Showers of Blessing

"I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing. And I will cause showers to come down in their season; they will be showers of blessing."Ezek.34:26

When we abide in God and when our thoughts are fully encompassed about Him and His ways, He will bless us in due season from His rich treasury, pouring out His Spirit from heaven, refreshing us and making us a blessing to others.

Be Confident In His Power And Victory

"..LORD, it is nothing with you to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on you, and in your name we go against this multitude. O LORD, you are our God; let not man prevail against you."
2 Chronicles 14:11

Let us completely lean on God for help with all expectation, expressing faith in His name. It is nothing to the Lord to help us in any critical situation because His power is supreme and eternal. Let us be encouraged and strengthened in Him, for we know or serve none other than Him. Let us then be assured of His victory, for any one to prevail against us is to prevail against Him.

Proprotionate Spiritual And Material Wealth

"Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers."
3 John 2

Our physical fitness and material riches should be in proportion to the wealth and well-being of our soul. When our spiritual and material wealth are symmetrical, we will use our health and wealth systematically for His purpose to be fulfilled in our lives. When our earthly abundance is more than correlative to our spiritual prosperity, it might become a bane to us owing to misuse. So let us pray that our material riches grows day by day as we branch out spiritually.

His Mercy Is Not Our Choice

"..it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it nor work for it."
Romans 9:16

It is the sovereign will and pleasure of the Lord Almighty to bestow His grace and mercy to whomever He chooses and whenever He wants. He is unaccountable to anyone in this regard. Our desire and effort can never work out our salvation.He is gracious on us not because we deserve it but because He chose to be gracious on us. He has all authority to either pardon us or convict us. Let us not boast of our favor from God but humble ourselves at His feet with fear and wait for His grace.

Managing Partners of The Most High

"The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to mankind."
Psalm 115:16

God, the Creator and Proprietor of the heaven and the earth, loved us so much such that He made us managing partners of His property, the earth. He expects us to take pleasure in the post given and produce yields, using all our talents for our Master. He wants us to enjoy the result of our labor and lack nothing.

Get The Attention Of Your Boss

"..the king granted him all that he asked, for the hand of the LORD his God was on him."
Ezra 7:6

For God's hand of favor to be upon us, we must be willing to take a low place under His mighty hand (1Pet.5:6) and wait for His best time to bless us with his best. Then, we will get favor in the eyes of men and even the mind of a king will be inclined towards our benefit.

Release His Power

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me."
Matthew 28:18

Whenever we truly worship Him(v.17), Jesus still draws near to manifest Himself to us. He has all power in heaven and in earth to bring everything under His control, to save, liberate, bless and judge, and there is no such place where His authority does not apply. When we have a strong faith in His power and seek it with all passion, we sure can release His power in our lives.

Represent God And Be His Spokesperson

.."If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me; if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman. Let this people turn to you, but you must not turn to them."
Jeremiah 15:19

We need to apologise for our doubts and questions on the ways that God leads us (12:1), set apart from human zeal, revealing us different from others, stick on to His truths, and not soft-soap people and get adapted to their ways but be strong in the Lord to draw them to His ways and thus represent Him and be His spokesman.

Hold Me Dear, O Lord

"O LORD God, do not turn away the face of Your anointed; remember Your lovingkindness to Your servant.."
2 Chronicles 6:42

Lord, do not let me bury my face in shame by rejecting my prayers. If not for me, please do me favor atleast for Your name's sake, for I am Your anointed one. Remember Your promises of abiding grace and sure mercies to me, Your servant. Father God, esteem me as owing allegiance with Your Anointed Son, Jesus Christ and hold me dear to bless me in everything. Amen!

Our Pleader And Lifesaver

"Plead my cause and redeem me; give me life according to your promise!"
Psalm 119:154

We are privileged to be influenced by the all-powerful God, who stands in lieu of us to withstand any hostility, combat any warfare, atone for our misdoings, be our advocate and spokesperson, remove all blames and shames on us, thus liberating and giving us the fullness of life.

Tuesday 20 August 2013

Appropriate Language

"Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving."
Ephesians 5:4

God never wants us to get involved in offensive, immodest or senseless chatting, and also forbids us from mocking or ragging others because it is not fit for us, who have been purchased by His precious blood and have been made His and hence we are to imitate Him in all our conversations. Our language should be refined, gentle and courteous. Thanking Him for everything will be the appropriate language for us.

Unfold His Puzzles

"It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out."
Proverbs 25:2

There are a lot of unrevealed secrets of God about His purpose and will for us, concealed in the Bible and in His creations all around. He wants us to earnestly search for it, so that when we find it out, we will treasure it. Secondly, we notice all that God does in our lives, but we do not understand the reason behind it. We need to closely examine the status under the guidance of the Holy Spirit so that we can rejoice in the Lord when we discover the underlying cause.

Freed To Walk With God

"I shall walk in a wide place, for I have sought your precepts."
Psalm 119:45

When we have the Word of God as our mentor, dig for it with all love, long to know more of it and gladly give in to obey everything it says, we can never be enslaved but we can overcome and conquer anything that tries to imprison us. All signs of bondages will be broken and we will be free to walk in all His commandments with no restrictions or hindrances and therefore will be able to faithfully walk with God as Enoch did.

Blessed To The Max

"Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his place."
1 Chronicles 16:27

There can be no profound and true glory, grandeur, power and fulness of joy except in the presence of our Savior. We will be utterly peaceful and delighted, thoroughly quenched and blessed to the nth degree in His presence. Acknowledging and retaining His existence with us will totally change our lives.

Monday 12 August 2013

His Abode

"I will make my dwelling among you, and my soul shall not abhor you."
Leviticus 26:11

The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. Now the Word of God abides in us, givnig us a sure feel of His presence and stay with us as if we are His abode. We have to adhere closely and keep His Word, to let Him continue to abide with us. We have to love and obey His Word so that it does not deny us.

Sunday 11 August 2013

Figure Out His Will

"..do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is."
Ephesians 5:17

We are called fools when we are ignorant of the will of God in our lives. Let us not be thoughtless about handling our preferences and opportunities but be wise enough to mull over the will of God for us in every step of our lives - in all our walk and talk. Especially God wants us to be diligent about our time.

Saturday 10 August 2013

Explode With Joy And Gratitude

.."My soul exalts the Lord.. my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior."
Luke 1:46,47

Let all that is within us, be excited by the Spirit of God, and explode with great joy and gratitude, to acknowledge and celebrate God's greatness, praising and speaking of all His goodness. Let us rejoice in our Savior and may our soul be filled with divine influence to always magnify His name because it is the least gratitude that we can give the Most High Eternal God.

Friday 9 August 2013

Idiotic And Pointless To Worry

"If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters?"
Luke 12:26

It is idiotic and pointless to worry about our needs, because our worrying cannot bring forth a least thing, not even a single meal or a drink. It rather inhibits God from providing for us because we expose our lack of faith in God by being anxious.

Wednesday 7 August 2013

We Alone Are Truly Blessed

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ."
Ephesians 1:3

God bestows every possible precious blessing, all that are heavenly in nature, not accessible else where, on those who are the citizens of heaven. Let us praise and thank Him for conferring exceedingly great and precious benefits on us, making us truly blessed.

Do What You Look Forward To

"Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets."
Matthew 7:12

Though people don't love us or don't seem worthy to receive ours, we should never do to them what we can't take for ourselves, and never hesitate to do to them whatever we expect them to do for us. Let us always put them in our place and keep us in their place before we deal something with them. This is the summary of all rules and commandments given to us by our Father God.

Monday 5 August 2013

Fear God To Fear Nothing Else

"..you shall fear the LORD your God, and He will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.”
2 Kings 17:39

We are commanded not to fear anything else but the Lord our God. The fear for Him should seize our hearts and dominate our temperament. He will then be our lot, protecting us from all our foes, giving us victory in every single circumstance.

Thrive With No Frays Or Fusses

"In his days may the righteous flourish, and peace abound, till the moon be no more!"
Psalm 72:7

When we are totally under God's reign and practise righteousness, the rain of God's grace will be showered on us to make us thrive and proliferate, and we will enjoy perfect peace and be filled with it till the end, and there will be no more no frays or fusses.

Friday 2 August 2013

Free-handed And Big-hearted To Bestow

"..the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him."
Romans 10:12

Our Father God never shows favoritism because He is a Father unto all mankind. He made all of us, governs us and is always rich in mercy and providence to bestow on all of us who call on Him. He is free-handed and big-hearted to give away His amplitude. But the requirement is that we have to ask in order to receive (Ezekiel 36:37).

Thursday 1 August 2013

Flourish Without Friction

"He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarreled over it. He named it Rehoboth, saying, "Now the LORD has given us room and we will flourish in the land."

Genesis 26:22

When we are quiet during strife, God will graciously show Himself to us in His time to grant us freedom, peace, victory and affluence. Let us always pursue peace, and no doubt that sooner or later we will be rewarded with abounding peace so that we can flourish without any friction.
