Why should we give the Lord, all the glory and praise?
Yes, our God is merciful! Gracious is the Lord and righteous! The Lord preserves the simple and for those who are bowed down he lifts up. When we called upon the name of the Lord, he inclined his ear towards us and saved us. The Lord has been mindful of us; he will bless those who fear him, those who worship him in spirit and in truth. Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; let the whole earth tremble before him, for our God is a great God! Give him all the glory and praise!
How strong is your faith in God when you go through adversity?
Many of us are quick to praise God when he blesses us with good things, but, when we are faced with adversity, we are quick to criticize and question him. But scripture reminds us to accept the good as well as the bad. There is something to be learned from every adversity we go through, therefore, if we persevere, if we do not lose heart, if we continue to trust God in all things, he will work it all out for our good.
Are you facing a situation this morning that threatens to overwhelm you?
Understand that this battle is not yours, but the Lord’s and if we place our battles in his hands, he will fight them for us, for there is no problem, situation or circumstance greater than God, so put your confidence in God and he will surely bring you through every situation, circumstance or problem that you are facing today. Believe that God will work everything out for your good.
What did you learn from your time spent in the wilderness?
My brothers and sisters in Christ, all that we have been through and are going through is a test, it is God’s way to humble us, to test us, to see whether we would serve him and to do good in the end. But, many of us learn nothing, we come through the wilderness prideful, we continue to do wrong things, but, we need to understand this, that as a man chastens his son, so will God chasten us, who forget his goodness, who are not humbled enough to serve him, and no good will come to us in the end. Let us therefore, turn away from our selfish ways, return to the Lord, and live!
What shall I render unto the Lord, for all his benefits toward me?
Lord, I will recommit my life to you and pray for your forgiveness. I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon your name; for thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before you O Lord in the land of the living. I was brought low, and you helped me, you have dealt bountifully with me, therefore my soul shall rest in thee. Please forgive me dear Lord, and grant me a fresh start. Amen!
Are you ashamed to tell the world that Jesus saved you and that he could save them too?
We should never be ashamed to tell our story, of how Jesus saved us from the deadly power of sin. If we never tell our story, how will others know, that the blood of Jesus, made us white as snow? Lord, I am telling the whole wide world, that you guided my footsteps in the right, and moved me out of darkness and into light. Thank you, Lord!
God has forgiven you, why have you not forgiven yourself?
Are you guilty of your sins, or more your unfaithfulness to God? My brothers and sisters in Christ, know that God is merciful and just as he has forgiven you, he would love for you to forgive yourselves; because it is in forgiveness that we find liberty, it is in forgiveness that we gain the victory over sin and when we are free from the burden of sin, we could turn our focus on God and faithfully trust him for everything.
Are you willing to take the way out that the Lord has provided for you?
“No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone, God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure.” Will you take it or will you give in to your evil desires?
Will you return to the Lord and ask him to forgive you of your sins?
My brothers and sisters in Christ, “If we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us, but, if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just and will forgive us from all unrighteousness.” Therefore, return to the Lord and say these things to him; “Forgive all our sins and kindly receives us.”
I am on a mission the win souls for God. How about you?
With God’s help, I am daily working to win more souls for his kingdom. As God enables me, I will continue on to share his gospel, to preach it to those who do not know it, to those who have not yet to come to know God in the most intimate way, or those who are rebellious, lost, or can’t find their way. May God continue to strengthen my weak areas, so that I may be strengthened to help the fallen to stand up for Jesus. Thank you, Lord!
