A sledgehammer for my stubbornness and disobedient heart...!

Jeremiah 44:4-5, 10 NKJV

However I have sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, “Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate!” But they did not listen or incline their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods. They have not been humbled, to this day, nor have they feared; they have not walked in My law or in My statutes that I set before you and your fathers.’

******
Shalom!  Day #212. Do you know that a stubborn heart will find it hard to listen or incline their hearts from obeying the words of God regarding their life and also are not willing to take corrections? Let's pray.  Father,  please deal with the stubbornness in our hearts today. Remove every form of disobedience and stubbornness in our lives today. In Jesus name we ask and pray,  amen!

God does not do anything without a reason. When God ask you to go and speak to certain person well there is a reason why He ask us to do so. Whether that person wants to listen or not it's up to them, let God deal with them. Stubbornness, disobedience and hard hearted people, in my point of view, we will need a sledgehammer to hammer the hard rock! It means, even after warning them and they seemed to pay less attention to His corrections, well then let God Himself to teach them. This people professedly say that they have dealt with such areas in their life, but for fact the root is still there. You may not realize it until it come to surface again. The root of disobedience and stubbornness are remained hidden unless and until it is rekindled again. When iron sharpens iron, there is where we begin to see how rebellious, stubborn and disobedient a person can be. It may be a generational curse as well.

I have encountered many as such case. Even recently, I was talking with my friend, I've been following his updates about this certain person. This Mr.X came to my friends for help, he came with such tears in his eyes. Then as my friend begin to interrogate Mr.X, this Mr.X begin to share his story and everything. He is a new believer, but was left aside and has no one to disciple him. Then to cut the long story short, my friends, they begin to help him in many ways but this Mr.X hardens his heart and begin to blame my friends for being a hindrance for him. Then I begin to recall few verses in the bible where God hardens the hearts of the kings. So I was wondering,  Lord, what is this Mr.X's story. Then I know he has a rebellious spirit in him, a pretending spirit. He think is ok, but for fact he is not. Stubbornness,  pride and disobedience is holding him back from moving forward. People want to help, Jesus wants to heal, but Mr.X givings reasons and blaming other people for every bad thing that's happen in his life just like the lame man at the pool of Bethesda. Folks, stubbornness and disobedience is a great hindrance and it can cause you to go against His word and God Himself. Rebellion. You may seem to be ok ok but the true fact is the root is still there! I have encountered many as suh cases, finally what I do is, I will just surrender them to God and I wil pray GOD, PLEASE DEAL WITH THEM AS HOW YOU HAVE DEALT WITH ME!  And when God begans that "wonderful and extraordinary" process, I tell you , you will enjoy it, if you know what I meant. You will feel an excruciating pain as you go through that moment when God Himself begans to discipled you. Oh that breaking process! In your pride you may say to God YOU CANNOT BREAK ME, if you realize one thing, it's not you who speaks but the devil.   People it's never to late to allow God to heal and restore you. Allow God to break you. From brokenness and humility before God comes healing, restoration and revival.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

I am a hypocrite...!

Jeremiah 42:3, 6, 20-21 NKJV

that the Lord your God may show us the way in which we should walk and the thing we should do.” Whether it  is pleasing or displeasing, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God to whom we send you, that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of the Lord our God.” For you were hypocrites in your hearts when you sent me to the Lord your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to the Lord our God, and according to all that the Lord your God says, so declare to us and we will do it. ’ And I have this day declared it to you, but you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, or anything which He has sent you by me.

******
Shalom!  Day #211. Do you know that we have as a human do have a hypocrite heart? Let's pray. Father, forgive us for being double minded,  double hearted filled with hypocrisy. Lord, we repent of our wrong doing today and give us a one heart that's wholly set apart and focused on You. In Jesus name we ask and pray,  amen!

True story. This verse is a true account of how the conditions of a believers heart. Whenever we faced problems, troubles or even in need of advice from God,  we normally look for pastors to pray for us. At that time we pledge that we would listen and obey and bla bla bla, but when God answers us back with not we expected, we tend not to obey. First We say no matter what is the answer from God I will accept and do, but when He has answered we tend to rebel and disobey. A hypocrite is a person who says something and does something else. Hypocrite - His/hers words and actions are not the same or shall I say N.A.T.O - No Action Talk Only. Even when a pastor or a leader knows something about a certain person and when they confront them and that certain person is not willing to accept the correction,  yet they say i OBEY  THE VOICE OF GOD!

Let's journey together with me to the land of a hypocrites heart... Hypocrite,  a liar, a deceiver,  NATO. The bible points out many things about hypocrites. For example, Jesus always uses the Pharisees as an example of hypocrites. They do not see the specks in their eyes, but they are quick to judge others. Another example, Christians or let me say BELIEVERS they profess to know God,  but they deny Him by their works. We say we know God, we know His promises yet when trials and testings comes we began to falter.  We know the reality of the promises of Jesus, yet we always say.... I feel lonely, I feel so borings bla bla bla.... isn't that hypocrisy? Anything a hypocrite tries to hide will be exposed one day. There are many bible references to a hypocrites heart,  if you have time go search it out. So my question is simple. Have we been a hypocrite in anyways of our lives, serving God? It's time to repent. Jesus did not discipled a group of hypocrites. He discipled a group of world conquerors, not a bunch of deceivers. I am convicted when God began to open the secret of His word today and I found one word which is HYPOCRISY. In one way or another in have been a hypocrite and I choose to repent, what about you?

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

The word of God in the reality of your life...!

Jeremiah 39:18 NKJV

For I will surely deliver you, and you shall not fall by the sword; but your life shall be as a prize to you, because you have put your trust in Me,” says the Lord .’ ”

******
Shalom!  Day #210. Do you know that prize you received from God for putting your trust in Him no matter what your situations may be, is your life? Let's pray. Father, teach us to put all of our trust in You without looking at that situations we are and not giving in to the lies of the devil. Teach us dear God to trust in You alone and not in our own understanding, strength and abilities.  In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

For surely  I WILL DELIVER YOU. Do you believe? I don't know about you, but I BELIEVE! There is a song titled DON'T STOP BELIEVING.  The moment we stop trusting in God and no more a believing heart, well we would eventually DIE! Die spiritually. Why? Because we allow the world to take over our mind, heart. We allow the words of the world to infiltrate our mind and heart. All the lies of the devil we input it into our heart,  and we die spiritually. In His own words, Jesus said in John 11:40 ... IF YOU BELIEVE, YOU SHALL SEE MY GLORY. I'm holding on to this word and I've been seeing His glory! A Christian life is built based on a believing heart that hopes and trust in God. A Christian becomes spiritually strong when his or hers faith is strong in the Lord,  never be shaken, a steadfast fast faith and total trust in the Lord!

There is a reward prepared for those who trust in the Lord. The reward is LIFE. Your life shall be as a prize to you. The Lord requires us to trust Him first before even we can receive it first. Apostle Paul, oh I like this guy. Ok, well Apostle Paul said, "I believe therefore I speak." Before even he see the thing in natural realm,  he already releases the word in in the spiritual realm and he witnessed it happening in the reality of his life! We normaly take His word just for word and there is no any amount of trust and faith included and therefore we don't seeing it happening in reality.  Taking His word, trusting in His word, declaring His word and see it taking place in reality of your life. The word of God in the reality of your life! Jesus is not a magician,  but He is my Miracle Maker. Miracle happens when you are willing to believe. The willingness to believe in the extraordinary of His power, word and works! I don't just put my trust in His mere words alone but what I do is, I RECEIVE HIS WORD, I ACCEPT IT FOR THE POWER THAT IS WITHIN HIS WORD, I CLAIM IT, I DECLARE IT INTO THE SPIRITUAL REALM AND THEN I SEE IT HAPPENING IN THE NATURAL REALM! That's the way I do it. I don't know about how you do it. Abundance of life you shall receive as a prize for trusting Him.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Call to Me....!

Jeremiah 33:3, 6 NKJV

‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.

******
Shalom! Day #209. Do you know that the Lord will answer your call the moment you call to Him? Let's pray. Father, help us to be sensitive to Your voice and Your leading as we yield ourselves to You. Lord that You will reveal the mysteries of our lives, that You will show us great and mighty things which we not know of. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Calling to God is free of charge.  The network will never be interrupted. It never goes offline. It is always online 24/7. We have a 24/7 network coverage, full bar! The question is simple. HOW OFTEN WE CALL TO GOD? We always have time to talk with our loved ones, friends,  bf or gf and moreover those who are in love- countless of sms and calls. How often we call to God? Every hour? Every day? Two days once? One week once? One year once? Do you call to God when you are in need of His help, miracles or intervention,  or when you are in trouble? Or do we call upon His name every moment of our lives, either in good or bad situation? Don't let the situations of our lives determines our relationship towards God.  In good or bad, in tears or joy we still praise the Lord, Hallelujah! What happens when you call upon the Lord? Well, as He has spoken, "I WILL SHOW YOU GREAT AND MIGTY THINGS, WHICH YOU DO NOT KNOW." Things pertaining your life. His plans and purposes for your life, it is with Him.

When you call upon the Lord, He reveals to us the abundance if His peace and truth. If you know the truth, the truth will set you free! The truth of His word shall reveal the purpose of your life. The Lord brings healing and health to you when you seek Him with all your heart. Healing, Restoration, Love comes when you know the truth of His word and when you have called to Him with all your heart. Give more time for God to speak to you when you call upon Him. Do not bring your complaints to God, but bring your heart to Him. Let His reveal the great and mighty things which you do not know.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Break Free....!

Jeremiah 32:38-39 NKJV

They shall be My people, and I will be their God; then I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them.

******
Shalom! Day #208. Do you know that God gave us one heart for us to be one body of Christ and to walk the that one way which He had laid before us? Let's pray. Father, we come before You today in seeking for unity in Your body. Unite us with one heart, one purpose and mindset. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

One heart. One body. One purpose. Folks, today God  taught me about UNITY. We are the body of Christ and each part of the body has its own functions. For example, in a human body, there isn't any "walls" that would block the flow of the blood or the veins and so on. Now in the body of Christ,  we are many in one body. Now this body is not the same as the human body. Why? It's because there is this wall known as DENOMINATION! Now, the Holy Spirit is the blood that wants to flow to every members of the body, But the walls of denominations is blocking it. Revival happens when there is unity in the body of Christ. We called ourselves as the body of Christ,  but we aren't practicing it. We separate ourselves by this walls. Recently I had a bad experience from a very well know denomination church. I'm not judging, but the way they do things it's like only their denomination is holy, righteous,  set apart and so on. They will never allow pastors and leaders from other denominations to preach in their churches, or in any of their events. Even just to rent their church for a wedding event they do not allow! They are just overly religious and protective over their territory. I feel sad for them, all I can do is just to pray that God will do something!

This one heart can only be happen when there is unity in the boy of Christ. They shall be My people. To be His people, well we got to get ourselves in one track. We must allow the Holy Spirit to break through every walls of denominations, unite His body and create a massive revival! Break free from denomination mindsets and allow God to use you to bring a revival to this generation today. Jesus did not bring denominations to the world, He brought love and offered salvation. But we, created denomination walls and limit the Spirits flow! Let God break every walls of denominations and unite His body for one purpose!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

The rebuilding of you...!

Jeremiah 31:4, 12, 33 NKJV

Again I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt...Their souls shall be like a well-watered garden, And they shall sorrow no more at all. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord : I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

******
Shalom!  Day #207. Do you know the Lord our God is the Master Architect of our lives? Let's pray. Abba Father, we commit our hearts to You once again this morning so that You would rebuild our hearts and spirit once again. Recreate in us a new heart. Rebuild our lives. Renew our spirit. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

It's like watching a reality show where the people compete against each other in putting their ideas in creating something wonderful and beautiful. God is our Master builder. From brokenness of heart and humility before Him, He begins a new project. Building project. He is in progress of building a new you. God has the blueprint of your life. Allow Him to build you, your ministry, family etc. If you try to build on you own understanding, it will be like a person building his or her house on the sands of the shore, when tsunami comes, it tear downs the house. Shattered,  nothing is left. Then you got to sing Boulevard of broken dreams! Haha. When God has the masterpiece of  your life, you will be the result of the Master's touch! The perfect plan done extremely perfect! You shall be like a well-watered garden, not just one tree, but many varieties of trees! A garden. The garden of God!

The covenant which God made with us is for eternity. For us to see the building of God in our lives, first we must allow God to destroy everything that's standing on His way. The things that's in our hearts.  As the Lord says, " I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts." We must allow Him to engrave His laws, His words into our hearts,  so that when He begins the rebuilding process, we will be against it, but to submit and obey the Works that God is doing.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

And you will seek Me...!

Jeremiah 29:11, 13-14 NKJV

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord , thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord , and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord , and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.

******
Shalom!  Day #206. Do you know that the Lord will be found when hou begin to search Him with all your heart and that He would reveal the plans and your future to you? Let's pray. Father, Your word says that if we seek You with all of our heart, that we may find You. As we seek You today, give us a revelation of Yourself to us, a new impartation of Your vision and passion. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

God thinks about you 24/7. He thinks and plans the best for us. He is mindful of each and everyone of you. Yet, we always think IT BETTER FOR ME TO DO THIS WAY OR THAT WAY, THIS IS GOOD FOR ME, THAT BOY OR GIRL IS MY LIFE PARTNER etc. The question is simple, are we prayerfully seeking His counsel for everything that we want to do? You may say.... ahhh why bother God for little matters? Do you know that sometimes those little matters can lead you to a big problem? Since He knows the best for us, it is advisable that we seek His counsel in making any decisions in our life.

And the Lord says, " you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." For you to know His plans, 1st you must seek Him, not just seeking Him, but seeking Him with all YOUR HEART. When you seek Him, it's not about just He revealing His plans and purposes and future for you, but also He brings restoration, healing and revival. Seeking God with all your heart. When  you seek Him, every of your questions will be answered. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Seek Him  with all your heart.  Seek Him More!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

God is near to us...

Jeremiah 23:23, 29 NKJV

“ Am I a God near at hand,” says the Lord , “And not a God afar off? “ Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord , “And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

******
Shalom! Day #205. Do you know that the Lord our God is as far as from our mind to our hearts? Let's pray. Father, thank You for always being with us, near to us. Although we stray away from You, but You remain faithful and is there always for us and You have fill into the space of our emptiness and loneliness. We thank You Lord. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

We often think that God is at somewhere far far away kingdom and He is very far from us. For the record, GOD IS NEAR TO US. We say God is far, but the fact is we are always going far from Him, not God. We stray away from Him. A Christian living is filled with excitement when you realize the truth that God is with you, He works together with you, He mingles together with you, He works out unspeakable,  unthinkable miracles for you. But we often do say, I FEEL SO BORING, OR I FEEL LONELY. Well then go ahead claiming that you are Mr and Mrs Lonely! People who calls themselves as Christians yet don't know the truth are the ones who will claim such claims, I AM BORING, I FEEL LONELY bla bla bla. Jesus promised,  I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU. Folks, you got to understand the reality of His promise.  Not just taking it for word, but to feel, experience and to live by it. Draw near to Him, and He shall draw near to you.

We need His word shut up in our bones, heart, spirit like the fire. Like a fire shut up in our bones, burning continuously.  We claim that we know the word, but we fail to exercise the word. The Word of God must be like a fire in us. Constantly burning. If we know the truth of His word, the reality of His Word shall set us free. Sometimes it takes a sledgehammer to hammer our heads, our thinking patterns,  our stubbornness, our pride,  our heart. The reason I say this, because the way we think is not the same as how God thinks about each one of us. We need to get aligned to His ways.  If He has released a promised,  for example, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU, well then we mut take it, feel it , experience it and live by it. How to do so? Well the answer is found in our relationship with Him. When your relationship with God is strong,  you will never feel the same, will never feel bored, will never be Mr and Mrs Lonely. The Word of God must be alive in us. We sometimes suffocate the truth of His word by not putting the word into action. His Word, like a fire shut up in our bones, let it burn...let it burn!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Pride and disobedience is a curse...!

Jeremiah 22:5 NKJV

But if you will not hear these words, I swear by Myself,” says the Lord , “that this house shall become a desolation.” ’ ”

******
Shalom!  Day #204. Do you know that disobedience to God's word will literally brings  desolation spiritually to our daily walk with Him? Let's pray. Father, we come before You today seeking forgiveness from You for our disobedience. Let us not be isolated and  be desolated because of our attitude towards You, Your word and Your ways. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Disobedience towards His word, His corrections,  His rebuking, will make us to die spiritually.  Why there is disobedience? Because of PRIDE AND EGO. We always think that "It's my life and I'm the king of my life and I rule it." Now that's pride!  Jeremiah was given a mandate to warn the people because of their wrong doings, and they did not heed the warnings because of pride. Pride is a self-destructive weapon. And the wrath of God was upon them. Pride goes before destruction. Brokenness and humility before God is the beginning of healing and restoration. A heart that's not wanting and not able to be corrected will never see growth spiritually.

A rebellious spirit is a result of disobedience. Israel rebelled against God because of disobedience. You can be a Christian,  a believer but if you never deal with it, it will destroy your life. A disobedient heart, a rebellious spirit, you either inherited it from your ancestors. It may be a generational curse as well. Prideful heart, you should identify it from who you inherited it. If you aren't able to deal with it, then seek help from the Pastors or the leaders of the church. The only way is to allow God to break us. You may say I'M UNBREAKABLE AND FLEXIBLE, but when God begins to break you, there will be no room for you to be flexible. For your information,  flexible is a spirit as well. A flexible heart dangles between the worldly desires and the spirituality. It swings here and there. It tends to have a strong base,  but as a matter of fact it does not even have one. You may be actively serving, but in one way or another pride, disobedience and rebellious spirit will come up to surface one day. Jeremiah wasn't a prophet who seeks to please men with soothing words. I'm a servant of God not here to give or share good devotion,  there is a need to rebuke and reproof. I'm not a man pleaser, sorry. I rather obey God and do what He says,  then to disobey His commands and rebel against Him.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Genuineness of our heart...!

Jeremiah 20:11-12 NKJV

But the Lord  is  with me as a mighty, awesome One. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and will not prevail. They will be greatly ashamed, for they will not prosper. Their  everlasting confusion will never be forgotten. But, O Lord of hosts, You who test the righteous, And see the mind and heart, Let me see Your vengeance on them; For I have pleaded my cause before You.

******
Shalom!  Day #203. Do you know that the Lord test the righteous and He sees deep into their hearts and minds? Let's pray. Abba Father, we pray that You would search deep into our hearts and minds and see the intentions of hearts and minds today. Help us not to stray away from Your truth. In Jesus name we ask and pray,  amen!

Wowww, do you know the God that I serve is a might awesome God? He is a God who protects me from every side. People who try to harm me, He brings confusion into their camp. They will be greatly ashamed. When you a right before God, He make sure He is there always for you. He is a God who never sleep nor slumbers. No weapons that's been formed against you shall prosper.

As I mentioned earlier. A right heart attitude. God requires this from us. He test the intentions of our hearts and minds. His Spirit searches deep within our soul to see how genuine our faithfulness, love, service towards Him. A right heart attitude before the Lord. We cannot fool God by our good deeds. By doing good deeds and trying to use that to cover-up our sins is the most foolish thing a person can do. God is not excited by you good deeds,  He is excited with the genuineness of your heart and repentance. The sincerity in servig Him and doing His works. Amen!


Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord...!

Jeremiah 17:7-8 NKJV

“Blessed  is the man who trusts in the Lord , And whose hope is the Lord . For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

******
Shalom! Day #202. Do you know that those who trusts in the Lord,  will not even be bothered by the works the devil trying to do or trying to harm and that they will not fear or be anxious of anything? Let's pray. Father, we come before You today. Give us a heart that would trust You always and that we will not be shaken by the things that's happening around us. Give us an eye that would focus to You alone. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord. Why blessed? Because when we trusts in Him there is a security for us. Unbreakable, Unspeakable, unshakeable hope from God. Trust the Lord with all your heart. When you trusts in Him, there is an assurance of a miracle. When you wholly trusts in the Lord, blessing shall flow. A tree planted by the streams of water and the leaves never dry.

Be anxious for nothing. Those who trust in the Lord shall never fear any fiery darts of the devil. Those who trust in Him firmly, the bible says we are more than conquerors - no devil can touch us. Those who trusts in the Lord,  no matter what the doctor's may say about his or her conditions, but continues to trust in His life giving Word! The doctor's word is not the finality of your life.  His word determines your life,  His word is the finality. Be wholly committed to trust Him and not on your own understanding. Amen!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Our God is an Awesome God and He is the One True God...!

Jeremiah 10:10, 12 NKJV

But the Lord  is the true God; He is  the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth will tremble, And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation. He has made the earth by His power, He has established the world by His wisdom, And has stretched out the heavens at His discretion.

******
Shalom!  Day #201. Do you know that we have one true God and He is the living God and the everlasting King? Let's pray. Father, thank You for giving us the privilege to be Your Prince and Princess. We acknowledge that there is no other god but You alone, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Recently I visited a 19 years old girl in a hospital. She was diagnosed with leukemia. For the first time in my life I really felt that Lord this is not right, she deserves to live. As I was praying for her, there is this deep stirring in my that says she will not go for the bone marrow transplant operation. I ask why, He said she will be healed completely by then with one condition,  if only she believe with her whole heart. I was excited to hear that and I shared it with her. Then after we prayed for her, then we came back. I'm still in touch with this girl till today. Doing some required follow-ups. Since the day I met her, I'm sms-ing her the Word of God daily, to stir up her faith to pray and to believe. I was moved by her request that she wants to join my band next year for mission trip. I told her that, you will come and I will bring you to testify of His unspeakable miracle! Yesterday,  as I was chatting with her, she told me that after the prayer, the following day she vomited, and wasn't feeling well. I believe that the generation curse of cancer have been broken in Jesus name! She said from 47% of cancer,  now it remain only 0.01% and I was like wowwwwwww hallelujah! My God is able, and He is faithful! I told just believe and continue to pray. The blood of Jesus is filling your body now. I share this testimony because I want to prove to you that My God, the God that I serve is the ONE TRUE GOD, HE IS ALIVE AND LIVING FOREVERMORE! THERE IS NO GOD BESIDES MY GOD! !

God is the Creator of heaven and earth and everything that's in it. He gave life and He takes life. But when I pray, I know firmly that He hears my prayer and He answers it. I will wrestle with Him until He answers my prayer! I am astonished by His works and miracles! It's a privilege to serve Him!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Metanoeo....!

Jeremiah 7:3 NKJV

Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

******
Shalom!  Day #200. Do you know that in order to follow the Lord,  we first must correct our ways? Let's pray. Father, help us to review our ways and correct it according to Your will and aligned it according to Your ways. In Jesus name we pray, amen!

Amend in greek word is METANOEO which means to change one's mind, to repent. Todays passage of the scripture has taught me something. Everyday I share this devotion to everyone of you is because what the Lord has taught me, I share it to everyone else. So for today, the Lord with a simple words He is telling us to change the our ways and our doings, or to repent and to be realigned to His ways. We may claim to be Christians,  but do you know that our ways and doings are most of the time not inline with God's ways and doings! We tend to do things our ways and ending up in disaster. Lack of spending time with God and waiting in His presence to get His counsel on how to go about doing things. Folks, we must repent of this. Personally, God opened my eyes to see in which area I am slacking. My ways, my doings aren't pleasing Him and I must repent,  correct it and change the way I do things or even live. As I mentioned earlier, I'm not the "holy Joe." I'm a human being with all weakness. I know my condition and that's why I willingly allowing God to do whatever it takes to clean me up, to restore me, to discipline me, to teach me.

When we are inline with His ways and doings,  God will cause you to dwell in this place. I was asking God, what place? And the answer I got is, whatever we do shall prosper, in the place we stay - our home shall be blessed it shall be like the Joseph's store, our works prosper and bear fruits. Now for this to happen, we need to allow the Holy Spirit to search deep within us and to expose to us the things in our life which are not inline with Him. Then repent.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Are you circumcised...?

Jeremiah 4:4 NKJV

Circumcise yourselves to the Lord , And take away the foreskins of your hearts, You men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Lest My fury come forth like fire, And burn so that no one can quench it, Because of the evil of your doings.”

******
Shalom! Day #199. Do you know that God requires the circumcise our foreskin of our hearts? Let's pray. Father,  change our hearts and make it clean. Let our hearts be circumcised and be fully devoted to You alone. In Jesus name we ask and we pray, amen!

Circumcision is a Jewish custom. Every male is compulsory to circumcised. But today God is not talking about the circumcision of the males foreskin. He is asking each and every believers, be it male or female, to circumcised the foreskin of their hearts. The foreskin of sin. The circumcision of our sinful nature. Why there is a need to circumcised our foreskin of our heart? What does it means? In order to be aligned with God's will, first we must allow God to cut off the foreskin of our heart - all the sinful nature, the ties to the world, fleshly desires, disobedience, and every other things that hinders us from walking in alignment with His will. We may claim to say that I AM A CHRISTIAN but that doesn't makes you a Christian. A Christian by name and generation. I'm not saying that I am all knowing and all holy and all good. Trust me, I am the worst of the worst. There are certain things being a hindrance in my life between me and God. I acknowledged it and I allow God to do the circumcision process. God gave Abraham and his descendants the mark of circumcision as a physical reminder that they were cut out from the world, that is, to set apart to serve the one, true Lord. The act of circumcision in the Old Testament is actually an act of covenant between God and Abraham. A mark of being chosen and set apart. The circumcision of the foreskin of our hearts is the mark of being His child and doing His will.

Jeremiah was sent to preach to the covenant community of Israel and call the people to repent from their wicked ways. Circumcision of the physical foreskin alone does not give us the salvation that we need and trusting in the physical circumcision for spiritual and physical blessings will not guarantee anything. They have to experience the inner reality of a circumcised heart. The total 180 degrees turn and coming back to God. The Lord's covenant of salvation has always been a covenant of the heart. Are we willing to allow God to cut off the foreskin of our hearts today? Our heart is now being covered by the foreskin. And it is preventing the Truth of His word from penetrating deep into our hearts. Yes, His word I sharper than any two edged sword, but God does not force Himself into anyone's life. When the foreskin is being cut off then our heart is exposed fully to the truth of His word and salvation. Our eyes are opened to see His plans and His will for our life. Again, are we willing to allow God to cut off the foreskin of our hearts today?

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Do not say that I am a youth...!

Jeremiah 1:7-8, 19 NKJV

But the Lord said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord . They will fight against you, But they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you,” says the Lord , “to deliver you.”

******
Shalom! Day #198. Do you know that the Lord has delivered your from the hands of those who will fight against you? Let's pray. Father, give us a heart of obedience that we may obey whatever You command us to do and to go wherever You ask us to go. Let Your word speak to us today. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Do not despise yourself because you are young. Do not say that i am a youth. In Christian living there are 2 stages as for my knowledge. First stage, the baby Christians.  This stage Christians are new believers that needs a person to teach them, guide them, disciple them because they are new believers who just accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior. The second stage is the matured Christians.  In this stage,  matured Christians,  they are independent. They are bold and strong. They possesses an unshakeable faith. They do great and mighty things for God. Ok, now in this two stages, age does not count. It means, in stage one there are teenagers, youth, adults and also older people same goes to the second stage. We can be 10 years old Christian or Christian by generation, still we can be baby christians. The level of spiritual maturarity is stagnant and not progressing. Therefore in this verse, God is trying to tell us stop being a baby Christian all the while and begin to grow. Let your spiritual level grow. No more just drinking milk only, but start digesting solid foods. Do not say that I am a youth. Do not say OH GOD I AM NOT READY YET. When God gives you an opportunity, He knows that you are fit for it and that's why He opens the door for you. Why we say I am not ready, it's because we are not bold to step into the door which He has opened. When God commands you to do something, you better do it without giving reasons. Be prepared in and out of season.

And the Lord says, DO NOT BE AFRAID. Not only that and He continued saying FOR I AM WITH YOU TO DELIVER YOU! Do not be afraid whether people will receive you or not. Even if they fight against you, they shall not prevail against you.  The prophets in the bible, many were rejected because people they just want to hear to good things only. When a prophet give a warning, the people begin to persecute the prophets and harm them. Be bold and be strong. Do not despise yourself for you are young by age or young by the level of your spiritual maturity. God has chosen you for a reason, so do what He has commanded you to do. Stop reasoning and complaining. God is not interested in your reasons and complaining.  He is interested in a person who would say HERE I AM LORD, USE ME, without questioning and reasoning.  Just do it!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

He knows what you need, when you need and why you need...!

Isaiah 65:24 NKJV

“It shall come to pass That before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear.

******
Shalom! Day #197. Do you know that God knows what you need, when you need, why you need certain things even before you ask Him? Let's pray. Father, You are all knowing God. You know when I rise and when I sleep. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. If I say, "Surely the darkness shall fall on me," Even the night shall be light about me; Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You. For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. Thank You Father.  In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

God knows what you need,  when you need, why you need certain things, even before you ask, He has prepared it for you. Yet He wants you to ask Him first. Why? It is because when you ask prayerfully, your faith gets activated and you received the miracle that you need  because you believed.  Every little things which is big in your eyes is small in His eyes, and He knows you need it. He is faithful and He is able to do anything before you ask simply because you are precious in His eyes. While you are speaking about it, He hears it and answers it to you.

He is faithful and He is able to do anything before you ask. I have a testimony to share. Last week I lead a team for missions. Before we go, we took 1 month time to pray. They only thing I prayed was for open heavens. Even before I start to pray, God assured that there will be open heavens.  The rest of the trip was filled with unspeakable miracles! God knows what you need, when you need and why you meed it. Yet you got to ASK Him first. He did not say, "since I knew what you need therefore you do not need to ask." But He said, ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU! How? With prayers and supplication. Believe that God has given it to you. Give thanks.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

He is the potter and we are the clay...!

Isaiah 64:4, 8 NKJV

For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, Nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him. But now, O Lord , You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand.

******
Shalom! Day #196. Do you know that the Lord acts for those who wait on Him? Let's pray. Father, You are the potter and we are the clay, mold us and make us according to Your ways, Your will, You plan and Your purpose for us today. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Now to clarify the history of the world, people say this god was 1st, that god was 1st. Now let me tell you something here. It is written in this verse FOR SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD MEN HAVE NOT HEARD NOR PERCEIVED BY THE EAR, NOR HAS THE EYE SEEN ANY GOD BESIDES YOU. Simple,  there is no other god beside our God Jehovah,  One and only Living God. This is a written prove that our God Jehovah, He was and Is and is God since the beginning of this world! No other gods besides Him alone, the True Living One! Eyes has not seen any other "gods" who act on behalf of the people except our God who created this world and everything in it. No eyes has witnessed the mighty works of other "gods" except our One and Living God! God acts on behalf of those who wait for Him patiently with all perseverance and with a believing heart that our God is mighty to save you no matter what your situation is. I'm mentioning it here boldly THERE IS NO OTHER "GOD" BESIDES OUR GOD JEHOVAH!

This same God, is the one who moulded us in our mothers womb. Adam was taken from dust and God made him into human being. We are also taken from clay and He molds us according to His will, His plans, His purposes for our lives. We who have been saved by His grace and mercy today, have the privilege to serve Him. We are here today because of the works of His hands. Jesus only plan was the redemption for humankind.  And His plans and purposes for us is to bring the human race into His redemption plans, His saving grace! Are we willing to say today You are the Potter and I am the clay, make me according to how You want me to be? Allow God to mold and shape our lives today.


Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Today is the day of your salvation and redemption...!

Isaiah 62:2-3, 8 NKJV

The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, And all kings your glory. You shall be called by a new name, Which the mouth of the Lord will name. You shall also be a crown of glory In the hand of the Lord , And a royal diadem In the hand of your God. The Lord has sworn by His right hand And by the arm of His strength: “Surely I will no longer give your grain As food for your enemies; And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine, For which you have labored.

******
Shalom! Day #195. Do you know that people shall see the salvation and the redemption power of God which is at work in you as you live a righteous and a blameless life before God? Let's pray. Father, help us to be the vessels that carries Your power of salvation and redemption to the people and that they may witness Your power and miracles in their lives and turn back to You. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

This is the day that the Lord has made known to you, your salvation is near, your freedom has come, every chain's has been broken and it has come, happen today!!!

What belongs to you will be rightfully yours and no devil can take It away!  Your grains shall not be given to the enemies. And the foreigner shall not drink from you new wine. Not one shall come near the things you have labored.  Again I say, today is the day of your salvation and redemption.... Are you ready?

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me...!

Isaiah 61:1-3, 6 NKJV

“The Spirit of the Lord God  is upon Me, Because the Lord  has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those  who  are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord , And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord , that He may be glorified.” But you shall be named the priests of the Lord , They shall call you the servants of our God. You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, And in their glory you shall boast.

******
Shalom!  Day #194. Do you know that you have been chosen for a purpose? Let's pray. Father we acknowledged that Your spirit is upon us. Help us to do the ministry which You've entrusted to us this day. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

To every believer is given freely the Spirit of God. Holy Spirit equips each and everyone of us to do greater works. His Spirit gives us the boldness we need to preach the Gospel. His Spirit enables us to do great and mighty things. His Spirit gives us the strength we need to go extra mile in doing His works. The Spirit of the Lord makes us to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth. The Spirit of the Lord gives us the garment of praise instead of a heavy heart. Praise and worship unto God breaks every yoke and bondages.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon us so that we may be the planting of the Lord, trees of righteousness that through us, He may be glorified.  The most honorable position or a status a person can have is to be called as the Priest of the Lord, and that people acknowledges you as the servants of God. Many people thinks that being a servant of God will have a poor living. Let me tell you onething. You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles. His blessings never ends. Always abounding in grace and mercy filled with favor and blessing. Unstoppable and unlimited blessings, favor, grace, mercy.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Shall not depart...!

Isaiah 59:21 NKJV

“As for Me,” says the Lord , “this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants’ descendants,” says the Lord , “from this time and forevermore.”

******
Shalom! Day #193. Do you know that the Spirit of God and the Word of God in us shall never depart from us? Let's pray.  Father, take not Thy Holy Spirit from us and let You word to dwell richly in us as we dwell in the richness of Your word. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

The Lord made a covenant with us. His Spirit upon us and His word in our mouth shall never depart from us. What God has given He won't take back. But life and death is in the hands of God. He gives life and takes it back. Why we feel like it's taken away because of our spiritual blindness and we aren't able to see it when we fell into sin. In psalms 51:11 King David says, ... and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. But as for other things, such as gifting,  talents, His Holy Spirit and etc, He gives but doesn't takes it back. In Job 1 it talks about him losing his possessions and his family members, but despite losing all his physical possessions,  he did not lose his spiritual inheritance - in which we learn from this verse today.

So, when the Lord says from your mouth nor your descendents, nor your descendents' descendents. It mean the inheritance of the Spiritual blessing,  gifting, talents, His Holy Spirit remains forever, for eternity.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

He satisfies my soul....!

Isaiah 58:11, 14 NKJV

The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord ; And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

******
Shalom! Day #192. Do you know that even in the season of drought God satisfies our souls and strengthens our bones? Let's pray. Father, as we come before You today, we pray that You would fill us anew and satisfy our souls that's experiencing drought and that You would strengthen our bones from becoming weak. Thank You Father. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

When we allow God to control of our lives, He will be responsible to guide us continually. Like a Shepherd guiding His flocks, He shall guide and protect us from every attacks of the devil. He satisfies your soul when you go through drought. Are you experiencing spiritual dryness in your spiritual walk today? Allow Him to water your heart with the rivers of Life. You shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water. As He gives you life, you too get ready to impart that LIFE to others.  Water must flow, if we try to compressed it, then it will burst out. When we allow God to be the Lord of our lives, you will experience great and mighty things with Him beside you.

Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord ; And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the Lord has spoken. When you allow God to be the King of your life, and as we humble ourselves before Him, He said you shall not be the tail but be th head. He will cause you to ride on the high hills of earth.  High hills speaks about safety, protection, fame, good name, popularity. Be aware. Safety and protection os from God but at the same time come fame, name, popularity from the devil. The Lord make sure that His providence continues in you life. You shall not go in lack. Therefore serve the Lord humbly and live a live according to His ways and you shall see all this overflows in your life.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

To revive the spirit of humble and the contrite ones..!

Isaiah 57:15, 18 NKJV

For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones. I have seen his ways, and will heal him; I will also lead him, And restore comforts to him And to his mourners.

******
Shalom! Day #191. Do you know that the Lord lifts up the humble and contrite spirit? Let's pray. Father, as Your word says that You will not despise the broken and contrite in spirit. Father, that You would brings healing and restoration into their hearts today. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

God dwells with those who has a contrite and humble spirit. Those who are haughty,  well God Himself will teach them a lesson. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. He restores and heal those who humble themselves before God. He revives those who are contrite.  Come to God not with all your might, talents, gifts, but come to Him in zero condition and allow Him to refill us again. Take time to rest in Him and to be refilled with new strength to do new greater works for Him. For example, after every revival meetings or mission trips which I organized, I will take a day off from everything I do, even from my work because I want to rest in Him to allow Him to refill me with new strength for the new greater works that's ahead of me. I acknowledge that I am nothing without God. I am not a SUPERHUMAN,  I have my strength and my weaknesses as well. As I humble myself before God and come to Him in brokenness and contrite spirit, He shall not despise me but He revives me, restores me, restrengthens me for the new greater works that's ahead of me. I need His strength and His energy. Not my might and power.

God has seen our ways, our good and wicked ways yet He says that He will heal them, will lead them, restore and comfort them. The reason God does this because He loves us and He wants to reach out to us so that we can reach out to others.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Seek. Call...!

Isaiah 55:6, 8-9 NKJV

Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord . “For  as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

******
Shalom! Day #190. Do you know that His ways and plans are not in a row with ours? Let's pray. Father,  we come to You this morning. We pray that You would craft Your will, desires, plans, purposes, thoughts, and Your ways into our hearts today. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Most of us like to do things on our own ways without consulting God first. But when the things we do seems like not yielding any results,  then we come to God begging for His grace and mercy. Seek the Lord while He may be found. The bible says seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. SEEK FIRST, it says, not seek later, but making it as our main priority before we start doing anything or making any decision, to seek the Lord and His counsel. When we tend to do things our ways, we always ending up in creating a disaster upon ourselves. Why bother seeking the Lord first, when we can do things ourselves? You may ask this question. The answer is simple. Because God has already seen our future and the things we going to do and He knows it, oh yes He knows it very well of what's going to happen when we forsake the Lord's ways of doing things.

Call upon Him while He is near. When call upon the Lord, He will answer you. In Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV says, ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ When you call upon the Lord,  He will answer you and share His heart, thoughts,  plans, purposes, desires and His ways to us. He will literally show us things that are to come - revelation, a new vision, passion,  purpose,  plans, and every great and mighty works which He has prepared for us. We always think the ways and plan the plans that we know and yet it may give some fruits, but not everlasting. But if we seek and call upon Him first, then He would give the best plan you could ever have. His ways are higher than ours. His thoughts are higher than ours. His plans are extraordinarily and extremely superb and excellent.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Go, enlarge your tent...!

Isaiah 54:2-4, 17 NKJV

“Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes. For you shall expand to the right and to the left, And your descendants will inherit the nations, And make the desolate cities inhabited. “Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame; For you will forget the shame of your youth, And will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord , And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.

******
Shalom! Day #189. Do you know that you have an absolute heritage in the Lord where no men has? Let's pray. Father, as we commit our lives, ministries and everything we are into Your hands, we speak Your enlargement and Your expansion into our lives. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Tent means your dwelling place or tabernacle of God. Enlarge your tent means to enlarge the tabernacle of God of the Kingdom of God. Everyone is entrusted with expanding the Kingdom,  the ministry and the Name of God.  When you expand, it means you are going in and conquering the place, inhabiting it, and establishing the kingdom of God. The place where your foot step, you claim it in the name of Jesus.  Build the Kingdom of God. I'm not speaking about the physical building, but the body of Christ,  the church of God.

When you advanced in His kingdom, no devil can stop you and the works of God. No weapons formed against you shall prosper. Every tongue that condemns and curse you shall not be able to stand against you. This is the heritage which God has prepared for us. So boldly do His works never stop never quit at any reason. 

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

In whom I will be glorified....!

Isaiah 49:3 NKJV

“And He said to me, ‘You are My servant, O Israel, In whom I will be glorified.’

******
Shalom!  Day #188. Do you know that each one of you God has chosen specifically for a specific purpose that He will be glorified through us? Let's pray. Father, that we may be the vessels of Your glory this day. A vessel that's filled with Your glory. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

One day  I heard the Lord spoke to me saying IF YOU BELIEVE, THEN YOU SHALL SEE MY GLORY. Then during a youth revival meeting,  I heard again the Lord spoke to me saying YOU SHALL BE MY VESSEL OF GLORY. John 11:40 NKJV
Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” And today the Lord is saying, YOU ARE MY SERVANT IN WHOM I WILL BE GLORIFIED....! Who am I for the Lord to choose me and called me to be His servant!  In every ways I'm not worthy of His call, even I'm not worthy to serve Him because I'm the chief of all sinners.  I have fallen greatly.  Now I'm pushing myself to rise up again from my fall and the Lord is working in me till this hour. Seriously,  people,  I am not what you are thinking of, I'm filled with filth. But because of His grace and His mercy, He is building me up from my total destruction. I want to see more of His glory in my life, and therefore I'm willing to go through the disciplines and the correction of God in my life.

In whom I will be glorified. To be the vessel of His glory first we must be WILLING to say Here I am Lord. Secondly,   WILLING heart to be used by God.  Thirdly,  a WILLING faith to step in by faith and to do the things God require us to do.  Finally a WILLING heart to believe.  So are you willing? Do you wany to believe? Do you want to see His glory? I want oh yes I want!!! Let us be the door where God can step in and through us He reveals His glory.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Precious, precious...!

Isaiah 48:10 NKJV

Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

******
Shalom! Day #187. Do you know that when the Lord begins the refining process, it means that He is bringing out the best from inside out from you? Let's pray. Father, refine us, burn us from inside out. Let Your fire be shut up in our bones and never be put off. Refine us with Your fire until we become that precious gold. In Jesus name we aks and pray, amen!

The Lord takes you by His hand, He then molds you, create you into a beautiful vessel. It's like a raw gold being tested and burned into the refiners fire until it becomes that precious gold. When God begins to refine us, burn us, test us, how do we result in? Are we resulted in failure - meaning to say that we aren't able to go through it or we become the final product,  that precious,  precious gold! Oh precious, His precious! Refining process is to bring the best out us, to be used in His works. We are tested and refined, and we have proven to be that precious gold!

Normaly we are tested during affliction, to see how strong we are able to be, to see how firm we would trust God,  to see how precious we would become after being tested and refined. You are capable of doing the things which you have not done before. It's a matter of time for God to unleash you into His works. Now He is refining you, to bring the best out of you and to use it for His purpose. Are you willing to be refined? Are you ready to be used by God? Do you want to be that precious, precious gold? Then allow God to purge, prune, refine and be ready to be tested! Refiners fire, my hearts one desire, is to be with You, Lord!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

I will deliver you...!

Isaiah 46:3-4 NKJV

“Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of the house of Israel, Who have been upheld by  Me from birth, Who have been carried from the womb: Even to your old age, I am He, And even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you.

******
Shalom!  Day #186. Do you know that the Lord took you from the womb of your mother, has been with you all the while till now and forever? Let's pray. Father, we thank You for being there for us all this while. Forgive us for not acknowledging Your presence in our lives.  Here today we come again to you in total surrender. Come and have Your ways. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

The Lord had upheld us since from birth till this day. We sometimes forget that the Lord is with us. He has been faithfully there with us since our birth. We always tend to find a way to seek counsel of people 1st before God becomes our last resort.  But for the fact, God has been with us all this while

The Lord  who made you is able to care for you, carry you , bear you, deliver you from the hands of the enemies. He is mighty to save! This is a simple sharing with profound truth. If you know the truth, then the truh shall set you free from every question,  enemies,  troubles.  Have a great day ahead...!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

I will give you...!

Isaiah 45:3 NKJV

I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places, That you may know that I, the Lord , Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.

******
Shalom! Day #185. Do you know that you have the treasures of the darkness taken from the wicked and given to His chosen ones? Let's pray. Father, we come to You today. We thank You for Your providence and we are assured that You have prepared the best for us. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places. His promises to His chosen ones the treasures of the darkness and hidden riches of the secret places. Now what is the treasures of the darkness and hidden riches of the secret places? There is a verse in the bible,  it says that THE RICHES OF THE WICKED SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE RIGHTEOUS ONE OF GOD. Treasures of darkness means the treasures that the wicked has shall be given to us - 1st treasure. Hidden riches of secret place means, again, there is a word in the Bible says that God made our frame in the secret place therefore our second treasure is hidden in that secret place. To get to the secret place and to find it, it's only through prayer.  When you seek God, His kingdom and His righteousness,  then every other things that you need shall be added to you. The secret place, the hidden treasure,  the treasure of the darkness.

As you serve Him, the guaranteed blessings of God shall be yours. Serve Him with all your hearts, with eyes focused upon Jesus.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

I will pour water on him who is thirsty...!

Isaiah 44:3, 8 NKJV

For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, And floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, And My blessing on your offspring; Do not fear, nor be afraid; Have I not told you from that time, and declared it? You are My witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there  is no other Rock; I know not one. ’ ”

******
Shalom!  Day #184! Do you know that the Lord gives freely to everyone who asks of Him, to fill those who thirst and to revive those who are dry? Let's pray. Father,  we come to You today. Our hearts thirst and longs for You. Come and fill us today. Let Your anointing brings forth breakthrough in our lives today. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Is your spirit thirsty and there is a need to be filled? Is your soul experiencing drought, spiritual dryness? If you are thirsty then come to God and He shall fill you . Water symbolizes life. Therefore the more you thirst the more you are filled by His abundance of life. Flood can mean disaster and abundance.  Your spirit is dry therefore you need this flood, the unstoppable rain to rain upon the spiritual dry ground. Which means you need to open up your heart and allow God to pour down the abundance of His Spirit upon you today.  When this happens, then you shall experience breakthrough in your spiritual life. Let there be open heavens upon your lives today where u can experience the free unstoppable flow of His Spirit.

Every servants of God must have this spiritual disciplines.  Fasting and praying.  How to be filled with His Spirit? Only through fasting and prayer.  God has chosen us to be His witnesses. Not just witnesses,  but a witness that's daily being empowered by the Holy Spirit. Empowered  witnesses.  Empowered servants.  Empowered leadership. Openness before God is the key to empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Shall you not know it...?

Isaiah 43:19 NKJV

Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.

******
Shalom! Day #183. Do you know that God is able to make a way for you when you're lost in the wilderness and rivers of water in the desert to satisfy your thirst? Let's pray! Father, we want to experience the new things which You have prepared for us today. Open doors of new opportunities for us today. A new road for us to journey on. Thank You Lord.  In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

The Lord is saying today, what do you want to see happen in your life? Call it into existence.  Behold I will do a new thing today! We need to be aware of the seasons of God and be quick to move as He moves. When you are aware of His timing, you won't be left out. It doesn't matter what you have gone through, the changes, the new work, the things  which God is bringing about in your life not because He is keep on changing His plans, but He is making us to be aligned to His plans and purposes as He begin to do new things is our lives.

I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. God will make a ways when there seems to be no way. A new road for us to journey on. Rivers of water to satisfy our thirst. When we are at the crossroads of our lives, wondering what to do next, clueless about what our future holds, there the Lord opens a new way for you. A new horizon, a new opportunity. The Lord opens  new door, a new way for you today. Step in by faith and journey with Him.

I tell it you before it happens....

Isaiah 42:9 NKJV

Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.”

******
Shalom! Day #182. Do you know that you got to let go of the former things first, then you can see the news things which God is bringing about in your lives? Let's pray. Father, we want to step into the new things which You are bringing about in our lives today. Help us to let go of the past and run towards the goal which You have prepared for us. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Blessed July! The former prophecies pertaining to your life has come to past. Now, do not be satisfied,  or discouraged or be stagnant by it, or be excited, you got to move on to the next level of your life. It is just the beginning of a new dawn,  a new work of God in your life today. The Lord affirms and confirms His promises to us by saying that our names are engraved in His palms and He has a better and bright future for us. Apostle Paul says, forgetting what is behing and running forward to attain the winning prize in Christ Jesus.  Do not let your past be your future. Many people say this "because of my past I am like this." Actually is it not your past that determines your future,  it is in how determined are we to bring or to experience a change in our lives.

Before they spring forth I tell you of them. Before even any events happens in our lives, the Lord reveals it to us first of the things that He's going to do. No, I'm not asking you to run ahead of God.  I'm asking you to run together with God as He brings you according to the running track He has designed for each one of us. This month, I believe that the Lord has extraordinary plans for each one of you.  Be prepared for anything. 

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
