PRECIOUS THOUGHTS

 

Author: Esther Agbi

 

[Wisdom Fountain 0901]

 

Psalm 139 v 17

 

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them.

 

You know, it is interesting to note that something like “thoughts” could be precious. Things like gem stones, gold, diamond etc are usually considered precious. Sometimes, one wonders in thought, what is called day dreaming and it could be sweet moments.

 

Have you ever wondered, or daydreamed or imagined that people could be outside your home with balloons, camera crew, knocking at your door, waiting for you to open. As you open your door, you are told that you have just won 100 million dollars. What a great surprise and amazement. Such thoughts are sweet. When or if it does come to pass, it will be treasured.

 

Today’s scripture tells us that God, your Father’s thoughts towards you are precious. “thoughts” , not one, two or three… but numerous. Anytime he thinks about you, something good races through his mind. How marvelous that sounds. It gives me great joy just to know that God is concerned about my well being and yours.

 

Jer.29 v. 11 “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end”.

 

That expected end that God has for you will surely come to pass in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

 

Prayer Points

 

1.     Lord thank you for the marvelous thoughts you always have for me. Thank for placing my name in your good book for a blessing always in Jesus Name.

 

2.     Every good thing God has destined to bless me with will surely happen in Jesus Name. No devil from the pit of hell or his agents will be able to stop it in Jesus Name. Amen.

THE DILIGENT FARMER

 

 

[Living Bread Nugget 0702]

 

 

PSALM 126: 5- 6 [KJV]

5 They 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.

 

 A farmer who hides his hand in his bosom will go hungry. A good farmer sows at the right time, tends his crops by cutting off the weeds, is patient and looks unto the LORD by faith that his crops will yield a bountiful harvest. You have sown in tears. Now is your turn to begin to reap a bountiful harvest in Jesus Name.

 

Prayer Point

 

1.               Oh Lord bless the work of my hands.  Everything I lay my hands upon, cause them to prosper in Jesus Name.

 

2.            Oh Lord make my harvest bountiful. Make all natural and supernatural forces to cooperate and line up with your will as I reap a hundred fold return in one year of all that I have sown in the past in Jesus Name.

NOURISHED BY MANNA FROM HEAVEN

 

[Living Bread Nugget 0615]

  

DEUTORONOMY 8: 3

3   And 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.

 

 

God who provides daily rations for the sparrows will not forget you. God honors the faith of those who look onto Him to provide for them and sustain them in times of scarcity, drought and when harvests are failing. Even if he has to send manna from heaven, he will do it for your sake.

 

 

Prayer Point

 

1.                I put my trust in you.  Open the windows of heaven and rain down angels’ food and  other special blessings on my life in Jesus Name.

 

2.        Lord as you satisfy all my physical hunger; satisfy all my spiritual hunger in Jesus Name.

Upward looking

Author: Esther Agbi

 

Bible Nugget 0606 [Colossians 3:2, KJV]

 

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

 

2. Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth.

 

God wants us to be focused on things above. The question now arises. What are those things above? This same passage tells us Christ is above, making intersession for you and me. We also know that God is above. He is sitting on his throne and the earth is his foot stool. The angelic host and the 24 elders are worshiping the most high day in day out.

Some of the definitions of the word “set” are to adjust, lay or stand in a certain position, make or become permanent.

 

As we begin to worship God right here on earth, we are positioning our selves for eternity, which will become permanent in due time. The love of God wells up in us and we continue to increase in our heavenly treasures. No little wonder the scripture says where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Let us as Christians risen with him continue to love what God loves and despise what He hates. The Holy Spirit will help us to adjust our lives to please Him as our aspirations, hope and our mental disposition is upward looking.

 

In the same manner, when Jesus ascended into heaven, the disciples set their gaze towards heaven until the angels of God came to them and said, this same Jesus shall return in the same manner as you see him go.

 

I pray that the lord will not only allow us to be looking upward physically, but spiritually

also, until his coming in Jesus name. Amen.

 

Prayer Points 0606

  1. Lord, any cataract preventing me, from seeing you clearly, blot out from my way by your power.
  2. Father, make my affections to be in line with yours, in Jesus name. Amen

God’s Blessings on the Head of the Righteous

 

Bible Nugget 0605 [psalm 92:12-15 NKJV]

 

12 The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
         He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
 13 Those who are planted in the house of the LORD
         Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
 14 They shall still bear fruit in old age;
         They shall be fresh and flourishing,
 15 To declare that the LORD is upright;
         He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

 

The desire of God is to glorify his children and distinguish them from the heathen. The heathen do not know God and therefore any prosperity they seem to have is ephemeral. It is short-lived. It is the memory or remembrance of the righteous that is blessed. Not the memory of the wicked. The above psalm  powerfully reminds us that we are blessed. Blessed beyond measure. As a tree of the LORD planted by the riverside we continue to flourish even though there is famine and drought all around us. Your are a trees of righteousness.  Even if things appear not to be working hang on to God and he will distinguish you. You will spring forth because God will take the Glory when you are blessed. The palm tree planted by the water has an inexhaustible source of water to keep its sap full. And a cedar tree will survive against all odds and adverse weather conditions. God’s blessings are upon your head and he will distinguish you in due time.

 

Isaiah 61:3

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
