Love abundantly and live a pure and blameless life

And this I pray, that your love may abound more and more [displaying itself in greater depth] in real knowledge and in practical insight, so that you may learn to recognize and treasure what is excellent [identifying the best, and distinguishing moral differences], and that you may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ [actually living lives that lead others away from sin];
Philippians 1:9‭-‬10 AMP

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

Today’s scripture is a prayer by Apostle Paul for the church in Philippi. I believe that the church of today also need this kind of Prayer and action.

That we will abound in the love of God and be unified. That we will love because of our greater insight and understanding in the things of God. That our love will not be based on feelings but on real knowledge and practical insight into the things of God.

The scriptures also urge us to live a morally upright life so that our lives will be examples to draw others to Christ. A pure and blameless life to attract others to follow Jesus Christ.

May the Lord help us to love one another with understanding and the knowledge of Christ. May our lives be pure and blameless so that it will attract others to follow Jesus Christ. Grant us this grace O Lord. Amen.

Honour your Father and Mother so that it will be well with you and you will live long

“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”
Ephesians 6:2‭-‬3 NKJV

Praise, glory and honour be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Honour thy Father and Mother so that you can tap into the blessings God has in stock for you. This scripture has its roots in Exodus 20:12 where God gave the 10 commandments to Moses.

Let’s give reverence and be respectful to our fathers and mothers as the scripture urges us. Let’s keep esteeming them and holding them in the highest honour we can so the Word of God will be fulfilled in our lives.

The verse 3 of this chapter adds that after honouring our parents, we receive God’s blessings and long life too. That it will be well with us and live long here on earth.

May the Lord bless us mightily on all fronts as we honour both our physical and spiritual Fathers and Mothers. May we enjoy greater grace and the blessings of longevity that come from honouring our parents. Amen.

I am Crucified with Christ, Christ lives in me now

I have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
GALATIANS 2:20 AMP

Praise be to God for the blessings of a brand new day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Today we join Apostle Paul to confess that we have been crucified with Christ. Our lives have been sold out to Him. It is in Him we live and move and have our being.

Live your life completely by faith relying on the Lord Jesus Christ, absolutely trusting Him and adhering to the Word of God.

Identify with Jesus Christ wherever you find yourself, not being ashamed of the Gospel because It is the Power of God unto Salvation.

May the power of the resurrection that follows the crucifixion of Jesus Christ be availed unto us for greater works as we focus on our walk with Christ Jesus in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

God is doing a New Thing in our lives

“Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert.
ISAIAH 43:19 AMP

Glory be to God for this beautiful day He has blessed us with. We bless God for the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Our Lord God is Mighty and worthy to be praised. His power and might knows no boundaries. This is the great God we serve, His name is I am that I am.

Today the Lord says He is going to do a new thing in our lives. A new thing that we have not seen, heard about or felt before. Prepare yourself to receive from the Lord, He says it will spring forth speedily. Position yourself for God’s visitation.

Forget the former things and past year and be ready for the miracles of God that are coming your way, a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, substitute them for your expectations and trust God for them. They will surely spring forth speedily. This scripture gives us the assurance that there is nothing impossible for our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

May that new thing which seems impossible spring forth speedily in Jesus Mighty name. May you experience “your roads in the wilderness and rivers in the desert ” in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

My Redeemer Lives

“For I know that my Redeemer and Vindicator lives, And at the last He will take His stand upon the earth.
JOB 19:25 AMP

Glory be to God for this beautiful day, the last day of the year 2022, let us take this opportunity to rejoice and be glad for God has been good to us.

Yes my redeemer lives, what about yours? Job encountered some very terrible and difficult moments in his life when everyone had abandoned him and they did not value him.

The challenges had overwhelmed Job but he had a God he was still looking forward to. As we encounter challenges and some difficult moments in life let us remember that we have a God who is able to do all things and turn all situations around.

Job refused to curse God when he was advised to do so by his wife, he kept Faith alive in the Lord and held on to his faith. He believed that his Redeemer Lives and would come through for him. Let us therefore learn from Job that our redeemer lives and we shall be fine. Whatever situation we may find ourselves now cannot be compared to the suffering Job encountered. 2022 has been a tough year economically but God has kept us and brought us this far by grace and today is the last day of the year, hallelujah!

May the Lord our God come through for us His children no matter what challenge we are encountering. May the Lord our Redeemer who lives forever lighten up any dark situation we find ourselves in and deliver us from any snare of the enemy. May His grace be sufficient for us so we don’t give up on God. Help us Lord in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

The Righteous live by Faith

For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed in a way that awakens more faith]. As it is written and forever remains written, “The just and upright shall live by faith.”
Romans 1:17 AMP

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

The gospel is the righteousness of God and therefore as followers of Jesus Christ who is an embodiment of the Gospel, we cannot but pursue righteousness.

The child of God must therefore live right with God, our salvation package comes along with righteousness and we cannot opt out else we lose our right standing with Christ.

Living right with God takes its source from our Faith in the Most High God. God receives us as righteous because of our Faith in Him. Certainly the righteous and just live by Faith.

May we encounter the righteousness of God revealed by the Gospel. May we be saved by God and live a righteous life by Faith. May we not depart from absolute Faith in the Most High God. Amen

Imitate God,Live a life of Love

Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; and walk continually in love [that is, value one another–practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance.
EPHESIANS 5:1‭-‬2 AMP

Praise, Glory and honour be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it. Our God is Supreme and worthy to be praised. He has gifted us with life and we are grateful.

Today’s scripture is requesting of us to imitate God. This is a challenge meant to shape our lives and enable us to live Christ centred lives. Copy the Father and follow His example.

Imitating the Heavenly Father who out of Love gave His only begotten son to die to save the world, requires a big heart. We are being called upon to demonstrate this love to one another practically. Love gives, so just as the Father gave His only begotten son, we should be able to sacrifice for others.

We should seek the interest of others as we imitate the Father. The death of Jesus Christ on the Cross to save ALL gives us another example of sacrifice and love that is expected of us. May the Lord help us in Jesus name.

May the Lord help us to seek the best for others as we imitate Him. Help us Lord to walk continually in love so that we can abide by the scriptures. Be our guide in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

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

Today’s scripture is a prayer by Apostle Paul for the church in Philippi. I believe that we as the church today also need this king of Prayer and action.

That we will abound in the love of God and be unified. That we will love because of our greater insight and understanding in the things of God. That our love will not be based on feelings but on real knowledge and practical insight into the things of God.

Live in the Light for God is Light

but if we [really] walk in the Light [that is, live each and every day in conformity with the precepts of God], as He Himself is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another [He with us, and we with Him], and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin [by erasing the stain of sin, keeping us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations].
1 JOHN 1:7 AMP

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

The scripture says that as we walk and live in the Light as God himself is in the Light, we have a true fellowship with Him. The life we live should be in conformance with the Word of God. That should be our daily life.

As we live in the light we should be ready for many accusations and “pull him down” situations as people will want to bring up our past lives just to discourage us. We need to focus on being on that lamp stand to shine. If we fall, we need to rise again and shine for Jesus.

The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us as we live with Him in the Light, we are cleansed from sin and its manifestations and made whole by the blood.

May we walk continually in the Light with the Father of Light. May our lives be cleansed and purified with the blood of Jesus Christ. May our fellowship with the Lord remain ever fresh till His coming in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

Live by the Spirit,Walk by the Spirit

If we [claim to] live by the [Holy] Spirit, we must also walk by the Spirit [with personal integrity, godly character, and moral courage–our conduct empowered by the Holy Spirit].
GALATIANS 5:25 AMP

Glory and honour be to our Lord and Master for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

The charge by Apostle Paul in the whole of Galatians 5 is for the children of God to live by the Spirit of God. This is what is expected of every believer, to live and manifest the fruits of the Spirit.

A life not lived in the Spirit will be lived by the flesh and controlled by the desires of the flesh which produces ungodly fruits as listed in Galatians 5:19-21.

Today’s scripture therefore sums it up for us that if we have chosen to be children of God then let’s walk by the Spirit of God and show forth the fruits of integrity, godly character, moral courage, gentleness, kindness,goodness etc

May we live in the Spirit and walk in the Spirit to show forth the power and glory of God. May the Lord enable us to bear the fruits of the Spirit that will draw others to follow Jesus Christ in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen
