                 BEHOLD MY SERVANT
MEMORY VERSE: - Mt 12:18 behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles.
BIBLE READING: - Mt 12: 18 – 21
                            MESSAGE
God through prophet Isaiah says “behold my servant ………….” referring to our Lord Jesus Christ. He said he had chosen him, he was pleased with him. He is the way, the truth and the life without which we cannot see God. If we ever want to please God then we have to set Christ before us as our role model in every circumstance of life. We must strive to become like him in deeds and in conversation. He said in the scriptures that it is sufficient for the followers to be like their master.
When Pharisees provoked him to anger, he corrected and rebuked them in love and that ends it, no animosity, no clamor, and no malice against them. He did not lose his peace and did not call down fire to consume them.
He only withdrew himself from them and continues his ministerial assignment. In like manner, let no man weakens your zeal for the master, whatever they do, continue to do God’s will passionately and zealously for you will only be remembered by what you have done for the Lord.
Behold Jesus in holiness and in righteousness. Aspire to be like him, he is perfect, sinless and blameless and God was pleased with him. Anybody in Christ Jesus must be a new creature (old things of lying, stealing, and cheating, womanizing, drunkenness, reveling etc.)are passed away, behold all things are become new. 2Co 5:17
Behold Jesus and you will see him being filled with the spirit of God who went about doing good because the spirit of God was poured upon him without measure. Those that are dinning and winning with the devil are possessed by the spirit of the devil, so must Christians be filled with the spirit of God to dispel powers of darkness. If you mingle carelessly with worldly people who do not have the word and the power of God, you become diluted, polluted, weak and powerless Christian. This contradicts the plan of God for you. Know the word like Christ, let his word dwell in you richly and you will be powerful. Where the word of the king is there will be power.
Jesus is mine in the morning, in the noon time; he is mine when the sun goes down. He is mine in season and without season, he is mine at home and abroad; he is mine when the going is well or when it is tough; he is mine all the time. I have set him before me now and forever more. What about you? Let us follow him to the end. He will definitely lead us to the heavenly father and we shall forever rest in the peace of God.
Confession of the Day
Oh! to be like thee blessed redeemer in holiness and righteousness all the days of my life. You are mine now and forever more.

THURSDAY APRIL 19 TH , 2018 Words of Life Daily Devotional SO SHALL YE PROSPER MEMORY VERSE: - 2Ch 20:20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. BIBLE READING: - Psalm 1: 1 – 6 MESSAGE Jehoshaphat, king of Judah had the right attitude during troublous times; when the Moabites, Amorites and Mount Seir come against Judah to battle, he set himself to seek help from God and he proclaimed prayer and fasting. While they were in the presence of God with their little ones, the word of prophecy came: 2Ch 20:17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you...

Guard Your Heart

28 December 2020 Proverbs  4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Guard Your Heart Proverbs 4:21 says, “Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.” You are to keep God’s Word in your heart. Then Proverbs 4:23 tells you to keep or guard your heart. How do you do that? By keeping the Word in your heart! How are you going to keep God’s Word in your heart? By meditating on God’s Word continually. In other words, think deeply about it until it becomes a part of your inner conscience. Don’t just memorize scriptures and forget them. You can memorize scriptures and say them by rote, and they won’t mean a thing in the world to you. Those verses are just in your mind. But, no, think on them until they get down into your heart. Feed on them. It will take a little time to do that. But, eventually, the scriptures will register on your heart. God’s words are life unto you and health, or medicine, to all your flesh. I don’t k...

OUR DEPENDABLE GOD

DAILY MANNA  SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2018 OUR DEPENDABLE GOD TEXT: JOSHUA 10:12-27 KEY VERSE: “And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel” (Joshua 10:14) MESSAGE Five kings entered into a league to destroy Gibeon. Adonizedek, king of Jerusalem, cried unto the kings of Amorites, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon for help. The people of Gibeon got wind of the plot against the city and sent words to Joshua to come to their rescue. Gibeon was able to secure the assistance of Israel because it had earlier made peace with it. Joshua dispatched men of war to prevent Gibeon from being overrun by the five kings led by Adonizedek. Israel conquered enemies of Israel so severely that the five kings not only took to their heels but also hid themselves in a cave. Two special miracles took place in this war: one, God fought on the side of His people. Two, nature took side with Israel unt...
