He’s at Work in You

Wednesday 5th April 2023   For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Philippians 2:13 KJV   Sometimes, we feel that we need to do all the pushing to be serious with our spiritual lives. We think we need to prove ourselves to the Lord and become what he dreams of us.   However, the Word tells us above that it is the Lord who is working in you to will and do of His good pleasure.   The good pleasure of the Lord is the will of God. In other words, the Lord works in us all the time to make us not just have the WILL to do His pleasure, but to even make us DO it. Hallelujah.   As long as you are born again, you already have this powe... »

Always Working on You

Tuesday 4th April 2023   But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. Proverbs 4:18 NKJV   The Word tells us here that your path ought to keep shining brighter and brighter, even unto perfection.   In other words, we should always be moving higher and higher in different aspects of our lives, as long as we are in Christ. This is the Word’s view about us.   We should always be moving forward, especially in our spiritual lives and in the area of our character.   A sign that our walk with God is okay is that, no matter what, there should always be something the Lord is leading you to work on in your character... »

fruit of the spirit

Why is the Fruit of the Spirit Important?

Monday 3rd April 2023   Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.   One of the most beautiful verses in the Word of God is where it tells us of the impact of the Spirit of God in the human spirit, and the fruit it produces. It is our theme verse for today.   Here is how the Amplified Bible puts it:   But the fruit of the Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness, Galatians 5:22 AMPC   These fruits are ve... »

by the word

How to be Energized by the Word

Friday 31st March 2023 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1 Cor 1:18   The Bible lets us know that the Gospel of Christ (the Word of God) is the power of God.   In other words, the power or the energy of God is communicated to our spirits when we listen to, or hear the Word of God.   Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.   Put differently, the Word of God communicates the power of God to our human spirit, and it also communicates faith to it.   Could it be that these verses are trying to basically communicate the same event to us?   When ... »

Multiply Your Blessings

Thursday 30th March 2023   ‘His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. ‘ Matthew 25:21   In the parable of the talents, a master went on a journey and shared different talents among his servants based on their differing abilities. When he came back, he noticed that they had each used their talents differently and produced different results. Some had multiplied their talents, and others had not.   Notice here that the servants who did well multiplied their talents in the way their master wanted. According to the parable, th... »
