Dear Lord, instill in us forgiving spirits so that we could be forgiving one to another. Because of the wrongful acts being committed towards us, we harbor anger, resentment, we render evil for evil, we look for ways to avenge ourselves, and above all we find it so hard to forgive. Help us, dear Lord, to be mindful of the many times that we have been unlovely, that we have been unkind, that we have been unfaithful, that we have been hurtful and have grieved your holy spirit, yet, you in your mercy hear our prayers of repentance and forgives us. Let us keep this in the forefront of our minds, that if we fail to forgive men their trespasses, that, you our heavenly father will neither forgive us our trespasses.

Lord, I am believing you for great things, I am trusting you for those things that I need but don’t think I deserve, those things that I have asked for in ignorance, but you know my needs before I ask, and because I ask these things in your precious name, I will open my hands, confident, that you will fill them with good things. Thank you Lord!

Dear Lord, I have reasons to believe, to hope and to trust in you, because you have never failed me yet, and I know that you are the same God yesterday, today, and forever, your goodness faileth never, you do not change with changing years, and your promises are true. Oh, to God be the glory great things he has done!

Many of us are like David, God has blessed us so much, yet, we find time to envy those who have much less, we try to destroy them; but know that just as the Lord judged David, so too will he judge us, for as he said to David, I have given you so much and I also would have given you much more, but you despised my commandment to do evil. God caused adversity in David’s own house. My brothers and sisters in Christ, do good and resist evil, be content with the Lord’s blessings, lest he bring adversity in your own house. When you see others are being blessed around you, rejoice with them, for if you are faithful to God, his blessings will surround you like a shield, and whom God has blessed no man could curse. Praise the Lord!

There is no God like our Jehovah! He has done and continue to do so many wonderful things for us, believers and unbelievers, so that we will declare his wonders. How great is our God! Come, let us proclaim him! Let us give him all the praise and all the glory, for our God is a good God and there is no God like our God!  Begin today with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.

I am so thankful that I am daily laboring for the Lord.  Will you labor for the Lord today?

Lord, you see the need for more workers in your vineyard, there is much work to be done; many have willing minds but feeble knees, believing hearts but wavering faith, courage but no hope and the will but no way, and I know that where there is a will that you will make a way, that you will strengthen feeble knees, and increase our faith and hope in you, our good shepherd. All this we ask in your mighty name, amen.

Yes, I welcome each morning, because you are in it, and you do not come empty handed, and you open your hands and shower me with enough blessings for the day, so I will not worry, when I could pray, for my souls waits patiently for the Lord, who alone is my helper. Amen!

My brothers and sisters in Christ, the adversities we face are not meant to hurt us, but to strengthen our faith in God. The enemy will not come after us unless he recognizes our faithfulness to God, then he will try to break the hedge that the Lord has erected around us and all that we possess. He will go after our children, our relationships, our jobs, our businesses, and anything that God has blessed us with. God blessed Job because he feared him, God knew Job intimately, God knew that Job believe in him no matter what; but just like Satan tested Job, so he tests us too, to see if we were to lose all the blessings we receive from the Lord, if we will still be faithful to him. My question to you this morning is – If you were to lose all the good things you possess, will you still be faithful to God? Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice!

Lord, many of us have gone astray because we followed the wrong shepherd, we bonded with the wrong flock, our ears heard deceitful things, and because we were walking in darkness we were unable to discern good from evil. But we give you thanks and praise dear Lord, for your word that has become a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path, that we meditate on it day and night, so that we will fear your name, so that we will follow you the good shepherd, and do only what is good and right in your sight. Lord, our afflictions open our eyes to our dependency of you, when we are afflicted we have no other help but you, and this morning, we recognize how much we need you, so you have our undivided attention, so we will be still in our presence and wait for you to act.

Time is something we take for granted, time is something we don’t respect, time is something we don’t understand, especially, when waiting on God. My brothers and sisters in Christ, understand that, whatever you are facing this morning has a time limit. It did not come to stay, it came to pass; because to everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. So today, if it is your time to be sick, your time to weep, your time to speak, your time to build up, your time to plant, your time to reap or your time of war, know that this was preset, that whatever God does nothing can be added to it, or nothing taken from it, but that God does these things so that we will fear him.
