Worry is the absence of the Lord’s Assurance.
Fear is also the lack of faith.
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Devotional for Monday March 18, 2024
Topic: Keep remembering the Privileges God gave us. Stand-up and tell it to others….
Text: Philippians 4: 4-9 (NKJV)
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Meditate on These Things
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
Here what to Tell and shout it out from the mountain tops…
Philippians 2New International Version (NIV)
Imitating Christ’s Humility
2 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God, the Father. (End of Text)
Today as many congregations gather to worship the Lord… let us come let every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Remember that the love of God that radiates to us this Sunday should be shared with many and to Imitate Christ’s Humility… and do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
The foregoing is somewhat a tall-order as some will rebuff or debase your humility. Why? Kindness is often mistaken for weakness. This is why the Gift of Salvation so ‘Freely-given’ is often overlooked and material things takes precedent. Do not envy the wealth of others, because in your heart you should know that your ’Real-Wealth’ is the truest wealth of all, as in your heart there rings a melody, and this is the love of Christ. Knowing that in Christ all things are possible.
Philippians 4:13New International Version (NIV)
13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength. †
We have so much to tell…
Coming to the Lord: These are the saying of Jesus…
Good News -His Faithfulness: Come to Christ today, acknowledge Him as His Word stated…
Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved.’ In Context | Full Chapter |
Prayer: Father in Heaven, in Jesus our Lord and savior we come. Lord as we gather we are assured that You Lord Jesus is in our midst and You are our Mediator to the Father. Lord we thank You for Your Divine Grace and we thank you Lord for the privilege of serving You and for our many Visitors. Lord bless each of our Visitors as we Praise You and give You the Glory, we thank You Lord that whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. Lord Jesus to You is the Power and the Glory now and forevermore… Amen.

Devotional for Sunday March 17, 2024
Only by and through Christ.
Romans 5:1 New International Version (NIV)
Peace and Hope
5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Commentary:
That I am made acceptable to God only by Christ…. I must be accepted for Christ’s sake, from the day that He Redeemed me and throughout all of my life, it is only by His Grace and nothing I do can ever will replace His Grace. So, I am only accepted by God for Christ’s sake.
I can never rely on my own morality and religious relationship without acknowledging the Grace of God through Jesus my Redeemer.
There’s nothing i will ever do that makes me acceptable to God. I must be accepted for Christ’s sake, not only when I first believed but for all of my life.
I must know I’m justified through faith in Christ, and I am made perfect by His Grace that Justifies me. I must live this in my daily experience, and be aware that I can never look to my own performance for acceptance with God?
Ephesians 2:8-9 New International Version (NIV)
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast
2 Peter 3:8
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
Jesus foretold the future, which is relative to our current time, as we see the events of the world… Christians persecuted and killed, Jesus said; ‘the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God’, yet Jesus did say… in Verse 7. “But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you”.
Never forget: Your salvation does not depend on you and how good you are.
It depends solely on Christ and what He has already done for you through His death on the cross. The Bible says that Christ "appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself" (Hebrews 9:26).
Prayer:
Lord grants us Your peace and leads us to Green Pastures and Still-Water as we journey to You by Your Grace. We thank You for the privilege of being in Your holy presence, we pray in Your precious name Lord Jesus our Redeemer... Amen

Devotional for Saturday March 16, 2024
Topic: Judge Not… But ‘Test’ the spirit. God will reveal Himself at the right time…
Focus: Acts 19: NKJV - Miracles Glorify Christ
11 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.
13 Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.” 14 Also there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so.
15 And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?”
16 Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered[b] them, and prevailed against them,[c] so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17 This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. 18 And many who had believed came confessing and telling their deeds. 19 Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.
Commentary:
Even the evil spirit knew the ‘pretenders’ and it is almost humorous to see… “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?” 16 Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Jesus said… Matthew 7:15 [ You Will Know Them by Their Fruits] “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. In Context | Full Chapter |
All that Glitter is not Gold…Measure twice and cut once, look before you leap, Stop Look & Listen
Think on this : Of all the warning given to us, the best is; the fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
TEXT: Psalm 111:10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever. In Context | Full Chapter |
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Commentary:
Wisdom could be considered more valuable than gold, it is said that the person with the gold makes the ‘golden’ rules. So the rules are from God as all the gold belongs to him, but as we read in Revelation, this precious metal will be used as ‘brick-pavers’ for the street of Heaven.
It is amazing that God trusted us so much that He made us with ‘Free-Will’. God also endowed some of the ‘Poorest’ nation with the most Precious Metal and Gemstones, and the people of these nations continue in poverty because of the exploitation of their resources by fellowmen. This why we have ‘Blood-Diamond’, ‘Jungle Gold’ and still the greed goes on...
God provided these to be used for Joy and to share among mankind, but as we see Diamonds are used to fuel war and conflicts.
Without God all is lost, the Bible said, when the Gospel is preached in all the land then shall the end comes.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
For as long as you have been around, it is the belief that the text above about when the ‘End’ will come. We want to point out that the ‘Gospel’ is the Key Element of this text, and what is the Gospel? Read on…
The gospel is the good news about what Jesus Christ has done to reconcile sinners to God. Here’s the whole story:
Action/Coming to our Lord:
His Time and His plan for us is not ours, and we must trust Him in Faith and come to Jesus to be Assured of being named in the Lamb’s Book of Live, that can never be removed once entered.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father in Jesus we come, Lord Jesus our Sovereign Eternal God in Your Holy Trinity, Lord as You are on the Throne of Righteousness interceding for us Lord, we come and seek You and we bring all things to You as You said come and You will give us rest. Lord today we thank You for the privilege of serving You for Your Glory. Lord we thank You for the many Visitors and we ask Your Divine Blessing on each and Your Favors to be released to those that call on Your Holy Name Lord. We give You our Praises and to You Lord Jesus is the Power and the Glory now and forevermore… Amen.

Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” In Context | Full Chapter |
Jesus is not the by-stander in our prayers. He is “The Mediator” our only channel to The Father, so many who pray to The Father and never mention Jesus, are they really reaching The Father. Remember Jesus said… “No one comes to the Father unless through me”. John 14:6 [Full Chapter] Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Jesus is not our ‘Buddy’ He is the Supreme-Sovereign God in One of The Father, yet He said…. I am your friend… John 15:15
No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. In Context | Full Chapter |
EVENING:
Coming to the Lord:
So when we gather in His Holy Name, remember Jesus is always in our Midst. Jesus said… “Where two or more are gathered in my name, I am in the Midst” Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” In Context | Full Chapter |
Good News -His Faithfulness:
When you know and trust our Lord, the Bible said…”He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways” Psalm 91:11. Only our Lord prays for us, as His angels are constantly at work to safeguard us, His angels are here to minister to us and to guide us into our Lord’s presence at our life’s journey in heaven forever. His angels are sent to serve those who loves the Lord and those our Lord made Joint-Heirs to His Kingdom.
Because our Sovereign Eternal Savior, Jesus Christ the Son of God, who is God Incarnate in His Holy Trinity is our Mediator and is Interceding for us to His Father. What a privilege our Lord Jesus gave us… He took us out of the trash-heap and made us into fine-linen worthy of coming into the Presence of His Father.
His Faithfulness:
Jesus the giver of Life – everlasting, remember that a ‘Free’ Gift had to be bought by the giver, and Jesus bought His Priceless Gift with His Life by dying for us, and His Payment was Redeemed by the Father as He Rose from death. His Resurrection is a Witness of what He has endowed for those in Jesus who shall also share in His Glory through His Divine Redemption.
[Confess Christ before Men] “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess (you) before My Father who is in heaven. In Context | Full Chapter
Pray this prayer of Commitment: Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name I pray Lord Jesus… Amen.
Prayer: Heavenly Father in Jesus our Lord and Savior we come, Lord Jesus thank You for being our Mediator to the Father. Lord it is because of Your Righteousness we are privileged to come in Your Holy Presence. Lord thank You for Your Divine Grace as You have prepared a place for us all knowing that You have said You are not of this world… Lord as we go in faith, Lord remove the challenges and lead us all to green pastures as it is by Your Divine Providence that You gave us an abundant life and a more-abundant life to come. Lord we thank You for the Visitors to this site, bless us all Jesus Messiah, and to You Lord Jesus is the Power and the Glory now and forevermore… Amen.

Springtime will be here soon… March 20th:
Covid-19 known to be a man-made plague will probably diminish, the Springtime and Summertime will cause extensive Vitamin D absorption by the population. So, today as we pause and know that He (Jesus) is God. Say ‘Thank You Lord’, do this as Jesus is listening… again we say:
Lord Jesus… Thank You for coming as You said, You came so that we may have life and have it ‘More’ Abundantly…
Let’s take the initiative to share the Good-News of…
that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Wait upon the Lord…
“Rain down, you heavens, from above, And let the skies pour down righteousness; Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation, And let righteousness spring up together. I, the Lord, have created it.
But there is a kind of rain that many will not like. Nor will they sustain it…
Building on ‘Sand’ versus building on the ‘Rock’
and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
The question is…are we there yet?
but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
Thanks to our Faithful and Merciful Lord and Savior… Let us be His ‘Witness’.
Nevertheless, He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father we thank You for Your Unconditional love, and Lord Jesus as You expressed this by Your Priceless Gift of Life by Your Divine Redemption, we thank You for life and Your covenant of a ‘More Abundant life’ as the ‘Best is Yet to Come’ because of You our Redeemer.
Lord bless our Visitors and grant us all You providence as we go in Faith. We give You our adoration and delight ourselves in You. To You Lord Jesus is the Power and the Glory forevermore… Amen.

Nov 27, 2018 — Researchers plan to spray sunlight-reflecting particles into the ... from Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, to begin planning the experiment.
Who is giving these researchers and Gates the rights to do this? To spray particle to dim the sun. This reminded me of an incident on board a transatlantic flight when the movie projector broke. A passenger got up and asked the flight attendant if there was a ladder and a pair of pliers so that he could fix it. He got on the little step ladder and was just about to open the panel, I got up and asked him…What is his qualification? How much did he know about fixing an aircraft appliance especially flying at 35,000 Feet? He could not answer, so I turned around and said…”Ladies and gentlemen. I saw the moving on my way over, and I knew the ending, would you like to hear it, or would you like him to mess up a vital electrical line while we are flying”? The answer was to tell the person to stop and leave the projector alone.
The recent storm was a severe winter blast. To dim the sun, then causing a change that would cause the plants and other vital vegetation to lack Chlorophyll for plant growth. The big difference here, getting of the plane was easy, but leaving the planet is impossible. So, Harvard and Gates wanting to play God is a dangerous move.
Just like the group building the Tower of Babel the Lord knew best and came down and stopped them. So, today we are saying… Please God, send someone and fix the intent of dimming the sun.
Lord today as You said, “Come to You like a child.”
Let us say… I am not ashamed of the Gospel:
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
Rest assured that all things are possible for those who loves the Lord…
All the intellect gained in this life will be meaningless. Jesus said we are to come to Him like a Child, and these two fundamental facts taught are the most truthful and direct, most of us learned these in Sunday school.
1. Jesus loves me this I know because the Bible tells me so….
2. For God so loved the World, that he gave His only begotten Son…
Come to Christ in simple faith… Trust Him and give Him Preeminence in your life, He will fulfill your desires.
Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. In Context | Full Chapter |
Prayer:
Heavenly Father in Jesus our Lord and Savior we come… Lord Jesus as You said, You will send us a Comforter, and Lord in You we are comforted by your Saving Grace. Lord thank You for Your Divine Redemption as we praise You and give You first-place in our lives, Thank You for our Visitors and grant us all Your Providence, To You Lord Jesus is the Power and the Glory now and forevermore... Amen.

Devotional for Monday March 11, 2024
The Truth will set Free… Will the Truth set the politicians free? For some Yes, and for many No, in fact the truth could be damaging keeping them from being free.
If we knew the truth about how governments operate, we would be shocked, why? Let’s take the money that you have in your pocket, technically you made a loaned to the issuer of the Note. Why it clearly reads: Federal Reserve Note (The paper money) However, the Paper-Money clearly states that itis a ‘Legal-Tender’. What if no one wants to accept this paper money, can you go to the federal issuer and demand back your money, yes and no, “No’ because you already have what you gave them a piece of paper. So, to get the food supply that you are trying to pay, he now wants to be paid with something real, maybe an ounce of silver, or a pig or a cow or something that is an exchange now called a Barter system.
Cryptocurrency ‘Bitcoin’ is a similar system, but difference in the sense that the ‘Blockchain’ is linked to a network of Bitcoin users, these Blockchain members have agreed to accept the Crypto currency. However, if there came a day that a member of the Blockchain say…”I won’t accept the Bitcoin” , in such an event can you redeem the money paid for the bitcoin? If you cannot sell the Bitcoin, can you go to some institution and demand a refund? The bottom-line… what backs the Bitcoin? While the Legal Tender the US Dollar does say…”In GOD We Trust”.
After all is said and done here, the real intrinsic value here in Only God that can be trusted.
Do not worry, the cash you have is still good and will get you the groceries, gas and pay the bills. But the truth is, we hope that the issuer of the Federal Reserve is living by the claim of...In God We Trust. We will affirm this here and say He is the only trustworthy of all.
Prayer… Lord Jesus just as how You sent the disciples to the dock and caught the fish and retrieved the gold piece, the coin was a legal tender. Lord we thank You for providing our needs and we know that all things are possible with You, and we can do all thing through You that strengthen us. Lord bless our Visitors and grant us all your favors by Your Grace. We pray in Your Holy Name Jesus Messiah, to You be the Power and the Glory forevermore… Amen.

Devotional for Sunday March 10, 2024
Today is a great day to re-affirm our forgiveness, spending time in the Word, communicating with the Lord, tell Him about our appreciation of His Love and His unconditional pardons by His Grace…
It is a special day today, and the Lord is listening….
He is listening every moment, but on this special day He is listening for the Praise and Adoration from us, as we appreciate His Love and Adoration granted to us by His Grace.
We Praise because He is God, and we can say He is a Good, Good God because of His Unconditional love for use.
He created us in His image unblemished in perfection; but there was a blemished, not by His design; but by the sin of Adam.
This blemished opened the door to sin. We came without sin, but because of that forbidden fruit, we were made vulnerable to sin.
A newborn baby is sinless, but because of our vulnerability caused by the original sin, all became vulnerable and sin over-shadowed our unblemished souls.
But God is a loving God, and He provided a way for us to be redeemed from the condemnation… Through Jesus who came and by His Divine crucifixion and Resurrection, our sin was taken to the cross. How is this possible? Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for us.
So, let’s look at the Sacrifice that was the Passover…
God provided the Israelite with the protection from the angel of death, by the blood of the lamb the first Passover was realized, and by the Blood of Christ; we are marked for the final Passover… which is the Day of the Lord…
2 Peter 3 New King James Version (NKJV)
God’s Promise Is Not Slack
3 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), 2 that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of [a]us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, 3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6 by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.
7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and [b]perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is long-suffering toward [c]us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Today’s devotion is to give the Lord our Praises, and for those that may feel it is more a sermon than a devotional, let us thank our Lord for His Grace, and that through Him we are made perfect. So, use His wonderful Grace to share the Gospel of God’s Good News of His priceless gift of Redemption through Jesus.
Prayer:
Father in heaven, Lord Jesus as You are at the Right Hand of the Father we come and give You our Praises knowing that because of Your Righteousness we are made worthy to be in Your Holy Presence. Lord today we as we walk by Your radiance, along with our Visitors, bless us all and by Your mercies we are privileged to say that by Grace we are saved and not of anything we do. We pray in Your Holy Name, to You Lord Jesus is the Power and the Glory forevermore… Amen.

Stealing from the Poor, the nation and the oppressed… Where did all the “Charity and Money to help” go?
Most charitable organizations are good. But there are some that use the names of a worthwhile cause and take 80% to 90% of what they raise. On the other hand, when we Help in the Name of the Lord, we ourselves get as much help and blessings by sharing the goodness of our ever our faithful Provider.
The Fragrance of the Lord…
2 Corinthians 2:14-15 New King James Version (NKJV)
14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. 15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.
99+1… The ONE missing is as important as the 99, are you that One?
The ‘ONE’ missing is as important as the 99 others… If you are the missing ‘One’ the Good News is that you are being called.
Yes, you are being called and it is time to cross that threshold into a place of serenity, with a Peace that surpasses all understanding. Experience this Peace today by coming to the Father in Jesus who stands at the Right-hand of the Father as Jesus says… Father I present (you name here) whom I have called and by Your Grace granted through Me, I present him by My Righteousness so that he is made righteous be in Your Holy Presence.
Just acknowledge what Jesus has done for you by saying… “Lord Jesus I thanks You for calling me and I repent of my sins by Your Grace and in Faith I commit to You my life to be as a child of Yours, knowing that Your Resurrection to life as the Chosen Holy Anointed One of the Father, and by Your Supremacy my Lord I am made a joint-heir to Your Kingdom.
[Jesus] who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,
Matthew 18:11-13 New King James Version (NKJV)
11 For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.
12 “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? 13 And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
John 14:26-28 New King James Version (NKJV)
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said,[a] ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.
Ephesians 2:8-9 [Full Chapter]
For by grace, you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
The Solution is…. Hebrews 7:25
Therefore, he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. Hebrews 7:24-26
Conclusion: Keynote: We are to add nothing to the Gospel, (No Pre-condition)
For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. - 2 Corinthians 2:15
without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Romans 12 (Whole Chapter)
Principles: Any method of Salvation that departs from Faith is the basis for a perversion or it is no Gospel at all.
Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:5-7 (in Context) Hebrews 11 (Whole Chapter)
Prayer:
Heavenly Father in Christ Jesus we come knowing that You our Lord & Savior Jesus sits on the Throne of Righteousness and as we come You intercedes for us. Lord we thank You for this day that we are privileged to serve You Lord and to bring Your Good News to all. Lord let our visitors find Grace in You as Your Faithfulness is forever and those that call on You Lord will be Saved. We give You our Praises and we thank You for allowing us to be a Vessel for You Lord. We pray to You Lord Jesus our Eternal Sovereign God in One of the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. To You Lord Jesus is the Power and the Glory now and forevermore… Amen.

Devotional for Thursday March 7, 2024
The Future is Good, why? the deceivers, the murderers, thieves, and corruptions will be eliminated, How, When and Where? In God’s Kingdom. So, be sure to be there to live a Joyful life eternally. Learn how, read more…
For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
For this you know that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
What a day it will be… there will be no ‘News’ no sales commercials, no advertising, especially pharmaceutical products, no selling or buying. Where could a place like this be? Imagine… no new model cars, new fashions, no need to run to the store to pick up bread and milk. Could a life like this be boring, or it is a fulfilled live of leisure?
A dog’s like is pretty mundane, when you give them a big bone, the first thing they will do is bury it and let it age, then they will recover it and chew on it.
This is their enjoyment.
There are many opinions posted that a life without challenges is boring… I am sure that in heaven we will have assignment or more desires to perform good things, and in the heavenly realms the challenges will be things that we desire to do, and not done ritualistically.
Today, the day started by reading my Daily Devotions, this came first. Then make coffee. remember to put out the garbage carts, check my Emails, and then check the news or the weather.
His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
Here we see the message from Jesus repeating the above.
Loving God Under Trials
Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
As we go through life, we do know that believers do have a radiance, and they reflect the radiance of the Lord.
Quoting Whitney Hopler… Crosswalk.com
When you pursue God with a passion, His light grows brighter in your life, reflecting His brilliance to others and drawing them toward Him, out of the darkness. Your one life may seem as small as a disco mirror ball dwarfed inside a large room filled with needy people. But when God illuminates you, you can reflect His radiance powerfully in all directions.
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life.”
Prayer:
Heavenly Father today we gather in Jesus to Thank You… Thank You Lord for Your Graciousness, tank You for Your Saving Grace, thank You for Your Divine Redemption and Lord we thank You for hearing our prayers. Lord bless our Visitors and grant us all Your Providence. We pray in Your Holy Name Lord Jesus, to You is the Power and the Glory forevermore... Amen.

Devotional for Wednesday March 6, 2024
Enjoy the weekend, God made the Sunrise, the Fresh Air and His Covenant of a more Abundant Life. So, pause and know that He is God. Say ‘Thank You Lord’, Jesus is listening…
Lord Jesus… Thank You for coming as You said, You came so that we may have life and have it ‘More’ Abundantly…
Springtime will be here soon… March 20th:
Covid-19 known to be a man-made plague will probably diminish, the Springtime and Summertime will cause extensive Vitamin D absorption by the population. So, today as we pause and know that He (Jesus) is God. Say ‘Thank You Lord’, do this as Jesus is listening… again we say:
Lord Jesus… Thank You for coming as You said, You came so that we may have life and have it ‘More’ Abundantly…
Let’s take the initiative to share the Good-News of…
that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Wait upon the Lord…
“Rain down, you heavens, from above, And let the skies pour down righteousness; Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation, And let righteousness spring up together. I, the Lord, have created it.
But there is a kind of rain that many will not like. Nor will they sustain it…
Building on ‘Sand’ versus building on the ‘Rock’
and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
The question is…are we there yet?
but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
Thanks to our Faithful and Merciful Lord and Savior… Let us be His ‘Witness’.
Nevertheless, He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father we thank You for Your Unconditional love, and Lord Jesus as You expressed this by Your Priceless Gift of Life by Your Divine Redemption, we thank You for life and Your covenant of a ‘More Abundant life’ as the ‘Best is Yet to Come’ because of You our Redeemer.
Lord bless our Visitors and grant us all You providence as we go in Faith. We give You our adoration and delight ourselves in You. To You Lord Jesus is the Power and the Glory forevermore… Amen.

Devotional for Tuesday March 5, 2024
Day 1
God said: “Let there be Light” and Yeshua appeared
Scripture said… Jesus is the Light of the World.
Factoid: the Sun was not placed in the sky until the fourth day. Therefore it was Jesus as the Light of the world.
Colossians
DAILY DEVOTIONALS
Devotional for Sunday January 15, 2023
What compares to a hummingbird that travel thousands of miles south to nest in the winter and then returning home. This little bird flies thousands of miles, our man-made micro drones can mimic them, but in fact, drones run out of charge in about 25 minutes.
So many things we take for granted, the Bees and the honey they produce. Honey found in the Tutankhamun tomb and Honey found that is about 5,500 years old — were discovered in the tomb of a noblewoman in Georgia, not far from Tbilisi. They say honey never expires.
Factoid… Your heart beats about 100,000 times in one day and about 35 million times in a year. During an average lifetime, the human heart will beat more than 2.5 billion times.
Nothing compares to the creation of the Lord…
In the book of Genesis, it did not take too long before we saw the first Sin, the first murder and so on…leading to the Flood, Sodom & Gomorrah, and the Kings and the kingdoms of Kings that ruled with good choices and some bad decisions, nothing in the history of mankind is telling us anything new.
If we had Network News in the times of Cain & Abel, Noah and the Flood, there would be scoffers standing on the sidelines just as we have today. In fact, the scene of today could be integrated into the footage of Noah’s time if they had video. The subject of same sex marriages and the gay communities of history (which took place between 1446-1406BC) our cities of today are not much different from Corinth and Babylon. In fact, Babylon was a place of grandeur.
So, looking at today’s geo-political condition and the human race on a whole, we can say ‘change is constant’ but nothing is new. In fact, the latest automobiles and mode of transportation of today is old by Elijah’s standard… Why? He travelled by a ‘Chariot of Fire’ as we also read, when Elijah was surrounded by the Syrian armies, he prayed, and the Lord surround the mountain with an army with Chariots of Fire…. What are Chariots of Fire”, were they buggies with horses and in flames? I guess these were some form of a vehicles with engines… remember the human vocabulary in the year 550 BC during the Babylonian empire lacked words like ‘Vehicle’ ‘spacecrafts’ ‘Rockets’ and Space was not known, as to many earth was flat..
His Promise:
I was reading today a statement from Leroy Elms (Navigators) in which he reminds us that a Church without a Children’s program is a church that will be extinct within one generation, and so would be the human race if we stopped having kids, in less than a century the human race would be extinct.
This is why I am a supporter of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) with a strong focus on a worldwide Children’s program that is a worldwide success.
Reflecting on our Lord’s invitation Jesus said… Matthew 19:14
Jesus said, “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven”.
His Faithfulness:
2 King 6: 16-18 So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 18 So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, and said, “Strike this people, I pray, with blindness.” And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
Conclusion:
In the real whole many of us are facing trying times, the pressing needs for financial help, relationships, parents concerned about new school curriculum that are imposing life-style changes into the early stage education process, and personal health issues, even some Churches are compromising on the definition of marriage, No one is immune to any of these circumstances. But we can have our Lord on our side, just like Elijah’s realization of the Power of God.
Psalm 103
Of David.
1 Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father in Jesus we come and give you our Praises, for Great is Your Faithfulness… Lord Jesus today as we bring You the petition of releasing Your favors upon our Visitors. Lord we Lift You Up on High and Give You the Glory. Lord Jesus in Your precious name we pray, and to you is the Power and the Glory now and forevermore… Amen.

SUNDAY July 18, 2021
The worst thing we can do is to deceive our own selves…
How deep is your Faith? How good is your knowledge of the Scriptures?
Are you sharing the Good News? What is the Good News? It is great News,
It declares the greatest and most valuable Gift that we can ever receive. The
Redemption of our souls.
God’s ‘Priceless’ Gift, cannot be purchased, stolen or be gained by trading. It
Is Priceless and Is defined… priceless is incredibly valuable. It is so valuable that
no one would ever want to sell it or be able to buy it. Since a price is what it
costs to buy something, priceless things cannot be bought; it is not because it
too valuable, it can only be gained by receiving it,
Gaining the Gift of God’s Salvation… In a material world every conveyance will
have specific Terms and Conditions, and these conditions must be kept and
maintained to keep the item being conveyed.
In the Heavenly realms… God’s Terms and Conditions must also be maintained,
but the condition must be kept because we want to keep them and not just governed by the legal requirement of the Terms and Conditions God’s salvation as a Gift. But, by the Love of Christ we joyfully receive Him and not just the Gift.
Matthew 6: 33 revealed this…
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
So, the Terms and Condition laid out by God is, God’s Kingdom? This refers to Jesus, and His Righteousness, then the Gifts will be granted to us ‘as-well’
What this said, after you have received Him, His Gifts come next. This clearly stated that through Jesus, we have met all the Terms and Conditions because He Paid-it-All.
What do we mean? To Know Christ and to be saved by His Salvation, we must have: (1) Knowledge of His Redeeming Blood, (2) Walking in Faith, (3) Applying His precepts (Commandments), (4) Sharing God’s Grace, and finally; Love your neighbors like yourself.
Never apply the ‘We-They’ in looking at others. We are ‘set-apart’ by Christ
when we are saved, but we cannot look down on others. This is a negative
attitude in our attempt to lead others to Christ. Why? If someone new visit
your church, do you apply the superiority ‘holier than thou ‘approach? Or do
you just ignore the visitors? Guest what? this attitude works in the reverse of
giving the visitor a feeling of being welcomed in joining the body of Christ. We
are to greet each other.
2 Peter 1:10-12
New International Version
10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, 11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The story of the incoming new pastor of a church… he came in dressed like a homeless individual, sat in the back row and no one greeted him. The time came when the announcement of the new pastor was made, and he walked up to the podium, the congregation was shocked. He started out by saying how no one reached out to him. This is like an experience a while back, the call to service was made and people continued to chat and visit with each other. The Paster said… let us be reminded that this is the house of the Lord and not a country-club. The same was happening at our Bible Study Fellowship meetings, guys continued to swap stories about their cars, etc., I made it clear that in Fellowship we have the presence of the Lord, and a little decorum would be good when we start with prayers. I guess this made me known as a strict Discussion leader among my peers.
So, when we consider others, let us include the Lord as He is in our inner circle.
Fellowship is a terminology…fellowship is a group of people that join together for a common purpose or interest.
In church the ‘Common-purpose’ would be to Worship the Lord, Hear His Word and to be a good witness for Him.
Your presence in church could in fact inspire someone, meaning as we in fellowship with Christ in displays the ‘Unity’ in Christ. The reverence of the Lord is paramount in His presence in our walk with Him.
Give Christ the Glory…
Heavenly Father, we come by the Divine Grace of Jesus our Lord. Lord Jesus we give You our Praises and seek Your Divine blessing on us and our Visitors as we go in faith making You the Author and Finisher of our Faith. Lord we thank You and give You the Glory now and forevermore… Amen.

SATURDAY July 17, 2021
Focus: God is going home gift… Quantum Physics, Faster than then speed of light, a mission accomplished daily by believers
Commentary: Recently published papers by scientists are claiming that the Universe is timeless, and the measuring of time points back to the theory of relativity as published by Einstein… meaning that the universe is timeless. The mystery of the universe is still a baffling theoretical challenge to us, as the claim to travel at the speed of light there would be no time and the outcome of quantum mechanics would then in theory be the fourth dimension.
A Timeless Universe meaning that everything is eternal is a paradox that God already gave us the answer and we keep ignoring His profound wisdom. Gravity can only control our bodies, a mass that we call our physical bodies in which we life is subject to the factor of time, but our ‘Spiritual-Being’ is not subject to the earth-bound gravitational force, so what the scientists and researchers are proving is really reaching the climax of what Jesus taught. The statement of “Unless you be ‘Born-Again’ you cannot enter into the Kingdom of God” what Jesus was saying, your Spiritual-Being needs to be ‘Super-Naturally’ washed in His atoning Blood, then as one who is now ‘Sealed’ with His Blood through His Divine Grace and when we receive Him (Jesus) we are redeemed. This is where the Quantum-Mechanics will allow all those in Christ to be ‘Freed’ from their ‘earth-bound’ being, to allow the Redeemed to be a ‘Joint-Heir’ to His Kingdom.
He was referring to the Twinkling of an Eye when we will be transformed by our Faith in Him and by His Grace.
The ‘Black & White’ physical evidence that we all seek… meaning unless we can turn to page number 1001 of a manual that will tell us how to get onboard to take that Quantum Physic journey, we cannot believe that such a journey exists. But this same person that needs the ‘Black & White proof’ will believe the lies of the devil or even believe in the novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll... publish in 1865 Alice in Wonderland a book that we all grew up with, impacting generations after generations.
By having Faith in Christ, He will one day allow us to perform that ‘Supernatural’ Quantum Physic achievement of our journey to our Savior.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Coming to the Lord: Good News -His Faithfulness:
Romans 8 New KNKJV)
Free from Indwelling Sin
8 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
EVENING:
Romans 3: 2-246 God’s Righteousness Through Faith
, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,
Ephesians 2:8-9 New (NKJV)
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Pray: Lord Jesus I am a Sinner, I come and repent of my sin by receiving Your Priceless Gift through Your Blood of Atonement, I invite You Lord to come into my heart and make me a new creation by your Grace. Lord I commit myself to You Lord and ask Your Holy Spirit to be with me from henceforth, To You Lord is the Power and the Glory forevermore… Amen.
Prayer: Heavenly Father in Jesus our Lord and savior we come. Lord Jesus as You said there is only One Mediator between man and God, and Lord we today look to You Lord Jesus and say Lord receive our Spirit as Your Holy Spirit will be indwelling in us as we commit all to You Lord. Lord because You are One in The Father and by Your Holy Trinity we go in Faith knowing that we are assured by your Eternal-Word that we are justified freely by your Grace through You Lord Jesus. We thank you Lord for our Visitors, bless us all as we look to You Lord Jesus as the Author and Finisher of our Faith and our journey to You Lord Jesus. To You Jesus Messiah is the Power and the Glory now and forevermore… Amen.

FRIDAY July 16, 2021
Never give up – Keep praying for your loved ones and those you want to know Christ.
Focus: Once thing for sure, the Lord answers prayers, and He never forgets, He is Omniscient, He is Omnipotent and our Lord will never leave us nor forsake us.
Commentary: A young man whose mother loved the Lord and taught him about the love of Christ, but this young man went off to college, became a physician buy never followed his mom’s leading. While in internship at a hospital where we saw a lot of accident victims; there was a man who suffered a mighty fall who was not going to make it. This man was conscious so the young physician asked is there anyone that he would like to notify to come and visit him, the injured man said he had no relative, but he would like his landlady to come and see him so that he could pay what he owed before dying.
The young physician called the landlady who came a few times, the man died peacefully, the physician was asked; what should they do with a bible that they found that the man was reading, the physician said he would take it as the man had no relative.
Taking the Bible, the physician opened the bible and found that this was a bible his mom gave him, when he went off to medical school that he sold. The physician’s name was written inside the front cover written by his mom. He was shocked because of the coincident of this bible coming back to him. He took it home and read all the passages that the man had underlined. The young physician was led to the Lord after realizing the Word of the Lord and the prayers by his mom and the unconditional love of God.
Sometime in our life when we offer to help someone, we ourselves get more benefit returning to us. The incident of this young physician’s life’ experience of this accident victim owning a Bible that was owned by the young physician was a divine interaction of the Lord in the life of this young physician; whose mom was fervently praying for her son to come to Jesus.
Do not neglect to entertain strangers, because somewhere
or sometime an angel of our Lord will be sent to you…
The Divine Super-Natural powers of our God far exceeds our thinking abilities… so today we stand in awe of the great things our Lord has done for us; His Divine Redemption through his Crucifixion and His Triumphant Resurrection. Knowing this we are more awe-struck that Jesus who is God Incarnate would do this for us, yes he did! Because we are His greatest treasures, when He created us in His Likeness He said it was Good… so why did He had to die? Because mankind fell from His Grace He came to redeemed us. Just as Jesus is of the linage of David through Joseph His earthly father that fulfilled the prophecy written over 700 years before Christ was born, we are descendant of Adam whom He created, and by the sin of Adam we are all sinners.
EVENING:
What a privilege our Lord has given us… Through His Death and Resurrection, we have His Divine Redemption. You may say…why do I need to be redeemed? I am going to die someday and what do I know or care? Guess what? You will never die, because you are carefully and wonderfully made in the Likeness of God, and as such we will never die. The Word of God said… It is appointed unto to man to die once and after that the judgment; here we see a very contradictory statement, how can you be around for the judgment if you died? Because we really never die, and even after the judgment we will live forever. In Christ we will have a life of Splendor, without Christ we are separated from God forever in a place of desolation.
2 Corinthians 8:9
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.
2 Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
Prayer: Heavenly Father in Jesus we come. Lord Jesus we thank You for Your assurance that in You Lord we have peace and in You we have Victory. Lord we thank You for interceding for us to the Father as no one comes to the Father unless through Your Lord. Lord today we thank You for the privilege of serving You and bringing Your Good News to may for Your Glory. Lord bless our many Visitors. Lord we thank you for Your Grace and to You Lord Jesus is the power and the Glory now and forevermore… Amen.

THURSDAY July 15, 2021
The Old Testament and the New Testament are all about Jesus our Messiah.
TEXT: And beginning with Moses and the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. - Luke 24:27
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. - 1 John 1:9
Commentary:
Jesus said… “Before Abraham was I was”
To be pardoned one must first admit wrong-doing, to be ‘Vindicated’ you do not have to admit any wrong-doing as you were falsely charged. To be ‘Exonerated’. The most prominent case of Vindication of a false accusation was Jesus Christ. Leading up to Jesus’ Crucifixion He was arrested for what? The best summation of what Christ was charged with by His accusers, would be: “You are condemned because You have offended us by revealing our hypocrisy”.
Christ was vindicated by The Father who revealed to His accusers that Jesus was in fact who He said He was. Yet men in society will look at the short-term benefit of conforming to the clique or the group that they live among without care of the consequences of conformity.
For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
The Apostle Paul wrote this to the Colossians: Colossians 2 New King James Version (NKJV) Not Philosophy but Christ
2 For I want you to know what a great conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh, 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words. 5 For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
EVENING:
We thank our Lord Jesus for His Faithfulness and for His unspeakable gift.
Romans 8:37-39 (NKJV)
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
You are Complete in Christ” as Jesus Loves You and Paid It All for You to come and know Him, and by knowing Jesus as Lord of lords, all Things are Possible… because in God’s eyes you are ‘Complete in Christ’ even as you are; but God wants to make you “PERFECT” in Him, and You can be perfect this moment by coming to our Savior.
In Faith Pray…Lord Jesus Christ, I accept in faith that You came and died for my sins and by Your Blood of Atonement offered for me, my Lord I accept You and by Your Grace I am saved knowing that it is only by Your Blood that my sins are washed away, and by Your Grace extended to me that I can look to You my Savior knowing that one day I shall see You and be brought into Your Kingdom where there shall be no more sin no more pain and be filled with the Joy of Your Holy presence my Lord and Savior. I commit my life and my soul to You my Lord Jesus and expect to spend eternity with You my Lord, I accept Your divine saving Grace now and pray this in Your Holy name Lord Jesus, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer His Holy Spirit will find you and growing in Christ is a daily walk with Jesus…
Conclusion: We have the Assurance of our Lord… Romans 8:38-39 New King James Version (NKJV)
38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Prayer: Heavenly Father in Jesus our Lord and savior, God in One of Your Holy Trinity, Lord Jesus our Sovereign Eternal God, we come into Your Holy Presence. Lord bless this day as we seek Your Peace that surpasses all understanding. Lord bless our Visitors and grant to us all Your Favors and lead us to Green Pastures for Your Glory. Lord, today we pray for our nation that has drifted away from Your Divine Grace endowed on us. We pray in Your Holy Name Lord Jesus and to You is the Power and the Glory now and forevermore… Amen.

WEDNESDAY July 14, 2021
Yesterday we spoke of ‘laying up treasures in Heaven’
James 2: 14-26
14 What use is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone says he has faith, but he has no works? Can [j]that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, [k]be warmed and be filled,” yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? 17 In the same way, faith also, if it has no works, is [l]dead, being by itself.;
23 and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God. 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 In the same way, was Rahab the prostitute not justified by works also when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
The farmer may have faith, faith that his crop will be protected from a hail storm, or and an invasion of pests. But, first he must plough the fields, prepare the soil and then get the seeds from the barn and plant them. Then water the field and in faith he will have a good harvest.
Faith in God Is similar, we maybe like the kid lying on the sofa, instead of getting up to get his beverage, he calls his grandmother to fetch him the beverage. She did it because she loves him, but she stared at him with a degree of tolerance of his laziness.
Remember our treasures in heaven are not the trinkets as all of what we have, the car,
the house, the collections of jewelry and other personal items will not be needed, maybe
the Holy Bible will be useful, but in the presence of God..
HE IS THE tabernacle, not a building…Revelation 21:3
And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is
among the people, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God
Himself will be among them,
So, the treasures in Heaven will be our witness our love for our neighbors, living by His Great Commission…Matthew 28 The Great Commission
16 But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated to them. 17 And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some [f]were doubtful. 18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19 [g]Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to [h]follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you [i]always, to the end of the age.
While we read of Jesus instructing the disciples, Jesus was also addressing us as well. We are no different from HIS disciples. Do you consider yourself as a disciple of Christ?
He has given us this…
Colossians 3:2 Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth.
1 Thessalonians 1:3 constantly keeping in mind your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,
For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline
John 14:12 Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I am going to the Father
So, today we affirm that we are able to do as Jesus did. When we believe in Him… this is Jesus’ own statement, so add this to His Great Commission, apply the Power He gave us all
27. But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him, and he got up.28 When He
came into the house, His disciples began asking Him privately, “Why is it that we
could not cast it out?” 29 And He said to them, “This kind cannot come out by
anything except prayer”.
Pray without ceasing… a Muslim once said I pray five times per day, but we can say we pray without ceasing, why? The Holy Spirit is in dwelling in us. And the eternal omniscience of Jesus is always present. Because Jesus said where two or more are gathered He is in our midst. So even when we come to God the Father He is present.
Prayer: just as when Stephen looked up He saw You, and he said… Jesus receive my Spirit. This was Stephen’s treasure as He was a man chosen by You. Lord today we come and Offer ourselves as a living sacrifice to serve You. Lord bless our Visitors and we thank You for Your abundant Grace and Providence. To You Lord Jesus is the power and the glory forevermore… Amen.

TUESDAY July 13, 2021
Older and Wiser… Are we maturing with knowledge or filled with Worldly
Desires? It may be said.. If only I knew then, I would have made the decision
on what I know today.
If we knew then, all the old cars we owned would not be a pile of junk, but a
Valuable collectible as a classic car collection. All the toys, the the Japanese Tin
cars, the Fire trucks and even some stuffed animals are now sought after by
collectors.
So, the next 10, 20 years, what will we live to regret not keeping? Maybe the
Old IBM PC, this early version of a personal computer is now a collector item,
And so is the old Apple first PC.
With all of the above they are still a pile of junk,,these are what is referred to In
the Bible as Matthew 6:19 Lay Up Treasures in Heaven
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust
destroy and where thieves break in and steal.
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Rather lay up treasures in Heaven,
…Matthew 6: Lay Up Treasures in Heaven
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures
heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in
and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Are squirrels smart? Some make their own shelf-life food, storing homey or jerky,
this is a practice than humans fail to do at times.
So, as said…. Do Not Worry
MattHew 6: 25-34
25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what
you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than
food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they
neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add
one cubit to his stature?
28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they
grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his
glory was not [l]arrayed like one of these.30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the
field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much
more clothe you, O you of little faith.
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
So, cheer up, our Lord is a God of restoration, and He is the ‘just-in-time’ provider of all our needs.
Give thanks to the Lord… for He is merciful and His instruction not to worry is factual and He is faithful.
Father we thank You for Your graciousness, Your love and Providence. Lord Jesusthank you for Your ever presence, as You know our needs even before we ask. We thank You Lord and in faith we go knowing that all our needs are provided. Lord bless our Visitors and us all, as we give You the glory Lord JESUS now and forevermore … Amen.

MONDAY July 12, 2021
Starting the week is it another week of routines, or is it a week of
opportunities? Let us make it a week of opportunities full of Grace and
blessings of the Lord.
Philippians 4:4-9 (NASB)
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again, I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentle spirit be
known to all people. The Lord is near.
6 Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be
made known to God.
7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all
comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever
is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if
there is any excellence and if anything, worthy of praise, think about these
things.
9 As for the things you have learned and received and heard and seen in
me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Joy is eternal, Happiness is momentary and temporary. Galatians 5:22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
Faithfulness.
So, what more could we ask for?
1. Joy
2. Peace
3. Redemption by the Blood of Christ
4. A Closer walk with Christ, as He is in us.
5. Applying His Great-Commission.
The four-lines of Jabez’s prayer made a complete prayer, a well thought out
concise request to the Lord.
While Jabez’s prayer may appear to be ‘self-serving’... Jabez was earnestly
praying to have his territory enlarged and by this he meant having a mission
field to give God the glory. Jabez probably applied the principle of logics
knowing if he received the blessing of God and had his territory enlarged, like
every human-being when we get to this level the most important thing we
need is to have the hands of God over us to keep us from being arrogant. And
Jabez addressed this knowing that having the ‘enlarged’ territory usually leads
to vulnerability from the fiery arrows of the evil one.
Commentary:
Join the winning team and keep praying this prayer knowing that the primary
intention that the gift and grace from the Lord are to be used for His Glory.
The first gifts brought to Mary and Joseph with Jesus in the manger is an
example of bringing the ‘First-Fruit’ to The Lord.
2021years ago the wise men came to Bethlehem and ministered to the new-
born King…
TEXT: 2 Corinthians 2:14 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and
manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.
Praise The Lord… Heavenly Father in Jesus we come. Lord Jesus we seek Your
Divine Blessing on our Visitors, Lord let Your eternal mercies be upon us all. We
give You first place in all… To You Lord Jesus is the Power and the Glory now
and forevermore… Amen.

SUNDAY July 11, 2021
Fear is the sign of: Lack of faith, mistrusting the Lord, allowing
The devil to invade your space? Or just relying on our own selves?
Fear is mentioned in the Bible 336 times… Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and
instruction.
We are to cherish the Love of the Lord, and fear His Wrath…
God’s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and
wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness.
The Love of God is declared…
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
When we know Him. And abide in Him…nothing can separate us from the love of God.
Romans 8:39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
‘Abide’ defined… to accept or act in accordance with a decision to follow.
Delight yourself…Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Isaiah 58:14 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.”
The above texts are from the Lord Himself…
Praise to our Lord Jesus…. Father in Heaven we thank You for Jesus our1st
Redeemer. Lord Jesus we affirm our love for You and we thank You for Your
Divine blessing on our Visitors and us all. You Lord Jesus is Preeminent in our
lives. To You Lord Jesus is the Power and the Glory forever… Amen

SATURDAY July 10, 2021
Is time fleeting by? It is said time goes by when you are having fun…
Let us define ‘Fun’: work can be fun or can be challenging, but
Challenges can be fun too.
Sometimes we may think that money can solve everything, but there
Is an old saying… if all it took was money anyone can do it. But money
Is like an ice cube on a hot pavement in the heat of summer.
The difference in Relationship and Fellowship...
Relationship is knowing, Fellowship is walking with...
Relationship is a binding bond, fellowship is
A walk that must be taken, and sometimes renewed.
If we choose to be with Him and He considers us to be a branch of His Vine, He
can release exponent growth that will shoot like the most bountiful grape
vineyard bearing fruits that many will be attracted to, which is His fragrance to
be tasted so many may know Him.
Living for Christ is the ‘whole’ because in Him we have… John 6:25-35 (NIV)
Jesus the Bread of Life
25 When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi,
when did you get here?”
26 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because
you saw the signs, I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.
27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life,
which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his
seal of approval.”
EVENING:
You are chosen by The Lord Jesus by His Grace and His Father God will provide
our needs when we ask in Jesus’ name…
John 15:16 Good News Translation (GNT)
16 You did not choose me; I chose you and appointed you to go and bear much
fruit, the kind of fruit that endures. And so, the Father will give you whatever
you ask of him in my name.
In the text above Jesus said… we did not choose Him, He chose you, me, and all,
and He has appointed you. Me and all to go and bear much fruit, and the kind of
fruit that endures.
What kind of fruit last forever” Fruit is considered perishable and in the ‘Fresh-
market’ whatever we buy will only last a few days…? So, Jesus was telling us to
bear much ‘Fruit’ meaning bring others to Him. Of all the things created by our
Lord, the Earth, Water, Animals, the Stars, the Lilies of the field, and the cattle
on a thousand hills, nothing is considered more valuable than you. Me and
everyone who He created in His Likeness, so today we thank our Lord for His
Unconditional love for you, me, and everyone… He (Jesus) not only loves us but
He wants to ‘Reward’ us… and His Reward is gaining a lifetime with Him, and
the Lifetime will be eternal.
The ‘key’ words in Jesus’ statement… ‘Whoever comes to Him’ will never go
hungry, and ‘whoever believes in me’ will never be thirsty.
Now that we have seen the Faithfulness of our Lord Jesus, let us come to Him
and Praise Him and thank Him for His Divine Providence.
We want to say that we should come to Jesus not just for what He will provide,
but for His Unconditional love and His Divine Redemption, as He died once and
conquered death by His Triumphant Resurrection, so come to Him, know Him,
receive Him and He said all that call on His name shall be saved, and those He
saved He made a Joint-Heir in His Kingdom.
Philippians 4:12 (NKJV)
12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all
things, I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to
suffer need.
Accept His Invitation today; come to our Lord as He is willing to accept you just
as you are…
Prayer: Heavenly Father in Jesus our Redeemer we come Lord knowing that You
are on the Throne of Righteousness and through You Lord Jesus we can be
Redeemed as we come with a contrite heart seeking Your Forgiveness. Lord we
thank you for Your Saving Grace and our Visitors, Lord bless us all as we give
You our Praises and to You Lord Jesus is the Power and the Glory now and
forevermore… Amen.

FRIDAY July 9, 2021
Which earliest event you can recall in your life? Do you remember when you
were christened? I do at around age 10 months old. What? Some may say I am
kidding… no I am not, I can still recalled being taken by my God-Father who was
an Anglican Priest, and being sprinkled with water, then handed back to my
Mom.
According to researchers… On average the earliest memories that people can
recall point back to when they were just two-and-a-half years old, a new study
suggests. On average the earliest memories that people can recall point back to
when they were just two-and-a-half years old.
Memory is a good thing, Why do we remember some things well, while other memories
fade? Researchers suggest it could be that good memories persist longer than bad – helping
to keep the human race happy and resilient.
Psychologists say that holding onto our good memories - and leaving the bad ones behind –
helps us to deal with unpleasant situations and retain a positive outlook on life. (From a BBC
Article)
We can still see the vivid image of the plane flying into the Trade Center tower,
this is forever emblazoned in our memory.
But what more… is the vision of Christ on the Cross, as we thank God for His
Redemption through Jesus our Lord and Savior.
Th
Can we all say this? Today…. We hope all our readers may be able to do this in
sincerity.

THURSDAY July 8, 2021
Karma, Luck, Success, Fortune…
Karma is a line in the sand, crossing from good to bad could affect
Your future life… Luck is an uncontrolled process in one’s life, it is like throwing
A dice, Success is the outcome of being prepared, applying knowledge,
Focusing of the objective, and seeking the Divine guidance and Providence of
The Lord.
How do we know that God will guide us? He led the Israelites by Smoke and
Fire, He also provided their daily meals. And they conquered in His name.
But ‘Faith’ in God is a must, as the people sent to explore Canaan came back and
reported that there was no way the Israelites could conquer the land, because
the people were like gains, and they felt like grasshoppers.
Joshua and Caleb were the two spies who brought back a good Report and
believed that God would enable them to succeed. They remained faithfully
trusting in God, the rest of this event we know the outcome…
We say ‘Event’ usually the slogan is, the rest of the ‘story’ we know.
When we read the Holy Bible, nothing is a ‘story’ Jesus did present narratives
of events to come, and examples of good versus evil… yet we do not call these
stories, they are ‘Thesis’, as in taking the Theory to the Thesis. Meaning that
the theory is substanti
