Divine Nature

Verse:    Luke 1:38 Mary responded, ‘I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.’ And then the angel left her. - Are you ready to submit and surrender your life for His will and purpose? - Mary was chosen to bring great blessing and favour on all mankind. - The Lord also wants to use your life to reflect His glory and bring blessing. - Perhaps you do not fully understand His plan - do not let that stop you! PRAYER: Lord, like Mary, I want to humble myself and ask that Your will be done, in and through my life. I declare that: ‘I am the Lord’s servant. May everything You have prepared for me, come true!’ Amen. You have made it – It is December! Kind Regards

Verse:    Mark 16:20 'The Lord worked with them.’ - The secret to success, is in knowing that God is working with you. - As you do your part, and trust and obey Him, He will do His part. - This partnership is part of the blessing we can know, as His children. - Let us believe that He is with us, and working all things out for our good. PRAYER:  Lord, what a joy it is to know that You work with Your children, to bring about Your purposes and plans. Help me to do my part, with the full confidence that You will do Your part, and that I will see the wonderful results. Amen. Have a great week.

Verse:    Psalm 7:17 'Oh, how grateful and thankful I am to the Lord because He is so good.’ - Thankfulness is something that begins in our hearts. - It is an attitude that says, ‘God has been good, and I am so grateful.’ - If we think that we are self-made, we only fool ourselves.  - For God is the One Who makes all things possible. PRAYER:  Lord, I recognise today how much I need You in my life. I choose to live in dependence on You, and because of this, I am thankful. Thankful, because You are good, and because You give me a hope and a future. Amen. Have a great weekend.

Verse:    1 Chronicles 16:34 'Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His faithful love endures forever..’ - Sometimes we just need to pause, and give thanks for all the Lord has done. - At the end of a challenging year, we can find something to be thankful for. - There is always something to be thankful for. - Speak out your thankfulness, and celebrate His faithfulness. PRAYER:  Lord, I just want to take a moment, and lift my eyes off of the issues that I have been facing, to thank You for Your love and mercy towards me. You are a good, good Father and I am thankful, in anticipation, for all You are still going to do for me. Amen. Have an awesome Thursday.

  Many people say that the first thing they want to do when they arrive in heaven is see all their friends and loved ones who have passed on before them. In eternity, there will be plenty of time to see, know, and spend time with our friends and family members. However, that will not be our primary focus in heaven. We will be far more occupied with worshiping God and enjoying the wonders of heaven. Our reunions with loved ones are more likely to be filled with recounting the grace and glory of God in our lives, His wondrous love, and His mighty works. We will rejoice all the more because we can praise and worship the Lord in the company of other believers, especially those we loved on earth. What does the Bible say about whether we will be able to recognize people in the afterlife? King Saul recognized Samuel when the witch of Endor summoned Samuel from the realm of the dead ( 1 Samuel 28:8-17 ). When David’s infant son died, David declared, “I will go to him, but he will not return to

Verse:    Mark 14:6 But HE (the Lord) said, ‘Leave her alone.’ - The Lord will not allow you to endure more than He knows you can handle. - At some point He will declare; ‘That is enough!’ and step in. - The Lord knows how much you are carrying and enduring. - At just the right moment, He will say; ‘No more!’ and turn things around. PRAYER:  Lord, You know all things. You know what I am going through and experiencing. Thank You that You are alert and watching, and You will not allow me to be overwhelmed, but You will step in and rescue me. Amen. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

 Satan was originally one of God’s holy angels, but he rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven (Luke 10:18). That was only the first stage of his judgment. Satan’s kingdom was vanquished at the cross (John 12:31–32). Later, he will be bound in the abyss for one thousand years (Revelation 20:1–3) and then will be cast into the lake of fire for eternity (Revelation 20:10). Until his final judgment, Satan is "the prince of this world" (John 14:30), but it seems that he still has restricted access to the heavenly realms. In Job 1:6, Satan stands in the presence of God. There is a similar situation in 2 Chronicles 18:18–21 involving a "lying spirit." Since God is holy and absolutely without sin (Isaiah 6:3), and since He will not even look on evil (Habakkuk 1:13), how can Satan be in heaven? The answer involves God’s sovereign restraint of sin. In Job 1, Satan stood before God to give an account of himself. God initiated the meeting, led the proceedings, and rema

Verse:    Mark 9:27 'But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.’ - This is exactly what the Lord wants to do for you. - He wants to come, take your hand, lift you up, and help you stand. - Life may have knocked you down, and left you in the dust. - But He is here, to lift you out of the miry clay and on to solid ground. PRAYER:  Lord, here I am, reaching out my hand to Yours. Take hold of my hand, lift me up and help me stand. For, apart from You, I can do nothing. Amen. Have a blessed Tuesday.

  If you have lost a loved one to death, you know that it is a painful experience. Jesus understood the pain of losing someone close to His heart. In the book of John (11:1-44), we learn that Jesus lost a loved one named Lazarus. Jesus was deeply moved and wept at the loss of His friend. This story, however, doesn’t end in tears. Jesus knew He possessed the power needed to raise Lazarus from the dead. Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die" ( John 11:25 ). Jesus overcame death through His resurrection. It is comforting to know that death is not the end for those who believe. Those who know Jesus as Savior will have eternal life ( John 10:28 ). God has prepared a new home for us where there will be no more death, tears, or pain ( Revelation 21:1-4 ). Even if we are assured that our loved one is in a better place, we still experience the pain of their absence on ea

Verse:    Mark 6:30b '…and they told HIM all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught..’ - One of the joys in life, is to be able to talk things over with the Lord. - The disciples would meet with the Lord and talk about things that had happened. - You can also take time to meet with the Lord, and share your experiences. - You will find that He is not too busy, to hear your heart’s cry. PRAYER:  Lord, thank You that You are always there for me. You are always ready to listen and to hear me when I call on You. May I know the secret of Your presence in my life. Amen. Have a great weekend.

  One of the mysteries of the Christian life is why God didn’t destroy Satan immediately after Satan sinned. We know that God will one day defeat Satan by throwing him into the Lake of Fire where he will be tortured day and night forever ( Revelation 20:10 ), but sometimes we wonder why God has not destroyed Satan already. Perhaps we will never know God’s exact reasoning, but we do know certain things about His nature. First, we know God is absolutely sovereign over all creation, and this includes Satan. Certainly, Satan and his demons wreak havoc in the world, but they are only allowed a certain amount of freedom. We also know that God has planned everything from the beginning of time to the end. Nothing can thwart His plans, and things are proceeding exactly on schedule. “The LORD of hosts has sworn: ‘As I have planned, so shall it be, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand’” ( Isaiah 14:24 ). Second, “we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those

Verse:    Mark 5:36 'Stop being afraid! Just keep on believing.’ - It is easy to trust the Lord in the brightness of the daytime of our lives. - But to trust Him in the darkness, or in the night season, calls for faith. - When hope is lost, and the end seems inevitable, He tells us to believe. - Fear and faith cannot walk together, so do not be afraid – believe. PRAYER:  Lord, in the midst of the challenges, I know that You are with me. I choose faith over doubt, and I choose to believe, and not to entertain fear and dread. Amen Have an awesome Thursday.

    It is hard to imagine a being like Lucifer (Satan) believing he could even do battle with God, much less defeat Him. Even the most depraved mind should be able to see that a creature cannot possibly contend with the Creator. Yet Satan attempted to dethrone God and strives to this day to defy God’s authority, thwart His plans, and harass His people. Perhaps part of the explanation is that pride has blinded Satan to reality. Two Old Testament passages ( Isaiah 14:12-15  and  Ezekiel 28:11-19 ) discuss Satan’s original position and the reasons for his loss of that position. They tell of an exalted angelic being, one of God’s creatures, who became proud. He determined to take the throne of God for himself. But God removed him from his position. Satan’s influence in worldly affairs is clearly revealed ( John 12:31 ). Satan is extremely intelligent. Through his intelligence he deceived Adam and Eve and took over their rule of the world for himself ( Genesis 1:26 ;  3:1-7 ;  2 Corinthians

Verse:    1 Corinthians 16:13 'Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.’ - Perseverance is part of our walk of faith. - Giving up and throwing in the towel, is not the solution. - We are encouraged to be alert, to stand firm, and to be strong and courageous. - do not allow discouragement, despair, or doubt, to rob you of your hope.  PRAYER:  Lord, thank You, that with Your strength, and enabling power in my life, I can overcome every obstacle, I can trust You with confidence, and I can step forward by faith. Amen. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

    Satan . The devil. Beelzebul. Lucifer. He goes by  many names , but the most powerful force of evil in the universe has already been defeated. The timer on the end of his evil activities was set when the Son of God walked out of the tomb ( Matthew 28:7 ). Jesus defeated sin and death, and Satan was put on notice. Therefore, his time is short (see  Revelation 12:12 ). Satan’s downfall began the moment he, as the angel  Lucifer , challenged God and tried to redirect heaven’s worship to himself ( Isaiah 14:13–14 ). From the moment of his rebellion, Satan’s doom was sure. God cast him from heaven to earth ( Luke 10:18 ) where he gained dominion when Adam followed his example and rebelled against God ( Genesis 3:6-7 ,  17–19 ;  Romans 5:12 ). Satan is now called “the prince of the power of the air” ( John 12:31 ;  Ephesians 2:2 ), “the god of this world” ( 2 Corinthians 4:4 ), “the accuser” of Christians ( Revelation 12:10 ), and “the deceiver of the whole world” ( Revelation 12:9 ).

  Palm reading, also known as “palmistry” or “chiromancy,” has its roots in Greek mythology.  Chiromancy , from the Greek  kheiro , meaning “hand,” and  mantia , meaning “divination,” essentially means “divination from the palm of the hand.” Practitioners believe they can interpret one’s character, fortunes, and possible future events by “reading” the lines, marks, and bumps on the palm of a person’s hand. Although palm reading is not mentioned in the Bible, divination is, and it was specifically forbidden by the Mosaic Law ( Leviticus 19:26 ). Moses warned his people before entering the Promised Land against divination and other practices: “Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD” ( Deuteronomy 18:10–12 ). The penalty for engaging in these pra

  here is your word for today:  Verse:    John 15:4 ‘Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.’ - Staying connected to God, is the most important issue of life. - If this matter is settled, then every other blessing can flow out of this. - In the stress and pressure of life, this vital connection can be lost. - So, determine, in your own heart, to stay connected to the Source of life!  PRAYER:  Lord, it is my choice and my decision to stay in vital union with You. Forgive me, for allowing the issues of life and the cares of this world, to interfere with my connection with You. I choose to abide in You and I open up my heart for You to live in me. Amen. Have a great week.
