Wednesday, Novermber 7th, 2007 - He loves you

How time flies! November seems to just have started, and already, it is the 7th of November. How is everybody doing this morning? Hope good. Be of good cheer - He has overcome the world. This is just an encouragement for you to know that as you have been doing the Lord's commandment, that He loves you dearly, even as His own Father loves you. Remember that God is not unrighteous to forget your labour of love, in that you minister and do minister to His saints. Remember that even a cup of water that you have given out, will be recorded to your credit. So keep on abounding in good works, and may you work continually in those good works which God before ordained that you work in, as His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, remembering that the Holy Spirit is ever present to help you and strengthen you, and may all these works be to the glory and praise of God the Father, in Jesus name, amen.

Have a blessed day.

"He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him." John 14v21

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007 - Praise the Lord

Hello everyone,
how are you doing on this day? I hope well. The Word of God says in John 14v21 that:

"He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love Him, and will manifest Myself to him."


So here we see a progression. First, that when we have Christ's commandments and keep them, we show that we love Him. Again, he that loveth Jesus, shall be loved of His Father - The Most High God.

Want to be loved by Jesus' Father, keep Jesus' commandments.

Have a blessed day.

Thank You Father, thank You Son, thank You Holy Spirit of God.

Monday, November 05, 2007 – What do you do with what you have?

Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. How do you show that you love someone? Hmm… Jesus gives us a criteria for judging if we love Him or not. He says in John 14v21:

“He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him.”

What are Jesus’ commandments? Well, one of His commandments can be seen in John 15v12&13:

“This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

Our dearest Heavenly Father,
We thank You so much for today, we thank You for Your grace, for Your goodness, for Your lovingkindness, for Your tendermercies. We thank You our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We thank You for interceding for us and we thank You for preparing a place for us in Your Father’s house, so that where You are, we also can be. We thank You Holy Spirit of God. We thank You for Your comfort, we thank You for Your counsel, love, might and strength. Thank You Most High God. Lord we love You and we know that we cannot say we love God if we hate our neighbours – it means we do not even know You, for You are love. Father Lord, please grant unto us a Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. Jesus, we want to know You, the power of Your resurrection, the fellowship of Your suffering and be made conformable to Your death; Holy Spirit, show us the heavenly way of doing things – that at the end of the day, we may do the commandments of Jesus and walk down the narrow path which leads to life everlasting. Eternal Rock of Ages, we pray Thou Lord of the Harvest, for those who do not know You, that You send forth labourers into Your harvest, for the harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers are few. We pray and ask all these things in Jesus mighty and exalted name, amen.

Sunday, November 4, 2007 – IN THAT DAY

Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. I am good and things are going well here in Boston, MA. The weather is becoming a tad bit chilly but we bless God who is able to warm us from the inside out.

The Bible says in John 14v20 that:

“At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you.”

A number of questions arise from this passage, for example – what day is Jesus referring to? Is it the day when He comes back to rapture His church, or another day? Also, how come its not certain that the disciples would know before that day, why on that particular day. Would it not be great to remember that Jesus is in His Father? If indeed we are in Jesus and He in us, would it not be great to know that and to remember that every day. Questions, questions, questions and even more so, what is the significance for us today that Jesus is in His Father, and we are in Jesus and He is in us?

Have a very blessed day.

Psalms for praise
“BEHOLD, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garment;” Psalm 133v1&2

Our dearest heavenly Father,
We thank You so much for today, we thank You for Your goodness, for Your faithfulness, for Your lovingkindness. We praise You for who You are and all that You do in our lives. We thank You for our lives that are no longer ours but Yours. We praise You because You are our Sole Dependency and a marvelous and faithful God. Father we pray that in anyway that we are defiling our bodies, which are Your temple, please forgive us, grant us the grace to stop every such activity and wash us clean with the precious blood of Jesus. Dear Lord, please show us what the significance of Jesus being in the Father, and we in Him and He in us mean. Reveal to us O God this thing we ask of You, in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord of the harvest, we pray too that You send forth labourers into Your harvest, for the harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers are few. Thank You Father, thank You Son, thank You Holy Spirit of God – all these we pray in Jesus high and exalted name, amen.

Saturday, November 3, 2007 – Our little secret

… only that it is not so little – it is partout – everywhere, and it really cannot be hidden. Jesus died and rose again, and there is no denying that.

“Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more; but ye see Me: because I live, ye shall live also.” John 14v19

Have a great day.

Friday, November 2, 2007 – More comfort – not orphans

Hello everyone,
How are you doing? I hope well and things are going great on your end. An encouragement – little little little things may happen to you today, tomorrow, the day after … but be of good cheer, Jesus has overcome the world.

In John 14v18, Jesus reminds us that:
“I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”

“I will not leave you as orphans [comfortless, desolate, bereaved, forlorn, helpless]; I will come [back] to you.” John 14v18 (Amplified Bible)

We have a future, a hope, an expected end. Jesus is coming back for us to take us where He is – to His Father’s house. In the meantime, we have the Holy Spirit here, caring for us, soothing us, counseling us, interceding for us, bringing to remembrance the Words that Jesus spoke to us. YOU ARE NOT AN ORPHAN – but a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people.

Have a very beautiful day.

Father Lord,
We thank You so much for all the provisions of love You have made for us. We thank You for Your overwhelming presence with us. We thank You for Your love, for Your peace, for Your joy, for Your comfort. We thank You because we do have tribulation in the world, yet we can be of good cheer, because Jesus has overcome the world. We thank You for Your Holy Spirit with us, for indeed with Him … Precious Lord, we thank You for those who do not know You, and ask that You draw them into a relationship with You. We offer our lives as a living sacrifice unto You, holy and acceptable and pray that You teach us to do Your will and let Your name and Your name alone be glorified in our lives. Thank You Father, thank You Son, thank You Holy Spirit of God, in Jesus name we pray, amen.

Verses for thought:
“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,

Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory.” Ephesians 1v13&14

Thursday, November 1st, 2007 – But ye know Him

Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. Guess what? Today is the first day of November – only 2 months more for the end of 2007. How time flies! Daddy we thank You for January, we praise You for February, we lift You up high for March, we adore You for April, we extol You for May, we magnify You for June, we appreciate You for July, we worship You for August, we love You September, we amour You for October, we are appreciative of November and of December. Thank You Father, thank You Son, thank You Holy Spirit of God, and thank You ministering angels of God.

Jesus continues to say to His disciples, that when He is gone, He will ask the Father to send us another Comforter, who is:

“Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” John 14v17

No wonder we act all different, all peculiar – we have a different Spirit, we know a different Spirit, we walk after a different Spirit, and no other person knows Him, or sees Him or can receive Him but us.
