How to become spiritually successful [Christ Jesus]

Joshua 1:8 Modern English Version (MEV)

⁸ This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth. Meditate on it day and night so that you may act carefully according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way successful, and you will be wise. 

Back to basics:  as Christians we want to know how to become successful, how to grow spiritually and how to stay connected to the Lord Jesus.

The Lord died on the cross for our sins, arose on the 3^rd day and now sits next the God on His right hand.  Before the Lord Jesus left this earth He promised to send us the “comforter” the Holy Spirit.  Because we have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us, the word is revealed to each one of us.

All we need to do is to actually read study and meditate on the Word day and night.   

My challenge to you; today is that we have become too familiar with the Word and think we know so much.  It is my hope and prayer that the Words in the above verse will stick to your hearts today.  

Make a note of it; think on it day and night.  Get focused and see how the Holy Spirit turns your life around.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, it is by grace that we are able to speak to You, Lord please reveal these truths that are right in front of us and teach each one of us to meditate on Your Word and study it night and day.  Holy Spirit renew our minds in Jesus name, Amen

Lord Jesus, please heal my brokenness

Psalm 34:18The Message (MSG)

¹⁸ If your heart is broken, you’ll find God right there;
if you’re kicked in the gut, he’ll help you catch your breath.

Each of us have a different story to tell, you may be facing a difficult time right now, finances, work issues, family issues and then you wonder why me?  The Lord is faithful and just and He will heal your broken heart.  

I told someone a long time again that should they remove my heart from my chest it would be full of holes, you would be able to look right through my heart.  Be careful not to embrace your brokenness it will turn into bitterness and resentment.  

If you feel that you just cannot get over some brokenness in your life today, let’s pray a little prayer.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Lord please reveal Jesus to me today, heal my broken heart and help me get my life back on track.  You know the brokenness in my life; forgive me for embracing this pain help me to focus on You.  In Jesus Name, amen.

# 2 favourite scriptures confirming; who really loves you? [Christ Jesus]

John 3:16Living Bible (TLB)

¹⁶ For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 

Romans 5:8Living Bible (TLB)

⁸ But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. 

Who really loves you?  God really loves you and me, why?  Well thinking about the fact that God gave His only begotten Son to die on a cross for both you and my sins.  I wonder if we really can comprehend the true meaning of God’s love for us.

The Greatest love being shown to us through the death of God’s Son Jesus Christ while we were still sinners.  How awesome is that, we cannot begin to understand God’s thinking.  We do know that God really truly love us.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving each one of us before we even thought of loving You.  Thank You that we have the Lord Jesus Christ who can stand in the gap for us.  Thank You Lord for watching over each one of us today.  Amen

# Discovering the Secret to Isaac’s blessing?

Genesis 26:12 Living Bible (TLB)

¹² That year Isaac’s crops were tremendous—100 times the grain he sowed. For Jehovah blessed him.

As I read Genesis 26 I have noticed that God spoke to Isaac and instructed him not to go down to Egypt but to stay in the city of Gerar where Abimeleck was the king of the Philistines.

# Promise:   Did you notice that God made a promise to Isaac?  Where in Genesis 26: 3 ‘Do as I say and stay here in this land.  If you do, I will be with you and bless you, and I will give all this land to you and to your descendant, just as I promised Abraham your father.’

# Promise:  God also promised more verse 4 ‘And I will cause your descendants to become to as numerous as the stars!  And I will give them all of these lands; and they shall be a blessing to all the nations of the earth.’

# WHY?  Why would God this for Isaac?  Verse 5 ‘I will do this because Abraham obeyed my commandments and laws.’

Oops! Isaac told a white lie, referring to Rebekah as his sister to king Abimelech, and the king spotted Isaac and Rebekah making love.  Calling Isaac and confronting him about the matter Isaac said he was afraid that the king might have killed him for Rebekah.  Then king Abimelech mad a public proclamation:  ‘Anyone harming this man or his wife shall die.’

# Blessings In the drought Isaac’s crops were tremendous 100 time the grain he sowed.  For the LORD GOD blessed him.  Very soon Isaac became a man of great wealth and richer and richer.  What an awesome testimony for Isaac, obedience for God ~ blessings for you!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank YOU LORD God, please Lord teach us to always obey YOU and help us to listen for Your instructions today.  Bless each person with these words in Jesus Name.  Amen
