Thy Great Power:

Ah Lord God, behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.” - Jeremiah 32:17

At the very time when the Chaldeans surrounded Jerusalem, and when the sword, famine and pestilence had desolated the land, Jeremiah was commanded by God to purchase a field, and have the deed of transfer legally sealed…

Exodus 7:12

For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods. 

 

This incident is an instructive emblem of the sure victory of the divine handiwork over all opposition. Whenever a divine principle is cast into the heart, though the devil may fashion a counterfeit, and produce swarms of opponents, as sure as ever God is in the work, it will swallow up all its…

Open My Ears

Psalm 40:6-8

Sacrifice and meal offering Thou hast not desired; my ears Thou hast opened; burnt offering and sin offering Thou hast not required. Then I said, “Behold, I come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me; I delight to do Thy will, O my God.” NIV

    

 When the psalmist speaks there about burnt…

Exodus 8:28

 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go , that may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away; intreat for me..” - 

 This is a crafty word from the lip of the arch-tyrant Pharaoh. If the poor bondaged Israelites must needs go out of Egypt, then he bargains with them that it shall not be very far away; not too far for them to escape the terror of his arms, and the…

2 Peter 1:4

Whereby are givenunto us exceeding great and precious promises;that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Vanish for ever all thought of indulging the flesh if you would live in the power of your risen Lord. It were ill that a man who is alive in Christ should dwell in the corruption of sin. “Why seek…

Every day millions of people throughout the world worry about one thing or another. Christians also worry about their situations in life such as finances, sickness, death, families, love ones, children and their status in life.

 As Christians we should not worry, but have faith in God and trust in His words. Worry is the worst thief of all. When we worry it robs us of peace and fulfillment, and we face physical…

Earthly Father

(Exodus 20:12) Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. (Deuteronomy 5:16) Honour the father and thy mother , as the Lord thy God hath command thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth…

Revelation 17

New King James Version (NKJV)

The Scarlet Woman and the Scarlet Beast

 ¹ Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me,^[…

Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wanting.” - Daniel 5:27

It is well frequently to weigh ourselves in the scale of God’s Word. You will find it a holy exercise to read some psalm of David, and, as you meditate upon each verse, to ask yourself, “Can I say this? Have I felt as David felt? Has my heart ever been broken on account of sin, as his was when he penned his penitential psalms? Has my soul been full of true confidence…

Joel 2:28-3:8 (Good News Translation)

God’s Word Goes Forth: Be Filled with the Holy Spirit

Introduction

Joel 2:28-3:8: Joel is a prophet who warns the people of Israel that the day of the Lord is near. In this passage, he tells how the Holy Spirit will empower the people, saving the faithful.…

And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.

“The Lord shut him in.” - Genesis 7:16 Noah was shut in away from all the world by the hand of divine love. The door of electing purpose interposes between us and the world which lieth in the wicked one. We are not of the world even as our Lord Jesus was not of the world. Into the sin, the gaiety, the pursuits of the multitude we cannot enter; we…
