When God saved us by His grace, He had a plan and a purpose for our lives. He predestined good things for us, but many of us got saved and stayed saved. We refuse to go where God sends us, we are afraid to step out in faith, and some of us still continue to walk backwards to where we once were, conducting ourselves in the lust of the flesh and fulfilling the desires of the mind. It’s time to walk in the way God intended for you to walk. Stop acting as children of wrath, and act as children who have been redeemed by the precious blood of the Lamb, and walk in the path God prepared for you to walk in. Praise the Lord!

My brothers and sisters in Christ, we cannot fall asleep doing the work of the Lord, we must be watchful, we must be always clothed with the armor of God, we must be wise; for the enemy is looking for strongholds in our lives, strongholds that will discourage us from planting good seeds in God’s vineyard, and therefore not reap a bountiful harvest for God. Praise the Lord!

We should not offer the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving just from our lips, but the praises should come from a repentant and grateful heart. When we come honestly before God and acknowledge our wretchedness, God in his mercy will hear us and forgive us from all unrighteousness. Thank you, Lord!

If corrupt men try to entice you to serve foreign gods, rebuke them in the name of Jesus, tell them that you will serve God and only him you will serve. Tell them that you will only do what God commands you to do today, to do what is right in his sight, so that none of the accursed things shall remain in your hand, for the Lord will turn from the fierceness of his anger and show mercy, have compassion on you and multiply you. Praise the Lord!

The Lord will judge every man according to his deeds, no good deed will go unpunished. Be sure of this, the wicked will not go unpunished, but the righteous will go free.  The only benefit we will reap from sin is shame. Walk in the ways of the Lord!

When we pray for our children, we must individually call them by name. We should daily lift them up before God who is able to direct and control them, our God who is able to provide good things for them. Pray for them that God will bless them with hearts to praise him, to honor him, from whence all good things do come. Our children are blessings from the Lord. Remember to thank him.

God’s will is not for us to perish, but to have everlasting life. He has already paid our sins debt in full, he has purchased our pardon and he just bids us come. He said, “Come on to me all ye who travail and are heavy laden, I will refresh you.” God is waiting to give you a new start. Won’t you come?

There are many things that will cause us to fear in this troubled world, but fear not, for God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble, though the waters are deep they will not cover us, though the fire is raging, we will not be burned, for the Lord will be to us a shield. Trust the Lord with all your heart, and soul and mind and strength. He is able.

Blessed is he who know the joyful sound of the Lord, they walk in the light of his countenance. Lord, you have blessed us with your peace, make your face shine upon us, let us declare your righteousness which is like the noonday and rejoice in you all the day long. Amen!

My brothers and sisters in Christ, God has a plan for your life and mine. If we have the faith, the hope is ours, if we have the hope, the light is ours and if the light is ours, no more will we walk in darkness, but in God’s marvelous light, to behold his glorious inheritance and the immeasurable greatness of his power because we believe. Praise the Lord!
