SHINE

LIGHT HAS COME; SHINE!

“Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.” ~ Isaiah 60:1 REFERENCE: Isaiah 60:1-5 Yesterday we began paying close attention to the verse above and its instructions. The first was to ARISE, and the second was SHINE. It is also a command! 'SHINE' is an action; it is a verb. The following describes what it means to SHINE: 1. To emit or reflect light to glow. 2. To distinguish oneself, to excel 3. To be immediately apparent 4. To be eminent, conspicuous. Light has come, and we are to shine. We...

WAVER

DO NOT WAVER

“He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.” – Romans 4:20   REFERENCE: Romans 4:16-21   The old song says, “You’ll never get Abraham’s blessing with the Thomas kind of faith. Your mountain will just stand there in the same old place. If you have to see it first, hear it, or touch it, or taste. You’ll never get Abraham’s blessing with the Thomas kind of faith.” Thomas doubted Jesus’ promise to rise from the dead. On the contrary, Abraham did not waver at God’s word. When Abraham was old and...

THE COMPASSION OF JESUS

“I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And if I send them away hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way…” ~ Mark 8:2-3   REFERENCE: Mark 8:1-3 It is reassuring to know that we do not serve a God whose very thought strikes terror in our hearts, but we serve a God who is love; He is a Father and a friend. What distinguishes Him from others who claim the title ‘god’ is that He is gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, and abundant in...

AUTHRITY

RECLAIM AUTHORITY

“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” ~ Luke 10:19   REFERENCE: Luke 10:17-20   Happy New Year! Welcome to 2023. May it be a year of great victories for you. God has a crown of authority for you in 2023. He wants you to take your throne, so you will not go through this year being at the mercy of circumstances, satanic manipulations, and man’s wickedness. God made you to rule, dominate, and have authority as His agent on...

The end

THIS IS NOT THE END

“For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again…” – Job 14:7a   REFERENCE: JOB 14:7-9   No matter what a tree has suffered – chopped and cut down by the axe of circumstances, there is still hope for it. Its roots are buried deep in the soil; therefore, it will sprout again when droplets of water touch it. Trees in the northern hemisphere often drop all their leaves in autumn to help them weather the winter. They look naked, bare, and exposed, but when spring comes, they blossom again. You can...

JEHOVAH JIREH – THE LORD WILL PROVIDE

“And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” – Genesis 22:14 REFERENCE: Genesis 22:1-14 We have one of the most intriguing stories in the bible unfolding here. A father is on his way to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. Imagine the anxiety and the myriads of emotions on their minds. The father is afraid he may return home empty-handed, while the son wonders why there is no animal for the sacrifice as at other times. Could he be the sacrificial animal?...

FOUND IN THE WILDERNESS

“Now the Angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.” – Genesis 16:7   Reference:  GENESIS 16:1-16   Hagar, Sarah’s maidservant, had one of those ‘too-good-to-be-true’ life-changing stories. From being a house slave, Hagar became her boss’ mistress and even got pregnant for him, while the boss’ wife was unable to conceive or bear a child after many years of marriage. Imagine that pregnant Hagar had morning sicknesses; she would tell Sarah that she couldn’t cook or clean because of the pregnancy. Abram probably gave her...

APRIL FULL

“This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” – Psalm 118:24   Reference:  Psalm 118:22-25 Hooray, it is the first day of April! The world has a custom of playing practical pranks on people on the first day of April and they will shout, “April fool!” So, they call today “April fool’s day.” We should instead get God’s perspective on the day and see it in a different light forever. Isaiah 8:12 (NIV) says, “Do not call conspiracy everything this people calls a conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do...

SATISFIED WITH LONG LIFE

I said, “In the prime of my life I shall go to the gates of Sheol; I am deprived of the remainder of my years.”  Isaiah 38:10 REFERENCE Isaiah 38:1-10 Sickly King Hezekiah was told by the prophet to put his house in order; that he would die. He promptly responded with heartfelt prayers, pleading for his life. God saw his tears and heard his prayers. In no time, God reversed his situation and added 15 years to his life – in fact, He promised him victory in his future battles; an assurance that he would live. Interesting! From our...

DIVINE INTERCEPTION

“Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.”  Matthew 2:12. REFERENCE Matthew 2:1-15 …Herod pretended to share the same quest with the wise men: to seek and worship the newborn King. But he wanted to harm the new Babe. He cunningly pretended to be a fan and friend of the New Born, but inwardly meant evil for Him. He later revealed his true intentions by murdering all male children two years old and under in Bethlehem in his determination to kill the Son of God. It...
