MORNING DUTY

MORNING DUTY: LOOK UP

“My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up.” ~ Psalm 5:3   REFERENCE:  Psalm 5:1-3   We continue to learn from David’s morning duty today. He resolved that God would hear his voice every morning as a matter of duty and importance. He further said he would direct that voice to God and would look up. To what would David be referring? What does he mean? From our text, it is plain that when David said God would hear his voice in the morning, he...

MORNING DUTY: MY VOICE

“My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up.” ~ Psalm 5:3   REFERENCE: Psalm 5:1-3   Every new day is ushered in by the morning. The morning is the foundation of every day. If the foundation is well laid, there will be stability throughout the day. It is the gate to each new day; it can either open to goodness or keep it away, depending on what men do with the morning.   Each morning promises another chance at having a better life. It is...

SOLOMON BEGAN TO BUILD

“…in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord.” – I Kings 6:1   REFERENCE: I Kings 6:1  &  I Kings 9:1 A new year has begun; begin things you have always wanted to do. God is Alpha and Omega; hence, the confidence we have when we dare to begin to act on our dreams as children of God. If we begin to build the things we feel led by God to build, He will help us finish it. The young King Solomon...

BE STRONG

BE STRONG IN THE LORD

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” ~ Ephesians 6:10   REFERENCE: Ephesians 6:10-18   The enemy wants to keep you defeated and clueless about your authority in Christ. Therefore, you must contend with antagonistic forces and seize it by force. In every contest, the stronger defeats the weaker, and higher forces dominate the lower ones. The only warrant you have to win over the devil and reclaim authority is to be strong in the Lord. To be strong in the Lord means that you are fighting from a place of advantage. God...

FORCE

SEIZE IT BY FORCE

“And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force…” ~ Matthew 11:12 (AMPC)   REFERENCE: Matthew 11:12 (AMPC)   This year, God wants His children to reclaim authority. It is because man lost the ‘Genesis mandate’ to satan in Eden, but when we get saved, the crown of authority is given back to us so we might reign again. However, many are subject to situations, satan, and the wickedness of man. If you do nothing, you will remain a victim; to reclaim authority,...

MEMORIAL STONES

“…The waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord…And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.” ~ Joshua 4:7   REFERENCE: Joshua 4:1-9   We are at a transition point. In a few hours, we will be in a new year; a noble thing to do is to raise a memorial to God on such a special day. God’s grace has kept you for 365 days, and you are about to embark on a journey for another 365 days. Pause today, and reflect on the outgoing year, so you...

FAITH IN CRUMBS

“And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” ~ Matthew 15:27   REFERENCE: Matthew 15:22-28   This Canaanite woman demonstrated her great faith when she turned around and said, “Even dogs get to feast off the bread crumbs that fall from the table while the children eat,” although she was called a dog by Jesus and told that what she sought was bread for children. What faith! I do not know anyone who will put up with the humiliation this woman was put through when trying to get help for her insanely sick...

FIRST

PUT GOD FIRST

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” – Matthew 6:33   REFERENCE: Matthew 6:25-33   One of the great athletes in Britain, Eric Liddell, was to run for Britain in the 1924 Olympic games. He was a Christian. When the preliminary heats of his best event, 100 meters race, was set on a Sunday, Liddell quietly but firmly refused to run. The day of 400 meters race came, and as Liddell went to the starting blocks, an unknown man slipped a piece of paper in his hand with a...

ELIZABETH HAS CONCEIVED

“…Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible.” – Luke 1:36-37   REFERENCE: Luke 1:26-37   The news that a virgin would have a child without ‘knowing’ a man was preposterous for Mary. She was to expect what had never happened before to happen in her life, and as expected, she wondered how. To bolster her faith in the impossible, the angel told her, “Elizabeth has conceived, and she that was termed barren is six months pregnant.”  Elizabeth...

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...
