Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Inspiration.

If our salvation was dependent on what we do, if we could be redeemed by doing good works (activities), then we could lose it if we stumble.

But our salvation is a gift from God – given freely to those who accept Jesus as their Saviour.

Salvation shows the Infinite great love, mercy, compassion, goodness, and amazing grace of God towards His creation.

Prayer (for you)

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your amazing grace that saves to the uttermost everyone who comes to You in faith.

Because having faith in You, the Creator God is pleasing to You.

And believing in God, believing that You exist and that You are a rewarder of those who diligently seek You, also pleases You.

Lord, thank You for Your Infinite love and saving grace for me.

Your grace that is greater than every sin, every iniquity and every transgression.

Lord, because I am saved by faith, I will live a holy, godly and consecrated life, completely dedicated to You.

And I will have the fruit of the Holy Spirit – love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, gentleness, kindness, self-control, and faithfulness to God.

And I will tell others of Your Plan of Salvation, Your amazing grace, and Your sacrifice of love for humanity’s salvation.

Lord God, Lord Jesus, I praise and thank You, glorify and exalt You.

In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Hymn.

Marvelous grace of our loving Lord.

Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt.

Yonder on Calvary’s mount out-poured.

There where the blood of the Lamb was split.

Chorus.

Grace, grace, God’s grace.

Grace that will pardon and cleanse within.

Grace, grace, God’s grace.

Grace that is greater than all our sins!

Marvelous Infinite grace, matchless grace.

Freely bestowed on all who believe!

You that are longing to see His Face.

Will you this moment His grace receive?

Grace, grace, God’s grace.

Grace that will pardon and cleanse within.

Grace, grace, God’s grace.

Grace that is greater than all our sins.

 

 

 

Matthew 9:35-36

Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the Kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

When He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered like sheep having no shepherd.

Inspiration.

Jesus was always doing good to the people, showing compassions to them by healing the sick, feeding the people, and also ministering and teaching them about God’s Plan of Salvation.

Jesus is the Good Shepherd Who takes care of the sheep, (of us), and leads us in paths of righteousness.

Jesus saves us from the wolf – the devil who wants to destroy us.

Prayer (for you)

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for another day when I can come boldly to Your Throne of grace, where I will find help in my time of need.

How wonderful to have the privilege of prayer when I can communicate with the Sovereign God of the Universe.

And God hears my prayer – my every word, and will do for me what is in my best interests.

O Lord, I am so thankful to You for Your compassions, tender mercies, and Your eternal, everlasting and abundant love for me.

Lord Jesus, I humbly ask that You forgive me of all my sins, and cleanse me with Your precious blood.

As Your Holy Words says, ” You will forgive all my sins, never to remember them no more.”

Lord Jesus, I thank You for also being my Good Shepherd, who leads, direct and guides me in the path that leads to life eternal.

And protects me from the devil’s deception and schemes.

Thank You Lord God, for giving me wisdom and discernment.

And helping me to understand that there is a “cosmic conflict” going on – between evil and good.

But Lord Jesus, You have already won the battle over sin and the devil.

And it is only a matter of time when You will return, and the conflict will be over forever.

I look forward to that wonderful day.

Please help me to be ready and stay ready, for You could come at any time.

Lord Jesus, thank You for Your loving watch and protection from day to day.

Praise the Lord!

In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Hymn.

Under His Wings I am safely abiding.

Though the night deepens and tempest are wild.

Still I can trust Him; I know He will keep me.

He has redeemed me, and I am His child.

2.

Under His Wings, what a refuge in sorrow!

How the heart yearningly turns to its rest!

Often when earth has no balm for my healing.

There I find comfort, and there I am blest.

3.

Under His Wings, O what precious enjoyment!

There will I hide till life’s trials are o’er.

Sheltered, protected, no evil can harm me.

Resting in Jesus I’m safe evermore.

Chorus.

Under His Wings, under His Wings.

Who from His love can sever?

Under His Wings my soul shall abide.

Safely abide forever.

Praise the Lord!

Jeremiah 17:7-8

Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.

For they shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes.

But its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, not will cease from yielding fruit.

Inspiration.

God loves us Infinitely and wants to bestow His blessings on us.

So let us be obedient to Him, worship Him and follow by faith His holy and godly way.

And even though trials will come because of sin, we will be victorious when we hold on to Jesus, and have faith, hope and trust in Him.

Because there is victory in Jesus, our Saviour forever.

Prayer (for you)

Heavenly Father,

Hallowed be Thy Holy Name.

Your Kingdom come.

Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

O Lord, we want love, peace, joy, hope, goodness, kindness, self-control, patience and godliness in this world.

So may Your Kingdom come and may Your will be done on earth.

Lord Jesus, thank You for Your sacrifice of love to save and redeem me.

How loving, kind and compassionate You are to me.

That You for Your precious shed blood on Calvary’s cross for my redemption.

There are no words adequate enough to tell You how thankful I am to You, for Your great sacrifice of love for me.

My desire is to be saved, to be part of the family of God, washed in the fountain and cleansed by Your precious blood.

Lord Jesus, please wash and cleansed me from sin and make me wholly Thine, fully consecrated to You.

I love and adore You, I worship, glorify, bless and magnify You.

In Your holy and precious name, I pray. Amen.

Hymn.

Tis almost time for the Lord to come, I hear the people say.

The stars of heaven are growing dim, It must be the breaking of the day.

The signs fore-told in the sun and moon, in earth and sea and sky.

A-loud proclaim in all mankind, the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

It must be time for the waiting church, to cast her pride away.

With girded loins and burning lamps, to look for the breaking of the day.

Go quickly out in the streets and lanes, and call the maimed, the halt and blind.

To be ready for the breaking of the day.

Chorus.

O it must be the breaking of the day! O its must be the breaking of the day!

The night is almost gone, the day is coming on; O it must be the breaking of the day!

Yes! Tis almost time for the Lord to come – it must be the breaking of the day!

 

 

 

Isaiah 26:3

You will keep those in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed (fixed ) on You.

Inspiration.

God wants to have a close personal relationship with His creation.

So let us fix our mind on Him, and seek Him earnestly and diligently.

Prayer (for you)

Heavenly Father,

How wonderful to know that I can have my own close personal  relationship with the Sovereign God of the Universe.

My desire is to know more about You, understand You, and acknowledge You in my life.

O Lord God, You alone are the only true and living God, and there is no other, but You.

May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Lord, I look forward to that wonderful day when ” Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

When Jesus returns to receive His redeemed, and there will be no more wars, disease, death, sorrow, crying, pain or suffering.

When sin and sinners, and the devil will be destroyed forever.

O Lord God, the entire Universe has seen the results of satans’s rebellion – the immense suffering of humanity because of sin.

Lord, I am so glad that You will destroy sin and wickedness and the devil forever, and it will never again raise its evil head.

O Lord Jesus, I look forward to seeing You, and living with You in Heavenly places.

And living in total joy, bliss and contentment and seeing all the Holy Angels – seeing my Guardian Angel, and seeing all the Universe and  the unfallen worlds in the Universe.

What a wonderful day that will be when my Saviour I shall see.

The One Who saved me by His grace, the One Who shed His precious blood for my salvation and redemption.

Lord Jesus, I love and adore You, I give You thanks, praise, I exalt and magnify You.

In precious name I pray. Amen.

Hymn.

Lift up the trumpet, and loud let it ring; Jesus is coming again!

Cheer up, you pilgrims, be joyful and sing; Jesus is coming again!

Echo it, hilltops, proclaim it ye plains; Jesus is coming again!

Coming in glory, the Lamb that was slain; Jesus is coming again!

Heavings of earth, tell the vast, wondering throng; Jesus is coming again!

Tempest and whirlwinds, the anthem prolong; Jesus is coming again!

Nations are angry – by this we do know, Jesus is coming again!

Knowledge increases; men (people) run to and fro; Jesus is coming again!

Chorus.

Coming again, coming again, Jesus is coming again!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Matthew 7:7

Jesus says,

” Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”

Inspiration.

God has a wonderful plan for our life. But we need to humble ourselves before the God of the Universe.

And seek Him with all our heart, soul and mind and He will show us what we should do in every situation.

When we pray – we are seeking the Lord with all our being, and God hears our every prayer an d He will answer with the very best, more than we can imagine or think about.

So let us seek the Lord earnestly and tell Him our cares, our concerns, and take our requests to Him.

Because God wants to bless us, not only with material things, but with His protective care and with His Infinite love and tender mercies and compassions.

So make your requests known to God, the Sovereign God, Almighty God.

Prayer (for you)

Heavenly Father,

Holy You are.

Thank You for another day to seek You, praise and glorify You, in spirit and in truth.

O Lord, I come asking for Your help in my situation.

I come asking and seeking You in prayer, because You hear my prayers and will answer with Your best for me.

I come knocking ( praying earnestly) because I know that You are just a prayer away.

And I ask You, seek You, knock (pray) morning, noon or night – at any time of the day, because You are always there to for me.

I thank You for Your many blessings to me, for Your loving kindness, tender mercies, Your loving protection from day to day, and also for the material blessings that You have given on me.

O Lord, You are such a good God, Who delights in blessing me, saving me, redeeming me, and giving to me Your gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ, my Saviour.

O Lord, I bring all my requests, my cares, my problems, my concerns to You, because I know that You will do for me what is best.

And You will lead, direct and guide me in the good and perfect way.

O Lord, I am asking, seeking, knocking (praying earnestly), and I will wait patiently for Your answer, because I know that You will answer my prayer.

And I thank You in advance for answering my prayer, and giving me Your peace.

In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Hymn.

At first I prayed for light; could I but see the way.

How gladly swiftly would I walk, to everlasting day!

And next I prayed for strength, that I might tread the road.

With firm, unfaltering feet, and win, the heaven’s serene abode.

And then I asked for faith; that I would trust my God.

I’d live in-folded in His peace, through foes were all a-broad.

But now I pray for love; deep love to God and man.

A living love that will not fail, however dark His plan.

And light and strength and faith are opening everywhere!

God waited patiently until I prayed the larger prayer.

 

 

 

Deuteronomy 6:5

” You shall love the Lord you God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.”

Prayer (for you)

My Heavenly Father,

I love You with all my heart, my soul, my mind and my strength.

O Lord God, You first loved me.

Thank You for loving me more that I can even think or imagine.

And You demonstrated Your Infinite love for me by sending Jesus, Your Only Beloved Son, and my Only Beloved Saviour to pay the penalty for my sins.

Such love I cannot fully comprehend, but I give You thanks and praise for what You have done to save and redeem me.

O Lord, You never fail me and You never change, You are the same yesterday, today and forever.

People at times fail us, in their actions and words, but praise be to God, our Sovereign God,  and Jesus Christ, Who never fails and never changes.

O Lord, You are always the loving, kind, gracious, compassionate, just, and full of tender mercies towards Your creation.

And I glorify, praise, love, adore, magnify and exalt You for what You have done and doing to make sure that I am saved.

O Lord God, humanity is in this conflict between good and evil, and I look forward to that wonderful day when sin and evil – the devil will be destroyed forever.

O Lord, You have done everything that is possible to make sure that I will be part of the family of God, and inherit eternal life through Jesus’ great sacrifice of love for me.

Lord, my desire is to be saved, to be part of the family of God, so I ask for Your continued help to live a godly life and be pleasing to You.

Praise be to God, and to You, Lord Jesus for Your amazing grace, Your Infinite love and Your everlasting gift of eternal life.
