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
Hallelujah! Praise, 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 needs 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.

Fresh
Fresh Start with Jesus Christ
Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 AMP
Glory and honour be unto God for this last day of the year 2024. Indeed His grace and mercies have brought us this far.
We are thankful unto God for the provision in today’s scripture, Christ Jesus refreshes us, when you come to Him,you are adorned and beautified spiritually and physically.
Once the heart believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the mouth confesses, there is the translation from the Kingdom of darkness into God’s marvellous Kingdom and the Holy Spirit takes over.
A new person who is guided and directed by the Holy Spirit is birthed spiritually. All the old things now give way to a new life in Christ Jesus!.Enjoy the newness of God in your life today and in the new year.
May this be your testimony, that your life has become brand new in Christ Jesus, to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour on this last day of the year is even more symbolic as it gives you a fresh start in 2025.
May the Great Grace of God abound and see us through this last day of 2024 and guide us throughout a more fruitful 2025. Remain blessed in Christ Jesus as we start afresh with Jesus. Amen.

Fresh and New Things are unfolding
but just as it is written [in Scripture], “Things which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard , And which have not entered the heart of man ,
All that God has prepared for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, who obey Him, and who gratefully recognize the benefits that He has bestowed].”
1 CORINTHIANS 2:9 AMP
Glory and honour be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.
Our God is an awesome God, the creator of the universe. He did create out of nothing, He’s a specialist in creating new and fresh things.
Praise be to God for this scripture which is ushering us into a world of fresh things from above.
As we focus on God and His Word, as we live according to His Word and love Him, the bible is saying Fresh Supplies are coming our way. Not the things that we know of that are being supplied oooo. It is not a replenishment of our milk and sugar that are finished ooooo.
Fresh things are coming our way! Things we have not seen with our eyes before, we have not heard about them before and it has not entered our hearts before. These are the things that the Lord is giving to those who continually obey His Word and live according to the word.
May you be a beneficiary of the fresh supplies from God’s throne room May your eyes see that new thing, may your ears hear that fresh news and may your heart be gladden with that special news in Jesus Mighty name . Shalom.
