, don't worry I will make away. And now Im getting ready to return to work. Praise the Lord, He has come through for me. Prayer Abba Father, I will find You, Lord, when I seek You with all my heart and with all my soul. O Lord, I call You, and you found me. Great and mighty are You, thank You, thank You, thank You, Lord for You have opened a door for me. I know it was closed and You opened it for me. Praise and glory to Your Holy Name, You are in control over every situation in our lives. Blessing and honor to You, Lord Jesus. We need You Lord Jesus, Amen.

Square leaf knitting

Square leaf knitting

Mom used to knit these little squares and she made a beautiful bedspread for her double bed. I loved the little leaves sticking out. I lost my pattern for the square leaf blanket and I tried to knit this out of my head. To my surprise, I remembered the pattern. I am still tweaking it here and there. When knitting it seems your brain remembers a lot more than you think. As I was knitting I picked up the pattern and have completed a couple of squres. I showed the pattern to my mom and I hope she understands my thinking. I sat behind my PC and typed each row. I would knit one-row type the pattern on the page. It's my best effort, and we hope she can knit a blanket going forward. The challenge was the ending but I realised I should have kept to my original stitches. I got this down now.

We have no Condemnation

November 19

We have no Condemnation. Romans 8:1-2 (TLB) 1 "So there is now no condemnation awaiting those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2 For the power of the life-giving Spirit—and this power is mine through Christ Jesus—has freed me from the vicious circle of sin and death." We are free from condemnation, and God convicts one and Satan condemns one. In John 3 verse 17, we see that God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Jesus is our redeemer, and with Him, we can face any circumstances. Today, you might be facing difficult circumstance. It may feel like you're condemned, shake it off. Remember who you are in the Lord Jesus Christ. Any evil thoughts spring to mind, remind yourself who you are in Christ. He has given us the life-giving Spirit, the power to free us from the vicious circle of sin and death. Embrace the Lord Jesus and draw near to Him each day. Be omindfulf the presence of the Lord. God's words will never return empty to Him, we know what He says will take place. Prayer O Lord God, thank You that we may come to learn our position in the Lord Jesus Christ. No condemnation comes through the Power of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we are free from sin and death. His grace is more than enough to safe. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

"You have everything when you have Christ."

November 18

"You have everything when you have Christ." Colossians 2:10 (TLB) 10 "So you have everything when you have Christ, and you are filled with God through your union with Christ. He is the highest Ruler, with authority over every other power." Everything we have in life is a gift from God. We first need to understand God's love for us. We need to experience God's love in our lives. We need to realise that God loves us completely; nothing we do can ever stop God from loving us. That is when we understand that when we have everything, we have Christ. We, though, are going to love - love and be loved. First, we where loved, now we love. He loved us first. 1 John 4, verse 19. We may not think about this, but we need to renew our relationships with ourselves. Why? We spend a lot of time with ourselves, and I need to to get along with me. In loving myself in a balanced way, I am affirming God as my creator. Prayer Abba Father, according to Your Word, I kneel before You, I have everything when I have Christ. Lord, help me to live a balanced life, focused and meditated on You. I have everything when I have You, Lord Jesus. Bless my life, my family and my friends in Your Holy Name, Amen.

Free and Forgiven

November 17

Free and Forgiven. Colossians 1:14 (TLB) 14 "Who bought our freedom with his blood and forgave us all our sins." If we understand the scripture set before us today. If we do, Jesus should have a dramatic impact on the way we are living right now. The Lord Jesus is in a league of His own when it comes to forgiveness of sins. I doubt I have the same way of dealing with forgiveness as He does. I hope that I don't view this without know the implications for my sins. I reflect and meditate on what happened to the Lord Jesus. When Jesus Christ's aggressors committed the ultimate crime, they executed their holy Creator. I keep grudges against my fellow man, am I holding a horrible illegitimate grudge? If the Lord Jesus was able to forgive me of all my iniquities, then why do I still bear grudges against people who hurt me? So in all fairness do I emulate God's grace in my life? Prayer Abba Father, Lord it is by free grace that I have salvation through faith. And this salvation is not of myself, but it is the gift of You Lord. Today, LORD may I stay in Your grace, if I am proud or arrogant, please forgive me. Let Your Word was over my soul, mind and cleanse my heart. Without You Lord Jesus I cannot face this day. Thank You, for paying the ultimate price on the cross for my sins. All glory and honor due to Your Holy Name. Amen

"We may come to God the Father."

November 16

"We may come to God the Father." Ephesians 2:18 (TLB) 18 "Now all of us, whether Jews or Gentiles, may come to God the Father with the Holy Spirit's help because of what Christ has done for us." In the days of Moses,and Abraham, and even the Lord Jesus. There was a High Priest who went into the Holy of Holy on behalf of the people. This Priest needed to pray to God and bring the sin offerings of the people. It is possible to actually talk to God, the Holy Spirit, dwells insideoue hearts. As we pray, we are able to draw near to God. The Holy Spirit in us brings our thoughts into alignment with that of God's. When we study God's Word we learn to embrace God. God's heart is for his children to know him, understand him, and seek him. A balanced discipline of reading God's Word heps us recognize God's heart. The result of seeking God is finding God! In coming to the Lord and praying to the Lord we find the heart of God. When Jesus gave His life on the cross, He was thinking of you and me, opening this door for us to speak to our God. I am not a Jew, and but I am in Jesus, I have the right to come to God with my prayers and petitions. So do you. What is hindering you from spending time with God? In fostering this habit of spending time with God in His Word we are able to see more of God's heart. What changes do you need to make in your daily quiet time? Prayer Heavenly Fater, Your instructions are pleasant because they draw me closer to You. Your commands are good because You want what's best for my life. Please help me not to fall back and away from You. LORD, please remind me of this and show me the joy that I find in Your presence. Fill me Holy Spirit with a deep desire to seek You. Help us with our needs and guide us with our plans. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Adopted Child of God

November 15

Adopted Child of God. Ephesians 1:5 (TLB) 5 "His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by sending Jesus Christ to die for us. And he did this because he wanted to!" It is so exciting knowing that I am so important to God that He made plans a very long time ago to adopt me into His family. I know the Lord Jesus Christ had to die for me. I now have the opportunity of being God's child. If the Lord Jesus didn't die on the cross for me, my life would not be worth living. Have you considered what has taken place? God has called us. We are His children, and He is our friend. We are the righteousness of God in Christ, He bought us with a high price, we are holy, and God has adopted us. Can you imagine what life would be if we did not know the Lord? My life would be an enormous big mess. I am so grateful that God gave me a second chance and third and fourth and so many chances, to keep on returning to God. His mercy is new every day. Praise be to the LORD God, who is, who will come. Today I am sitting here and I turn to God and this is my heart "Lord, everything I need to succeed in life I have in You!" Prayer Heavenly Father, thank You, Lord! We have so much to be grateful for. The fact that You have adopted each one of us as Your children bring great joy into our hearts today. We are growing and becoming strong in the spirit filled with wisdom, and the grace of God is upon each of us. Lord, thank You, for pouring the blessings over each of us today. We are ready for anything and everything. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

I am holy.

November 14

I am holy. Ephesians 1:1 (NIVUK) 1 "Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To God's holy people in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus." The Apostle Paul is writing to the people in Ephesus, reminding them that they are the holy people of God. I am blessed, are you? Of course, you are blessed. You are holy on the grounds of what you think. The Lord, Jesus Christ, and so do you otherwise you would not be reading this daily devotion today now, would you? If you do not think you are holy, then you should start by committing your life to the Lord Jesus. Take this time to reflect on where you stand in your relationship with the Lord Jesus. Prayer Abba Father, I pray Your Word from Leviticus 20 verses 7 "I consecrate myself, therefore, and I will be holy, for He is the Lord my God." Because I am set free from sin and have become the slave of God, I have my present reward in holiness, and its end is eternal life. I embrace You, Lord Jesus Christ, and I surrender my life today, I have made an absolute dedication of my body as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God which is my reasonable service and spiritual worship. Amen.

"Joined together as one person."

November 11

"Joined together as one person." 1 Corinthians 6:17 (TLB) 17 "But if you give yourself to the Lord, you and Christ are joined together as one person." When you read this passage, have you noticed what it is stating? As I read it, this is what I understand if I give myself to the Lord, then Christ and I, together as one person. So, if we joined together as one person, that means that the Lord Jesus is one with me. Can you see the impact this can have on your life? What a remarkable understanding, we joined together with the Lord Jesus Christ. Both you and I are one with Christ. Let these words sink in and meditate on them today as you praise the Lord Jesus. God is so awesome that He gave Jesus to save both you and me from our sins. Now I know, and you know that we have been born again, we have surrendered our lives to the Lord Jesus. We are friends, we are in right standing with God. The Lord Jesus and to make it even better we joined together with Jesus Christ as one. Prayer Abba Father, Lord, we don't always think about where we stand with you in our lives. We do want to thank You, for the Lord Jesus, who is one with us today. Praise and worship Your Holy Name and give You all the glory, in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Jesus Friend

November 9

Jesus' friend. John 15:15 (TLB) 15 "I no longer call you slaves, for a master, doesn't confide in his slaves; now you are my friends, proved by the fact that I have told you everything the Father told me." We are no longer slaves the Lord Jesus has confided in each of us, and we have a relationship with the Lord. As a friend, we can now come and sit with the Lord Jesus and talk to Him about everything in our lives. We know this because the Word states it, and we can come into His presence. Think about your friends around you, and you call them continually telling them little things of importance in your life. You share all the funny jokes and laugh about good things taking place, and when you feel sad, you also share with your friends. Hopefully, they are there to cheer you up again. Prayer Abba Father, I humbly get down on my knees before You Father God, You are the magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth. I ask You to strengthen me by Your Spirit - not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength - that Christ will live in me as I open the door and invite Jesus in. And I pray to ask Jesus with both feet planted firmly on love, reach out and experience the breadth and test its length! Plumb the depths and rise to the heights of Your fullness God. In Jesus Christ Name, Amen. November 10 I am the Righteousness of God. Romans 5:1 (TLB) 1 "So now, since we have been made right in God's sight by faith in his promises, we can have real peace with him because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us." As you start your day, I want to encourage you with the thought that both you and I are the righteousness of God in Christ. Once we have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, we have become right with God. Not only are we children of the Living God, but also we have a friend in Jesus who has made us righteous through His blood. Think of ways to say thank You, Lord Jesus. Think of the good things that you have experienced in the past week and months. Without the Lord Jesus, both you and I, our souls, need saving. Why don't you tell someone about the Lord Jesus today? Allow them to change their lives. Prayer Abba Father, may the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. Please keep my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking deceit today, and I am the righteousness of God in Christ. Help me, stay focused on You, clothe me in Jesus Christ today. Amen.

Is there an interpretation to my dream?

In my dream, I dreamt of my deceased Dad?

Is there an interpretation to my dream? Dream: I was walking in a shopping centre with my sister, I didn't see her face but I know it was her. We walked into a coffee shop and I immediately turned around to leave the shop. I saw Coke A Cola bottles stacked against the back wall. She said: "no, wait look there's Dad." We walked into the shop and against the wall were 3 tables with two chairs. My Dad and his second wife were drinking coffee. All the chairs were against the wall standing on their heads and the feet of the chairs to the ceiling. We took chairs and placed them down in front of my Dad. On the coffee table were sweets that looked like little umbrellas but only the cane was visible. I picked one up and said: "I don't know why I'm so stingy lately." My Dad passed away on 31 March 2008 and I have never dreamt of him until this morning.

I am a Child of God.

November 8

I am a Child of God. John 1: 11-12 (TLB) 11-12 "Even in his own land and among his own people, the Jews, he was not accepted. Only a few would welcome and receive him. But to all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God. All they needed to do was to trust him to save them." The Lord Jesus was not accepted among His own people, the Jews but for a few who would welcome and receive Him. Now, as Christians, we have the honour and privilege to accept Him as our Lord and Saviour. The Lord Jesus gave us who believe in Him the right to become children of God. We need to trust in the Lord Jesus. I want to encourage you today to study and meditate on these words, think about the price that made for you and me. Take this opportunity to thank God for His only begotten son. Prayer Abba Father, as for me, I will enter the Lord's house through the plenty of His steadfast love and mercy. I will worship toward and at His holy temple in reverent fear and awe of Him. I am not wise in my own eyes. I fear and worship the Lord Jesus. Amen.

Teach me to live in an attitude of prayer.

November 7

Teach me to live in an attitude of prayer. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (TLB) 18 "No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." As part of our journey, we know life can bring challenges all the time. So to curb these challenges, we should start our day in prayer. We humble ourselves before our living God. We asking for what we need and thanking the Lord for what we have in Jesus name. Because we belong to Christ Jesus, we will be able to draw for the Holy Spirit in our lives. Our lives are in the Lord, and we will live according to it, choosing life each day. In humble prayer, we commit our lives to God, asking Him to teach us to live in an attitude of worship. Not acting all spiritual but actually living a spiritual experience. Prayer Lord, teach me an attitude of prayer, You Lord, are near to me and all who call upon Your Name. Who call on You and in truth. You, Lord, will fulfil the desires of those who fear You, You will hear our cry and will save us. In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, we pray, Amen.

Am I walking in God's will?

November 6 Am I walking in God's will? Romans 8:6 (TLB) 6 "Following after the Holy Spirit leads to life and peace, but following after the old nature leads to death." As a Christian, the Holy Spirit lives inside of me and when I come to an awkward situation, I can call on God. The Holy Spirit will help me, and I will have peace in my life. So, I am still human, and my flesh wants to have its way all the time. How do I know which one is the best option to go with? Because in Christ, I will follow my spiritual prompts and look for guidance in the Bible. The Lord Jesus told His disciples how He would die. Peter couldn't come to terms with this and he refused to accept it. Matthew 16 : 22 "Heaven forbid sir, this will never happen to you." Peter didn't think what would Jesus do, and he was thinking about what can I do. That's when the Lord Jesus said: "Satan get behind me." Am I walking with God? We all try and it's only through reading Scripture and prayer that we draw near to the LORD. God expects us to use faith and wisdom. We need to share the Word of God with fellow man. Prayer In humble prayer, Lord Jesus, guide and teach each one of us to keep our minds focused on You Lord. Lord, I ask and keep on asking, and I receive. I seek and keep on exploring, and I find. Lord, I am knocking and keep on knocking, and the doors open unto me. We want to do God's will each day. Lord help us keep Your word. Amen.

We are find out God's will.

November 5

We are finding out God's will. Proverbs 3:6 (TLB) 6 "In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success." Daily, we need to come to the Lord first thing each morning and pray about the day ahead of us. By dedicating our day into God's hand, we are asking Him for guidance, protection, and wisdom for the day ahead of us. God directs the steps of a godly person; He delights in every detail of their lives (Psalm 37 verse 23). We have some direction; each time we are facing a challenge we are able to bring this to the Lord in prayer. Nothing is too small or too big for the Lord, He can and will solve it for us. What is holding you or I back from finding out God's will for our lives? Come to think about it, and I would say my own will. When I decide on a matter I act on it, and there is no place for God to intervene, I made my decision. We need to step back and trust God and let his will prevail. Remember obedience is the doorway to blessings. We need to spend time with God praying daily; "in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion" Psalm 27: 5 KJV Are you letting things that don't matter overwhelm you today? Are you upset about things that should be dismissed as trivialities? Here's your chance, get alone with the LORD today, and let Him restore your perspective. Remember don't be to proud to ask for help. Find someone you know is in a relationship with the LORD, to give you advice and help you. Prayer O Lord God, please guide me in Your truth and faithfulness and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation, for You do I wait all day long. I trust in and rely on You, Lord; I say You are my God, and I believe my life and time is in Your hands. In Jesus Name, Amen.

"if anyone loves God."

November 4

"If anyone loves God." 1 Corinthians 8:3 (NKJV) 3 "But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him." God is awesome and beautiful, He is our counsellor and our friend, and He loved each one of us before we loved Him. As I ponder on the words I read here, I want it to take root in my heart. If "I" love God, then "I" will be known by God. Does God know you? Yes, you, and I are. Remember, God knows your name (Isaiah 43 verse 1); God even knows where you live (Psalm 139). God called you by name. These couple of verses reminds me that from the minute of my birth to the day I lay my head down; God knows me. He is omnipotent, all around us, we are His. I remind myself always that I am here for a reason and a purpose. John 3 verse 16 reminds me of God's unfailing love towards me. Today, I want to challenge you to meet Good in the pages of Scripture. Let the Word of God wash over you, cleanse you, and heal you. When we focus on God's love for our lives we see the Scripture is alive. The Spirit of God will take the Word of God and revive our souls. How does it work? Why does it happen? Easy - this book - the Bible is alive. Pulsating with life, God's life. It's not a dead, book of theology, it's aflame with life-giving power. Reading the Scriptures we breath the breath of God. This renews, restores and rejuvenates our souls. My hearts desire is to stay focused on Scripture, I want the Word to become infused in my soul. Because I am a neurotic, unstable, middle-aged woman I need my feet planted in God's Word. I want to encourage you to carefully study the Scripture. Because without it I do not believe I would make it. Prayer Father God, thank You for giving me Scripture. I am asking You Lord, that when I read or listen to it, it will change me. Lord, I know You love me, I love You. Lord, open my ears and heart this morning so Your words can penetrate my heart, so that I will never be the same. Lord, make me receptive to hear from You. I want to Your Holy Spirit to teach and guide me. Taking me to the next level in my life. Thank You, Lord, in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ. Amen

Where does your strenght come from?

November 3 Where does your strength come from?

Psalm 46:1 (NKJV) God the Refuge of His People and Conqueror of the Nations To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song for Alamoth. 1 "God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble." Where does your strength come from? One day I experienced a total melt down at home. Covid 19 has taken it's toll on my life. I was standing washing dishes in my kitchen and I had experienced a feeling of total dread. I thought something terrible was going to happen to my family. This fear was so real I cried for days. The only confidence and peace of mind I could find is God. My little boat was sailing in stormy seas. I was uncertain and so afraid it seemed difficult and I was out of sorts. I prayed and in that time I was feeling emotions of being so much alone. My battle with fear was real. The only way I got out of this dark and lonely place was to find my strength in God. I run to the Lord, Jesus Christ and I am learning that without Jesus in my life I cannot make the day. Fighty battles of self-destruction and emotional turmoil isn't fun. By studying God's Word, I am focusing on the way forward and letting go of my difficulties. We need to store the Word of God within our hearts. When times of difficulties cloud our minds, we can draw from the Word. By doing this we have hope and courage ready to fire against the pains and hurts we are facing. I know my life seems boring to other people. I bake cakes for a living but God has been so gracious towards me. He opened the door for great opportunities. I am so grateful that I can experience God's grace in my own life new every day. What is my strategy going forward? Get up each day, take a shower, make my bed. Give my husband something to eat. Love the people in my life. Trust in God with all my being and know only God knows where my strength comes from. My strength is in God Almighty. Hiding God's truths in my life, my heart and my mind. Words to live by when facing turmoil "Lord, Jesus I don't understand this, but I trust You today." or "Thank You, Jesus, You brought me this far, I know You won't leave me now." or "Yes, this pain is so real, but my victory in You is unknown." Prayer Thank You, Lord, that You are a refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Today we pray about our challenges, Lord, please guide us and help us. You care deeply about me. Lord Jesus, You want me to stay close to You because Your presence brings joy and abundant life! This morning please align my heart with Yours and remind me of Your goodness. Remind me of Your faithfulness. I bind the feelings of dread in Jesus Christs Name today. Lord, please give me the strength to look up and praise You. No matter what I face, I will choose to place my hope in You. In Jesus Name, Amen.

I will serve Jesus Christ, as long as I live.

November 2

As long as I live, I will serve. God Psalm 91:16 (NKJV) 16 “With long life, I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.” It's something we all are facing, aging isn't negotiable. I am in my late fifties and approaching sixty. It's clear I cannot do everything I did when I was in my thirtys. Facing my sixties is something I have to do. I don't look the same and my body is changing. These days I am living my life to the fullest. Focusing my time and attention on the Lord Jesus. My mom phoned me last Monday in tears, her brother passed away. He was 79 years of age. She feels sad and realised that she's the last of her family. We spoke about her brother and then I reminded her that on one is leaving earth alive. The only person I recall leaving earther alive was Enoch who lived for 365 years. Enoch and walked off with God into heaven. We need a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Study your Bible make time to come into the presence of God and draw near to Him. By staying connected to God we are able to hold onto the word that God is our salvation. Serving the Lord Jesus is our main aim. Today make the effort to praise the Lord Jesus and get into His presence. Reading Psalm 89 verses 15 in the message, the Psalmist reminds to praise God. Praise is our password to opening heavens door. When we praise we are opening the doors for God to enter our lives. Prayer Good morning Father God, I want to enter into Your presence today. The Psalmist reminds me to praise You. Today, I am grateful and happy that You have opened the door so that we may enter into Your presence. In praising and worshiping You we declare we will serve You, as long as we live. Lord in our praises we want to draw closer to You. You remind me today "blessed are the people who know the passwords of praise." Today we want to claim You, walk in Your presence and bring You glory and honor. Lord, I need Your direct intervention in my life today. Thank You, for this time we can spend together. Thank You, Lord for a new day. In the Holy name of Jesus Christ. I will praise You and Honor You. Amen

Are you standing on your soapbox?

November 1 Are you standing on your soapbox? Nehemiah 8:4a (NKJV) 4 "So Ezra the scribe stood on a platform of wood which they had made for the purpose." As a priest and scribe, Ezra requested to read the Word of God to the people. On hearing the Word, some of the people wept, but to sing praises to the Lord God. Are you standing on your soapbox today? Where are you giving your impromptu speech? Is it on the Internet ~ your Blog spot, your Facebook account or Instagram? We have the ability to spread the Word of God to so many people over the Internet, let us make use of it. On this medium, we can teach people, counsel people and encourage people. Take a moment and think of how many people you can reach? So many are on the Internet today, let us use this platform and spread the Word of God. Prayer Abba Father, You are the glory of my strength and Your favour is exalted in my life. Lord thank You for establishing me today. Thank You for granting me a life of support with You and with people. Thank You for the happiness in my life because of Your supernatural favour in my life today. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
