MY LOT

YOU MAINTAIN MY LOT

“O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a good inheritance.” ~ Psalm 16:5-6   REFERENCE: Psalm 16:1-6   God loves you and has your good at heart. Can you let this picture sink into your spirit? If you do, it will bring you to a place of peace, being able to hand your life and affairs into God’s hands assured that He will seek your good always. The Psalmist had this assurance, which is why he could say, “You maintain...

Sufficient

GOD IS SUFFICIENT

Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.” – John 6:7   REFERENCE: John 6:5-13   Jesus found Himself where we often find ourselves, a position where what we have is inadequate to answer what we need. A multitude had gathered to Him and needed food. Jesus and His team were far from town, in a desert place with little money. Does this sound familiar? However, Jesus knew what He would do to find sufficient supply.   Jesus knew that God was El-Shaddai, ‘the all-sufficient...

Lift your eyes

LIFT YOUR EYES AND SEE

“Lift up your eyes, look around and see; all these gather together and come to you. As I live,” says the Lord, “You shall surely clothe yourselves with them all as an ornament, and bind them on you as a bride does.” ~ Isaiah 49:18   REFERENCE: Isaiah 49:14-21   As we walk with Judah on their journey to recovery, let us consider the beautiful picture of their total restoration. Although they had spent years in captivity, God would bring them back to their land. He would rebuild the burnt houses and repopulate them. The change will be such that God calls them...

Go away

YOUR DESTROYERS SHALL GO AWAY

“Your sons shall make haste; your destroyers and those who laid you waste shall go away from you.” ~ Isaiah 49:17   REFERENCE:  Isaiah 49:14-21   These verses speak of the restoration of captive Israel. Wasted by the gentiles, God said He was mindful of them and would not forget them, signaling their recovery and return from captivity. To initiate recovery, the destroyers who laid their nation waste shall be made to go away. An undeniable fact is the reality of invisible (sometimes visible) powers and forces that tyrannize and harass man. They stand to oppose progress and subvert every attempt he makes at making...

LOSS

COUNTED AS LOSS

“But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.” ~ Philippians 3:7   REFERENCE: Philippians 3:3-8   From childhood, parents push their children to excel in sports, academics, music, etc. As adults, we pat ourselves on the back when we see a healthy bank balance, academic degrees, family, ancestry, etc. If a man has all these accolades, what will make him consider them a loss? Paul was a man of enviable achievements. He had the advantages of birth, education, and external obedience to the law. He stood out amongst his contemporaries in almost anything that...

Debt

ALL DEBTS CANCELLED

“He canceled the unfavorable record of our debts with its binding rules and did away with it completely by nailing it to the cross.” ~ Colossians 2:14 (GNT)   REFERENCE:  Colossians 2:11-15 (GNT)   Oh, the blessing of the death of Jesus Christ on the cross! All men born of a woman owe God a debt of sin because of Adam’s sin. The Law of Moses extended to man the hope of forgiveness and access to God. However, unable to keep it, man fell short of its righteous requirements and became indebted to God. A record of his debt was kept. This...

be single

BE SINGLE-EYED

“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” – Matthew 6:22 (KJV)   REFERENCE: Matthew 6:22-24 (KJV)   If you are like me, several things appeal to you, business, singing, speaking, art, sports, skills, trade, learning new things, etc. The gifts within you are calling for expression. If you are not careful, you will become a ‘Jack of all trades and master of none.’ You will try many things but make no success of any and find yourself constantly starting and stopping projects. Jesus here used the single...

MIRACLE

A NOTABLE MIRACLE

“…For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.” _ Acts 4:16   REFERENCE: Acts 4:13-22   Peter and John had worked a miracle on a man born lame; he could now walk. That caused no little stir in the city, and a crowd gathered to them, to whom they preached. It ruffled the feathers of the priests, captain of the temple, and Sadducees. They arrested the apostles and jailed them overnight to decide their matter the next day. While adjudicating their matter, it was obvious...

LOVE BELIEVES THE BEST

“Love…is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].” ~ I Corinthians 13:7 (AMPC)   REFERENCE I Corinthians 13:4-8 (AMPC)   In this powerful chapter, the apostle Paul seconds every other Christian virtue to love; he places love above prophetic and miraculous powers; and lifts it above showy charity or daring acts of martyrdom. Love should be the ultimate motivation for everything a Christian does; else, no matter how applaudable whatever he does is, Paul says, “He is still a useless nobody.” Christianity is about relationships, relationships...

THE SELFLESS CHURCH

“All the believers were of one heart and mind, and no one felt that what he owned was his own; everyone was sharing.” – Acts 4:32 (TLB)   REFERENCE: Acts 4:32-35 (TLB)   As the world goes through uncertain economic times, the church must become a place of hope and help for all, especially believers. She must become an oasis of support and supply by practicing biblical truths so that the people of God will prosper through famine and not be a reproach in the world. God’s people have all of God’s possessions to meet all of God’s needs. The...
