Gen 5:
22-And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
23: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
24: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
Enoch
“translated that he should not see death” (Heb11:5By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.) before the
judgment of the flood is a type of those saints who are to translated
before the apocalyptic judgments ( 1 Thes4:14-For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15: For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16: For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.) Noah left on earth,
but preserved through the judgment of the flood, is a type of the
Jewish people, who will be kept through the apocalyptic judgments (
Jer 30:5-9For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
6: Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
7: Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
8: For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
9: But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them. , Rev 12:13-And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14: And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15: And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16: And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.) and brought as an earthly people to the
new heaven and new earth (Isa 65:17-For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
18: But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19: And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.,66:20-And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
21: And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD.
22: For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain., Rev 25:1)


Rev 1:8
Fire Essentially a symbol of God’s holiness. As such it expresses
God in three ways
In
judgment upon that which his holiness utterly condemns (e.g. Gen
19: 24, Mk 9: 43-48, Rev 20:15)
In
the manifestation of Himself and of that which He approves (eg 3:1,
1st peter 1:7, Ex
13:11)

In
purification (eg 1st
Cor 3:12-14, Mal 3:2,3).So in Leviticus, the fire which only
manifests the sweet savour of the burnt, meal, and peace offerings,
wholly consumes the sin offering: in this context the fires
expresses also the undying devotedness of Christ.



God had
a purpose in giving these command. He was starting from scratch,
teaching His people a whole new system of government, restoring true
worship of Himself, and cleansing them from the many heathen
practices they had learned in Egypt. The strict details kept Israel
from slipping back in to their old lifestyle. In addition, each new
paints a graphic, orderly picture of the seriousness of sin and of
God’s great mercy in forgiving sinners.


The
Holy fire on the alter had to keep burning because God had started
it. This represented God’s eternal presence in the sacrificial
system. It showed the people that only by God are gracious favor
could man’s sacrifice be acceptable. God’s fire is present in
each believer’s life today and we must keep our dedication to Him
burning in our hearts.



INTRODUCTION
The ways of God are right.His Word is the only certain light,the only sure truth.The principles which He has announced are the only safe principles for guidance of men. When WE consider that the Bible the Word of God has made a unique contribution in shaping Nations where the Word of God has been taught as distinctive and blessed nations and people. When WE consider that deeply held religious convictions springing from the Holy Scriptures and the
Biblical teachings inspired concepts of civil governments that recognize Christianity. When we consider that the History of nations that are at least peaceful clearly illustrates the value of voluntarily applying the teachings of the scriptures in the lives of individuals, families and societies.When consider that a majority of current world leaders have a background of strict Biblical principle upbringing through their parents, When we consider that world nations now face great challenges that will test them as they have never been tested before in the areas that follow.Our permissive age has produced a generation which neither knows nor cares about Bible Principles of morality, chastity, the sanctity of marriage and purity of heart almost seem to be relics of another age. Our young people are growing up under constant suggestions from media and many of their friends that in moral matters each can do his
own thing. Many people of more mature years are also affected. Hospitals are full of youth dying of Aids and other sexually Transmitted diseases. The graveyards are staffed with the decaying bodies of youth who died in drunk driving accidents and gang related shootings; who overdosed on drugs and committed suicide. Our prisons have overflowing populations and those entering prison are going in at earlier ages. The call for rights by Homosexuals,lesbians and, Abortionists,CHILD ABUSE,RAPE ECT are images of a real rotten society,.The passages are intended to fix on a profound note the destiny of the future of our society.I WISH that this series of teachings would REACH PEOPLE OF ALL WALKS OF LIFE i.e students,church leaders,Teachers,Parents,Employers,Retirees,Businessmen&women,The Rich,The Poor,The Despised in society,ALL MEN &WOMEN!Corruption in our nation cannot be done away with eXccept
for sanctity of heart..No one is preserved blameless,without spot or wrinkle for which one can be blamed.No .No one is perfect until his body is under perfect control of his moral nature,Christ within.Christ,the character of God,the perfect man,the character of Christ . And when we consider that by Renewing our knowledge of and faith in God through Holy Scriptures can strengthen us as society and people,I wish to pass this passages to our society so that we may bring a renewed recognition of both the formative influence the Bible has been for our society and our Global need to study and apply the teaching in any of its various senses;

GOD BRINGS GOODNESS OUT OF BAD CIRCUMSTANCES

Gen 16:13 And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me? we have watched three people make serious mistakes, Sarah who took matters into her own hands and gave her servant girl to Abram, Abram who went along with the plan and when things began to go wrong refused to get involved in solving the problem and Hagar who ran away from the problem. In spite of this messy situation, God demonstrates how He is not limited by the complications in our lives. He can bring good out of any situation. Sarah and
Abram still received the son they so desperately wanted and God solved Hagar’s problem despite Abrams refusal to get involved. No problem in your life is too complicated for God if you are willing to allow Him to help you. There are some things that God does not because men are good, but because He is God. Therefore do not look for the goodness of men but look for God’s goodness. God’s goodness does not deteriorate nor fall away due to pressure but remains. Therefore do not look that men are good but know that God is good and have your respect to God. Gen 48:11: And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed., when Joseph became a slave (37:30: And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go? ) Jacob thought he was dead and wept in despair. But eventually Gods plan allowed Jacob to regain not only his son but grandchildren as
well. Circumstances are never so bad that they are beyond Gods help. Jacob regained his son, in like manner, Job regained a new family(Job 42:10-17), and Mary regained her brother Lazarus(John 11:1-44) we need not despair because we belong to a living God, we never know what good he will bring out of a seemingly hopeless situation. 1 Chron 22:1: Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel. out of David’s tragic mistakes begot the purchase of a plot of land that would become the site of God’s temple, the symbol of God’s presence among his people. Every time the people went to the temple they would remember that God is their true king and that everyone including the king, is human, fallible, and subject to sin. God can use even our sinful acts for good purposes, if we are sorry for them and seek his forgiveness. When we confess our sins, the way is opened for God to work
good from a bad situation. John 11:4: When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. any difficult situation a believer faces can ultimately bring glory to God because God can bring good out of any bad situation. When trouble comes, do you whine, complain, and blame God, or do you see your problems as opportunities to honor him? Truly because the living God is the “I AM”, that which he says, he shall do and he keeps his covenant to those who will stay steadfast with him. There is no good thing that God would withhold from those who will walk uprightly. This day seek to please God, seek to walk uprightly, and seek to obey God. And there is no good thing he withholds from you.

WOULD GOD DESTROY GOOD
WITH WICKED SODOM


Gen 18:25: That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? was God being unfair to the people of Sodom? Did he really intend to destroy the good and the wicked? On the contrary Gods fairness stood out 1. He agreed to spare the entire city if only ten godly people lived there. 2. He showed great mercy toward Lot, apparently, the only man in the city who had any kind of relationship with HIM (and even that was questionable). God went so far as to almost force Lot to leave Sodom before it was destroyed. Remember Gods patience when you are tempted to think he is unfair. Even the godliest people deserve his
justice. We should be glad doesn’t direct his justice as he did toward Sodom and Gomorrah. As we thank and praise God so does his mercies abound towards us, and so does his loving kindness pour out in great abundance. This day let us rejoice that we are privileged to be Gods people, let us rejoice that we are privileged to call upon his name. Rejoice and be glad in Christ, give thanks and praise. JANUARY-3 NOT ENOUGH TO BE GOOD SOME OF THE TIME Joshua 7:12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you. why did Adam’s sin bring judgment on the entire nation? Though it was one mans failure,
God saw it as national disobedience to a national aw. God needed the entire nation to be committed to the job they had agreed to do, conquer the land. Thus, when person failed, everyone failed. If Adam’s sin went unpunished, unlimited looting would break out. The nation as a whole had to take responsibility for preventing this. Adam’s sin was not the mere act of keeping some of the butyl which was allowed in some case, but the disobedience to God’s explicit command to destroy everything connected with this city. His sin was indifference to the evil and idolatry of the city, not just a desire for extra money. God is not contend with people doing what is right some time, he wants all of us to do what is right all the time. We are under orders from HIM to rid our lives of anything that hinders our devotion to HIM.God would not protect Israel’s army again until the sin was removed and the army returned to obeying HIM
without reservation. Indeed God is the merciful; he is the abundant and the omnipresent. Thank HIM even this day, that He is your God, your maker and your source. Look neither to the left nor the right, but look to Christ steadfastly beholding the goodness He is. Rejoice in the Lord this day, be glad and give thanks that he is indeed the God who keeps covenants, the God of goodness, the God of mercy. JANUARY-4 DOING GOOD IN THE WRONG WAY 1 Sam 13:9And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering. Rather than wait for a priest, Saul offered the sacrifice himself. This was against the law (Num 18:5And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any
more upon the children of Israel.). Under pressure from the approaching Philistines, he took matters into his own hands and disobeyed God. He was doing a good thing offering a sacrifice to God before a crucial battle, but he did it at the wrong time and in the wrong way. Our true spiritual character is revealed under pressure, as we saw Saul’s. The methods we use to accomplish our goal are as important as the attainment of the goals. The way of God is direct, spotless and undefined; indeed the way that God takes is the way that a man needs to be taking. Therefore do not doubt God but believe HIM, I know that he is able and rejoice in his tender mercies he gives to us. For God gives those mercies day by day. JANUARY-5 LOOKING FOR THE GOOD IN
OTHERS 2 Sam 1:16: And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD's anointed.17: And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son: Saul had caused much trouble for David, but when he died, David composed a poem for the king and his son. David had every reason to hate Saul, yet he chose not to. He chose to look at the good Saul had done and ignore the times when Saul had attacked him. It takes courage to lay aside hatred and hurt in order to show respect to another person especially an enemy (1 kings 2:32-And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.33: Their blood shall
therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD., 37For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.) It is the living God who does take us through the trying of our Faith; it is likewise the Lord, the living God, who does cause us to be strengthened. There a few some trying that make us hurt inside, they cause us natural pain, or they cause us emotional pain but the living God will take us through these things until we pain no more. And what it means by that is that our thinking is purified and sacrificed to where we think not upon Gods spirit kingdom and in that we find our strength and our rejoicing. When God has finished with us, we shall not pain with the
pain of the pain of men, but we shall rejoice with Christ, for He is our God and maker. JANUARY -6 YOU CAN BE GOOD BUT MISS WHAT IS IMPORTANT. 2 KINGS 15:34-And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.35: Howbeit the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the LORD “Jotham was a good king…….but,” Much good can be said of Jotham and his reign as king of Judah, but he failed in a most critical area, he didn’t destroy the shrines to the false gods, although leaving them clearly violated the first commandment(exodus 20:3). Like Jotham, we may live basically good lives and yet miss doing
what is most important. A lifetime of doing well is not enough if we make the crucial mistake of not following God with all our hearts. A true follower of God puts HIM first. (2 kings 15:4Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places. ) God takes us through various things t5o conform us to the image of the son, Jesus Christ, to conform us to the life of the new kingdom. Therefore do not begrudge those things but rejoice for they purge out the old, and bring into you the new. Therefore rejoice day by day in the Lord. JANUARY-7 WHAT IS A GOOD PERSON? Job 1:1There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one
that feared God, and eschewed evil. Job was called a good man because he feared God; he respected, worshipped and obeyed HIM. He was also called good because he stayed away from evil. He did not allow sin to creep into his life or temptation to overcome him. Being a good person is more than obeying God’s laws; it requires all the above characteristics. In light of these can you be called a good person? There are many who live in vexation, oppression and torment because they will not yield themselves to Jesus Christ. But the way of Gods peace is yielded to God and to his will. For no men may fight against God and win. And no woman will prevail over God. JANUARY-8 SOMETHING DONE WELL IS NOT ALWAYS
DONE RIGHT (1 Sam 22) Psalm 52:1Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually. Doeg thought he was a great hero-even boasting about his deed. In reality, his did was evil, an offense to God. It is easy to mistake “accomplishment” with goodness. Just because something is done well or thorough doesn’t mean it is good “for example, someone may be a great gambler or a skillful liar.” Measure all you do by the rule of God’s word not by how proficiently you do it. Therefore when you would see those who are vexed, oppressed and tormented offer them the way of Gods peace. For some have not heard, others have rejected, but offer Jesus
Christ again and again, for he is the only deliverance to man. He is the only peace. JANUARY-9 GOOD AND EVIL PEOPLE CONTRASTED Jer 17:5-8Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.6: For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.7: Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.8: For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year
of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. Two kinds of people are contrasted here, the wicked and the righteous. The wicked, specifically Judah, trust false gods and military alliances instead of God, and thus are barren and unfruitful. The righteous place their confidence in God, so they flourish like trees planted by water. In times of trouble, the wicked are already improvised and spiritually weak, so they have no strength to draw on. But the righteous have abundant strength, not only for their personal needs, but even for those of others. Are you satisfied with being unfruitful, or do you, like a well watered tree, have strength for the time of crisis and even some to share? (Psa 2:12, 34:8, 125:1, 146:5; Pro 16:20, Isa 30:18, Jb 8:16, Ps 1:3) Rejoice this day that we have Christ and that he is our peace. Find your refuge in Jesus Christ for he shall keep your rejoice even this day that it is the living God who
shall keep us. Do not rely on men for solutions for they are not solutions at all. But the living God is the solution and those who will come to Jesus Christ, he shall keep them in peace. JANUARY-10 DETERMINE THE QUALITY OF YOUR GOODNESS Matthew 5:20For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. The Pharisees were exacting and scrupulous in their attempts to follow the law, so how could Jesus reasonably cell us to a greater righteousness then theirs. The Pharisees weakness was that they were content to obey the law outwardly without allowing
it to change their hearts (or attitudes). Jesus was saying therefore that the quality of our goodness needs to be greater than that of the Pharisees. We can look pious and still be far from the kingdom of God. God judges our hearts as well as our deeds for it is in the heart where our real allegiance lies. Be just as concerned about your attitudes, which people don’t see as your actions which are seen by all. (Kk 18:11, 12; Rm 3:20; Phil3:5-7; Rom 10:10) Rejoice this day that you have Christ and that He is your peace. Rejoice that He gives His peace to you. Rejoice this day that you need not live in mental vexation all the day long, but that you may find your peace in Jesus Christ. Again thank God that He is your God, your maker, your peace and your refuge. JANUARY-11 THE FALSE GOODNESS OF THE
PHARISEES Matt 5:20For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Jesus was saying that His listeners needed a different kind of goodness altogether, not just a more intense version of the Pharisees goodness. Our goodness must (1) come from what God does in us, not what we can do by ourselves (2) be God centered, not self centered (3) be based on reference for God, not approval from people and (4) go beyond keeping the law to loving the principles behind it. This day thank and praise God. For He is the resolution and when you will look to Him, He is able to resolve to bring forth and to restore. This day look to Jesus Christ and give thanks and praise to God.
JANUARY-12 LEARNING TO ASK FOR WHAT IS GOOD FOR US Matt 7:9-10.Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?10: Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? The child in Jesus example asked God for bread and fish, good and necessary items. If the child had asked for a poisonous snake, would the wise father have granted his request? Sometimes though we persist in our prayers, God knows we are praying for “snakes” and does not give us what we ask for. As we learn to God better as a loving father, we learn to ask for things that are good for us and then He gives them. The Lord is the covenant keeping God. When we look for the sky, God does keep His covenant. It is eternal in the heavenly. Therefore this day believe Him. Know that that He does not lie, know that he shall move heaven and earth on behalf of those that believe
Him. JANUARY-13 GOODNESS ALONE WON’T BRING ETERNAL LIFE. Mat 7:21-23.Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.22: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?23: And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Jesus exposed those who sounded religious but had no personal relationship with Him. At the Day of Judgment, only our relationship with Christ, our acceptance of Him as savior and our obedience to Him will matter. Many people think that if they are good and religious, then they will be rewarded with eternal life. In reality faith in Christ is what will count at the
judgment. Do not forget that we are a privileged people, we are privileged to be with Christ, and we are privileged to worship Him. Let us not forged\t that indeed we are privileged people. And it is the Lord, the living God that has privileged us. JANUARY-14 SOME MAY CALL YOUR GOOD DEEDS EVIL. Matt 10:25It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? The Pharisees did infarct call Jesus “Satan” (matt 9:34). Good is sometimes labeled evil. If Jesus who is perfect was called evil then His followers can expect similar accusations directed at them. But those who endure will be vindicated. Greatly rejoice for the privilege given to you to belong to Christ, to worship
Him, to receive his light and to receive His word. Rejoice and be glad even this day. Do not get about your duties with begrudging with thanksgiving that you are privileged to labor for the kingdom that does remain, for the kingdom of eternal life, for the kingdom that brings others into the land of the living. Rejoice this day for you are indeed privileged. JANUARY-15 DOING GOOD FOR WRONG REASONS Luke 4:3It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? sometimes what we are attempted to do is not wrong in
itself, turning stones into bread wasn’t necessarily bad. The sin was not in the act but in the reason for it. Satan was trying to get Jesus to take a shortcut to solve his immediate problem at the expense of his long range goals. Satan always works that way persuading us to do things even good things even good things for the wrong reasons. The fact that something is not wrong in itself does not mean it is good for you at a given time. First ask “is the Holy spirit leading me to do this? Or is satan nudging me to do this to get me of the track?” Rev 2:4Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. the church at Ephesus was once commended for its love for God and others. (Eph 3:17-That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,18: May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;19:
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. ) but many of the church founders had died and the second generation of believers had lost their zeal for God. They were a busy church they did much to benefit the church and the community but they were acting for the wrong reasons. Work for God is not lasting unless it is based on love God and others. When we look to Christ trust in Him we are not made ashamed but are brought forth by His presence, glory and goodness. But when we believe a lie we shall be taken to disgrace. JANUARY-16 HOW TO LIVE A TRULY GOOD LIFE John 15:5- I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth
forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.6: If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.7: If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.8: Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. many people try to do good, be honest and do what is right. But Jesus says the only way to live a truly good life is to stay close to Him like a branch attached to a vine. Apart from Him our efforts are unfruitful. Are you receiving the nourishment and the life offered by Christ, the vine? If you are not you are missing a special gift he has for you. It is not God’s pleasure that his people would be a disgrace to Him, but it is His pleasure that his people will be brought forth to receive the truth, that His people
will go forward in the light even this day be glad, give thanks to receive the truth, the light and the glory of who He is. JANUARY-17 NO ONE IS GOOD IN GOD’S SIGHT. ROM 1:18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Why is God angry at sinful people? Because even thought God is holy and free of all evil, and even though He created people to love Him and give glory to Him. Adam and Eve rebelled and went their own way. Now all people are sinful. No one except for Jesus Christ has ever been able to live perfectly. The holy God, who is the source of all life and hope, cannot live with sin, which brings death. He wants to remove the sin and restore the
sinner, if the sinner doesn’t push away the truth. But his anger erupts against those who insist and persist in living a sinful life. Be not weary in well doing, but be a person who gives the thanks continually, a person who gives the praise. Thank the Lord and praise HIM, that HE alone is the living GOD, that he gives thee glory to us; that He gives the truth to us. Keep yourself in His way and you shall not be ashamed. When you will see those whom have been made ashamed, know that because they believed a lie. But when you will believe the truth the truth shall liberate you. Rejoice that in Jesus Christ, the Lord who does give His word and His truth to us to guide us. JANUARY-18 HOW GOD WORKS ALL THINGS FOR GOOD. Rom 8:28And we know that all things work
together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. God works out all things not just isolated incidents for our good. This does not mean that all that happens to us is good. Evil is prevailed in our fallen world, but God is able to turn it around for our long range good. Note that God is not working to make us happy, but to fulfill his purpose. Note also promise is not for everybody. It can be claimed by only those who love God and are fitting into Gods plan such people have a new perspective3 a new mindset in life. They trust in God, not life treasures; they look to their security in heaven, not in earth. They learn to accept pain and persecution on earth not resent it, because it brings them closer to God. This is the day to give thanks to the Lord; this is the day to give honor to the name of the Lord, for the living God does lead us from victory to victory. Though at times it appears we are
defeated we have been increased. For there have been many raised up against us to defeat us, to discourage us, to overwhelm us, but they have not succeeded for the Living God is with us. JANUARY-19 YOU MAY NOT SEE FRUITS OF YOUR GOOD EFFORTS 1 Cor 15:28And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. Paul said that because of the resurrection, nothing we do is wasted. Sometimes we hesitate to do good because we don’t see any results. But if we can maintain a heavenly perspective, we understand that we don’t often see the good that results from our efforts. If we truly believe that Christ has won the ultimate victory, it must affect the way we live right now. Doesn’t let discouragement over an apparent lack of results
keep you from working? Do the good that you have opportunity to do, knowing your work will have eternal results. Be rejoicing and giving thanks that God is with you. For that which He purpose God no man will destroy. Rejoice and be good in the Lord that it is Him the Living God who has kept you on the pathway, who has kept you on the target. Thank the Lord that you are privileged to be co-laborers, that the work that the Lord does through you is magnificent. Thank the Lord that it is HIM the Living God who has taught you the principle of co-laboring. For there are many who think they labor for the Lord but they are not laboring for the kingdom of God at all, they are laboring for there own estate. But when you are a co-laborer then the living God is with you. Rejoice even this day that the living God is with you, that He brings forth that which He desires. Thank Him even this day that you are privileged to be
His. JANUARY-20 BEING GOOD VS BEING GODLY Ephesians 2:3Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. the fact that all people without exception, commit sin proves that they share in the sinful nature. Does this mean that there are no good people who are not Christians? Of course not many people do well to others. On a relative scale many are moral, are kind, keep the laws, and so on. Comparing this people to criminals we would say they are very good i8n deed. But on Gods absolute scale no one is good. Only through inviting our lives to Christ’s perfect life can we become good in
Gods sight. Don’t be weary in well doing but release yourself to his strength and glory. Release yourself to the abundance that is found in Christ; and thank Him that He is our Lord, maker and master. Thank the Lord that He is our refuge and our glory that he leads us forty by a plain path, that He directs our steps and instructs us in the way. Be giving the Lord thanks throughout the day. This is the day that you shall feat on thanksgiving. It is important that you shall you remember Gods command to you and be giving the Lord the thanks throughout this day. JANUARY-21 LEARNING TO SEE GOODNESS IN
THE MIDST OF EVIL TITUS 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. some people see good all around them while others see nothing but evil. What is the difference? Our souls become filters from what we perceive goodness or evil. The pure in heart (those who have Christ in control of their lives) learn to see well even in the midst of evil. But evil people learn to see evil in the midst of good. Turn your thoughts to God and his word and you will learn to see good more and more, even in this evil world. Whatever you choose your mind with will affect the way you think and act.
Fill your mind with what is good, and then there will be little room for what is evil. When you abide in Christ so shall you live? For He gives His strength, He gives His life and glory to you, and when you will continue in that abiding you will see the Living God bring forth that which He desires There are many who turn aside, they cease abiding in Christ, but the ones who abide, shall eat the good of the land. They shall receive the abundant harvest; they shall see Gods mercies prevail. Continue to abide in Christ for He is life, no man gains the kingdom any other way but by abiding in Jesus Christ. Rejoice this day is glad, give thanks that you are privileged to be His that you are privileged to live and abiding His presence, His power and glory. Thank the Lord this day that He is omnipresent, that He is wondrous, and that He is the merciful God who thus gives His life to you. Continue therefore steadfast, continue to abide, continue
to draw the life, and continue to draw the strength, continue to know Christ as He is, and thank Him even this day; that he leads you forth by a plain path, that he directs your steps and instructs you. Be giving the Lord thank throughout this day for there are many victories that He gives to the ones who are grateful, the ones who are thankful, the ones who are in the in the attitude of gratitude. Thank the Lord throughout the day that He is merciful towards you.GO WITH THE FLOW OF LIFE12 definitions found for LIFEFrom The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 : Life \Life\ (l[imac]f), n.; pl.

LIFE Logistics Interface For manufacturing Environment From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) : life n. 1. A cellular-automata game invented by John Horton Conway and first introduced publicly by Martin Gardner ("Scientific American", October 1970); the game's popularity had to wait a few years for computers on which it could reasonably be played, as it's no fun to simulate the cells by hand. Many hackers pass through a stage of fascination with it, and hackers at various places contributed heavily to the mathematical analysis of this game (most notably Bill Gosper at MIT, who even implemented life in
TECO!; see Gosperism). When a hacker mentions `life', he is much more likely to mean this game than the magazine, the breakfast cereal, or the human state of existence. 2. Usenet. As in "{Get a life!">The opposite of Usenet. As in "{Get a life!" From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) : Life The first popular cellular automata based artificial life "game". Life was invented by British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970 and was first introduced publicly in "Scientific American" later that
year. Conway first devised what he called "The Game of Life" and "ran" it using plates placed on floor tiles in his house. Because of he ran out of floor space and kept stepping on the plates, he later moved to doing it on paper or on a checkerboard, and then moved to running Life as a computer program on a PDP-7. That first implementation of Life as a computer program was written by M. J. T. Guy and S. R. Bourne (the author of Unix's Bourne
shell). Life uses a rectangular grid of binary (live or dead) cells each of which is updated at each step according to the previous state of its eight neighbours as follows: a live cell with less than two, or more than three, live neighbours dies. A dead cell with exactly three neighbours becomes alive. Other cells do not change. While the rules are fairly simple, the patterns that can arise are of a complexity
resembling that of organic systems -- hence the name "Life". Many hackers pass through a stage of fascination with Life, and hackers at various places contributed heavily to the mathematical analysis of this game (most notably Bill Gosper at MIT, who even implemented Life in TECO!; see Gosperism). When a hacker mentions "life", he is more likely to mean this game than the magazine, the breakfast cereal, the 1950s-era board game or the human state

[{Jargon File] (1995-04-21) From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary : Life generally of physical life (Gen. 2:7; Luke 16:25, etc.); also used figuratively (1) for immortality (Heb. 7:16); (2) conduct or manner of life (Rom. 6:4); (3) spiritual life or salvation (John 3:16, 17, 18, 36); (4) eternal life (Matt. 19:16, 17; John 3:15); of God and Christ as the absolute source and cause of all life (John 1:4; 5:26, 39; 11:25; 12:50). From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :
LIFE. The aggregate of the animal functions which resist death. Bichat. 2. The state of animated beings, while they possess the power of feeling and motion. It commences in contemplation of law generally as soon as the infant is able to stir in the mother's womb; 1 Bl. Com. 129; 3 Inst. 50; Wood's Inst. 11; and ceases at death. Lawyers and legislators are not, however, the best physiologists, and it may be justly suspected that in fact life commences before the mother can perceive any motion of the foetus. 1 Beck's Med. Jur. 291. 3. For many purposes, however, life is considered as begun from the moment of conception in ventre sa mere. Vide Foetus. But in order to acquire and transfer civil rights the child must be born alive. Whether a child is born alive, is
to be ascertained from certain signs which are always attendant upon life. The fact of the child's crying is the most certain. There may be a certain motion in a new born infant which may last even for hours, and yet there may not be complete life. It seems that in order to commence life the child must be born with the ability to breathe, and must actually have breathed. 1 Briand, Med. Leg. 1ere partie, c. 6, art. 1. 4. Life is presumed to continue at least till one hundred years. 9 Mart. Lo. R. 257 See Death; Survivorship. 5. Life is considered by the law of the utmost importance, and its most anxious care is to protect it. 1 Bouv. Inst. n. 202-3. From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) : LIFE, n. A spiritual pickle
preserving the body from decay. We live in daily apprehension of its loss; yet when lost it is not missed. The question, "Is life worth living?" has been much discussed; particularly by those who think it is not, many of whom have written at great length in support of their view and by careful observance of the laws of health enjoyed for long terms of years the honors of successful controversy. "Life's not worth living, and that's the truth," Carelessly caroled the golden youth. In manhood still he maintained that view And held it more strongly the older he grew. When kicked by a jackass at eighty-three, "Go fetch me a surgeon at once!" cried
he. Han SoperJANUARY-22 LIFE COMES FROM THE BREATH OF GOD Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.“from the dust of the ground” implies that there is nothing especially good about the chemical elements from which we are made. Water, dirt, little protein-there is really not much to our physical bodies. The body is a lifeless soul until God brings it to life with his “breath of life.” When God
removes His life giving breath our bodies once again return to dust. Therefore mans life and worth comes from Gods spirit. This graphically portrays our need for God. Many boast of their significant achievement to boast about. But the reality is that life and worth comes from the God of the universe, and He chose to give you that mysterious and miraculous gift. Value it as He does. When you go with the Living God, you go with the flow of life. But when you stand against the Lord you take yourself into death. God does not desire that we would die, but He desires that we would live in HIM for HE is the living God. And he desires a living people. Therefore bend your will to HM and go with the flow of His life for He ordains it to be so.
JANUARY-23- THE TAKING OF HUMAN LIFE Gen 4:8-And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.9: And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?10: And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. this is the first murder, taking a life by the shedding of human blood. Blood represents life (Leviticus 17:10-14) if blood is removed from a living person, he will die. Since God created life and gave it to man, only God should take life away. There are many who imagine within themselves that they may resist God and win, but they are fools. For there is no other way except Gods way. Therefore rejoice that God gives you the way of life, His power and His presence. Be glad that there is none like the Lord and tat
you are privileged to be His. This day rejoice for the power of his presence in our midst. Rejoice for the tender mercies that He gives. Find your peace find your rest; find your safety in Christ, for indeed He is our maker. JANUARY-25- HOW DID BIBLE PEOPLE LIVE SO LONG Gen 5:25-And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:26: And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:27: And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. how did those people live for so long? Some believe that ages listed were lengths of family dynasties rather than ages of individuals. Those who believe these were actual age’s state three possibilities (1) the human race was
genetically pure in this early time period so there was less diseases to shorten the lifespan (2) no rain had yet fallen on the earth and “vapor” above (1:78) kept out harmful cosmic rays. Thus the environmental factors that cause aging were less pronounced, (3) God gave people longer lives so they would have time to “fill the earth” (1:28) and make a significant impact for God. God has made us for His own good purpose and for His own good plan. When life is given over to Christ, ones life is multiplied again and again. And it is dispersed to the hungry. Therefore rejoice that your life is given that your life is dispersed, that your life is dispersed, and that your life is multiplied. Thank God for His way, for His way is life. JANUARY-26- LIFE HAS VALUE BECAUSE WE ARE
MADE IN GODS IMAGE Gen 9:5-And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.6: Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. here God explains why murder is so wrong; to kill a person is to kill one made like God. Since all people are made like God, all people possess the qualities that differentiate us from the animals-morality, reason, creativity and self worth. When we interact with others, we are interacting with beings made like God, beings who will live
eternally. God intended for us to recognize these special qualities in all people. This Living God desires to see the oppressed go free that is free from the oppression of the wicked one, free from his lies, free from his demonic bondages. Therefore continue to cry out in behalf of the oppressed. For they are bound that they can’t free themselves. But He is well able to free them.. JANUARY-27- HOW TO FIND REAL LIFE Deut 8:3And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. how do you find “real life”/ many people think it comes from how they look, what they eat or drink, where they go or what they do in their leisure
time. If they can earn enough money to dress, eat, and play in high style, they think they are living the “good life.” But such things satisfy only our appetites not our deepest longings. In the end they leave us empty and dissatisfied. Real life according to Moses comes from total commitment to God, the one who created life itself. It requires discipline, sacrifice and hard work, and that is why most people never find it. At first it may not seem to be as much fun as the world’s way of living, but gradually as our friendship with God deepens, it leads to strength of character, peace of mind and deep satisfaction. The long term rewards of obeying God are greater than anything the world has to offer. Therefore cry out that the oppressed may be set free, that they may be freed from the prison house of darkness, from the prison house of sin, from the prison house of demons. The labor is not yet finished. Continue in strong
travails continue to cry out, that the oppressed may be set free. JANUARY-28- GOD IS THE SOURCE OF LIFE1 Sam 6:9And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Beth-shemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that is not his hand that smote us; it was a chance that happened to us. The Philistines acknowledged the existence of the Hebrew God, but only as one of many deities whose favor they sought. Thinking of God in this way made it easy for them to ignore his demand that people worship him alone. Many people worship God this way. They see God as only one ingredient in a successful life. But God is not an ingredient-he is the source of life itself. Are you a “philistine” seeing Gods favor as an ingredient of the good life? God is the source and creator of all life, for there is no life apart from God, here or thereafter. The life in us is a
gift from him (duet 30:20, psa 36:9) because Jesus is eternally existent with God the creator he too is the life (Jn 14:16) through whom we may live eternally (Jn 5:11) There are those who awe bound who are meant to worship God, but because they are bound, they bow down to demon gods, but when they are set free there are able to worship God. Rejoice that it is the living God who has freed you to worship him. Because you could be oppressed you could be harassed you could be bound by demon forces. But the Lord has freed you that you may worship Him, for this rejoice and be glad. And cry out that others would likewise be delivered that the oppressed would be set free. JANUARY-29- VIEWING LIFE ONLY IN TERMS OF
THE PRESENT Job 17:15And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it? Job gave up hope of any future restoration of wealth and family, and he wrapped himself in thoughts of death and the rest from grief and pain it promised. The rewards about which Job’s friends spoke were all related to this present life. They were silent about the possibility of life after death. We must be careful to avoid viewing life only in terms of this present world because God promises the faithful a never ending future. This day do not seek for the embellishments which feed the pride of man. Do not seek for the embellishments which feed the vanity of man. But rather seek to put out Christ’s life,
seek to put out god’s word, seek to declare HIM as I AM. For when you will declare the sobering truth, then are men convicted within, then are they brought into the light, then are they given God’s purpose. JANUARY-30- BREVITY OF LIFE Psalms 39:4-6For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.5: Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.6: O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them., 12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. Life is short no matter how long we live. If there is something important we want to do, we
must not put it off for a better day. Ask yourself “if I had six months to live, what would I do?” Tell someone about Jesus? Since life is short don’t neglect what is truly important. The brevity of life is there throughout the books of Psalms, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. Christ also spoke about it (Luke 12:20). It is ironic that people spend little or no thought on where they will spend eternity. David realized that amassing riches and accomplishing worldly tasks would make no difference in eternity. Few people understood that their only hope is in the Lord (fro verses in the brevity of life; Ecclesiastes 2:18 and James 4:14). We are guests on earth-travelers passing through. Our real home is in heaven with God. This perspective should change the way we live. How temporary our lives are, but while our time is short, the effects of what we do can be eternal. One well worn saying states that “only one life will soon
be past only what’s done for Christ will be last.” Seek to declare Gods word for it is God’s word that is transforming power; It is God’s word that shall displace man from iniquity and bring them into righteousness. Therefore seek continually to declare the word of God. Many have turned aside to the embellishments which feed the pride of man, feed the vanity of man, but God has not called us to turn aside to embellishments, but HE has called us to continue steadfast. JANUARY-31- USING LIFE MORE WISELY Psalms 90:12So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. it is easy to forget how short life really is. Realizing that life is short helps us use the little time we have more wisely. It helps us concentrate on using our lives for eternal good, not
just for the pleasure of the moment. Take time to number your days by asking, “What do I want to see happen in my life before I die? What small sep could you take toward that purpose today?” Declare the word of God For it is His word that shall change the hearts of men. It is the word of God that shall bring forth His Kingdom. It is the word of God that shall cause men to be transformed from darkness to light. Rejoice that you are privileged to proclaim the word of God, that He has given you the light to declare HIS word. Rejoice to be co-laborers in the same, in the declaration of the word of God, for it is the word of God that contains life. FEBRUARY-1- GOD’S CAPACITY FOR RESTORING LIFE Psalms 126:5-6They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.6: He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again
with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Gods capacity for restoring life is beyond our understanding. Forests burn down and are able to grow back. Broken bones heal. Even grief is not a permanent condition. Our tears can be seeds that will grow out of tragedy. When burdened by sorrow, know that your times of grief will end soon and that you will again find joy. We must be patient as we wait. God’s great harvest of joy is coming. It is not in the vain shows not the foolish embellishments but it is in declaration of Gods sobering truth that men are brought out of stupidity and blindness into the marvelous light. Rejoice for the life of god. Many men will weep bitter tears in the Day of Judgment for they shall see that they spent themselves for vanity for vexation, for the pride of men. They will see that all there foolish embellishments upon which the wasted their provision was nothing but nonsense in the sight of God and that
souls were not brought forth in the furtherance in the Kingdom of God, in the furtherance of the soberness of Gods truth but they were brought forth in the vanity, vexation and stupidity and blindness and they count for nothing. FEBRUARY-2- HOW WE WASTE LIFE Psalms 144:3-4LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!4: Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. Life is short David reminded us that it is but a breath and our days are like passing shadows. James said that the length of our lives is as uncertain us the morning fog. Now you see it soon it is gone (James 4:14) because life is short we should live for God when we have the time. Don’t waste your life by giving yourself to an
inferior purpose that has no lasting value. Live for God who alone can make your life worthwhile, purposeful and meaningful. The living God does not desire us to weep bitter tears but to be giving thanks and rejoicing for obeying his commands to us. Declare the word of God, put forth his truth speak the light for he is the light. FEBRUARY-3- THE BEST WAY TO ENJOY LIFE Matthew 10:36: And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. these verse is a positive and negative statement of the same truth. Clinging to this life may cause us to forfeit the best from Christ in this world and the next. The more we love these life rewards, leisure, power, popularity, financial security the more we discover how empty they really are. The best way to enjoy life therefore is to lose our
greedy grasp on earths rewards, to be free to follow Christ (matt 16:25). In doing so we will inherit eternal life and begin at once to experience the benefits of following Him. When Gods people are true to Him He is true to them. When you will stay single with the living God he will stay single with you. For he is the living God and he keeps his covenant. The promises that he makes to his people he does not make them for vanity’s sake, but He makes them because He loves His people. And the desires to pour Him out upon his people again and again. Therefore this day receive the promises with thanksgiving and stand up on the same. FEBRUARY-4- WHY YOUR LIFE MUST BE FILLED WITH GOD Matthew 12:43-45 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.44: Then he saith, I will return into my house
from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.45: Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. Jesus was describing the attitude of nation of Israel and the religious leaders in particular. Just cleaning up ones life without filling it with God leaves plenty of room for satan to enter. The book of Hezron records how the people rid themselves of idolatry but failed to replace it with Gods love and obedience to Him. Wanting to rid our lives of sin is the first step. Then we must fill our lives with Gods word and the Holy Spirit. Look to Jesus Christ with single vision. Keep your heart single upon Him and the Living God shall fulfill you, for God has chosen you, He has called you; He has purposed you therefore walk
with Him. Look to Jesus Christ even this hour look to him even this day and know that whatever the living God has spoken to you, that he shall do. Rejoice in the Lord be glad and give thanks. FEBRUARY-5- WHICH LIFE IS MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU? Matthew 14:35-And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;36: And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole. the people recognized Jesus as a great healer but how many understood who he truly was. They came to Jesus for physical healing but did they come for spiritual healing, they came to prolong there lives on earth but did they come to secure there eternal lives. People may seek Jesus to learn valuable lesson from his life or in hopes of finding relief
from pain. But have missed Jesus’ whole message if we seek Him only to heal our bodies but not our souls. If we look to Him for help only in this life rather than for His eternal plan for us. Only when we understand the real Jesus Christ can we appreciate how He can truly change our lives. Luke 9:24-25For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.25: For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? if this life is most important you will do everything you can to protect it. You will not want to do anything that may endanger you safety, your health or your comfort. But contrast if following Jesus is most important to you. You may find yourself in some very unsafe, unhealthy and uncomfortable places, you will risk death but you will not fear it, because you know Jesus will raise you to eternal life. The person, who
is concerned only with life, has no assurance. His earthly life may be longer but it may most likely be marred by feelings of boredom and worthlessness. Luke 12: 6-21 the man in Jesus’ story died before he could begin to use what was stored in his big barns. Planning for retirement-preparing for life before death-is wise but neglecting life after death is disastrous. If you accumulate wealth only to enrich yourself with no concern of helping others. You will enter eternity empty handed. Rebuke the deadness that comes with your enemies and likewise receive not the enemies treasure into your bosom. Partake not of their dainties but rather refuse those things, that is do not partake of them, for it is the Lord the Living God, who is your provision therefore rejoice in Christ and be glad. FEBRUARY-6- JESUS PLACES GREAT VALUE ON
LIFE Matthew 8:32And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. When the devil entered the pigs they drove the animals into the sea. The demons action proves there distractive intent. If they could not destroy the men, they would destroy the pigs. Jesus action by contrast shows the value he places on each human life. Jesus Christ is our defense and rear guard. Therefore lurk yourself in Him and know that He is the High tower of safety. He has not called us to look to the arm of flesh, but to look to the Lord for He is Our God. He hears us keeps about His business. Fret not yourselves because of evil men and there plots, but know that the living God shall keep you for He is our shelter our high tower and our
defense. FEBRUARY-7- WHAT IT MEANS TO THROW AWAY YOUR LIFEMark 8:35For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. To throw away your life for the sake of the good news doesn’t mean our lives are useless rather it means that nothing not even life itself can compare to what we can gain with Christ. Jesus wants us to choose to follow him rather than to lead a life of sin and self satisfaction. He wants us to stop trying to control our own lives and let Him be in-charge. This makes good sense because us the creator only He knows what real life is about. He asks for submission not self hatred. He asks us to throw away the self-centeredness that says we know better than God on how to run our lives. Rejoice in Christ and be glad even this day that we are privileged to rely and
depend upon Him. Look to Him and draw the strength that He is. For indeed when we will continually keep our hand to the plans not looking back the living God will be rear guard. And when we will go forward us the Lord would give us the advance the living God will open up doors before us. This is Gods time, this Gods season, this is Gods harvest therefore labor with all diligence steadfast and know that it is us the Lord Jesus Christ who does keep us He is our high tower, our safety and shield. FEBRUARY-8- WHAT IT MEANS TO REALLY LIVE Mark 8:36-37For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?37: Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? many people spend there lives seeking pleasure. Jesus said however that the world of
pleasure centered on possession, position of power is ultimately worthless. Whatever we have on earth is only temporary. It cannot be exchanged for our souls. If we work hard at getting what we want we may eventually have a pleasurable life but in the end you will find it hollow and empty. Are you willing to make the pursuit of God more important than the selfish pursuit of pleasure? Follow Jesus and you will know what it means to really live in this life and have eternally life us well. This day wage the war, fight the fight for indeed it is the Lord Jesus Christ who called you to fight the good fight of faith. It is the living God who has called you to wage the war against sin therefore one more day lift up the banner, one more day go forward.One more day, believe in Christ and trust in Him and know that he is able. FEBRUARY-9- HOW TO BEGIN
A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST John 1:13Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. All who welcome Jesus Christ as Lord of their lives are re-born spiritually receiving new life from God. Through faith in Christ these new path changes us from inside out, rearranging our attitudes desires and motives. Being born makes you physically alive and places you in your parent’s family. Being re-born makes you spiritually alive and puts you in Gods family. Have you asked Christ to make anew person? This fresh start in life is available to all who believe in Christ. God has called us to be soldiers till the end; he has called us to continue steadfast therefore wage the war fight the fight one more day. Do not give up along the way do not throw up your arms and say “I despair, I despair,” but throw your hands up and praise God and thank God for it is the Living God who encourages us and it is the living God who
strengthens us and purpose us. Therefore troop on and believe in Jesus Christ knowing that he is able. FEBRUARY-10- PARALLELS BETWEEN PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL LIFE John 4:13-15Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:14: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.15: The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. Many functions of ones spiritual parallel the functions of the physical life. Us our bodies hunger and thirst so do our souls, but our souls need spiritual food and water, the woman confuse the two kinds of water perhaps because no one had ever talked to her about her spiritual hunger and thirst before. We would not
think of depriving our bodies of food and water, when they hunger or thirst, why then should we deprive our souls of the living word Jesus Christ and the written word the Bible can satisfy our hungry and thirsty souls. There are victories that God is giving us great victories in the spirit realm. Great victories upon the souls of men rejoice and be glad. Do not be discouraged or defeated let all enemies fall to themselves. Let them wallow in their own mere, pay the no heed but go forward in the war, go forward in the battle, go forward in the conquering for this is the time of great prevailing power that God has given to us therefore look to Jesus Christ believe and trust in Him. March onward go forward, believe, trust and know that He is able. (Jn 7:37-39, Exod 17:6, 1st Pet 2:8, Jn 5:24-40, Matth 7:14, Rev 22:19, 20, Jn 4:49, Matth 6:9) FEBRUARY-10 -JESUS AS THE WAY TRUTH AND
LIFE Jn 14:6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Jesus says he is “the way, he is the truth and the life.” as the way, he is our path to the father, as the truth be is the reality of all Gods promises. As the life he joins his divine life to ours, both now and eternally. This day do not let discouragement come at you at all but rebuke the same, and pay no heed to the barking of the same old dogs. But look to Christ for it is him who takes us past the dogs, let them bark on but continue in the battle the lord has set before you. For souls are being delivered, souls are being set free, souls are being brought forth, therefore know that your commission is of the Lord Jesus Christ, the living God and continue steadfast.(Jn 17:2,3,mt
7:14,rev22:19) FEBRUARY- 11- WHAT LIVING IN CHRIST MEANS Jn 15;5-I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.6: If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. Living in Christ means 1.) Believing he is Gods son (1 Jn4:15) 2.) Receiving him as savior and Lord (Jn 1:12) 3.) Doing what God says (1 Jn 3:24) 4.) Continuing in faith (1Jn 2:24) 5.) Relating to the community of believers, Christs body. When a man has had an encounter with the truth he is unable to hide
from the same. Though he may run all of his days and attempt to stick himself away to forget, he can’t. There is nothing that shall penetrate a man's soul as an encounter with the truth. Therefore continue to speak forth, continue to declare, continue to proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ (Gal 5:22, 23, Phil 1:11, 4:13, Mt 25:30) FEBRUARY- 12 - WHAT YOU PUT INTO LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT YOU GET OUT OF IT Acts 20:24But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of
the grace of God. we often feel that life is a failure unless we are getting a lot out of it; recognition, fun money, success. But Paul thought life was worth nothing else, unless he used it for Gods work. What he put into life was for more importance than what he got out of it. Which is more important to you, what you get out of life, or what you put into it? It is Gods truth that has transformation power. It is Gods truth that is full of glory. Rejoice even this day that you are privileged to partake of the truth on a daily basis, that you are privileged to live and abide in Christ. Thank the lord indeed that it is Jesus Christ, the son of the living God who has given you the truth that you may declare the same. Rejoice for that opportunity, rejoice for that privilege, and make full use of the time. For indeed the truth is the one factor that man cannot erase from their lives. Rejoice continually for the privilege to handle Gods truth
and declare the same. (1 Cor 9:26, Phil 3:13-14, 2 Tim 4:7-8) FEBRUARY - 13- NEW LIFE IN CHRIST Rom 6:5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: we can enjoy our new life in Christ because we have joined him in his death and resurrection. Our evil desires, our bondage to sin and our love of sin died with him. Now joining in his resurrection life we have unbroken fellowship with God and freedom from sin. For more on the difference in our new life in Christ and our old sinful nature (read Ephesians 4:23, 24, Col 3:3-15) The living God’s way is the perfect way. Walk in the way that God leads you for it is the perfect way, and
rejoice that the living God does take the time to lead you. For there are multitudes throughout the earth who have no leading at all, except the leading to destruction, therefore rejoice and be glad this day, that the lord leads you in a plain path and that his way is perfect and that he gives to us His light, his mercy, and His goodness. Rejoice night that his way is perfect, that we are privileged to partake of the same. Rejoice in Christ and be glad that He is our God, our maker and our source. Rejoice that the way Christ is perfect. FEBRUARY-14- WHY CHRIST HOLDS THE TRUE MEANING
OF LIFE Col 2:10And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: When we know Jesus Christ, we don’t need to investigate other religions, cults or unbiblical philosophies as the Colossians were doing. Christ alone holds the answers to the true meaning of life, because Christ is life. He is the unique source for the Christian life; therefore no Christian needs anything He has not provided. Men limit Christ through the style of life they think they must have. But Jesus Christ is the son of the limitless God and He moves. And if men would abandon
their style of life and abandon over to HIM they would see that he provides for all that is in nature. Yeah, He provides, it is no man who runs around and feeds the birds, feeds the beasts, or feeds the trees and the air. God through His son Jesus Christ does those things. He provides. If men were abandoned over to Christ they would see he provides. But they limit what Christ may do by their choice of style of life above Christ, but choose Christ will and He shall move for you. For it gives great pleasure to pour out to show forth and to be true God. This day do not be as the foolish who inhibit Christ but be as the wise who abandon to Chris. Be abandoned to Christ, to his purpose, and you shall see Him move. Truly He is the omnipresent, the glorious and the one true God. Thank Him that He remains, tank Him that He is above the style of life of men, and thank Him that He is the infinite and the endless. Rejoice even this day that He leads us
that he purposes us, that He has called us for His own. Rejoice that we are privileged to be co-laborer. Do not inhibit Christ nor limit Him, but look t6o Him as He is endless. Look to Him as He is provision, look to Him as He is abundance, look to Him even this day and rejoice. (Eph 1:21, 1 Pet 3:22) FEBRUARY-15-LIFE IS SHORT NO MATTER HOW LONG YOU LIVE James 4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. Life is short no matter how long you we live. Don’t be deceived into thinking you have lots of remaining time to live for Christ, to enjoy your loved ones, or to do what you know you should. Live for God today. Then no matter when
your life ends, you will have fulfilled Gods plan for you. Set your vision to Christ the son of the Living God. For indeed when your vision is upon Christ so shall He keeps you. But when you will allow yourself to be double minded and bob your head about, you cannot be kept, for you cause your own weakening. But when you will keep your vision single to Jesus Christ, the Living God will gird you about with strength and you shall be kept. Pay no heed tom the liar, pay no heed to his accusation, but keep your vision upon Christ. Rejoice this day be glad, give thanks that it is the living God who has given you the vision that you may adhere to the same and be made strong. Rejoice for the many promises, the many blessings that Hew gives us day to day. Rejoice for His infinite mercies that remain with you. Keep your vision single and be a prevailing person. (Job 7:7, Psa 102:3, 1 Pet 1:24, 25)THANK GOD FOR THE
SOBERING WORD 2 definitions found for THANKFULNESSFrom The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 : Thankful \Thank"ful\, a. [AS. [thorn]ancfull.] 1. Obtaining or deserving thanks; thankworthy. [R.] [1913 Webster] Ladies, look here; this is the thankful glass That mends the looker's eyes; this is the well That washes what it shows. --Herbert. [1913 Webster] 2.
Impressed with a sense of kindness received, and ready to acknowledge it; grateful. [1913 Webster] Be thankful unto him, and bless his name. --Ps. c. 4. [1913 Webster] -- Thank"ful*ly, adv. -- Thank"ful*ness, n. [1913 Webster]From WordNet (r) 2.0 : thankfulness n :
warm friendly feelings of gratitude [syn: gratefulness, appreciativeness FEBRUARY-16-IT IS TIME TO EXPRESS YOUR THANKS. Lev 7:28-And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,29: Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings. God told the children of Israel to bring their thanksgiving offerings personally, with their own hands. They were to take time and effort to express thanks to God. You are the only person who can express your thankfulness to god and to others. Do you leave it to others to express thanks for what people have done? Do you rely on the one, leading the prayer to say it for you? Take time yourself to express thanks both to God and those important to you. Thank God for the sobering
word that He does give to you, for we live in a drunken and intoxicated generation. For men have turned aside to drunkenness, they have turned aside to foolishness and folly. But the Lord will give us His sobering word to keep us in the way. The way of the Living God doesn’t change because men grow wanton, but His word remains the same. It is the way of God’s righteousness, the way of God’s holiness seeks to walk there with thanksgiving and praise for indeed it is the living God who has called and purposed us. FEBRUARY-17- DEVELOPING AN ATTITUDE OF THANKSGIVINGNum 11:4- And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?5: We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:6: But our
soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. Dissatisfaction comes when our attention shifts from what we have to what we don’t have. The people of Israel didn’t seem to notice what God was doing for them. Setting them free, making them a nation, giving them a new land because they were so wrapped up in what God wasn’t doing for them they couldn’t think of nothing except the delicious Egyptian melons they had left behind. Somehow they forgot that the brutal whip of Egyptian slavery was the cost of eating those melons. Before we judge the Israelites too harshly, it’s helpful to think about what occupies our attention most of the time. Are we grateful for the things God has given us, or are we always thinking about new things we would like to have? We should not allow our unfulfilled desires to cause us to forget God’s gifts of life, food, health, work and friends. Num 31:48-And the
officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:49: And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.50: We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD. after carefully accounting for all their men, the officers discovered that not one soldier was lost or killed in the battle, at once they thanked God. After going through tough times we should be quick to thank God for what was not lost as well as for what was gained. Thank God this day for His sobering word that keeps us from the state of intoxication, for indeed the word of the Living God shall shine light upon your path this day. The word of God
shall keep you in the way of uprightness. Rejoice this day that you are privileged to receive the word of God. Declare the same, labor that the same is dispersed for indeed when the word of God is given to the multitudes that are hungry they shall receive the same and grow thereby. But when they are given the word of drunkenness and foolishness, they perish in their sins. Rejoice and be glad, give thanks this day that the word of God is given to you. Thank God that you are privileged to be co-laborers in the dispersement of the word of God (Ex 12:38, 16:35) Un converted church members are unable to desire or understand Christ as the bread of God, will clamor for things pleasing to the flesh in the work and way of the church-sumptuous buildings, ornate ritual, an easy doctrine. Alas! They lead away the unspiritual believers also. FEBRUARY-18- THANKFULNESS SHOULD BE CONTINUOUS 1 Chron
16:4And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel: certain Levites were appointed to give constant praise and thanks to God. Praise and thanksgiving should be a continuous part of our lives, not expressions reserved only for celebrations. Determine to praise God continuously, and you will find that you won’t take His blessings for granted. (Psa 38, 70) Psa 92:1-It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:2: To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, during the thanksgiving holiday, we focus on our blessings and express our gratitude to God for them. But thanks should be on your lips daily. We can never say thank you enough to parents, friends, and leaders and especially to God. When thanksgiving becomes an integral part of your life, you
will find that your attitude toward life will change. You will become more positive, gracious, loving and humble. (Psa 147:1, 89:1) This day, rejoice for the outstanding victory that is in the name of Jesus Christ. For indeed the name of Jesus Christ does reign supreme in the heavenliest. The war has been fought, the battle has been won. There has been invincible power in the name of Jesus therefore use the power, feel privileged with the power Christ has delivered to you, the power that is in his name. FEBRUARY-19- ELEMENTS OF THANKSFULNESS 1 Chron 16:7-36 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.8: Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.9: Sing unto him, sing
psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.10: Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.11: Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.12: Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;13: O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.14: He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.15: Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;16: Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;17: And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,18: Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;19: When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.20: And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another
people;21: He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,22: Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.23: Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.24: Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.25: For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.26: For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.27: Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.28: Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.29: Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.30: Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.31: Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth
rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.32: Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.33: Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.34: O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.35: And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.36: Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.37: So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required: does it ever seem that a simple “thank you” God is not enough to express your appreciation to God. Four elements of true thanksgiving are found
in the following song.1) Remembering what God has done2) Telling others about it 3) Showing Gods glory to others and God4) Offering gifts of self time and resources Get into the habit of fully expressing your thanks to God( 2 Sam 23:1, Psa 105, Gen15:18, 26:3, 28:13, 35:11-12, Psa 19:19, Lev 19:4, 1 Cor 10:20, Isa 55;10-13, Joel 3:1-14, Zech 14:1-4, Matth 25:31-46) This day rejoice for the power, rejoice for the glory, rejoice for the anointing that is the name of Jesus Christ. Thank God that He the invincible, the overcoming, the prevailing, the triumphant, and one true God. Thank God that you are privileged to live and abide in Christ, that you are privileged to use his name. Rejoice this day, be glad, and give thanks and praise. FEBRUARY-20-THANKFULNESS IN ALL AREAS OF LIFE Psa 138:1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before
the gods will I sing praise unto thee. thanksgiving should be an integral part of our lives. This theme is woven throughout the Psalms. As we thank God for material and spiritual blessings we should also thank him for answered prayer. Remember when you asked God for protection, strength, comfort, patience, love or other special needs and he supplied them, beware of taking Gods provision and answered prayer for granted. Use the helmet of salvation, don’t let your mind, your head be covered or clothed in oppression, but rather gird yourself with the helmet of salvation that the living God does give to you. For indeed Christ desires our minds to be covered with the knowledge of His truth, the knowledge of His word with the strength of His saving grace over us. FEBRUARY- 21-THANKFULNESS DEMONSTRATED BY THE LEPER Luke 17:16And fell down on his
face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. Jesus healed all ten lepers but only one returned to thank Him. It is possible to receive God’s great gifts with an ungrateful spirit-nine of the lepers did so. Only the thankful leper however learned that his faith had played a role in his healing and only grateful Christians grow in understanding of God’s grace. God doesn’t demand that we thank Him, but he is pleased when we do so and He uses our spirit of thankfulness to teach more about his kingdom. This night do not be oppressed but be uplifted in the joy o\f the Holy Spirit. Use the weapons of your warfare; use the helmet of salvation that the Lord has given to you. For indeed God has given us the armor to protect ourselves to keep ourselves from the fiery darts of the wicked one, therefore use the armor has bestowed unto you, and don’t bow down to oppression. Do not bow to depression but gird your mind,
keep your mind clothed in the helmet of salvation and rejoice even this night that you are privileged tube saved, privileged to be redeemed and privileged to belong to Christ. FEBRUARY- 22- THANK THOSE WHO HAVE HELPED YOU Acts 3:7-And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.8: And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.9: And all the people saw him walking and praising God:10: And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him. in his excitement the formerly lame man began to jump and run around. He also praised God! And then others to, were awed by
Gods power. Don’t forget to thank people when they help you, but also remember to praise God for his blessings. (Acts 3:1-10, 5:12, 28:8-10, 1 Isa 35:6, Acts $:16-21) Rejoice and be glad and use the weaponry that God has given to you. Don’t let the weapons grow old and clammy and rusty, win n the war for God has given to us salvation, God has given to us his mercies. The living God has given to us the blood of Jesus Christ, use the weaponry God has given to you. FEBRUARY23- THANKFULNEESS ABOUT THE SPIRITUAL GIFTS OF OTHERS Rom 12:6-Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;7: Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;8: Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do
it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.9: Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. look at this list of gifts and imagine the kinds of people who would have such gifts. Prophets are always bold and articulate. Servants are faithful and loyal. Teachers are clear thinkers. Preachers know how to motivate others. Givers are generous and thrusting, administrators are good organizers and managers. Comforters are caring people who are happy to giver there time to others. It would be difficult for one person to embody all this gifts. An assertive prophet would not usually make a good counselor and a generous giver might fail as an administrator. When you identify your own gifts (and you don’t have or stop with this listing it is far from complete) ask how you can use them for Gods glory at the same time realize that your gifts can’t do the work
of the church all alone. Be thankful for the people whose gifts are completely different from yours. Let your strengths balance your weakness and be grateful there abilities make up for your deficiencies. Together you can build the church. When you reach out to the arm of flesh you will not see gods glory revealed. When you will rely upon men you will not see Gods mighty power come forth. But when you will love Jesus Christ alone young shall see him for he will reveal himself and his power, glory and might. This day keep your confidence in Christ, keep hold of Him, looking to Him for indeed He is the source of our strength our salvation, deliverance and power. Look to Christ and Him alone and you shall see His glory revealed. For indeed it gives Him pleasure to reveal himself to his people. FEBRUARY-24- THANKFULNEESS IS A PROPER
RESPONSE TI SALVATION Eph 2:8-For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:9: Not of works, lest any man should boast. when someone gives you as gift do you say “that is very nice-now how much do I owe you,” no, the appropriate response to a gift is thank you yet how often Christians even after they have been given the gift of salvation feel obligated to try to work there way to God. Because our salvation and even our faith are gifts we should respond with gratitude, praise and joyfulness (Col 1:5, 6, Rom 3:24, 27, Jn 1:17, Eph 3:17, Gen 3:20, Heb 11:39, Jn 1:12-13, Rom 4:4-5, 11:6, 1 Cor 1:26-31) If God's people don’t wait upon Christ what shall they see? They shall see the shabbiness of men revealed but they shall not see the greatness of the glory of God. Continually wait upon Christ. Have your confidence in him, believe Gods promises to you and you shall
see his glory revealed. This day thank God, thank Him that it is Him who shall reveal His glory, His strength, His omnipresence. Wait upon Jesus Christ and see Him revealed. FEBRUARY-25- THANKFULNESS SHOULD MONE US TO ACTION Eph 2:8-For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:9: Not of works, lest any man should boast.10: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. we become Christians through Gods unmerited gifts to us called “grace.”Eph 1:6-8 not as the result of effort, ability, intelligence device, or act of service to others on our part. However out of gratitude for this free gift we seek to help and serve others with kindness, charity and goodness and not merely please ourselves.
While no action or “work” we do can help us obtain salvation. God’s intent is that our salvation will result in works of service. We are not saved merely for our own benefit but for His-to glorify Him and build up the church (Eph 4:12, 25) Thank god even this day that he is a triumphant God who reigned in the midst of an obedient people. When Gods people obey there is no good thing withheld from them. Do not be hasty with you feet or words but wait upon Jesus Christ and obey and receive the greatness of who He is. FEBRUARY-26-THANKFULNESS FOR GODS AVAILABLE SYTRENGTH Eph 5:20Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; when you feel down you may find it difficult to give thanks. Take heart God works all things out for good if we love Him and are fitting into His plans(Rom 8:28) thank God not for your
problems but for the strength He is building in you through the difficult experiences in your life. You can b sure that Gods perfect love will see you through. (Sam 34:1, Isa 63:7, Phil 4:6, Col 3:17, 1 Thess 5:18). Thank the Lord the living God that it is Him who removed the hindrance from you. For \he indeed makes the pathway straight. He makes pathway clear before you. Therefore rejoice in Christ and be glad for there is nothing that comes upon us that he doesn’t allow. And when you will thank god and praise Him you will see his goodness in the same. It is Christ the Lord who removes the hindrances in our way. FEBRUARY-27-THANKFULLNESS FOR THOSE WHO BRING YOU JOY 1 Thess 3:9For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God; it is great joy for a Christian to see
another person come to faith in Christ and mature in that faith. Paul experienced this joy countless times. He thanked God for those who had come to know Christ and prayed for there continued growth in faith. If there are new Christians who have brought joy thank Gods for them, as they continue to grow in faith. Greatly rejoice and be glad even this night that Christ prepares the path and He causes us to walk there. Continue to choose Christ continue to choose His way for He is merciful to us. Do not accuse God in your heart but thank Him for He has our best in mind, and he has the furtherance of his eternal kingdom. Therefore greatly rejoice be glad in Christ go forth encumbered by the hindrances enemies would throw in your path. It is the living God who moves the hindrances out of the way. Thank God that he is our God our makers and our source. Thank God that He is our strength, thank God that we are privileged to be in His kingdom to
be his co-laborers. Rejoice this night give thanks. FEBRUARY-28- EXPRESAS THANKFULNESS TO CHURCH LEADERS 1 Thess 5:12-And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;13: And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. think of your pastor and other church leaders how can you honor them? Express your appreciation tell them how you have been helped by there leadership and teaching and thank them for there ministry n your life. If you say nothing how will they know where you stand? Remember they need and deserve your support and love expressed in practical ways (Heb 13:7, 17 Mk 9:50) Does not the living God speak to you, and does not God come forth in His River. Does He not continue to flow? Who will hold back
Gods word? Who will be stingy with Gods life? Who will declare that the Lord is the living God cannot provide? When men allocate to God there stinginess and there own fearfulness, and own description that Jesus cannot, search men become a grief to God. The Lord Comes to men in His River, He comes to men in abundance, He comes to men in His never ending flow and when men will co-operate with His flow it doesn’t cease. It is not damned up, for He is the God of provision there is no limit to Him. FEBRUARY-29- HOW TO GIVE THANKS IN EVERYTHING 1 Thess 5:18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Paul was not teaching that we should thank God for everything that happens to us but in everything. Evil doesn’t come from Him so we should not thank
Him for evil, but when evil strikes we can still be thankful for whom God is and for the good He can bring through the distress. Therefore this day rejoice be glad that God is the never ending God He shall not be cut off. Continue to declare Jesus Christ as He is, continue to trust Him and believe Him and know He is able. Do not limit God through human fear but believe Him know that He is able and see His river increase, see the souls increase, see the men set free increase for the Lord is the never ending God there is no end to His abundance, there is no end to His provision.

MARCH-1-CONFIDENCE COMES FROM GOD'S STRENGTH
NOT OUR OWN
Judges 7:2And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. self sufficiency is an enemy. When it causes us to believe we can always do what needs to be done in our own strength. To prevent this attitude among Gideon’s soldiers, God reduced their number from 32000 to 300. With an army this small, there could be no doubt that any victory was from God. The men could take the credit. Like Gideon, we must recognize the danger of fighting in our own strength. We can only be confident of victory if we put our confidence in God and not ourselves. (Dt 8:17, 1 Sam 14:6, Isa 10:13, Rom 11:18, 1 Cor 1:29, 2 Cor 4:7, Josh 4:6).
Psa 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. God laughs, not at the nations, but at their confused thoughts about power. It is the kind of laughter which a father has with a pre-school son who boasts of out-running his father or conquering him in a wrestling match. The father knows the boundaries of power of his little boy, and God knows the boundaries of the powers of the nations. If you must choose to put your confidence in God or the nations, choose God. God is all powerful. He created the world and knew about the empires of the earth long before they came into being (Dan 2:26-45) but power causes nations and leaders to rage against God and they even try to outwit Him. Our world has many leaders who boast of their power, who rant and rave against God and His people, who promise to take over and form their own empire. But God laughs because any power they have comes from Him, and He can also take it from
them. We need not fear the boasts of the tyrant because he is in God's hands.
When we will hold steadfast of our confidence in Christ, we shall not be shaken. For though the waves may come and roar upon us, they will not take us away from Christ, for He is our rock, He is our Strength, our salvation, our deliverance and our power.

MARCH-2-JOB WAS LOOSING CONFIDENCE IN GOD
Job 23:14For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him. Job wavered back and forth, first proclaiming loyalty to God and then calling God his enemy. His friend’s words and his own suspicions were undermining his confidence in God. When affliction comes, it is natural to blame God and to think that our God is being hostile towards us. His purposes go deeper than our ability to grasp all that is really happening. While this sounds like a past answer, it is the same answer God gave Job in chapters 38:41. We shouldn’t demand to know why certain calamities befall us. Often we cannot or are not meant to know until later.
Hold steadfast and see Gods glory revealed, see His greatness come forth and see Him as H is. Hold to Jesus Christ in this day, believing Him beyond all circumstances. Thank the Lord that His the God who is the rock of your salvation that He is the strength that does remain, and that He is the power and glory to be revealed.

MARCH-3-CONFIDENCE IN THE FACE OF GLOBAL DESTRUCTION
Psa 46:1-God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2: Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3: Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. the fear of mountains or cities suddenly crumbling into the sea by a nuclear blast haunts many people today. But the Psalmists says that even if the world ends,” we need not fear!” Even in the face of utter destruction, he expressed a quiet confidence in God’s ability to save him. It seems impossible to face the end of the world without fear, but in the face of total destruction. He is not merely a temporary retreat. He is our eternal refuge and can provide strength even in the face of global destruction. (Psa 62:7, 8,145:18, Ezk471-12)
This day rejoice for God’s enduring goodness to you. For the Living God is omnipresent in His goodness, that is He pours out. Indeed we are a privileged people to receive of the goodness of who He is. Be giving thanks and praise to Christ. Look not to men to give you goodness, but look to Jesus Christ for He is the Lord of goodness. And indeed when you will look to Him. You shall not be disappointed. But you shall be given His instruction; you shall be given his direction. Rejoice for the goodness that Christ is and give Him thanks and give Him praise throughout the day.

MARCH-4-LACK OF CONFIDENCE MAKES US STRUGLE WITH
NEW CHALLENGES
Jer 1:6-Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
7: But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
8: Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. often people struggle with new challenges because they lack self confidence. They feel they have inadequate ability, training or experience. Jeremiah thought he was too young and inexperienced to be with Him. We must never allow feelings of inadequacy to keep us from obeying God’s call. He will always be with us. When you find yourself avoiding something you know you should do, be careful not to use lack of self confidence as an excuse. If God gives you a job to do, He will provide all you need to do it. (Jer 15:20, Ex 3:12. Deut 31:68, Josh 1:5, Acts 26:16, 17, Heb 13:15, 16)
As you praise God so is the goodness multiplied, rejoice for God’s omnipresent goodness, rejoice for His enduring goodness. Indeed the Living God is Lord of goodness and his goodness does choose to remain. Amongst an obedient people God’s goodness does chose to remain. God’s people are foolish in this generation. For they seek to be conformed to the world, that is they conform to death. But God hasn’t called us to conform to the world, to conform to death but he has called us to conform to Him for He is the Living God.

MARCH-5-KEEPING YOUR CONFIDENCE DESPITE PROBLEM
Mt 10:29-Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30: But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31: Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. Jesus said that God cares for the sparrows every need and we are far more valuable to God than those little birds, so valuable that God sent His only son to die for us(Jn 3:16) You are of great worth to God. You are never lost in His inventory. Because God places such value on us, we need never fear personal threats or difficult trials. These can’t dislodge God’s love and spirit from within us.
But don’t think that because you are valuable to God He will take away all your troubles. The real test of value is how something holds up under the wear and abuse of everyday life. Those who stand up for Christ in spite of their troubles truly have lasting value and will receive great rewards(Mt 5:11,12,Lk 12:4-7,Lk21:18,Acts 27:34)
Therefore rejoice be glad, give thanks that you are privileged to conform to Jesus Christ. For Him alone is the son of the Living God, there is none like Him. Rejoice and be glad for His tender mercies that He gives. Rejoice and be glad that He leads you by a plain path, rejoice that He shows to you the abundance of mercy, rejoice that you are privileged to be conformed to Christ. Do not seek for ungodliness and worldliness but seek for God’s Holiness. Seek for His Godliness seeks for His righteousness. For the more you shall conform to Christ the more you shall have His peace over you. And He shall bless you in all your labors for Him, and your hand shall be increased. It is Christ the Son of the Living God who brings the increase to the obedient. Therefore seek to be conformed to Him, not this present world nor this degenerate age, nor to this backslidden generation, but to Christ the Son of the Living God. For when you are conformed to Christ,
you bring forth life in great abundance. Rejoice for the privilege, rejoice for the honor that you arte His.

MARCH-6-CONFIDENCE TO SPEAK OUT FOR CHRIST
Acts 5:21And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel and sent to the prison to have them brought. suppose someone threatened to kill you if you didn’t stop talking about God. You might be tempted to keep quiet. But the apostles, after being threatened by powerful leaders, arrested, jailed, and finally released, went back to preaching. This was nothing less than God’s power working through this group of men (Acts 4:13). When we are convinced of the power of Christ’s resurrection and have experienced the presence of His Holy Spirit we can have the confidence to speak out for Christ.
This day when you shall look to Christ, you shall live. It is Christ the Son of the Living God who holds the very issues of life. And it is from Christ the Soon of the Living God that springs of Living waters come forth. Therefore look to Him even this day, look to Jesus Christ in every circumstance and situation. Look to Christ in every testing and trying, looking to Him in every ordeal, looking to Him and drawing the strength that He is. Indeed, if you look to Christ you shall see His life, His strength and glory. This day look to Christ and you shall live. Indeed when you shall look at situations, it shall crush you. When you shall look at situations it shall overwhelm you. When you shall look at testing and trials, it shall sweep you away, but when you look to Christ you shall live. Look to Christ even this day; rejoice for the life that He gives. Look to Christ and you shall praise and give thanks. Look to Christ and you shall rejoice, look to
Christ this day.

MARCH-7-HOW THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVES US CONFIDENCE
1 Cor 2:4And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: Paul’s confidence was not in his keen intellect or speaking ability, but in his knowledge that the Holy Spirit was helping him and guiding him. Paul is not writing of the importance of study and preparation for preaching-he had a thorough education on the scriptures. Effective preaching must combine studious preparation with the work of the Holy Spirit.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood and against principalities and powers. And the enemy is the one who stalks about seeking to devour. Therefore rebuke him, and refute him, remain steadfast in Christ. For Christ the Son of the Living God has not called us to go forth. He has called us to conquer in His name. Therefore wrestle, that is fight that is war the good war against the principalities and powers. Do not bow down to the suggestion of the wicked one, but bow down to the Living God. For He alone is our God, our maker, our refuge and our glory. Rejoice in the Lord this day, be glad, give thanks that Christ is the strength of his people. When we look to Christ, we need not be afraid but we may be made strong. When we look to Christ, He will purify and sanctify us, of the wiles of the wicked one. Look to Jesus Christ, even this day and draw the strength that He is.

MARCH-25- WHAT HOUSEHOLD IDOLS WERE
Gen 31:21So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead. many people kept small wooden or metal idols in their times. These idols were called teraptum, and they were thought to protect the home and offer advice in times of need. They had legal significance as well, for when, they were passed on to an heir, the person who received them could rightfully claim the greatest amount of the family inheritance. No wonder Laban was concerned when he realized his idols were missing. Most likely Rachel stole her father’s idols because she was afraid Laban would consult them and learn where she and Jacob had gone, or perhaps she wanted to claim the family inheritance.
This day make neither idols nor images, bow not to those things but bow to God, the father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. For He is a jealous after us. When we would create an image even in our mind and worship the same, we become a grief to Him. Make neither idols nor images but worship God, for He alone is meant to be our God. Many have departed from Christ, for they have allowed images to come into their minds and they have worshipped them.

MARCH-26- WHY JACOBS FAMILY HAD IDOLS
Gen 35:2Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments: Why did the people have these idols? Idols were sometimes seen more as good luck charms than as gods. Some Israelites, even though they worshipped God, had idols in their homes, just as some Christians today own good luck trinkets. Jacob believed that idols should have no place in his household. He wanted no good luck charms to divert the spiritual focus of his family.
Jacob ordered his household to destroy6 all their idols. An idol is anything we put before God. Unless we remove idols from our lives, they can ruin our faith. Idols don’t have to be physical objects. They can be thoughts or desires. Like Jacob, we should begin to remove the idols fro our lives at once.
Don’t allow images to come into your mind but keep your mind upon Jesus Christ. For Christ alone the so of the Living God is our Lord, our maker, our source and our King. He is our refuge and our strength. Find your peace and safety in Him and know that He leads you forth by a plain path that He directs our steps. We are living in a time when many are demented, they are insane, and they have lost their minds. They have lost their minds because they have given their minds over to demon powers, to create images in their minds. And they are consumed of the same.

MARCH-27- HOW WE WORSHIP IDOLS
Ex 20:1-And God spake all these words, saying,
2: I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. the Israelites had just come from Egypt, a land of many idols and many gods. Since each god represented a different aspect of a person’s life, it was common to worship many gods in order to have the most fulfilled life. When God told His people to worship and believe in Him, that wasn’t so hard for them. He was just one more god to add to the list. But when He said, “worship no other god than me.” That was hard for the people to accept. But if they didn’t learn that the God who led them out of Egypt was the only true God, they could not be His people, no matter how faithfully they kept the other nine commandments. Thus, God made this His first commandment and emphasized in more than the others.
Today we can allow certain values to become gods to us. Money, fame, work, or pleasure can become gods if we concentrate too much on them for meaning and security. No one sets out with the intention of worshipping these things. But by the amount of time they are occupying in our lives they can grow into gods that ultimately control our thoughts and energies. Letting God hold the central place in our lives keeps this things from turning into gods(ex 31:18,19:1, Gal 3:1-29, Ex 24:3,4,7,8,12,4:15, Rev 22:19, Ex 20:1-12,40:1-38, Gen 12:2,3 Rom 11:26)
This night have no idols ., no images before you, but worship the Lord God the father our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ alone, for he is our God and give Him thanks, and praise again and again. It is Him the Living God who shall give His peace to you. Rejoice for the peace that God gives you; rejoice that God gives you the peace of a sound mind. For if you turn aside as so many have done to images and idols you shall be consumed of the same and lose your mind.
But God doesn’t desire that for us. But His peace He desires to give us and to keep us in the same. Rejoice that you are privileged that you are called that you know God the Father of our Lord and Savior Christ as your Lord (Lev 26;1, 1 Sam 7:3, 2 Chron 31:1, Jr 1:16, Rom 1:21-24, 1 Cor 10:14, 1 Jn 5:21)

MARCH-28- LAND OF CANAAN INFESTED WITH IDOLS
Ex 23:32-Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33: They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee. God continually warned the people to avoid false religions and there idol. In Egypt they had been surrounded by idols. But leaving that idolatrous land didn’t mean they were free from idols. The land of Canaan was just as infested with idol worship. God knew His people needed extra strength so He continually emphasized guarding against the influence of idols.
Today God desires a people of a true heart. He desires people dedicated to Him, He desires people who long for His truth within them. God doesn’t desire a fickle and weary people, people who will wonder after the world, people who will wonder after ungodliness or idols. Therefore seek to purify yourself seek to desire Christ the Son of the Living God alone for He is our God and maker. For that His desire is a people who will serve Him with singleness of mind and purpose. Rejoice this day that God gives you the opportunity to be such a people, that He gives you the privilege to be His.

MARCH-29- WHY IDOLS PREVENT GOD FROMLIVING IN US
Ex 32:1-And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
2: And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
3: And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
4: And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5: And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
6: And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
7: And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
8: They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9: And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
10: Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. Idols again! Even though Israel had seen the invincible God again in action they still wanted the familiar gods they could see and shape into whatever image they desired. How much like them we are; our great temptation is to shape God into our liking, to make Him convenient to obey or ignore. God responds in great anger when His mercy is trampled on. Idols blind us to love the world, prefer to shower us. They stop God from living within us for He will not share us with any other gods. Are any idols in your life preventing God from living within you? (Acts 7:40, 1 Cor 10:7, Deut 9:8-22, Ex 32:11)
This day seek to purify yourself don’t look for another to purify you but purify yourself and the Lord God the Father of our Lord and Savior Christ will b well pleased in you. Seek to please the Lord for He has purchased us. Seek those things well pleasing Him that he may find the place of rest that Christ has for you. Rejoice this day that the Lord God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the merciful, the abundant, and the one true God.

MARCH-30- LESSON FROM THE MAKING OF CALF IDOL
Ex 32:4-And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5: And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD., the cow or calf was one of the most popular idols in Egypt. Hapi and Hathor two of the most worshipped cow gods were symbols of power and fertility therefore they were closely related to immoral sexual practices.
When the Israelites forged there cow idols some of the people may have truly believed that they were worshipping God himself. Just as Hapi was the Egyptian god of the Nile river this golden calf was the god of Israel, they had borrowed the idea for there own purposes.
Though some of the Israelites may have been sincere, they were clearly not worshipping God the right way. They were violating Gods commands- not to make or worship idols or images, (20:4, 5) as well as the command to worship him alone.
Even more disastrous they were no longer worshipping the true God for they had made God conform to their own image of Him shaping Him to meet their expectations, desires and present circumstances. They had invented a twisted image of God to justify there immoral behavior this demonstrates how easy it is for us “to make God into our own image.” Shaping our understanding of His word to agree with our actions and believes sincerity isn’t enough because there is always the danger of creating Him in the image of our needs, desires or latest ideas, His always greater than any concept or label we use. If you attempt to justify your immoral behavior by saying God doesn’t know or care, you have forced God into the role of a controllable idol. Respect for God’s word and desire to keep on knowing the true God of the Bible keeps us from false images.
This day don’t resent God’s chastening hand over you, don’t resent God’s guidance over you, for the living God cares for you. Desire that you will be redeemed, desire that you will bring forth fruits, desire that you will be a holy person. Therefore this day don’t resent the Lord for He is your God.

MARCH-31- WHY IDOL WORSHIP IS SELF CENTERED
Num 15:39And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:, idol worship is self centered, focusing on what a person ca get from serving an idol. Good luck, prosperity, long life, and success in battle were expected from God’s so were power and prestige. The worship of God is striking contrast. Believers are to be selfless rather than self centered. Instead of expecting God to serve us we are to serve Him, expecting nothing in return. We serve God for who He is, not for what we get out of Him.
Do not begrudge God’s hand over you, but rather rejoice that the leaving God is your loving Father who guides you forth. Rejoice in the leaving god the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Don’t let the seed of rebellion grow in you. But quench that thing for when rebellion does grow it resent God’s hand, but when you will be submitted to God you will cherish His Hand.

APRIL-1- HOW ISRAELITE MEN WERE DRAWN TORWARDS IDOLS
Num 25:1-And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
2: And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. , attending a local party with Moabite girls may have seemed harmless enough. But for this young Israelite men “fun” turned to tragedy. At first they didn’t think about worshipping idols. They just wanted to go the party and have fun before long they started attending local feasts and family celebrations that involved idol worship. Soon they were in over their heads, absorbed into the practices of the Heathen culture. There desire for fun and companionship caused them to loosen their spiritual commitment. What about your favorite recreation? Do they help you grow in faith, or do they push you to relax your standards? (Num 31:16, 1 Cor 10:8, Ex 34:15, 16, 1 Cor 10; 20, Ex 20:5)
This day be submitted within yourself yield yourself over to Jesus Christ for it is Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God who does chastise, who does correct and guide and He does those things because he wants the best for us. Therefore rejoice and be glad and give thanks to God, know that it is God’s goodness extended to you.

APRIL-2- WORSHIPPING THE PRINCIPLES THE IDOLS REPRESENT
Deut 4:19And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. God wasn’t excusing the other nations for their idol worship. He was simply saying while judgment may be delayed for those other nations, it will be swift and complete for Israel, because they knew God’s laws. We must keep in mind that idol worship wasn’t just keeping statues around the house-harmless lumps of clay, wood or iron. It was the commitment to certain believes and principles which the idols represented such as, (murder, prostitution, cruelty in war, self centeredness). Because God had so clearly revealed Himself in Israel’s history the Israelites had no excuse for worshipping anyone except the true God.
Give thanks to God today. There are many cursed upon the earth. There are millions of them wrenched in their wrenched ness. There are millions of them dying in their sinfulness but God has called us to intercede for them that they will be spared, that they would be brought forth, tat they would be freed, that they would be given the life.

APRIL-3- ISRAELITES COULDN’T STAY AWAY FROM IDOLS
Josh 5:1And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel., the Israelites spent 39 years in the desert unnecessarily because they were terrified of the Canaanites they underestimated God’s ability. There first attempt to enter the Promised Land had failed (Num 13, 14). Now Israel saw that the Canaanites were terrified of their army. They had heard about Israel’s great victories through God (Josh 2:9-11). Their last hope was that the Jordan River would slow Israel down and discourage them from entering the Land. But news that the Israelite had crossed the Jordan on dry land caused any courage the Canaanites still had to melt
away.
Do not underestimate God. If you are faithful; to God as the Israelites were, God can cause great opposition to melt away. He can change the attitudes of those who oppose Him.
The Canaanites and the Amorites were the two major groups living in Canaan at the time \of Israel’s invasion. The Canaanites worshipped a variety of gods but Baal was there favorite. The Israelites continually turned to baal after entering Canaan. The Amorites gods also infested Israel worship and turned people away from worshipping the true god. Worshipping this false gods eventually brought about Israel’s downfall
Indeed the blood has been shed and the sacrifice been paid. And the living God the Father of our Lord Christ desires a remnant to spared. Therefore continue steadfast in all prayers and supplications, for when you would look upon the condition of cursed men, cursed women, cursed children, indeed they were wrenched but by God’s mercy they may be brought forth and freed from the curse and brought into His blessedness.

APRIL-4- IDOLS GET IN THE WAY OF WORSHIPPING GOD
Josh 24:23Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel. Joshua told the Israelites to destroy their idols. TO follow God requires destroying whatever gets in the way of worshipping Him. Like the Israelites we have idols in our lives-greed, wrong priorities, jealousy, prejudice-that gets in the way of worshipping God. God is not satisfied if we merely hide these idols. We must completely remove them from our lives. (Judges 10:15, 16, 1 Sam 7:3, 1 Cor 6:16-18)
Do not cease in the labors or in your prayers and supplications but continue steadfast. For there are millions of those who are cursed upon the earth, but God reaches out in mercy when he hears the pleas of the intercessors. He reaches out in mercy when we continue to be his co-laborers. He reaches out in mercy when we will go to the fields of harvest. Therefore continue steadfast, do not take the fact that God has blessed us for granted, but rather reach out to the perishing. For when we will reach out the living God the father of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ will extend our hands and they shall be his hand that goes with us. Rejoice for the privilege to see the curses redeemed.

APRIL-5- WHY IDOLS WERE SO BAD IN GODS SIGHT
Judges 2:12-And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
13: And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
14: And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies. God often saved his harshest criticism and punishment for those who worshipped idols. Why were idols so bad in Gods sight? To worship an idol violated two of the Ten Commandments. (Exo20:3, 4). Bowing to an idol meant that a person did not believe God was the one true God. The Canaanites had gods for almost every season, activity or place. To them Jehovah was just another god to add to their collection of gods. Israel by contrast was to worship only Jehovah. Idol worship reduces God to the level of what he created, attributing his unique qualities to what he created. Idols represent sensual, cernal and immoral aspects of human nature. God’s nature however is spiritual and moral. Adding the worship of idols to
the worship of God could not be tolerated.
We battle not against flesh and blood, but we battle against principalities and powers. And there are principalities that are inherent in the land. That is this land. And when Gods people do not battle against those principalities and powers then the whole world lies in darkness. For truly the demon forces of antiquity are still there they are in the land, and the hidden areas are still here in the land. And the blood that has been shed, it is still here in the land, and the demon forces look for human beings to inhabit. They look for bodies to come through and because Gods people have not kept the standard whored themselves out to idols, and because they have given themselves out to worldliness, the demons that are in the land, the spirits that are of antiquity, they rise-they have risen up and they are overwhelming and overtaking.

APRIL-6- SOLOMON LED INTO IDOLATRY
1 Kings 11:3And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. . For all his wisdom Solomon had some weak spots. He could not say "no"to compromise or lustful desires. Whether he married to strengthen political alliances or to gain personal pleasure, these foreign wives led him into idolatry. You may have strong faith, but you have weak spots-and it is at this places that temptation usually strikes. Strengthen and protect your weak areas because a chain is only as strong as its weakest link of a person as strong and wise as Solomon could fall so can we.
Demons come through many faces, many guises and many movements. But they are the same demon forces sent to destroy. When Gods people will let down the standard and will not walk soberly redeeming the time, and the fear of God, those demons mount up with a great offensive. So it is in this day it is the demons who have mounted us with a great offensive. It is the demons who have been here from antiquity who inhabit human bodies and human forces. We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers. Therefore the Lord commends us to stay alert in the spirit, do not be lulled nor lured into compromises with those forces. But recognize that they are enemies of Gods truth they are destroyers of human souls. They have destroyed even nations for they have led them into such decay in Gods sight that has done away with them. Therefore, do not be lured, and do not make compromises with the spirits for they are ruler forces in this land.
For indeed these are the continents of death and death will loom again if Gods people do not keep the standard?

APRIL-7- IDOLATRY GRADUALLY ENTICED SOLOMON
1 Kings 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.,9-And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
10: And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded., Solomon handled great pressures in running the government but he couldn’t handle the pressures from his wives who wanted him to worship their gods. In marriage and other close relationships, it is difficult ton resist pressure to compromise. Our love leads to identity with the desires of those we care about.
Faced with such pressure, Solomon at first resisted it, maintaining pure faith. Then he tolerated more widespread practice of idolatry. Finally he himself became involved in idolatry worship. He rationalized away potential danger to himself and the kingdom. It is because we naturally wish to identify with those we love that God asked Solomon (and asks us) to marry those who do not share our commitment to Him 1 Kn 8:61)
Solomon didn’t turn away from God all at once or in a brief moment. His spiritual coldness started with a minor departure from God’s law (3:1) over the years that little sin grew until it resulted in Solomon’s downfall. A little sin can be the first step in turning away from God. It is not the sins we don’t know about, but the sins we excuse that cause us the greatest trouble. We must never let any sin go unchallenged. Sin spreads like a deadly cancer? Don’t excuse it. Confess it to God and ask Him for strength to resist the temptation. (1 Kn 3:5, 9:2, 6:12, (:6, 7)
God has called us to be standard bearers, therefore stay alert and maintain God’s standard, continue to declare Jesus Christ as He is continue to separate from idols. Keep UN putted from the world and remain in Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God, for this we will remain in Christ and His word shall stand in us. He shall stand in us, but if we bow down to idols, we will be swallowed up by the same spirit and darkness shall overtake us and overwhelm us.

APRIL-8- JEROBOAM SETS UP CALF IDOLS
1 Kn 12:28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt., Jeroboam shrewdly placed his calf idols in Bethel and Dan strategic locations. Bethel was just ten miles north of Jerusalem on the main roads, enticing the citizens from the North to stop there instead of traveling the rest of the way to Jerusalem. Dan was the northern most city in Israel, so people living in the north far from Jerusalem were attracted to its convenient location. As the leader of the northern kingdom, Jeroboam wanted to establish his own worship centers, otherwise his people would make regular trips to Jerusalem, and his authority would be undermined. Soon this substitute religion had little in common with true faith in God.
All Jewish men were required to travel to the temple three times each year (Deut 16:16) but Jeroboam set up his own worship centres and told his people it was too much trouble to travel all the way to Jerusalem. Those who obeyed Jeroboam were disobeying God. Some, ideas, although practical, may include suggestions that lead you away from God. Don’t let anyone talk you out of doing what is right by telling you that your actions are not worth the effort. Do what God wants no matter what the costs in time, energy, reputation or resources.
Thank God this day that He gives you the truth and the light. Continue to bear that truth, and he will keep you continue to desire God’s light and it shall be given to you for God’s truth is stronger than any demon forces and when you will desire and love the truth, the truth shall set you free. Rejoice this day that you are given God’s word, His light and His glory. Again, make no compromises with the cultures of the dead.

APRIL-9 IDOLATRY PROMOTED BY JEZEBEL
1 Kn 16:31And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him. Ahab’s evil wife Jezebel, came from Phoenician city of Tyre where her father had been a high priest and eventually king. Jezebel worshipped the god Baal. In order to please her, Ahab built a temple and an altar for Bal. (16:32), thus promoting idolatry and leading the nation into sin. (18:18)
The Living God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the self existent one and He reveals Himself. He reveals Himself to those with hunger and thirst for Him, He reveals Himself to those He desires to Reveal Himself to, For He purposes it in hearts to long for Him.

APRIL-10- WHY JEHU DIDN’T DESTROY JEROBOAMS CALF IDOLS.
2 Kin 10:28-Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
29: Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.
30: And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.
31: But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin., why did Jehu destroy the idols of Baal but not the calf idols in Dan and Bethel? Jehu’s motives may have been more political than spiritual. (1) If Jehu had destroyed the calf idols, his people would have traveled, to the temple in Jerusalem, in the rival Southern Kingdom, and worshipped there. (This is why Jeroboam set them up in the first place 1 Kings 12:25-33). (2) Baal worship was associated with the dynasty of Ahab, so it was politically advantageous to destroy Baal. The golden calves on the other hand had a longer history in the Northern Kingdom and were valued by all political factions. (3) Baal worship was anti-God, but the golden calves were thought by many to be visible representations of God himself, even though God’s law stated clearly that such worship was idolatrous (Ex
20:3-6). Like Jehu it is easy to denounce the sins of others while tolerating sin in our own lives. (1 Kin 12:28, 29, 2 Kin 9:6, 7, 2 Kin 10:35, 2
Kin 13:1, 10, 14:23, 15:8, 12, 1 Kin 14:16)
God reveals Himself to the sons of men when they will desire His to see Him, when they will desire His presence. Likewise God reveals in His wrath and His fury to the ungodly, to the wicked and the perishing, for He shows them His anger side. This day rejoice that Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God who brought you into blessedness and mercy, for there are many who see God in His wrath and anger. Likewise you are privileged to see God in His blessedness, His goodness and His mercy revealed. Rejoice even this day that the Lord is the self existed God that He reveals Himself. Thank the Lord that there is no other god like to Him, that he alone does stand, that He is the I AM GOD, that you are privileged to be His.

APRIL-11- MANASSEH SET UP IDOLS IN THE TEMPLE.
2 Kin 23:6And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people., the shameful idol Asherah was an idol the evil king Manasseh had set up in God’s temple (21:7). Asherah is most identified as a see goddess and the mother of several gods including Baal. (Deut 16:21, 1 King 14:24, 15:12)
The living God is the peace of His people. And blessed are the people who see Him as their God, who bow to Him, who bow to sovereignty and who allow God to rule over them, for there is no end to the blessedness that the living God does pour forth and give to His own. This day have no companionship with idols but love the Living God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. For when we will love the Lord He will keep us.

APRIL-12- HOW WORSHIPPING IDOLS AFFECT OTHERS
1 Chron 9:1So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for their transgression., the entire nation of Judah suffered the consequences of idol worship. Idol worship is not just bowing down to status of wood or stone, it is making anything more important than God-possessions, money, reputation, or even a good friend or a worthy charity. Although every person in Judah did not worship idols, the entire nation was carried away in captivity. Everyone was affected by the sin of some. Even if we don’t participate in a certain widespread wrongdoing, we will still be affected by those who do. It is not enough to say “I don’t do it.” We must speak out against the sins of our society. (Ezra 2:59)
Let God drive out every wicked thing, every vile thing that we be a purified people. Do not despise God’s chastening hand but rather welcome the same for it is God’s love for us. When God chastens us, He drives out that which is repulsive; He drives out that which is corruption. Thank God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for He is Living God who rules over us. Blessed are we when we shall accept God’s sovereignty, mastery and rule over us. Rejoice even this night for the privilege to be ruled over by the Living God. For indeed there is none like Him. Rejoice and be glad, give the thanks to God that He is our master.

APRIL-13- DAVIDS DECISIVE ACTION AGAINST IDOLS
1 Chron 14:12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire. David’s quick and decisive action against idols helped make him great. He was obeying the law that said “you must break down the heathen altars and shatter the obelisks and cut up the shameful images and burn the idols (duet 7:5) failing to destroy the idols was the greatest weakness of David’s successors.
The soldiers wanted to keep souvenirs from the battle, but David ordered them to burn the idols. The only proper response to sin is to get rid of it completely. You cannot be a follower of God while continuing to hold on parts of your past life that keep God from being the control of your thoughts and actins. Destroy whatever takes Gods rightful place in your life and follow Him with complete devotion.
When we will continually thank God and praise Him, His goodness does remain. For it gives Him pleasure to pour out his goodness upon His people. It gives Him pleasure to pour out His goodness upon His chosen. Therefore continually thank and praise God, for he alone is our God, our refuge, and our mercy.

APRIL-14- IDOLATRY IS COMMITING SPIRITUAL ADULTERY
1 Sam 1:21-And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
22: But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever. God compares His relationship with His people to marriage. The people had turned from the worship of the true God to worshipping idols. Idolatry, outward or inward, is spiritual adultery, breaking our commitment to God in order to love something else. Jesus described the people of His day as adulterous even though they were religiously strict. The church is the wife of Christ (rev 19:7) are we an impure bride or a faithful one.
Thank the Lord God father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ even this day, that it is Him the living God who does lead us forth by a plain path, who does direct our steps, who does instruct us in the way of His righteousness. Bow down low before the Lord and give Him praise continually for indeed when we will praise Him, when we will thank Him, when we will bow down low before Him, he will continue in his mercy, goodness and he will continue to declare who he is. For truly when Gods people are well pleased to serve Him, he is well pleased in them.

APRIL-15- HOW MONEY BECOMES IDOLATRY.
Job 13:24- Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
25: Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
26: For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
27: Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
28: And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten. In these verses Job says that depending on wealth for happiness is idolatry and denying the God of heaven. We excuse our society’s obsession with money and possessions as a necessary evil or “the way it works” in the modern world. But every society in every age has valued the power and prestige that money brings. True believers must purge themselves of the deep seated desire for more power, prestige and possessions.
Stop and consider what the Lord says to you that are out of your mouth, you may utter praises or thanksgiving or you may curse and despise your day. Do not despise your day but rejoice this day, be glad and give thanks. The Lord is ever present, merciful and glorious. Therefore thank Him, praise Him and know that hi is your maker, your God and your source.

APRIL-16- TRUSTING THE CREATION MORE THAN THE CREATOR
Psa 4:2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah. Idol worship was a recurring problem for Israel throughout its history. The Israelites had entered a land filled with idols and had not destroyed them as God had commanded, therefore, idols continued to be a temptation for them (Judges 2:1-3). Worshipping idols of wood and stone mocks God, the creator of wood and stone. Worshipping money or statues also mocks God, the creator of wealth and worth. We worship idols today when we trust the creation to meet our needs more than the creator himself.
In the giving of praise and in the giving of thank, you will find that life does not come forth. For even though things may look dreary or defeated, when you thank God and praise Him, his life does come forth. Thank and praise God again and again. Even this day be glad that the Lord, father of our Lord and Savior is your God. Be glad that God is your maker, your source and you’re King. Thank God and praise Him.

APRIL-17- A MAN MADE OBJECTIVE CANT REDEEM A MAN
1 Sam 44:22 God said that we should serve our creator (17:7, 40:28, 43:15, and 45:9) Idolaters do the opposite-serving or worshipping what they have made, rather than the one who made them. Our creator paid the price to set us free from our sins against Him. No idol however, ever created anybody, and no idol can redeem us from our sins. (Mt 6:12, 14, 15, Lev 4:20, Mt 26:28, Isa 59:20)
God has not called us to live in a place of despair, but he has called us to live in a place of joy. Therefore rejoice in Him this day. There are those who create there own death, they put an end to what God desires to do. They bring about there own demise and bring about their own despair. We are creators therefore create the good things that God does for us. Create the joy, the thanksgiving, the praise that the living God, the father of our Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ desires us to have.

APRIL-18- THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IDOLATRY AND CHRISTIANITY
Habakkuk 1:14-And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
15: They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16: Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous. Babylon was proud of its military might, strategies, armies and weapons with no regard for humanity, the armies brought home riches, booty, slaves and tribute from the nations they plundered. Such is the essence of idolatry-asking the gods we make to help us get all we want. The essence of Christianity is asking God who made us, to help us give all we can in service to Him.
Thank God again and again that the waters of life are in Him. Thank God again and again that He is the omnipresent God. Thank God that you are privileged to draw of Him, that you are privileged to abide in Him. Thank God even this night that he flows freely into us, that he gives life to us. Thank God that we are his people. Thank God that he lives and abides in the midst of us.

APRIL-19- HOW WE CAN COMMIT IDOLATRY WITH GOD’S WORD.
Mk 7:8- So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
9: And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away. , the Pharisees added hundreds of their own petty rules and regulations to Gods holy laws, and then tried to force people to follow them. These men claimed to know Gods will in every detail of life. Religious leaders today still try to add rules and regulations to God’s word, causing much confusion among believers. It is idolatry to claim your interpretation of God’s word is as important as God’s word itself. It is especially dangerous to set up non biblical standards for others to follow. Instead look to Christ for guidance about your own behavior and; let Him lead others in the details of their lives. (Mk 7:8-13, 10:4-9, Ex 4:15, Rev 22:19).
This day does not be ashamed to name the Lord, the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as your God. Do not be ashamed to declare Him as the I AM. For the stands with a people who are not ashamed of Him, but a people who are glad that He is their God and their Savior, their redeemer and their source. Rejoice even this night that He is our God. Rejoice that we are called to be His people. Rejoice again and again that the waters of His word do flow freely to us.

APRIL-20- WHY WOULD CHRISTIANS EAT MEAT
OFFERED TO IDOLS
Rom 14:2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God., How would Christians end out eating meat that had been offered to idols? The ancient system of sacrifice was at the centre of the religious, social, and domestic life of the Roman world. After a sacrifice was presented to a god in a heathen temple, only part of it was burned, the remainder was often sent to the market to be sold. Thus a Christian might easily-even unknowingly buy such meat in the market place or eat at the home of a friend. Should a Christian question the source of his meat? Some thought there was nothing wrong with eating meat that had been offered to idols, since idols were not real gods. Others carefully checked the source of their meat, or else gave up meat altogether, in order to avoid a guilty conscience. The problem was especially acute for Christians who
had once been idol worshippers. For them such a strong remainder of their pagan days might weaken their new found faith. Paul also deals with these problems in 1 Cor
8.
God is stronger than the forces of wickedness; God is greater than the powers of darkness. Therefore do not look at those things and grow fearful, but look to the Living God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and be made strong. For the power that is in Him, the power that is in His name is invincible. Therefore continue to look to Him for he is our deliverer, our strength and our glory. Continue to believe in Him, and trust in Him and know that He is able. For indeed there is none like Him, and when we shall believe in Him we too shall be made strong. Believe in Jesus Christ even this night trust in Him. Know that He is able to drive out the forces of destruction. Rejoice for God’s power and mercies. Thank God that He alone is our God, Maker and Source.

APRIL-21- THE APPEAL OF IDOLS
1 Kn 15:13And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron. On the surface, the lives of the kings don’t make sense. How could they run to idolatry so fast when they had God’s word at least some of it, prophets and the example of David. Here are some of the enticement of idols (Deut 16:21).

POWER
The appeal of idols: The people wanted authority from both God and the priests. They wanted religion to fit their lifestyles not have their lifestyles fit their religion.
Modern parallel: People do not want to answer to a greater authority instead to a greater authority. Instead of having power over others, God wants us to have the Holy Spirits power to help others.

PRESSURE
The appeal of idols worship exalted sensuality without responsibility or guilt. People acted out of vicious and sensuous personalities of gods they worshipped thus gaining approval for their degraded lives.
Modern parallel: People deity pleasure seeking it at the expense of everything else. Instead of seeking pleasure that leads to long range disaster, God calls us to seek the kind of pleasure that leads to long range rewards.

PASSION
The appeal of idols; mankind was reduced to little more than animals. The people did not have to be viewed as unique individuals but could be exploited sexually, politically and economically.
Modern parallel; today man is being reinterpreted as an animal where sinful drives and passions are condoned. Instead of seeking passion that exploits others, God calls us to redirect our passions to areas that build others.

PRAISE AND POPULARITY
The Appeal of idols; The high and Holy nature of God’s eras replaced by gods who were more a reflection of human nature, thus more culturally suitable to the people. These gods no longer required sacrifice just a token of appeasement.
Modern parallel; sacrifice such as self inflicted punishment making no sense. Success is to be sought at all costs. Instead of seeking praise for ourselves, God calls us to praise Him and those who honor Him.

As societies change and evolve, they often throw out norms and values no longer considered necessary or acceptable. Believers must be careful not to follow society’s example if it discards God’s Word. When society does that, only godlessness and evil remain.
Trust in the Lord and believe Him, know that He is able. Know that it is the Living God who is our strength, high tower and defense. Find your refuge not in arms of man, nor in liars but always in Christ.

APRIL-22
THE APPEAL OF IDOLS

2 King 13:1-In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years.
2: And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
3: And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael, all their days. Why did people continually turn to idols instead of to God, idols were;
1. Tangible
2. Morally similar, had human characteristics
3. Comprehensible
4. Able to be manipulated
God is;
1. Intangible
2. Morally dissimilar had divine characteristics
3. Incomprehensible
4. Not be able to be manipulated
Worshiping idols involved;
1. Materialism
2. Sexual immorality
3. Doing whatever a person wanted
4. focusing on self
Worshiping God involved;
1. Sacrifice
2. Purity and commitment
3. Doing what God wants
4. Focusing on others. Judges 2:14, 2 king 8:12
Indeed it is the Lord, the Living God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who shall keep us and guide us, and continue to show us His way. Rejoice and be glad that it is the Living God who has made the way for us to live in His kingdom. Rejoice and be glad in the lord even this day for he is our maker, our keeper and our God. He is our source, our strength, trust Him even this day, and know that he is able.

APRIL-23
ARE YOU WORSHIPING IDOLS?
Isa 44: 9-They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
10: Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?
11: Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.
12: The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
13: The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
14: He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
15: Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.
16: He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
17: And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.
18: They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
19: And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
20: He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?.Isaiah tells us, “What fools they are who manufacture idols for their Gods. Their hopes remain unanswered”. we think of idols as statues of wood or stone, but in reality an idol is anything natural that is given sacred value and power. If your answer to any of the following questions is anything or anyone other then God you may need to check out who or what you are ultimately worshiping.
1. Who created me?
2. Whom do I ultimately trust?
3. Whom do I look to for ultimate truly?
4. Whom do I look to for security and happiness?
5. Who is in my future?
Isaiah describes how people make their own gods. How absurd to make a god from the same tree that gives firewood .Do we make our own gods-money, tame or power? If we make a god, we cannot expect it to empower our lives.
It is the living God who shall keep us therefore keep your vision single. For though the enemy may threaten, though the enemy may roar, it is not the enemy we need to fear. But we need to walk in the owe some fear of the living God the father of our lord and savior Jesus Christ and ate will keep us. Rejoice and be good in the lord even this day. For it is the living God who keep us. Thank God that it is Him who keeps us forth by a plain path, that He directs us, that He instructs us, that He guides us in the way. Thank the lord that is our God and our maker, and that He keeps us.

APRIL-24
MAJOR IDOLS MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE
ISA 48:1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.

The Israelites felt confident because they lived in Jerusalem, the city of
But their was false security because they did not depended on God. Do you feel secure because you go to church or live in certain country. Heritage, building, or nation cannot give us a relationship with God, we must truly depended on Him personally with all our hearts and minds. (Jer 4:2, 5:2 Titus 1:16)

The living God is our refuge and our glory, He is the mercy and our God. He is our high tower; we may run into Him and be safe. Therefore this day use the weapons of war that He gives. But when it is time to run into the living God the father of our lord and savior Jesus Christ and be safe, go into Him. Think not that the strength is your own, but realizes that the strength comes of the lord, the living God. And give the thanks and praise to Him, for it is through Him that the powers of darkness are brought down. It is through the lord that we shall have the necks of our enemies. It is the through the lord that we rule and reign in dominion force. Therefore look to Christ this day, draw the strength of Him and give glory to Him. For indeed He is refuge and glory. Indeed He is our strength and power. Indeed He is our high tower. Rejoice and be grad even this day that it is the lord, the living God, who does lead the battle, who does under gird and
strengthen. It is the living God who does cover us. Therefore rejoice and be exceeding glad, do not run from battle, but obey God’s command and go into battle as the living God would direct you.

Thank God even this day that the demons that are in the land, God shall gives us victory over them as we stay steadfast with Him, as we remains true and diligent, He will lead us into victory. Therefore rejoice, give thanks and be glad.
God’s cry does go forth, even to the ends of the earth, and the living God does call forth His spirit people. The ones who will choose Him, the one who will live and abide in Him. They shall come forth at His call. For God is not hampered, He cause out the sons of men, and when the fools and the liars have thought that God is finished with men, then does He rise up and call forth those who will obey Him in spirit.

JESUS DEATH PROOF OF HIS UNCONQUERABLE LOVE
Rom 8:35-Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36: As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37: Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39: Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. These verses contain one of the most comforting promises in scripture in many forms, persecution illness, imprisonment even death. These could course them to fear that they have been abandoned by Christ. But Paul exclaims that is impossible to be separated from Christ. His love. Nothing can stop His constant presence with us. God tells us how to greet His love is so that we will feel totally secure in Him. If we believe these over whelming assurance we will not be afraid.
Rev 6:2 Four horses appear as the first four seals are broken. The horses represent God’s judgment of people’s sin and rebellion. God is directing human history even using His enemies to unknowingly accomplish His purposes. The four horses are a fore state of the find judgments yet to come. Some view this chapter as a parallel to the Oliver Discourse (Mt 24). The imagery of four horses is also found in Zecheria 6:1-8, Rev 19:11, Isa 66:19, Don 7:7, 8.
The lord is the invincible God. Therefore believe Him, trust Him, and know that is able. For indeed there is none like Him, for He is the invincible God. When we will hold to His word, when we will hold to His promise and His declaration we will not be shaken for He is the invincible God. And the ones who run into Him, they shall keep for He will keep them. Therefore even this day, run into Christ know that He is the son of the invincible God.

THE ULTIMATE VICTORY ALREADY WON

His disciple Jn 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.. Jesus sums all He has told this night tying together themes from Jn 14:27-29, 16:1-4 and 16:9-11. With these words He is setting His disciples to take courage. In spite of the invincible struggles they will face they are not alone besides, the ultimate victory has already been won! (Jn 17:14, 16, 7:7, Rev 13:8)
This day know that you may believe Jesus Christ the son of the living God and trust Him, and know that He is able. For indeed there is none like Him. He is the true remaining God. Rely upon Christ for when we rely upon Him, we rely upon strength and life. He is the invincible God. This day if the enemy would muster his assault to get you into unbelief, run into Jesus Christ is the son of living God for He is invincible and shall keep you.

THE ULTIMATE VICTORY A MOTIVE TO SERVICE
1cor 15:54-So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55: O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56: The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57: But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58: Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. Satan seemed to be victorious in the Garden of Eden (Gen 3) and when Jesus died on the cross (Mark 15:22-24) But God turned Satan apparent victory into defeat. When Jesus Christ rose from the dead (Colossians 2:15; Heb 2:14, 15) Thus death is no longer a source of dread or fear Christ overcome it, and one day we will also death has been defeated and we have hope beyond the graves ( Isa 25:8, Hos 13:4, Rom 3:23, Gal 2:15,16,19, 3:1-29, Ex 19:1.

Paul said that because of the resurrection, nothing we do is wasted. Sometimes we hesitate to do good because we don’t see the results. But if we can maintain a heavenly perspective, we understand that we don’t often see the good that results from our efforts. If we truly believe that Christ has won the ultimate victory, it must affect the way we live right now. Do not let discouragements over an apparent look of results keep you from working? Do the good that you have opportunity to do, knowing your work will have eternal results.

When God’s people look away they go forward, but when we look away then do we fall away. Look not away but look to Jesus Christ the son of the Living God. Train yourself, to keep your vision single. And the Lord is the invincible God, who shall take you on ware, who shall take you forward, who shall take you upward, who shall shower you with blessedness. Rejoice again and again and again that the Lord is the invincible God.

WE CAN TRUST CHRIST TO BEAR OUR HEAVY LOAD
1Jn5:3-For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4: For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Jesus never promised that obeying Him would be easy. Hard work however, can be rewarding if we value its results. Another way of translating the last half of verse 3 is this, “His commands are not burdensome”. The hard work and self-discipline of serving Christ is no burden to those who love Him. And if our load starts to feel heavy, we can always trust Christ to help to help us bear it (Rev 13:15, 11:3-8, Jn 7:7)

This day thank God and praise Him, for He is the invincible God and there is none like Him. Thank God that He alone, shall prevail. For indeed when we will thank and praise God we will see there is no end to Him. There is no end to the goodness that He is, there is no end to His omnipresence, and there is no end to His power.

DO NOT PLACE EMPHASIS ON SPECULATION
Rev 10:3-4And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
4: And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. Throughout history people have wanted to know what would happen in the future and God reveals some of it in this book. But John was stopped from revealing certain parts of His vision. An angel also told the prophet Daniel that some things he saw were not to be revealed yet to everyone (Daniel 12:9) and Jesus told his disciples that the time of the end is known by no one but God (Mt 13:32-33) God has revealed all we need to know to live for him now. In our desire to be ready for end, we must not place more emphasis on speculation about the last days than on living godly lives while wanting (Psa 29:3-9, Dn 8:26, 12:4,9)

Rev 14:14-And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15: And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16: And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17: And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. This is an image of judgment, Christ is separating the faithful from the unfaithful like a farmer harvesting his crops. This is a time of joy for the Christian who have been persecuted and martyred they will receive their long a waited rewards Christians should not fear the last judgment. Jesus said “ I say emphatically that anyone who listen to my message and believe God who sent me has eternal life, and will never be damned for his sins but already passed out of death life (Jn 5:2, Rev 19:8, 1:13)
Rev 19:11-21 John's vision shifts against Heaven. Opens and Jesus appears, this time not as a lamb, but as a warrior on a white horse (symbolizing victory) Jesus come first as a lamb to be sacrifice for sin, but He will return as a conqueror and king of execute judgment (2Thes 1:7-10). His first coming brought forgiveness His second will bring judgment. The battle lines have now been drawn between God and ride onto the field. (Rev 6:2, Psa 45:4, Mt 21:2-5, Rev 20:4-6, Dent 30:3, Acts 1:9-11)
This day thank God and praise Him for indeed He is the invincible God. Stand upon that power, stand upon that name, stand upon the blood Christ stand for us. For He is the invincible God. When we continue to believe in Jesus Christ the son of the living God, no power out of hell shall prevail. Not because of whom we are but because of whom He is. Therefore know that the lord God the father of our lord and savior Jesus Christ is the invincible God.

DON’T BE TROUBLED NOR AFRAID
Jn 14:27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. The result of the holy spirit work in our lives is deep and resting peace unlike worldly peace which is usually defined as the absence of conflict, this peace is confident assurance in any circumstance, with this kind of peace, we no need to fear the present or the future. If your life his true peace (Philip 4:6, 7) Mt 10:34, John 16:33, Col 3:15 Jn 14:1, 28-29, 15:18, 19, 7:7, Rev 13:8.
The burden that the living God gives is not grievous, but He gives the grace to bear under grievous burdens know that they have not come of Jesus Christ the son of the living God. For G od give us the grace to bear the burden that He gives, and He does not put more upon the man or woman then they can bear. But He gives them the strength.

MUST THROUGH MANY TRIBULATIONS ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD
Act 14:21-22.And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,
22: Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. Paul and Barnabas returned to visit the believers in all cities where they had recently been threatened and physically attached. They knew the danger they faced, yet they believed they had a responsibility to encourage the new believers. No matter how inconvenient or uncomfortable the task may seem, we must never fail to support new believers who need our help and encouragement. It was not convenient or comfortable for Jesus to go to the cross for us.

Look to Jesus Christ the son of the living God this day know that he is your strength know that he is your grace and glory. Know that you may cry out to Him and He will strengthen you. And do not take upon yourself false burden of Gods ‘spirit. For in the spirit of God there is life, peace, safety and strength.

WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD THROUGH CHRIST
ROM 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: we now have peace with God, which differs from peaceful feelings such as assurance, security and confidence. Peace with God means that we have been reconciled with Him. There is no more hostility between us, no sin blocking our relationship with Him. Peace with God is possible only because Jesus paid the price for our sins with His death on the cross (Rom 10:4, 6,8,9,10,17, Gen3:20, Heb 11:39, Rom 8:37.
This day rejoice for the burden of the Holy Spirit that He gives to you. Thank God even this day that you are privileged to be His colabourer, to be led forth by a plain paths, to be given the strength for the burdens that He gives. For indeed He will not put more upon a man or a woman than can bear but He will give them the strength to bear the same.

CHRIST HAS PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIS FEET
1 Cor 15:27For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. Paul’s point is that the resurrected Christ will conquer all evil including death. Although God the Father and God the son are equal, each has special rules (15:28And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.). Christ is not inferior to the Father but His rule is to defeat all evil on earth. First He defeated sin and death on the cross and in the final days He will defeat Satan and all evil. World events may seem scarce but God is in control allowing evil to remain for a time until He present o God a perfect new world. Psa 8:6.
This day look not around yourself or around to the world, for the world has no solutions but look to Jesus Christ the son of the Living God and know that He is your maker and He will give the solutions to you. There is nothing too hard for Him and He leads you forth who does direct you who does instruct you and guide you in the way. Thank God for His counsel which causes you to walk in peace.

GOD CAUSES US TO TRIUMP IN CHRIST

2 Cor 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. In the middle of discussing His unscheduled trip to Macedonia, Paul breaks off into a discussion about his Ministry, his relationship with the Corinthian believers and the way God has used him to help others whenever he want (12:14 – 7:4) In 7:5, Paul resumes the story of his trip to Macedonia.
This day Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God is the resurrection and the life He is the resurrection and the life. For though He has lain in the grave He is no longer in the grave. But He has risen. Therefore know that He will cause us to rise. Do not seek to remain in the grave. But know He is the resurrection and the life. And know that risen life in Him. Know what it is to come up out of the place of death and to go forward in the life.

CHRIST IS OUR PEACE
Ephesians 2:14For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Christ has broken down the walls people build between themselves. Since these walls have been removed we can come to real unity with people who are not like us. This is true reconciliation. Because of Christ’s death, we are all one family (2:14), our anger against each other has disappeared (2:16) we can all approach God through the Holy Spirit (2:18). We are no longer strangers to God (2:19) and we are all part of a beautiful temple with Christ as our corner stone (2:20, 21).

There are many barriers that can divide us from other Christians, age, appearance, intelligence, political persuasion, economic status, race, theological perspective. One of the best ways to stifle Christ’s love is to cater only to those for whom we have natural affinity. Fortunately, Christ has knocked down the barriers and unified all believers in one family. His cross should be the focus of our unity. The Holy Spirit helps us look beyond the barriers to the unity we are called to enjoy.
Rejoice this day that it is Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God who gives the life to us. For indeed, when we will look to Christ we will live. When we shall partake of Him, the life will be abundant. This day, Christ’s life is here for us. He is the resurrection and the life. Give Him thanks and praise that the newness of life is here for us. We may partake give thanks and praise.

CHRIST HAS RECONCILLED ALL THINGS TO HIMSELF
Col. 1:20And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. Christ’s death provided a way for all people to come to God. It cleared away the sin that keeps us from having a right relationship with our creator. This does not mean that everyone has been saved but that the way has been cleared for anyone who will trust Christ to be saved. God gives salvation to all those who by faith accept Christ’s death for themselves (Heb 7:27, Gen 4:4, Heb 10:’18, 2 Cor 5:18, 10 Col 21.22.
Do not be weary in well doing but look to Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God. For He is the source of strength and He is the source of stability. And when we shall look to Him, He will stabilize and strengthen us. He will lead us forth by a plain path. God’s way is perfect just and undefiled.

MAY-7
AS MANY AS GOD LOVES HE REBUKES AND CHASTENS
Rev 3:19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. God would discipline this lukewarm church unless they ruined from their indifference toward Him. His purpose in discipline is not to punish but to bring people back to Him. Are you lukewarm in your devotion to God? God may discipline you to help you out of your indifferences but He uses only loving discipline. You can avoid Gods discipline by drawing near to Him again through confession prayer worship and studying His word. Just as the spark of love can be rekindled in marriage so the Holy spirit can reignite our zeal for God when we allow Him to work in our hearts (Rev 3:3,19,9:20,21, Mt. 3:2, Acts 17:30)
Therefore rejoice in Gods way when God would put burdens upon those who are in need of burdens, let them bear their burdens for by the same they shall be strengthened. It is the living God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who gives the strength to those who cry out to Him. Rejoice, be glad and gives thanks.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

Repentance
There are three Greek words used in the New Testament to denote
repentance. (1.) The verb _metamelomai_ is used of a change of
mind, such as to produce regret or even remorse on account of
sin, but not necessarily a change of heart. This word is used
with reference to the repentance of Judas (Matt. 27:3).

(2.) Metanoeo, meaning to change one's mind and purpose, as
the result of after knowledge. This verb, with (3) the cognate
noun _metanoia_, is used of true repentance, a change of mind
and purpose and life, to which remission of sin is promised.

Evangelical repentance consists of (1) a true sense of one's
own guilt and sinfulness; (2) an apprehension of God's mercy in
Christ; (3) an actual hatred of sin (Ps. 119:128; Job 42:5, 6; 2
Cor. 7:10) and turning from it to God; and (4) a persistent
endeavour after a holy life in a walking with God in the way of
his commandments.

The true penitent is conscious of guilt (Ps. 51:4, 9), of
pollution (51:5, 7, 10), and of helplessness (51:11; 109:21,
22). Thus he apprehends himself to be just what God has always
seen him to be and declares him to be. But repentance
comprehends not only such a sense of sin, but also an
apprehension of mercy, without which there can be no true
repentance (Ps. 51:1; 130:4).



From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) :

REPENTANCE, n. The faithful attendant and follower of Punishment. It
is usually manifest in a degree of reformation that is not
inconsistent with continuity of sin.

You will repent and join the Church, Parnell?
How needless! -- Nick will keep you off the coals

TRUE REPENTANCE IS REVEALED BY CHANGED ACTION
Ex 9: 27 – 34And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel.
5: And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
6: And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
7: And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
8: And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
9: And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
10: And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.
11: And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians. After promising to let the Hebrews go, Pharaoh immediately broke his promise and brought even more trouble upon the land. His actions revealed that his repentance was not real. We do damage to ourselves and to others if. We pretend to change but dont mean it.

Ezra 10:3, 4-11Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.
4: Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.
5: Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they sware.
6: Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away.
7: And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;
8: And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.
9: Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
10: And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.
11: Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.. Following Ezra’s earnest prayer, the people admitted their sin to God. Then they asked for direction in restoring their relationship with God. True repentance does not and with words of confession, it must lead to corrected behavior and changed attitudes. When you sin and you are truly sorry, confess this to God, ask Him for forgiveness, and accept His grace and mercy. Then as an act of there fullness for your forgiveness changes your ways (2 Chron 34:31,1Chron 28:10, Neh5:12, Neh9:12, Gen12:1, 2Cor6:14-17)

In the Principles of repentance there is grate power. For when the living God would put truth, His judgment, if His people will truly repent, will He not change His mind? He will. For when these who are under His judgment had under His wrath, will repent, of the wickedness, will repent of there evil doings, does not the living God found away from the evil He had for them.

MAY-10
OLD TESTAMENT SACRIFICES REQUIRED AN ATTITUDE OF REPENTANCE

Lev 5:5- And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:
6: And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin. the entire system of sacrifices was worthless unless the offered came with an attitude for repentance and a willingness to confess sin. Today because of Christ’s death on the cross we do not have to sacrifice animals. But it is still vital to confess sin because such confession shows realization of sin, awareness of God’s holiness, humility before God and willingness to turn from this sin(Psalm 51:16,17). Even Jesus death can of little value to us if we do not appreciate its meaning for our lives. It is like a vaccine for a dangerous disease, it is of little value unless it has entered the bloodstream (Num 5:7, Josh 17:19, Exodus 29:33)

It does not give God pleasure that men would perish, but that men would repent. Therefore continue to practice one with another the principle of repentance and repentance before the living God forgiving and being forgiven. For indeed when we will operate in repentance, we shall remain in the kingdom. But when men will grow proud and arrogant and hard towards the living God the father of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, they receive His judgment and His judgment is just. This day God reminds us, to remind ourselves, to remind one another that he does not desire that anyone perish, but that men would come to repentance of their sins, that they could be cleansed and thereby sacrificed. Rejoice this day that the living God has forgiven you when you have repented, and that God’s repentance is over you. Rejoice for the forgiveness that is given when men shall repent, give God thanks and praise.

REPENTANCE MUST BE MORE THAN ADMITTING GUILT

Num 14:40 - 44And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.
41: And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
42: Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
43: For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
44: But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp. When the Israelites realized their foolish mistakes they were suddenly ready to return to God. But God didn’t confuse their admission of guilt with true repentance because he knew their hearts. Sure enough, they soon went their own way again. Sometimes good actions or intentions come too late. We must not only do the right things, we must do them at the right time. Otherwise we have to face the consequences. The kind of obedience God desires is complete and instant (Josh 7:1-8)

Rest in the assurance that the living God does hear you. Rest in the assurance that the Living God shall answer you. Rest in the assurance that the Living God shall give to you such as you have need of. Rest in the living God the Father of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ and trust in Him as your God, your maker, and your Source.


MAY-12
WE NEED CONTINUED REPENTANCE

Deut 31:27-For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?
28: Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.
29: For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands. Moses knew that the Israelites in spite of all they had seen of God’s work, were rebellious at heart. They deserved God’s punishment, although they often received His mercy instead. We too are stubborn and rebellious by nature. Throughout our lives we struggle with our sin. Repentance once a month or once a week is not enough, we must continually confess our sins to God and let his mercy save us.

God offers to us the place of rest that is the place of trusting in Him and knowing that he is able. Do not refuse that rest, for those who disturbed God in the wilderness, they did not enter in because of their unbelief. But when we will believe in, the place of rest is ours. Trust God the father of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ foe he is our God, our maker and our source Trust that he keeps his word to us. Believe him that he hears us when we pray Trust God, rest in him, for he is our God, our maker and our source.

REPENTANCE MEASURES OUR SPIRITUAL INTEGRITY

Judges 2:4And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept., the people of Israel knew they had sinned, and they responded with deep sorrow. Doing wrong comes naturally, and knows that perfection is unattainable. Repentance is therefore the measure of integrity. Repentance is asking God to forgive us and turning from our sinful ways. But we cannot do this sincerely unless we are truly sorry for our sinful actions. When we are aware of wrongdoing in our lives, we should admit it plainly to God rather than trying to cover it up or hoping to get away with it.
This day, the living God, the father our lord and savior, Jesus Christ has chosen us in midst of sorrow he has chosen us. Let us speak these words to ourselves for it is the living God who has chosen us. Therefore know that he is with us weather whatsoever we go and whatsoever we shall endure, in whosesoever we shall be.

JUDGES REVEALS CYCLE OF SIN, JUDGEMENT AND REPENTANCE
Judges 2:10And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. One generation died, and the next did not follow God. Judges 2:10-3:7 is a brief preview of the cycle of sin, judgment and repentance which Israel experienced again and again. Each generation failed to teach the next generation to love and follow God. Yet this was at the center of God’s law (Deut 6:4-9) Likewise it is tempting to leave the job of teaching the Christian faith to the church or Christian school. Yet God says that the greatest responsibility for this task belongs to the family matter we should take the responsibility of building faith in to the lives of our children seriously. (Ex 32: 11, Psa 81: 10)

The living God, the father of our lord and Savior Jesus Christ has chosen us. Therefore be greatly refreshed, even this day, knowing that the Lord is with us.
Look not to men, look not to the left nor right, but look to Christ Jesus and know in deed that He has chosen us. And He brings us forth as it pleases Him, he brings us forth well pleasing in His sight and he does with us what He sees needs be done for He has chosen us. Therefore lost assured this day that we are in His hands, for He has chosen us for his own good purpose, for his own good plan. No man has applauded us nor anointed us, but God has chosen us. Therefore no man shall pull us down no discord us, for the living God has chosen us. Rejoice in God’s choosing, rejoice sovereignty, rejoice in his mastery over us. And rest assured his day that we are in his hand.

NO ONE IS TOO EVIL TO REPENT

1KN 21:29Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house. Ahab was more wicked than any other king of Israel (16 :30, 21 :25 ) but when He repeated in deed humility for His sin, God took notice and reduced his punishment. The same lord who was merciful to Ahab wants to be merciful to you. No matter how evil you have been, it is never too late to humble yourself, turn to God and to ask forgiveness (2 KN 9:25)
This day is rejoicing within yourself for the tender mercies that God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ gives that He leads you by a plain path, that He leads you in the way. Be rejoicing and giving thanks. Be not weary in well doing but continue as a steadfast person for you shall continue so shall His mercies continue to you.

GOD GAVE ISRAEL AND JUDAH MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR REPENTANCE

2 KN 14:27And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash. Israel was an evil and immoral nation and its sins would get even worse and was not saying that He would never destroy Israel. Instead He was warning that judgment was certain if Israel didn’t turn back to Him. In His mercy however He gave Israel yet another chance to turn from its evil ways. But the next five Kings of Israel didn’t respond to Gods mercy. They were so evil that God allowed the nation to be destroyed by Assyria.
2Kings 25: 1 Judah was invaded by Babylonians three times (24:1, 10, 25:1,) just as Israel was invaded by Assyrians three times. Once again God demonstrated His mercy the face of deserved judgment by giving the people repeated opportunities to repent. (2Kings 25:1-7, Ezra 3:1-5, Gen12:2, 3, Rom 1:26)
God provides and provides and provides. Do not doubt Him but believe Him and know that He provides. When we will beseech Him and cry out to Him, and look to Him is He not our provision and our source? Indeed He is and He provides again and again and again.
The Abraham covenant is formed (Gen 12:1-4) and confirmed (Gen 13:14-17, 15:1-7, 17:1-8) is in save distinct parts.
1. “I will make of the a great nation” Fulfilled in a threefold way @ In a natural posterity- “as the dept of the earth (Gen 13:16, Jn 8:37), Viz the Hebrew people (b) In a spiritual posterity – “ look now toward heaven – so shall they seed be” (Jn 8:39, Rom 4:16, 17:9 7:8 Gal 3:6, 7, 29) Viz all men of faith whether Jew or Gentle (c) Fulfilled also through Ishmael (Gen 17:18-20 )
2. “ I will bless thee” Fulfilled in two ways (a) temporally (Gen 13:14, 15, 17:15, 34, 35 (b) spiritually (Gen 15:6, Jn 8:56)
3. “And make the name great” Abrahams is one of the universal names.
4. “ And they shall be a blessing” (Gen 3:13, 14)
5. “I will bless them that bless thee” In fulfillment colossally related to the next clause.
6. “And curse him that curse thee” Wonderfully fulfilled in the history of the dispersion. It has invariably fared ill with the people who have persecuted the Jew-well with those have protected him. The future will still more remarkably prove this principle (Duet 30:7 Isa 14:12 Joe l3:1-8 Mc 5:7-9, Hag 2:22 Zach 14:1-3 Mt 25:40-45).
7. In thee shall all families of the earth be blessed “This is the great evangelic promise fulfilled in Abraham’s seed, Christ (Gal 3:1-8, John 8:56-58) It brings into greater deftness the promise of the Ademic covenant concerning the seed of the women (Gen3:15).

REPENTANCE IS CHANGING BEHAVIOUR THAT PRODUCE SIN

2 King 22:19Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD. When Josiah released how corrupt his nation had become, he tore his clothes and wept before God. Then God had mercy on him. Josiah used the customs of his day to show his repentance. When we repent today, we are unlikely to fear our clothing but weeping, fasting, making restitution or apologies (if our sin has involved others) are all acts of repentance which demonstrate our sincerity. The hardest part of repentance is changing the behavior that originally produced the sin (Ps 1:17, Isa 57:15, 1 KN 21:29).

When we will prefer the living God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ above all things, so shall he prefer us. For when Gods people will establish their priorities correctly, that is when they will love Him with all their hearts, that is when they will seek him, that is when they will desire him so will He desire His people. For indeed it gives God pleasure to love His people, and like wise it gives Him pleasure when His people will love Him that is put him as their first priority, put Him as their reason for being and put Him as their cause. When we are determined to hold God in such a state we will see the results we desire but often times Gods people do not put Him in that place but they put him at the end of the list. Do not treat God like that for He is our creator.
MAY-18
REPENTANCE MUST PRECEDE FORGIVENESS

1 Chron 21:8And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. When David realized his sins, he took full responsibility, admitted he was wrong, and asked God to forgive him. Many people want to add God and His blessings to their lives without acknowledging their personal sins and guilt but confession and repentance must come before receiving forgiveness. Like David we must take full responsibilities for our actions and confess them to God before we can expect Him to forgive us and continue his work in our lives.

This day rejoice to hold God in first estate, to prioritize yourself whereby you worship Him and Him alone, and to know that He is your Creator, your founder and your maker. Rejoice even this day that you are privileged to be His, that you are privileged to serve Him the living God that you are privileged to bow to His sovereignty, His master. Rejoice even this day give thanks, give praise. Let this day be a day of giving thanks and praise, to God, for He turns bad things even to good things when you will thank and praise Him. Do not look at the dreary, do not look at the depressing, but look to the living God the Father our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. For He is the hope of His people, rejoice this day. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is your hope indeed.

REPENTANCE MAY REQUIRE A BROKEN HEART
Ezek 6:8 – Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
9: And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
10: And they shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them. A ray of light appears in this prophecy of darkness God would spare a remnant of people but only after they had learned some hard lessons. God sometimes has to “break a heart” in order to bring a person to true repentance. The people need new altitudes but they wouldn’t change until God broke their hearts with humiliation, pain, suffering and defeat. Does your heart long for God enough to change those areas displeasing Him? Or will God have to “break” you? (Ezk 6:11-14, 9:4 Isa1:9 Rm11:5).
This day the living God, Father of our lord Jesus Christ desires that we would look for Him as our constancy of strength for indeed He is the living God who gives His strength to His people continually .When we shall look for God shall we not draw of who He is. For indeed he has brought you up as a sign and a wonder, this is because of His strength.

Neh 9:28-But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;
29: And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
30: Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.
31: Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.Israel was devastated by times of intense rebellion and sin. Yet when the people repented and returned to God, he delivered them. God puts no limits on the number of times we can come to Him to obtain mercy but we must come in order to obtain it, recognizing our need and asking Him for help. This miracle of grace should inspire us to say, “What a gracious and merciful God you are” if there is a recurring problem or difficulty and be willing and ready to make changes in your attitude and behaviour that will correct that difficulty. (Neh 9:20,30, Job 26:13, Gen 1:2, Mal 2:5, 2nd King 17:13-18, 2nd Chron 36:11-20).

It is not in our own feebleness, nor in our weakness that we are strong, but it is in God’s strength. Therefore continually look to Him, put yourself into Him, that is plug into him and you shall draw of the strength that He is. For just as a plug that is not put in the outlet does not have the current flowing through it, so it is with those who will not plug into Him. But when we live and abide in Him, His strength shall flow into Him as a current continually. We shall be made strong by the strength that He is. Do not look at your own self and be defeated by your weakness, but look to Him and know that He is your strength and your constancy of strength. Be plugged into the Living God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that abiding into Him and His strength is continual. Rejoice even this day that it is the Living God who does give again and again His everlasting strength.

FIRST STEPS IN REPENTANCE
Psa 80:3Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. ,7Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. ,19Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. Three times the writer calls on God to “turn us again to yourself” repentance involves humbling ourselves and turning to God to receive His forgiveness and restoration. As we turn to God, he helps us to see ourselves more Cleary, including our sin. And as we see our sin the process of repentance must be repented over and over again (Ps 4:6, 67:1, Num 6:25, Matt 3:1-2)

Thank God for the multitude of mercies that He gives us. For His mercies are multiple. They are infinite and endless when God’s people abide in Him, they know His mercies. There are many mercies God extend to us that we do not even see. But nevertheless thank God for the same for without His mercies you would perish in your sins. Mt 3:1-2 Almost 30 years had passed since the events of chapter 2. Now John the Baptist burnt onto the scene. His theme was “turn from your sins………..turn to God, He meant that we must do an about –face –a 180 degree turn from the kind of self- centeredness that leads to wrong actions such as lying, cheating, stealing, gossiping, revenge, abuse, and sexual immorality. Instead we must follow God’s prescribed way of Living found in His word. The first step in turning to God is to admit your sin, as John urged. Then God will receive you and help you live the way He wants you to. Remember that only God can get rid of
sin. He doesn’t expect us to clean up our lives before we come to Him. (Acts 17:30, Matt 3:2, 8, 11, 4:17)

MAY-22
NINEVEH'S REPENTANCE A CONTRAST TO ISRAEL'S STUBBORNESS
Jonah 3:10And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not. The heathen people of Nineveh believed Jonah’s message and repented what a miraculous effect God’s words had on these evil people. Their repentance stood in stark contrast to Israel’s stubbornness. The people of Israel heard many messages from the prophets, but they refused to repent. The people of Nineveh only needed to hear God’s message once. Jesus said that at the judgment Day these Ninevites will rise up to condemn the Israelites for their failure to repent (Matt 12:39-41) it is not the hearing of God’s word that pleases Him, but an obedient response to it.

God responded in mercy by canceling his threatened punishment. God Himself said that any nation on which He pronounced judgment would be saved if they repented (Jeremiah 18:7-10). God forgave Nineveh just as he had forgiven Jonah. The purpose of God’s judgment is correction, not revenge; He is always ready to show compassion to anyone willing to seek Him. (Zech 8:14).

Without God’s mercies use would fall sick and die without God’s mercies we could be afflicted by several demon forces. But through God’s mercies we are kept. Therefore do not take those mercies for granted but thank God and praise Him. For He is the merciful God, Consider the sons of men who worship the demon gods, who worship the gods who have no mercy, consider the desolation of their existence, consider their isolation from God then rejoice that you are privileged. Continue to declare God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, continue to proclaim Him that He is the merciful God- that men will come out of the bondage of cruelty and come to Jesus Christ. Rejoice even this night that you are privileged, that the Living God extends His mercies to us. REJOICE.

MAY-23
WHEN REPETANCE IS AND ISN’T GOOD NEWS
Mt 3:3For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
The prophet quoted is Isaiah 40:3, one of the greatest prophets of the old Testament and one of the most quoted in the new. Like Isaiah, John was a prophet who urged the people to confess their sin and live for God. Both prophets taught that message of repentance is good news to those who listen and speak the healing forgiveness of God’s love but terrible news to those who refuse to listen and cut off their only source of eternal hope.

John the Baptist prepared thee we way for Jesus. People who do not know Jesus may need to be prepared to meet him. We can prepare them by explaining their need for forgiveness, demonstrating Christ’s teaching in our lives and telling them how Christ can give their lives meaning. We can straighten out the path by correcting misconceptions that might be hindering them from approaching Christ. Someone you knew may be open to a relationship with Christ. What can you do to prepare this person?

Thank the living God the father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ even this day that He is our life. Thank God even this day that he is our light for indeed when we look to him we are made alive. When we draw off God, we draw of God, we drew of His strength when we walk in Christ, we walk in the light rejoice. For men look at natural circumstance and they think that is their life that they are deceived. For there is no life in natural circumstance, but there is life in Jesus Christ.


MAY-24
WHAT REPENTANCE MEANS
Mt 3:6And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. When you wash dirty hands, the results is immediately visible. But repentance happens inside with a cleaning that isn’t immediately seen. So John used a symbolic action that people could see. So John used a symbolic action that people could see baptism. Baptism was by Jesus to initiate converts to Judaism, so John’s audience was familiar with the rite. Here Baptism was used as a sign of repentance and forgiveness. Repent means “to turn” implying a change in behaviour it is turning in behaviour it is turning from sin toward God. Have you repented of sin toward God. Have you repented of sin in your life? Can others see the difference it makes in you? A changed with new and different behaviour makes your repentance and visible. Rom 3:23

2 Cor 7:10For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. True repentance means being sorry for our sins and changing our behaviour. Many people are sorry only for the effects of their sins or for being caught. Compare Peter’s remorse and repentance with Judas bitterness and suicide. Both denied Christ, one repented and was restored to faith and service, the other took his own life (Ps 32:10, Rom1:16, Gal 6:14, Jn 7:7, Rev 13: 3-8)

This day be glad and give thanks to God that you are privileged to draw of Him, to partake of Him, and to live in Him. For indeed He is the light upon your pathway. Rejoice even that you are not in filthiness and abomination of the darkness of sin, but that you may walk in the light that Christ is. Rejoice for the tender mercies that God gives day by day partake with thanksgiving, rejoices with thanksgiving give the praise to him, for indeed He is the Light and the life. Day by day if you will prefer Christ, He will prefer you, that is when you will put Him first, He will put you first continually bow to the living God in righteousness and you shall reap the same. Rejoice and give thanks this day that He is merciful towards you, that He is the God of goodness. Begrudge God NOT but rather give thanks to Him for all things, and His mercies shall rest over you.

MAY-25
TRUE REPENTANCE MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE

Jn 8:11She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. Jesus didn’t condemn the woman accused of adultery, but neither did he ignore or condemn her sin. He told her to go and sin no more. Jesus stands ready to forgive any sin in your life, but confession and repentance mean change of heart. With God’s help we can accept Christ’s forgiveness and stop wrongdoing. Jn 5:14

When you trust yourself to the living God the Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, you trust yourself to light. When you trust yourself to carnal men they trust themselves to deceit, they are secure. They are fools. But any man, who trusts himself to Christ, is kept.


MAY-26
BAPTISM IS A SIGN REPENTANCE

Mk 1:14, 15Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15: And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. What is God’s Good News or Gods Kingdom? These first words spoken by Jesus in Mark give the core of His teaching that the long awaited Messiah has come to begin God’s personal reign on earth. Most of the people who heard this message were oppressed, poor and without hope. Jesus words were good news because they offered freedom, blessings and promise. Mt 6:33
Lk 3:16John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: John's baptism with water symbolizes the washing away of sins. It coordinated with his message of repentance and reformation. Jesus Baptism by fire includes the power needed to do Gods will. It began on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2) when the Holy Spirit in the form of tongues of fire came upon the believers empowering them to proclaim Jesus resurrection in many languages. The Baptism by fire also symbolizes the work of the Holy Spirit in bringing Gods judgment on those who refuse to repent. (1 Pt 3:21, Lk 3:16, 22, 4:1, Mt 1:18, Acts 2:4).

This day thank the living God that of all the gods, that He alone do reign, that He reigns supreme of all the gods that men have invented, that He does remain and that He is supreme. Therefore thank the Lord that we are privileged to be His people, that you are privileged to serve Him and to follow Him. For indeed it is a privilege, it is a great enlightment to serve the living God serve the living God all of your days with gladness. For you do not face damnation but you face eternal life with God if you continue steadfast.

MAY-27
FASTING IS A SIGN FO REPENTANCE

Mk 2:18And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? John had two purposes; to cause people to repent of the of their sin, and to prepare them for Christ’s coming. This was a time of sober reflection, and so it included fasting, an outward sign of humility and regret for sin fasting empties the body of food, repentance empties our live of sin. Jesus disciples did not need to fast to prepare for His coming, because He was with them. Jesus did not condemn fasting however. He Himself fasted 40days (Mt 4:2). Nevertheless, He emphasized fasting the right motives. The Pharisees fasted twice a week to show how Holy they were Jesus explained that if people fast only to impress others they have missed the purpose of fasting (Mt 6:16 – 18, 9:14 – 17, Lk 5:33 – 39).

Serve the living God the Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ all of your days with the giving of thanks and rejoicing. For it is neither a weary nor a dreary thing that God has called us to, but He has called us to the very gift of life. Therefore greatly rejoice and be glad and serve the Lord with thanksgiving all of your days.

MAY-28
THE TWO SIDES OF REPENTANCE

Lk 3:3And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; Repentance has two sides turning away from sins, and turning toward God. To be forgiven, we must do both. We cant just say we believe and then live any way we want to (3:7,8) and neither can we simply live morally correct life without reference to God, because that alone cannot bring forgiveness from sin. Determine to rid your life of any sins God points out, and put your, trust in Him alone to save you from sins consequences.

This day thank God that He is the way and that He leads you forth. For when you will stop and consider the crafty inventions of men, their stupidity, their blindness, their dullness and their rebellion, what is the end of the same? It is damnation. But when you will walk with Christ the son of the living God, you are kept for. He keeps you in a plain path and He directs your steps. Rejoice even this day that the Lord is the way Thank God that He liberates you from the deceits, from the cunning craftiness whereby men have laid in wait to destroy you. Thank God that He leads you by a plain path. This day be giving thanks be giving praise that He is the way. There is none like Him for He alone reigns supreme. Thank the Lord that He is your God, Your maker and your source. Thank the living God the Father of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ that He is the way.

MAY-29
REPENTANCE MUST BE TIED TO GOOD DEEDS

Lk 3:8 – Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9: And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Faith and works are inseparable. Faith without works is a lifeless faith. Jesus harshest words were to the respectable religious leaders who lacked true faith, repentance must be tied to action or it isn’t real. Is the fruit of your faith ripening as your faith grows, or is it rotting as you fail to act upon what God shows you? (Lk 5:32, Mt 3:2, Acts 17:30, Rom 9:6, 8, Gal 3:29, 6:15, Lk 13:5 – 9, Rev 21:8).

When Christ is exalted in the midst of His people, then does He exalt His people. But when He is humbled in the midst of His people, then are His people humbled down. For when Gods people do not give the respect to Him, He withdraws His covering of respect from His people. They go into captivity. And they scorned, scoffed, mocked and imitated. For when God’s people refuse to exalt Christ, that is when they cease lifting Him up as their God and their maker, He turns from them. But to a people who will be faithful to give the praise to Him, the living God is true, He is just and righteous. Therefore continually exalt the Lord in your midst that you may likewise be exalted. For the Lord is the one true God who is Holy and He will exalt on obedient people. Seek to obey the Lord in all that you do and His covering shall rest over you.

MAY-30
REPENTANCE MAKES US VALUABLE TO GOD

Lk 3:17Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. John warns of impending judgment by comparing those who refuse to live for God to chaff, the useless outer husk of the grain. By contrast, he compares those who repent and reform their lives to the nourishing grain itself. Those who refuse to be used by God will be discarded because they have no value in furthering God’s work. Those who repent and believe, however hold great value in Gods eyes because they are beginning a new life of productive service for Him. (Mt 13:30).

The living God is our ever present help in Time of need. Therefore do not be ashamed to cry out to Him. Do not be ashamed to know that He is our God and our Maker. Do not be ashamed to beg of Him for He hears. When it is the living God who makes you needy do not look to the arm of flesh, but cry out to Him, for it is the living God who shall bring the relief and the release to you. Look neither to the left nor right but look to Christ. The Lord has called you to be needy that you may draw high to Him. Therefore do not be ashamed of the times of neediness but use this time to pursue the living God. For when you cry out the Lord hears you.

MAY-31
HEAVEN JOY OVER EACH REPENTANT SINNER

Lk 15:8 – Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
9: And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
10: Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. Palestinian women received ten silver coins as a wedding gift. These coins held sentimental value like that of a wedding ring and to love one was extremely distressing. Just as a woman would rejoice at finding her lost coin or ring, so the angels would rejoice over a repentant sinner. Each individual is precious to God. He grieves over every loss and rejoices whenever one of his children is found and brought into His Kingdom. (Mt 18:28, Ezk 18:23, Acts 11:18, Heb 1:4)

Rejoice even this night that it is the living God who does purpose you to go forward, that it is the living God who does purpose to conquer. Therefore, when you would see neediness in the way, cry out to the living God the Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for it is Him who has purposed you. Rejoice even this night that the Lord is your God, your provision, your source and your maker. Thank the Lord again and again for He is ever present. Rejoice in the Lord.

DON’T BE SUSPICIOUS OF REPENTANT SINNERS

Lk 15:25 - Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
26: And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27: And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28: And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
29: And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
30: But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31: And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. It would be just as difficult to accept the younger brother today as it was in Jesus day. People who repent after being notorious for their sinful lives are often held in suspicion. Churches are sometimes even unwilling to admit them to membership. Instead we should rejoice like the angels in heaven when an unbeliever repents and turns to God. Like the Father, accept repentant sinners whole heartedly and give them the support and encouragement they need to grow in Christ. (Lk 18:11)

When you look to Christ you see Him reign. But those who look aside from Him, they look to other gods and they are ruled over by the same. Therefore be wise and continually look to Him, continually rely upon Him for He is our God, our source and maker. He is our King, our refuge and our glory. Look to Christ and He will reign over yu. Belive Him and you will see Him triumph.

JUNE-2
REPENTANCE NEEDED FOR ENTRANCE INTO GOD’S KINGDOM

Jn 3:3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. What did Nicodemus know about the Kingdom? From the Bible he knew it would be ruled by God, it would be restored on Earth, and it would incorporate Gods people. Jesus revealed to this devout Pharisees that the Kingdom would come to the whole world (3:16), not just the Jews and that Nicodemus would be apart of it unless he was personally born again (3:5). This was a revolutionary concept. The Kingdom is personal, not national nor ethnic, and its entrance requirements are repentance and spiritual rebirth. Jesus later taught that Gods Kingdom has already began in the hearts of believers through the presence of the Holy Spirit will be fully realized when Jesus will return again to judge the world and abolish evil forever Lk 8:1, 9:11, 11:20, Rev 21, 22, Jn 1:13, Gal 6:15, Eph 2:10, Tit 3:5, Jm 1:18, 1 pt 1:23.

When you will believe in Jesus Christ, you shall see Him; you shall live in Him and abide in Him. Continually seek to believe in Him. There are many who have turned back through an evil heart of unbelief, they have imagined wickedness against Him, now they are ruled by wickedness for what they accuse God of, they do themselves, and what they accuse the living God of, their false gods do to them. Stop and consider the Lord is the God of goodness, and His goodness remains. Look to Christ even this day, believe Him and see Him prevail.

JUNE-3
REPENTANCE IS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP SIN

Jn 12:10 – But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11: Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus. the chief priests blindness of heart caused them to sink even deeper into sin. They rejected the Messiah, planned to kill Him, and now plotted to murder Lazarus also. One sin leads to another. From the Jewish leader point of view, they could accuse Jesus of blasphemy because He claimed equality with God. But Lazarus had done nothing of the kind. They wanted him dead simply because he was a living example of Jesus’ power. This is a warning to us. Sin leads to more sin a downward spiral that can be stopped only by repentance and asking for forgiveness. (Jn 9:34, 15:20, Jn 11:45)

Reach not to the arm of flesh, for flesh is rottenness, but reach to Christ and you shall be kept, for He is the strength of His people. This day thank God, give Him praise that He is your strength, that He is your rear guard and that He leads you forth as it pleases Him. When a man will try to keep the Kingdom of his won self, and the Kingdom of flesh, he causes his own problems. But when a man will let go of those things and surrender to Christ and stay in that place of submittedness, then shall he receive the fruit that God has in abundance. Do not try to keep yourself but be surrendered to Jesus Christ, and gain what God has for you, for He has great treasure, He has great beauty, He has many mysteries that He desires to reveal. Therefore be yielded over to Christ and receive what God has. Thank the Lord that He is the omnipresent God that He reins in the midst of an obedient people. Seek to seek Gods counsel, seek to obey God and you shall see Him
reign.

JUNE-4
REPENTANCE BRINGS SPIRITUAK REFRESHMENT

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus by preaching repentance. The apostles’ call to salvation also included repentance acknowledging personal sin and turning away from it. Many people want the benefits of being identified with Christ without turning from sin and acknowledging their own disobedience. The first step to being forgiven is to confess your sin and turn from it Acts 2:28

When we repent God promises not only to wipe away our sin, but to bring spiritual refreshment. Repentance may at first seem painful because it is hard to give up certain sins. But God will give you a better way. As Hosea promised, “Let us press on to know Him, and He will respond to us as surely as the coming of down or the rain of early spring” Hosea 6:3 do you feel a need to be refreshed? (Acts 5:31, Mt 3:2, Acts 17:30, Lk 22:32, Rm 3:23).

Men cannot organize hearts, and though they establish their organizations and think that they have the control, they cannot control hearts for the change of the heart must come through the work of the Holy Spirit of God. Therefore pray that God’s Holy Spirit has His way. We live in a time when men have set themselves up in Satanism and imagined that they would control other men. But they have not been able to transform the hearts and the wicked deeds that come out of the same. Because of that, wickedness has only increased because men have imagined that they could play God. But no man is God and God’s people have need of Him for the transformation that is necessary.

WALK BEFORE THE LORD AND BE PERFECT

Gen 17:1And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. The Lord told Abram “I am God, therefore obey me and live as you should”. God has the same message for us today. We are to obey Him because He is God. That is reason enough. If you don’t think the benefits are worth it, consider first who God is the only one who has the power and ability to meet your every need. (Gen 18:1, 12:7, Rev 1:9, Gen 21:23 Gen 1:1, Mal 3:18).

This day you do not walk alone but the living God walks with you. And He hears you when you cry out to Him, He hears you. Therefore continually cry out to Him for He is your God and maker. You do not cry to the wind, you do not cry to desolation but you cry to the living God the Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and He hears you. Rejoice that it is the living God who does answer you that it is Him who does go before you. Rejoice even this day that you are privileged, for He has chosen you and He hears you. Rejoice that you are privileged to be His, this day be giving thanks be giving praise to God.

THE LORD BEFORE WHOM I WALK

Gen 24:40And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house: Have you ever approached a responsibility with single mindedness and careful learning, while ultimately depending on God. Eliezer did by taking the following steps of a true servant. Accepted the challenge (verse 3, 9) explained alternatives (verse 5), promised to follow instructions verse 9, made a plan verse 12 – 14 submitted the plan to God verse 12 – 14, devised a strategy with room for God to operate verse 12 – 14, waited verse 21, watched carefully verse 21, accepted the answer thankfully verse 26 explained the situation to concerned parties verse 34 – 49, refused unnecessary delay verse56 and followed through with the entire plan verse 66 *(1 King 8:23, Heb 1:4).

Stop and consider the untold multitudes who howl to the wind, who howl to desolation and it is all in emptiness and despair but you do not do those things, but when you cry out to God He Hears you. Rejoice that you are privileged, give thanks. This day be giving thanks to God that indeed that He is your God, your maker and your source. Be giving the living God praise for He hears you, He answers you, and goes before you. Rejoice and be glad, be glad this day.

*This is the model of servant, he does not run unsent verse 2 – 9, goes where he is sent verse 4, 10, does nothing else, is prayerful and thankful verse12 – 14, 26, 27, is wise to win verse 17, 18, 21, Jn 4:7. Speaks not of himself but of his masters’ riches and Isaac’s heirship verse 22, 34 – 36, Acts 8:1, presents the true issues, and requires clear decisions verse 49

JUNE-7
GOD BEFORE WHOM FATHERS DID WALK
Gen 48:15And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day, Jacob spoke of God as one who had shepherded him all his life. He pictured himself as a sheep that needed a shepherd’s wisdom and guidance to lead him along the best path. This marks actual attitude change from his scheming and dishonest youth. To develop an attitude like Jacob’s you must begin by recognizing that Gods advice for living is what you need most. Follow the voice of the good Shepherd, and He will lead you.

This day shout for joy that you are in the company of the redeemed and that the living God has had mercy upon you. Consider the multitudes perishing in their sins, then shout for joy that you are redeemed and that you are likewise in the company of the redeemed and that you are likewise in the company of the redeemed for you are a privileged person.

JUNE-8
WHETHER THEY WILL WALK IN GODS LAW
Exod 16:4, 5Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
5: And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. God promised to meet the Hebrews need for feed in the wilderness, but He decided to test their obedience. God wanted to see if they would obey His detailed instructions. We can only learn to follow by following. We can only learn obedience by obeying.

This day rejoice and be glad in the Lord, for He is the resurrection and the life. There is none like the living God the Father of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. When we live in Him and abide in Him, we know His resurrection and life. Rejoice that it is the Lord who raises us up again and again. Rejoice for the principle of Christ’s resurrected life and glory and that we are privileged to partake of the same. Be a person who give God thanks continually and praise for He leads us forth by a plain path. Be not weary in well doing but continue as a steadfast people knowing that it is the Lord, the living God who is the resurrection and the life, who gives the life to us. This night thank the Lord that He is the resurrection and the life.

JUNE-9
THE WAY WHERE IN WE MUST WALK

Exod 18:19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to Godward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:
20: And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do., these verses anticipate a great problem the Israelites would face when they arrived in the Promised Land. Though they had Joshua as their national leader, they failed to complete the task and choose other spiritual leaders who would guide the tribes, districts and cities with justice and godliness. Because they did not appoint wise judges and godly administrators, rebellion and injustice plagued their communities. It is the responsibilities of the people to carefully appoint or elect officials who are wise and just. In your sphere of influence home, church, school, job you are ensuring that justice and godliness prevail? Failing to choose leader who uphold justices can lead to much trouble as Israel would discovered (Deut 16:18-20) God entirely the worldly wise organization, Exod 18:19, 20 substitution His own orders
(Num 11:14-17). This day rejoice in the lord for He is the mercy that dear abound towards you. Rejoice in the lord Jesus
Christ for He is the goodness that does pour out to you. Rejoice in Him for He is your peace and your place of rest. This day wrestle not against the Lord, but rejoice in Him. For indeed when you are yielded over to Him, so are you able to rejoice and be glad. This day give thanks, give praise, and rejoice in the Lord for He is the omnipresent, the glorious and the one true God. Rejoice in the Lord even this day be glad, give thanks. Give praised and rejoice in the Lord today.


JUNE-10
GOD WILL WALK AMONG US
Lev 26:12, And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
13: I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. Imagine the joy of a slave set free, God took the children of Israel out of bitter slavery and gave them freedom and dignity. We too are set free when we accept Christ’s payment to buy us out of sins slavery. We no longer need to be bogged down in shame over our past sins but can walk with dignity because God has forgiven us and forgotten. But just as the Israelites were still in danger of returning to the slave mentality, we need to beware of the temptation to return to our old live of sin. 2 Cor 6:16.

The Lord is the infinite God, the endless God. There is no limitation to Him. The limitations that are put upon the Living God the Father of our Lord and Savior are put out by the small minds of men. They do not limit the Lord, but they only imagine that they do. But the Lord is the infinite and the limitless God. Therefore do not look for there to be and end to Him, for there is no limit. Look to Jesus Christ and know that He is the I AM.
JUNE-11
GOD WALKED IN THE MIDST OF THE CAMP
Deut 23:14For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee. God’s promises were fulfilled to the letter when the Hebrews left Egypt. He delivered them from slavery, become their God, and accepted them as his people then He led them toward the land He had promised them when the Hebrew was rescued from slavery; they were also portraying the drama of salvation for all of us. When God redeems us from sin He delivers us, accepts us, and becomes our God. Then He leads us do a new life as we follow Him (Exodus 6:6-8)

God uses His power to accomplish His purposes through His people. Faith is not “God giving me power to be all I want to be”, but “God giving me the power to be all he wants me to be”. The people of Israel had to learn that trusting God means radically realigning one’s purposes and desires toward God. That is our lesson too. Jer 32:36-42

Look to the Lord this day; let your faith and confidence soar in Him. Know that He is your God, your maker, your King and your sources know that He is the I AM power. Know that He is the I AM glory. This day trust in the Living God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, believe in Him, and know that He is able. Look not any other but look to Christ for indeed He is the infinite and the endless God.


JUNE-12
LET ALL THAT WALK BY THE WAY PRAISE GOD.
Judge 5:10 Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way. in Judges 10:1-6 And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.
2: And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3: And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years.
4: And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havoth-jair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
5: And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.
6: And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him.we read about two judges is Tola-“ was Israel’s judge for twenty three years” (10:2) Jair “judged Israel for twenty two years. His thirty sons rode around together on thirty donkeys” (10:3,4).What are you doing for God that is worth? When your life is over, will people remember more than just what was in your bank account or the number of years you lived? (Judges 12:14)

The lord has made the way simple and pure. He has made the way undefiled, but men in his invention have defiled the way of God. He has made it complicated, has made it a distress and a sorrow. But all of those who shall be God’s spirit people shall come to Him and walk with Him in His way. And indeed, the way of the living God is simple, it is pure and undefiled. This day greatly rejoice and give thanks to God that He is the omnipresent, the glorious, that He is the one, true God, that He has made the way pure and simple.


JUNE-13
ABNER AND HIS MEN WALKED ALL THAT NIGHT
2sam2:29And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim. The nation of Israel split in two after Saul’s death. Ten tribes followed (sh-bosheth one of Saul’s surviving sons, two tribes (Judah and Simeon) followed David. Abner, Saul’s general, rallied Israel around (sh-bosheth, he was no doubt afraid that he, as the opposing general, would be killed if David became king of all Israel.
Judah pledged allegiance to David 2:4 because (1) He was from their own tribe, (2) he kept close ties with Judah (3) He had protected their land and shared battler spoil with them (1sam 30:26). In addition the elder of Judah may have known that David had been convicted by Samuel as Israel’s next king and therefore, was God’s choice (1sam 16:13). 2 sam 2:8

Do not seek for crafty invention, but seek for the living God, for He alone bears the issues of life, when you will walk uprightly In Him so shall He keep you, and so shall He stay you and so shall His hand be over you. This day rejoice and be glad, give thanks that it is the Lord, the omnipresent, the glorious, the one true God, who has made the way simple, pure and undefiled walk there in with joy and thanksgiving. Walk their in knowing that He has purposed the way you. It is not difficult thing for men to walk with the Lord, the Father of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. But when men refuse to obey the Lord they bring their own difficulties and they make it a mess, and they make it transgressions. But it need not be so. For the Lord has made the way pure and undefiled and simple. Walk there in day with thanksgiving.

JUNE-14
WALKING ON A SNARE

Job 18:8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare. , Eliphaz declared that Jobs view of God was too small, and he criticized Job for thinking that God was too far removed from earth to care about him. And he said, if Job knew of Gods intense, personal interest in him, he wouldn’t dare take his sins so lightly. Eliphaz had a point – some people do take sin lightly because they think God is far away and doesn’t notice all we do. But his point did not apply to Job (Job 22:10-14) 18:8-21

Bildad’s second speech was ready no different from his first except that it was harsher, as was Eliphazs. When we face difficulties, pain and suffering, we can expect well-meaning “Bided” to come along, quoting proverbs and giving advice and not really listening to us or identifying with our pain. Rather than seeking to understand, they give unhelpful, trite answer. When receiving this useless thing advice, listen politely. Then in order to sort out the helpful advice from the empty words, talk to God about what was said. When giving advice avoid empty words and stock answers. It is more important to convey care and support them to worry about saying the right thing. (The lord shows me the mediation meeting by either curfew of Ghana, he caution about cur and Kikuyu)

Seek not for other gods, not in any disguise but seek for the Living God then Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for when you will seek for Him He will come to you and the will satisfy you and He will feed you with the finest of wheat seek for the Lord Jesus Christ for he is the strength of His people. Rejoice even this day that when you look to Christ and when you seek for Him, He opens up, reveals Himself and that you are privileged to partake of Him.


JUNE-15
WALKING IN THE CIRCUIT OF HEAVEN
The clouds and darkness that surround God symbolize His unapproachable holiness and the inability of people to find Him. Psa 139:11, If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12: Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.. When men shall strive one against another, they shall not enter into the Lord. But when they will strive against sin and strive to enter into the Living God, then shall they achieve for if men will strive according to God’s kingdom, their striving would not be in vain. But when they strive out of bitter envy one against another it is foolishness and vanity, and they gain nothing. There are multitudes who claim they are God’s people, yet they Bache bite and devour, they fear up one another, but seek to enter into Christ the son of the Living God. Strive to achieve in the race strive to come forth in the kingdom of God. Strive to accomplish the things that the Living God would purpose for you. For indeed when you will strive in such away, you do not strive in vain, but you strive for the mastery of the Kingdom.


JUNE-16
WHEN BY HIS LIGHT I WALK THROUGH DARKNESS
Job 29:3When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness; One theme in poetic literature of the Bible is that God is incomprehensible, we cannot know him completely. This dies not mean that we cannot have any knowledge about Him, for the Bible is full of details about who God is, how we can know Him and how we can have an eternal relationship with Him. What it means is that we can never know enough to answer all of life’s questions (Ecclesiastes 3:11), to predict our own future, or to manipulate God for our own ends. Life always has more questions than answers and we must constantly go to God for fresh insights into life’s dilemma (37:19-24)

This day be glad and rejoice, give thanks to the living God that He is omnipresent the glorious, the one true God, that He gives you the opportunity to come forth in the abundance of life of who He is. Do not grow weary in well but continue as a person who has set His hands to the plow, who has set His face as flint, determined. For when we are determined, God stands with us. But when we are wavering and double minded, and foolish in our thought life, we bring about our own distress. Do not be a distressed person, but be a joyous person, be a person giving thanks continually. For indeed the living God is the God of infinite goodness and mercy to the obedient. Rejoice that you are privileged to walk in the way. Rejoice that you are privileged to receive God’s goodness, His mercy and His tender love for you. This day be rejoicing and giving thanks.


JUNE-17
THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH
Psalms 23:4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Death cast the most frightening shadow all over our lives because we are the most helpless in it’s presence we can struggle with many other enemies. Pain suffering, diseases, injury, but we cannot wrestle with dead. It has the final word. Only one person can walk with us through deaths dark valley and bring us through safety to the other side, the God of life our shepherd. With the time of our death uncertain, we should follow shepherd without an eternal confidence (Job 3:5, 10:21, 22, 24:17, Psa 44:19, 3:6, 27:1, 118:6 Isa 43:2)

In whatsoever time, as time is according to man, if a people will keep covenant with God, the living God will cause them to be a blessed people. For indeed it gives God pleasure when people will keep their promises and their covenant to Him. It gives God pleasure when His people are true. Therefore do not be a respecter of times, but know that it is Jesus Christ is the son of the living God who shall keep this covenant with you. It is the living God who shall cause us to e blessed people. Lock to the living God and knew that He is able. Lock not of the circumstance of the wickedness of men’s hearts in this generation, but look to the living God and knew that He is well able, to a people who will keep their covenant, to pour out His blessedness. Rejoice this day to be God’s covenant people.

JUNE-19
AS FOR ME I WILL WALK IN MINE INTEGRITY
Psa 26:11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me. David was not claiming to be sinless –that is impossible for any human being. But he was continually in fellowship with God, clearing His record when he sinned by asking his name of the false charges laid against him by his enemies. We also can ask God to cross-examine us so we stay in close fellowship with Him, trusting Him to forgive our sins according to His mercy. (Psa 26:1-3)

Psa 44:22-Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23: Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.
24: Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
25: For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
26: Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake. The writer cried to God to save his people by His constant love – they like a sheep a waiting slaughter. Nothing can separated us from the love of God, not even deaths (Rom 8:36-39) When you fear for your life, ask God for deliverance and remember that even physical death can not separate you from Him (Exodus 14:30, Isa 59:20)

This day rely not on the hysteria of your carnal mind. For the carnal mind is easily triggered and may become hysterical over the smallest of things. Likewise rely not upon the drunkenness of the carnal mind. For the carnal mind is easily intoxicated. But rely upon the soberness of the mind of the Holy Spirit for in the mind of the Holy Spirit there is truth and the living God will lead you soberly forward by a plain path, and He will directs your steps. Therefore this night, trust not your own mind, that is your carnal mind, but trust the mind of the Holy Spirit of God. For the mind of the Holy Spirit of God is sober, it is clear, it is light. It will lead you in the pathway of hope. Rejoice ever this night that the Living God doer give the mind of His Holy Spirit to you. For there are many who are triggered, they are set off in the mind of their own interpretation, that is the carnal mind. They are set in discord; they are set in disarray and
disappointment. But if we will seek to remain in the mind of the Holy Spirit of God, we will be soberly led forward in truth. Rejoice this night give thanks for the mind of the Holy Spirit of God, for it is clear. It is the pathway of life. Rejoice to be led in the mind of the Holy Spirit.

WALK ABOUT ZION AND GO ROUND ABOUT HER
Psa 48:12-Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
13: Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following. After an enemy army had unsuccessfully besieged Jerusalem, it was common for the people to mark a tour of the city inspecting its defenses and praising God for the protection it had offered. In times of great joy or after God has brought us through some great trial, we ought to inspect our defenses to make sure that the foundations of God, His Word, and the body of believers remain strong (Eph 2:20-And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21: In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. ).

This day the Living God has positioned you in a pocket of gross and extreme darkness. But He has positioned you there not that you would be afraid, but that you would rejoice in Him for He is your light. For it is the Living God, who shall bring light into the darkness, it is the Living God who shall cause His glorious light to shine forth. Therefore even this day rejoice for the light. Rejoice for privilege to be in His light. For indeed the whole world lies in darkness but the Lord is the light of His people.


JUNE-21
WALK TO THE HOUSE OF GOD IN COMPANY
Psa 55:12- For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13: But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
14: We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. Nothing hurts as much as a wound from a “friend”. Real friends, however stick by you in times of trouble and bring healing, love, acceptance, understanding. There will be times when friends lovingly control us, and their motives will be to help. What kind of friend are you? Don’t betray those whom you love. (Psa 35:26, 38:16, 41:9, Jer 9:4).

When God’s people shall look to Him, though they be in darkened times and darkened places, He shows forth His light. This day rejoice for the light that the Living God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is. But likewise when men shall turn aside from God, they shall be gulfed by the darkness, therefore turn not aside but turn to the Lord continually and know that He is the light that does lead us forth. This day rejoice for the privilege to be in the light of God, for though you are positioned in a pocket of darkness, God’s light is exceeding bright.


JUNE-22
THAT I MAY WALK BEFORE GOD IN THE LIGHT OF THE LIVING
Psa 56:13For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living? This is not a promise that all believers will escape starvation or violent death Thousands of Christians saints have been beaten to death, whipped , fed to lions or executed (Romans 8:35-36, Heb 11:32-40). God can (and often miraculously doer) deliver his followers from pain and death though sometimes (for purposes known only to Him) He chooses not to. In the midst of these harsh realities we must focus on the wise judgments of God. David was pleading for God’s watchful care and protection. In times of crisis, we can do the same (Psa 116:81, 86:13).

All who will enter into the Holy Spirit of the Living God and abide in the same He will give them His light and His light shall shine upon their path and take them forward. Rejoice and be glad for the privilege to be children of light. Do not despise the light that is given, but give thanks for the same. For indeed without God’s light all men would walk in darkness and fall out along the way. But through God’s light, we are brought forth in hope, we are brought forth in peace and safety. Rejoice for the light that the Lord gives.


JUNE-23
THEM THAT WALK UPRIGHTLY
Psa 84:11For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. This verse does not promise that God will give us everything we think is good, but that He will not with hold what is permanently good. He will give us the means to walk along His paths, but He must do the walking. When we obey Him, He will not hold anything back that will help us continue to live for Him. (Psa 34:9-10).

We live in a time of great abomination; we live in a time of great vileness and corrupted ness and extreme wickedness. The filthiness that is committed day by day by day, we can’t even believe. But the Living God who does see all things, know the filth the vileness, the abomination that is committed day by day by day God knows the detestable things that occur and He warns us that coming upon the face of the earth, particularly in this nation, there shall be a great rise in the co-mingling of men and beast. For their appetite is wetted for abomination. Their hunger of filthiness and vileness and corrupted ness has been stirred and they will stop short at nothing.

JUNE-24
THE PESTILENCE THAT WALK IN DARKNESS
Psa 91:5-Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6: Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. God is a refuge and shelter when we are afraid. The psalmist’s faith in God as a protector would carry him through all the dangers and fears of life. This should be a picture of our trust – trading all our fears for faith in Him, no matter what kind of fear it may be. (Psa 112:7, 121:7, Job 5:19, Prov 3:23-24, Isa 43:2)

In this generation men will defile themselves with practices of things of great abomination in God’s eyes. And we will cry out in defiance of their appetite, in defiance of their filthiness in defiance of their abominations. We will cry out against the vile corrupted sins they shall perform. For it shall be a new vogue, for they have already defiled themselves, men with men, women with women now they shall turn to beasts. Their issue shall be as the issue of horses. They shall give themselves over to abominable practices and detestable activities. For we are living in times of great abominations. Just as God had Ezekiel to view the abomination of the elders, so shall we view the abominations of the elders? But those who will cry out for the iniquity, cry out for the sinfulness and cry out for the vileness they shall be spared from God’s wrath.


JUNE-25
WHO WALKS UPON THE WINGS OF THE WIND
Psa 104:3Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:. The image of thy spirit of God brooding over the dark vapors (or, over the surface of thy deep waters) likens God’s spirit to a bird caring for and protecting its young (Deut32:11, Isaiah 31:5) God spirit was actively involved in the creation of thy world (Job 33:4, psalm 104:30, Amos 9:6,
Gen 1:2)

This day cry out for thy great and horrid abomination, it shall only increase, but cry out against it. The living God is causing you to know this in thus time, that you may know that it is the living God who will purpose you in the offensive against this abomination. Rejoice that the lord shall purpose you and give you strength.


JUNE-26
I WILL WALK BEFORE THE LORD
Psalm 16:8- I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9: Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. I the slave marked of the ancient world, a slave had to be redeemed or ransomed (someone paid the price) in order to go free. In mark 10:45, Ephesians 1:7 and Hebrews 9:12 we learn that Jesus paid such a price so that we could be set free from slavery to sin in order to begin living a new life with him.

There is no way for a person to buy eternal life with God. God alone can redeem a soul. If you are counting on wealth and physical comfort to keep you happy, understand that you will never have enough wealth to keep your self from hell (Psa 49:8, 9, 15 , 56 :13 ) .

Do you wonder why God has set you the midst of heatless darkles, do you wonder why the lord has set you in the midst of ancient devils, and do you wonder why the lord has set you in the midst of civilizations destroyed? The lord has set you in this place to show his glory. For the standard of His righteousness and the standard of his holiness shall be raised up in this place, where men have defiled themselves in all manner of abomination. It is the living God who has purpose if to be so, for He shall rise up His standard through a holy and a righteous people. He will raise His standard in the midst of an area that has been subject to abomination. He will rise up His standard in an area where everything denigrating has been committed by men.

JUNE-27
I WILL WALK AT LIBERTY
Psa 119:45And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. The Psalms talk about being free with the limits of God’s laws”. Ironically, obeying God’s laws frees us to be what God designed us to be. By seeking God’s salvation and forgiveness, we have freedom from sin and the resulting oppressive guilt by living God’s way we have freedom to fulfill God’s plan forms. (Psa 119:44-46 / 138:1, Mt 10:18, 19, Acts 26, 9, 2.

The issues of life are to be found in Christ. Therefore this day rejoice and be glad that the very issues of life are to be found in Christ. For men search throughout the earth to find the issues of life, but they find them not. They follow demon voice until they are mad, but yet they find not life. The very issues of life come from Christ the son of thy living God. Therefore rejoice and be glad. For you need not search in vein, but you may come into Christ and particle of the life that He is. Rejoice and be glad this day that are among God people. Rejoice and be glad that are privileged to be his. Rejoice and be glad that you chase not after the wind but that you may abide in Christ. Rejoice as God’s people.


JUNE-28
THROUGH I WALK IN THE MIDST OF TROUBLE
Psa 138:7: Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.. As long as there have been armies and weapon, nations have boasted of their power, but such power does not last. Throughout history, empire and kingdom have risen to great power only to vanish in the dust. David however knew that the true might of his nation was not in the weaponry but in God’s power. Since God alone can preserve a nation or an individual, be sure your confidence is in God who gives external victory. Who do you trust? (Exodus 15:12, Ezra 9:8, 9, Psa 20:6-8, 23:4)

When men will wax build in their iniquities, they despise the true. But
When men are humbled down through the consequences of
Their iniquities, they will accept the truth. Pray for great humbling to come. Pray for the great humbling to come that men may see the burden of their own sin revealed that men may see the fruit of their iniquities and receive the lashes accompanying the same when men are bold and proud in their iniquities, they despise the truth. But when men are shoved down by the burden of their own iniquities, then will they receive the truth.


JUNE-29
HE THAT WALK UPRIGHTLY WALKS SURELY
Proverbs 10:9He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. , 28:17-18A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
18: Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. . A sinner’s conscience will drive either into the hell of guilty and on to repentance, or into hell itself because of a refusal to repent. It is act of kindness to try to make him feel better, the more guilt he feels the more likely he is to turn to God and repent. If we interfere with the natural consequences of his act we may make it easier for him to continue in sin.

Isa 33:14-16The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
15: He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
16: He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. There sinners realized that they could not live in the presence of the Holy God, for He is like fire that consumes evil. Only those whose faith produces honesty and fairness can live with God. We are give examples of how to demonstrate our honesty and fairness, we can reject fraud and bribes, refuse to plot wrong actions and resist temptation. If we are fair and honest in our relationship, we will be able to dwell with God and He will supply our needs (Psalm 23:4 Prov 3:23, 26:27 Mt10: 26 pray that men will see the error of their way that they will see the filthiness and abomination they have committed that they will see the fruit and the consequences of their iniquities for when men will see that they are full of filthiness and corruption and the fruit of the some, when they will receive the burden of their own sins, many
will bow down and repent. Therefore pray that men will receive the burden of their own sins, not that they will wax bold
in their iniquities, but that they will receive the strips that accompany their iniquities
and they will be bowed down by the same.


JUNE-30
HE THAT WALKS WITH WISEMEN SHALL BE WISE
Prov 13:20He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. The old said, “A rotten apple splits the barrel” is often applied to friendship and with good reason. Our friends and associated affect us. Sometimes potently. Be careful whom you choose as your closest friend. Spend time with people you’d be glad to be like because you and your friend will surely grow to resemble each other. Thank God this day, that the living God do chastise in order men would repent pray for God chastising have to be raised up that it would come down upon those who are full of iniquities pray even this neglect unity comment it to be so for many men must see the burden of their own sins and receive the stripes the lashes that accompany their iniquities in order to repent pray for the some of God people

JULY-1
BETTER IS THE POOR THAT WALKS IN INTEGRITY

Prov 19:1 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. , 28:6 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. Honesty is for more valuable than wealth, but most people don’t believe as if they believe this. They are so afraid of being short of money that they will pay any price to have more cheating on their taxes, stealing from stores or employers withholding titles, refusing to give. But when we know and love God, we realize that honesty is a greater treasure than money in the bank. A lower standard of living or even poverty is a small price to pay for personal integrity do your action show that you value integrity more than wealth? What changes do you need to make in order to get your priorities right?

Draw of the Lord for He is the life. Draw of the way of the Lord for He is the truth, rejoice for consider the multitudes who perish in their sins while they try to draw of idols who are empty. But indeed you are privileged for you may draw of the Lord for He is full of life; He is the truth and the way. Rejoice and be glad. Continually declare Christ that men may be brought into the way. For all the ways of men are controversies, they are death but Jesus Christ the Son of the living God is the life.


JULY-2
WHO SO WALKS WISELY SHALL BE DELIVERED

Prov 28:26He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered For many people, the rugged individualist is a hero. We admire the bold, self directed men and women who know what they want and fight for it. They are self reliant, neither giving nor asking advice. What a contrast to Gods way. A person can’t know the future and can’t predict the consequences of his choices with certainty. The total self reliant person is self condemned by self proclaimed independence but the wise person is protected by dependence in God.

Rejoice even this day, be glad, give thanks, serve the Lord with gladness all of your day, and serve Him with thanksgiving and joy. Thank the Lord that He is your God. Many are the distresses of those who turn aside for they shall know sorry continually but the Lords true words and blessed ones shall know His joy and peace. Serve the Lord with gladness all of your days. Be not amongst the troop who are steeped in sorrow because of their choices, but rather be delighting yourself in Christ, and fighting the joy of who he is. When any men kick against God, it is because he is high minded, proud and arrogant. But the men of humility will know that it is only through Jesus Christ that the issues of life are found, and that the joy remains.


JULY-3
THE FOOL WALK IN DARKNESS
Eccl 2:13 – Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
14: The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.
15: Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
16: For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool. Solomon concluded that even if the life is futile, it is still better to be wise than foolish, to live with good judgment than spent your life in ignorance. Seeking wisdom has definite advantages in this life. The wise men, however, will die like anyone else. This thought causes Solomon to say that wisdom, beneficial in this life, is ultimately futile. Because knowledge has its limits the most important knowledge is found in knowing the infinite God. (Eccl 8:1, Prov 17:24, Eccl 9:2, 3, Psa 49:10).

Be not high minded, for pride is nothing but distress and abomination. Be not proud, but be lowerly and rejoice in the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of the living God and His way. Thank Him for the mercy that He gives you day by day, for He is the merciful God. Who will not find the mercies that He gives amidst the troop of the heathen, but you will find the mercies only in Him. Thank God this day for the mercies that He gives.


JULY-4
LET US WALK IN THE LIGHT OF THE LORD

Isaiah 2:5O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD. We are told here of a wonderful future of peace, when we will be taught Gods laws and we will obey them. We know that one day God will remove all sins that cause war, conflict, and disruption. Yet we do not need to wait to obey God. In 2:5, we are encouraged along with Judah to obey God now He has given word for direction and guidance in order to obey Him now. Some benefits of obedience we will receive only in the future. But we may enjoy some benefits now as we apply Gods word to our lives.

When Gods people will keep their visions single to Him, He blesses his people. But when Gods people shall turn aside and wander after other gods, He curses His own people, for it does not give God pressure that His people will wander after other gods. But it gives God pleasure that His people would serve him. Therefore this day, keep your vision single. Let not your hearts go after the images, the images, the idols of heathen, but serve the Lord with all of your heart. For when you will serve the Lord you will know the blessedness of His covering over you.


JULY-5
THE PEOPLE WHO WALK IN DARKNESS
Isa 9:2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. In a time of great darkness, God promised to send a light who would shine on every one living in the shadow of death. He is both “Mighty God” (all-powerful) and “consider” (all- loving). This message of hope was fulfilled in the birth of Christ and the establishment of His eternal kingdom. He come to deliver all people from their slavery to sin (Jn 1:9, Mt 4:15-16)

Many are cursed in this generation because they have allowed themselves to where after the gods, the idols and the images of the heathen. Yet they think they are God’s people. Yet the Lord confounds them and causes the perversion of their way to come back into their bosom. God has not called us to walk in the perversion of His way, but He has called us to walk in truth. Therefore rejoice this day, be glad that you are given the privilege to partake of His truth continually. Rejoice and be glad this day that you are given the privilege to partake of His light. Rejoice for the purpose of a single vision; rejoice for the purpose of God’s vision for you. Be glad as God’s people.

JULY-6
AS MY SERVANT HAS WALKED NAKED AND BARE FOOT
Isa 20:3And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia; God asked Isaiah to do something that seemed shameful and illogical. There may be times when we are asked to obey God in ways we don’t understand at present. We must obey God in complete faith, for He will never ask us to do something wrong.
Thank the Living God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who does raise you up for His own good purpose and plan. For God has not raised you up to be pleasing to men but He has raised you up and purposed you. Too many get their eyes off of the Lord and on to the opinions of men. They compromise and likewise fall away. Then instead of causing souls to be saved, they cause them to be damned through their compromising and through their heresies.

JULY-7
A VOICE SAYING THIS IS THE WAY WALK IN IT
Isa 30:21And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. If the people of Jerusalem, left God’s path, He would correct them. He will do the same for us. But when we hear His voice of correction, we must be willing to follow it!

When any man will get his eyes off of Jesus Christ and the pleasing of Him, he turns into an enemy of His cross. This night seek to please the Lord, seek to obey Him, for He has called you. Chosen you and raised you up for His own good purpose. Therefore hearken not to the opinions of men, but hearken to the Lord for He is your God. And rejoice that it is the Lord the Living God who has called you and purposed you, it is Him, the Living God who shall strengthen you. It is the Living God who shall strengthen you. It is the Living God who is your provision. Look to Him, give praise, give thanks, look to Him and give praise and thanks.

JULY-8
THE REDEEMED SHALL WALK THERE
Isa 35:8-And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
9: No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:
10: And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee awa The “Holy Highway” is the way from the desert of suffering to the blessings of the new life. It is found only by following God. Only the redeemed will travel God’s “Holy Highway,” They will be protected from wicked travelers and armful animals. God is preparing way for His people to travel to His home, and He will walk us. God never stops at pointing the way of us to go. He is always besides us as we go (Isa 11:9, Lev 26:6, Ezk 34:25, Isa 59:20)

Partake of the power of God’s presence for when God’s people partake of Him, they do not in confusion and delusion and religious madness. But when God’s people partake of those things of Sodom and Egypt, they grow confused and deluded. They are as mad men for if men will not keep His feet upon the path, He will slip and slide and be entangled in bushes, He will fall into dishes but when men will keep His vision single upon Christ, god will stay the man.

JULY-9
THAT WALK IN DARKENESS AND HAS NO LIGHT
Isa 50:10-Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
11: Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow., if we warm ourselves “from our own fires and not from God” we become self sufficient and the results of self sufficiency is sorrow. When we place confidence in our own intelligence, appearance or accomplishments we risk deep sorrow later when these strengths fades (Psalms 19:9, 2nd Chro 20:20, Psalms 20:7)

It is the Living God who shall stay you bring you forth, it is the Living God who shall purpose you and give you light. It is the Living God who shall bring you by playing part. Even this day rejoice and be glad that you are privileged to partake of the power of God’s presence, that you are privileged to partake the power of God’s rights. Day by day seek for Christ the son of Living God and draw of the strength that He is. For indeed we live in a sin seek and maddened world

JULY-10
WALK IN THE LIGHT OF YOUR FIRE
Isa 5:13Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst., the nation’s heroes the great and honered men would suffer. why? Because they lived by their own values rather than God, many of today’s heroes in TV, movies, politics and books are idolized because of their ability to live as they please are you heroes those who defy God or those who defy the word in order to serve God? (Isa 50:11, 65: 13-15, Mt 8:12, Luke 13:28, Jer 24:9).

We live in a world when men will lose their mind daily, they will go insane, and they will be raving and ranting bringing forth the wind. But the lord will give you this sober mind and lead you forth by plain path if you come into the power of His presence continually seek for the lord and you shall find Him, continually abide in the lord and you shall know His peace .For He is the living God and it gives Him pleasure to give His light to His people. Seek for the living God. With all of your heart, desire Him for He is yours, He is your God, your maker and your source. Rejoice that you are privileged to be God’s people.


JULY-11
ASK WHERE IS THE GOOD WAY AND WALK THERE IN
Jer44:16-As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee.
17: But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
18: But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. The farther use drift from God, the more confused our thinking becomes. Whatever spiritual life was left in the Israelites when they went to Egypt was lost as they sank into depths of idolatry. (For more information on the “Queen of Heaven sees Jer7:18) The escape to Egypt had brought a change in their pagan worshiping habits, and they blamed their troubles on their neglect of their idols. But idol worship heel started all their problems in the first place. They refuse to recognize the true source of their problem-departure from God’s heeling. Calamity forces you to examine your life take a dose look at God’s instruction for you (Isa 62:10, Jer 2:32, 6:16, 7:9, 18:15, Ex16:3, 2 Kg 17:16, Philip3:19).
There are many ways that seem right to men, but those ways are destruction Go not in the broad way but go in the straight and narrow way that God has ordained for you. For in the times of great madness and delusion, a man must gird up his loins and walk circumspectly redeeming the time. We live in a time, for men are mad on every hand, therefore gird up your loins and come forth circumspectly, walk with Christ alone be not easily led into the broad way, but stay in the straight and narrow for in the straight and narrow is the path way of Christ’s life the path way of His safety and the path way of His peace.


JULY-12
IT IS NOT IN A MAN THAT WALKS TO DIRECT HIS STEPS

Jer 10:23 – O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
24: O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. Gods ability to plan our lives well is infinitely beyond our ability. Sometimes we are afraid of Gods power and Gods plan because we know His power would easily crush us if we used it against us. He does not do this, however when we come to Him for guidance. Be unafraid to let God correct your plan. He will give you wisdom if you are willing (Prov 16:1, 20:24, Jer 30:11, Psa 6:1, 38:1).

Many who say that they are Christians (Gods people) are destroyed. For they do not walk in the pathway of who He is. They do not walk in the pathway of Gods peace, His safety and light, but they veer off of the path and they follow after other gods, they hearken to other voices and they are likewise destroyed. But when God calls to His people and when they will obey, they are kept. This day when you will hearken to the voice of God and obey, you are kept. If you would stop and consider the multitude of dangers that the living God has kept you through, the tribulation, the sorrows that God has steadied you through it is because you have hearkened to His voice.

HAS WALKED IN THE MIDST OF STONES OF FIRE

Ezekiel 28:14Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. (12 – 19) Some of the phrases in His passage which describe the human king of tyre may describe Satan. Great care must be taken to interpret these verses with discernment. It is clear that, at times Ezekiel describes this King in terms that could not apply to a mere man. This King had been in the garden of Eden (28:13) had been a guardian angel (28:14) and had access to the Holy mountain of God (28:14) but he was cast down from the mountain (28:16,17). Ezekiel, therefore may have been pronouncing judgment not only on the King of tyre, but on Satan who had motivated the King to sin (Exodus 25:17, 20, Ezekiel 20:40, Daniel 2:37, 38, 5:18 – 23, Rev 18:16).

Likewise in circumstances where men refuse to listen to the living God they are destroyed. The Lord has not called us to be destroyed, but he has called us to be brought forth. Therefore continually hearken to Him for the living God will keep you in the pathway of life, He will keep you in His safety and keep in His peace therefore greatly rejoice and give thanks that it is the Lord, the living God the Father of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ who has purposed you and brought you forth. Rejoice even this day that He is the merciful that He is the abundant and that He is the one true God. Rejoice that He gives His tender mercies to you day by day by day.

THOSE THAT WALK IN PRIDE

Dan 4:37Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase., 1 Sam 2:3 -5 most likely in these verses Hannah was referring to Penninah arrogance, and chiding. Hannah did not have to get even with her however, because she understood that God is all-knowing and that He will judge sin and arrogance even If it is hidden. No one can get away with sin, and so Hannah wisely lifts judgment up to God. Resist the temptation to take judgment into your own hands (Exodus 18:8 – 11, Mt 11:25, Dan 5:20).

Like not to the left nor right, look not to the multitudes, look not to the world with all of its systems, but look to the living God, for He alone is your keeper, your maker and your God. Look to the Lord and draw the peace that He is, look not to the multitudes, look not to the world with all of its systems, but look to the living God, for He alone is your keeper, your maker and your God. Look to the Lord and draw the peace that He is, look to Him and know that He is your safety. Rejoice even this day that He leads you forth by a plain path; rejoice that He keeps you in the narrow way, the way that brings forth life. There are many who wander off to the broad way and likewise they die, they perish in sin, they perish in iniquity, they perish in foolishness. But when you will pray with the living God the Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, He will keep you in the pathway of life. Rejoice even this day that it is the Living God who has guided
you through many countless danger and has kept you in the way.

JULY-15
THE JUST SHALL WALK IN THEM

Hos 14:9Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein. Gods concern for justice that requires faithfulness and mercy that offers forgiveness can be seen in His dealings with Hosea. We can err by forgetting Gods love and feeling that our sins are hopeless, but we can also err by forgetting His wrath against our sins and thinking He will continue to accept us no matter how we act. Forgiveness is a key word, when God forgives yes; He judges the sin but shows mercy to the sinner. We should never be afraid to come to God for a clean slate and a renewed life (Job 34:10 – 12, Prov 1:5, 6, 4:18, Rom 9:34).

We shall remain. But when we shall build upon the sifting sands and the shifting sands of men’s knowledge, we do not remain. There are many who thought that they were wise, they listened to the wisdoms of their ancients, that is the ones who have departed and gone into hell, but rather hearken to Gods wisdom, for His wisdom remains and He is the infinite God.

JULY-16
CAN TWO WALK TEGETHER?

Amos 3:3Can two walk together, except they be agreed? When you have an unresolved conflict with someone, you may feel that a wall separates you from that person. The joy of being with a close friend is the closeness God wants to have with us. If your sin has put a wall of separation between you and God, ask Him to forgive you so you ear again walk with Him as with a close friend. (Gen5:22, 6:9 Lev26:23, 24).

Rejoice in the lord this day is glad, give thanks that Him alone is your God, your maker, your source and your ever present help in time of need. Thank God that He is your refuge, your mercy and your abundance. Seek the lord with all of your heart and He will come to you. Rejoice even this day that the lord is the living God there is none like Him. God’s wisdom is life, and all of those who will receive the same and hold it to their bosoms, they shall benefit in this life and in the life to come Rejoice that the living God does give His wisdom to you day by day by day that you may walk there in and be kept.

JULY-17
TO WALK HUMBLY WITH YOUR GOD
Mic6:8He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? people have tried all kinds of ways to please God (6:7, 7) but God has made his wishes clear, He wants his people to be fair, just and merciful, and to walk humble with Him. In your efforts to please God, examine this area on a regular basis. Are you fair in dealing with people? Do you show mercy to those who wrong you? Are you learning humility? Only those who obey God because they want to please him live in a proper relationship with Him. (Deut 10:12-13, 1 Sam 15:22, Hos 6:6, 12:6, Isa 57:15, Lev 26:14)

Continue to lift up God’s standard for, without God’s standard all men with perish in darkness. Continue to declare God’s righteousness and His true holiness. Do not be ashamed to declare Him as He is. For many have been compromised out, they have been seduced by demons. They have lost their stand in the lord, but if you will remain true to him you shall serve as salt upon the earth. For indeed God has called you to be a vassal of honor.

JULY-18
WHERE THE LION WALK
Nahum 2:11Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid?, Ezk 19:1, Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2: And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions. , 7: And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fullness thereof, by the noise of his roaring. Ezekiel used illustration to communicate many of his messages with the pictures of the lioness and her cub he raised the Curiosity of his listeners. The lioness symbolized the nation of Judah and the two cubs were two of her King. The first cub was King Jehoahaz, who was taken captive to Egypt in 609 BC, by Pharaoh Nico. The second cub was either King Jehoahaz, who had already been taken into captivity (2 King 24:8) or King Zedekiah who soon would be. This illustration showed that for Judah, there was no hope for a quick return from exile, and no escape from the approaching Babylonian armies (Job 4:10, 11)

Gird up your loins with truth and stay true to the living God. For the
Degradations of men and men and women are innumerable, but it is the living God who shall cause the one who will adhere to His standard to be brought forth. Therefore do not be ashamed to declare Christ as He is for if Christ is not lifted up as He is all men will perish in their sins. Rejoice for the privilege to, declare Christ rejoice for the privilege to know Him. Rejoice to live in His standard be a people rejoicing and giving thanks to God for He is your God.

JULY-19
THE ANGEL WAL KED TO AND FRO THROUGH THE EARTH
Zech 1:11And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest. The angel saw that all the nations were at peace and prosperous while Israel was still conquered and despised But God was planning a change. He had released His people, and he would allow them to return and rebuild his Temple. (Habl: 4, Zech 1:15 1 Thess 5:3)
This day fret not yourself because of governments but look to the lord for He is your God. Look to the lord for He is your source and refuge. Look to the lord for He is your strength and provision. Do not allow the words of the government of men to fret you up. But rather look to the lord the father of our lord and savior Jesus Christ He is continually knowing that He is your God, knowing that He is your strength your refuge and your provision. For the lord is higher then any government and when you will thank and praise the living God if will make the way and upon doors for you.

JULY-20
WHAT PROFIT DOES IT THAT WE HAVE WALKED MOURNFULLY?
Mal 3:14,Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
15: And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. Two strong themes wind their way through these vases (1) wicked prosper, faithful people wondering why they bother to be good, and (2) the wealth of the wicked looks so inviting that faithful people may wish they could trade places. But there two themes come to unexpected ends, for the wealth of the wicked suddenly stops at that great gulf separating this life and the next, and the rewards for good suddenly take on eternal value. What seemed like wealth is now waste and what seemed worthless now lasts forever. Don’t be tempted to wise you could trade places with evil people to get their wealth. One day they will wish they could trade places with you and have your eternal wealth. (Ps 73:8-13, Isa58:3, Jer 7:10, Zeph 1:12)

Do not be defected by circumstance, but look to the living God, giving thanks and giving praise, exalting the Lord for He is your God. And you will see that the way is open, for the Living God shall open the way. This day rejoice and be glad that the Lord is the omnipresent, that He is the glorious, that He is the one true God and that He makes the way for you. Even this day put into practice what the Lord tells you. Do not go round cursing and murmuring, but giving thanks and praise to the Lord. For the Living God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is higher than any government, and He is your God He is your provision and your source.

JULY-21
ARISE AND WALK
Acts 3:6Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. The lame beggar asked for money but peter gave him something much better the use of his legs. We often ask God to solve a small problem, but he wants to give us a new life and help for all our problems. When we ask God for help, he may say I have got something even better for you. Ask God for want you want, but don’t be surprised when he gives you what you really need.

Mt 9:5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? , 9And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him. “Talk is cheap,” Jesus replied to the hostile leaders. He then backed up his words by healing the man’s legs. Talk is indeed cheap our actions do not back them up (Mk 2:9, Lk 5:23, Jn 5:8,11,12, Mt 8:8, Mk 1:27, Rm 10:8-13, 3:23, Mt 8:20, 21:23-27, Jn 3:35, 5:27, Acts 2:36, 4:7-12)

Rejoice in the Lord this day and be glad, rejoice in the Lord this day and give thanks. Rejoice in the Lord this day. Know that He is your maker and your source. The Living God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ leads you forth by a plain path, He directs your steps.

JULY-22
HE WALKED ON THE WATER
Mt 14:29And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. Peter was not testing Jesus, something we are told not to do (4:7). Instead he was the only one in the boat to reach in faith. His impulsive request led him to experience a rather unusual demonstration of God’s power. Peter started to sink because he took his eyes off Jesus and focused on the high waves around him. Then his faith wavered when He realized what he was doing. We may not walk on water, but we do walk through tough situations. If we focus on the waves of difficult circumstances around us without looking to Christ for help, we too may despair and sink. To maintain your faith in the midst of difficult situations, keep your eyes on Christ’s power rather then on your inadequacies.

Although we start out with good intention sometimes our faith falters. This doesn’t necessarily mean we have failed. When Peter’s faith faltered he reached out to Christ, the only one who could help. He was afraid but he still looked to Christ. When we are apprehensive about the troubles around us and doubt Christ’s presence or ability to help, we must remember that He is the only one who can really help. (Matt 14:28-31)

When men harden their hearts, they receive not God’s goodness. But when they bow down and give thanks to God, His goodness does come. This is the time of His goodness. Receive God’s goodness with thanksgiving, for this is the time that His goodness has come. Give the thanks and the praise to the Lord for He alone is God. Give the thanks and praise, for He alone is the maker.

JULY-23
HE APPEARED TO TWO OF THEM AS THEY WALKED
Mk 16:12Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. The two disciples returning to Emmaus missed the significance of History’s greatest event because they were too focused on their disappointments and problems so much so that they didn’t recognize that it was Jesus walking beside them. To compound the problem they were walking in the wrong direction away from the fellowship of believers in Jerusalem. We are likely to miss Jesus and withdraw from the strength found in other believers when we become preoccupied with our dashed hopes and frustrated plans. Only when we are looking for Jesus in our midst will, we experience the power and help He can bring (Lk 24:13-33, 1 Cor 15:35-45)

When we have done those things that the Living God would ask of us, then is He well pleased? But when we are stubborn against the Lord, and refuse to obey Him, He is disgusted. The Lord has not called us to be disgust, but He has called us to be a pleasure to Him. Therefore seek daily for the path of obedience. Day by day by day seek to do those things well pleasing to God. For indeed He shall cause you to dwell in pleasant places when you seek to please Him. Rejoice even this day that you are privileged to dwell in pleasant place when you give the pleasure to him that is when you give the obedience. Rejoice that are God’s chosen.

JULY-24
I MUST WALK TODAY AND TOMORROW
Lk 13:33Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. Jesus saw the phones as Herod’s messengers who would report Him. They argued Him to leave because they wanted to stop Him from going to Jerusalem. But Jesus work, life and death were not to be determined by Herod or the Pharisees. His life was planned and directed by God Himself and His mission would unfold in God’s time according to God’s plan. Why was Jesus ailing for Jerusalem? Jerusalem the city of God symbolized the enter nation. It was Israelis largest city and nation’s spiritual and political capital, and Jesus from around the world visited it frequently. But Jerusalem had a history of rejecting the prophet sent by God (2chron 24:19, 1kin 19:10, Jr2:30) and it would reject the messiah just as it had rejected His forerunners (Lk 13:31, 34 Mt 16:21 Lk 19:41-44)

It is the fools who harden their hearts against God, for they cause their own distress. But the wise will bow to the lord and give thanks, and praise. This day bow to the living God the father of our lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and give thanks and praise. Thank the lord again that He is your God, your source, your refuge and your mercy


JULY-25
SHALL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS
Jn 8:12Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. What does it mean to follow Christ? As a soldier follows his captain, so we should follow Christ as our commander. As a slave follows his master so we should follow Christ as our lord. As we follow our the advice of a trusted counselor, we should fellow Jesus commands to in scripture As we follow the laws of a nation, so we follows Christ laws because we are citizens of heaven. Jesus called himself the light of the world, Jn 1:4.

Jesus was speaking in the part of the temple known as the Treasury (8:20) where the candles burned to symbolize the pillar of fire that led the people of Israel through the wilderness (Exodus13:21, 22) in this contest Jesus called Himself the light of the world. The pillar of fire represented God’s presence, protection and guidance. Jesus brings God’s presence, protection and guidance. Is he the light of your world? (Isa 9:2, Mal 4:2, 2Tim 1:10, Mt 4:8, Jn 10:10, 28, Mt 7:14, Rev 22:19)

When God’s people are true to him He is true to them. But there are many who are of a fickle heart and them themselves out for a reward in this life. And they receive their reward, the applause of men the approval of men and
they compromise the values that are in the Lord and because they desired their reward, they receive their reward, but that is they shall receive for the Living God is jealous and no man will compromise his glory and receive his glory. Therefore when you remain true, he remains true to you. But the ones who sell out to receive their reward in this world, they receive from the god of this world and that is all they receive. But the ones who will remain diligent for the truth who will remain steadfast they shall reap the benefits, they shall reap the rewards of the righteous, they shall receive God’s Omnipresent glory, they shall reap his goodness.

JULY-26
IF ANY MAN WALK IN THE DAY
Jn 11:9, Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
10: But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. Daylight means the knowledge of God’s will, night means absence of this knowledge. When we move ahead in darkness we are likely to stumble (Jn 7:30, 9:4)

This day rejoice that it is the living God who shall give every man according to his desire. Therefore seek to desire the living God the Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ with all your and He will give to you likewise. For when you give all, you are given all. Rejoice and be glad this day for the privilege to be God’s, people, for the privilege to put your head to the plow, not looking back, for the privilege to stand upon the truth and let the truth remain. Rejoice that you are privileged to be God’s.

JULY-27
WHO WALKS IN THE STEPS OF THAT FAITH
Rom 4: 12And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. Rituals did not earn any blessings for Abraham; he was blessed long before the circumcision ceremony was introduced. Gen 12:1-4 tells of Gods call to Abraham when he was 75 years old; the circumcision ceremony was introduced when he was 99 (Genesis 17:1-4) ceremonies and rituals serve as remember of our faith. They are not important in themselves, and we should not think that they give us any special merit before God. They are outward symbols that demonstrate an inner change of heart and attitude. The focus of our faith should be on Christ and his saving actions, not on our own
Actions, (Rm 4:10-12)

Rejoice in the lord for He is your life, and strength. Rejoice in the living God father of our lord and savior Jesus Christ for He is your hope. When we rejoice in the lord, we find that He is our all in all. When Gods people murmur and complain against Him, they shut themselves off, but when they will thank Him and praise Him, then does He open up to them, then are they able to receive the fullness that He is. This night thank the lord, praise him for indeed He is your God, your maker and source.

JULY-28
WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE
Rom 6:4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. In the church in Paul day, immersion was the usual form baptism – that is new Christians were completely “buried” in water. They understood this form of baptism to symbolize the death and burial of the old way of life, followed by resurrection to life with Christ. If we think of our old sinful life as deed and buried we have a powerful motive to resist sin. Not wanting the ugly old life to come back to power again, we can consciously choose to treat it as if it were dead. Then we can continue to enjoy our wonderful new life with Jesus (Gal 3:27 and Col 3:1-4 for more on this concept) Eph 4:22, Col 2:12, 3:10.

Thank the living God the father of our lord and savior Jesus Christ indeed that He is your refuge and your mercy. Thank God indeed that that He is your strength. Thank God and praise God, do not tire in thanking Him and praising Him. But serve God with gladness, serve God with rejoicing. Serve God because He is good to you.


JULY-29
WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT
Rom8:1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. “not guilty let him go free” what would these mean to you if you were on death row? The fact is, of cause that the whole human race is on death row, justly condemn for repeatedly breaking God’s Holy law. Without Jesus we would have no hope at all. But thank God: He had deeded us not guilty and has offered us freedom from sin and power to do his will (Rom 8:30, 34, 14:10 2Sam 7:14 Rev 20:12)

There is no perfect circumstance or situation. But it is God’s will in the circumstance which is perfect. Therefore do not look for the ideal time or the ideal set up, but look for God’s time of determination and look for His will for it is God’s will that is perfect. Rejoice for it is the living God who does lead you forth by a plain path. Do not look for the externals, but look for eternal. That is looking for the, living God the Father .of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. For it is the living God who makes the way perfect.

JULY-30
WE WALK BY FAITH

2Cor 5:7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:) Of the Jewish laws cannot save us, why should we still obey the Ten Commandments and other Old Testament Laws? Paul was not saying the law was bad, for in another letter he write the law itself was wholly right and good. (Rom 7:12). Instead he was saying that the law can make us acceptable to God. The law still has an important role to play in life of a Christian. The laws: -
1. Guards us from sin by giving us standards for behavior
2. Convicts us of sins, leaving us the opportunity to get in tune with God by asking His forgiveness: -
3. Drives us to trust in the sufficiency of Christ we can never keep the commandment perfectly. The law cannot possibly save us ,but after we have became Christians, the law can be a valuable guide for living a life pleasing to God(1- Cor13:12,Gal 2:16,20 Gen 3:20, Heb 11:39)

Rejoice and be glad this day, for there are many who crane the neck, they peek the eye; they look and look for the perfect circumstance or situation. They will not find it for it does not exist for the perfection is not in circumstance nor situation, but the perfection is in Christ the Son of the Living God. Therefore continually look to Him for he is the Lord of Circumstance and situation. He is higher than those things and He is able to transform even the most adverse situation and circumstances if His people but look to Him

JULY-31
AS MANY AS WALK ACCORDING TO THIS RULE
Gal 6:16For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.The main argument of the Judaizers was that Gentiles had to become Jews in order to become Christians. Paul exposed the flaw in this argument by showing that real children of Abraham are those who have faith, not those who keep the law. Abraham Himself was saved by His faith (Gen 15:6) All believers of all time and from every nation share Abraham’s blessings. This is as comforting promise, a great heritage, and a solid foundation of living. (Gal 3:6-9, Phip3:3, Rom 4:12, 9:6-8)

Continually look to Christ the Son of the Living God and give thanks and praise for Him alone is your God maker and source. Look to Him and rejoice. Look to Him and be glad, look to Him and be bow down. For He is the sovereign over you Rejoice, be glad this day, that the Lord done is your God, your matter and your source.


AUGUST-1
IN TIMES PAST YOU WALKED
Eph 2:2Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: “mighty prince of the power of the air” was understood by Paul’s readers to mean Satan and the evil spiritual forces they thought inhabited between earth and the sky. Satan is they pictured as ruling the evil would the demos and those who are against Christ. “Satan” means “the adversary” He is also called the devil (4:27 and the king of demos cmk 3:22).In His resurrection, Christ was victorious over Satan and His power. Therefore Jesus Christ is the permanent ruler of the where would. Satan is only the temporary ruler of the part of the world that choices to follow him (Tit 3:3, Col 2:20, 3:7, Jn 7:7, Rv 13:3-8, Jn 12:31, Jn 5:19)

Therefore do not begrudge the way that the living God would take you to make you needy. For when you are needy of men, then are you blessed of God. But if you shall begrudge the ways and the means that God gives to you to cause you to be needy, He will withdraw them. But then when you are sufficient within yourself you have no part in the lord. This day thank God for everything in your life that causes you to cry out to him. For when we develop the attitude of gratitude for all things then do they work together for our good, for truly it is the Lord, the living God, who desires to reveal His omnipresent, His Glory, His power to his people.

AUGUST-2
ORDAINED THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM
Eph2:10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. We become Christians through God’s unmated gift to us called “grace” in Eph 1:8, not as the result of any effort, ability, intelligent choice, or act of service to others on our part. However, out of gratitude for this free gift, we will seek to help and serve others with kindness, charity and goodness, and not merely please ourselves. While no action or ‘work’ we to can help us obtain salvation God’s intention is that our salvation will result in work of service. We are saved merely for our own benefit but for His glorify Him and build up the Church Eph 4:12, 24.

If God’s are sufficient in them and they do not need Him, they receive the benefits of drawing close to Him. Therefore greatly rejoice for everything that causes you to need the Lord, everything that the Living God has put in your life to cause you to bow down, to cause you to cry out, to cause you to desire Him. For truly this are blessings from the Living God.

AUGUST-3
WALK WORTHY OF THE VOCATION

Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: , God Has chosen us to be Christ’s representatives on earth. In light of this truth Paul challenges us to live worthy of the name “Christian” meaning Christ’s one. This included being humble, gentle patient, understanding and peaceful. People are watching you’re live. Can they see Christ in you? How well are doing as His representative? Col 3: 12, 13

Count it a privilege to be sharpen, to be pressed, to mold into God’s image. For all the images that Men could be pressed into, you are privileged to be pressed into the Living God the Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for He is your God. He is your Source, your maker and your King. Therefore count it a privilege when God would seek to press you into the image of who He is. Do not resist Him, but yield to Him and thank Him and praise Him. Do not resist the sorrows, do not resi8st the sufferings, do not resist the afflictions and the persecutions, but rather find the Lord in the midst of those things are things that He uses to press you into the image of who He is.


AUGUST-4
THAT YOU WALK NOT AS OTHER GENTILES
Eph 4:17This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, People should be able to see a different Christians and none. Christians be cause of the way Christians live. Paul tells the Ephesians to leave behind the old life of sin, now that they are followers of Christ. The Christian life is a process. Although we have a new nature, we don’t automatically have all good thoughts and attitudes when we became new people in Christ. But if we keep listening to God, we will be changing all the time. As upon look over the last year do you see a process of change for the better in year thoughts the slow, it comes about if you trust God to believers see Eph 4:17-24, 2:2 Rom 6:6, 8:9 Gals 16:26 Col 3:3-8.

Therefore greatly rejoice even this night that you are a privileged person to highest calling, you are privileged to be pressed in the image of who the living God is. This night rejoice for the loving kindness, for God’s tender mercies over you, for they are abundant. Rejoice for the goodness. That the lord gives you day by day. For indeed it is abundant, thank God again and again that you are privileged to be among God’s people.

WALK CIRCUMSPECTLY

Eph 5:15See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, By saying in these are difficult days Paul communicates his sense of urgency because of evils pervasiveness. We need the same sense of urgency because our days are also difficult. We must keep our standards high, act wisely and do well whenever we can.

It is not up to you to look for the result, it is up to you to obey. For it is the living God who brings the result that He desires when His people will obey Him. But when Gods people think that they must evaluate and determine the result and find the result immediately, they interfere with Gods workings. For often times God commands us not for the result but to test our obedience to see if we will obey Him the living God. Then He brings the RESULT THAT He desires inn His timing. Therefore seek to obey, seek to be a people who will obey the Lord in all circumstances and situations. Seek to be a people who will bring forth what God desires in this earth. For truly when you will obey the Lord you will bring forth the light, you will bring forth the glory and the purpose of who Jesus Christ is.

AUGUST-6
MARK THEM THAT WALK
Philip 3:17 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Paul challenged the Philippians to pursue Christ likeness by telling them to follow his example. This did not mean, of course that they should copy everything he did, he had just stated that he was not perfect (3:12) but as he focused his life on being like Christ, so should they, it was likely that the gospels had yet been written. So Paul could not tell them to read the bible to see what Christ was like. Therefore he urged them to imitate him. That Paul could tell people to follow his example is a testimony to his character. Can you do the same? What kind of follower would a new Christian become if he or she imitated you? 1 Pet 5:3

This day, count it a privilege to walk in His light, count it a privilege to bring forth his truth. For indeed when you will obey Him, you will bring forth that which the living God desire and that which He dreams. This day rejoice for the privilege to be co labourers. Look not at your own circumstances but look at Christ and rejoice. Look at Him and give praise and thanks. For indeed you are privileged to be gainfully employed in the labour of bringing forth souls in the labour of seeking Christ, and in the labour of promoting His kingdom in this earth, Rejoice, be glad and give thanks.

AUGUST-7
THAT YOU MIGHT WALK WORTHY OF THE LORD

Col 1:10That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Paul was exposing a heresy in the Colossians church that was a fore runner of Gnosticism (2:4) Gnosticism valued the accumulation of knowledge, but Paul pointed out that knowledge in itself is empty. To be worthy anything, it must lead to a changed life and right living. His prayer for the Colossians (1:9 – 14) has two dimensions – that they might understand what God wants, and that they might understand what God wants, and that they might understand what God wants, and that they might also have the power to do Gods will. Knowledge is not merely to be accumulated; it should give us direction for living. Paul wanted the Colossians to be wise, but to use their knowledge.
Knowledge of God is not a secret that only a few can discover, it is open to every one. God wants us not only to learn more about Him, but also to live for Him and do His will. (1 Thess 2:12, Eph 4:1, Phil 1:27, Rom 15:2, 1 Cor 10:33, 1 Thess 4:1, Jn 15:16, 2 Cor 9:8, Phil 1:11, Tit 3:1, Heb 13:21, 2 Pt 3:18)

When the enemies are encamped against you, do not give in to them. But wait upon the Lord for it is this living God, who prepares the table for you in the midst of enemies. And if you wait upon the Lord, He will get you to the table that is He will cause you to break through the ranks of the enemies and partake of what the living God has prepared back by enemies but wait upon the Lord and know that the table is prepared. And know that the living God has goodness and mercy in the very bread of heaven prepared for you. Therefore wait upon the Lord and receive what He has prepared. Do not be overwhelmed by enemies, but know that the table is already spread, thank the Lord and praise Him that it is Him who shall cause you to break through and receive. Keep your hope ever stayed upon Him for He is your abundance and glory. He is thy provision and the life. Trust Him, believe Him and thank Him.

AUGUST-8
HOW YOU OUGHT TO WALK

1 Thess 4:1Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. Sexual standards were very low in the Roman Empire, and in many societies today they are not any higher. The temptation to engage in sexual intercourse outside marriage relationship has always been powerful. Giving in to these temptations can have disastrous results. Sexual sins always hurt someone, families, businesses, and even churches. It has not only physical consequences but spiritual ones as well.

Sexual desires and activities must be placed under Christ’s control. God created sex for procreation, pleasure and as an expression of love between a husband and wife. Sexual experience must be limited to the marriage relationship to God, and our relationship to others. (1 Cor 6:15, 18, 1 Thess4:1 – 8, Col 1:10)

Think not more highly of yourself than you ought to think, but realize that it is by Gods mercy that you are brought forth. For when Gods people stay lowly before Him then does He hearken to their cries? But when Gods people are exalted within them and lifted up in their carnal reasoning and in their vain imaginations they are abominable to Him. Do not be displeasure able to God, but be well pleasing, that is stay of a meek and lowly mind before God, and think not more highly of yourself than you ought to think.

AUGUST-9
YOU MAY WALK HONESTLY

1 Thess 4:12That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. If we are full of love, it will overflow to others. It is not enough merely to be courteous to others, we must actively and persistently show love to others. Our love should be continually growing. If your capacity to love has remained unchanged for sometime, ask God to fill you again with His never-ending supply of love. Then look for opportunities to express His love. 1 Pt 2:12

You are meant to put yourself to death. Do not feed self through pride and through thinking that you are better than you are. But realize that which is in you must die that Christ may prevail and reign in you. This night ought to think. But stay low before the living God. And as you stay low God will bless you, pour out His goodness and His abundance continually upon you. Be a lowly person and you will receive the goodness that God has in store. You will eat the good of the land. You will know Gods blessedness all of your days.

AUGUST-10
FROM EVERY BROTHER THAT WALKS DISORDERLY

2 Thess 3:6Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. Some people in the Thessalonian church were falsely teaching that since Christ’s second coming could happen any day, people should set aside their responsibilities, quit work, do no future planning and just wait for Christ. But their lack of activity only led them into sin. They became a burden to the church which was supporting them, they wasted time that could have been used helping others and gossiped (3:11). They may have thought they were more spiritual by not working but Paul told them to be responsible and get back to work. Being ready for Christ means obeying Him in every area of life. Because we know Christ’s is coming, we must do everything we can to live in way that will please Him when He arrives (3:6 – 15).

Blessed are the poor that is when we are poor and needy before the Lord, blessed are we. For those who are sufficient within themselves they are fat, they are rich, they are sleek, they are separated from the living God by their pride, they are separated from the living God by their ostentatious behaviour, they are separated from the living God by their fatness and by their gluttony. They are separated from the living God by their greed. But blessed are the poor when we are needy before the living God. Blessed are the poor and needy who cry but to the living God, Blessed are the poor who know that the living God is their omnipresent God. Blessed are the ones who will make themselves poor that they may be rich in Christ. Rejoice even this day to be made poor that you may be rich in the Lord, thank the Lord that it is Him the living God that gives to you the abundance of true riches. Look not upon those rich in these worlds goods and envy them, but rejoice
that it is the Lord, the living God who gives the life to you. Gove the Lord thanks, give Him praise and thanks. Give Him thanks and praises.

AUGUST-11
WHEN WE WALK IN LASCIVIOUSNESS

1 Pt 4:3For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: some people are surprised that Paul lists jealousy and lust with the gross and obvious sins of drunkenness, adultery and fighting. Like Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5 – 7) Paul considers attitudes as important as actions. Just as hatred leads to murder, so jealousy leads to fighting and lust to adultery. When Christ returns He wants to find His people clean on the inside as well as on the outside Rom 13:12, 13, Eph 2:2, 2:17, 5:11, 6:13, Phil 4:8, Col 3:5 – 10, 1 Thess 5:8, Jas 3:14)
Do not envy the workers of darkness, do not fear them likewise. But rather be continually standing upon the promises of God and believing Him and He shall bring to pass that which He has declared. For there is nothing that shall stop God, except His people turn away in unbelief, then they stop the promises He has declared. But when Gods people will continue to hold onto Christ and believe that which the living God has spoken shall be.


AUGUST-12
WALK ABOUT SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR

1 Pt 5:8, Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. Lions attack sick, young or struggling animals, they choose victims who are alone or not alert. Peter warns us to watch our for Satan when we are suffering or persecuted, feeling alone, weak, helpless, and cut off from other believers, so focused on our troubles that we forget to watch for danger, we are especially vulnerable to Satan’s attacks. During times of suffering, seek other Christians for support. Keep your eyes on Christ, and resist the devil. Then says James, “He” will flee from you (James 4:7, 1 Jn 3:8, 10, Gen 3:1, Rev 20:10)

This day, it is the Lord the living God who shall cause us to know truth in our inward parts for if we will adhere to Him, He shall drive the iniquity out of us. And where there has been deceit the living God will replace with His truth. Therefore rejoice and be glad for the inward work that God does in you. For many are as the Pharisees, they put on an outward show, but inside they are full of ravening, they are full of vileness and corruption. But these ones who will come into Christ and allow Him to do the work in them He will drive those things out and He will cause them to be true through and through. He will cause them to know truth in the inward parts.

AUGUST-13
IF WE WALK IN THE LIGHT

1 Jn 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. How does Jesus blood cleanse us from every sin? In Old Testament times, believers symbolically transferred their sins to the head of an animal which died in their place, ridding them of sin and allowing them to continue living in Gods favor. This ceremony taught important truths about sin and forgiveness, but it did not actually remove sin. Real cleansing from sin came with Jesus the Lamb of God who takes away the worlds sin (Jn 1:29). Sin by its very nature, brings death that is a fact as certain as the law of gravity. Jesus did not die for His own sins, He had none instead, by a transaction we may never fully understand, and He died for the sins of the world. When we identify ourselves with Him, His death becomes ours we discover that He has already paid the penalty for our sins, His blood
has cleansed us. Just as He rose from the grave, we rise to a new life of fellowship, with Him RM 6:4, Ex 27:20, 1 Jn 1:3, 2 Tim 2:22, Rev 1:5, Gen 4:4, Heb
10:18)

Rejoice for the privilege to be made righteous, for there is many religious but they are abomination to the living God. But God has chosen us to be righteous, therefore its perfect work in you, be glad when the Lord drives out those things that are corruption and replace them with the things that are pure true and undefiled. For that is a miracle working that only God does. Rejoice in the Lord this day. Be glad and give thanks that you are privileged to serve the Lord, because He is the living God and that He lives in our midst. Be giving thanks and praises throughout the day, for the tender mercies that He bequeath us day by day, for He is the merciful God, there is none like Him. Rejoice; be glad that you are privileged to be His.

AUGUST-14
TO WALK EVEN AS HE WALKED

1 Jn 2:6He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. Living as Christ did doesn’t mean choosing l12 disciples, performing great miracles or being crucified. We cannot merely copy Christ’s life, because much of it had to do with His identity as Gods son, His special role in dying for sin, and the cultural context of the first century, we must follow His example of complete obedience to God and loving service to people.
In these days the living God shall reveal Himself, and men shall come to the end of their fantasies and wherefrom men shall come to the end of their dreams and schemes. The living God shall reveal Himself for He is the I AM. And men swill bow down before the Lord, even those who have opposed Him; even men who have despised the Lord and conspired against Him. They will bow down before Him and confess, they will confess Gods sovereignty, and they will confess Gods royalty. The living God has declared it to be so and it shall be.

AUGUST-15
LIVING BY THE HOLY SPIRITS POWER

Gal 5:16 – This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17: For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18: But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. , 25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. If your desires would lead to the qualities listed in 5:22 then you know the Holy Spirit is leading you. At the same time, you must beware of confusing your feeling with the spirit involves the desire to hear and the readiness to obey, and the sensitivity to discern between your feelings and his promptings. Rm 8:12, 13

Men are merely sheep, they wander they have shepherds. They wander they are lost they are in thickets and they are destitute of the truth. The living God shall rise up shepherds according to His own heart. The living God shall rise up His voice in this generation. The living God shall give forth His word and His word shall be heard. The living God hears the cries of the lost, the perishing and the dying. The living God hears the bleats of the sheep upon the hills. Therefore look not at the condition but look further the condition and look at Jesus Christ and know that He hears, know that He sees, know that He is the I AM. Know that He will give His voice in this generation. Rejoice for it shall be a great time, it shall be a marvelous time, for when God will have seen men exhausted within themselves, then shall He come on the scene. Then shall He extend the hand of mercy and lift up the lost, lift up the perishing and the dying. Rejoice for this is the
time that Gods voice shall be heard.

AUGUST-16
WALK IN LOVE

Eph 5:2And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour. Just as children imitate their parents, we should imitate Christ. His great love for us led Him to sacrifice Himself so that we might live. Our love for others should be of the same kind, a love that goes beyond affection to self sacrificing service (1 Pt 1:8, 22, Gal 6:2, 2 Jn 5, Lev 1:9,13, 17.2:2) This day the living God is the invincible God and His power does remain. He is the invincible God and the victory is found in Him. He is the invincible God, the unconquerable God, rejoice that you are privileged to serve Him when you remain in Him, you shall see Him triumph again and again and again. Do not look at defeat, do not look at discouragement, do not look at the conditions of men, but look at Jesus Christ. For indeed He is the invincible the victorious God who reigns supreme, and He will reign in the
midst of you.

AUGUST-17
LET US WALK IN THE TRUTH
Philp 3:16Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. The world is full of enticements we are daily confronted with both subtle cultural pressures and overt propaganda. The only way to escape these destructive influences is to ask God to help us die to them, just as Paul did. How much do the interests of this world matter to you? (Gal 2:20, 5:24, Rm 6:2, 3, 6, 1st Cor 2:2, Col 2:20)

Rejoice even this day that you are privileged to serve the Living God. Stop and ponder what the Living God said to you, that He is never conquered, He is not defeated. And rejoice that you are His. When men shall keep God’s standard they shall live. But when men shall turn aside from Him, and turn to the standard of the world, they die. For in ungodliness, and in vanity and in vexation and in vileness there is death. But in the keeping of God’s standard there is life. Therefore rejoice for God’s Holiness, rejoice for His standard. Indeed, blessed are the people who allow the Living God to be their God, and their maker. Blessed are the people who will walk by God’s standard, law and judgments. For He pours His blessedness in the midst of such ones, and He brings them forth. Rejoice even this day that the Living God does give you His standard; His righteousness and His Holiness for you are privileged to be His. If you knew the conditions of men, if
you knew the condition of their minds, their bodies, their souls, and their spirits, you would cry out in agony. For they are destitute of truth. But God has given His truth to you, it is precious. Regard it as the sane. Do not resent God’s standard, but cherish God’s standard for it shall cause you to live.

ACTIVITIES AROUND WELLSPRINGS

Gn 24:11-14 The well, people’s chief source of water, was usually found outside town along the main road. Many people had to walk a mile or more for water. They could only use what they could carry home. Rebecca would have visited the well twice daily to draw water for her family. Farmers and shepherds could come from nearby fields to draw water for their animals. It was the best place to meet new friends and chat with old ones.

Was it right for Abraham’s servant to ask God for such a specific sign? The “sign” he requested was not out of the ordinary. The hospitality of the day required women at the well to offer waters to weary travelers, but not to their animals. Eliezer was simply asking God to show him women with an attitude of true service someone who would go beyond the expected. An offer to water his camels would indicate that kind of servant attitude Eliezer did not ask for a woman with looks or wealth-he knew the importance of having the right heart. And he knew the importance of asking God to help him with task.

Rejoice that God is the everlasting and the eternal. Rejoice that the Living God is the wellspring of life that comes forth. Rejoice that He is the fountain of Living water that never runs dry. Rejoice that He dwells in the midst of us. Rejoice that we are privileged to His people, rejoice that we are privileged to praise His name and to call upon Him. Happy are the people who recognize His lordship over them. Rejoice that He alone is our God, our sovereign and our master. Be glad.

WELLSPRINGS – INTEGRAL PART OF ANCIENT SOCIETY
Gn 26:18 The area of Gerar was a desolate place on the edge of the wilderness. Water was as precious as gold. If someone dug a well, he was staking a claim to the land. Some wells had looks to keep thieves from stealing the water. To plug up someone’s well been an act of war; it was one of the most serious crimes in the land. Isaac had every right to fight back when the Philistines ruined his wells. Yet he chose not to fight. In the end, the Philistines respected him for his patience and efforts for peace.

Jn 4:5-7 Jacob’s well was part of the property originally owned by Jacob. The well itself was probably more than 200 feet deep. It was not a spring fed well, but a well into which water seeped from rain and dew, collecting at the bottom. Wells were almost always located outside the city along the main road. Twice each day, morning and evening, woman came to draw water. This woman came at noon, However probably to avoid meeting people because of her reputation. Here Jesus gave this woman an extraordinary message about fresh and pure water that would quench her Spiritual thirst forever.

This day know that the Lord is the I AM and whatever He shall will towards His people, He will perform. For He in the invincible God and there is none like Him. He is unconquerable by men; He is unconquerable by demon forces for He is the infinite. Therefore look to Christ this day and believe Him, know that He is able. For of a surety Christ the son of the Living God is and He will.

JESUS TALKS TO A WOMAN AT A WELL
Jn 4:10, 13-15 What did Jesus mean by “Living water” In the old Testament many verses speak of thirsting after God a one thirsts for water (psalm 42:1, lsa 55:1, Jr2:13, Zech 13:1,) God is called the fountain of life (Ps36:9 Jer 17:13) In saying He would bring living water that could forever quench ones thirst for God Jesus could claiming to be the Messiah. Only the Messiah could give this free gift that satisfies the desire of the soul.
Many factions of ones spiritual life parallel the functions of the physical life. As our bodies hunger and thirst, so do our souls. But our souls need spiritual food and water. The woman confused the two kinds of water; perhaps because no one had ever talked with her about her spiritual hunger and thirst before we would not think of depriving our bodies of food and water when they hunger or thirst why then should we deprive our souls? The Living word, Jesus Christ and the written word the Bible; can satisfy our hungry and thirsty souls.

Therefore rest in Jesus Christ, and trust in Him, know that He is well able, know that He is the son of the invincible God. Rejoice this day for His strength, for it remains. Rejoice this day for God’s power and glory. Rejoice this day for there is none other like Him for He remains. Rejoice that He is the I AM God. Rejoice that you are privileged to be His people.

SPRING UP OH WELL!
Num 21:17 The spiritual order here is beautiful:
1. Atonement (Vs 8,9, Jn 3:14,15)
2. Water, symbol of the Spirit bestowed (Vs 16 Jn 7:37-39)
3. Joy (Vs 17, 18, Rm 14:17)
4. Power (Vs 21 -24)

When a life has been consecrated to Christ, the Living God shall do with that life as it pleases Him. And He shall bring forth that which He desires. Be at peace in the Lord, be at rest in Him, and know that He will do with you as it pleases Him. For indeed when you have been consecrated to Christ and you keep the consecration the Living God does with you as it pleases Him. Do not fret yourself, neither fume nor worry, and be anxious for nothing. But trust in Christ, know that He is able. Know that He will do with you as it pleases Him. For this final peace and rejoicing, find giving of thanks. For He will do with you as it pleases Him.

AUGUST-22
WELLS YOU DIDN’T DIG
Deut 6:10-13. Moses warned the people not to forget God when entered the promise Land and become prosperous. Prosperity more than poverty can dull our spiritual vision, because it tends to focus our thoughts on “more and better” rather than on “here and now” rather being contact with what we have or what God has done, we wish for what might have been or desire what we could have. We then become driven by our need to have more of everything except God. The same thing can happen in the church. Once it becomes successful in terms of numbers, programs, and building, it can easily become less sensitive to us need for God. This leads it to concentrate on self – preservation rather than thankfulness and service to God.

This day God’s presence is enough to cause you to rejoice. God’s power is enough to cause you to worship. His glory is enough to cause you to praise. The Living God dwells in our midst. Stop and consider you live not isolated from the Lord, but the lives with you. The Lord dwells in our midst. Therefore be rejoicing, be giving thanks and praises to Him. For He is the omnipresent, the glorious and the one, true God.

WATER OF THE WELL OF BETHLEHEM
2 Sm 23:15-16 David poured out the water as an offering to God because he was so moved by the sacrifice it represented. When Hebrews offered sacrifices, they never consumed the blood. It represented life, and they poured it out before God. David would not drink this water which represented the lives of his soldiers. Instead, he offered it to God.

1 Chron 11:15-19 These three men risked their lives just to please David. David recognized that their devotion to him was inspired by their devotion to God, so he poured out the water as a drink offering, demonstrating that only God is worthy of such devotion. They gave the water to David and he, in turn, gave it to God. Just as these men gave of themselves to serve David, we should put aside our own interests to serve other Christians (1st Jn 3:16) when we serve others, we are also serving God.

Many say they love God, but they regard God as a dead god. God does not desire to be regarded as dead, for He is the Living God. This day does not be hasty with your feet, but wait upon the Lord for He is your God, your maker and your source wait upon the Lord for He is your strength and refuge. Wait upon the Lord for He directs your paths. When we wait upon the Lord He will reveal Him.

AUGUST-24
THROUGH THE VALLEY OF WEEPING MAKE IT A WELL
Psa 84:6, the valley of weeping is of a dry valley miraculously turned into fertile land by rains. The person who loves to spend time in God’s presence will view adverse circumstances as opportunities to experience God’s faithfulness and blessing a new (Psa 23:4)
There are many who do not see God because they do not wait upon the Lord. But they go about according to their human understanding to make things right. But things are not made right through human understanding, but it is through the mind of the Holy Spirit of the God. Therefore this day, find your assurance in waiting upon the Lord. For indeed the Living God is the strength of his people. When we will wait upon the Lord He will reveal, He will pour forth, He will expose and strengthen. Wait upon Him. Rejoice that He is your God and maker. Rejoice.

AUGUST-25
WATERS OUT OF YOUR OWN WELL
Prov 5:15-21 “Drink from your own well” is a picture of faithfulness in marriage. In desert lands, water is precious, and a well is a family’s most important possession. In Old Testament times, it was considered, a crime to steal water from someone else well, just as it was a crime to have intercourse with another man’s wife.

In contrast to much of what we read, see and hear today, this passage urges couples to look to each other for lifelong satisfaction and companionship. Many temptations entice husbands and wives to desert each other for excitement and pleasures to be found else where, when marriage becomes dull. But God designed marriage and sanctified it, and only within this covenant relationship can we, find real love and fulfillment. Don’t let God’s best for you are wasted on the illusions of greater pastures elsewhere. Instead, rejoice with your spouse as you give yourselves to God and to each other. (Ecc 9:9, Song of Songs 4:15)

So it is with men who are eager for harvest they go and pick the fruits immature and the fruit is not mature enough to bring forth to grain. And because they do that, the harvest comes to naught. But those that wait upon the living God the father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ until the fields are ripened and fully bearing the fruits, they shall reap the beautiful harvest. So it is that as you steadfastly wait upon the Lord, who shall reap beautiful harvest, after beautiful harvests, after beautiful harvest after that God shall bring it to pass. Wait upon the Lord for the harvest indeed is plenteous.

A WELL OF LIFE

Prov 10:11 when most people need advice they go to their friends first, because friends accept them and usually agree with them. But that is why they may not be able to help them with difficult problems. Our friends are so much like us that they may not have any answers we have not already heard. Instead, we should seek out older and wiser people to advice us. Wise people have experienced a lot of life and succeeded. They are not afraid to tell the truth. Who are the wise, godly people who can warn you of the pitfalls ahead? (Ps 37:20, Prov 13:14, 18:4, 20:5).

This day give your best for God. For the living God desires the best of us. For He has given the very best for us, therefore return to Him your best. There are many who offer to God a paltry sacrifice but has God given a paltry sacrifice for you? God has given the most excellent, the very best and the finest. God has given the exquisite one. Therefore do not return to God shoddiness, but return to Him your best. And God is well pleased in the same.

AUGUST-27
WELL OF LIVING WATER

Jn 4:14 eternal life – living forever with God – begins when you accept Jesus Christ as Saviour and that moment, new life begins in you (2 Cor 5:17). You will face physical death but when Christ returns again your body will resurrected to life forever (Jn 4:36, 5:24 – 40, Matt 7:14, Rev 22:20).

There are many who think they may offer God only ten percent. But, did God give a percent for humanity? No, but He gave His only, He gave His best. Therefore return the sacrifice, give all of yourself to God and the living God shall be well pleased and then is He well pleased in you. This day strive to give your very best, strive to give your all, strive to give the most excellent and the living God shall be well pleased in you.

THE WELL OF SALVATION

Isa 12:3 Jesus words “Come to me and drink” allude to theme of many Bible passages that talk about the messiahs life-giving blessings (Isa 12:23, 44:3, 4, 58:11). In promising to give the Holy Spirit to all who believed, Jesus was claiming to be the Messiah for that was something only the messiah could do.

Jesus used the term “Living water” in Jn 4:10 to indicate eternal life. Here He uses the term to refer to the Holy Spirit. The two go together having eternal life includes the Holy spirits presence. Wherever the Holy Spirit is accepted he brings eternal life. Jesus teaches more about the Holy Spirit in chapter 14 – 16. The Holy spirit empowered Jesus followers at Pentecost (Acts 2) and has since been a valuable to all who believe in Jesus as Saviour.

Thank and praise the Lord for His mercies towards you. Thank and praise the Lord this day for He gives to you the very best, likewise return the offering and do it with gladness, do it with joy and thanksgiving.

SAT THUS ON THE WELL

Jn 4:6 Jacob’s well was part of the property originally owned by Jacob. The well itself was probably more than 200 feet deep. It was not a spring fed well, but a well which water sipped from rain and dew, collecting at the bottom. Wells were almost always located outside the city along the main road. Twice each day, morning and evening, women came to draw water. This woman came at noon, however, probably to avoid meeting people because of her reputation. Here Jesus gave this woman an extra ordinary message about fresh and pure water that would quench her spiritual thirst forever. (Jn 4:5 – 7)

This day find your delight in Christ, for when you will find your delight in Christ, He is your strength and your glory. Delight not yourself in the things of this world in carnal pleasures but in Christ the Son of the living God. For He alone is the Son of the living God who shall give heavenly delights to us, He shall cause you to abide in His heavenly abode. Therefore find your delight in Him.

AGUST-30
WELL WITHOUT WATER

2 Peter 2:17 when the Lord’s Supper was celebrated in the early church, believers ate a full meal before taking part in the communion with bread and wine. The meal was called a love feast; it was designed to be a sacred time to fellowship to prepare ones heart for communion. In several, of the churches, however, this meal had turned into a time of gluttony and drunken revelry. In Corinth for example, some people hastily gobbled food while others went hungry (1 Cor 11:20 – 22). No church function should be an occasion of selfishness, gluttony, greed, disorder, or other sins which destroy unity or take ones mind from ones real purpose for assembling together.
The false teachers were “doubly, dead”. They were useless because they were not producing fruit, and they were not even believers, so they were rooted up and burned Jude 12.

Rejoice even this day that the Lord has called you as His own. Rebel not against the calling, not in any guise, but be yielding over, be abandoned to Christ For He is our God and our maker. Find your delight in Him. For indeed when, you will find your refuge in Him, the living God will not fail you. This day find your delight, find your pleasure and treasure in the Lord. For Him alone is your God, your maker and your source. Rejoice in Him even this day, that He dreads you forth, that He directs your paths, that He instructs you in the way of His righteousness. Find your delight, pleasure and treasure that is found in Christ. Find your delight in the Lord.

A FRUITFULL TREE BESIDES A WELL
Gen 49:22 Joseph was indeed a “fruitful tree” with some heroic descendants. Among them Joshua (who lead the Israelites into the Promised Land, Joshua 1:10, 11) Deborah (a judge of Israel Judg 4:4) Gideon (a judge of Israel Judg 6:11, 12) and Samuel (a great Prophet of Israel 1 Sam 3:19).

Rejoice even this day and be glad that you are privileged to be Gods people, keep the attitudes of gratitude, and keep the attitudes of giving thanks to God. For indeed when you will thank God and praise Him then will see Gods mercies revealed, for he is indeed the merciful God. Those who accuse God, those who murmur against God, those who mumble and complain, all they see is filth that spews out of their mouths. But when you will thank the Lord and praise Him, then are the doors of heaven opened to you and you are able to partake of His delights. Rejoice this day, thank the Lord, Praise that he is your God.

HAVE YOU EXPLORED THE SPRINGS FROM WHICH THE SEAS COME?

Job 38:16 God says wisdom is primary and fundamental. It is the foundation on which all life is built. Paul and John may have alluded to some of Solomon’s statements about wisdom to describe Christ’s presence at the creation of the world (Col 1:15 – 17, 2:3, Rev 3:14, Prov 8:22 – 36, Gen 7:11, 8:2)

Jer 51:36 this verse may refer to an event accomplished by Cyrus who took Babylon to surprise by diverting the rivers far upstream and walking in on the dry riverbed. More likely it is saying that Babylon will be deprived of life – giving water. Unlike Jerusalem Babylon will not be restored.
Does not the living God have the right to posses His possessions? Does not the living God have the right to posses His people? For God has purchased His people and He has the right to posses them, therefore yield yourself over to God’s right. For when you will yield to God’s right, then are you made righteous for God’s presence comes into you, and overshadows you and overtakes you.


SEPTEMBER-3
ALL MY SPRING IS IN YOU

Ps 87:7 The metaphor for God – “Fountain of Life” – Gives us a sense of fresh, cleansing water that does indeed give life to the spiritually thirsty. This same picture is used in Jeremiah 2:13, where God is called the “Foundation of life-giving water”. Jesus spoke of Himself as living water that quench “thirst” forever and give eternal life (Jn 4:14, Ps 30:11, 36:9).

Do not count it as a sad thing an a sorrowful thing to lose yourself, but count it as a privilege. For when you lose that which is carnal, you gain that which is spiritual. And when you will yield yourself over to Christ, He will come and fill you with His supreme presence, therefore rejoice this day in God’s divinity. Rejoice this day that the living God shall posses you. Rejoice this day that you are God’s people.


SEPTEMBER-4
HE SENDS THE SPRING INTO THE VALLEY

Isa 35:6 – 10 the “Holy highway” is the way from the desert of suffering to the blessings of the new life. It is only found by following God. Only the redeemed will travel God’s “Holy highway”, they will be protected from wicked travelers and harmful animals. God is preparing a way for His people to travel to His home, and He will walk with us. God never stops at pointing the way for us to go; He is always beside us as we go (Ps 104:10, 107:35, Isa 30:25, 41:18).

When we obey God, His blessedness does rest over us, and we know His goodness all of our days. But when Gods children walk in disobedience, then are they cursed. Do not walk the way of the cursed, but walk the way of the obedient know God’s goodness and mercy. For it gives God pleasure to pour out His mercy upon His people. Rejoice and give thanks this day that you are privileged to be God’s child and to know His blessedness. For the earth is full of the cursed, but you need not to be cursed, but you may know God’s blessing over you. Seek to obey the living God in all that God asks of you, that you may be a person blessed, that you may be a person who will live long upon the earth.


SEPTEMBER-5
HE TURNS WATER-SPRINGS DRY GROUND

Ps 107:33 those who worshipped Baal believed he was the god who brought the rains and beautiful harvests. When Elijah walked into the presence of the Baal-worshiping king and told him there would be no rain for several years, he was shocked. Ahab had built a strong military defense, but it would be no help against drought. He had many Baal priests, but they could not bring rain. Elijah briefly confronted the men who led his people into evil and he told of a power far greater than any earthen god – the Lord God of Israel. When rebellion and heresy were at an all-time high in Israel, God responded not only with words but with actions (1 Kings 17:1, 7).

Fools they are who go about to establish there own way. For they imagine they know better within themselves than God knows. But that is why they are fools; there is no better way, than the way that the living God give. Therefore rejoice to be in Gods way, be a people of submitted heart, be a people of a submitted will, for when you will stay in Gods way, you stay in life.

SEPTEMBER-6
HE TURNS DRY GROUND INTO WATER-SPRING

Ps 107:35 the Lord had told Moses to speak to the rock, Moses struck, not ones but twice. For this he was forbidden to enter the Promised Land. Was God’s punishment of Moses too harsh? After all, the people had nagged him, slandered him and rebelled against both him and God. Now they were at it again (Num 20:5) But Moses was the leader and model for the entire nation. Because of this great responsibility to the people, he could not be let off lightly. But striking the rock, Moses disobeyed God’s direct command and dishonored God in the presence of his people. (Num 20 11, 12, 21:6, Deut 1:19 – 21, 11 – 6, 32:13, Ps 78:15, Isa 35:6, 7 ,41:18, Ps 114:8, Exod 17:5, 6, Deut 8:15, Isa 30:25).

Fools they are who go about to establish there own way. They are many that will see dead along the way, and it is because they are set to establish their own way. But they were stricken, they were mired down, they were overtaken and overwhelmed. Now they are dead along the way. You need not die but you may continue in Christ for He is the Son of the living God. Every day purpose yourself for His way. For His way is the way of life. Rejoice even this day, the Lord gives His way to you, be glad and give thanks. Thank the Lord again and again, that Him alone is you Lord, your maker and your source thank Him.

SEPTEMBER-7
A TROUBLED FOUNTAIN AND A CORRUPT SPRING

Prov 25.26 “Compromise” here means setting aside your standards of muddy up your life. This is ugly to those who are counting on your high moral standard. Ezek 34:18

When any men will look upon his own self and begin to feel pitty and begin to whine, begin to mourn, he takes himself out of the way. But when any men will look to Christ and give thanks and give praise. And have no regard for making provision for his own flesh but looking to Christ and thanking God, but such a man is in the way and he advances likewise in the same. For when any man desires to keep his life, he loses the life in Christ. But when any man will give his life, he gains the life in Christ. Continually give your life that you may gain the life, He is the way, and He is the living God.


SEPTEMBER-8
IT SHALL BE LIKE A SPRING OF WATER
Isa 58:11 Song of Solomon 4:15, Jn 4:10, 14. Thank God that He gives His mind; thank God that He gives you His thoughts, thank God that He leads forth you in truth and light, for there are many who are confused and deluded. There are many who are steeped in darkness, they know not the way, but he gives his mind to you and leads you in the way of light. For this, rejoice for there are many whose minds are darkened, there are full of iniquity and vileness. They know not the way of God’s life therefore the stumble on, but they only increase in the darkness in which they are trapped. Rejoice and be glad that God has given you the light. For when you are desirous of the truth, to be led forth in the same, do not turn aside to lies. For those who turn aside to lies they are consumed of the same. But those who will continue in the light, they will only go from glory and the light shall increase upon them. This night rejoice that you are privileged to walk in
the light that the Lord gives you. Rejoice that you are privileged to receive the truth. And cherish the same. For there are many in this world who would desire the truth but they know it not. You are privileged to walk in the light. Thank God this night that you are privileged, do not abuse it nor take it for granted but give God thanks and praise for indeed God is merciful, give Him thanks and praise (Jn 7:38, 39, 8:24, Gen 3:20, Heb 11:39).

WHAT MARKS YOU AS A FOLLOWER OF GOD
exodus 13:3 this memorial week marked the Hebrews as a unique people as though they were branded with Gods trademark. What do you do that marks you as a a follower of God?The way you raise your children demonstrates love for others,show concern for the poor and live in devotion to God.What you do in these areas will leave visible work for all to see.While national groups are marked by customs and traditions,Christians are marked by loving one another (Jn 13:34-35)
There is a way which seems right to men but the way is destruction.therefore do not follow your own way but follow Gods way. For God's way is life and when men are headstrong and determined to have their own way know that they shall be destroyed by the same. For if any men will be Christs disciples,he must give up his way and follow him. Therefore when God gives his way to you come willingly.

HOW WE FALL SHORT OF FOLLOWING GOD

Num 16:13-14 one of the easiest ways to fall short of following God is to look at our present problems and inflate their unpleasantness and Abiram did just that when they begun to long for better food and more pleasant surrounding Egypt the place they had longed to live was now locking, better not because of slavery and task masters of course,but because of its mouth watering food!these two men and their followers had completely lost their perspective. they no longer new where they were going and what awaited them if they got there. when we take our eyes off God and begin to look at our and problems we begin to lose our perspective as well. Overrating problems can hinder our relationship with God .Don't let difficulties make you lose sight of Gods purpose for your life. Do not forget god nor despise him but go willingly for the way that seems right to men is the way of death. But the way of God is life. Rejoice that the the living God has
given you the way of life rejoice that you are privileged to live. Consider the multitudes who go headlong to their own destruction. Follow not the way which seems right to men but follow Good's way for His way is rejoice and be glad that the Lord is the living God.

IF YOU BELIEVE IN GOD YOU MUST FOLLOW HIS WAYS.
Deut:27:9-10 Moses said that because the Israelites were now God's people they needed to start obeying God's commandment we decide to believe in God we must also decide to follow his ways. What we do shows what we really believe examine yourself and ask if people are able to discern that you are a member of God's family
When any one shall withhold their lives they shall lose the life that God had for them but if anyone shall give over their lives they shall gain the life and the life is infinite,it is endless,it is God's life What exchange would a man give that would be greater?there is none Give God deeds and you shall gain life. for those who live to themselves only have death as their rewards. But those who live to Christ they have his life and his life always coming forth. Rejoice and be glad for the area where you have given Christ your life for his life remains and his life does come forth and his life does multiply.

DECIDING DAILY TO FOLLOW GOD
Deut 30:19-20 Moses reminded Israel of all that God had done for them .He challenged them to choose to obey God and therefore continue to experience his blessings God does not force his will on anyone. He lets us decide whether to follow him or reject Him .This decision however is a life or death matter. God wants us to realize this for He would like us all to choose life. Daily with each new circumstance of life,we must decide again.(Jn11:25)
This is not the time for retreat but this is the time for advance. For God has called us to roll in the lank of our enemies he has called us to cause them to be mown down for it is his strength that is put upon us. Do not look at yourself and say that you cannot but look at Jesus and know you can for it is him the son of the living God who gives strength.,.this is not the time for stagnation but this is the time to go forward in Christ ,TO go forward is his light and his glory. This day rejoice for the power rejoice for the glory ,rejoice for the anointing that is found in Christ and and thank him that he is the son of the living God .For indeed he shall deliver victories into your hands as you shall advance and advance and advance in him.
Thank God again that He is your God and your maker and your source.

FOLLOW GOD EVEN WHEN YOU DONT SEE INSTANT RESULTS

Be faithful in following God even if you don't see instant results,because you might be beginning an important job which others will finish.
The fool shall seek satisfaction within himself satisfaction within himself but he shall not find it. for the fool is full of his own ways,But a man may be made and filled with Christ. for Christ is the way of life. rejoice for you need not perish as fools but you may be made wise.

AUGUST-24
WHY PETER AND ANDREW LEFT TO FOLLOW JESUS

Mat 4:18-20 Jesus told Peter and Andrew to leave their fishing business and “fish for people's souls”. He meant that He could show them how to help others find God.Jesus was calling them from their productive trades to be productive spiritually. We all need to fish for souls.If we follow Christ's example and teachings and and put them into practice, we will be able to draw those around us to Christ like a fisherman who pulls fish into his boat with nets.

These men already knew Jesus. He had talked to Peter and Andrew previously (Jn 1:35-42) and had been preaching in the area. When Jesus called them, they knew what kind of man He was and were willing to follow Him. They were not in a hypnotic trance when they followed, but instead were thoroughly convictedthat following Him would change their lives forever. this was actually a call for them to service.

Jesus Christ is the way of life and He will give Himself to those who cry out and empty themselves, that they may be full of Him, that they may be full of the life and the wisdom of who He is. Rejopice this night that the privilege has been given to you, for there are many fools full of themselves who perish in their sins. But Christ has redeemed you and given you the opportunity to gain the wisdom and the life of who He is. For this rejoice and be exceedingly glad.

AUGUST-25

THE SACRIFICE OF FOLLOWING JESUS
Mt8:19-20 Following Jesus is not always an easy or comfortable road. Often it means great cost and sacrifice worth no earthly rewards or security. Jesus didn't have a place to call home. You may find that following Jesus Christ costs you popularity, friendships, leisure time, or treasured habits. But while the costs of following Christ may be high, the value of been Christ's disciple is an investment which lasts for eternity and yields incredible rewards (Mt 8:21,22, 10:36 Jn 6:68,69).

This night when you lay yourself before Christ that is when you will commit yourself to God's will, shall God not slay your will within you, that you will be willing to go God's way, despite any hindrance, despite any circumstance, despite any situation? That is what God desires, an obedient and willing people. Rejoice this night that you are given the privelege to sow to life. There are multitudes sowing to death and God gives you the privelege to live, yeah to sow to His life eternal. For this rejoice and give tha nks. This night, thank God, that He is your God, Maker and Source.
AUGUST-26
WHAT IT TAKES TO FOLLOW JESUS

Mt 16:24 When Jesus used this picture of His followers taking up their cross to follow Him , the disciples knew what He meant. Crucifixion was a common Roman method of execution and condemned criminals had to carry their crosses through the streets to the execution site. Following Jesus , therefore meant a true commitment, the risk of death, and no turning back.(Mk 8:34-38,lk9:23-26,2nd Cor4:10-11)
Mk3:14 Jesus was surrounded by followers from whom he chose twelve to his regular companions. He did not chose these twelve because of their faith, because their faith faltered. He didn't choose them because of their talent and ability, because no one stood out with unusual ability. The disciples represented a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences, but apparently they had no more leadership potential than those who were not chosen. the one characteristic they all shared was their willingness to obey and follow Jesus. after Jesus ascension,they were filled with the holy ghost and carried out special roles in the growth of the early church. We should not disqualify ourselves from service to Christ because we do not have the right credentials .Being a good disciple is simply a matter of following Jesus with a willing heart.
Luke 5:11,this is the disciples second call .After the first call(Matt4:18-22,Mark 1:16-22)Peter and Andrew,James and John went back fishing,they continued to watch Jesus however as he established his
authority in the synagogue healed the sick and cast demons. Now he also established his authority in their lives. He met them on their level and helped them in their work,from this time on they left their nets and stayed with Jesus. For us to follow Jesus is more than acknowledging him as savior. It means leaving our past behind and devoting our future to him.
Luke9:62What does Jesus want from us Total dedication,not self hearted commitment,we cant choose and pick among Jesus ideas and follow him selectively we have to accept the cross,along with the crown,judgment as well as mercy. We must count the cost and be willing to abandon everything else that has given us security,with our focus on Jesus,We should allow nothing to distract us from the manner of living he calls good and true.
When any men or any woman shall quit the way and say they cannot finish the course and say this and that is the reason why know that the are liars. For God has given to men and women through his word and through his spirit life and through his sacrifice perfect,every provision that they have justication they suppose a lie. For there is no excuse not to complete the cost .There is no excuse to turn aside. Those who turn aside they are without excuse. And they shall be excused but they shall be excused in the day of judgment.

DO YOU FOLLOW JESUS FOR THE RIGHT REASON?
Mk 3:7-8 While Jesus was drawing fire from the religious leaders ,he was gaining popularity among the people. some were curious ,some sought healing ,Some wanted evidence to use against him and others wanted to know if he truly was Messiah. Most of them only dimly guessed the real scope of what was happening among them. Today crowds still Jesus ,an they come for the same variety of reasons. What is your primary reason for following Jesus.
Jn1:38 When the two disciples began to follow Jesus he asked them What do you want following Christ is not enough,we must follow him for the right reason. To follow Christ for our own purpose is not enough,we must follow Christ for our own purpose is asking Christ to follow us-to align with us to build cause,not His,We must examine our motives for following him-are they for his glory or ours?
Jn 6:26 Jesus criticized the people who followed him only for the physical and temporal benefits,not because they were spiritually hungry .WE should follow Christ because we need the truth many people use
religion to gain prestige, comfort or follow Jesus simply because they know his way is the way to live.
This day rejoice that it is the living God who does equip you to finish your course .
Rejoice and be glad that God gives you every thing you need. And there is nothing to hard for God. for God put before you all you need and he gives you. such a you here need of. And there is nothing too hard for God
,for God puts before you what you need and he gives it to you and when you think that there is something too hard for you .This day keep your eyes upon Christ for he shall lead you. He shall guide you he shall strengthen you. Rejoice and be glad this day that God puts before you the course ,but it also puts before you the way to complete the course. Rejoice,be glad,give thanks for Gods loving kindness to you. For Gods mercies are new to you every morning.
AUGUST-28
SUBMISSION NEEDED TO FOLLOW JESUS
Mk8:34 Marks original death on a cross was a form execution used by Rome for dangerous criminals
A prisoner carried his own cross to his place of execution signifying submission to Romes power.
Jesus used carrying a cross to illustrate the ultimate submission required to follow him. He is not against pleasure nor is He saying we should seek pain needlessly he is talking about the heroic efforts needed to follow him moment by moment to do this will even when the even the work is difficult and the future looks blease.(Mt16:24-28,Lk9:23-27,14:27,Phil3:7-10)Can you not rejoice?can you not give thanks that it is the living God who gives life to you. Can you not rejoice,can you not give thanks that its God who leads you forth by a plain path?This day do not find excuses for disobedience but find a reason to obey for in obedience you shall find Gods life. You shall Find his strength,Those who disobey are wicked but those who obey will be made strong. Therefore seek to obey God in all that he would ask you and it is the lord living God who shall give you with his strength.
Do not look at your own strength and say you cannot ,rather look at Christ and say you can for then you shall look at Christ and he shall equip you with all that you are in need of. For they are able to bear and and never put upon your burdens that you cannot fulfill. Therefore look to Christ as your strength and you shall accomplish what is put before you.

AUGUST-29
FOLLOWING JESUS MOMENT BY MOMENT
Mk 8:34 people are wiling to pay a high price for something they value. It is not any surprise that Jesus should demand this much commitment from those who would follow him?There are at least three conditions that must be met by those who want to follow Jesus. They must be willing to deny self their lives,anything else is superficial lip service.(Luke 9:23-27)
in the obedience is the life ,therefore seek to obey God who gives the life to you .Rejoice this day for the abundance of mercy that He gives,rejoice for the goodness that is God 's for without Gods goodness,Mercy and loving kindness over you,you would be desolated but because God is merciful,He pours out upon rejoice this day be glad serve the lord with gladness,with obedience and with thanks giving.

Mt 8:35.To throw away our lives for the sake of the GOOD NEWS doesn't mean our lives are useless. Rather it means that nothing not even life itself can compare to what we can gain with Christ. Jesus wants us to choose to follow him rather than to led a life of sin and self satisfaction. He wants us to stop to control our own lives and let him rather than to lead a life of sin and self satisfaction. He wants us to stop to control our own lives and to let him be in charge .This makes good sense because as the creator ,only he knows what life is all about. He asks for submission not self hatred,he asks us to throw away self centeredness that says we know better than God how to run our lives(Luke 17:33,Jn12:24-26,Rm6:1-7,Mk10:29 ,Gen:12:1-3,Rev14:6)
Shall you not rejoice and give thanks to God that he is your God and see him triumph. Those who watch for the living God shall see him. Those who desire the living God He shall come to them Those who long for the living God he will be in their midst. of such a people. shall you not be those ones for it Gives the living God pleasure to dwell in the midst of an obedient people. Shall you not seek to obey the living God He would make this his habitation?Shall you not seek to please God in all that you do ?For when you are well pleasing to the living God ,so do the living God continue to pour out his blessings over you .This day rejoice be glad and thank God that he is your maker and your source.

PRECONDITION FOR FOLLOWING JESUS
Luke 5:11 there are two pre-conditions for following God .WE must recognize our sinful human nature,we cant save ourselves. Only God can save us and we must recognize the facility of human effort these men had finished all night without success.(Mt4:22,19:27,Mk8:34-35,10:28-31,52,Luke9:23,59-62,Jn12:26,14:15 Luke 9:23-27)keep close to me is literally translated “follow me”The Christian follow Christ by imitating his life and obeying his commands
to carry our cross means to deny our desire and go our own way. living this way is costly now but worth well the pain and effort in the long run.
If this life is most important to you you will do everything you can to protect it. you may not want to do anything that may endanger your safety,your heath or your comfort. By By contrast if following Jesus is most important,you may find yourself in some very unsafe,unhealthy and uncomfortable places. You will risk death but you will not fear it because you know Jesus will raise you to eternal life. The person who is concerned only with this life has no such assurance . His earthly life may be no longer but will most likely be marred by feelings of boredom and worthlessness.
This day let gladness and the giving of thanks well up within you. For as sure as you are filled with gods spirit ,so do gladness and joy and thanksgiving dwell within you. Let well up and give God thanks and give him praise.

FOLLOWING JESUS MAY SOME TO HATE YOU.
Jn 7:7,Because the world hated Jesus,we who follow him can expect that many people will hate us as well.,ask if you are following him as you should.,We can be grateful if life goes well, but not at the cost of following Jesus half heartedly or not at all (jn 8;23,
Jn 9:28-34,The mens new faith was severely tested by some of the authorities, he was cursed and evicted from the temple. You also may accept persecutions when you follow Jesus,you may lose friends ,you may even lose your life. But no one can ever take away the eternal life you have been given by Jesus.
Thank God that he gives you his mind,thoughts and leads in truth and in light. For there are many who are confused and deluded. There are many who are steeped in darkness,they know not the way,but the living God gives his mind to you and leads you in the way of light. For this rejoice for there are many whose minds are darkened in that are full of inequity and vileness. They know not the way of God's life ,therefore they stumble not the way of God's life. therefore they stubble on , but they only increase in the darkness in which they are strapped. Rejoice again and again and be glad that God has given you the light,
that he has given you his mind that he leads you by a plain path for when you are desirous of the truth to be led in the same do not turn aside to lies. For those who turn around to lie shall consumed of the same but those who will continue in the light they will only go from glory to glory and the light shall increase upon them. This night rejoice that you are privileged to walk in the light that God gives you. Yeah,rejoice that you are privileged to receive the truth and cherish the same. For there are many in this world who will desire the truth but they know it. You are privileged to walk in the light ,thank God this night that you are privileged
for in deed what God has given to you is a great privilege ,do not abuse it or take it for granted but give God thanks and praise. For indeed he is the merciful,give him thanks and praise.

HOW PETER LEARNT TO FOLLOW JESUS;
MK1:17jesus first words to Simon Peter were,”come follow me”His rest words to him were, you follow me Jn21:22,every step of the way between those two challenges ,Peter never failed to follow even if he often stumbled.
When Jesus entered Peters life,this plain fisherman became a new with new goals and new priorities. He did not become a perfect person however and he never stopped being Simon Peter. We might wonder what Jesus saw in Simon Peter that made him his potential disciple with a new name Peter “the rock”impulsive peter didn't like act like a rock much of the time. But when Jesus chose his followers he wasn't looking for models,he wasn't looking for men,he chose people who could be changed by his love. then he sent them to communicate the act of his acceptance was available to anyone even to those who often fail
y wonder what Jesus sees in us when he calls us to follow him but we know that Jesus accepted peter and in spite of his failure peter went on to do great things for god. are you willing to keep following Jesus even when you fail?mat16:18
Has God not the right to do with you as it pleases him?Has God not the right to form and shape his people and pour into them that which he desires? has God not the right to lead you to guide you to and direct you cause you r own struggle when you think that you have the right to your life,for you have no right for you have given yourself over to christ.

FOLLOW THOUGH ITS VITAL IN GOD'S WORK
Josh22:2-4 Before the conquest had began,these tribes were given land they could settle down they had the land on the east side of Jordan,but before they could settle down they had first promised to help other tribes to conquer the land on the west side(num 32:18-22)They had patiently and diligently carried out their promised duties. Joshua now commended them for doing just that. At last they are permitted to return to their families and build their cities. Follow though is vital in God's work. Be ware of the temptations to quite early and leave God's work undone
Neh7:3-4The wall was complete but the work was not finished .Nehemiah assigned each family the task of protecting the section of wall next to their home. It is tempting to relax our guard and rest on past accomplishments,after we have completed a large task. But we should continue to serve and take care of all that God has entrusted us. Following through after a project is completed is as vital as doing the project itself.
God shall bring this purpose ,this substance and goals in your life,but you cause your own struggle when of your own transition and lust of the flash and the pride of life think that you should have things certain way. But do not look to have things a certain way. But look for things to be Gods way. For only in Gods way is only the life to be found. it is not in the deceitful,trickery of the enemy that leads you aside it is in Gods way that the life is to be found. count yourself of dead reckon yourself of nothing, and reckon God's way as the way of life and rejoice for the same and in all things give thanks to god and give god praise that he is your master,your keeper and your lord.
SEPTEMBER-5
FOLLOW UP IS A SIGN OF GOOD LEADERSHIP:
Ex39:43 Moses inspected the finished work saw that it was done the way God wanted,and then blessed the people. A good leader follows up on assigned tasks and gives reward for good work. IN whatever responsible position you find yourself follow up to make sure tasks are completed as intended and show your appreciation to the people who have helped.
look not to the left or right ,but look to Jesus Christ. Look to him in faith,look to him in hope,look to him in confidence and know that he is well able. for when you will keep your vision single to Jesus Christ Son of the Living God, he will lead you as it pleases him. keep your vision single,keep your eyes keep your eyes stayed upon Jesus Christ ,keep your purposes as his and he will lead you forward. thank the living God who does lead you forward. God has not called you to turn aside,but he has called you to go forward in him. Therefore greatly rejoice and be glad that God has called you to go forward for him.
SEPTEMBER-6
FOLLOW UP WITH NEW BELIEVERS
Acts 11:26barnabas and Paul stayed at Antioch for a full year teaching the believers. They could here left for new cities,but they saw the importance. Have you helped someone in God?Spend time teaching and encouraging that person .are you a new believer .remember you are just beginning your Christian life. Your faith need to grow through consistence bible study and learning
Gal4:19 Paul led many to Christ and helped them mature spiritually,perhaps one reason for his success as a spiritual father was the deep concern he left for his spiritual children,he compared his pain over their faithfulness as of child birth. WE should have the same care intense for those to whom we are spiritual parents. When you lead people to Christ remember to stay by to help them grow.
Indeed you may live out your days in peace knowing Gods rest for you shall know that it is the living God who purposes your day. Thank God for this day that it is in Gods purpose that he has purposed for you this day. Gods people are not meant to be full of themselves but they are meant to be full of Christ Therefore when God empties his people it is that they may be filled with the substance of his life rejoice for the filling process that God takes his people through for for God empties his people that they may be full of him,rejoice.

Note: Through ignorance or carelessness speakers and writers

laying on the shelf, etc. It is only necessary to
remember, in all such cases, that laid is the preterit
of lay, and not of lie.

JESUS LAYS DOWN HIS LIFE:
John10:15As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. ,17Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. ,18No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father..Jesus is talking about his death and resurrection which was part of God's plan for the salvation of th world were under God's full control.
John13:17-If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
18: I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.Peter proudly told Jesus that he was ready to die for him But Jesus corrected him He knew Peter would deny him that very night to protect himself(18:25-And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
26: One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27: Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew. ) in our enthusiasm, it is easy to make promises but God knows the extent of our commitment .Paul tells us to be honest in our estimates(Rom 2:31) instead of bragging show your commitment step by step as you grow in your knowledge of God's word and in your faith.
Thank God for the privileged to lay down your life If the living God would ask a sacrifice of you do it willingly and with gladness for his life shall come forth. Thank God that he is the Life
In abandonment to Christ shall you find your peace. For when you fret against God you shall be disturbed but when you are abandoned fully to God's will and his sovereignty over you ,you shall know God's peace and his peace is a river .Gods peace does ever flow Gods peace does ever come forth .therefore adhere to God's peace to does ever come forth .Therefore adhere to God's peace for he gives you safety in turning yourself over.

THE LORD HAS LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL
Isa:53:6-All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7: He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. Isaiah speaks of Israel straying from God and likens the to wondering sheep .YET GOD WI LL Send them messiah to bring them back into the fold. We have the high sight to see and know the identity of the promised messiah,who has come and died for our sins. But if we can see all that a Jesus did still reject him, We have a much greater sin than that of the ancient Israelites,who could not see what we have seen. Have you given your life to Jesus Christ the “Good Shepherd”(Jn 10:1-16) or are you still like a wondering sheep?
The disobedient shall not enter in the land. For the way of God is narrow and his people shall walk in obedience they shall receive. For God has great abundance for his people. But when God's people shall walk in disobedience,they shall not enter into the place that place God has prepared. IN this generation there are countless ones who claim they are God's children,but they are the children of disobedience,and they do not enter into the covenant place that God has prepared.


SEPTEMBER-9
MUSTH NO LONGER LIVE FOR YOURSELF
2COR5:15-And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
16: Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
17: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Christians are brand new people on the inside .They are not the same reeducated we are new creation living in vital union with Christ (Colosians 2:6-As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. )we are not merely turning over a new leaf under new master.
There is only one way that leads to life,and thats Gods way and those who try another way .And those who try another way ,they shall they shall only find their own pathways to death. Gods way is everlasting,and those will walk there in shall receive everything that God has prepared eat the fruit of their own doings and the fruits shall be bitter,it shall be wicked and vile. Rejoice this day for the privileged to be welcome to the rod upon your back for though you are chastised, if you come forth obedience the rewards are mighty the rewards are wondrous the rewards are abundant. Do not despise God's chesting hand upon you but rather rejoice in the same. For it is obedience children who shall receive what the bring has prepared. Despise not the way of obedience but welcome it and desire it and and seek to conform yourself to it for indeed the way of obedient is the way of life.


SEPTMBER-10
JESUS SUFFERED DEATH FOR US
Heb 2:9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. God has put Jesus I charge of everything and Jesus reigning on earth but we do not see Jesus reigning on earth but we can picture him in his heavenly Glories When confused by tomorrow and anxious about the future ,strive to keep a clear view of Jesus Christ He is what he has done and what he is doing for us right now this will give stability to your decisions day by day
When anyone shall seek to cover seek to cover themselves in God's spirit and not let his spirit differentiate between the precious and the vile,what they do is seal themselves in lies for when did the lies only increase But if anyone shall yield themselves over Gods spirit God's sword shall cut asunder and it shall divide and it shall bring forth the precious and destroy the vile. This day do not destroy God's sword but accept God's sword. Let it come into you let it differentiate and separate. For indeed it shall cause you to walk in truth and it shall cause you to walk in light. You don't need to be covered in lies and pretentious but you may go forward in God 's truth knowing that it is the living God who shall give you what you have need of that it is the living God who shall give his life to you.


SEPTEMBER-11
WE OUGHT TO LAY DOWN OUR LIVES FOR OUR CHRISTIAN BROTHERS
1jn 3:16Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. real Love is an action not a feeling. It provides selfless sacrificial giving the greatest act of love anyone can do is to give himself or herself for others. how can we lay down our lives?sometimes it is easier to say well done for others than to truly live for them which involves putting others desire first. Jesus taught this same principal of love in jn15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ,
Rejoice for God's life spirit and glory for when you will embrace those things you shall be his. But when you hide from them you only are swallowed up in lies. Hide not from the truth but love the truth for it shall be your strength and your re guard
Rejoice even this day that God puts his truth in you. There are many who have turned aside to un cleanliness. Uncleanliness is sin in God's sight. There are many who think they are acceptable when they are unclean but the lord is the God of Purity when those who turn to un cleanliness cover up their uncleanliness with more filthiness they are accomination to God .God has not called them to walk in uncleanliness but to walk in him.


SEPTEMBER-12
DO NOT BE ENVIOUS OF THE WICKED ENVIOUS OF THE PROSPERITY OF THE WICKED
Ps 73:3For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Two strong themes with their way through psalms 73:1-3
1)the wicked prosper leaving the faithful people wondering why they bother to be good
2)The wealth of the wicked looks so inviting that faithful people may wish they trade places. But those two themes come to unexpected ends for that great separating thus life and the next and the rewards for the good suddenly falls on external value what seems like wealth is now waste ,and what seemed worthlessness now last forever. Don't be tempted as Asaph was to wish you could trade places with evil people to get their wealth. One day they will wish they could trade places with you and have external wealth.
Do not be envious of the wicked for that which the living God does give to you is full of his life. But the treasures of the wicked are full of death,therefore envy not sinners nor their evil doings wicked is death but the way of Gods lead you is life. Did whatsoever the living God would provide you or has his life the same. Therefore rejoice rejoice is the provision that God gives you and be thankful. For God's provision is life God's provision is light.


SEPTEMBER-13
NEVER ENVY THE WICKED
Psalms37:1-7Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2: For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3: Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5: Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6: And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7: Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. We should never envy the wicked even though some may be extremely popular or excessively rich .No matter how much they have it will fade and vanish like grass that withers and dies. These who follow God live in a different manner than the wicked and in the end have far greater treasures in heaven what the un believers gets lasts a lifetime if he is lucky. What you get from following God last forever.
This day the living god has called us to be a community of peace for though we may war in the spirit against the vile forces that seek to devour men's souls god called us to be a community of peace. continue as steadfast people continue in war and continue to partake of his peace he gives to you. Rejoice that you are blessed to receive ,rejoice that you are blessed to receive peace for men strive their entire lives to attain peace and they cannot. But God gives his peace to you Be glad and Give thanks to God that he is your maker Be glad that the lord is the source of your peace your rest and refuge. Thank him even this night that he is your maker Rejoice for the way that God has called you and purpose your life. Thank God.


SEPTEMBER-14
WAIT PATIENTLY FOR THE LORD
PSALMS 40:1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. The 40th Psalms speaks of Messiah,Jehovah,Servant obedient unto death. The psalms begins with joy of Christ in resurrection. He has been in the horrible pit of grave but has brought up. versus 3-5 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
4: Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5: Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: - are his resurrection testimony,his “new song” versus 6-7 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
7: Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, -are retrospective.
Wait for God to help us its not easy but David received your benefits from waiting on god often blessings cannot be received unless we go through the trial of waiting.
When you shall bow to pride,you bow to lie,and lies shall cover you but when you shall bow down to the living God his truth shall cover you. for he will keep you. Many times through out the day the enemy puts the choice before you. will you bow to lies,will you bow to pride or will you bow to God/For when you will bow to the living God ,you will be protected .But when you bow down to pride,you are covered by lies en shall swarm your mind and they shall overwhelm you but if you bow in the living God,he will give you his truth and with his truth shall come his peace.


SEPTEMBER-15
WAIT ONLY UPON GOD
psalms 62:5My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. prayer can release our tension in times of emotional stress. trusting god to be our rock, rescuer,defense and fortress(verse2)changes our entire outlook on life. no longer are we held captive by hurtful treatment from friends or relatives,but are released to follow an unchanging God or rock and fortress(psms62:3-6)rejoice that you are privileged to receive the truth and the light. Consider the multitudes of men upon the earth that bow to pride all of their days and they are covered by lies ,they are covered in anger they are covered in wrath But if you bow down to the truth that is you bow down to the living God the Father of our Lord you are covered in the protective shield of who he is,rejoice this day for the privilege to be covered,for the privilege to be protected and be shielded. Bow to the living God and receive His truth. receive his light,receive his glory. Thank
God this day that that He is alone your God ,your sovereign and
your master. Turn not aside to other gods ,even the god of your own self. but turn to the living God and he will keep you.


SEPTEMBER-16
WHY ARE THE WICKED SO PROSPHEROUS?
Jer12:1 Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously? Many have asked why do the wicked prosper?(Job21:4-21) (Habbakuk1:12-17)Jeremiah knows that God's ultimate justice will come ,but he is impatient because he wants justice to come quickly,God does no give a doctrinal answer ,instead he gives a challenge .it is natural for us to demand fair advantage of others ,but when we call for justice we must realize that we ourselves would be in big trouble if God gave each of us what we truly deserve.
If you shall look to Christ in every circumstance and every situation that God is sufficient did God is sufficient ?Did God desire that his people would know him? in such a way that his sufficient is for them.
for the living God has the answer to all your prayers. He has answers to all your questions he has the direct way in which you must go. The Lord is the living God who heals you and restores you and gives you the strength to go on. Therefore look not to the arm of fresh but look to the lord for he is your God. Indeed the living God desire to be your all in all.

SEPEMBER-17
WAIT ON THE LORD
psalms27:14Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. David knew from experience what is meant to wait for the lord. He had been anointed king at age 16 but didn't become king until he was age 30. During the interim he was chased through the wilderness by jealous King Saul. Later after becoming the king he was chased by his rebellious son
Waiting on GOD is not easy often it seems that he insist answering our prayers or doesn't understand the agony of our situation situation implies that God is not in control or is not fair. But God is worth waiting for.Isaih40:27-31 Calls us to wait because God use waiting to refresh,renew and teach us. Make good use of your waiting times be trying to teach you on them.
God desires that you would know that all the springs of living waters are in him and that he shall come forth to those who wait in him shall not thirst,for he shall give them living water and those who come to him hungry ,they shall not anger for he shall give them the living bread. This day know of a surelity situation which present itself as a problem. The lord is your all in all. God desires that you would know that He is that you rejoice this day

GOD IS JUST
Ezra9:15O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this. Ezra asked “what hope can we have if you (God)give us justice? Often we cry out for justice when we feel abused and unfairly treated. IN those moments we forget the reality of our sins and the righteous judgment we deserve. How fortunate we are that God gives us mercy and grace rather than not justice .The next time you ask God for fair and just treatment ,pause to think what would happen if God gave you what really deserve. you would trust the Lord and believe him and know the way that leads you in his way does not lead us to kill us but he leads us to bring us into life. For it Gives God pleasures when his people would gain his life. Do not doubt God even your present circumstances but believe Him and know
that he is your God and he is able to take you through. God takes us on the spirit journey into his life and gives us what we have need of. God does not want us to bogged down in religiosity but he wants us brought fourth in the fullness of his spirit. Therefore God takes us for his leading over you for he leads us
quick to accuse and do not be as those who will backbite and devour but be those who walk uprightly .And God has called us to encourage one another for the world will the world will not love you. Therefore let us love one another one another for Christ has loved us .Love another as Christ has loved has loved us. Love another as Christ loved for the world will not love you but will despise you and will seek to separate you from God. Do not be separated from Christ for He is our Life and when we are in him we live.

GOD BRINGS GOODNESS AND MERCY OUT OF BAD CIRCUMSTANCES
Gen 16:13And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me? WE have watched three people make serious mistakes
1)Sarai who took matters intro her own hands and gave her servant girl to Abraham.
2)Abram who went along with the plan but when things begun to go wrong refused to be involved in solving the problem .
3)Hagar who run away from the problem .In spite of this messy situation,God demonstrates how he is not limited by the complications in our lives he can bring good out of any situation. Sarai and Abram still received the son they so desperately wanted and God solved Hagar's problem despite
Abram refusal to get involved. No problem in your life is too complicated for God if you are willing to allow him to help you.
Gen 48:11: And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed. When Joseph became a slave (Gen 37:30And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go? )Jacob thought he had died and wept in despair. But eventually God's plan allowed to Jacob to regain not only his Son but his grandchildren as well. Circumstances are never bad that they are beyond God's help. Jacob regained his son in like manner Jacob regained her brother Lazarus (Job 42:10-44)WE need not despair because we belong to a loving God. We never know what good he will bring out of of a seemingly hopeless situation .
Gen 50:20But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. Even when Powerful people plotted to course him harm,Joseph saw God bring good from it. The experiences in Joseph's life taught him that God bring good from evil for those who trust him. Do you trust God enough to wait patiently for him to bring good from the bad that happens to you?You can trust him because as Joseph learnt God can transform evil into good.
1Chr 22:1Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel. Out of David tragic mistakes come the purchase of a plot of land that would become the site of God's temple;the symbol of God's presence among his people. Every time the people went to the church they would remember Go dis their true king and that everyone including the king is human and subject to sin,God can use even our sinful acts for good purpose if are sorry for them and seek his forgiveness . When we confess our sins, the way is opened for God to work from a bad situation.
**In 11:4 Any difficult situation a believer faces can ultimately bring glory to God because God can bring good out of any bad situation. When troubles come, do you whine, complain and blame God, or do you see your problem as opportunities to honor Him?
Thank God that He is the way of goodness and Mercy. Thank God that He is the omnipresent who does forgive and restore that He is the living God who shows goodness even to the wretched. For it is Gods goodness that gives the provision to men to be forgiven. Rejoice that you have received that provision. For of a man's own self he is not able to find forgiveness, but through Christ there is forgives and tender Mercy, there is loving kindness. Rejoice even this night that you are able to proclaim the Lord, the God of goodness, the God of Mercy. The gods of men are cruel, but the living god is Merciful. Therefore greatly rejoice and be good in Him, give thanks that He is the merciful God who does show forth His mercies to you. Thank God even this night for these continuing mercies in your life. For God is merciful rejoice.

GOD ALWAYS REACHING OUT TO US IN MERCY

Gen 8: 21-And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22: While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease., Countless times throughout the Bible, we see God showing his love and patience towards men and women in order to save them. And even though God realizes that people are “bent” towards doing wrong. He continues to do his part to reach them, when we sin or fall away from God, we surely deserve to be destroyed by his judgement. But God has now promised never again to destroy everything on earth with curse of judgement until the day Jesus Christ returns to destroy evil forever. Now every change of season is a reminder of His promise.
Deut 30: 1-And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
2: And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
3: That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
4: If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:
5: And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
6: And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live., Moses told the Hebrews that when they were ready to return to God, he would be ready to receive them. God's mercy is unbelievable, it goes far beyond what we can Imagine. Even if the Jews deliberately walked away from Him and ruined their lives God would still take them back. God wants to forgive us and bring us back to Himself too. Some people will not learn until their world has crushed around them. Then the sorrow and pain seem to open their eyes to what God has been saying all along. Are you separated from God by sin? This verse assures us that no matter how far we have wondered, God promises a fresh beginning if only we will turn to Him.
There are many who do not continue steadfast in the faith but they turn aside to the cares of this life, they turn aside to circumstances, they turn aside to feelings and emotions that the enemy would put upon them. And they turn aside from God the founder of living water. Then they attempt how out for themselves broken cisterns that cannot hold water, and they say “this is where drink is”, but they dry up for they have no living water. They are not able to quench their thirst and they wonder about they bring forth no fruits, they bring forth desolation. But all of those who will put their trust to Christ, they shall not be ashamed, but they shall be glorifying his name until the end of their days. They shall go from glory to glory and they shall have abundance of water for God shall give it to them. And likewise they shall eat the finest of wheat for God shall provide for them.

GODS JUSTICE IS MERCY

Gen 18: 20-And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
21: I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
22: And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
23: And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
24: Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
25: That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
26: And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
27: And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
28: Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
29: And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.
30: And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
31: And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.
32: And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
33: And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place. Why did God let Abraham question His justice and intercede for a wicked city? Abraham knew God must punish sin, but he also knew that there is merciful to sinners. God knew that there were no ten righteous people in the city, but He was merciful enough to help Lot. Abraham's nephew got out of Sodom before it was destroyed. God does not take pleasure in destroying the wicked, but he must punish sin. He is both just and merciful we must be thankful that God's Mercy extends to us.
Num 35: 11-Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
12: And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
13: And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.
14: Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
15: These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
16: And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
17: And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
18: Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
19: The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
20: But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;
21: Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him. If anyone was found dead it was always assumed the person had been murdered but it was wrong to assume that the murder suspect was actually guilty. The people were to be intolerant of the sin, yet impartial to the accused so that he or she could have a fair trial. This demonstrates the balances between God's justice and God's mercy. God's laws about the consequences of murder show his justice. The cities of refuge represented God's concern and provision for justice in a culture that did not always protect the innocent. When you suspect wrongdoing don't dismiss it or you risk becoming tolerant of sin. Listen carefully to all sides of the story or you will risk becoming unjust yourself.
Ezra 9: 15 O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this. Ezra asked “what hope can we have if you [God] give us justice” Often cry out for justice when feel abused and unfairly treated. In those moments we forget the reality of our sins and the righteous judgement we deserve. How fortunate we are that God gives us mercy and grace rather than only justice. The next time you ask God for fair and just treatment, pause to think what would happen if God gave you what you deserve.
Psa 6: 1- O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2: Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3: My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long? David accepted God's punishment but begged God not to punish in anger. Jeremiah also asked God to correct him gently and not in anger (Jeremiah 10: 23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
24: O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. ). David recognized that if God treated him with justice alone and not with mercy he would be wiped out by God's wrath. Often we want God to show mercy on to us and justice to everyone else. In God's kindness, He often forgives us instead of us what we deserve.
Isa 35:1The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. This chapter is a beautiful picture of a final kingdom in which God will establish His justice and destroy all evil. This is the world the faithful can anticipate after the judgment, when creation itself will rejoice in God. Chapter 34 spoke of tribulation- a time when God will judge all people for their actions. Chapter 35 pictures the days after judgment when life would be peaceful at last.
Fools are who abandon themselves to the care of this life. The ones who abandoned themselves to the care of this life don't think that the care cease. For the cares only increase but the ones who abandon themselves to Christ, so does God's care for them increase. Rejoice this day for the privilege to be abandoned to God to know that Him alone is your God, your maker, your source and to know that there is none other like the Lord. To know that it is the Lord the living God who is your refuge, your strength, your glory. Rejoice and be glad.

MERCY SHOWN BY GOD TO SODOM AND LOT
Gen18:25That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? Was God being unfair to the people of Sodom? did he really plan to destroy the good with the wicked? on the contrary God's fairness stood out
1.He agree to spare the entire city if only ten godly people lived there.
2.He showed great mercy towards Lot apparently the only men in the city who had any kind of relationship with him (and even thats questionable).
God went so far as to request lot to leave Sodom before it was destroyed .Remember God's patience when you are tempted to think he is unfair .Even the most Godly people deserve his Justice. We should be glad God doesn't direct his Justice towards us as he did towards Sodom.
Thank and praise the living God that it is Him who does give you joy of his salvation .for truly it is him who does give to you the joy of his salvation. For truly he has saved you He has given you mercy and he gives you that joy again and again. Therefore be glad and give thanks. For there are some who receive the greatest gift and cast it aside,they are fools. Men have strained themselves upon this earth to receive what others throw away. But those who will be good stewards and will keep the greatest salvation God has given to them and delight themselves in same they shall know the joy of his presence They shall know the joy and delight of who he is.

GOD GIVES US MERCY IN WAYS WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT.
Gen20:6And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. Abimelech had unknowingly taken a married woman to his wife and was about to commit adultery but God somehow prevented him from touching Sarah and held him back from sining. Whats mercy on God's part ?how many times has God prevented us from doing the same?Holding us back from sin of knowing we just know from this story that he can. God works often as in ways we cant see as in ways we can see.
This night rejoice for you are privileged to be God's,that you are privileged to have received the gift of life you are privileged to come forth in the light of God's plan for you. For truly blessed is the people who the lord serve as their God for when God bows himself down to his people he serves them and when God's people bow down before him t,they serve him. Blessed are such people .rejoice that you are privileged to call upon his name. Rejoice that the Lord alone is your God your Mother and your source. This night delight yourself in the Lord,rejoice be glad and give thanks that Christ alone leads you. that Christ alone is your God and your salvation.


SEPTEMBER-24
GOD GIVE US WHAT WE DON'T DESERVE
Judges 2:15- Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
16: Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them. Despite Israel's disobedience,God showed His great mercy to Israel by providing judges to serve the people from their oppressors .”Mercy has been defined as no t giving not giving a person what he deserves”this is exactly This is what God did for Israel and what he does for us. But God shows mercy to us by providing an escape from sins penalty through Jesus Christ who alone saves us from sins. When we pray for forgiveness ,we are asking for what we do not deserve. Yet when we take this step and trust in Christ's redemptive work on our behalf,we can experience God's forgiveness
This day cherish the word that God gives to you and let it not fall to the ground ,for indeed it is precious
Cherish the word that the Living God gives you and continue to cast your bread upon the waters for that which God as called you to do is royal commission.

DEPENDING ON GOD'S MERCY
Psalms3:1-LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2: Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. DAvid felt like he was in the minority .There many have been of many as 10,000solders surrounding him at his time.(3:6-I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about. )Not only did David's enemies view life differently they actively sought to harm him As king David could have trusted his army, to defeat Absalom,But he depended upon God's mercy instead(3:4-I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. )Therefore he was at peace with any outcome occurred ,knowing that God's great purpose would prevail for his mercy in our darkest hour.
Rejoice be glad and give thanks .Do not let the every day circumstance,situation or trauma affect you but keep your vision single,cherish the word cherish the provisison of God's word that he gives to you for indeed God has not given it to many but has given it to you.THerefore count yourself as unworthy yet chosen know that it is the living God who puts the covering over you and puts the strength in you and gives you the means.Cry out to God even this day for ways that his word can be dispersed further abroad and the lord will answert you.For God desires that you would cherish the commission and cherish the very word he has given you.

SEPTEMBER-26
ASK GOD TO TEMPER HIS DISCIPLANE WITH MERCY
Psalms 38:1-O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. As a child might cry to his father so David cried to God David was not saying “don't punish me” but”don't punish me while you are angry”He acknowledged that he deserved to be punished but he asked that God temper his disciple with mercy. like responsible children we are free to ask for mercy but should not deny that we deserve punishment
The living God desires a people who are full of love for him,He desires a people who are full of his abandonment towards him,for those ones are lairs for they say they love God yet try to boss God around God does not desire his people abandoned to him. Continually seek to abandon yourself to Christ and to give over to him whatever he would ask of you For therein shall you find peace and safety. perfect live shall cast out fear and fear has torment for when you will be living in fear, of this and that because you are not fully abandoned to God. But when you are release to God and abandoned to him then the Lord is your safety and shield. Then he is your high tower and your glory.

Jonah had run away from delivering God's message of destruction to Nineveh(1:2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. ),now he wanted to die because the destruction wouldn't happen. How quickly Jonah had forgotten God's mercy on him when he was in the fish (2:10And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. )He was happy when God saved him,but angry when Nineveh was saved But Jonah was learning a valuable lesson about God's mercy and forgiveness was not only for Jonah or for Israel alone it extends to all who repent and believe
Take pleasure in seeing self dethroned in your life,for when the self is brought down then the living God is exalted. Thank God for everything that he would bring to you that would diminish your own self. There are many idolaters in this generation and the image that they worship is the image of their own self. They have been taught to worship self all the day long and up through the night,and to build an alter for the same. But when a man will yield himself to the living God,he will dismantle the alter,and he will bring it to naught.

HOW WE OBTAIN MERCY
Zech3:2-And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
3: Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
4: And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment. Zechariah's vision graphically portrays how we obtain God's mercy .WE do nothing ourselves. It is at God's initiative that our filth garments (sins) are clean clothes (the righteousness of Christ)
2nd Cor 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. ,Rev19:8And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints- all we need do is repent and ask God to forgive us.
When Satan tries to make you feel dirty, and unworthy,remember that the clean clothes of Christ's righteousness makes you worthy to draw near to God.
Thank God for everything that he takes you through that causes the king self in you to be diminished and to be brought down. do not hold to those things which would reign force the kingdom of self,but truly release those things and abandon yourself fully to Christ in every privilege to be a servant as God would ordain you to be and do not despise even the most lowly position he will succor you and will comfort you and take you forth. Thank God that his way is perfect and the way that he leads you brings forth life.

SEPTEMBER-30
MORE IMPORTANT TO GIVE MERCY THAN TO DEMAND IT.
Matt 5:39-But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40: And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
41: And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42: Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43: Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; To many Jews of thee day these statements were radical and offensive Messiah who would turn the other cheek was not the military leader they wanted to lead a revolt against Rome. Under Roman oppression they were used to retelation and hatred against their enemies but Jesus suggests a new response to injustice. Instead of demonstrating our rights he says that we give them up freely. Jesus radical statement says that it is more important to give mercy than to receive it.
Men when they are full of their own pump,they are fools and they may work up quite a sweat but they do not work up anything quite a sweat but they don't work out anything that shall endure in Christ. For they are putting on their show of seal after the fresh to be seen of men. God does not desire that of us,but he desires sincerity,truth and abandonment to Christ. Seek to please God but not men seek to continually seek the living God fore there in shall you find life. God has many blessings prepared for you and he has much goodness and you shall rejoice to receive of the Lord for He is your maker. Thank God that he leads you in a plain path,rejoice even rejoice for all things that the Lord your God does for you.

OCTOBER-1
HOW CAN WE SHOW MERCY EACH DAY.
Matt 25:34-Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37: Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38: When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39: Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40: And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. This parable describes acts of mercy are not dependent on wealth ,ability,or intelligence ,they are simple acts freely given and freely received. We have no excuse to neglect those who have deep needs and we cannot handover this responsibility to the church or government. Jesus demands personal involvement in caring for others needs (Isaiah 58:7Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?)
When any man or any woman shall center among themselves ,they center upon death but it is through the living God that the life comes forth .Do not center upon your own self but center upon the living God for He brings the life to you. When you will center upon the living God he will uplift you and He will bring you above the realms of cernelity. Thank God that He is the Lord and there is none other like him and that you are privileged to live in him. Rejoice and be exceeding glad that the living God is merciful towards you. This day even this day continue ti be as steadfast people giving thanks and giving praise. Keep yourself centered upon Christ ,keep your focus clear for in Him there is life. In self there is only death. Rejoice that the Lord is the living God.

MERCY COMES FROM DENOUNCING PRIDE.
Luke18:11-The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12: I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13: And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14: I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. The Pharisees did not go to the temple to pray to God but to announce to all within the earshot how good he was. The tax collector went recognizing his sin and begging for mercy. Self righteousness is dangerous it leads to pride causes a person to despise others and prevent him or her from learning anything from God.
The tax collectors prayers should be our prayer because we all need God's mercy everyday. Don't let pride disqualify you.
Truly God has asked us to change all the men of the earth,but he has asked us to make changes within ourselves that he would point out to us ,for many men of the earth would not change if you pushed against them with the hardest stone. Many men would not change if you gave them the riches of the kingdom,and many men will not change if you gave them all the earthly treasures. But us of the kingdom he gives us what we have need of. It is those changes that God wants to see He has called you and purposed you for his delight and for his Glory. Therefore when you yield yourself to Christ,and make these changes He desires,even the angels shall rejoice,for you are well pleasing to him.


OCTOBER-3
GODS MERCY IS WHAT FORGIVES US
Eph 4:32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. This is Christ's law of forgiveness as taught in the Gospels (Mathew 6:14- For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. ),18:35So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.,Mk11:25And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.)WE also see it in the lord's prayer “forgive our debts as we forgive our debtors”God does not forgive us because we forgive others,but out of his great mercy,AS we come to understand his mercy however we will want to be like him. Having received forgiveness,we will pass it on to others. Those who are unwilling to forgive Have not become one with Christ who was willing to forgive even those who crucified him (Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. )
Thank God for the mercies that he gives to his people daily,for those who are in God's company of the beloved receive mercies. For he is the God who is full of mercy.Thank God that he is the merciful God,the abundant God,that there is none other like him. Thank God that you may follow after him,that you may rejoice in him,that you may find delight in him. Look not to the left or right but look to Christ forhe is your refuge, your strength,your mercy and your glory..LOOK to Jesus Christ and find your strength for he is your refuge.
Even this day let your heart be uplifted,for the treasure is not in this world but in the lord and he gives to you treasure in abundance.Let your heart be uplifted for God reveals himself to you,he shows you his path,he shows you his goodness,he shows you his blessings.Let your heart be uplifted.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

Flesh
in the Old Testament denotes (1) a particular part of the body
of man and animals (Gen. 2:21; 41:2; Ps. 102:5, marg.); (2) the
whole body (Ps. 16:9); (3) all living things having flesh, and
particularly humanity as a whole (Gen. 6:12, 13); (4) mutability
and weakness (2 Chr. 32:8; comp. Isa. 31:3; Ps. 78:39). As
suggesting the idea of softness it is used in the expression
"heart of flesh" (Ezek. 11:19). The expression "my flesh and
bone" (Judg. 9:2; Isa. 58:7) denotes relationship.

In the New Testament, besides these it is also used to denote
the sinful element of human nature as opposed to the "Spirit"
(Rom. 6:19; Matt. 16:17). Being "in the flesh" means being
unrenewed (Rom. 7:5; 8:8, 9), and to live "according to the
flesh" is to live and act sinfully (Rom. 8:4, 5, 7, 12).

This word also denotes the human nature of Christ (John 1:14,
"The Word was made flesh." Comp. also 1 Tim. 3:16; Rom. 1:3).

NOT IN THE FLESH BUT IN THE SPIRIT
Rom8:8, So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9: But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.Have you ever worried whether or not you are a Christian?A Christian is anyone who has the spirit of God living in him or her if you have sincerely trusted Christ for your salvation and acknowledge him as your Lord then the holy spirit has come into your life and you are a Christian. You will know He has come because the Jesus promised he would. When the holy spirit is working within you ,you will believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord and God's son and that eternal life comes through him.(1Jn5:5-Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6: This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7: For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8: And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. ) you will begin to act as Christ Directs. (Rom8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.,Gal 5:22-But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23: Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. ) You will find help in your daily problems and in your praying (Rom 8:26-Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27: And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God) you will be empowered to serve God and do hi swill become part of God's plan to build up his church(eph4:12-For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:)
Go has not called us to expand ourselves in exihibation of the flesh. But he has called us for the usefulness of his kingdom. Therefore rejoice when the Living God shall put his refiners fire upon you,that he makes you useful in his kingdom many .for many in this generation expand themselves for the exhibition of the flesh. And their labor are in vain. For they desire men to worship them that is by labor in vain. But when we will be refined by God's fire and brought forth for his purpose we are more useful for God's kingdom. There are many ways that the living God will show you how that you may bring forth .God has purposed you for the bringing forth His kingdom and not for the exihibation of flesh. When God would cause you to die to yourself that he may be flourished in you. Rejoice and be glad that he may further his kingdom purposes in you and through you,and by you. for the exihibation of flesh is in vanity but the purpose of God's
kingdom are eternal,therefore rejoice for the way that the living God does purpose you and bring you forth. Rejoice this day and be glad.


OCTOBER-5
TO LIVE AFTER THE FLESH
Rom:8:12-13 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13: For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. It would certainly be a surprise if you planted corn in the ground and pumpkins come up. But it probably be not a surprise if you gossiped about your friends and soon found you had no friends its a law of life. both physical and spiritual that you would reap a crop of sorrow and evil. If you plant to pleas God,you'll reap joy and everlasting life,what kind of seeds are we sowing in the soil of your life?(Gal6:7- Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8: For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. )
We should consider ourselves needy and unresponsive to evil desires,sexual sin,impurity,lustful desires and materialism. This is never easy so we must make a conscious daily decision to live according to God's values and to rely on the holy spirits power (Cor3:5-Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
6: Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.)
This day it is not mistake that the living God has set you in the midst of heathen. For it is symbolic that God has sent you in the midst of heathen lands Yeah God has sent you in the midst of heathen lands,for it is a new beginning of God's spirit river,the beginning of God's spirit people and the beginning of God's spirit life. And it is the living God who has sent you in the midst of the same,that is the ancient heathen and you shall rejoice and be glad when you see His power Manifest For there are no mistakes in the Lord. There are no mistakes in what He does. and though the witchcraft is all about you the spirit of God lights is himself up in the midst of you and he pours fourth his glory therefore rejoice for god's positioning f you for there are no mistakes in him,and is the living god who has purposed you this land,it is the living god who has purposed you in this cradle ,yeah it is the living God brings fourth light in the
midst of darkness,yeah there after darkness ancient darkness God brings his light. For this rejoice and be glad.


OCTOBER-6
MAKE NOT PROVISONS FOR THE FLESH
Rom:13:12-The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13: Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14: But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. Some people are surprised that Paul lists jealousy and lust with the gross and obvious sin of drunkenness,adultery and fighting. Like Jesus in his sermon on the mountain,(Mathew 5:7Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. ) Paul considers attitudes to murder,so jealousy leads to fighting and lust to adultery. When Christ returns he wants to find his people clean on the inside as well as outside.
That which is dead does not the living God cause it to live? That which is dried up does not the living God cause it to live? through the water of the world ,through the waters of his spirit,God brings life. There fore do not doubt the living God but believe him know that he is well able. For that which the lord created can he not cause it to spring to life? thus he can look not upon the dryness and the stagnation and the deadness of men, but look to him for he is the one who brings the life. Men aside form the living God are as grass they are dead they wither and die,they are as dead but through Christ they are full of vibrancy of God's life. It is not Men who are alive,but it is God's spirit that is alive. Therefore do not look to Christ and and know that he is the lord the son of the living God, look to him and know that he may send the waters of his word. The waters of his spirit,and cause even the dead to live.

OCTOBER-7
THAT NO FLESH MAY GLORY.
1Cor1:29- That no flesh should glory in his presence.
30: But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. Paul continues to emphasis that the way to receive salvation is so ordinary
and simple that any person who wants can understand it. Skill does not get into God's kingdom,simple faith does. God planned it this way so that no one boasts that his achievement, helped him secure eternal life. Salvation is totally from God through Jesus death which allowed us to become perfect in God's eyes. There is nothing we can do to become acceptable to God,we need only accept what the work,we acknowledge that work we acknowledge his position as God.
Thank the living God that he has given you the privilege to enter into spirit. For when men will live in the in the carnal realm they will die in the same and they will be destroyed .But when Men enter into spirit and remain they are a privileged class. They are a chosen people. Thank the living God today that he has given the privilege to you,Stop and consider the multitudes upon the earth who are blind they stagger in blindness,they go on in darkness for they cannot see for they have not entered into spirit. But the living God has brought you into his spirit dimension into his spiritual realm and he gives the eyes to see therefore rejoice and be glad proclaim the light to other as he has given the light to you. And never cease in giving thanks to the living God that he has privileged you to enter into spirit,to enter into the realms where he abides for men have strained themselves over the ages but they have no received what God
has given freely to you. Therefore,be thankful to him serve him with with gratitude ,serve him with the attitude of thanksgiving,,for when you will do so ,his goodness remains and his spirit pours his goodness remains and his spirit pour out upon you. This day rejoice,be glad that you are privileged to enter into spirit.


8-OCTOBER

FLESH BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT
1Cor 15;50-Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51: Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53: For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. We all face limitations those who face physical,mental or emotional handicaps are especially aware of this some may be blind but they can see way to live. some may be deaf but they can hear God's news. Some may be lame but they can walk in God's love
In addition they have the encouragement that handcuffs are only temporary. Paul tells us that we shall be given new bodies when Jesus returns and these bodies will be without handcuffs never to die or become sick. This can give us hope in our suffering
Thank God that his righteousness and holiness and that he leads you forth in a plain path. The ways of men are confusion but ,delusion and they are in madness for they will not humble themselves before God but they will go headlong into their own destruction for they are blinded by their pride .But when you will follow Christ ,he will reveal the pride that would seek to blind you,and he will bring you forth as it pleases him. and the living God will cover you and cover and he will give to you such as you have need of .In every circumstance the living God will give you such as you have need of. Continually look to Christ for he is your source,your strength,your high tower and your glory and when you cry to him,he hears you.



OCTOBER-9
I CONFERRED NOT WITH FLESH AND BLOOD.
Gal 1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: The word Jew refers not only to nationality but also to religion. To be fully Jews a person should have descended from Abraham. In addition a faithful Jew adheres to Jewish law,Gentiles are not Jews whether in nationality or religion .in Paul's days Jews thought of all Gentiles as pagans. Jews avoided Gentiles because they believed contact with the Gentiles brought spiritual corruption although Gentiles by nationality could become Jews In religion by undergoing circumcision and by following Jewish law and customs they were never fully accepted.
Many Jewish had a difficult time understanding God's message is of Jewish and Gentiles alike. Some Jews thought gentiles had to become Jews before they could become Christians But God planned to bless to bless both Jews and Gentiles .He had revealed this this plan through old testament prophets (Gen.12:3,Isa 42:6,66:19) He fulfilled it through Jesus Christ and he was proclaiming it to the gentiles through Paul.
Stop and consider the multitudes throughout the earth , who cry and cry ,they try to emptiness and dissolution for their gods are dead. their gods cannot answer them. for their gods are dead thank God you are privileged to bow to him continually and receive life. Thank the Lord your God that he is your everything .For when he is your covering then shall he direct and then guide you and keep you. Cry to God continually for indeed he is your source .indeed he is your strength and your Glory . When you look to Christ you look to Christ you look to life Thank God that he is the life ,thank God that he is the life,thank God that there is none other than Him and that he is your maker and your God and that you are privileged to live in him (Gal 1:10-24).

LIFE I NOW LIVE IN THE FRESH
Gal2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. In what sense have I been crucified with Christ? Legally God looks at at me as if I had died with Christ,because my sins died with him,i am no longer condemned.(2col2:13-For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
14: Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
15: And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. )relationally I have become one with Christ and his experiences are mine,my Christian life began when in unity with him .I died to my old life (Rom6:5-For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7: For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8: Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10: For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11: Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. ) in my daily life I had repeatedly to crucify sinful desires that have that have tried to keep me from following Christ. This too is a kind of dying with him.(Lk9:23-And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24: For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25: For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? )
And yet the focus of Christianity is not dying ,but living because,i have been crucified with Christ ,I have also been raised with him.(Rom6:5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: )Legally I have been reconciled with God (2cor5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.) and as I continue to fight sin Christ resurrection power is abundantly available in me.(Eph 1:19-And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to usward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20: Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, ) Christ lives in me this is my reason for living and my hope for future (Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:)
Even today look unto Jesus Christ because he is the Son of the miracle working God. and he may work miracles for you and he may bring forth abundance for you as it pleases him Do not look to men but look to the Lord for He is your God and of miracles and and continue to cry to him for the waters of his rivers to come for they come and come and come for there is no end to those water. Continually cry out for those waters that they may be in midst of you and they shall overflow
Again thank God that he is your source,your strength,your refuge.


OCTOBER-11
THE FLESH LUSTS AFTER THE SPIRIT
Gal 5:17For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.Paul describes the two forces at work with us-The holy spirit and our evil inclination. Paul is not saying that these forces are equal. The holy spirit is infinitely stronger,but we are weak. left to our sin. we will make wrong choices. Our only way to freedom from our own evil desires is through the empowering of the holy spirit.(Rom8:9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.,Eph 4:23-And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24: And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. ,Col3:3- For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4: When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5: Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6: For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8: But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.)
Continue to pray ,continue to cry out that God's river of glory may be increased to you and not only to you alone but to those through out the earth who cry to the living God who long for him and desire him. For there are many who have not been fed,there are many who have never heard ,there are many who weep and weep and weep,pray,continue to pray that the river of Glory may flow out for the living God shall meet those who will long for him and he wiil meet those who will cry out for Him,and he will meet those who desire for him.


OCTOBER-12
LUST OF FLESH AND DESIRE OF FLESH
Eph2:3Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. The fact that all people without exception,commit sin proves that they share in the sinful nature .Does this mean there are no good people who are not Christians?Of course not many people do good to others. On a relative seate are moral,kind,keep the law and so on. Comparing these people to criminals we would say they are very good indeed .But on absolute scale no one would say they are very good indeed. But on through uniting our lives to Christ's perfect life can we become good in God's sight.
God is full of Glory and it gives him pleasure to pour Himself upon those who desire and long for him. Rejoice that god has given you the privilege to be co-laborers , that he gives you the privilege to do those things that he would put before you as a steadfast people many have turned aside and they have swallowed deceit and their bellies are full of gravel,for they have not eaten that which would give them life but they have eaten that which would bring them death .Rejoice that the living God does give you the privilege to eat of the life. for he is the life .Rejoice and be exceedingly glad that you are of him Thank God that there is none other like the living God and you are privileged to be in him. Seek daily for God's kingdom for when you abide in Christ,you are in his kingdom.


OCTOBER-13
HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE FLESH
Phil3:2-Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3: For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4: Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:6Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. It is important to place more emphasis on our religious effort than on eternal faith but God values the attitude of our hearts above all else. Don't judge people spiritually by their fulfillment of rituals or level of human activity. Or don't think you will satisfy God by feverishly doing his work God notices all you do for him and will reward you for it but if you only accept his free gift of salvation.
At first glance it seems that Paul is boasting about his achievements. But he is actually doing the opposite,showing that human achievement no matter how impressive,cannot earn a person salvation and eternal life with God. Paul had impressive credentials,upbringing,Nationality, family backgrounds,orthodoxy, activity and morality. fall short of gods holy standards. Are you depending on Christian parents,church affliction or just being good to make you right with God?Credentials,accomplishments fall short of Gods holy standards. like Paul you must realize that salvation comes only through faith in Christ.
Do not look to the kingdom of men bot look to God for he is your God and He is your strength and your power and your glory. When you shall look to Christ the son of the living God,shall he not impart the life to you again?Thank God that he directs your steps that he leads you in a plain path. Thank God for the mercies that he gives forth Daily ,continue to pray for those who are locked in those are under the oppression of the wicked one ,continue to pray for them that they will be delivered and brought forth .There are many exiting and rich days ahead for you for God will give his abundance and goodness and you shall know that you are his people. God has many good things prepared for those who continue. when you continue in him his goodness is multiplied in you.


OCTOBER-14
HATING GARMENTS SPOTTED BY FLESH
Jude22-And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Effective witnessing saves people from God's judgment. Unbelievers no matter how successful they seem by earthly standards are lost in need of salvation we should not take witnessing lightly. It is a matter of life and death in trying to find common ground with the same whom we witness,we must be careful not to fall in the quicksand of compromise. When reacting out to others we should be sure our own footing is safe and secure be sure not to become so much like non Christians that no one can tell who you are or what you believe. Influence them for Christ doesn't allow them to influence you to sin.
Thank the lord your God that he does give to you in every circumstance such as you in need of and when you give thanks and the praise to God,he is able to bless you and prosper you as it pleases him. There are many blessings that God has given you and you shall see the fulfillment of those if you will but hold to them,and hold steadfastly to what the lord your God does speak to you,and believe God beyond all circumstances for he is able those who will believe Christ and trust him ,They shall see him revealed. Thank God that he reveals himself to you,Thank him that he is the Ram.

DON'T FORGET GOD IS YOUR ABUNDANCE
Deut8:11- Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
12: Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
13: And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
14: Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
15: Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
16: Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
17: And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
18: But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
19: And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
In times of plenty it is easy to take credit for your prosperity and begin to feel that your own hardworking and cleverness have made you rich. It is easier yet so busy collecting and managing your wealth that you soon God has been pushed right out of your life ,but it is God who blesses us with abundance and it is God who asks us to manage it for him Don't forget him in your abundance or you will lose what you have (8:19).Remember that the most valuable things in life your relationship with God and eternal life are free.
It is God the loving Lord who does provide abundantly for you. stop and consider the abundance of provision that God gives to you day by day for God gives you his life ,he gives you his word,he gives you his spirit to guide you,God gives you the living waters. What more could a man want upon this earth?God gives you peace and his safety. he gives His shielding hand over you and he leads you in the way of his righteousness .He gives you His abundance therefore rejoice and give thanks for indeed He is God of abundance towards you consider the wretchedness and the destruction of men's soul then consider the the bountiful mercies God has put upon you and do not ever grow ungrateful towards God ,but develop and use the attitude of gratitude for God is ever merciful towards you and his abundance does flow. Thank God that you are privileged to live and abide in the flow of his abundance.

ABUNDANCE CAN BE A BARRIER TO FAITH
MK 10:23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
JESUS SAID IT WAS VERY for rich to enter into the kingdom of God because the rich have most of their basic physical needs needs met and can become self reliant. When they feel empty they can buy something new to dull the pain that was meant to drive them towards God their abundance becomes their deficiency. The person who has everything on earth can still look what is most important eternal life.
The way of transgressors is hard ,it is cruel and oppressive for they have transgressed against God But those who will obey God they shall know His mercies continually for he is the merciful God and it gives Him pleasure to give goodness to his people. Therefore seek to know God and know his goodness and mercy all of your days. here are those who don't seek to obey but simply middle themselves along then,they are taken in the way of transgression,But when you will seek to obey God and purpose yourself to be obedient you shall know the abundance of goodness and mercy that God is.
Rejoice even this day you are privileged to call God master and Lord ,rejoice that God is your sovereign over you seek to know God and know his goodness multiplied to you Seek to obey God and know his mercies abounding for when you will seek for obedience God will lead you I n the way of goodness,it is the privilege to be God's people.

MEANS OF OBTAINING PROVISION WERE CHANGED AFTER EDEN.
Gen4:2And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
No longer was everything provided for Adam and Eve as in the garden of Eden. Although they worked to care for the garden ,their tasks were probably fun and delightful. But now Adam and his family had to struggle to fight the elements in order to grow their own food and spin wool for their clothes. Adam's oldest son Cain became a farmer while Abel the youngest became a shepherd. Farming and shepherding are the two oldest occupations on earth, and in the middle East today their jobs have changed little over the centuries
This day drive out the perturbing spirit that is in the midst of you.For truly it is not God's spirit,but its the spirit of disruption,it is the spirit of accusation against us that is perturbing,drive it out before you even begin. For if you begin you will be even perturbing the spirit in your midst drive it out.
Thank God that he the living God has privileged you to be children of his word.Yeah that God has called you to be people of his word,for the word of God does remain of the treasure that comes and goes upon the earth. God's word does remain yeah God has called you to be the people of his word Therefore greatly rejoice for the greatest treasure that God bestows upon you greatly rejoice that you are able to give the thanks to God. Continue to seek to give away what God give to you for it is increased in abundance
Cain(“acquisition”) is a type of a m are man of the earth. His religion was destate of any adequate sense of sin or need of atonment.This region type is described in 2 Peter2 seven things are said of him:-
1)He worships in self will.
2)Is angry with God
3)refuses to bring a sin offering
4) Murders his brother
5)Lies to God.
6) Becomes vegebound
7) Is nevertheless the object of divine solitude.

Abel (“exhalation or that which ascends”) is a type of the spiritual men his sacrifice in which atoning blood was shed(Heb9:22)was therefore at once his confession of sin and expression of of his faith in the interposition of a substitute Heb 11:4.

GOD PROVIDES IN AMAZING WAYS.
1Kings 17:10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
In a nation that was required by law to care for its prophets IT is ironic that God turns to ravens (unclean birds) and a widow( a foreigner from Jezebel's home territory) to care for Elijah. God has help where we least expect it. He provides for us in ways that goes beyond our narrow definitions or expectations. No matter how bitter our trials or how seemingly our hopeless our situation ,we should look for God's hand of care. We may find his providence in some strange places.
It is easy when you walk in the shallow of another to criticize them. For they carry the load for you and you can criticize them. But could you walk as well as they walk if you carried the load alone?No!Do not despise the coverings that God gives to you for it is him the living God who provides the coverings for you to guide you. Therefore rejoice and pray for one another Do not be continually criticizing ,but be undergirding in prayers and supplications. For when God provides you a covering it is because you are not sufficient in yourself. therefore do not despise and criticize what God gives you but realize that you could not even carry the load that the one you criticize carries. And look at your own self and realize if it is not for God's mercy over you that you will fall apart.


OCTOBER-19
GOD WILL PROVIDE THE MEANS TO DO RIGHT.
1King 18:36- And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
37: Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
Just as God fleshed fire from heaven,for Elijah he will help us command what he commands us to do. The prove may not be as dramatic in our life's as in Elijah but God will make resources available to us in creative ways to accomplish his purposes. He will give us the wisdom to raise a family,the courage to take a stead for truth,or or the means to provide help for someone in need. Like Elijah we can have faith that ,whatever god commands us to do,He will provide what we need to carry it through.
Do not be wise in your own conceit and think because you are able that it is because of your own strength. But it is God's strength upon you There fore rejoice be glad that he gives you his strength when men are puffed up in their own glory they imagine the strength is their own,they imagine they can do anything. But they are fools for if the living God does not keep you you will not be kept. And if God does not cover you you will not be strong therefore rejoice for the provision of covering over you. and rejoice for overall strength and glory. And be thankful to God that he provides. And walk day by day in humility before God thanking him for the way that he has led you and directed your paths.

And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. In a nation that was required by law to care for its prophets IT is ironic that God turns to ravens (unclean birals) and a widow( a foreigner from Jezebel's home territory) to care for Elijah. God has help where we least expect it. He provides for us in ways that goes beyond our narrow definitions or expectations. No matter how bitter our trials or how seemingly our hopeless our situation ,we should look for God's hand of care. We may find his providence in some strange places.
It is easy when you walk in the shallow of another to criticize them. For they carry the load for you and you can criticize them. But could you walk as well as they walk if you carried the load alone?No!Do not despise the coverings that God gives to you for it is him the living God who provides the coverings for you to guide you. Therefore rejoice and pray for one another Do not be continually criticizing ,but be undergirding in prayers and supplications. For when God provides you a covering it is because you are not sufficient in yourself. therefore do not despise and criticize what God gives you but realize that you could not even carry the load that the one you criticize carries. And look at your own self and realize if it is not for God's mercy over you that you will fall apart.

GOD WILL PROVIDE THE MEANS TO DO RIGHT.
1King 18:36-And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
37: Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. just as God fleshed fire from heaven,for Elijah he will help us command what he commands us to do. The prove may not be as dramatic in our life's as in Elijah but God will make resources available to us in creative ways to accomplish his purposes. He will give us the wisdom to raise a family,the courage to take a stead for truth,or or the means to provide help for someone in need. Like Elijah we can have faith that ,whatever god commands us to do,He will provide what we need to carry it through.
Do not be wise in your own conceit and think because you are able that it is because of your own strength. But it is God's strength upon you There fore rejoice be glad that he gives you his strength when men are puffed up in their own glory they imagine the strength is their own,they imagine they can do anything. But they are fools for if the living God does not keep you you will not be kept. And if God does not cover you you will not be strong therefore rejoice for the provision of covering over you. and rejoice for overall strength and glory. And be thankful to God that he provides. And walk day by day in humility before God thanking him for the way that he has led you and directed your paths.

THROUGH CHRIST YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS.

Syn: do, ut.
[WordNet 1.5]


From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :

do \do\ (d[=oo]), v. t. or auxiliary. [imp. did (d[i^]d); p.
p. done (d[u^]n); p. pr. & vb. n. Doing (d[=oo]"[i^]ng).
This verb, when transitive, is formed in the indicative,

(d[u^]th); when auxiliary, the second person is, thou dost.
As an independent verb, dost is obsolete or rare, except in

doeth is a verb unlimited, doth, formerly so used, now being
the auxiliary form. The second pers, sing., imperfect tense,
is didst (d[i^]dst), formerly didest (d[i^]d"[e^]st).] [AS.
d[=o]n; akin to D. doen, OS. duan, OHG. tuon, G. thun, Lith.
deti, OSlav. d[=e]ti, OIr. d['e]nim I do, Gr. tiqe`nai to

Note:
(a) Do and did are much employed as auxiliaries, the verb
to which they are joined being an infinitive. As an
auxiliary the verb do has no participle. "I do set my
bow in the cloud." --Gen. ix. 13. [Now archaic or
rare except for emphatic assertion.]
[1913 Webster]

the knowledge of the public. -- Macaulay.
(b) They are often used in emphatic construction. "You
don't say so, Mr. Jobson. -- but I do say so." --Sir
W. Scott. "I did love him, but scorn him now."
--Latham.
(c) In negative and interrogative constructions, do and
did are in common use. I do not wish to see them;
what do you think? Did C[ae]sar cross the Tiber? He
did not. "Do you love me?" --Shak.
(d) Do, as an auxiliary, is supposed to have been first
used before imperatives. It expresses entreaty or
earnest request; as, do help me. In the imperative
mood, but not in the indicative, it may be used with
the verb to be; as, do be quiet. Do, did, and done
often stand as a general substitute or representative
verb, and thus save the repetition of the principal
verb. "To live and die is all we have to do."
--Denham. In the case of do and did as auxiliaries,
the sense may be completed by the infinitive (without
to) of the verb represented. "When beauty lived and
died as flowers do now." --Shak. "I . . . chose my
wife as she did her wedding gown." --Goldsmith.
[1913 Webster]

My brightest hopes giving dark fears a being.
As the light does the shadow. -- Longfellow.
In unemphatic affirmative sentences do is, for the
most part, archaic or poetical; as, "This just
reproach their virtue does excite." --Dryden.

that extremity, that were it not for God they would not
know what to do with themselves." --Tillotson.

intercourse with; to deal with. When preceded by what, the
notion is usually implied that the affair does not concern
the person denoted by the subject of have. "Philology has
to do with language in its fullest sense." --Earle. "What

CAN DO ALL THINGS GOD ASK BY HELP OF CHRIST
Phil4:12-I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13: I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Paul was content because he could see life from god's point of view .he focused on what he was supposed to do,not what he felt he should have. He had his priorities straight and was thankful for everything God had given him. Often the desire for more or better possessions is really a longing to fill empty places in ones life. to what are drawn when you feel empty inside?How can you find true contentment ?The answer lies in your perspective your priorities and your source. of power.
Indeed of your own self you are not sufficient,but through Christ you can do all things Do not forget to give God the praise the honor and the glory to God. And do not steal God's glory to your own self and say it is your own intelligence for you are a lier deceiving yourself. But give the glory to God for he alone is your God,your maker and your keeper. And God desires you to be a people made strong.

OCTOBER-26

ALIGNING DEMONSTRATION OF CHRIST'S POWER.
2nd Cor 12:9And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Although God did not remove Paul physical affliction,he promised to demonstrate his power in Paul. The fact that God's power shows up in weak people should give us courage. If we recognize our limitations we will not congratulate ourselves. Instead we will turn to God to seek pathways for effectiveness. We must rely on God for our effectiveness
rather than simple energy effort or talent. Our weaknesses not only help develop Christian character,it also deepens our worship for in admitting our weakness we affirm God's strength.
When you are abandoned to God's purposes, you find peace and rest for your soul,for in abandonment to God a man shall find the peace that so many men work for. But when you do not abandon yourself to God you do not find that peace of rest,for you do not trust God.Those4 in the wilderness did not enter God's rest because they did not trust God. But they murmured,they complained against God. They thought they knew a better way .They wouldst go forth in courage and faith and confidence believing God. But they trusted in their own selves,they trusted in their own interpretation, and they were carnally minded They missed the very inheritance that God had for them. But today continue to press towards trusting God,continue pressing towards confidence in God and as you shall do so in abandonment to Christ ,the living God will give you his peace,he will give you his rest,he will give you his glory Rejoice for the privilege that the living God gives you to
receive for it is right before God. and has your confidence in him you shall receive for the living God does not with hold from those he loves. But He gives his blessings and peace to them.

APART FROM JESUS CHRIST YOU CANNOT DO A THING.
John15:5-I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6: If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. Living in Christ means:-
1)believing he is god the son.john4:15
2)receiving him as savior and lord(john 1:12)
3)doing what god says.1john3:24
4)Continuing in Faith (1 john2:24)
5)Relating to the community of believers ,Christs body.
Rejoice this day for the privilege to be God's people ,rejoice for the privilege to go forward in life,to go forward in the left nor right but look to Christ in faith,look to Christ in confidence,look to Christ in hope. Thank God again that he alone is your master your lord,your maker and your keeper.

Take it as light thing but rather rejoice for the store house that God gives to you and yet your garners are full,for the lord is the God of abundance and he is abundant towards you.

OUT OF HIS GLORIOUS UNLIMITED RESOURCES
Eph3:16That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; We can trust that God will always meet our needs,but we should remember he may not supply them all in this life. Christians suffer and die,(traditions say Paul himself was beheaded) and God does not always intervene to spare them. In the new earth however when sin has been permanently destroyed our wants and needs will be abundantly supplied for eternity.(Phil4:12,13,19)
Rejoice in Christ and be exceeding glad that God brings the light to you,that he brings mercy to you that he brings the goodness for he is is the living God,when you live in Christ ,You live in life continually seek to live in Christ for he is the living God. Turn not to the left nor right ,but turn to Christ fully ,partake of him particulate in his kingdom for he is the Son of the living God. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad that you are privileged to live in Christ , do not be weary but look to the Lord for he is your strength,and he will strengthen those who call out for him,and he will strengthen those who look out to him,continually look to you with weariness,but look to Christ for indeed he is the strength of his people.


OCTOBER-29
CHRIST KNOWS WHAT IT IS LIKE WHEN WE SUFFER AND ARE TEMPTED
Heb:2:18For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. knowing that Christ suffered and was tempted helps us go through our own suffering we know he understands our struggles we trust him to help us survive suffering and overcome temptation. When you face trials,trials go to Jesus. he understands your needs and is able to help you
(Heb 4:14- Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15: For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16: Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.)
many are the sorrows of those who will transgress if those who shall turn aside and bow to other gods for when they will bow to other gods The living God shall multiply their sorrows,and shall multiply them again and again. Thank God that you are privileged to bow to Him. for him alone is the true God. When you would see men bow to other gods they have bowed to death,thank God that he gives life to all those who cry out to him. Continually cry out to God and he shall give you his life .Continually look to the lord for He is your source and your strength. Know that God is your refuge. Thank God that He is your High tower and your glory

1 Pet4:14-If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
15: But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
16: Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. Again Peter brings to mind Jesus words “when you are reviled and persecuted and lied about because you are my followers -wonderful”(mt5:11) it is never shameful to work for Christ,and he will send his spirit to strengthen those who are persecuted for their faith. This does not mean that all suffering is good ,however sometimes a person will grumble “he is just picking on me because I am a Christian” When it is clear to everybody that the persons unpleasant behavior is the cause of his problems. It may take careful thoughts or wise counsel to determine the real cause of our suffering. We can be assured however that whenever we suffer because of our loyalty to Christ,He will be with us all the way.
Continually yield yourself to Jesus Christ yield yourself over to God,for When you are a yielded people,then God is able to move through you as it pleases him. yield not to the pleasures of men but yield to God for he is the living God stop0 and consider God's people who would say they are his people ,yet they do not do as God would desire. Who are they serving? they are serving their own selves and they are serving the pressures of men. But God desires a people who will serve him and him alone..For he has chosen and called you for his own good purpose. Continue to bow down,continue to serve God ,Continue to yield yourself over to him,For it gives God pressure when his people are his vessels,for he has paid for his people he has purchased them .And it gives God pressure when his people are his vessels .We are living in times when evil does abide in every hand,but to those who will bow the knee to the Lord,they shall know his goodness and they
shall know his blessedness God will continually pour upon them and guide them in a plain path you need not be full of confusion choose not many masters but chose the living God as your master. For when God has the misery over you,then is life made simple then is confusion gone for God leads you in a plain path you will see those who are complaining continuously of confusion but they bring it up upon themselves for they bow to many masters but bow to the living God Father of our lord Jesus Christ bow to his desire and you shall find his perfect peace.

THE LORD CAN RESCUE US FROM TEMPTATIONS THAT SURROUND US.
2Peter 2:7And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9: The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:- Just as God rescued lot from Sodom so he will rescue us from temptation of the wicked world. Lot was not sinless but he put his trust in God and was spared when Sodom was destroyed. Lot is called Good Ruth the descendants of Moab was as a result of Jesus Christ even though Mo0ab was was as a result of lots incestuous relationship with one of his daughters .This gives Hope to us that God forgives and often brings to us positive circumstances from evil. What is the direction of your life? Are you ended towards God or away from him? if you are after the choice for God may seem difficult but it is the one choice that puts all their choices in a different light. Gen 14.
Do not look to the left nor right,but look to left nor right but look to Christ,look to Christ and go forth in the strength that God gives you.For indeed God's strength is precious and go forth in Gods strength is precious and it is enduring,the strength of men shall fade away but God's strength shall remain. For Lord is the infinite God,He is the endless God and there is no end to the source that he is. When you will rely upon God,He is the lam,and He will never fail you,and he will never leave you nor forsake you. Draw of God's strength continually for he is the life. Thank God that he is the life and he comes to you. Continue steadfast in prayers and supplication that God has put before you ,cry out for the souls of man for through out the Earth they perish and perish and there is none that will intercede for it is not Gods desire that any should perish ,but it is God's desire that they should come to him .Continue in the
intersession that God has put before you and Weary not ,continue as steadfast people.

I AM WEARY OF MY LIFE:
Gen 27:46And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me Esau married heathen women,this upset his parents greatly most parents have a lifetime of insight into the character of their children. They can be a storehouse of good advice. You may not agree with everything your parents say but at least talk with them and listen carefully. This will help avoid the hard feelings Esau experienced (Gen 26:34-35)
Do not be weary with the weariness of men,but look to Christ and know that he shall strengthen you and know he shall give you such as you have need for. Do not be worried with the weariness of men,but look to Jesus Christ for he alone is the Son of the living God your God. your maker,your source and your strength,look to him.

11: And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from the Philistines.
12: But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.
13: And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
14: And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
15: And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!
16: And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.
17: And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.

Obey God's spirit commands for when you will obey the commands of God's spirit then you live and you bring fourth his purpose. There are many who disobey God's spirit commands because they allow their carnal reasoning to interfere. If you will be an obedient person and walk in spirit and truth you will see God's spirit life brought forth. But when a man remains in the carnal plain and disavows himself from God's spirit commands
What can be brought forth? he brings forth the wind for the life is the spirit and when you will obey the commands God gives you in spirit those things that God devises to be brought forth. Rejoice that you are privileged to receive commands in God's spirit. Be obedient to the same for indeed a surety in the spirit is life. Rejoice that God is spirit and that he leads you In truth.

MY SOUL IS WEARY
Job10:1 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. 1 When we face baffling afflictions,a human response is to feel sorry for ourselves,.Our pain leads us towards self pity. At this point we are one step from self-righteousness,where we keep track of life's injustices and say “look what happened to me how unfair it is “This comes close to saying God is unfair. Remember life trials whether caused by God or allowed by God can be life development and refinement when facing trials ask what can I learn when facing trials? ask what can I learn and how can I grow? rather than who did this to me and how can I get out of it. Job 3:17
When men think they may put God in a cage,they are fools for God is the only omnipresent God the living bread. Thank the living God that he keeps his watch over you that he protects shields and keeps his watch over you. That he protects you by his eye. thank god that god is in the midst of you,that he gives his goodness day y day by day. Eat of the goodness that god gives for it refurbishes You. It strengthens you ,rejoice and be glad. It is god's desire that his people would know that he is god of goodness and they would flourish in that goodness all their days. But because god's people are stubborn and hard hearted,they receive not but you have opened your heart to God to receive therefore continue steadfast in the way and Gods goodness shall come to you ,Rejoice be glad that God is the god of goodness.

NOW GOD HAS MADE ME WEARY
Job 16:7But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company. First Job's children died and his friends condemned him he felt God had deserted him ,No wonder he wanted to die. But God still had something to reveal to him and us through experiences

There is none of all god's that men have formed that they have brought forth out of wickedness of their hearts and imaginations out of their rebellion against God that there is no of all the god's who is like the living God. the Living God alone reigns supreme,He alone is sovereign. He alone is the lam for this rejoice be glad and give thanks.

THOU HAS NOT GIVEN WATER TO THE WEARY.
Job 22:7Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry. JOb declared that he did not try to hide his sin as Adam did (Gen:3)Adam did not hear a cloud watching him,but he tried to hide from God,the feat that our sins will be discovered leads us to patterns of deception. WE cover up with lies so that we will appear good to others. But we cannot hide from God. Acknowledge your sins and free yourself to receive forgiveness and new life.
The living God makes the way but when men despise the way,they will pull up another way but the way of men is destruction.therefore do not seek to prove God's way but accept God's way for God's way is perfect. And that which the living God brings forth,is his therefore do not contend with God,but get behind Christ and follow after for he leads you in a plain path and he directs you but but if you shall say lets take this path,lets take that road and another road you shall get yourself lost. Do not get lost but stay in the pathway of life follow after Christ and accept his way,for his way is perfect and his way is life. Do not be high minded against the lord,the living God,but bow down to God even this day ,bow down to his sovereignty,to his mastery for He knows the way for you. Therefore when you will bow down,you will receive the life that Christ is.

I AM WEARY WITH GROANING.
Psa:61:1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

9: The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
10: Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly. pouring his heart with tears ,David was completely honest with God. WE can be honest with God even if we are filled with anger and despair because he knows us throughly and wants the very best of us. Anger and despair often result in rush outward acts or turning inwards which can lead to depression. Because we trust in our all powerful God we don't have to be victims of circumstances or be weighed down by this guilt of sin. Be honest with God and he will help you turn your attention from yourself to his wonderful presence. Lets God's sword come into you,to separate the precious from the vile,for God does not desire that his people would dwell in vileness,but God desires his people to dwell in the precious. Let God's sword come into you let it cut in you let the truth divide that which is precious and that which is vile. For God desires his beloved to be in the company of of the precious. He desires to purify you by fire. He desires
to bring you forth. Do not be ashamed of God's word, but lets God's word have its way in you. Let it bring forth what God desires in you. Yield yourself over to God, and let him prevail for he is the living God and there is none other like him,When you yield to Christ he brings forth the life that he desire.

NONE SHALL BE WEARY AMONG THEM

Isa 5:26-And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
27: None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
28: Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
29: Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.
30: And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof. This passage describes what God would do if the people disobey Him (Deut 28)Assyria begun to torment Israel during the reign of Ahaz (735-715 BC)This powerful aggressor destroyed the Northern Kingdom in 722BC and scattered the people through its own empire .Sin has consequences although they may not be immediately,They will come.
God desire that His people shall follow him,he desires that his people would follow his as their king,their maker and their God. Yet they follow every other Man,they follow every voice,They follow every influence and they do not follow the lord. what joy does god find in such a people?he does not, But when God's people will follow him,then they are joy to God. Seek to follow the Lord with all your Heart,seek to obey him for when you does follow the Lord he does delight in you. Seek to be a joy to god for when you are such people then does gods peace rest over you. And then does he bring forth as it pleases over him. Look not to the left nor to the right but look to Christ.

CAUSE THE WEARY TO REST
Isa 28:12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. Mt 11:28-Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29: Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30: For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. A yoke is a heavy wooden harness that fits onto one or more oxen. it is attached to a piece of equipment the oxen are pull. when an ox wears a yoke it means that the animal is going to have a long day of hard work .The “heavy yoke” Jesus mentioned here can mean
1.the burden of sin
2.the burden of the law (the excessive demands of the religious leaders,23:4,acts 15:10)
3.government oppression
4.weariness in the search for God
Jesus frees people from all these burdens .The rest Jesus promises is peace with God not the end of all effort (Jer 6:16,18:15,31:2)
When you will continually seek to be abandoned to Christ ,there is no end to what the living God shall do for you ,and through you and by you .for it gives God pleasure to show forth his glory and it gives Him pleasure when His people will seek to obey Him and be abandoned fully to him. there are many who profess that they are Gods people ,but they do not trust Him ,they do not believe that God is able to care for them .But they believe in their own way ,they believe in their own way ,they believe in their own education ,and their own abilities .in fact they believe in the god of self .But God desires a people who will believe in Christ as their Lord and savior .continually seek to be abandoned to God and not caring what he would ask of you but only knowing that God is able to care for you .for he makes the way for you unequivocally. he makes the way and it is the living God .when you are yielded fully to Christ ,does not the Lord your God
open doors to you that no man could open ?And do not God show you that He is well able to do things that no man may do for you ,for the living God .be fully abandoned to God seek to please Him .for it gives him pleasure when his people believe Him .Stop and consider what God says does not he even give to you living examples of those who trump around in the same circle year after year ?and they gain no ground because they do not believe God .but they believe in their own way but it is futile and they gain no new territory for they do not trust God .continue to look to Christ and continue to trust Him for He is able and there is none other like Him .when the need is before you and and you fall upon Jesus,he meets the need and when you need strength ,and you cry out to Him God gives you strength,and when you need light and you cry out to God he gives you light. There is no good thing that God will withhold from there who walk upright.

1Sa 32:2And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. the poor suffered because the rich oppressed them. But God is concerned for the poor and is a refuge for the. when we are disadvantaged or oppressed we we can turn to God for comfort and help.

1Sa 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. Isaiah describes Gods power to create,his provision and his presence to help .God is almighty and all powerful,but even so he cares for each of us personally .No person or thing can be compared to God (40:25) we describe God as best we can with our limited knowledge and language but we can we experience on earth what is your concept of God especially as revealed in his son,Jesus Christ ; Don't limit his work in your life by underestimating him(40:12-31)

THOU HAS BEEN WEARY FOR GOD
Isa:43:22-But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
23: Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.
24: Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities. A sacrifice required both giving up a salable animal and pleading with God for forgiveness but the people presented God with sin instead of sacrifices. Can you Can you imagine bringing the best of your sins to God's alter?This ironic picture shows the depth to which Israel had sunk. What do you present to God? Your sins or a plea for his forgiveness Sin separates the sinner from God. God however does not like to be presented from his people See the instituted the sacrificial system in which sins were symbolically transferred to animals and then destroyed. The people of Judah chose to ignore God's provision for sins and thus they were in danger of loosing his protection. Do you try to do it on your own or do you accept God's provision of forgiveness through Christs sacrifice?
When God's people who are called by his name continue in stubbornness and rebellious behavior they put their own self into a pit But when Gods people who are called by his name obey him then does his glory fully rest over them. Thank God that he is the triumphant God that there is none other like hi. Thank God that he gives his peace to you that he is the triumphant God that there is none other like him. Thank God that he gives his peace to you ,that his peace shall surpass men,that his peace shall surpass women,that his peace is infinite thank God that his peace is given and it comes.

THE IDOLS WERE A BURDEN TO THE WEARY BEASTS
Isa46:1-Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast.
2: They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
3: Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:
4: And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.Cyrus would carry out God's judgment against Babylonians. Nebo (Nabu) was the god of the royal family These gods however needed men to carry them around and could not even save themselves from falling from a chart. They had no power at all. In contrast to God's who helplessly fall off charts and must be hawed around by men ,Our God created us and cares for us through out our lifetime and even through death.
God does not desire his people dumb,as those who would worship idols are dumb in the sense that they do not perceive God does not desire his people as they are Dumb,as the worshipers of idols are dumb in the sense that they they do not perceive. But God's people may be made wise if they will but seek your counsel of Christ. Continually seek your counsel of Jesus Christ that he may give you his Wisdom and His instructions and that he may guide you .For God will lead you forth in a plain path who are too lazy to seek God,and they remain dumb as those who will bow down to idols. But God has for his people,for the lord is the God of light. Why should God's people be as the dumb?Why should they be as the blind they should not but they should be full of God's wisdom and full of his light. Thank God that these things ,he freely gives when you will bow down before him and seek him. Thank God that you are privileged to receive his
light. Do not seek to plan wisdom there is life.

A WORD IN SEASON TO HIM THAT IS WEARY
Isa50:4The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.The secret of a close relationship with God is to pray to him earnestly each morning. Regular communication is fundamental to any friendship and is certainly necessary for a strong relationship daily. Do you have a regular time to pray daily. Do you have a regular time to pray,and read God's word? (Psalms 5:1-3 Jeremiah 31:23-25)
Cannot the Lord your God give to you such such as you have needed of?Cannot the lord your God give you abundance in Jesus Christ there is no want for whenever God's people are needy and they cry out to him,he hears his people. Thank God that he does bring forth ,Thank God that he is full of abundance of his goodness .Do not pray according to lust but pray according to need,for the furtherance of Gods kingdom and the will hear you and there is no need that shall not be met. For indeed the Lord is the God of abundance and there is no end to Him Thank God that He does bring forth and bring forth,thank him that he is full of abundance of his goodness and it gives him pressure to pour out that goodness and that blessedness continually seek Christ and cry out to Him and he will lead you forth by a plain path. You shall know that it is his righteousness and his holiness and you shall know that he shall triumph. Thank God that he is the
lam and there is none other like him,Continue as steadfast people seeking God again and again. For indeed He opens his river and he pours out to those who hunger and thirst for Him.

I AM WEARY WITH HOLDING IN.
Jeremiah 6:11Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days. Who gets hurt when we turn away from God?WE do separating from God is like keeping a green plant away from sunlight or water or cutting it off its food supply .God is our only source of spiritual strength .Cut yourself from that source and you cut off life itself. (Job 32:18-19,Jer7:20,9:21,15:6)
Even this day be giving God thanks that he is the God of miracles in your behalf for the furtherance of his kingdom. Look to God for he is the miracle working God. Thank God that he is your maker and your king. Tank God that he is your king. Thank God that he is your Lord even this day Let the attitude of gratitude be within you,and murmur not nor complain,but give thanks and praise.


NOVEMBER-20
THE LORD IS WEARY WITH REPENTING.
Jer 15:6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.
The people of Judah were sinning very much and did not care. God brought charges against them through Isaiah because they had forgotten God and had broken their contract with Him.
(Deut 28)By breaking the contract they were bringing God's punishment upon themselves God gave them prosperity and they didn't see serve him. He sent them warning and they refused to listen. Now he would bring the fire of His judgment.
As long as the people of Judah continued to sin,they cut themselves off from God's help and isolated themselves. Has sin ever made you feel lonely and separated from God?Remember God does not abandon you -it is your sin that cuts you away from him. The only sure cure of this kind of loneliness is to restore a meaningful relationship with God by confessing your sin,obeying his instructions and communicating regularly with him (Psalms140:3,Isa 1:2-9,16-19,1st John 1:9)
Isaiah had a vision of what God wanted Him to communicate to the people because he was receptive to God's message he was mentally,morally and Spiritually tunned in to God. He was therefore guided by the holy spirit in such a way to convey God's actual thinking to the people. If we are really to listening to God we shall hear His message. He was mentally,Morally and spiritually turned into God. He was there fore guided by the holy spirit through his word,Other believers and the holy spirit.(Jer 6:11,7-16,24)
This is the time of God's conquering king,do not doubt Him but believe and you shall see Him conquer. For God shall move forward and you shall move with Him and you shall see Him conquer. Thank God that He is the triumphant God and there is none other like Him thank God you are privileged to serve Him and obey Him for indeed when you will obey then will you be His conquering force. For this sis the time of God's conquest. Rejoice that the lord our God shall move forward and His people shall follow. Those who are His,those who will walk in obedience,They shall follow. Be giving thanks and praise to God for He is the Abundant God and his ways are merciful. Do not doubt what God is able to Do. For when he shall open His river many shall be swept up into the same The Lord continues to desire those who will long for His move And he shall move on such a people and they For it gives God pleasure to move with his people He desires that His
people would be waiting for the full flow of His Spirit and thirsting for the same.


NOVEMBER-21
I WAS WEARY WITH FOREBEARING.
Jer 20:9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
Jeremiah cries out to God in despair he has faithfully proclaimed God's word and has received nothing in return but persecution and sorrow. Yet when He with held God's word it became fire in His bones until he could withhold no longer. When God's living word becomes fire you also will be compelled to to share it with others whatever the results (Jer 20:7-18)
Go dis merciful to those who will cry out for Him and when Men will turn from their wickedness and cry out to him shall he not deliver such Men?He shall for He is not a cruel God,but he is the God of mercy,And when people would cry out to Him ,Is He not able to deliver them and bring them fourth as it pleases Him. Day by day the Lord is the miracle working God. Many times God works in miracles and you realize not that they are the same for you do not know every circumstance. But when Go d says that He is capable of miracles,believe Him and do not Hold back your heart bot let it sour with Him and let it abide in Him for in deed,the lord is the god of miracle.

GOD HAS SATISFIED THE WEARY SOUL
Jer 31:25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
Does not God set free those who long to be free? And does God not lead forth those who will long to be led fourth?He does He is able to lift Men higher than carnality and He is able to lift them into realms for His spirit. Thank God that He the lord your God has lifted you and that He shall continue to lift you as you will look for him. Continue to pursue Christ daily continue to long for Him for He comes to those who long for Him .For He comes to those who desire for Him. Continue steadfast in prayers and supplication as He has appointed you and do not be weary and do not hearken to the accuser,but hearken to God and give thanks for when you pray to God he will hear you.
Does not the living God give you all that you have need for and does not God succor you and guide you forth clearly The lord does these things because He loves you. The gods of men what comfort do they give to a man?What light may they give to men?How may they guide men into the way?They cannot for all the God's of men are dead. Thank God that He the living God lives in the midst of you thank God that He leads you forth by a plain path and there is none other than Him.

LEST SHE WEARY ME
Luke18:4-And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5: Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
persistence in prayer overcomes our insensitiveness,not god's. it does more to change our hearts and minds it helps us understand and express the intensity of our needs. It is helpful to pray as if the answer depends on our prayers but then to trust that the answer depends on God. Persistence in our prayers helps us to recognize God's work when we see it.Luke11:8
This day look to Christ for he lives and rejoice in Him for he lives,He is the living God and there is none other like Him. Look not to the left nor to the right but look to Christ continually and find your rest,find your peace,find your joy and thank God that He lives and thank Him that you are privileged to partake of Him. In whatever the lord our God would ask of you He will give you the strength to continue and he shall give you the strength to overcome Look to God he gives you strength,believe in Him God does not ask anything of His people that he does not give strength to them. Look to God he for gives strength to you believe in God for He is the strength. trust in God and not in any other know that He the lord is your God,your maker,your source knows that He is your King.

BE NOT WEARY IN WELL DOING
Gal 6:9- And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10: As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. It is discouraging to continue to do right and receive no words of tanks or see no tangible results But when Paul challenged the Galatians and us to keep doing n whats right and to trust in God for the results In due time we will reap a harvest of blessings
Do not think its a strange thing when th enemy would would assault you ,but continue in the way refuse to accept the assaults where by they would cripple you to death. But continue in the way knowing that God is your maker, your keeper,your source and your God. Continually look to God not to circumstance nor situation but look to Christ ,Believe not the lier but believe God and trust Him and know that He is your source.

FAST ASLEEP FROM WEARINESS
Judges 4:18-And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
19: And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
20: Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
21: Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died. Sisera couldn't have been more pleased when Joel offered Him her tent as a hiding place. first because was the wife of Haber,a man loyal to Sisera's forces (4:11)She could certainly be trusted. Secondly men were never allowed to enter a woman's tent,no one would think to look for Sisera there.
Even though Heber was loyal to Sisera forces,jael certainly was not,since women of that day were responsible for pitching the tent. jael had no problem driving the tent peg into Sisera's head while He slept Deborah's prediction was thus fulfilled. She had said the honor of conquering Sisera would go to a woman.(4:9)
Cannot God speak to His people in a still small voice,can he not call His people forth as it pleases Him?Cannot God do with His own people as He finds His desire?When men put their shows and their proud demonstration God puts down on them. when God's men continue to seek him,he is able to speak to his people,he is able to direct them,he is able to guide them .many men are busy but they are busy about their work for they do not take time to seek God's wisdom and His instructions but they set out to establish their own kingdom then they say that God is their head. They are lairs and they deceive their own self,They establish religious works, but their religiosity is vain show God is not impressed by religion but impressed with these who will keep their hearts before Him. Continually seek to keep your heart before God, fore therein is your safety there in is your peace your joy,for when a man will keep his heart with Christ .God does not give
examples of those who will depart from Christ,for they do not keep their heart with diligence hen they become as fain as show and as proud as a display. such ones are mockery of God's truth,God does not desire mockers and scoffers,but he desires those that will be of true heart,keep your heart before God for He is the living God who searches the hearts of those who are God's people continually keep your heart before God. that he may keep you.
(Psalms 68:9-11,Deut11:1012)

11: The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
Deut11:10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
11: But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
12: A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
-THat which God gives to you,you cannot give the same. Do not withhold the precious substance that the living God do give to you for in the substance there is life for it comes of Him,That which God gives to you cannot you likewise give?Do not with hold from the hungry ,do not withhold from the perishing ,do not withhold from the dying,For he gives to you ,likewise give.

For whilst men will be lean and bare,they will come to Christ Thank God for what He brings on the Earth for his timing and does not despise situations nor circumstances that will cause men to bend down. But rather rejoice in the same and give thanks and praise to God. do not begrudge God's judgment for they are just and when they come about it is to bring Men to their knees,it is to Humble men down,to bring them out of their lefty and high places and to bring them to God's feet.

WEARY OF CRYING.
Psa69:3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.David wept until he was physically exhausted,with a dry throat and swollen eyes. He wept until he could weep no more yet he still trusted God to save Him. When devastated by death or tragedy we need not collapse or despair because we can turn to God and ask Him to save us and help us. The tears will still come but we will not be crying in vain.
Thank God that he the Lord your God will give to you all that you have need of and when you look to Him He meets you. Continually give god praise and thanks,continue in all intersessions and supplications as God would appoint you and continue as the Lord your God does direct you,And give God thanks for every move of his spirit. Do not be as those fool who wait as adimectic events wherein they will be taken out of the earth but rather be as the wise who give the living God over every move of his spirit. Do not look for the big things but look for Christ in small things that transpire daily. For when a man will continually look for the big He will despise the small Do not despise the days of small beginning Cherish the green shoots that come through the ground and realize the strength contained therein. Thank God for the move of His spirit praise Him he opens his river more,but when you murmur and complain against God,and always look for the
big things God turns away from you.

PEOPLE WEARY THEMSELVES FROM VANITY.
Habakkuk 2:9-Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
10: Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
11: For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12: Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
13: Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
Babylon riches comes from misfortunes of others and theses riches would turn to worthless ashes in her hands. The victims and their cities would cry out against Babylon. Money is not evil but God condemns the love of riches and all evil means of acquiring it.(1tim6:10)Be careful not to hunger for wealth so much that you lose your appetite for God. Do not allow the money to take the place of family,friends or God.
This is the hour that the Lord is separating the precious from the vile for we are living in times when there are many who walk in wickedness and they wait everyday to do wickedness and their hearts are exceedingly evil and God will separate His beloved from them and He will bring His beloved to His bosom. God will not have his precious corrupted by the vile but he shall bring forth those who desire him,He shall bring forth those hearts cry out for righteousness. But they shall raise up God's holy standards and they shall declare him as he is for indeed he is the triumphant God and there is none other like him And he shall reign in the midst of an obedient people Indeed this is the hour when God separates the precious and the vile and He brings fourth the precious and he issues judgment against the vile Thank God for What he is bringing forth for indeed he is bringing forth in his spirit people and he is ceiling for those who will obey

For they will call him master .For they will desire Him and they will be quickened to God's to God's spirit words and they will follow him no longer will they tromp around in the same box year after year,sealed in disobedience but they shall come forth and they will obey.

YOU HAVE WEARY GOD
Malachi 2:17Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
,3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
God was tired of the way the people twisted his truth. He would punish those who insisted that ,because God was silent He approved of their actions. He would also punish those who casually professed a counterfeit faith. The apostle peter warns us to guard guard against these same false attitudes by becoming better acquainted with Jesus Christ
IN whatever way that a man will offer himself to God ,Take the offering for men will come in many forms and many ways In whatever way they may present themselves to offer themselves to God accept the offering for whatsoever a man shall bring to God he desires it to be accepted When a man's heart is right towards God, God will accept his offering .Many men will offer only their finances but there are others who will offer themselves take the offering for God desires those who will offer themselves totally over to Him .to desire those who will abandon themselves to his will There are some that God has called and they have missed the calling for they have stopped and and they have decided not to follow Christ because of their own distress or because of their own fear when they decide not to follow Christ they are men most miserable ,when men are called of Christ,let them follow him and let them come after him and follow him For truly when men
shall follow Christ with all of their hearts,they receive the reward of righteousness.

WEARY IN THE MUTITUDE OF COUNSELS
Isa47:12- Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
13: Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
14: Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
15: Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
the people of Babylon sort advice and help from astrologers,stargazers and childhood friends. But like the idols of wood or gold they could not even deliver themselves. Why rely on those who are powerless. The helpless cannot help us if you want Help find it from God who has proved his power in creation and History.
God has not called us to be men pleaser's ,but he has called us to please Him Take the cross and follow him for that is what he has purposed for you to do. When we seek to please other men we will not please God for you cannot have two masters for we must bow to God and God alone for He is our sovereign and our God,do not seek to please men but seek to please the lord. When you will please the lord then you shall he put men at peace by the pleasing of Men. you will bring upon yourself disaster.

WEARY IN GREATNESS OF YOUR WAYS
Isa 57:10 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
,Jer 2:23- How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
24: A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
25: Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.
26: As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,
27: Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.
The people are compared to animals who search for mates in mating season,unrestrained they rush for power,money alliances with foreign power and other God's. The idols did not seek people the people sort idols. And they run wildly after them. They run became so comfortable with their sin that they could not think of giving up. Their only shame was in gathering caught ,if we desire something something so bad that we do anything to get it this means we are out of tune with God.
God desires those who will carry the cross continually,thank him that he the lord your God gives you the cross to bear and that you are privileged to be his disciple for there are many fraudulent in this generation they will take up the cross nor will they follow .They are fraud and lairs and they lie even to their own selves for they have not allowed God to search their hearts and when they stand before God they shall be destitute and empty. And they shall the same for He is the lord God who multiplies you. But when a man keeps his life for himself it will only be multiplied for destruction. But when a man will give his life over to Jesus Christ it is multiplied and multiplied and multiplied for life .The lord has called you to be separated from them and come into Christ and walk his way.
There are some fools that God will chastise and they will be made wise. There are other fools who will resist the chastisement and they will be intensified in their foolery.
When you would feel God's chastisement over you, thank God for it for he will drive the fool out of you and he will give you wisdom. Rejoice that you are privileged to receive wisdom that will give you life. Do not sow to the flesh for of the flesh you shall reap corruption but sow to the spirit there is life eternal. Continue as steadfast people in the labors God puts before you. Do not have regrets but rather have have joy for that which for joy that which is given to Christ,is not He able to multiply that which is given to you.

IF FOOTMEN HAVE WEARIED YOU.
Jer 12:5-If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
6: For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.
life was extremely difficult for Jeremiah despite his love and obedience to god. when he called god for reply his response was”if you think this is bad,how are you going to cope when it gets really tough”
Not all of God's answers to prayers are nice or easy to cope with. Any Christian who has experienced war or grief or serious illness knows this But we are to be committed to God even when the going gets tough and when his answers to our prayers don't bring immediate relief.
you may trust God and know that the way that He leads you is the way that you need to take for God leads you forth to bring you into life .It gives god pleasure when his people would gain his life. Do not doubt god even in your present circumstance but believe Him and release yourself to Christ and trust him and know that the lord your God is able to able to take you through .God takes us on the spiritually journey and he takes us into his life and He gives to us what we have need of,God does not want us bogged down in religiosity but he wants us brought forth in the fullness of his spirit .Therefore God would that He takes us the way we need be taken. Rejoice for God's leading you for He leads you in a plain path. Do not be as those who are quick to accuse and do not be as those who are quick to accuse and do not be as those who will backbite and devour but be as those who will backbite and devour but be as those who will
under grid and uplift. For truly God has not called us to devour but but he has called to walk uprightly. And he has called us to encourage one another for the world will not love us. Do not look at the world that seek to divide us and separate us from that which brings life to us. Thank God that he is the way and when He takes forth it is that you may bring forth the abundance and the goodness.

SHE HAS WEARIED HERSELF WITH LIES
Ezek 24:12: She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.
,The city of Jerusalem was like a pot that was so encrusted with the in the hottest fire. God wanted to cleanse the lives of those who lived in Jerusalem he tries to purify our lives through difficulty and troublesome circumstances. When you face tough times,allow the sin to be burned from your life. Look at your problems as an opportunity for your faith to grow. Above all do not allow sin to so dominate your life that God's judgment must fall(Ezek 24:6-13,1Cor11L:29-30)
In everything be giving thanks for God is abundant in mercies towards you and in times of great cruelty you shall see and you shall know God's mercies for indeed they are abundant. Thank God that he is the compassionate God. The gods of men are cruel and even those of who suppose themselves to be full of compassion,when their source is withdrawn they are full of cruelty. When their source is is with drawn they are full of cruelty. Do not trust the false compassion of men,nor the compassion of their system for the same shall become exceeding cruel when the time arises. Thank God that he has given you the clear light to walk by that you may gain the strength that you have need of,that you may follow hard after Him. Continually subject yourself to Christ for when you are subjected to Christ he lives and that you are privileged to in that life. Do not take God's life as as a light thing but rather cherish it and give it
freely we have received likewise freely And do not be as those who will seek Christ in meekness and humility and filled,and those who will eat the good of the land because they obey. Thank God this night that his word is truth that his word does come to you ,that his word does strengthen you eat from God's word that you may live.

WHEREIN HAS GOD WEARIED YOU
Mic 6:3: O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me. the people would never be able to answer this question because god has done nothing wrong. in fact,he has been exceedingly patient with them and had given them every opportunity to return to him. If God asked you this question how would you reply?
Thank God for what he the Lord your God does for you for when you continue in obedience,there is no good thing that he withholds from you. When God would put pressure upon you and you make the surrender that he desires of you,He is not a mean God but He is tender and the pressure is that you would come forth in image and likeness that he has desired in you Do not despise God's working in you but rather rejoice in the same for He gives you His life. Thank God that he is the omnipresent God that he is full of glory and the power ,He is the never ending love. Truly he is the lam .Thank God that He is your maker and truly he is the glory and the power .Truly he is your source and your king. Thank God that you are privileged to bow to Him Even this day rejoice rejoice for God's tender mercies and rejoice for His goodness. Thank God that the lord your God does Give you all that you have need of .Pay not heed to the wicked one but pay heed to
Jesus Christ for truly He shall lead you forth by a plain Path and he shall pour out His abundance upon you. Thank God that the lord your God does give you all that you have need of in every circumstance in every situation continually give thanks to the lord for God is full of tender mercies to those who will appreciate Him,and to those who will give the gratitudes to him.

DECEMBER-5
LEST YOU BE WEARY AND FAINT.
HEB12:3 : For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. when we face hardship and discouragement ,it is possible to lose sight of the big picture but we are not alone there is help. Many here already made it through life enduring for more difficult situations suffering is the training ground for Christian maturity. It develops our patience and makes our final decision sweet.
When you will see those enclosed in sorrow know that they have chosen their own ways and that their ways are death. When you would look upon them in all their sorrows know that they have chosen those ways and those ways are death. Do not choose the way of death chose the way of life. Chose Christ,Chose his way,when you see those who are continually encompassed in sorrow,Thank God today that His word is life and his word is given to you today that you may live. Thank God today that He is the living God and there is none other like him. Thank god that He shall lead you forth and give the flourished hereby.

THE LABOUR OF THE FOOLISH WEARETH EVERYONE.
Ecc10:14,A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
15: The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
THere are many vile and many wicked in this generation but they have set themselves up and they are of God's household but they are liars and deceivers when those who claim they are God's people will yield themselves to abominable practices they are not his for they have turned aside and they have followed wickedness do not even look upon them for they are so vile,God deserves us separated when god is differentiating between the precious and the vile .The vile God will turn over to greater vileness and the precious He shall bring to his bosoms .And He shall reveal to them the mystery of His kingdom,
When you would look upon the Vile turn away your eyes for they are filthy,their vileness shall increase for God has formed them over and shall go down and down Whilst they name God's name they are of vile ,filthy spirits they are not of God 's kingdom at all. There are many in this generation who claim Christ's name but they are of the kingdom of destruction,God shall send his holy sword and he shall cut them asunder and he shall delegate the vile to greater vileness and he will delegate the precious to the miseries of His kingdom. Thank God that He has called you to himself those who truly desire to worship God and love him they shall come into the precious.

DECEMBER-7
WEARY BECAUSE OF MURDERERS
Jer 4:31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
,13:21What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them to be captains, and as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?
,Lam1:17Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them. Thank God the lord your God for He will lift up the holy standards and those whose hearts long for him,will know his voice and another they will not follow. And those who shall sow in God's spirit shall reap the life,those who sow of the fresh will reap corruption. Thank God that he is the life Look for he the son of God shall lead you forth and he shall give you such as you have wished for. continue as a stead fast people declaring Christ as He is. Do not fret yourselves over those who are of weak temperament,who desire wickedness,let them have their evil and be righteousness Do not seek keep company with filthy seekers least their filth comes upon you as a sactified and a holy person.

DECEMBER-8
YOU HAVE WEARIED THE LORD WITH YOUR WORDS.
MAL2:17-Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
3: 1: Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to this temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
2: But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
3: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
4: Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
5: And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
6: For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
God was tired of the way people twisted their truths. He would punish those who insisted that,because God was silent He approved of their actions. He would also punish those who proved a counterfeit against these same false attitudes by becoming better acquitted with Jesus Christ (2pt3:15-18)-Isa5:19,43:22-24, Jer 17:15
Do not mock God's words ,Do not mock God's spirit, for there are many mocking spirits gone out into the world. and many are consumed of those spirits and while they declare that they are God's people,They cannot stop mockery they allow to come thr5ough their lips. Do not yield yourself to wickedness not in any degree but seek to remain in the company of the upright and seek to walk in God's standards at all times and thank God that the lord his God has called you for your own purpose and he continues to cleanse you and to sanctify you. Thank God that he leads you forth in a plain path.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) :

standard

Standards are necessary for interworking,
portability, and reusability. They may be de facto
standards for various communities, or officially recognised
national or international standards.

Andrew Tanenbaum, in his Computer Networks book, once said,
"The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of
them to choose from", a reference to the fact that competing
standards become a source of confusion, division,
obsolescence, and duplication of effort instead of an
enhancement to the usefulness of products.

Some bodies concerned in one way or another with computing
IAB+({RFC">standards are IAB ({RFC and STD), ISO, ANSI, DoD,
ECMA, IEEE, IETF, OSF, W3C.

(1999-07-06)




From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :

STANDARD, measure. A weight or measure of certain dimensions, to which all
other weights and measures must correspond; as, a standard bushel. Also the
quality of certain metals, to which all others of the same kind ought to be
made to conform; as, standard gold, standard silver. Vide Dollar; Eagle;
Money.




From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :

STANDARD, in war. An ensign or flag used in war.

Do not settle for degradation,not at all,not in any stance. But seek for the power perseverance,excellence seek for victory and immovable power of Jesus Christ. for that is what he desires of you. And the ones who shall allow themselves to be pressed into excellence shall be well pleasing to God and they shall receive the reward of the righteousness. Rejoice even this day ,that it is the living God who gives you the standards and
gives you the ability to meet the standard. Thank God that it is Him the living God who is your all in all.

GOD WILL SET UP HIS STADARD TO THE PEOPLE.
Isa 49:22Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. (11:10And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
,12And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
,14:2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
) AS you yield yourself over to Christ,the living God yields himself to you. That which you are open up to receive of God,so does he come to you. But God's people often reject Him,they refuse Him they will not release themselves to God so God turns away. But it is not God's desire a people who will trust Him and who will abandon themselves to Him. Therefore seek for that abandonment will you will to God?For hes is the living God the true one God,the God who reigns supreme.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

Curse
denounced by God against the serpent (Gen. 3:14), and against
Cain (4:11). These divine maledictions carried their effect with
them. Prophetical curses were sometimes pronounced by holy men
(Gen. 9:25; 49:7; Deut. 27:15; Josh. 6:26). Such curses are not
the consequence of passion or revenge, they are predictions.

No one on pain of death shall curse father or mother (Ex.
21:17), nor the prince of his people (22:28), nor the deaf (Lev.
19:14). Cursing God or blaspheming was punishable by death (Lev.
24:10-16). The words "curse God and die" (R.V., "renounce God
and die"), used by Job's wife (Job 2:9), have been variously
interpreted. Perhaps they simply mean that as nothing but death
was expected, God would by this cursing at once interpose and
destroy Job, and so put an end to his sufferings.



From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) :

CURSE, v.t. Energetically to belabor with a verbal slap-stick. This
is an operation which in literature, particularly in the drama, is
commonly fatal to the victim. Nevertheless, the liability to a
cursing is a risk that cuts but a small figure in fixing the rates of
life insurance.

WHY NOAH CURSED HAM'S DESCENDANTS
Gen9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. This verse has been used by many to support racial prejudice and even slavery. Noah's curse wasn't directed towards any particular race of people but rather concentrate nation,(a nation that God know would become wicked and evil).The curse was fulfilled when the Israelites entered the promised Land and drove the Canaanites out (see the book of Joshua)
That which God provides is sufficient. That which God provides this day is blessed. But when men will scuff God's provision set out to establish their own way. they bring a curse. There are many who have brought a curse to themselves,a curse to their lives because they have thought they know better than God knows. and they thought they could do better than God does but they are blinded fools for the way that the living God provides is the way of life Walk in God's provision for God's provision is life. and give him thanks and give him praise. Thank God that this is the day He has prepared ,praise him.

WHAT IS GOD'S CURSE?
Dt11:26Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
What is God's curse?It is not a magician spell. Instead it refers to the conditions of the treaty between God and the Israelites. Both parties had agreed to the terms. The blessings were to benefit Israel if they kept their party of treaty they would receive the promised land ,live there forever Have fruitful crops and expel their enemies .the curse was the warning of the consequences to Israel if the treaty was broken punishment,discipline and judgment. Joshua later removed these curses with the entire Nation (Joshua 8:34And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
,deut 30:1And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
,15See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
,19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live)
We live in a time when not many men and women receive God's glory For Men will not return the glory to God but they steal it,they hog it. they put it to their bosoms and say it is them that have done thus and such. But because God is a jealousy God,He turns away from such ones. And they receive no more of His glory. But if a man would be faithful and true to give thanks and praise to God,if they would return the glory to God, so should God's glory rest in the midst of them. Do not keep the glory to yourself but rather let the living God receive the praise. Receive glory and God's glory shall rest in the midst of you. This day thank God that He is the glorious God ,there is none like Him,Thank God that you are privileged to be His ,Thank God that you are privileged to go forth in the power,to go forth in the glory that is his name. This day thank God return the glory to Him.

CHILDLESSNESS SEEN AS A CURSE.
Lk 1:25Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
Zacharia and Elizabeth were both faithful people,and yet they were suffering. Some Jews at the time did not believe in body resurrection so their hope of immortality was their children,in addition children cared for their parents in old age and they added to their families wealth and social status. Children were considered a blessing and childlessness was considered as a curse. Zacharia and Elizabeth had been childless for many years,and now they were too old to expect any change in their situation. But God was waiting for the right time to bless them and take away their disgrace Gen30:23And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:

God's grace is sufficient for us ,therefore rejoice that God is the merciful,He is the abundant. And what the living God provides for you is sufficient therefore don't look to eternal but look to Jesus Christ for He is the eternal,and his mercies He will give you. Many men of they earth they had received God's purpose bet along the way they turned aside. They did not internally turn aside to sin,but they were Higher minded and they thought they knew a better way and because of that higher mindedness they have fallen from God's mercy they have fallen from God's grace. and whatsoever that the living God does take you,He is there to comfort you. This night draw of the comforts who God is,for there is no man,neither any woman upon the earth that may comfort you. Therefore draw the comfort of who God is,for His comforts He gives to you.

WHY DID JESUS CURSE THE FIG TREE?
Mt 21:19: And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
,why did Jesus curse the fig tree?This was not a thoughtless angry act,but an acted out parable. Jesus was showing His anger at religion without substance. Just as the fig tree looked fro the distance but was fruitless at a close examination,so the temple looked impressive at first glance,but its sacrifice and other activities were hollow because they were not done to worship God sincerely. If you only appear to have faith without putting it to work in your life,you are like the fig tree that withered and died,because it bore no fruits. Genuine faith means bearing fruits for God's kingdom
Cannot the living God do with you as it pleases Him,for have you not given yourself over to Christ that He could shape you and form you and bring you forth to be well pleasing to him. for indeed you have not made yourself neither formed nor chosen yourself but Christ has chosen you. Therefore stay yielded to his hand do not look on the appearance as men would look ,but look in the inward working of the heart,for what the living God desires in Men is that they will be yielded over to Him. Rejoice that the living God makes you and molds you well pleasing to Him. for it is not by outward holiness but by the inward depth of commitment that God judges Therefore continue as a steadfast people and let the living God make you mold you. Let him use you as it pleases Him Rejoice this day for the privilege to be God's people,For the privilege to be in God's hands for the privilege to be made well pleasing with God.

GOD SETS BEFORE YOU BLESSINGS AND CURSE.
DEUT 11:26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
iT IS AMAZING THAT God offered before the Israelites a choice between blessing and curs,it is even more amazing that most of them chose curses through their disobedience,we have the same fundamental choice today we can live for ourselves or live in union with God to chose our own way is to travel on deed and nod,but to chose God is to receive eternal life, (Jn 5:24Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
)Deut30:1,15:19
Thank God that His way is perfect,thank Him that the way he takes you is the way you need to be taken. Endure the pain suffer the shame and go forth,forth in God's glory and go forth in His fullness,and this day thank the lord that He is your God. Thank God that you are privileged to labor for His kingdom. Do not dwell upon yourself but dwell upon Christ for He takes you forth as it pleases Him. and he gives to you such as you have need of.

GOD TURNED CURSE INTO BLESSING.
Deut 23:5 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.
Cannot you receive every ounce of pain that God would send to you. That you would crawl into Jesus Christ that you would find Him ,that you would find your life in Him?When the living God would send pain to you it is not that He despises you,not that he desires to destroy you but the pain is sent that you may cry out to Him. and that you may receive your comfort from God,for in everything concerning God's people Christ desires to perfect His people. God desires to perfect his people. God desires that his people would be purified. Do not despise God's hand upon you and but give thanks and give praise for everything that pertains to you the living God knows what He does bring forth. Thank God that he is your maker and your source ,your king and your God. Truly beloved thank God that He is your maker and your source,Your king and your God. God has them in his heart,Thank God that that he is in all things that pertain to you Go
d has them in His hand do not doubt God but believe Him and know that He is able. bow down over God's misery to you and know that He is able Again open up the doors that the lord has for you but do not doubt you cause yourself to be prison house. Do not doubt but believe and know that he shall bring you forth by a plain path.

YOU ARE CURSED WITH A CURSE
Mal 3:6-For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
7: Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
8: Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
9: Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
10: Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11: And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
12: And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
Malachi urged the people to stop holding back their tithes to stop keeping from God what He deserved the tithing system begun in the time of Moses Lev27:30-34,Deut 14:22.The Levites received some of the tithes because they could not posses land of their own During Malachi's day the tithes were not being used to support God's workers,so the levites went to work to earn a living .Everything we have is from god so when you refuse to t6urn to him a part of what he has given we rob Him,Do you want to selfishly keep away the 100% that you have been given? or do you want to return the 1 part of the advancing God's kingdom.
The people of Malachi's day ignored God's commandments to give a tithe of their income to his temple. They may have feared loosing what they had worked so hard to get. But in this day they misjudged God. If you give you will get .He says.(lk6:38)When we give we must know the blessing God gives are not material and may not be experienced completely here on earth but we will certainly receive them in our future life with Him,(Malachi3:6-12)
There are many distresses found among the earth,but God shall guide his people through those things that his people shall look to him. when you look to Jesus Christ he shall guide you through the distress that are found upon the earth,but God shall guide His people through those things that His people shall look to Him,Know that God is well able to keep you in His heavenly kingdom. Know that God is well able to guide you through the distresses. Do not be distressed with the distresses of man,but be uplifted with the Joys of God's kingdom. Partake of God's now and partake of who He is. For God is the infinite and his resources does not end. Do not look to men but look to Jesus Christ for truly he provides for you ,and what he provides for you is sufficient for he is the source and when you give the thanks and the praise the source only increases. Wicked men with wicked devices have corrupted many but the pure heart,the true of heart will
follow God and they will come from among the vile, the true of a heart will follow God and they shall come out from among the vile. and they shall come into Christ. For it is those who are pure in heart who will hear God's voice and they will come after. Another will not follow,thank God that he has brought you out of them, and he has brought you to Himself. Thank God that His mercy to you remains
and that you are privileged to live in him,thank God that He is the Lam and there is none another like Him .Thank God that He has brought you out of them .Thank God that He is your maker. That he alone shall prevail ,and thank Him for the power that is found in Him. Thank Go that He the lord your God does lead you forth by a plain path.

UNDER THE CURSE OF THE WORKS OF LAW.
Gal3:10For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Paul quotes deut 27:26Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
to prove contrary to what the judaizers claimed the law cannot justify and save it but can only condemn. Breaking even one commandment brings a person under condemnation because everyone has broken the commandments everyone is condemned and the law can do nothing to reverse the condemnation. (Rom3:20,24)But Christ took the curse of the law upon himself when He hang on the cross (3:13) He did this so we wouldn't have to be saved through Him. The only condition is we accept Christ work on the cross. (Col1:20-23)
This day rejoice and be exceedingly glad that you are privileged to be in the company of those whose who are amongst the precious for the living God is separating in this generation and he is bringing forth His precious,God shall leave the vile to their vileness and He shall leave the wicked to their wickedness and the corrupt to their corruptness. and he shall bring forth remnant and they shall be his holy peopleTHank God for what the Lord your God does in the midst of you,Thank God that you are counted worth to be in the company of redeemed.

DECEMBER-23
AND SHALL BRING A CURSE AND NOT A BLESSING.
Gen 27:11-And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
12: My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
13: And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
jacob hesitated when he heard Rebbecca's Deceitiful plan,although he questioned his mothers plan for wrong reasons (fear of getting caught)He protested and thus gave Rebbecca one last chance to consider her decision But Rebbecca had become so wrapped up in her plan that she could not see clearly what she was doing ,sin had wrapped her and she was now degrading her character. Correcting yourself in the middle of doing wrong can cause hurt and disappointment,but it also brings freedom from the control of sin.
How we react to dilemma often exposes our real motives. Frequently we are worried about being caught than doing what is right Jacob did not seem dece45iptiful about the doings of His mother's plan. Instead He was worried about being caught,you may already be in a situation that is less that Honest.
God is sick of the rebellious of the stubborn and the hard headed of the stubborn and the hard headed and he will leave them to their own prison houses. But He will lead forth a people who will bend the knee and bow down before God and not pride yourself on being stubborn but willing for there is Joy in willingness and the lord your God shall transform you.

DECEMBER-24
THE BITTER WATER THAT CAUSES THE CURSE
Num 5:17And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:
18: And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:
,,22And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
,24And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter.
This test for adultery to remove a jealous husband's suspicion. Trust between husbands and wives had to be completely evaded for a man to bring His wife to the priest for this type of test. Today priest and pastors help restore marriages, by counsellings spouses who have lost faith with each other. whether justified or not suspicion must still be removed for a marriage to survive and look at how the enemy has sort to destroy that which is precious and look at how the enemy has sort to destroy that which is precious and look at how he has made a mock as those who are selective in the sense that they do not want practitioners The power that is in those who will come together for Christ. He knows there is greater power to be found therein and that is from bonding together for Christ. Likewise he scoffed and mocked those who would shun worldliness then will God clothe them with holiness for God desires a holy
people,He desires a righteous people what pleasure do it give God when His people when His people would yield themselves to Egypt and follow after Sodom and copy the practices of the Heathen and imitate them. It gives God no joy at all but it is a disgust to God. For when God took his people forth and brought them into the land that He had prepared for them,he cautioned them about taking on the attributes of the Heathen round about yet in this generation the enemy has put God's people so deceived that they imagine they do God a favour when they look and act ,and talk and dress like heathen. And when they of abominable things as the heathen ,they think they do God A favour ,they do God no favour at all but they are disgust to God for he desires his people separated He desires them concentrated to Him ,He desires to pour His holiness and righteousness upon His people God does not desire His people so intermingled with the
heathen that they are difficult to fall apart for they have no testimony and they have no standards.
God does not find pleasure in such a people as that. Consider that it is the wicked one who builds up the lies to keep God's people from stunning worldliness. It is the work of the wicked one it is not God's spirit at all. For God's spirit will lead God's people into him and his spirit will cause his people to be separated from the world. That is the work of God's spirit.

YOU SHALL NOT CURSE THE DEAF.
Lev 19:14Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.
,Deut 27:18Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen.
THere are those who say you must be as they are in order to win them,but that is another lie for why wretchedness and why should you be in their sorrow you should not you should proclaim Christ and lift Him up for when he is declared then are men drawn up to Him. It never says in God's word when men will wallow in sins of others that men are redeemed,but it says when they are drawn to Christ .Continue to lift Christ up and proclaim him up for he is that men may be drawn to Him. Declare God's truth and righteousness. When you are willing to lay your life down you will earn great treasure in Christ for He is the abundant God that there is no end to him and do not bulk and grow stubborn along the way but release yourself for God has great treasure for you and as you shall yield yourself over to Him and obey,God will release that treasure to you and you shall rejoice.

HOW SHALL I CURSE WHOM GOD HAS NOT?
Num 23:7- And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
8: How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?
9: For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
10: Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
Baclem was a sorcerer one called upon to p;ace curses on others believe in curses and blessings was common in Old Testament times Sorcerers were thought to have powers with gods. Thus the king of Moab wanted Baclem to use his power with the God of Israel to place a curse on Israel hoping that by magic Jehovah would turn against his people. Neither Baclem and nor Balek had idea whom they were dealing with (Gen10:22,13:16,22:17,20:14)
Thank God that He is endless and that He is your God and your maker and your source .Continue as a steadfast people over Giving praise and thanks for when you thank God and when you praise God out of sincerity God will bless what He has given tot you,and it is multiplied.
In the prophesies of Baclem,God testified on behalf of His people rather than (as usual )to them. It is the divine testimony to their standing as a redeemed people in view of serpent “lifted up” and of the water from smitten rock (num21:5-9,20:11)Their state was morally bad,but this was the matter concerning the disciple of God not His judgment as Israel ,typical as to Christians. Through Christ “Lifted up”(John 3:14 our standing is externally secure and perfect though our state may require the fathers discipline.(1st cor 11:30-32,,2nd Cor 1:4-9,10-13)meantime against all enemies God is “for us” (Rom 8:31)

CURSE You MEROZ,CURSE YOU BITTERY
judges 5:23Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.
Meroz was probably a city near the scene of the great battle between Canaanites an Israelites It must have been on Israelites city,because it was cursed for not sending help against sisere's forces.
Do not let yourself be crushed by any circumstance but let your spirit be uplifted ,Find your joy and your peace and your pleasure in Christ. Follow Christ with all your heart thank God That he is the lam that you are privileged to serve him. Follow Christ with all your heart and the Lord our God will give you peace and rest.

Follow Christ with all your heart and the Lord your God shall give you peace and rest. And God shall succor you and and he shall comfort you .Thank God that you are privileged to be in Him for He is the living God who shall give joy and his peace and His rest to his people. Even this day as you praise the lord for all things and give him thanks you will see His mercies that he gives you .Continue to give God praise through out the day that you may see His mercies abound towards you.

CURSE GOD AND DIE
job 2:9Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
Why was Job's wife spared when the rest of His family was killed?It is possible that Her suffering caused her even more suffering because of her chiding or due to her own sorrow over all they had lost.
In any circumstance do not be in despair but be in Joy far truly when you will think upon Jesus He shall give you Joy. Think upon Christ is not life to you. Do not be in despair but be in joy for Christ leads you forth by a plain path. Thank God that he is the Lam and there is none like Him thank God that He is your King and your source. Thank God that His truth shall triumph when yo u will adhere to Christ ,you adhere to life. Continually seek to adhere to Christ that you may live.

THEY BLESS BUT THEY CURSE INWARDLY.
Ps62:3- How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4: They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5: My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6: He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
Prayer can release our tension in times of emotional stress. Trusting God to be our rock rescuer,defense and fortress.(62:2) changes our entire outlook on life. No longer are we held captive by hurtful treatment from fiends or relatives but are released to follow on unchanging God,our rock and fortress.
Hold steadfast to the promises that God gives you ,for when God would speak to you and promise thus and such the living God does not lie. Therefore hold steadfast and do not let the enemy rob you. Do not let Him steal from you the promises that God gives to you. Do not let Him steal from you at all but hold steadfast for when yo will hold on you shall see his promises fulfilled. Consider Abraham who held to the promise,consider the fast of faith,but nonetheless he held and He saw the promise fulfilled. Likewise it is when you desire to see Christ fulfilled in you you hold to the promises that God gives you. Do not be as those who are with God one day and departed the next but be as a steadfast person for God desires a people who are faithful to him. He desires a people who will stand the testing and go through the trying ,and come forth as gold. What pleasure does God find in the unstable,in the double minded,in those who are continually
waving?set your face as flirt an determine within yourself,be bowing to God's lordship. This day do not be overwhelmed by any circumstance ,thank God that there is none other like Him Thank God that you are privileged to go forth in a plain path.
Thank God that He the lord your God does open up to you all that you have need for. And that you shall receive the blessedness and receive the goodness. Thank God that He the lord your God is your source and your king. Continue steadfastly to labor as God has appointed you. and if you grow weary look to Jesus Christ for your strength and he shall strengthen you.
Thank God that he is the perfection of His beauty within you. for God is able to bring it forth. God desires a true people who will reflect His glory,not only with their lips but in their actions .Do not seek to please men for all men are but vain show but seek to please God for he is the living God. His covering. Thank God that He is your maker and your source.

BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU.
Mt 5:43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
,By calling us to non relation Jesus keeps us from taking the law in our own hands. By loving and praying for our enemies rather than retreating we can overcome evil with good.
The pharisees interpreted Lev 19:18 as teaching the should love only those who love in return,and psalms139:19-22 and 140:9-11 as meaning that they should hate their enemies. But Jesus says we are love to our enemies and treat them well ,you will truly show that Jesus is the lord of your life. This is possible only for those who give themselves fully to God because only he can deliver people from natural selfishness. We must trust the Holy spirit to help us love those whom we may not feel love.(Lk 6:28,Rm12:14)
Thank God that He the lord your God has pulled you out of sepulchers to the life. Thank God that you are not buried down under the systems of man but you are free to follow Christ. and free to obey God and free to walk under His commands. thank God that he gives you the privilege to go forth in newness of life. that he has prepared. Do not despise the way that God gives you but be giving thanks. Thank God again that he has given you in the spirit They will expand themselves all day long and up through the night then consider the cause that God has given you within the cause of life. Yet they will expand themselves all day long and up through the night .Then consider the cause that God has given you it is the cause of life. Rejoice that the lord your God gives you the cause you are worth fighting for. The cause that is worth dying for. The cause that is worth expanding yourself for. Thank God that the lord your God does give you the life,and
that he is the life.

PETER BEGUN TO CURSE AND SWEAR
Mt 26:72-And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
73: And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
74: Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
that PETER DENIED HRIST WITH AN OATH AND WITH CURSING and swearing does not mean He used foal language. This is the kind of swearing one does in a court of law. Peter was swearing he did not know Jesus and was in working a curse on himself if His words were untrue. In effect he was saying “may God strike me dead if I am lying”(Mk14:71)
Blessed is the man who will yield to God's calling. Blessedness is the woman who yields herself to God's calling. But when God will find find a vessel who is yielded over to him. Who will accept the calling and go with the choosing,for those whom God chooses. He covers them in his mercies and he covers them in his goodness seek to yield yourself to the calling for so does God's goodness rest over you. so does God's mercy come over you. Thank God that He has called you take the calling not as a light matter. but concentrate yourself continually over to Christ for those who are called and those who yield to the call,they are God's chosen.

THE FIG TREE THAT JESUS CURSED.
Mk 11:11-And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
12: And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13: And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14: And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
15: And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16: And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17: And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
18: And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
19: And when even was come, he went out of the city.
20: And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21: And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22: And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23: For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24: Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
There are two parts of this usual incident,the cursing of the Fig tree and cleansing of the temple. The cursing of the tree was an acted out arable related to the cleansing of the temple. The temple was supposed to be a place of worship,but true worship had disappeared. The fig tree showed promise of fruits but it produced none. Jesus was showing His anger at religious life without substance. If you go through the motions of faith without putting it to work in your life.
there are many who are not well pleasing to God,for they do not follow him, but they stagnate in a religious mold and though once started out to know Christ ,they do not continue. And such ones are not an excitement nor joy to God for they are not abiding in Christ. Do not be among the dull and the dumb who refuse to grow. And surely you shall eat those treasures that god has for you and you shall love every faithful ministry For the ministry is not What is given to men but what is given to God. But first you pursue him and obey Him. Many men put the cart before the horse for they think they must have their great ministry. But they do not become acquainted with Jesus Christ n at all and they do not learn to know God's voice.

PEOPLE WHO KNOW NOT THE LAW ARE CURSED
jn7:46-The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
47: Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
48: Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49: But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
50: Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
the Jewish leader saw themselves as an elite group who alone had the truth and they resisted the truth about Christ because it wasn't there to begin with. It is early to think we have the truth about everything and those who disagree with us do not Have any at all .But God's truth is available to everyone .Don't repeat the Pharisees self centered and Cultish attitude.
For the only ministry they have is a show to be seen of men but they are not sent forth by God's spirit therefore they labor in vain but They are not sent forth by God's spirit. Therefore they labor in vain but when God would send you forth by the command of his spirit,then is the fruit born and then is brought forth. Continually wait upon the lord and hearken to His commands for when God finds a people who are diligent to wait upon him, and seek his face then does he hover over them,and then does he abide in the midst of them. There are not many upon this earth in this generation who will stop and wait for the lord. But when they will wait for him,he shall come to you and lead you to a pathway of life. Thank God this night that Christ is your light giver and he is your light bringer and that he remains. Even today let your testimony be of those things for which you are thankful for and have gratitude for before God.

JANUARY-3
CURSED IS EVERYONE THAT CONTINUES NOT.
Gal3:10For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Paul quotes Deuteronomy 27:26 to prove that,contrary to what the judaizers claimed the law cannot justify and save,it can only condemn. Breaking even one commandment bring some one under condemnation everyone is condemned and the law can do nothing to reverse it.(Rom 3:20-24)But Christ took the curse of the law upon him so we wouldn't have to bear our own punishment and so we could be saved through Him .The only condition is that we accept Christ's work on the cross (Col 1:20-23)
God's way is perfect,and when his people aspire to walk in his way they walk the way of perfection for God's way is perfect. This day when you continue in Christ and you continually walk in his way then dose God bring you forth as it pleases him. But when men will walk after their own way,they bring nothing forth ,they bring forth the wind,they bring forth death. Do not seek for your way ,for your way is death seek for God's way,for God's way is the way perfect. Rejoice be glad that you are privileged to walk in God's way. The living God is hope to all who will walk to him. look to God the father of our lord and savior in every circumstance in every situation and know that God shall give to you the power of his hope in Christ you shall not be Ashamed. Continual focus yourself on Jesus Christ and you shall be brought forth when men shall settle for that which is carnal they shall be disappointed. but when a man will aspire for that which
is is of God's spirit they shall be brought forth in hope,they shall be brought forth in joy. This day rejoice that you are privileged to come
into and maintain the spirit life. For many men upon the earth have sought what God has given to you and they have received not,but you have received.

BY THE TONGUE WE CURSE MEN.
James3:9- Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10: Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11: Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12: Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
our contradictory speech often muzzle us. At times it is right and pleasing to God but at other times it is violent and destructive. Which of these reflects our true identity?the tongue gives us basic human nature. but we are bad-fallen and sinful God works to change us from the inside out. As the holy spirit purifies our hearts ,he also gives us self control so that we will speak words that please him God.
Therefore cherish the special treasure that the holy spirit has given to you,For there are men upon the earth and men already gone,who longed,who desired and and sort to receive the abundance that God has given to you,and know that to whom much is given much is also required. Therefore give to God as He has given you for the living God has given ti you without measure. God has given to you with great abundance,therefore likewise,give as he has given to you.For God has given to you of his bounty and his bountifulness. Therefore rejoice this day rejoice that God has been merciful towards you and he has led you forth by his loving kindness. This day be a thanks giving person be a rejoicing person,for indeed God is merciful,indeed he is the abundant. Rejoice.

GOD WILL NOT AGAIN CURSE THE GROUND
GEN 8:21And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
the third dispensation:Human government under conscience as innocently men utterly failed and judgment of the flood marks the end of second dispensation and the begging of third. the declaration of the Noahalic covenant subjects humanity to a new test. his distinctive feature. The highest function of government is the judicial of life all other government powers are implied in that it follows the third dispensation is distinctively human government Man is responsible to govern the world for God That responsibility rested upon the whole race Jews and gentiles,Until the failure of Israel under the Palestinian Government (Deut 28:30,1:10)Brought the judgment of the captives when the times of the gentiles When the times of the gentiles (see Luke 21:24,Rev16:14)begun and the government of the world passed exclusively into gentiles hands.(Dan 2:36-45,Luke 21:24,Acts15:14-17) That both Israel and the governed for self not God is
sadly apparent. The judgment of the confession of tongue ended the racial testing ,that of the captives the Jewish testing,while the gentiles testing will end in the smiting of image(Dan2) and the judgment of the nations
Do not despise the living God but love him,do not curse the living god but praise him,'For god's way is perfect therefore bow down to God's sovereignty bow down to His Lordship. For when you bow to God surely he gives you the very best. For God It gives God pleasure. But when you will stop and consider that all things are in God's hands and you will praise him for the same ,know that God has prepared the best for you. Do not despise what God takes you through but rather give thanks and praise, for God brings you forth as his polished stones and he brings you forth as his polished Jewel therefore rejoice for indeed God's way is perfect. Thank God that he is the way Thank God that you are privileged to partake him,partake continually giving thanks and giving praises.

BALAAM ASKED TO CURSE ISRAEL.
Num 22:4-And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
5: He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:
6: Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
At king Balak's request Balaam traveled nearly 400 miles to curse Israel. Balac took Balaam to mount Pisgah and finally to mount Peor. Each mountain looked over the plains of Moab where the Israelites were camped but to the kings Dismay Balaam was used by God to bless not curse Israelites.(2nd Peter2:15-16)
Balaam is the typical hiring prophet seeking only to make market of his gift “This is the way of Balaam”(2nd peter 2:15) and characterizes false false teachers. The error of Balaam was that he could only see the natural morality a Holy God,he reasoned must curse such a people as Israel. Like a false teacher he was ignorant of the higher morality of vicarious atonement,by which God could be just and justifier of believing sinners (Romans3:26)The doctrine of Balaam (Rev2:14)refers to his to his teaching Balek to corrupt the people who He could not curse. Balaamism in teaching never rises above natural reasoning in practice it is easy world conformity.Rev2:14
Balaam's story is also told in numbers 22:1-24:15 he is also mentioned in numbers 31:16,Deut 23:4-5,Joshua 24:9-10,Nehemiah 13:2Micah 6:5
Thank God this day that He is the LAM for truly there is none like Him for He alone is the Lam. The God's of men are are dead but the lord is .He is the infinite and the and the endless. Rejoice that He is able to lift you up above the planes of death,That He is able to lift you up into Dimensions of life. For when God's people will be appreciative of God's goodness and of his mercy,He does not with hold from his .Often times God's goodness and of his mercy,He does not with hold from his people suffer in vain,for they do not suffer according to His determination,but they suffer according to their stubbornness and pride. Today,do not have proud thoughts nor images of your own ways.
Therefore do not let pride enter into your thoughts and your imaginations and do not think more highly of yourself than you ought to think. But consider yourself as a sinner only saved by God's grace and by your wretchedness you perish. But it is in God's mercy and realize that it is His mercy that you are brought forth. Today continue to declare Christ as He is. Do not cause men to be snared and be taken to hell .Do not listen to your moaning and groaning but rather concentrate upon praising him. Press into the attitude of gratitude then do they give thanks,give thanks give the praise to God,and you shall know His blessedness over you
