#Friday




Psalm 136: 1 KJV “O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever.”

O what a wonderful week we enjoyed, the LORD blessed us to wake up each day and go to work, do the best we can and come home to our families. The weekend is ahead of us and we have some time to just relax. Taking time to spend with our families and friends and recharging for Mondays.

Enjoy your weekend and spend time with your family and friends and don’t forget to go to church on Sunday and praise the LORD for He spared us for another week. We are able to go back to work doing what we love.

The kids are in school and they are learning and preparing for their futures. God has a good plan for each of our lives, plans to prosper us and give us a great future.

Prayer

LORD God we bring praises to Your Name. LORD thank You so much for this past week, we did the best we can and we want to say thank YOU for another weekend. Fridays are every bodies favored day. Praise Your Holy Name in Jesus Christs Name. Amen

#Husbands and #Wives




Genesis 3: 6 “She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.”

In the beginning God created the earth and everything on it and then He made Adam. After a while He created Eve. God has a structure in place and in the scheme of things Adam was first and Eve came next. God placed Adam first so that he would be in charge of all kinds of things. Adam is supposed to watch out for Eve and make sure she was safe.

Satan of course was watching Eve and knew that she would be easy to convince. I believe Eve was just like any other woman, admiring the fruit in the middle of the garden Satan saw his opportunity and took it. Where was Adam? When reading this passage it is clear Adam was with her. So Adam followed Eve wherever she was in the garden.

Today we know that the wages of sin is death. But we also know that John 10 verse 10, states that when a husband is truly submitted to Christ, he can protect his family. Husbands I want to encourage you today to come to the Lord Jesus. Wives if you are born again I want to encourage you to pray for your husbands and encourage them to walk with God.  

Prayer

Lord God humbly we pray for our marriages. We dedicate our husbands into Your hands today. We want to pray for their lives. Committing them into Your hands and pray for husbands that are truly submitted to You Lord Jesus. We honor our husbands who are submitted to You and praise You Lord for being so good to us. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen

Controlling my anger




Proverbs 11: 19 “He that is steadfast in righteousness shall attain unto life;
And he that pursuit evil doeth it to his own death.”

As I think and study the Word of God it is clear to me that I am reminded to take control of my mind and with that I am able to control my temper too. Yes it is difficult but I am learning to do this each and every day. When a situation presents itself to me and I feel that I am busy losing it I excuse myself from the company and walk away. I ask the Lord to help me and I decide right there and then whether I want to take part in any battles which present themselves to me. I decided not to enter into, and leave the area or company.

Constant fighting is so draining and I have decided that I am not open for this kind of encounter any more. God understands my heart and I believe He will guide me and show me the way forward.

Don’t think for one minute it is easy, I promise you it isn’t and I really have to watch my mouth and actions when it comes my way.

I know that I am imperfect and I am still learning to deal with many different kinds of things but anger is my biggest problem. 

Prayer
Please help me maintain myself at all times Lord Jesus, I draw near to You in my hour of need and I am clothed with You Lord Jesus. Amen

#Dealing with #Anger




Colossians 3: 8 “But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth.”

I am telling you there are some people who know what to say and do to make one “lose it” and they get a kick out of it. Then before you know it you have been cussing and swearing. I go red in the face and want to cry with anger. Do you know what I am telling you? 

I seriously needed urgent help and I am still working on this anger situation and to make matters worse I suppress my anger and sometimes or rather most of the time I explode at time.

I have been fasting and praying about my temper and I have brought this matter in urgent prayer to the Lord. I have come to a place that I now keep quiet and I start reminding myself that the Lord Jesus Christ is in control. I start clothing myself with the Lord Jesus. I ask the Lord Jesus to assist me.

This has been a process and I am honest in saying it is taking some time. I am also getting to the place in my life that I pray about my reaction and ask God to help me.

Prayer

Heavenly Father please keep watch over my mouth, my temper my anger. I come humbly asking forgive me and help me deal with my words and my way going forward. In the holy name of the Lord Jesus Christ Amen

#Through


Isaiah 43: 2 “When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned.”

I have learned something very significant about this scripture today, and that is I need to “go through” my circumstances. It isn’t possible to walk around it, under it or even try and avoid it. I actually have to “go through” it.

Facing difficulties is something I hate but I have been thinking about this, God isn’t interested in our comfort He wants us to become more like the Lord Jesus Christ. God will deliver us but He is busy developing each of us so that we are able to reach our God-given purpose.

God reminds us that when we go through the waters, He is with us.  When we go through fire, He is with us. It shows me that we are being refined and with refinery there is pain.  Growth is taking place and we are becoming pure of heart, soul and mind.

Let’s not cry all the time but rejoice in the fact that God is with us when we go through difficult times. Praise the Lord for those times of refinery because that means we are being worked on. God loves us.

Prayer

Lord as I go through my own trials and tribulations, I want to say thank You for growing me.  I know that I am nothing without You and I want to pray help me accept the things that I cannot change.  Help me understand and draw near to You when I feel alone and afraid, in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen
