IS GOD FIRST? Part 13

LightWord:

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3


In our focal Scripture of today, God said you shall have no other gods before me. Notice He didn't say beside Him, He said before Him. Because God refuses to compete for first place in our lives. Just like the story of that rich young ruler in the Bible.


In Mark 10:17-22, this man seems morally good. He followed the commandments. He respected Jesus. But when Jesus told him to give up his possessions and follow Him, the man went away sad. Why? Because money has become his true god.


Say this to yourself: Lord Jesus, everything or everyone that has become my true god in place of You, as I put You first from now on, let them all be revealed and give me the grace to put them aside in Jesus' name. Amen!

It's Great To Serve God! Part 9

LightWord: “I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him.” Psalm 89:20 You can be a layman and still be a bonafide servant of the most high God. It is not necessary you wait till you are ordained as a pastor or an evangelist, or as of any title before you can serve God or before your services to Him can be acceptable. A confirmed original servant of God simply means anyone engaged in serving God. Do you know Job wasn't a pastor neither a prophet? Yet, God was proud and bold of him. God said to the devil have you noticed Job my servant Job 1:8 , David was just a king but he served God and became God's favorite. ( See Ps. 89:20-38 ). With God, ordination doesn't come before service but vice-versa. Just serve God as you are, everywhere you can and become God's favorite. Say this to yourself: Thank You Father because as I'm serving You, I'm confirmed Your favorite from today and I'm favored in all my ways in Jesus' name. Amen!

New Year, New You! Part 2

LightWord: “Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.” Matthew 9:17 Have you ever wondered why many people get into the new year and out of the year with everything still the same? Yes, it does happen, simply because such people never understand how to maximize the new year for their new beginning. To maximize a new year in one's life, Let me start with this powerful word that will really get you engaged in whatever it takes to really make the most of it. First, you must know that it is not the movement of the clock that produces the newness of life nor the change in figure of the calendar. It is the movement in your mind .

Lord, I really want to experience the newness of life, by Your power, help me to change every old bottles of my life that may makes all my effort unproduct...

SECRET TO GREATNESS! Part 7

Image
LightWord: “But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.” Matthew 23:11 Scripture says in Mark 10vs45 “for even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve...” Serve who? To serve others. So, to be like Jesus is to put on a servanthood garment and serving others. The word of God makes it clear that Jesus didn't come from heaven to the earth in order to be ordained as the Chieftainship of Nazareth, no! but to be a servant, giving his life as a ransom for many. Say this to yourself: Father, thank You for this knowledge coming across my way. Please give me the understanding of Your Word so as to walk in the reality of this greatness in Jesus' name. Amen!
