[10/11, 3:26 PM] MY TESTIMONY: Rejoice evermore.Pray without ceasing.In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-17
INSPIRATION
God desires that we rejoice always and be thankful in every situation. This may sound like it’s “easier said than done” but when you are in Christ, it is very possible. By praying continually – which is something else God desires that we do – we are reminded of God’s faithfulness and His goodness. This is how we are able to rejoice and give thanks in every situation; it’s because we know that is always with us.
LET'S PRAY 🙏
Dear God, I thank You that in every situation I am able to rejoice because of Your faithfulness and Your unfailing goodness. Lord, even in the toughest situations, I have joy because there is nothing greater on this earth than You and Your love. Thank You for always being with me, Lord. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
[10/11, 11:55 PM] MY TESTIMONY: For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
1 Corinthians 11:23-24
INSPIRATION
Communion services should be kept solemn, given what they represent. The blood of Jesus shed for us and his body broken for us are precious and not to be partaken of "unworthily." Christ passed on this ordinance to Paul, who passed it on to the Church at Cornith. It is a holy tradition that goes back to Jesus himself.
LET'S PRAY
Lord Jesus, let us take holy communion in remembrance of the great sacrifice you made for us on the cross. Let it not seem a mere routine ritual, but let us sense its true meaning and treat it with utmost respect. And let us learn the Gospel lesson that it signifies and take that out to a lost and dying world.
[10/12, 6:33 PM] MY TESTIMONY: YOU'VE GOT MESSAGE FROM GOD.
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 54:17
INSPIRATION
There is nothing the devil tries that will be able to snatch you out of God’s hand. He will try to attack you with all kinds of weapons and he will use people to try and bring you down with harsh words and damaging untruths. But none of these attacks of the enemy will ever be able to prevail against you. Not while God, your Father, is still around. Not ever.
LET'S PRAY 🙏 IN RESPONSE.
Dear God, I thank You for the assurance You have given me that no matter what may happen or come my way, You will always be there to protect me and help me overcome the wiles of the enemy. Lord, I know that the devil will try time and time again to bring me down but I am not shaken, for You are my refuge. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
[10/12, 11:45 PM] MY TESTIMONY: For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Romans 12:4-5
INSPIRATION
The Church of God, and each local church in particular, are made up of a diverse group of believers whom God has gifted with different natural talents and spiritual gifts. And he has called different members of this one great Body to different ministries, but all should be done in submission the Head of the Body, which is Christ.
LET'S PRAY 🙏
Show me, Lord, where I might fit in in my local church and in the whole Body of Christ. Let me seek to serve you, and in the process of seeking your glory and your will to be done, let me find the ministry you have in store for me. Amen.
[10/13, 6:36 PM] MY TESTIMONY: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Philippians 2: 7-8
INSPIRATION
Jesus wasn’t afraid to be seen with different kinds of people – regardless of their social standing. The Pharisees called Jesus all kinds of names because of the people He was found visiting, but Jesus didn’t care. Classism and any other form of prejudice are not welcome in the life of a beginner. We are called to love everyone and reach out to every person and preach the gospel to them. How can we exemplify the love of God if we choose to be prejudiced towards a certain group of people?
LET'S PRAY 🙏
Dear God, I thank You for the love that is in my heart. Thank You for setting the example of how we are to love everyone around us. Lord, if I harbor any prejudice may You make it known to me and may You help me deal with it. I desire to treat everyone equally with the love that You have given to me so freely. In Jesus’ name, I pray amen.
[10/18, 1:40 PM] MY TESTIMONY: And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
Mark 9:35
INSPIRATION
As it says in James 4:10, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” Does being first matter when there is everlasting life awaiting us? If you want to be first, Jesus says, it is not about being ahead of others or above them. It is about wanting to serve EVERYONE. Being the last person to want to be ahead is the only way to finish first in the Lord’s eyes.
LET'S PRAY
I am Your servant, God. I am everyone’s servant. I ask that You strengthen my patience, humility, and desire to help others. Forgive me for wanting to place myself above other people. I know this is wrong and I pray that You help remember the place that I truly want: next to You, my God, and Your son, Jesus Christ, in heaven. Amen.
[10/18, 11:54 PM] MY TESTIMONY: Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
Proverbs 3:31-32
INSPIRATION
There is nothing that is of the devil that we should consider as an object of our desire. The things of the world, which are ultimately of the enemy, are an abomination in the Lord’s eyes – this is because they are contrary to the ways of God. Stay away from evil influences and remain rooted in the word of God, it will save you from much trouble and even death. God has called us to live a much higher life.
Praying the SCRIPTURES
Dear God, I pray that my eyes will always remain focused on anything that concerns you. I am aware of the evil in this world and no part of me desires to be a part of such. Help me to remain in your ways, Lord. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
