THANKSGIVING TO A CARING GOD

 

Wisdom Fountain 0114 [Psalm 103 v 1-5, NKJV]

 1Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:
 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,
 4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s,

The goodness of God is all en-compassing touching every area of our lives. The bible instructs us to remind ourselves of all the blessings we receive from God, because the memory of man tends to be short. One needs to search into the inner man and call to remembrance every good thing we received from the Lord and as the hymn writer says “it will surprise you what the Lord has done”. Cultivate a heart of gratitude and God will do more. Let us bless God from our soul with the following prayer.

 

Prayer of Faith 0114

Magnify the LORD, O my soul and exalt His Holy Name for the great blessings he has done for me since my youth. For saving my soul by revealing to me the knowledge of your only begotten Son. For overcoming trials and temptations and being there for me in times of trouble. For preserving my life and restoring my health. For making me whole,  body, soul and Spirit. Bless the LORD O my Soul.

LORD LET MY PLANS RECEIVE YOUR DIVINE APPROVAL

Wisdom Fountain 0113 [Prov. 16: 1-3, Amplified]

1THE PLANS of the mind and orderly thinking belong to man, but from the Lord comes the [wise] answer of the tongue.

2All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirits (the thoughts and intents of the heart).

 3Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.

Planning is key to success in any venture. Without a plan, a good purpose turns to disappointment. Planning often involves goals and objectives, consultation or counseling with experts, research, etc. Whatever the source, all these originate from the mind. The mind is like a mine which if properly cultivated will be a source to dig out all precious things. In this context, the writer of proverbs instructs us to commit our plans to the Lord to have success in our endeavours.  Let’s do this with prayers.

 

Prayer of Faith 0113

Lord, let my mind be a mine full of your word in Jesus Name. Let my thoughts be a stream having its source from your word and let my tongue be an outlet sanctified by your Spirit to issue out pure and holy words in Jesus Name. Cause my ways to be aligned with Jesus who is the way the truth and the life in Jesus Name. I commit all the works of my hands in to your able hands; let me be in your perfect will for my life in Jesus Name. Thank you Lord for establishing and granting me good success as I remain in you in Jesus Name. Amen.

GRACIOUS ORNAMENT

Wisdom Fountain 0112 [Proverbs 1 v 7-9, KJV]

7The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

 8My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

 9For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

An ornament enhances beauty. God wants to beautify our lives with his salvation. The beginning of this beauty is to fear the Lord. Not the fear of the world, but Godly fear, meaning reverence of the Almighty in every area of our lives. It means to hate sin and any appearance of evil. Noah was one of such. He saw the evil that had taken hold of the world in his time, moved with Godly fear, prepared an ark and was saved from the destruction and wrath God poured on the earth for the sinfulness of men and women that caused God to regret that he created man. [Gen 6:1-8]. To experience godly fear require diligent assimilation and obedience of the Word of God. Say the following prayer of commitment to the God as follows:

 

Prayer of Faith 0112

Oh Lord thank you for the Holy Spirit that dwells in my heart. Grant me divine knowledge so that I may fearfully reverence you all the days of my life. Instruct me with the wisdom that will cause me to excel spiritually, in my marital life, socially and in the works of my hands.  Let your Holy Spirit remind me of your word and precept in meditation, thought and obedience in Jesus Name. Place your ornament of grace over my neck and shoulder, and let your grace abound in my life as I heed your word and precept in Jesus Name. I shall be abundantly satisfied with your goodness in Jesus Name. Amen.

JESUS, THE PERFECT GIFT TO MANKIND

 

Bible Nugget 0106 [John 3: 16 – 21, KJV]

16For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

 18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

 19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

 20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

 21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Our God is a merciful and loving God. His desire is that everybody be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. When Adam and Eve fell in the Garden of Eden they lost fellowship with God and became alienated from God. They also became servants to a new master, the devil who put a mark of ownership on them; sin, death and eternal separation from God for the unrepentant.  God sent his Son into the world to reconcile mankind back to God.  He gave mankind the very best gift, His only begotten Son, full of the Grace of God. Rejecting the Son of God is an eternal death sentence one places on him or herself. Believing and accepting Jesus will usher you into God’s kingdom and you become a member of the family of God. Let him into your heart and darkness will have no hiding place. Why not accept Jesus today if you have not done so already. Make him the centre point of your life to which all other things revolve and enjoy the peace he gives.

 

Prayer of Faith 0106

 

Pray the following sinner’s prayer and become a member of the family of God.

 

 

Oh Lord, I come to you in the Name of Jesus. I come without any plea of my righteousness. Cleanse me from all my sins with your precious blood.  I renounce and cut off every fellowship with darkness. Let your glorious light shine on me. Thank you Father LORD for my salvation is assured by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, your only begotten Son. Thank you LORD for making me to see the glorious light of the gospel. Shine you light perpetually on me in Jesus Name.
