Divine Nature

Verse:    Matthew 6:26 ‘Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your Heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to Him than they are?’ - Never underestimate your great value to the Lord. - He is your Heavenly Father Who cares for all of nature and for you. - Don’t look around yourself in dismay and despair, but keep your eyes on Him. - He will provide, He will undertake and He will supply your needs. PRAYER:  Lord, thank You for reminding me of the fact that I am valuable and precious to You. You are my Heavenly Father and I have nothing to fear because I can trust and rely on You. Amen. Welcome to June.

  The Bible never tells us exactly how long Jesus lived on earth. Most of what we think about His age is based on educated guesses. The age that a priest could enter public ministry was 30 years old. Correspondingly, Jesus began His public ministry when He was “about 30 years old” ( Luke 3:23 ). This is really the only time reference that we have concerning Jesus’ age. When estimating how long Jesus lived, one problem is that the gospels never give (and do not claim to give) a comprehensive account of all of Jesus’ activities. However, most scholars believe, after a careful study of the gospels, that there is evidence that Jesus observed at least three distinct  Passovers  during His public ministry. Perhaps He celebrated more Passovers that we don’t know about, but, if there are at least three, then His public ministry would have lasted between 2 and 3 years. If you take “about 30” when He started public ministry and add “about three” more years of ministry, you get an age of about 33

Verse:    1 Peter 5:7 ‘Casting all your care on Him, for He cares for you.’ - Perhaps the greatest joy in life is to know that God cares for us. - He is the One Who leaves the 99 to find the 1 that has lost its way. - The weight of life can drain our strength, but HE tells us to give it to Him. - Let go of your anxieties, worries, and concerns, He will be there for you. PRAYER:  Lord, I take this moment to give You all those things that concern and trouble me. You are my Good Shepherd and I know that You will take care of me. Amen. Have a great week.

Water baptism symbolizes the believer’s total trust in and total reliance on the Lord Jesus Christ, as well as a commitment to live obediently to Him. It also expresses unity with all the saints (Ephesians 2:19), that is, with every person in every nation on earth who is a member of the Body of Christ (Galatians 3:27–28). Water baptism conveys this and more, but it is not what saves us. Instead, we are saved by grace through faith, apart from works (Ephesians 2:8–9). We are baptized because our Lord commanded it: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19). Water baptism is for believers. Before we are baptized, we must come to believe that we are sinners in need of salvation (Romans 3:23). We must also believe that Christ died on the cross to pay for our sins, that He was buried, and that He was resurrected to assure our place in heaven (1 Corinthians 15:1–4). When we turn to Jesus, aski

God has control over what happens to us. Written by  Gary Fleetwood  on 20/02/2018 Series:  Weekly Devotional Tags:  Life ,  Purpose ,  Trials And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 Romans 8:28  has to be one of the most amazing verses in the Bible. It addresses the simple fact that God always has a greater purpose for our life. One of the most vivid examples of this is the story of Joseph in the book Genesis. Joseph never could have imagined what God wanted to do through him. The amazing part of this story is that nothing can stop God from accomplishing what he wants to do in a person’s life.   The story begins with Joseph having a dream that his brothers would one day bow down to him. His brothers were so mad that they decided to find a way to kill him. So, they came up with a plan and threw him in a hole in the ground to die. A wild animal would probably find him in the deep pit and ju

Verse:    1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ‘Always be joyful (rejoice). Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.’ - In this Scripture we read about the keys to success in life. - Moaning, complaining, and negativity robs us of the victorious life He has for us. - But rejoicing, being prayerful and thankful, brings us out on top. - Don’t settle for the mud and mire, lift up your hands, rejoice and be thankful. PRAYER:  Lord, today I choose to rejoice, I choose to continue believing You as I pray and bring my requests to You, and I choose to have a thankful heart. I will look to You, in all Your wonder and glory, and remind myself of Your greatness and Your love for me. Amen. Have a great weekend.

I am the only God there is.’ - In the course of life there are many things that we can turn to for help. - But there is only one Lord and one God to Whom we should turn. - It’s as we turn to Him that we can know and experience His saving power. - He alone is God and there is no other.

Hell has no exit door. Written by  Lois  on 12/07/2016 Series:  Weekly Devotional Tags:  Christ ,  Heaven ,  Hell ,  Jesus ,  Salvation No one can live forever, all will die. No one can escape the power of the grave. Psalm 89:48 Is Hell real? The Bible tells us about two places, Heaven and Hell. Spending eternity in Heaven or Hell is our choice.  ( Revelation 22:17 )  Hell does not have an exit door, and is the destiny of everyone who is without God  ( 2 Thessalonians 1:8-10 ) . Only Jesus can save us from that destiny.  “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” ( John 3:16 ) . So what is Hell? Here are the three things that you need to know about what the Bible says about Hell... 1. What’s the reason that God made Hell? Did you know that once there was war in Heaven led by a former angel?  Revelation 12:7-9  says,  “Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels. And the dragon

Verse:    Matthew 11:28 ‘Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.’ - Your Saviour and your God says to you: ‘Come to Me!’ - Come, just as you are, in spite of how you may be feeling. - He sees your heart and He calls out to you and invites you to come to Him. - He will lift the burdens and the heaviness, and He will give you rest. PRAYER:  Lord, You are my King of kings and You are my Lord of lords. I choose to respond to Your invitation and I come to You. I long for Your presence and the rest and peace that only comes from You. Amen. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Kind Regards

  You too can sing hymns in jail at midnight if you know this secret. Written by  Jim Denison  on 25/05/2021 Series:  Weekly Devotional Tags:  Happiness ,  Joy ,  Pandemic ,  Trouble ,  Circumstance …the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control… Galatians 5:22–23 There is such a need for joy in our culture. There’s this idea of a division between soul and spirit, typical of our culture, which cuts us off from God, who is the source of joy. He is also the source of life, the source of everything our hearts most need. Ancient Greek philosophy brought us the idea that the soul existed in a pre-incarnate state. It sinned, as we would put it, and it was punished by being put in a body. The whole point of life, it was thought, was to live in such a way that when we die, our souls would go back where they came from. This isn’t a Christian idea at all. But it became a part of the thought that influenced the whole Western worl

Verse:    Psalm 91:14        (NLT) The LORD says, ‘I will rescue those who love Me. I will protect those who trust in My name.’ - There are great rewards for those who love and trust in the Lord. - He will protect you from those things that would try to destroy you. - He will rescue you from those things that have tried to control you. - The Lord will be with you no matter what you are going through. PRAYER:  Lord, I declare that I love You and that I trust in Your mighty Name. Come and step into my life and protect and rescue me, I pray. Amen. Have a blessed Tuesday.

What is the symbolism behind the tabernacle? Written by  GodLife  on 24/11/2020 Series:  Weekly Devotional Tags:  Holy ,  Draw Near ,  Tabernacle ,  Meet Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Hebrews 10:19-22 I’ve wondered why God was so detailed about how Moses was to make the tent of meeting ("Tabernacle").  God warned Moses to make it exactly like what He showed him ( Exodus 25:8-9 ). It was important to Israel, but I wondered why should it mean anything to me ... until I saw how the Tabernacle was a picture of Jesus making a way for us to know and rightly worship the living, holy God! Here’s the picture: 1. Firs
