Your Daily Word: 2019

He Loved Us First

Today, I have been reminded through God's WORD that we have never been and will never be the "initiator". Who we are, what we have achieved and where we have gone is never because we were all made up and deserving. In all things, it was HIM who took the first step. The only thing we did and can do is to respond with obedience and humility to abide in HIS will and to follow HIS direction. After all, it's the best thing we can do. God bless you.

My fear doesn't stand a chance when I stand in Your LOVE

Here's another song I listened to on my way to work and the message of the song simply resonated with me and most probably to everybody who may have fears of what is to come and what the future will be. But here's a clear message, our lives are in the hands of GOD and with HIS LOVE, we are in good hands.

Check out the song and lyrics below: Stand In Your Love by Bethel Music

Stand In Your Love

When darkness tries to roll over my bonesWhen sorrow comes to steal the joy I ownWhen brokenness and pain is all I knowI won’t be shaken, I won’t be shaken

My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love

Shame no longer has a place to hide
I am not a captive to the lies
I’m not afraid to leave my past behind
I won’t be shaken, I won’t be shaken

There’s power that can break off every chain
There’s power that can empty out a grave
There’s resurrection power that can save
There’s power in Your name
Power in Your name

Hallelujah To The Lamb | Classic Anointed Worship

Indeed, there are no words good enough to thank HIM. No words to express my PRAISE!

Hallelujah To The Lamb Verse 1 Lord I stand in the midst of a multitude Of those from every tribe and tongue We are Your people Redeemed by Your blood Purchased from death by Your love There are no words Good enough to thank You There are no words to express my praise But I will lift up my voice And sing from my heart With all of my strength Chorus Hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah to the Lamb Hallelujah hallelujah By the blood of Christ we stand Every tongue every tribe Every people every land Giving glory giving honor Giving praise unto the Lamb of God Verse 2 Lord we stand by grace in Your presence Cleansed by the blood of the Lamb We are Your children Called by Your name Humbly we bow and we pray Release Your power To work in us and through us 'Til we are changed to be more like You Then all the nations will see Your glory revealed And worship You Bridge Every knee shall bow Every tongue confess That You are Lord of all

Prayer for the Sick: Let the Power of GOD prevail!

Last week, I have received a news about a friend who has been diagnosed of breast cancer. Also last week, one of my batch mates from college was rushed to the hospital due to a possible mild stroke. The other day, my Uncle succumbed to the kidney sickness/complications.
These are real. Sickness, Death are real. It's not because we're Christians were immune. Sometimes it's how we take care of our bodies and even "genetically" we can acquire these sicknesses.
I'm writing this not because I have it all sorted out. In fact I'm the first one who should go through that Annual Physical Check up. I feel like I'm taking in more sugar, more carb than I should. So enough of me. Let me go back to my point.
This deadly sicknesses are real and they can happen to your friend, to your family, or to you.
Isn't it amazing to know that even though they're real, our GOD is far better REAL-errrr. (If there's even a word). All these sicknesses were brought about the fall of man and the devil taking over and corrupting our bodies. Thanks be to GOD because through Jesus Christ, we have the power that's far greater than he that is in the world!

Isaiah 53:5"...by HIS wounds, we are healed."

James 5:14-15
"Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven."

So I encourage you to be Prayer Warriors today. Let's defeat the power of "sickness" with the power of GOD through our prayers. Let every sickness be an opportunity for HIS glory to be shown.

Tired? Weary? God has an offer for you

And it's already WEDNESDAY! Woohoo! We're halfway through the week! Who's looking forward to FRIDAY? I AM. 😁😁

I know the feeling. I know the feeling even how much you try to get energised and excited, work and stress have their way of getting into you.

This is why, fellowship with the LORD should not be limited to Sunday Services. What you received on a Sunday can't last until next Sunday. You need nourishment everyday - and that is why this blog is rightly named Your Daily Word.

Today let me encourage with the word found in Isaiah 40:29:

"He gives strength to those who grow tired and increases the strength of those who are weak."

Mind you this offer is on a daily basis and it's unlimited. It's not like a energy booster that fires you up for 15 minutes and drains you afterwards. This offer is a continuous, always available kind of offer.

The only thing that's needed is for you to approach HIS throne and fellowship with HIM. So go ahead, before you do anything, approach HIM. He's waiting.

YOU ARE QUALIFIED - HE QUALIFIES YOU

Have you ever felt little?

Have you ever felt unqualified?

Have you ever felt you weren't good enough for the task at hand?

This past week has been an example of me feeling and questioning, "Am I really the right person to do this?" Looking at the assignment simply overwhelms me.

But then do you believe God has HIS timely word for us at the time we needed it.

I praise God because when I prayed and asked for help, I opened the Bible for an answer and behold, HE did through this verse:

Ephesians 2:7 "Now God has us where he wants us..."

So I'm not lost. I am EXACTLY where GOD wanted me to be. WOW! Praise the Lord!

However, I'm not sure if you're like me but somewhere in my heart, I still felt "inadequate" even after hearing the promise. I know it's wrong but this is me being honest.

Praise be to GOD who also knows I would feel this way. He followed it up with another promise in this verse:

2 Cor 3:6 "He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant..."

Now, did you notice that word? COMPETENT. In other versions, it would say "QUALIFIES" us. Thank you LORD!

This surely encouraged me this morning and I thank GOD for that. Let this be an encouragement to you too whatever you're going through. This WORD is applicable to each of you.

He is a Prayer-Listening God

Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
-Jeremiah 29:12-

Today, I am encouraged to know that when we call on HIM and declare our petitions to HIM; whatever it is, wherever and whenever, GOD SAYS "He Listens".

In this time and age where everybody seeks attention ad everybody seeks affirmation, we have our GOD who's always there to give you HIS 100% attention and focus. He's not busy, He's not checking on his laptop while taking to you or even checking on his social media notifications. He's fully focused on you - no distractions, no other conversations. Yes when you call on HIM, YOU are HIS priority. No need to wait in line. No need for a promo code. He's there now. Waiting for you. Ready to Listen. Ready to Answer.

Let HIS word be an encouragement to you today.

Prayer of a Righteous Man Avails Much

God Has His Own Seasons

How many of us feel that sometimes prayers take a long time to be answered and the promised future is far from sight? It's not a surprise that a lot of us choose to give up and/or start doing things on our own.
Let me remind you that every dream comes from the dream giver. And when we bring it up to HIM, he treasures it and sanctifies it. He doesn't show us how and when He will make it happen but HE will. Don't take me wrong, I'm not saying everything you tell GOD will happen. That mindset is the exact opposite of His Lordship. What I am referring to are those desires that are aligned to HIS will, plan and those that will not lead you away from HIM.

According to the Bible in Ecclesiastes 3:1:

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."

God has his own timetable. Nothing is rushed and nothing is too late.

We must recognize our season and what He's trying to teach us and to be kept assured that He will eventually display HIS wonder before our very eyes.

IS it easy? My point of view - no. Everyone wants things fast. But that's what must set us apart. We are not in a hurry. We should be on time by faith and not by sight.

SO no matter what you're going through, take heart. GOD Knows His Seasons and He has a season for you.

When is the right time? | God is always on TIME!

HE IS ALWAYS ON TIME. TRUST HIS TIMING.
