Lovingkindnesses

I shall make mention of the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, the praises of the Lord Isaiah 63:7

Hasn’t the Lord been good to us! We can bring our praises to Jesus, He is worthy. As your life has been impacted by the Lord’s lovingkindness, you can’t help except to praise and thank Him for all He has done and who He is. There is a song of freedom in the Holy Spirit, that as you praise Jesus you are ushered in to the presence of God. Are you ready to step in to a great time in the Lord?

Praise you Jesus for your great lovingkindness.

Remembering Jesus

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. 1 Corinthians 11:26

When you take part in communion what a blessing. We are remembering Jesus Christ and what He did that we can all be saved. As we have communion, we are proclaiming Jesus death until He comes back. This is a powerful declaration of our belief in Jesus. Great purpose is there in remembering Jesus.

Jesus thanks for your sacrifice for each and every one.

Peace

For He himself is our peace. Ephesians 2:14

Jesus is the embodiment of peace. The person of Jesus who gave His life for us to make peace with God, is the same Christ who is alive today. What areas of your life has God caused peace to reign? Is there more of your life to invite Jesus’ peace in? We bring an atmosphere of peace of the presence of God with us wherever we go. God can cause you to flourish even in a dry place because of His anointing.

Lord, I thank you for your presence and that your peace is right there.

Hunger for Jesus

Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. Psalm 25:4-5

The desire you have for Jesus causes you to seek the Lord. There is much more to learn in Him. Like a river, the Lord has life for us, and can teach us and lead and save us. Waiting on the Lord is a good place to be. That hunger  you have for Jesus is precious to God.

Praise you Lord for being my salvation. Teach me your ways and guide me in your truth.

Living water

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:13,14

Do you remember being parched? Then when you have a nice, cool glass of water, you feel better. Jesus has water for us that we will never thirst again. Like a perpetual spring of water, that wells up to eternal life. Spending time with Jesus is really healthy for our souls. The Lord has what we need.

Praise you Jesus for being there. How much I need you Lord.

God’s promises

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. 2 Corinthians 1:20

All of God’s promises have a yes and amen. Praise Jesus. When you pray, God backs up every one of his promises. That’s a reason to pray the Scripture. As we pray, we are declaring God’s promises over the atmosphere and believing for Jesus’ blessing and prayer covering. If you think of all the promises God has made in the Bible, that’s pretty exhaustive. Praise Jesus that each one is yes and amen.

Lord Jesus, thanks for all the scriptures I can declare and believe.

Blessing the Lord

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises! Psalm 57:7

There will never be a time that God does not love you or care about you. When you know the love of God, wonderful praises happen! Delighting in the Lord is reveling in His love. Praise is exuberant. You can set your heart to God’s love. We have so much to thank him for. Blessing the Lord for all He has done and who He is.

Praise you Jesus, all I have to worship you Lord.

The presence of God

As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God. I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? Psalm 42:1,2

There is a place in our lives that can only be filled from the Holy Spirit. God’s presence is to be longed for as that is the place we belong. Of all the places you can put your expectations, the presence of God is the place of true fulfilment. Our love for God can be tempered as we pour our lives upon Jesus afresh.

Jesus, I long for your presence. When can I get that time before you.

Jesus’ strength

The strength of those who wait with hope in the LORD will be renewed. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and won't become weary. They will walk and won't grow tired. Isaiah 40:31

As we spend time in the presence of God, there is new strength. You can catch the wind of the spirit like an eagle soars through the sky. Life can leave us weary, yet in the presence of God, we can run and not get weary. What a wonder is Jesus, that in him, we can be strong.

Praise you Jesus, you are my strength.

Best friend

You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me. John 5:39

The Bible is filled with words of life that are  like sign posts that Jesus is alive. In Jesus we have eternal life. It is really awesome that we can have a real relationship with Jesus, just like you would a best friend. With every new day, there is opportunities to delight in the Lord. How can you draw near to Jesus today?

Praise you Jesus. Thanks for being the constant highlight of my life.

Living for Jesus

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.” 1 Chronicles 16:31

Living for Jesus is having a life full of purpose. All creation praises the Lord. The kingdom of God has come to earth. The Lord reigns! Praise God. Today how can you celebrate the Lord? We can praise Him for what He has done and who He is.

Thanks Jesus for being my Lord. Thankyou that you reign.

Atmosphere of thankfulness

Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done. Psalm 105:1

Thankfulness isn’t something that just happens, you can build an atmosphere of thankfulness. What God has done is more than can be expressed. Great and wonderful is our God. Have you ever felt that pumped about God that you just want to tell everyone. That’s how much God meant to the psalmist. If you thank God, that’s the entrance of Jesus’ presence. Praise God!

Thanks Jesus for who you are and what you have done. Help me be as pumped as never before to declare your praises.

The purpose of God

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

We are called in the purpose of God. Praise Jesus that in everything God causes things to work out well. As you go about your day, you can be mindful of the Holy Spirit that’s with you and is for you. What can you declare today of the Lord’s goodness?

Thanks Jesus that you cause all things to work together for good.

Made in Christ

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Ephesians 2:10

God made each one of us special and unique. He has prepared earlier good works, that we can walk in them. Reminds me of Easter time, getting up early to hide Easter eggs for everyone to find. Even more, imagine how much God loves us, that he goes ahead of us, making a path for good works.

Thanks Jesus, help me be sensitive to your leading and guidance each day.

Discretion

A man’s discretion makes him slow to anger, And it is his glory to overlook a transgression. Proverbs 19:11

Having discretion is to have good communication skills. When my children are arguing over something small, I try to instil in them the value they have in each other. Your siblings can be the best of friends for life. We all have our days, and yet if we can find that value in others, we can create positive frameworks of communication.

Thanks Jesus for your help as we go about building quality friendships in the everyday.

Set apart

Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Colossians 3:1

We are born again and set apart for Jesus. Praise God. Seeking the Lord has great purpose. Heaven knows when we pray. Today is a good day to put Jesus first. Jesus is the light of the world and as we seek Him we shine bright for God.

Thanks Jesus for this day to seek you.

Living the dream

Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed on you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery. 1 Timothy 4:14

When you are living the dream of following Jesus, you are in the centre of the will of God. There have been times where I have had to pickup my notebook from times before and be encouraged to press on in Jesus. Preaching notes and prophetic words kept, energise us to keep up the faith. What had caused you to be encouraged in your faith walk in Jesus?

Thanks Jesus, you always lead me to live for you and quicken the words you have spoken in times past.

Jesus’ compassion

Jesus wept. John 11:35

The shortest verse in the Bible and yet has so much meaning. I used to think why did Jesus weep because He knew He could raise him up from the dead. However Jesus was in the moment. He loved his friends and wept with them. He was compassionate about Lazarus and his friends.

Thanks Jesus for your great love. Help me love the way you love people, amen.

Impact

Let no one look down on youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe. 1 Timothy 4:12

I have youth aged children and I delight when they are having fun being kids. At the shops today, Daniel my son was having fun, just being young, and I think that’s good. There’s no hurry to grow up quickly. It’s a great time of life to be living for Jesus, and they are able to really have an impact.

Thanks Jesus for the ability to live passionate for you.
