Show me Your purpose for my life Lord God.

Good morning Darlings.  Hmm I love the sound of the birds singing in the trees, the sound of their happy songs fill my heart with peace and joy.  God made these little birds to sing early in the morning proclaiming a new day, bright and pleasing to man and God.  How awesome it is to wake up again and enjoy the peace and quiet early in the morning.  The children are still sleeping, the kittens popped by to say hello, the sky is blue with beautiful white clouds hanging around, the sun peaked out but is undercover by the white clouds.  I was reading 1 Kings 3: 4 – 28.  King Solomon was sleeping and God came to him during the night while he lay sleeping.  Speaking to King Solomon in his dream God asked King Solomon ‘Ask for whatever you want me to give you.’  Then Solomon spoke to God and he answered God ‘You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David, because he was faithful to you and righteous and upright in heart.  You have continued this great kindness to him and have given him a son to sit on his throne this very day.  Now, O LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David.  But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties.  Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong.  For who is able to govern this great people of yours?’

It is my desire to truly know what God has placed within me, and how much am I able to bear.  I am constantly wanting to know what my purpose in this life is.  Who should I be and Lord God I want to ask You plainly what is Your plan for my life at this stage in my life.  

I pray Father God to please reveal to me the plans You have for my life, what is my purpose in this life and do I have enough strength to bear the burdens You have place on me.  Lord I pray;  please answer me quickly, O LORD, my spirit fails me.  Don’t hide Your Face from me or I will surely die.  Lord God show me the way I should go, for to You I lift up my soul.  Teach me Lord to do Your Will, for You are my God, may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.  For Your name’s sake, O Lord, preserve my life, in Your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.  I ask this in Your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.  In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.

My cup overflows!! Praise the Lord

King David wrote in Psalm 23 ‘You (The Lord God) anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.  Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.’

God is wonderful and His mercy is new every day.  When God anoints our heads it means His supernatural favour is on us.  This oil makes it easy for us to move forward in life, with God’s anointing on my life I am able to face each day and enjoy the blessings He has in store for me.

Joel Osteen mentioned that with oil we can make things fluid and because it is fluid they flow.  Imagine you are actually fluid because of God’s anointing on your head.  

It is my prayer that you will have a blessed day and that all the supernatural favour of God will be on You today.  We can only be grateful for God’s supernatural favour in our lives, thank You Lord in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ.  You are awesome Lord.

John's birth

Mary laughed and started to sing:  ‘ My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.  From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me – holy is his name.  His mercy extends to those who fear him.  He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.  He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble.  He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.  He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our fathers.’

Mary stayed with Elizabeth for four months, during this time Elizabeth gave birth to John the Baptist.

Elizabeth gave birth to her little boy John and all her neighbours and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.

Little baby John was circumcised on the eight day and they were going to name him Zechariah but Elizabeth spoke up and said ‘No! He is to be called John.’

Her friends and relatives said but there is no one in your family called Johan.

Zechariah’s mouth opened and he said “praise God” their friends were amazed and filled with awe.

Thank you Lord

Come Lord Jesus, Come we pray!

This month I want to focus on the Lord Jesus Christ birth and the knowledge that we are saved by grace through the Lord Jesus Christ.  I want to think about what it must be to have the surety that when we move on into the eternal life we are in God’s house with the Lord Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit and Father God.

John 1:  12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God –

A meeting was called in heaven and God had it minuted that the Angel Gabriel was to go to earth and speak to the young virgin girl Mary who was pledge to be married to a man named Joseph.  Mary was cleaning the house when she heard a knock on her parents front door.  On opening the door she saw the Angel Gabriel.  ‘Greeting, you who are highly favoured!  The Lord is with you.’ Gabriel greeted her.  Mary ‘good day sir, please come in and sit down.  May I offer you something to drink.’  The angel came into the house and sat down. ‘Mary don’t be afraid, you have found favour with God.  You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name of Jesus.  He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.  The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, his kingdom will never end.’  Eyes wide Mary said ‘How can that be I am a virgin?’  Blushing as she looked at the angel Gabriel.  Gabriel looked at her and said ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.  So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.  Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth mount.  For nothing is impossible with God.’

Mary answered ‘I am the Lord’s servant, may it be to me as you have said.’  The Angel Gabriel smiled at her and said he needed to leave.  

Mary quickly got ready and left her home to go and visit Elizabeth.  When she got to Zechariah’s house she called out ‘Good afternoon Elizabeth.’  When Elizabeth heard Mary’s voice the baby in her womb leaped.  Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and in a loud voice she exclaimed ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed I the child you will bear!’  She turned and looked at Mary ‘why am I so favoured, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?  As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for you.  Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished.’

We are going into the season of joy and I want to encourage you today to keep your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  We are His children bought by His blood.

May you have a blessed day and may the peace, joy and love of the Lord follow you this month and the coming year.

Rejoice in the Lord!!!

Like you, I am also writing my own biography.   The main topic in my biography obviously will be me and my focus will be on God.   I believe my reason for living is firstly to worship and praise the Lord my God.  In Psalms 34 we are reminded to Praise the Lord at all times.  Today, it is my desire to worship and praise the Lord with my lips, with my whole being I want to go out and praise the Lord my God.  Come with me and let us give glory to the Lord our God.  Let us praise His name together. 

Psalms 34: 1 – 3 ‘I will praise the Lord at all times; his praise is always on my lips.  My whole being praises the Lord.  The poor will hear and be glad.  Glorify the Lord with me, and let us praise his name together.’

As it is written in Thessalonians 5, rejoice always.  I want to make this my one and only purpose in life and that is to rejoice always in the Lord my God.   The Lord God is so wonderful and He looks after all of us.  What are we without Him?  Nothing, we cannot do anything for ourselves and we need to stay at His feet.  You too are building your relationship with the Lord our God, drawing closer and closer to Him each and every day.  I have to take the time in the mornings, drawing from the word of God, growing spiritually and not letting go.  In holy prayer I am seeking His will in my own life.

1 Thessalonians 5: 16 ‘Rejoice always.’  

Taking this command from the Bible, I will rejoice always in my Lord God.  I will praise the Lord with my whole being, I want to ask you to hear and be glad with me.  Let us praise the Lord’s name together.

Nehemiah 8: 10 ‘the joy of the Lord is your strength.’

Lord Jesus Christ you are my joy and my strength, I dedicate my life into Your hands today, asking You to lift me up and hold  me close to You.  Never, Lord, never let me go as I feel I am nothing without You.  I declare and state boldly You Lord Jesus Christ is my everything, my future lay in Your hands.  I am successful through You Lord Jesus, I am prosperous, I am financially stable, I have more and more because of You Lord.
