Seek the Lord

Seek the Lord [search diligently for Him and regard Him as the foremost necessity of your life], All you humble of the land Who have practiced His ordinances and have kept His commandments; Seek righteousness, seek humility [regard them as vital]. Perhaps you will be hidden [and pardoned and rescued] In the day of the Lord ’ s anger.
ZEPHANIAH 2:3 AMP

Glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Seek the Lord in all things and at all times. The Lord Jesus Christ is our Lord and Saviour and therefore we must seek Him in all situations. In every step of the way the Lord be magnified in our lives.

Come to the realisation that without the Lord in your life, your affairs become disjointed and without form, confusion can take over. The Lord brings stability and calmness in to our lives.

Let’s continue to humble ourselves, observe His commandments and seek His righteousness. This prepares us for the day of the Lord.

May we be ready for the coming of the Lord, may our lamps be well oiled and lit on the Lord’s coming. Remain blessed greatly as we continue to seek the Most High God and make Him our dwelling in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Childlike Humility will make you the greatest in Heaven

and said, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless you repent [that is, change your inner self–your old way of thinking, live changed lives] and become like children [trusting, humble, and forgiving], you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives and welcomes one child like this in My name receives Me;

MATTHEW 18:3‭-‬5 AMP

Glory and honour be unto God for this beautiful day, let’s celebrate His goodness today.

God’s Kingdom is ready to receive us all. The prerequisites however call for complete repentance on our part. We need to fully surrender our lives to Jesus Christ and trust Him completely. Trust Him like a child who puts his or her trust in the parents to deliver a gift.

The scriptures say that as we humble ourselves like the child, trusting and believing fully, we gain the recognition as among the greatest in the Kingdom of God.

May we remain humble before the Lord, acknowledging His greatness and giving our all to Him. May we enjoy His Kingdom benefits right on earth here before His coming. Enjoy greater grace. Amen.

The Earth and all its dwellings belong to God

The earth is the Lord’s , and the fullness of it, The world, and those who dwell in it.
PSALMS 24:1 AMP

We praise God for the blessings of a brand new day, may we encounter His presence continually.

King David continued to acknowledge the greatness of the Lord following His famous praise “The Lord is my shepherd”.

In this verse King David makes a definite statement for all to know that the Lord is the alpha and omega. No one compares to Him.

The earth is the Lord’s, yes He created the earth by the Word of His mouth, there is therefore no controversy over the owner. It is not only the earth but everything that dwell in and on the earth.

What do we have that we did not receive? We join King David to honour the Lord by ascribing all adoration unto Him for His awesome creations. We submit all our innermost being to your service and say have your way Most High God.

May we continue to abide in your presence and enjoy the goodness of the Lord. Reign in your majesty our great God.May we remain good stewards of the Lord as we take care of the earth. Have a blessed day. Amen

Hosanna!Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord

they took branches of palm trees [in homage to Him as King] and went out to meet Him, and they began shouting and kept shouting “Hosanna! Blessed (celebrated, praised) is He who comes in the name of the Lord , even the King of Israel!”

JOHN 12:13 AMP

Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!

As we commemorate the Triumphant Entry of our Lord Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, it is symbolic to the Christian because it was the 1st step to our abundant life in Christ Jesus.

Jesus had to go through this process so that He will pave the way for eternal life through Christ Jesus to all those who will believe and confess Him as Lord and Saviour.

Rejoice and let’s celebrate the triumphal entry today to acknowledge victory in Christ Jesus and invite others to join this blessed family.

May the waving of palm branches throughout the world today be a magnet to draw many to Christ. May we be victorious on all fronts in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Do not pay evil with evil but Do Good to ALL

See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek that which is good for one another and for all people.
1 THESSALONIANS 5:15 AMP

Thank you Lord for granting us another blessed day. Be exalted and glorified now and forever more.

Apostle Paul charged the Church at Thessalonica to treat one another kindly and in love. In his ministry he once told the people of God that they should emulate him as emulates Christ.

This is certainly one of the patterns of Christ that we need to emulate. Even on the cross, Jesus was forgiving those who were mocking Him. He did not allow Peter to physically fight for Him when He was arrested but rather showed love by fixing the ear that was cut off back.

The standard is therefore set for us to follow since we have taken after His name! The Holy Spirit that dwells in us is our Helper, we cannot do this on our own. As human beings we tend to take stock of wrongs people have done to us.

The charge today is that do not pay back the evil others have done to you but pay back with love.

Help us Lord Jesus to love and do good to all people irrespective of what we may have gone through. Holy Spirit lead us and strengthen us to do your will in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

The Efficacy of God’s Word: It shall accomplish its Purpose and yield results

So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me void (useless, without result), Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
ISAIAH 55:11 AMP

Praise and glory be to His name alone for great are His works. Rejoice and celebrate His goodness today.

Thanks be to God that His Word is ye and amen. What He has said in His Word, He will accomplish.

The day’s scripture says that the Word spoken by the Lord shall not return to Him void, that is without accomplishing anything. That is the Word of God shall be of no effect? That is not possible!

The Word of God has creative power and abilities, right from the creation of the universe God used His Word to create, design and decorate the universe.

The Word of God has been tested and proved to be greatly effective over the years, therefore as people created by God in His own image and empowered to have dominion, we should use the Word of God to create what we desire to see. Speak the Word and believe that it shall be accomplished in Jesus Mighty name.

May the Word of the Lord stay with you throughout your life and May its creative power design your life according to your declarations. Remain covered by the blood of Jesus Christ and blessed by the Lord.

Come to Jesus the Burden lifter and receive Rest

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation].
MATTHEW 11:28 AMP

Praise God for the blessings of a brand new day, celebrate His goodness today.

God the Father gave His only begotten son to die to set us free from sin and death so Jesus is ever ready to do anything that will set us free.

In today’s scripture He is ready to free us from any burdens and entanglements that will prevent us from continuously loving and serving God.

Jesus Christ is ready to lift that burden off our heads so we don’t break our necks! We look very weary trying to solve issues on our own but we have the Saviour of the world who has our back and is a “burden lifter”. All that we need to do is to come to Him and surrender our lives to Him.

Jesus Christ is ready to give us a refreshing life once we acknowledge His Lordship and come to Him. May every load, burdens and any form of weariness be lifted as we present them to Jesus Christ. Amen.

For God so loved the world…

“For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life.
JOHN 3:16 AMP

Praise the Lord for this beautiful day, the beginning of a brand new month, may the joy of the Lord be with you throughout the day.

The Love of God is indescribable and significantly huge! The Love that covers the entire universe, everyone is free to tap into it.

God created man in His own image and desires that all will come to dwell with Him in Heaven when the final trumpet sounds. He has therefore out of His infinite LOVE given us His only begotten son to die to save us from Sin and grant unto us eternal inheritance and life.

This amazing offer is therefore available to anyone who will believe and trust in the Son of God. It calls for believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Saviour.

May we not miss our salvation, may we uphold Jesus Christ in our hearts and minds and serve Him in joy till the coming of the Lord. Remain blessed in Christ Jesus for you are greatly loved. Amen.

The Message of the Cross is foolishness to some but to others the manifestation of the Power of God….

For the message of the cross is foolishness [absurd and illogical] to those who are perishing and spiritually dead [because they reject it], but to us who are being saved [by God’s grace] it is [the manifestation of] the power of God.
1 CORINTHIANS 1:18 AMP

Glory, honour and adoration be unto God for this beautiful day and the end of the 1st quarter of this year. Hallelujah!

The message of the Cross is that because of the Love of God the Father, Christ Jesus died to save us from Sin and death, to give us eternal life. This is the simple message, that if you accept Him you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Today’s scripture says that this message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, those whose minds and hearts have been darkened by the enemy, because they are spiritually dead, they reject the salvation message. We need to intercede that the eyes of understanding of these ones be enlightened so that they will acknowledge the benefits of the message of the Cross.

To the saved by grace, the message of the Cross is the manifestation of the Power of God. May this power permeate all spheres of our lives as we seek to bring in the lost to enjoy this power of God.

Father we lift up all those who have forsaken the message of the Cross today and ask for your miraculous in their lives, that they will accept the Power of God that comes from Salvation. May your Holy name be praised now and forever more in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Humble yourself, Pray and Seek God and turn from our wicked ways

and My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land.
2 CHRONICLES 7:14 AMP

Thank God for the blessings of a brand new day and the opportunity to call upon His name.

This morning the scriptures are reminding us of the place of God in our lives. We are incomplete and hollow without Him. We need God to make our lives and everything about us to work.

It starts with us humbling ourselves and recognizing that there is a God who owns and has control over the universe. We therefore need to follow the the simple steps outlined in scripture.

Humble yourself, that is the admission that we are nothing without God. Pray, this acknowledges that there’s a Supreme Being who has unlimited power to do all things. Seek God’s face, is re-emphasizing the fact God is the one who holds answers to our prayers because He has the whole world in His hands. Turn from the wicked ways, God loves the sinner but hates sin so we need to repent from our sins to get Him to act on our behalf.

God forgives and hears us when we go through the above, He steps in to heal or restore any situation that we present to Him genuinely.

May we receive the cleansing of the Lord and restoration in all of life including our land and nation🙏🏾🙏🏾and the world as a whole🙏🙏. The Lord be our strength and portion in Jesus Mighty name!Amen.

Pressured but not Crushed, Struck Down but not Destroyed

But we have this precious treasure [the good news about salvation] in [unworthy] earthen vessels [of human frailty], so that the grandeur and surpassing greatness of the power will be [shown to be] from God [His sufficiency] and not from ourselves. We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;
2 CORINTHIANS 4:7‭-‬9 AMP

Blessed be the name of the Lord for this beautiful day, glory and honour be unto His holy name.

Thanks be to God for the great news, the salvation of souls that we have, a demonstration and acknowledgement of the greatness and excellency of God. It is God’s Power that is at work within us.

It is this power of God at work in us that enables us to stay through troubles that come to us on all fronts but we are not distressed. We get perplexed but not driven to despair because the God we have makes the difference.

Thanks be to God for His presence, the power of the Holy Spirit at work in us, in times that we get hunted down or persecuted but we are not left alone. God does not forsake or desert us. We shall continue to boast in the Lord because He is the one who is able to pull us through periods when we are cast down or struck down, moments when we feel all hope is gone or lost. God shows up and because of that we don’t get crushed or destroyed!

Let’s continue to abide in Him and make Him our all in all, for He is the only one who is able to weather all storms for us. May the name of the Lord be blessed now and forever more in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Love rejoices not at injustice but with the Truth

It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail].
1 CORINTHIANS 13:6 AMP

Praise God for the blessings of a brand new day. May the joy of the Lord be with you throughout your day.

Love abides forever and it underlines all that we do in life. Anything we do without Love is like sounding clanging cymbals and noisy gong gong! Love always seeks the interest of others.

Today’s scripture says that Love does not rejoice at injustice! Why should love enjoy injustice when its foundation is seeking the interest and betterment of all. God is Love! God is a God of Justice so how can He rejoice at injustice?

Love rejoices at the Truth! That is what God is interested in. The truth the bible says will set us free, therefore it is not strange for Love and truth to be intertwined. The foundation of all our freedom is God’s love and it is that truth that brings the freedom.

Love abides, Love remains, Love is the greatest of all, Love rejoices at the Truth, let us therefore Love God and Love the Truth.

May we be joined in the hip with truth, may truth be tied around our necks, may we be God’s instruments of Love carrying His truth to the generations. May God help us to accomplish His purposes in Jesus Mighty name. Amen
