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.

Prayer List: Pray for Unity among us, for Justice, for mercy, for renewal of our nation, for peace and harmony among nations. Pray that all deceits, lies, and false accusations be removed. Pray that Christ will be the Center of our lives. Invite the Holy Spirit to be with you.
+++
Focus: While seeking the Lord, seek Him for His mercies, His Love and His Grace, Seek Him to ‘Thank Him’ and to Praise Him for His Majesty, His Divine Gift of Life here and to come as He gave His life for you so that You may have eternal life through Him. Praise our Lord Jesus as we say ‘Our Redeemer Lives’ and we shall see Him on that day.
Commentary: Seek the Lord as He said “you are no longer servants, but friends” …
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 |
We all have a few ‘fair weather’ friends… such a relationship with the Lord is no relationship as Jesus said…
Matthew 7:23And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ In Context | Full Chapter |
God desires goodness for us all, this is why He sent His Son Jesus…
John 3:16-17New King James Version (NKJV)
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
Note: The Text refers to ‘The World’ but in context… God was referring to the ‘people’ of the World, as He said ‘Whosoever believes in Him shall not perish’.
Remember the most profound statement ever said on earth was said by Jesus, when He said…” I am not of this world”
Good News…
A Patient & Merciful God… God through His Son Jesus came that we could be saved from the consequences of our sins
2016 years ago, yes we are in 2016 and on that first day of our calendar year Christ was born in Bethlehem fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 53 written 700+ years before the first day of 2016.
Principle: The Good News is that God has a plan inspite of our shortcoming…
He came so that we may have life and have it more abundantly… A statement made by Jesus himself; John 10:10
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. In Context | Full Chapter |
His Redemption: 1 Peter 1:18-19 NIV
For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
His Eternal Faithfulness:
John 11:25-26 New King James Version (NKJV)
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” New King James Version (NKJV)
His Faithfulness-
And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.” John 10:28-30 NKJV
It is already done by the Redeemer:
Mark 11:22-24 New International Version (NIV)
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Action/Coming to our Lord: Hebrews 11:6 NKJV
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:5-7 (in Context) Hebrews 11 (Whole Chapter)
Conclusion
Come to our Lord today as He said come unto Him and He will receive you and forgive you of your sin(s) and you will be a new creation in Christ.
Pray... Lord Jesus I come in Faith accepting Your gift of Salvation and chose to be alive in You by your Grace my Lord. Lord Jesus receive me as I repent of my sin and accept your great Salvation by your Blood of Atonement, and I seek Your divine guidance in my life, to you Lord be the Glory... Amen.
Prayer: Heavenly Father in Jesus we come, Lord we come to praise You and proclaim You as our Eternal-Sovereign God. Thank You Lord Jesus for this day and Lord because of You it is a Good Day as we Pray for our brothers and sisters and all so they too will have a Good-Day. Lord as we know that this Day is made by You and all things are made new in You, let us be reminded that this Good time will continue in spite of the ‘end’-times that we face. Lord let us use this day to pray for our Visitors and those who are seeking You to be blessed with Your Peace. We give You preeminence in our lives knowing that we shall see You as You are Jesus Messiah… To You be the power and the Glory now and forevermore… Amen.

Devotional for Saturday January 27, 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.

Being ‘Off the Grid’ could be a good thing, and ‘off-the Air’ not watching the political rivalry and the constant battle. Being off the Grid may not be easy, but off the Air tuning out the politics is easy and healthy.
The winter storm that hit Texas and many parts of the southern USA, the loss of power and the freeze disrupted businesses and personal lives. The Grid failed as the alternative ‘Green’ energy failed. Somehow, the event was a wakeup call to remind us mere humans that God is still in charge.
The recent article of…
First sun-dimming experiment will test a way to cool the Earth
www.nature.com › news feature › article
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 Friday January 26, 2024
The ever-presence of our Messiah
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 1:15
Number 2:
The coming of Jesus as declared…
The announcement of the Birth of Jesus:
Luke 2: But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
Luke 2:10-11 - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage?search=Luke%202:10-11&version=NIV
For unto you is born in the city of David, a Savior is born…
This was the first coming of Jesus, the Anointed Christ.
And:
Number 3:
The ‘second-Coming’ will be as described in the Thessalonians…
1 Thessalonians 4:17
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
In Context | Full Chapter | Other Translations
So, clarifying the “Visits” of Jesus = first on the day of Creation + Jesus born of a Virgin + His return = 1+1+ His return = third time.
Factoid: Jesus is always present in the Holy Spirit, as He said…
Where one or more are gathered He is always in the Midst when we come to the Father.
Summary: the “Second” coming is of Jesus as the Return of our Messiah, therefore it is His “Second” Return as The Messiah.
Compiled by Maurice
Praise the Messiah, In today’s society the diverse mix of ‘Religion’ and the futile worship by many groups that are denying the Divine Messiah… of God with us, even to the extent of the Chinese premier declaring his intention of rewriting the Bible.
The outcome of self declared power…
Daniel 4:25-35 ERV
King Nebuchadnezzar, you will be forced to go away from people. You will live among the wild animals. You will eat grass like cattle, and you will become wet with dew. Seven seasons will pass, and then you will learn this lesson. You will learn God Most High rules over human kingdoms and gives them to whoever he wants. “The command to leave the stump of the tree and its roots in the ground means this: Your kingdom will be given back to you. This will happen when you learn that Most High God rules your kingdom. So, King, please accept my advice. Stop sinning and do what is right. Stop doing bad things and be kind to poor people. Then you might continue to be successful.” All these things happened to King Nebuchadnezzar. Twelve months after the dream, King Nebuchadnezzar was walking on the roof of his palace in Babylon. While on the roof, the king said, “Look at Babylon! I built this great city. It is my palace. I built this great place by my power. I built this place to show how great I am.” The words were still in his mouth when a voice came from heaven.
The voice said, “King Nebuchadnezzar, these things will happen to you: Your power as king has been taken away from you. You will be forced to go away from people. You will live with the wild animals and eat grass like an ox. Seven seasons will pass before you learn your lesson. Then you will learn that God Most High rules over human kingdoms and gives them to whoever he wants.” These things happened immediately. Nebuchadnezzar was forced to go away from people. He began eating grass like an ox. He became wet from dew. His hair grew long like the feathers of an eagle, and his nails grew long like the claws of a bird. Then at the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up toward heaven, and I was in my right mind again. Then I gave praise to God Most High. I gave honor and glory to him who lives forever. God rules forever! His kingdom continues for all generations. People on earth are not really important. God does what he wants with the powers of heaven and the people on earth. No one can stop his powerful hand or question what he does.
Never exalt oneself, as this will lead to what God dis above.
Prayer:
Lerd Jesus today we declare Your as our Messiah.. Lord we seek You divine Grade and blessings on our Visitors. To you Lord Jesus is the Power and the Glory now and forever… Amen

Devotional for Thursday January 25, 2024
Prayer is “talking with God”, Sometimes, perhaps too often, the “talk” is all about us. We’ve all had those annoying conversations that have been entirely one-sided,
Sometimes our prayer is Focused on ourselves Our desires, needs, and complaints. Prayer can get like that: we pour out our woes, become totally self-absorbed, and show no interest in dialogue that involves “listening” to what God has to say. God is patient and, in His grace, He responds. But it shouldn’t be like that. When Jesus taught us to pray, He showed us that prayer begins (and continues) with God: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name” (Matt. 6:9). Take a look at the structure of the Lord’s Prayer, and it will show you that at least half of our praying should be addressed to the praise and worship of God.
The five parts of our Prayer should be:
Just like when you meet someone you say hello, so..
There is the:
1. Salutation, which is:
To acknowledge the privilege of coming in His Holy Presence, and this to acknowledge Jesus for being in our midst, as Jesus said where two or more are gathered He is in our Midst.
While Jesus is One with the Father, we do pray to the Father and knowing that Jesus is present at the right hand of God the Father. Just like when Stephen was being put to death, Stephen looked up and saw Jesus and said… “Jesus receive my Spirit” So, we must acknowledge Jesus in our Prayers.
2. Praises: To tell the Lord that His Providence and His unconditional Love ❤️ prevails in our lives and thank Him for His forgiveness as we forgive all who trespass against us. Remember if we come to him and we have any grievance with anyone we are to first forgive them and then come to Him.
3: Ask:
Jesus said we are to Ask… so we are to make our petition known but, we are to be in faith that whatever we ask for in His Name it will be granted. But there are times when we ask and it is not granted.
James said this
When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
James 4:3 –
Jesus said This:
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” Mark 11:22-25 -
4: Our request(s) made by in Jesus’ Name…
And the Bible said.. we are to Delight ourselves in Him. And the desires of our hearts will be granted..
Psalms >>>>>
5: Thanking the Lord in Faith.
Father God, Lord Jesus we thank you for your Divine portion and by Your Grace we acknowledge your covenant of Grace than made us Joint Heirs by your Saving Grace, we thank You Lord…
6. Giving the Lord the Glory (Closing)
In your Name Lord Jesus we commit in your Holy Hands… and to You Lord Jesus is the Power and the Glory now and forevermore… Amen.
Therefore; ‘Let us hold unswervingly to the Hope we profess, for He who promised (Jesus) is Faithful. "I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee."
Isaiah 44:22 KJV
“Ask, Seek & Knock… >>>>>
Philippians 4:4-6 (21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
4Rejoice in the Lord always; and again, I say, "Rejoice!"
5Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
Prayer:
Father in Heaven, in Jesus we come. We thank You in the name of Jesus our Redeemer and our Sovereign Eternal God in One of Your Divine Holy Trinity, Lord Jesus Your Majestic Powers and Your Everlasting Love for us and your Grace are all we need. Lord We Love You Lord, we praise You and we are privileged to bring Your Good News to the ends of the world. Lord bless our Visitors and grant us all Your Divine Providence as You know our needs before we ask. Lord Jesus to You is the Power and the Glory now and forevermore… Amen.

Devotional for Wednesday January 24, 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.

Devotional for Tuesday January 23, 2024
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.

The best is yet to come...
On earth the covenant from the Bible all written to the nation of Israel, when Christ said it is it is finished , the covenant of grace was installed by our high priest Jesus.
The challenges of this world which is driven by major policymakers, banks, thus causing anxiety and confusion. The talks of digital currency, bitcoins, inflation, and the looming balance of payment, it is no wonder that we live in a time that is supposed to be with security, instead all these news creates anxiety and uncertainty.
On the geological front they are more catastrophic events of earthquakes, volcano eruptions and the talk of climate change. All these are part of the history of the world. Global warming is a climatic change as the snow pact melted revealing an old silver mine. So, the talks of global warming by ‘experts’ these are from the same school of engineering that designed and built the Titanic.
Knowing that the Church is built on one foundation… and that it is by Jesus Christ our Lord.
So, let’s sing of the Goodness of God,
We Know Him as a Father and as a Friend, knowing that He is our Redeemer.
Praise God for Jesus who is the incarnate God in One of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. His unending Grace abounds in each of us who puts our trust and adore our Lord.
PSALM 37:4

He “Jesus” holds all things together - The Incomparable Christ (fri01182013)
********
Think on This: Praying is Asking God to do what you request… It is not preparing yourself to do what you cannot do. So, ask that the Lord prepare you and allow you to do what is within your capability, and ask Him for His Super-Natural doing of the things that you cannot do, as He is all powerful and He ready to grant your request in Jesus Name.
Grace brings Freedom through the Holy Spirit-Follow the Spirit
Prayer is the pillar of our faith and we are strengthened by coming to our Lord. Knowing that Jesus our Sovereign Eternal God is One in His Holy Trinity of His father, our Creator and His Holy Spirit, will do miracles in our lives….
Prayer is a divine way of communicating with our Father, knowing that we pray to our Father our Creator through Jesus our Mediator who intercedes on our behalf as Jesus is our High Priest and as our Sovereign God in one of Father, Son and Holy Spirit; because HE said no one comes to the father unless through Him…. While we pray without any man-made device, this is a super-natural event that we can acknowledge by our Lord’s promise that He would send His Holy Spirit to be with us. When we walk and seek our Lord, we are always guided through the shadow of the Valley of death, fear and turmoil of this world, knowing that His Shadow of Mercies is always close to those that seek our Lord.
We are to boldly come to our Lord knowing that He said we are to do this as He said…
John 14:6 (New King James Version (NKJV)
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”.
As we read in John 14:16, Our Lord Jesus the Son of God; said He will intercede to His Father on our behalf… Jesus Son of God prays to His Father to send us another advocate (His Holy Spirit) The Holy Spirit He sends will be with us forever.
We are also reminded in 1 Timothy 2 ‘Instructions on Worship’
1. I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people –
2. for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
3. This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
4: who wants all people to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth.
5: For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,
6: who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.
Therefore; ‘Let us hold unswervingly to the Hope we profess, for He who promised (Jesus) is Faithful. "I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee."
Isaiah 44:22 KJV
“Ask, Seek & Knock… >>>>>
Philippians 4:4-6 (21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
4Rejoice in the Lord always; and again, I say, "Rejoice!"
5Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
Prayer:
Father in Heaven, in Jesus we come. We thank You in the name of Jesus our Redeemer and our Sovereign Eternal God in One of Your Divine Holy Trinity, Lord Jesus Your Majestic Powers and Your Everlasting Love for us and your Grace are all we need. Lord We Love You Lord, we praise You and we are privileged to bring Your Good News to the ends of the world. Lord bless our Visitors and grant us all Your Divine Providence as You know our needs before we ask. Lord Jesus to You is the Power and the Glory now and forevermore… Amen.

Thanking our Provider, our Redeemer and make Him the Author of yfuture in Faith.
Focus: Give Thanks to the Lord for His ‘Priceless-Gift’… Praise Him for His Sovereignty, His Divine Grace and Redemption. Thank him for His Unconditional Love.
‘The Oneness in Christ’ that where one or more are gathered in His Name, Jesus is in our midst; and as we end
Today as many gather in His House of Worship, let us be reminded of our prayers, by saying “in Your Holy Name We Pray Lord Jesus’…. Not using the ‘third-party’ inference of saying…’In Jesus Name we pray’. Why? Because He Jesus is already present. He is not missing and absent in the Prayer.
The sudden abrupt ending of Prayers by “In Jesus Name we pray” and not “IN ‘Your’ Name Lord Jesus we pray… I am sure our Lord will understand but He may be saying ‘Am I not in the presence of the Prayer’
Jesus Christ did the same for you and us… He called you to be a member of Royalty…
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
His ‘Priceless-Gift’…
His Priceless Gift is something we cannot purchase, earn it, inherit it or own it because we ‘deserve’ it.
This is the Grace of God…
Ephesians 2:8-9New King James Version (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.
Can you imagine that when you arrive in Heaven you meet this fellow who said…’Let me tell you how I got here’ I made it on my own, because I am the greatest. Mohammed Ali once said:” I am the Greatest” but remembering that we are mere humans, created in the Likeness of God… but we are born with a blemish. This blemish is ‘sin’ as by one made sin entered into the world, and by One Redeemer we are saved.
Therefore, being redeemed by the Blood…
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,
Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
Remember, we are being Saved from the wrath of God through Jesus Christ.
and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. In Context | Full Chapter |
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. In Context | Full Chapter |
His Faithfulness and His Eternal Promise…
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. In Context | Full Chapter |
Prayer: Heavenly Father in Jesus our Lord and Savior we come… Lord today as we gather together we give You our Praises and we give You first-place in our lives. Lord we thank you for being our Mediator and because of Your Righteousness Lord and Your Divine Redemption we are saved by Your Grace. We thank You Lord as we seek your blessings upon our Visitors and Your Divine Providence on us all. To You Lord Jesus is the Power and the Glory now and forevermore… Amen.

The codes of conduct have changed so drastically that four letter words, known as the F’bomb is a normal mode of communication. So, what is this world coming down to? Ethics is at an all time low…lying and cheating is the standard operating system. The Federal communications regulatory code were probably rewritten without notice, Commercial and especially the drug pushing by big pharma exceeds the program contents.
The innocence of America has been stolen by law makers. While advertising a drug for ‘Clear skin’ the disclaimer will say taking this may cause multiple side effects including cancer. So, one could get clear skin but die from cancer. This exactly like gaining the world but losing your soul.
We speak of ‘losing’ one’s soul. To many the ‘Soul’ is secondary, and it is not an essential component. But it should be known that each of us were created in the likeness of God our Creator. Being in the likeness of God our Creator He lives forever, and so do we. Therefore, the life beyond will be the ‘longest’ portion of what one will experience.
Jesus told of the rich man and the beggar… Lazarus, while the rich man lived a life of affluence, Lazarus the beggar laid at his gate, they both died, Lazarus was taken in a place of solace, the rich man was taken to a place where he wanted to die, but he could not. He looked and saw Lazarus with Abraham, and asked for a tip of water but the divide was impossible to breach.
Today we can have the assurance from our Creator, Jesus our Redeemer came so that we maiy ave life and have it more abundantly.
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
Lord Jesus we come in Your holy presence. We thank Your for Your Divine Redemption and Your Grace we are saved. Lord bless our Visitors and grant us all Your Providence. To You Lord Jesus is the power and the Glory now and forevermore… Amen.

Action/Coming to our Lord:
Ephesians 1:7(AMP)
7 In Him we have (deliverance and salvation) through His blood, the remission (forgiveness) of our offenses (shortcomings and trespasses), in accordance with the riches and the generosity of His gracious favor.
Text: 1 Samuel 16-19
New International Version (NIV)
Samuel Anoints David
16 The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king.”
2 But Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears about it, he will kill me.”
The Lord said, “Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.’3 Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what to do. You are to anoint for me the one I indicate.”
4 Samuel did what the Lord said. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the elders of the town trembled when they met him. They asked, “Do you come in peace?”
5 Samuel replied, “Yes, in peace; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves and come to the sacrifice with me.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
6 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed stands here before the Lord.”
7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, “TheLord has not chosen this one either.” 9 Jesse then had Shammah pass by, but Samuel said, “Nor has the Lord chosen this one.” 10 Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, “The Lord has not chosen these.” 11 So he asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?”
“There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered. “He is tending the sheep.”
Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.”
12 So he sent for him and had him brought in. He was glowing with health and had a fine appearance and handsome features.
Then the Lord said, “Rise and anoint him; this is the one.”
13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David.
Commentary: To be successful we must first possesses several inherent principles, winning the lottery tomorrow and being broke a year from now is not success. Success is more than just having a lot of money.
Success is defined as…
2. degree or measure of succeeding
3: favorable or desired outcome; also : the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence
4: one that succeeds
While David was in the field tending his flock, his degree of success was warding off predators from attacking his flocks. He had no idea that he would be king over Israel, but the Lord chose him. We all know about his many exploits, but even then God chose David, do you think that God had no knowledge of David’s future? Including his affairs with Bathsheba and having her husband killed? Most certainly God knew as He knows everything even before it happens. But God who made us, knew that David was still a Man, and He knew that all of man’s intent was carnal and unwieldy, so God made a way for us to receive His Forgiveness. (Psalms 551) David who wrote many of the Psalms, wrote his Prayer of Repentance and asked God for His forgiveness, and God forgave him and also continued to bless David.
Principle: For there is One GOD and One Mediator between God and Man, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all… 1 Timothy 2: 5-6 NKJ
Conclusion: Whom God chooses, He will see that His (God’s) plan is carried out through the one He chooses. He chose, Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, and He may have chosen you too. For certain He knows you by name, even before you were born. So as we aim for Success to achieve that utopia, let us seek Fulfillment through our Lord Jesus. Because He said Seek Him First and His Righteousness…
His Promise / His Faithfulness:
Matthew 6:33 (AMP)
33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.
Action/Coming to our Lord:
Ephesians 1:7(AMP)
7 In Him we have redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His blood, the remission (forgiveness) of our offenses (shortcomings and trespasses), in accordance with the richesand the generosity of His gracious favor.
Prayer: Heavenly Father in Jesus we come. Lord Jesus we Thank You for choosing us and remembering us that You came and Redeemed us. Lord Your statement that You are not of this world we acknowledge as on that day the trumpet will sound and the Heavens will open with Your majestic return, seen from the east to the west. Lord Your Divine Grace we accept, and we look to that day when we shall see You as You are. Lord. Bless our Visitors and grant Your favors to all, as we pray in Your Holy name Lord Jesus to You is the Power and the Glory now and forevermore… Amen.

A Happy weekend… End t
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.

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
