Jesus Christ Gives Us The Holy Spirit!

Image
  Jesus Christ Gives Us the Holy Spirit Jesus promised to give His followers the Holy Spirit , who would live within them, guide them, strengthen them, and help them live according to God’s will. John 14:16–17: “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth.” John 14:26: “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit… will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” Acts 2:38: “Repent and be baptized… in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, thank You for the promise of the Holy Spirit. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit today. Guide my decisions, strengthen my faith, teach me Your Word, and help me walk in holiness and truth. Let the presence of the Holy Spirit be evident in my life, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen. 🙏 Declaration: I am not alone. The Holy Spirit is with me, guides me, s...

Set Your Mind on the Imperishable!

Image
  Set Your Mind on the Imperishable Scripture: Colossians 3:1–4, NKJV “ If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. ” (Colossians 3:1–4, NKJV) We should take the words of Jesus to heart when he tells us to build up treasures for ourselves in heaven. Treasure in this world ultimately perishes. In addition, thieves and rust can make what we treasure here disappear. The Psalmist reflects on the fact he has nothing else in heaven other than the Lord. Any stuff or treasure we have in this world will be left behind unless we have “converted it” into the imperishable by investing it in the kingdom. We can tell where our treasure is by what we are giving our heart to. Jesus says, “ For where your treasure is, there y...

The Word Was God!

  The Word Was God  Scripture: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” — John 1:1 🌿 Devotional Thought The Word is not merely a collection of written letters or human wisdom. The Word was God. John reveals that Jesus Christ is the eternal Word who was with God from the beginning and who came into the world to reveal God to humanity. When we receive the Word of God, we are receiving truth, life, direction, correction, and hope. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). The Word leads us to Him. Whatever situation you are facing today, do not allow fear to have the final word. Let God’s Word have the final word. His promises are greater than your circumstances. 🙏 Prayer Heavenly Father, thank You for Your eternal Word. Help me to know Jesus more deeply and to trust Your Word completely. Let Your Word guide my decisions, strengthen my faith, remove fear from my heart, and give me wisdom for every situat...

How to Overcome the Power of Me. Myself and I!

Image
  How to Overcome the Power of ‘Me, Myself, and I’ Scripture: Psalm 92:4, NKJV “ For You, Lord, have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands. ” (Psalm 92:4, NKJV) The work of God enables us to live the Christian life. We must soak our heart in that revelation! God has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints. He is the one who has delivered us from the evil one and the kingdom of darkness. Finally, he has transferred us into the kingdom of his Son where we now are governed by the law of faith (the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus), which has delivered us from the law of sin and death. All of the above are the work of God… a gift of God to us. When we finally understand and apply these truths, they make us very glad! The impact on our everyday living is transformative when we understand and avail ourselves of  Sonpower  – the power of the Holy Spirit. We now live by the Spirit, walking under his control. When we live...

He Desires You!

  He Desires You “I am my beloved’s, And his desire is for me.” — Song of Solomon 7:10 Reflection The Song of Songs presents a beautiful picture of love between a bridegroom and his bride, a woman known as the Shulamite. Their relationship also gives us a spiritual picture of our relationship with Messiah Jesus. In Song of Songs 7:9, the Bridegroom compares his beloved to the best wine. We can apply this in a very practical way. When we are struggling to obey God in something He has asked us to do, we can confess by faith, “Your wine goes down smoothly. I will obey You.” 1 John 5:3 says God’s commandments are not burdensome. We must come to a place in life where we are not choking on His will. When we are strengthened and perfected in love, we say yes to Father God, yes to His will, and confess, “Your will is smooth and pleasant, not burdensome.” For instance, if the Lord nudges you to witness to somebody in public, rather than hem and haw and struggle and resist, say, “Father, I w...

The Awesomeness of God’s Works!

Image
  The Awesomeness of God’s Works Scripture: Psalm 92:5, NKJV “ O Lord, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep. ” (Psalm 92:5, NKJV) Throughout Scripture, the works of God are declared AWESOME.  Sonpower  enables us to experience the great working of God in our everyday living. The finger of God touches every activity in the life of the believer who is submissive to his will. The Hebrew people experienced this for themselves. “ For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because You favored them. ” (Psalm 44:3, NKJV) “ He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel. ” (Psalm 103:7, NKJV) Who knows what God may be willing to do through the righteous person who lives in conformance with his will? When God shines with favor on a person’s life, he can do more than we can ask, think or imagine. Success in living is in...

The Cross - The Power of God!

Image
  The Cross — The Power of God “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” — 1 Corinthians 1:18 The Cross represents: The power of God — 1 Corinthians 1:18 Victory over sin — Colossians 2:14–15 Reconciliation with God — Ephesians 2:16 Healing and redemption — 1 Peter 2:24 New life through Christ — 2 Corinthians 5:17 Prayer: Father, by the power of the Cross of Jesus Christ, let every chain of sin, fear, bondage, and oppression be broken in my life. Let the victory of Christ on the Cross speak for me, my family, and everything concerning me. May the power of the Cross bring salvation, restoration, healing, and deliverance. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
