Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms.” Psalms 68:19 NLT Finally beloved, Psalm 16:2 ESV says, “ I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.” Yes we are the weak vessels, but the Lord is our strength. For our wealth is not defined by our possessions, our health is not defined by our sickness free life, rather Christ in you does. The Lord said in Matthew 12:42 ESV, “The queen of the South will rise up at the ju

Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms.” Psalms 68:19 NLT Beloved, let us come to Christ in all our weaknesses . It does not matter the nature of our challenges, be it addictions, anxiety etc. He will surely carry you. Remember, we were chosen at our weakest point, just to display the glory of His grace. Ephesians 2:6-7 ESV says, “and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the c

Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms.” Psalms 68:19 NLT My order for dumbbells was delivered to the wrong house. So I traced it to the house. The person that received it was struggling to lift it, but I lifted and carried it easily and happily. The person exclaimed, “this is really the true owner! Jesus is our true owner, He lifted us from the garbage dump and carries us joyfully day by day, we are not too heavy for Him. Despite our

PRAY FOR YOUR LAND “ Teach the king to judge with your righteousness, O God; share with him your own justice, so that he will rule over your people with justice and govern the oppressed with righteousness. May the land enjoy prosperity; may it experience righteousness.” Psalm 72:1-3 GNT WE PRAY FOR THE LEADERS OF OUR LANDS TO BE COMPASSIONATE, AND RULE THE PEOPLE WITH JUSTICE AND FAIRNESS. WE PRAY THAT OUR LAND AND THOSE OF THE WHOLE WORLD WILL ENJOY TRUE PROSPERITY AND EXPE

And the Lord appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land of which I shall tell you. Genesis 26:2 ESV In the previous devotional, I mentioned that famines represent weaknesses we go through in our health and wellbeing, finances, marriages etc. They entered our lives because of the sin of Adam. But where sin increases, grace outweighs it making the power of God mighty through righteousness. The sweetest part is that not only is the power of God mighty

Timothy, my dear son, be strong through the grace that God gives you in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 2:1 NLT Beloved, let us make this year, a year of grace, learn to surrender to God in all things.

Romans 8:29 NLT says, “For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become l

And the Lord appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land of which I shall tell you. Genesis 26:2 ESV In our theme, Isaac wanted to run to Egypt because of famine in the land but God told him not to. The famines in our lives are not necessarily for us to live in worries and despair as in the old life. Rather, they are opportunities for us to display the glory of His grace bestowed upon us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 1:5-6 ESV says, “he predestined us f

The angel came to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women.” Luke 1:28 MEV Psalms 44:3 MEV says, “For they did not take possession of the land by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, and Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because You favored them.” The Israelites victory was not by their power, rather because God's favor was upon them. The Hebrew word translated a

PRAY FOR YOUR LAND Isaiah 9:4 NLT says, “For you will break the yoke of their slavery and lift the heavy burden from their shoulders. You will break the oppressor’s rod, just as you did when you destroyed the army of Midian.” HEAVENLY FATHER, AS WE JOYFULLY CELEBRATE THE NATIVITY OF YOUR BELOVED SON AND OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, WE PRAY THAT THE YOKE OF SLAVERY AND THE ROD OF THOSE WHO OPPRESS OUR LAND AND THOSE OF THE WHOLE WORLD BE BROKEN IN JESUS NAME AMEN!

Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold, the young woman who is unmarried and a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel Isaiah 7:14 AMPC We are like virgins who can only bear fruit through the power of the Holy Spirit. When Mary asked the angel how she could bear a child since she was a virgin, the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you” (Luke 1:35 ESV) Let us

O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord. Isaiah 2:5 ESV Luke 1:78-79 ESV says, “ because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” Man was not created to live in darkness. Psalm 104:20-23 ESV says, “You make darkness, and it is night, when all the beasts of the forest creep about….When the sun rises, they

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased! Luke 2:14 ESV 2 Corinthians 5:16 ESV, “From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. “ The world did not recognize Jesus because all He is, was hidden in God. He was in oneness with God. In the same way, All you see about us is not all that it is, we are in oneness with God. All that

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased! Luke 2:14 ESV There was famine in the land. In Genesis 26:2 ESV God told Isaac, “Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land of which I shall tell you.” Isaac obeyed, and God blessed Him abundantly. Genesis 26:12 ESV says, “and Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. The Lord blessed him” Famines in our lives, be it financial, marital, health, etc are not opportuni

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased! Luke 2:14 ESV Isaiah 31:1 ESV says, “ Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help and rely on horses, who trust in chariots because they are many and in horsemen because they are very strong, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel or consult the Lord!” That God sent the Israelites to Egypt for help from famine does not mean they had to rely on Egypt for help in times of famine. It was strat

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased! Luke 2:14 ESV The Greek word translated as peace in our theme verse is “Eirene” meaning to set at one again. The angels were rejoicing that God and man are set at one again, a seamless union! Our troubles are not to destroy us, but for us to live in this consciousness. Psalm 46:1-2 ESV says, “ God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though t

PRAY FOR YOUR LAND Jeremiah 23:5-6 ESV says, “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is the name by which he will be called: ‘The Lord is our righteousness.’ WE ARE IN HIS DAYS, NOW IS THE TIME OF SALVATION.

the Lord, whose promises I praise. Psalm 56:10 GNT There is joy in knowing that irrespective of all troubles we experienced in this world, we cannot be broken or caged by them, for the word of God gave birth to us and cannot be caged (2 Timothy 2:9) Whenever we go through trials of any kind, we should focus on the Lord by drawing life from His words, by intertwining our thoughts with His thoughts. The more we align our thoughts with His thoughts, the more we are transformed i

He told them another parable, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field. This indeed is the least of all seeds, but when it has grown, it is the greatest among herbs and is a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.” Matthew 13:31-32 MEV If you are waiting on God for anything let's say for healing , think of when you received one before. Even if it is something minor like a headache, stan

“His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us. Acts 17:27 NLT Finally, beloved, Colossians 2:6 NLT says, “And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him.” We should not have the mindset that now we are in Christ we need to do a good thing to receive from Him, for we were not saved because we did something good. Ephesians 2:9 NLT says. “ S
