Fullness Of Everlasting joy

"You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence."
Acts 2:28

Jesus Christ is the resurrection and the life (Jn.11:25,26). We have been made known to draw the fullness of life from Him (Jn.10:10). It is chief desire of Jesus to fill us with everlasting joy (Psa.16:11) and glory by delighting in His presence (Jn.17:24).

Become Partners With Christ

"We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end."
Hebrews 3:14

We become partakers of Christ and all His favor, if our hope in Him is not shaken at any point of trial in life. Our doubts and unbelief prevent us from attaining the rest (answer for prayer) that Jesus has for us (vs.18,19). To attain a glorious result depends on the steadfast continuation of our faith in Him.

Wait For God To Flood You With His Light

"..I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me." Micah 7:7

We, the children of God are reckoned to wait patiently for the Lord, amidst all the odds of our life, until He brings us forth to light, makes us behold His righteousness and makes our enemy see that we are blessed and makes them feel ashamed (vs.8-10).

Not Only The Fruit Of Our Labour

"he gave them the lands of the nations, and they fell heir to what others had toiled for-that they might keep his precepts and observe his laws. Praise the LORD."
Psalm 105:44, 45

The Proprietor of the heaven and earth wants His children to enjoy His possessions without any labour of theirs, so that He will be the receptor of all our glory and honor, and that we will be so much obliged of His grace and kindness and do our best to observe His precepts and laws.

Judicial Legislative And Administrative Departments At Hand

"For the LORD is our judge, our lawgiver, and our king. He will care for us and save us."
Isaiah 33:22

What a great privilege to have our God as our King who governs and supplies our everything, as our Lawgiver who enacts law and at the same time gives us His Spirit to enable us to keep them, and as our Judge who investigates our cause with His grace and righteousness, who sorts out with honesty and nobility! Greatest of all is that He is always there to care for us!

No End To His Grace

"For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace."
John 1:16

The fullness of God is so brimming that it can fill our everything in every way(Eph.1:23), sufficient to fill all our shortcomings (2 Cor.12:9) and is available to us at any point of time. Any great mountain of resistance will just become a plain when we pronounce His grace for us(Zec.4:7). Jesus is so full of everything that there can be no end to His grace for us.

Make Your Unseen Hope Real

"But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."
Romans 8:25

A strong desire and a constant hope for an unseen from God, will make us wait patiently for it, because we know that faithful is He who has promised, for He can never prove Himself false (2 Tim.2:13). Whatsoever we see is just temporary and failing, but whatever we hope for is real and will bring eternal glory (2 Cor.4:17,18).

Be Well-known

"..if anyone loves God, he is known by God."
1 Corinthians 8:3

If we really love God, we can be sure that He knows our every move and thought(Psa.139:1,2), our works, suffering and need, our loyalty, service and patience, and all oppositions we face (Rev.2:9,13,19), and once He searches and knows us thoroughly, He opens doors of His favor that none can shut and lifts our heads before our foes (Rev.3:8,9).

Amazing, Noticeable Work Of God

"Let them see that this is your doing, that you yourself have done it, LORD."
Psalm 109:27

The manifestation of God's work in our lives will be very much noticeable that people will see His power operating in and through us (Acts 4:16). His great deeds for us will fill us with laughter and songs of joy, amazing us and those around (126:2).

Walk Gloriously Through Mysterious Paths

"Your way was through the sea, your path through the great waters; yet your footprints were unseen."
Psalm 77:19

The ways of God are mysterious and concealed that human mind cannot comprehend. Let us just hold on to Him and be ready to walk along with Him, for He will even make the sea a highway for us to march on gloriously without even getting our feet wet (Nehemiah 9:11) i.e. there will not be a clue left to show that we came through hard times.

No Trap Nor Malady Can Take Us Into Custody

"Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence."
Psalm 91:3

No purpose of the wicked against us will succeed nor any dangerous malady will overtake us, because we are under the shadow of the Most High (v.1). The wicked will fall in their own trap but God will save us from all cunning devices (141:8-10).

Leads And Fills

"I walk in righteousness, in paths of justice.Those who love me inherit wealth. I will fill their treasuries."
Proverbs 8:20, 21

The Word and the Spirit of God leads us in His ways of righteousness, truth, holiness and justice so that we can present us acceptable to the Father, who will fill us with all His goodness and make us inherit His riches.

Transfer Of Wisdom, Joy And Wealth

"For God gives to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he gives the work of gathering and heaping up, only that he may give to him that is good before God.."
Ecclesiastes 2:26

When our every single step is ordered by the Lord our God (Psa.37:23), He gives us pure, peacable wisdom and understanding(Jam.3:17), the real joy that can ease and overcome all pain, and His divine providence, where He transfers the wealth of the ungodly to the godly.

Sing And Rejoice To Have God With You

"Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you, says the LORD."
Zechariah 2:10

For our desertion and desolation to get over (Isa.62:4) and to have God as a mighty warrior with us, to let Him take delight in us and to let Him rejoice over us (Zep.3:17), we have to rejoice in Him and exult with all our heart (Zep.3:14,15).

Total Restoration-Not A Glimpse Of Darkness

"The light of the full moon will be like the sun's glare and the sun's glare will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, when the LORD binds up his people's fractured bones and heals their severe wound."
Isaiah 30:26

God will soon restore and thoroughly heal us of all our afflictions and grievances, when we will reflect His absolute glory, and His glory will be seven times brighter. This blessing, comfort, joy and restoration will surpass all that we have ever been endowed with.

Live Stress-free

"Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it."
Hebrews 4:1

Jesus has a special rest for us (v.9) that He gained for us at the Cross. He, who had no place to rest while on earth, rested His head at the Cross so that we, while on earth, may enjoy His divine rest in our soul amidst all our works. Paul exhorts us to strive to attain that rest in Christ Jesus. We do not need to live stressful lives.

We Are God's Most Treasured Possession

"For the LORD'S portion is His people; Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance."
Deuteronomy 32:9

As we consider it a boon to have God for our allocation rather than having an earthly share, so is the Almighty Father pleased to have us as His portion. He chose us by His grace and set us aside for Him as a treasured possession in order to set us on high above all others (26:18,19).

Allow The Holy Spirit To Intercede

"..he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God."
Romans 8:27

None but God can search into the hearts of men. The Holy Spirit dwells within us and bears witness with our spirit that we are God's children (v.16). When we know not what to pray for, He inspires desires in our heart according to the mind and will of God and makes it known unto the Father. We can then be confident of the success of such prayer of intercession by the Holy Spirit.

Win God And Be Blessed

"..you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome."
Genesis 32:28

Let us pray with a strong determination (v.26), admit our weaknesses before God (v.11; 2 Cor.12:10) and firmly insist Him to bless us (v.24), and thus win God so that we will have no reason to fear men. We will thus be blessed (v.29) and be redeemed from all evil (48:16).

Don't Extinguish The Fire

"Do not quench the Spirit."
1 Thessalonians 5:19

We ought to be careful not to extinguish the fire of the Holy Spirit. To keep the fire of the Spirit burning within us, we need to meditate the Scripture (Luke 4:32; Psalm 39:3), proclaim of Jesus Christ whenever and wherever we can(Jeremiah 20:9)and carry the goodnews to the lost (2 Kings 7:9).

Tool In The Hands Of God

"You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, And the storm will scatter them; But you will rejoice in the LORD, You will glory in the Holy One of Israel."
Isaiah 41:16

When we are in God's hands, no foe nor obstacle can stand in our way, however big or strong they may be. Let us ascribe all glory to God and rejoice in Him for His intervention in all our cause. We can just like that keep moving forward because we are a tool in the hands of God.

Cause Hid But Effect Seen

"The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
John 3:8

As we do not see the wind, but see it's effect, so does the Spirit of God operate in us, that men around can see the transformation in us - the way we surprisingly become pure, holy, gentle and the way we are miraculously blessed by God. Let us just believe in Him, be led by Him and see His glory in and through us(11:40) and be seen by others, thus drawing them to Christ.

Ever The Same Powerful God

"Is the LORD'S hand shortened? you shall see now whether my word shall come to pass unto you or not."
Numbers 11:23

The power of God is always the same. He who formed all things out of nothing is still the same powerful God to work stupendous miracles for us (Isa.50:2; Mic.2:7). Let us hold tight to His promises because His word will no doubt come to pass at any cost (Mat.24:35).

Be Illuminated

"The entrance of your words gives light; it gives understanding unto the simple."
Psalm 119:130

When we pay due attention to the Word of God, not only giving it an access but also receiving it gladly into our heart, it floods our mind with divine illumination, vacating all the dark portions of our life. His Word reveals God and everything else. If we receive it's manifestation with all humility, it not only imparts knowledge but also understanding, and it directs and strengthens our soul.

Illuminated Hearts

"For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
2 Corinthians 4:6

Let God who just spoke light into darkness, illuminate our hearts today through His Word, help us see our future in the glory of His light and also reflect His light so that others see Him through us (Ephesians 5:8).
