I've Got Plans for You - Jesus

 I've Got Plans for You - Jesus 

O Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like you

in all of heaven above or on the earth below.

You keep your covenant and show unfailing love

to all who walk before you in wholehearted devotion.

1 Kings 8:23 (NLT)

Wait with Me for a while.

There is so much that I want to tell you. have great plans for you.

I have all the details worked out. You are walking along the path

have chosen for you.

Just follow Me, and I'll show you what to do.

Sometimes you'll feel that you aren't good enough or brave

enough to carry out My assignment. But you're looking at

your imperfections. I am looking at My Power-that makes

you good enough and brave enough.

Sometimes My plan will call for you to stand out from the

crowd.

Don't be afraid to be different; it doesn't matter

what other people think.

Just stay on the path of Life with Me-trusting Me with all your heart.

Galatians 5:22-23

FOCUSING YOUR THOUGHTS #JESUSCALLING

 Focusing Your Thoughts

Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right,

and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that

are excellent and worthy of praise.

Philippians 4:8 (NLT)

Start your morning with Me. Resist that urge to roll over for

just a few more minutes of sleep. Don't fill your room with

music or television just yet. Take a few moments to center

your thoughts on Me. And let Me fill you with My Joy and Peace.

Then as you go through your day, keep your thoughts

focused on Me and My blessings. Pay attention to the

things that are bestthe things that are worth taking time

for like a true friend, the honor of a grandparent, the pure

innocence of a baby, or the loveliness of My creation.

Whatever is excellent and good, notice these things and

praise Me for them. They are My blessings for you this day.

Isaiah 40:31; Psalm 27:4

Like A Candle | Jesus For Kids Devotional

  

Woow! Thank You Abba for not judging me

when I am weak. 

Like a Candle

He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle.

—Isaiah 42:3 (NLT)

At times you feel so weak and tired that you just don’t know if you have the energy to keep going. 

You feel like the flame of a candle that is flickering and about to burn out.

Perhaps you think about coming to Me, but you are afraid I will demand something else of you. 

And you are just so tired. Or perhaps you worry that I will see your weakness as a lack of faith. 

So you avoid Me.

It’s okay to be tired. It’s okay to be weak. 

I understand how difficult things have been. 

I don’t want to judge you. 

I just want to wrap you up in My everlasting arms and let you rest. 

Forget about the world, forget the things you need to do, 

forget the pressures—just come to Me and rest.

Isaiah 54:10; Romans 8:26

The Total Healing Prayer

The Total Healing Prayer 

 Father God, thank You for Your unconditional love, 

for sending Jesus to save me and to set me free. 

I surrender myself to Your power and grace to sustain and 

restore me. 

Loving Father, touch me now with Jesus healing hands as I 

believe that Your will is for me to be well in mind, body and 

spirit. Cover me with the most precious blood of Jesus from the 

top of my head to the soles of myfeet. Cast out anything that 

should not be in me.Root out any unhealthy and abnormal cells 

and multiply the healthy ones. Open any blocked arteries or 

veins, rebuild and replenish any damaged areas. Remove all 

inflammation and cleanse any infection by the power of Jesus 

precious blood. Let the fire of Your healing love pass through 

my entire body enriching its function. Touch also my mind and 

my emotions even the deepest recesses of my heart. Saturate my 

whole being with Your presence, joy and peace and draw me 

ever closer to You every moment of my life, confirming that the 

Holy Spirit dwells in me, telling me what to do. Amen!!

Use Your Time Wisely

 Good morning Beloveds! How are you all doing?

I pray that you are always in the divine protection

in the mighty hands of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Let us always stay in His presence because He is our only 

hope. He is our redeemer and restorer. He loves you so!

Be blessed in today’s read. 

I promise I will share more soon. 

Let’s keep the faith. We are all in good hands with Jesus. 

Jesus saves! Jesus redeems! Jesus heals!

Anxious for Nothing (Devotional)

 Anxious for Nothing

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything

by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your

requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, 

which surpasses all understanding, will guard

your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7 ESV

Lord, sometimes I get so wound up! I'm like a ticking bomb,

about to go off. Stresses add up, one on top of the other,

and I don't always handle them the way should. 

Then I'm reminded of Your Word: "Do not be anxious about anything."

You have a great plan to turn things around, but it requires

action on my part. You want to involve me in the process.

So here I am, I Father, pouring out my supplications with

thanksgiving in my heart because I know You'll answer my

prayers when and how You choose. My choice, Lord, is to

trust You in the process. Thanks for loving me enough to

care about my anxieties! I'm so grateful, Father. Amen.

How do you turn your anxiety around?

John 16:33

Yes Jesus  I will just keep trusting You  

You have no taking me this far only to abandon me.

I will  keep holding unto Your love even if sometimes

I couldn’t understand or feel it.

Please teach me not to rely on my feelings.

Teach me instead on how to rely on Your promises.

This world is becoming darker each day.

But I am so blessed to know that as Your Beloved child,

my future is getting brighter each day.

Again, Lord Thank You for taking good care of me..

I may be alone in this world but with You in my life

I AM NEVER ALONE!

Practical Handles to Have Everything Added Unto You

Practical Handles to Have Everything Added Unto You 

For the past two Sundays, Pastor Prince shared from this portion of Scripture: “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:31-33).”

Upon hearing this, a bro texted me: “I want everything to be added unto me but what exactly does it mean to not worry and seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness?”

In his book titled “100 Days of Favor,” Senior Pastor said: “When I talk about not worrying and keeping our eyes on Jesus, some people think I’m not being practical. Beloved, you can worry all you like about your current crisis, but it would not improve or change your situation one bit. Please understand that I am not making light of what you are going through. I’m just offering you the best solution I know that works. Your breakthrough will not come as a result of your struggling. It will come when you rest in the person of Jesus and His finished work.”

Jesus Himself said do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink or wear. Was He saying that these things are not important? Not at all. In fact, He says that “your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.” 

But what Jesus desires for us to do is to “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,” and He promises that “all these things shall be added unto you.”

Said Pastor Prince: “Now who is God’s righteousness? Jesus Christ. And who is the king of the “kingdom of God” that we are to seek? Jesus Christ (Rev 19:16). Jesus was actually referring to Himself when He was preaching this. When you seek Him first in your life and make Him your priority each day, all these material provisions- what you eat, drink, wear - will be added to you. God does not delight in taking things away from you. He delights in adding to you, increasing you, promoting you and enriching you.”

Psalms 68:19 says, “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits.” The Lord loads us with benefits daily! This is how good our Saviour is. His mercies and unmerited favor are new every morning. This is the way to live and enjoy life, knowing that Jesus is with you and for you every step of the way.

“Put Jesus first in everything that you do, said Pastor Prince. “Honor Him and give Him preeminence in your daily life. Partake of His finished work daily by reading His living words to you. Practice the presence of Jesus and be conscious that He is with you, the same way that Joseph in the Bible was conscious that the Lord was with Him. Jesus will bless the work of your hands, and everything you touch will indeed prosper and bring good success into your life.”

 

Choose to speak to your covenant-keeping God

 Choose to speak to your covenant-keeping God

We live in times when dealing with economic uncertainty, virulent diseases, persistent warfare and all sorts of dangers have become a part of our lives. Therefore, we all have challenges, albeit some bigger than others. So wouldn’t you say that if you knew the key to receiving protection from Almighty God it would be Good News? For that was exactly what Pastor Prince delivered in church yesterday.

Said Senior Pastor: “Whatever is happening in the world today is because of man’s sin and the earth is groaning (Rom 8:22). So how many want to walk in God’s protection? Let me show you the key found in Psalm 91.”

Psalm 91:2 (NKJV)

I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in Him I will trust.”

Said Pastor Prince: “So what are you saying about the LORD when you’re faced with challenges and need protection? This is the key. You cannot trust without saying. Faith involves speaking. The Bible says, ‘I believe, therefore I speak (2 Cor 4:13).’ So speak that the LORD is your refuge and fortress!”

He opened the eyes of our understanding to see the hidden and precise meanings of the words “LORD” and “God” used here.

“I will say of the LORD” - The word “LORD” here is “Yahweh” or “Jehovah,” meaning covenant-keeping God.  The name Yahweh is a perpetual testimony to His faithfulness to His promises.

“My God in whom I will trust” - The word “God” here is “Elohim,” the Creator of the heavens and the earth (Gen 1:1). 

So when you speak in faith that Yahweh, your covenant-keeping God, is your refuge and fortress, your Elohim who created the heavens and the earth will move heaven and earth to protect you!

If you chew more on Psalm 91:2, have you ever wondered why David was inspired to say the LORD is both our refuge and fortress? I mean, why didn’t he stop at just the word “refuge,” or simply use “fortress” for either one seems good enough right?

Go into the Hebrew and you’ll see Yahweh’s tender mercies to assure us of His protection no matter what your situation.

He is my refuge” - the word “refuge” in Hebrew is “machaceh,” which means a shelter from storms and danger. Many Jewish homes have “machaceh” or bunkers till today to shelter them from small-scale attacks.

The LORD is also your fortress, in Hebrew, “matsuwd.” This refers to a castle or stronghold, a place of protection against large-scale attacks. 

You may ask what’s the big deal about small attacks today. One example of something seemingly small which can attack you and cause big trouble that you need protection from is the puny dengue-carrying Aedes mosquito. Another is the Covid virus. 

So whatever troubles you are facing today - be they big or small - speak that the LORD is your protection! Don’t declare He is your refuge and fortress only when you’re in big trouble. Truth is, we need Elohim’s protection every minute of every day. Your covenant-keeping God wants to assure you that however big or small your challenges are, He cares and will use the very power that created the heavens and the earth to protect you!
