Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your promise of protection from the enemy. Thank You for the many times that I have been spared from the evil plans of the devil. I do appreciate Your angels watching over me and my loved ones. I am grateful that no weapon formed against me prospers. Lord, I submit to You, knowing that when I resist the enemy, he must flee from me. Thank You for answering me when I am in trouble and showing me the way out and how to overcome every problem that I…

“My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways.” Is.55:8

Reflection:

   Whoever does not think the thoughts of God will never walk in God’s ways either. Other ways presuppose other thoughts.

   Think always of those things that are God’s and then your ways will be…

1 John 1:8-10 (2:1)

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purity us form all unrighteousness." If we claim we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar and his word has not place in our lives." "My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if…

Abel the Lord respected Abel and his offering. Gen. 4:4.

By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain. Heb. 11:4.

You may all come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah. Matt. 23:35

We show that both earthly oblations and spiritual sacrifices were foreshadowed... Cain foreshadowed those of the elder son, that is, of Israel. And the opposite sacrifices are…

They’ll Know we are Christians by our Love ... or not. [Romans 8.35-39 juxtaposed with Ephesians 1.15]

It was 1970, and the song, ‘They’ll Know We are Christians by Our Love’ joined ‘Pass it On’ and ‘Kum ba Ya’ on the top Christian pop…

God does not get rushed. He is never pressured. He can however be talked into good things - it's called prayer. We have to be a believer and have faith to receive whatever we ask for in prayer. The power of prayer is an awesome tool.

Saying things like "There's no hope," tells God He doesn't have the power to fix your situation. Nothing is beyond His repair.

I personally believe that some of us don’t hear voices, but we get instincts and signs that guide…

"I can do all things though Christ who strengthens me." Phillipians 4:13

This is the story of two frogs. One frog was fat and the other skinny. One day, while searching for food, they inadvertently jumped into a vat of milk. They couldn't get out, as the sides were too slippery, so they were just swimming around.

The fat frog said to the skinny frog, "Brother frog, there's no use paddling any longer. We're just going to drown, so we might as…

“You will suffer in the world. But take courage! I have overcome the world.” Jn.16:33

Reflection:

   The essence of the world is human exaltation of self. Christ overcame this by His obedience.

   We too will overcome it if first we conquer our own base, selfish nature and totally abandon ourselves to God. Am I ready to do this?

Prayer:

   “Lord, let me die to the world so that I may live only for You. In the name of Jesus I pray.…
