Acts 4:12

Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved.

Devotion.

Salvation comes only through Jesus, our Saviour, Who died on Calvary’s cross to save sinners.

The Holy Bible says, ” there is none righteous, no not one.”

Everyone has sinned and need the cleaning blood of Jesus Christ, our Saviour.

Prayer (for you)

Eternal Father,

Thank You for another day to seek You with all my heart, soul and mind in prayer.

And bring all my cares ( my anxieties) to You and You hear me and will do for me what is best.

O Lord Jesus, thank You for what You did for me – for humanity – for our salvation.

You died to set us free from the bondage of sin and destruction.

And to make us part of the family of God, and to give us eternal life through Your great sacrifice of love.

O Lord, my faith, trust and hope is in You, and I thank You, I honour, glorify, praise and exalt You, for what You have done to save me.

Forgive me of my sins and cleanse me with Your Holy, precious blood.

To God be the glory, great things, He has done.

Praise the Lord.

In Jesus’ precious name, I pray with thanksgiving. Amen.

Hymn.

Just as I am, without one plea.

But that Thy blood was shed for me.

And that Thou bid’st me come to Thee.

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

2.

Just as I am, Thou wilt receive.

Will welcome, pardon, cleanse, receive.

Because Thy promise I believe.

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Hallelujah! Amen.

 

 

 

 

Psalms 53:2

God looks down from Heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.

Devotion.

Sin breaks our connection/ relationship with God.

When sin separates us from our Creator God, we need to call out to Jesus, because He is very close to help us.

Prayer (for you)

Eternal Father,

What a wonder God, You are to us, Your creation.

You made us in Your Likeness after Your Image, and breathe into our nostril the breath of life.

And when humanity fell into sin and degradation, You made a way for us to be saved from our sin, and be renewed by the blood of Jesus Christ, our Saviour.

So I will seek You, O Lord, with all our heart, soul and mind.

The Holy Scriptures says, ” we will find the Lord God, if we search for Him with all our heart, soul and mind.

Help me to search diligently for You through Bible reading, Bible study, and prayer.

O Lord, thank You for providing a way for us to communicate with You through prayer.

A time when I can tell You everything, things that I cannot tell anyone else.

And the God of the Universe hears my every prayer, and will do for me what is always in my best interests.

So I will always seek the Lord, pray without ceasing- i.e. pray anytime and anywhere.

I can pray aloud or quietly in my heart –  I can pray kneeling, standing or sitting.

O Lord, please help me to be pleasing in Your Sight and to understand You and to always seek You.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Psalms 5:11

Let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them.

Devotion.

We should be glad and rejoice in the God of our salvation. Because He is always there to help us, provide for us, and to defend us and save us from sin.

Prayer (for you)

Heavenly Father,

You are the Only true and living God, and there is no other, bur You.

And You are my Rock, my Defense, and the Lord God of my salvation.

I give You thanks and praise for Your loving kindness, tender mercies and compassions to me.

For Your great salvation so rich and free, to whoever comes to You in faith seeking to be saved from sin and destruction.

I rejoice and I am glad that I have my own close personal relationship with You, the Creator God of the Universe and of the Cosmos.

And You created everything that exists.

O Lord, please forgive me of my sins, and continue to lead and guide me as I journey along the narrow pathway.

Keep me steadfast and help me to endure to the end, so that I can see saved and sanctified.

What a wonderful day it will be when I will see my Lord and Saviour, face to face.

I look forward to that glorious day with great anticipation.

Thank You, dear Lord, for all that You have done for me, and what You will continue to do in my life.

My faith, hope and trust is in You, O Lord God Almighty.

I love and adore You.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Hymn

O God, my help in ages past.

Our hope for years to come.

Our shelter from the stormy blast.

And our eternal home.

2.

Under the shadow of Thy Throne.

Still may we dwell secure.

Sufficient is Thine arm alone.

And our defense is sure.

3.

Before the hills in order stood.

Or earth received her frame.

From everlasting Thou art God.

To endless years the same.

4.

A thousand ages, in Thy Sight.

Are like an evening gone.

Short as the watch that ends the night.

Before the rising sun.

5.

O God, our help in ages past.

Our hope for years to come.

Be Thou our guide while life shall last.

And our eternal home.

Praise the Lord! Amen.

 

Romans 6:23

The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Devotion,

Everyone is a sinner who needs Jesus.

We cannot pay the penalty for our sins, no good work can earn us eternal life.

Our only hope for eternal life is to receive Jesus as our Saviour.

Jesus paid the penalty for our sins on Calvary’s cross, and if we accept Him as Saviour, we will receive the gift of eternal life.

Prayer (for you)

Heavenly Father,

How wonderful to know that I have a Saviour, Lord Jesus, Who has paid the penalty for my sins on Calvary’s cross.

The Holy Bible says, ” without the shedding of blood there is no remission. (forgiveness of sins.) Hebrews 9:22b

So Jesus is the ” Lamb of God” Who takes away the sins of the world.

And if I accept Him as my Saviour, confess and ask for forgiveness, I will be saved from sin.

And I will receive God’s gift of eternal life though Jesus Christ, my Saviour.

But those who do not receive Jesus as their Saviour will get eternal death.

So we have a choice to make – accept Jesus and receive eternal life.

Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!

God is good and His tender mercies endures forever and ever.

And He loves me with an Infinite love, and wants me to be part of the family of God and give me the gift of eternal life.

And I get to see Jesus, my Saviour when He returns soon, in all His power and magnificent glory as King of kings and Lord of lords.

What a wonderful day that will be.

O Lord, please help me be ready and stay ready because You could come at anytime.

I love and adore You and bless Your Holy name.

Praise God from Who all blessing flow.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Hymn

I hear the Saviour say.

Thy strength indeed is small.

Child of weakness, watch and pray.

Find in Me thine all in all.

Chorus.

Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe.

Sin has left a crimson stain.

He washed it white as snow.

2.

Lord, now indeed I find.

Thy power, and Thine alone.

Can change the leper’s spots.

And melt the heart of stone.

3.
Since nothing good have I.

Where-by Thy grace to claim.

I’ll wash my garments white.

In the blood of Calvary’s Lamb.

4.

And when before the Throne.

I stand in Him complete.

I’ll lay my trophies down.

All at Jesus’ feet.

Yes, Jesus paid the penalty for our sins.

And we have a very important choice to make.

Choose Jesus and live eternally.

Glory! Hallelujah! Amen.

 

 

 

 

 

John 17:3

And this is eternal life that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ Whom You have sent.

Devotion.

” Jesus stated that the prerequisite of entering Heaven is to do the will of God and to know God – for we can’t do His will without knowing Him.

When we love God, we’ll want to know His ways, and do His will, because we know there is nothing better for us to do.

Our response to Creator God, and our obedience to Him will be an overflow of our love, and will show the true nature of our relationship with Him.”  Quote from SS Lesson.

Prayer (for you)

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your Plan of Salvation.

My desire is to know You much more, to know Jesus, my Saviour much more because to know You is to love You, serve You, worship and praise You.

And to know You is life eternal through Jesus’ great sacrifice of love to save me.

Thank You for sending Jesus to pay the penalty for my sins.

I do not have the words adequate enough to express my gratitude to You for all that You have done to save and redeem me back to You, my Creator God.

The Creator of Heaven and earth and everything that exists.

O Lord, my faith, trust and hope is in You.

Please grant me a closer personal relationship with You, grant it Jesus, is my plea.

Thank You for Your goodness, tender mercies and compassions to me.

Lord Jesus, please forgive me of all my sins, and cleanse me with Your precious blood.

I give You thanks and praise for Your gift of salvation, Your great sacrifice of love for me, and Your gift of eternal life.

And for making me part of the family of God.

I love and adore You.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen

Hymn.

Come we that love the Lord.

And let our joys be known.

Join in a song with sweet accord.

Join in a song with sweet accord.

And thus surround the Throne.

And thus surround the Throne.

Chorus.

We are marching to Zion.

Beautiful, beautiful Zion.

We are marching upward to Zion.

The beautiful city of God.

Praise God from Whom all blessing flow.

Amen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

James 3:17-18

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gently willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hyprocrisy.

Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Devotion.

God’s wisdom leads to peace and harmony, while human wisdom leads to unrighteousness and dis-harmony.

Prayer (for you)

Eternal Father,

How great You are. You are Mighty to save and strong to deliver Your people from sin.

You alone are wise, and Your wisdom leads to peace, to goodness, harmony and peace.

O Lord, I need Your wisdom to be able to do what is godly, good, holy and pleasing in Your Sight.

Lead me in Your  way that leads to life eternal through Jesus Christ, my Saviour, my Redeemer, Advocate, Intercessor, Good Shepherd and my Friend.

How wonderful to know that Your wisdom and peace is pure, peaceable, gentle and full of tender mercies.

O Lord, I will always seek You with all my heart, my soul and my mind.

And glorify, honour, magnify and exalt You.

In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.

Hymn.

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!

O, what a fore-taste of glory divine.

Heir of salvation, purchase of God.

Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

Chorus.

This is my story, this is my song.

Praising my Saviour all the day long.

This is my story, this is my song.

Praising my Saviour all the day long.

2.

Perfect submission, all is at rest.

I in my Saviour am happy and blest.

Watching and waiting, looking above.

Filled with Hs goodness, lost in His love.

Praising my Saviour, all the day long.

Amen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Romans 10:13

Whoever calls on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.

Devotion.

When we confess our sins, we can be assured that we are completely forgiven.

Jesus paid the penalty for our sins, so when we confess, repent, we are no longer guilty in His Eyes.

We are absolute and totally forgiven.

Eternal Father,

Holy You are.

Blessing, and honour and glory and power be unto Him Who sits on the Throne and to the Lamb ( Jesus Christ) forever.

O Lord Jesus, I confess and repent of every sin and I ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing.

Lord, sometimes we do not even realize that we have sinned, because we sin in our thoughts, our words and our actions.

So that is the reason why we need to regularly confess and ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing.

O Lord, I will totally consecrate my life to You on a daily basis, and ask for Your guidance and direction in all my ways.

And call on the name of Jesus, so that I will be saved, be part of the family of God, and receive Your gift of eternal life.

How wonderful to know that I am forgiven, I am sanctified, and I am now totally devoted to You, Lord God, Lord Jesus.

Also how wonderful to know that I have victory over sin through Jesus Christ, my Saviour.

I thank You for Your loving kindness and tender mercies to me.

In Jesus precious name, I pray. Amen.

Hymn.

God, be merciful to me.

On Thy grace I rest my plea.

Plenteous in compassion Thou art.

Blot out my transgressions now.

Wash me, make me pure within.

Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin.

Wash me, make me pure within.

Yes, cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin.

Praise the Lord! Amen.

 

 

 

 

 

Nehemiah 8:10b

Do not sorrow (be sad) for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Devotion.

Jesus shed His precious blood for our salvation, our redemption and to give us eternal life.

Hebrews 12:2 says, ” looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher (developer) of our faith, Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right Hand of God.

So knowing that Jesus loved us so much that He shed His precious blood for our salvation.

Jesus endured the cross for us, He paid the penalty for our sins, this should give us great joy and happiness, and strengthen us daily.

Mark 11:25

Jesus said, ” When you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive them, that your Heavenly Father may also forgive your sins.

“But if you do not forgive, neither will Your Heavenly forgive you your sins.”

Devotion.

In the Lord’s prayer in Matthew 6:12, Jesus teaches us to pray.

” Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.”

Jesus shed His precious holy blood for our salvation, and He will forgive us of every sin, iniquity and transgressions.

We also have to forgive anyone who have done us wrong, as Jesus has forgiven us our sins.

So ask Jesus to help you to forgive others and He will indeed help you to be forgiving.

When we forgive others, this is pleasing to God.

Prayer (for you)

Heavenly Father,

You are Holy, Righteous, Merciful, Compassionate, Good, Gracious, Patient and of tender mercies to us.

I give You thanks and praise for Your Plan of Salvation to save to the uttermost everyone who comes to You seeking to be saved..

O Lord, I want to live a holy, godly life, and be pleasing to You in all my ways.

Looking to You, Lord Jesus, the One Who has shed Your precious blood for my forgiveness and redemption.

So Lord, I forgive anyone who has ever done me wrong, and I ask You to help me to move on, and let it go.

Help me to not let anything or anyone stand in my way of being part of the family of God, and receiving the gift of eternal life, through Your great sacrifice of love for me.

I love You, and I thank You for Your Infinite love and amazing grace.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Hymn.

” Forgive our sins as we forgive.”

You taught us Lord, to pray.

But You alone can grant us grace.

To live the words we say.

How can Your pardon reach and bless.

The unforgiving heart.

That broods on wrongs and will not let.

Old bitterness depart.

In blazing light Your cross reveals.

The truth we dimly knew.

How trifling other’s debts to us.

How great our debt to You.

4.

Lord, cleanse the depths within our souls.

And bid resentment cease.

Then, by Your mercy reconciled.

Our lives will spread Your peace.

Praise the Lord!
