Matthew 24:42,44

Jesus said,

” Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.

“Therefore, you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

Inspiration.

Signs of the times tell us that we are in the last days of earth’s history and Jesus’ return is very soon.

But we do not know the exact day or time, so we need to watch and be always ready because Jesus can return at any time.

Prayer (for you)

Lord God,

How great You are. You are Mighty to save and strong to deliver me from sin and destruction.

Thank You for sending Jesus to be my Only Saviour and Redeemer.

Thank You Lord Jesus, for shedding Your precious blood to redeem and save me.

The Holy Scriptures says that ” without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins.” (forgiveness of sins)

Before Jesus came and paid the ultimate sacrifice, they used to sacrifice a lamb without blemish to atone for people’s sins.

But Jesus Who is the ” Lamb of God” Who takes away the sins of the world, He sacrificed Himself for us once and for all.

And now we do not have to use a lamb to atone for our sins.

The great transaction has been done through Jesus Christ.

Lord Jesus, thank You paying the penalty for my sins.

And for letting us know that You will return – but this time not as the suffering Saviour, but as King of kings and Lord of lords.

To receive those of us who have accepted You. and redeemed by Your precious blood shed on Calvary’s cross.

Lord Jesus, thank You for warning us to be always ready because no one knows the day or hour of Your return.

You could come at any time, morning, noon or night – Your return is imminent.

Lord Jesus, please help me to be always ready to meet You when You return in all Your power and magnificent glory.

I look forward to that wonderful day, when I will see You face to face, my Saviour and Lord.

Lord Jesus, please help me to keep looking to You, ever going forward in faith, hold on to Jesus, never letting go, and keep pressing on to glory.

Because some day soon I will see You face to face, my Saviour, in all Your magnificent glory.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Psalms 9:9-10

The Lord also will be a Refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Inspiration.

Let us seek the Lord God with all our heart, mind and our soul.

Prayer (for you)

My Eternal God,

Thank You for being my help, my Refuge in times of distress and challenges.

O Lord, I yearn to be totally and completely consecrated to You, to be Wholly Thine.

Grant it Jesus, is my plea.

Lord Jesus, please forgive me of all my sins and cleanse me.

I am so glad that I know You, dear Lord, and that I have my own personal relationship with You by faith.

I ask that You develop and increase my faith in You more each day.

O Lord, please lead me to seek You in the good times as well as in the challenges times, so that when trouble comes, I will turn to You as the flower turns to the sunlight for life.

I praise and thank You for always being there to help me, to guide me and to show me what to do, and do for me what I cannot do for myself.

Dear Lord, help me always to seek You first and all things will be added to me.

Things that I need, things that are important to me, showing me  things that I do not know, and giving me wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

O Lord, give me the faith, trust and hope to seek You first in every situation,  because You will never forsake those who seek You.

I give You all the glory, praise and thanksgiving for Your loving kindness and tender mercies to me.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

I will love You, O Lord, my strength.

The Lord is my Rock and my Fortress and my Deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust.

My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

I will call upon the Lord, Who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.

As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

For who is God, except the Lord? and Who is a Rock, except our God?

It  is God Who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect.

Inspiration.

God gives His wisdom to those who seek Him and acknowledge Him in their lives for Who He is.

Every breathe that we take comes from God.

How wonderful to know You, and understand more about You each and every day.

You are the Source, Sustainer of my life and the Rock of my salvation.

Help us to choose You, dear Lord, and resist sin and the arch-enemy of our souls and who wants to destroy us.

How grateful I am to know about Your salvation, and the good news of the gospel message.

And that Jesus saves to the uttermost those who come to Him, accept Him, believe in Him, and repent of their sins.

And then we become part of the family of God, washed in the fountain – cleansed by the precious blood of our Saviour and Redeemer.

Lord Jesus, I thank You for Your great and amazing sacrifice of love to save me.

I give You all the glory, praise and thanks that only You deserve for what You have done for me – for humanity.

How wonderful, how great, how loving, kind, merciful, pitiful and compassionate You are.

Colossians 3:2

Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

Inspiration.

Quote from Charles Stanley.

” Our mind is working all the time – constantly processing information.”

” And what you think about affects you more than you realize, because who you are today is the result of what you have been thinking all these past years.”

” That is why Christians are admonished to focus our thoughts on things that honour the Lord – because God’s goal is to change us into  the likeness of Jesus Christ, and that transformation begins in our minds.”

Prayer (for you)

Eternal God,

I give You thanks and praise for another day when I can come into Your Holy Presence through prayer.

Thank You for hearing my prayer and granting me Your peace.

O Lord, please help me to protect my mind by what I listen to, what I watch and what I allow to influence me.

This is not easy because in this age and time, there is so much information around.

So I ask for Your help in choosing the perfect and holy – the things that will affect my mind in a positive way – and that will help me as I seek to become more like Jesus.

More like Jesus, in my thoughts, words and actions.

Lord Jesus, I need Your help every hour to be totally consecrated to You, and to live my life pleasing to You.

As Your Holy Scriptures says, ” that we should guard the avenues of our mind, because out of our minds comes the issues of life.

And the devil works through the minds of people to make them do and say sinful things.

Dear Lord, please help me to resist the devil and he will flee from me.

Lord Jesus, help me to draw near to You, and You will draw near to me and help me to resist temptation and the things that lead to destruction.

Lord Jesus, You are life and life eternal, so help me choose You, and I ask that You lead, guide and direct me in the things that I watch, listen to, and what I allow to influence me.

Also I ask that You guard my mind from the influence of sinful words and actions of other people.

Please give me a sound and clear mind, so that I can worship You, and follow You all the way, and be saved in Your Eternal Kingdom.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

I am so thankful for Your peace that You will give to those of us who have a close personal relationship with You.

Please help me to have a closer walk with You,  grant it Jesus is my plea.

How wonder to know that You are with me, and You are for me, and I do not need to worry or fret.

But instead I just need to take everything to You in prayer, and  have faith, hope, trust and confidence in You, because I know that You will work everything out for my good.

As the song says,

“God will take care of you, through every day and all the way.

He will take care of you, God will take care of you.”

And another song says,

” Days are filled with sorrow and care, hearts are lonely and drear.

Cast your cares on Jesus today, leave your worry and fear.

Troubled soul the Saviour can see, every heartache and tear.

Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Calvary, Calvary. Jesus is very near.

Lord Jesus, please  help me to always remember to seek You in prayer about everything,  and take my burdens to You, because burdens are lifted at Calvary.

Lord Jesus, I thank You for always being very near to me, to comfort, to help and guide me along life’s journey.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
