God Works in us for His good pleasure

For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure.
PHILIPPIANS 2:13 AMP

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

Thanks be to God that He works in the lives of those who have surrendered their lives to Him.

Once our lives are in God’s hands, He takes charge and is very interested in what we do. It means that Christ empowers you to deliver and your will is influenced by Him. If your will is influenced by the Most High God, your steps become godly directed.

May we recognise the place of God in our lives, may God be the director of our lives, may we be sensitive to the direction and promptings of God. May His strength be made perfect in us in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Love your Enemies and do Good to them for your reward will be great

But love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; for your reward will be great (rich, abundant), and you will be sons of the Most High; because He Himself is kind and gracious and good to the ungrateful and the wicked.
LUKE 6:35 AMP

Praise God for the blessings of a brand new day, let us rejoice and be glad in it.

God is Love! Beloved, let us love one another for Love is of God. Today’s scripture says that we should love our enemies and do good to them. It further explains that we should seek their interest and good too. It is not easy to do humanly speaking but the Bible says we should do it! Great Grace abounds.

We are urged not only to love our enemies but to do good to them, that is care for them, provide their needs and be interested in what protects and also promotes their lives. In all these, expect nothing in return!

Why do we have to go through such a tough time loving our enemies? It is because God who has called us has asked that we do so and He has already set an example for us to follow.

May greater grace abound in our lives to be able to love everyone whether they love or hate us. May God’s Word be manifest in our lives in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Encourage others to Love and Do Good

and let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds,
HEBREWS 10:24 AMP

Glory, Praise and honour be unto God for this beautiful day. May the joy of the Lord be with us throughout this beautiful day.

We are created in the image of God to do good works. Jesus Christ said we shall do greater works! We therefore honour God for any opportunity to fulfil scripture.

Today’s Word says we should encourage one another to Love and Do Good! This is a summary of the life of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Let us therefore practice this firstly ourselves and therefore encourage others to do likewise.

We cannot preach what we are not! Apostle Paul said “imitate me as I imitate Christ”, we should therefore let our lives encourage those around us to live Christlike lives.

May the Lord help us to live according to the Word of God by doing good to others and being an example for many to emulate same. Help us Lord to do good deeds to all people in Jesus Mighty name.Amen.
