Then his wife said to him, “Do you still cling to your integrity [and your faith and trust in God, without blaming Him]? Job 2:9 Holy Bible Amplified Version
If anybody had the right to lose faith in Jehovah it is Job. Everything he had, his wealth family and health while remaining faithful unto Jehovah. Yet, through it all he persevered even though he did not understand while all the tragedy was happening to him.
There have been many times in my walk with Christ when I was suffering and not knowing why it was happening. I called out unto the Lord and He was silent. In the end I just told the Lord that even though it is tough and I do not understand why this is happening my faith in Him and His reason for allowing this was unshakable. It was later that I realized that some of them occurred to strengthen my faith while others were happening to burn off the dross. The final analysis though is that it was always for my own good.
“When I cannot enjoy the faith of assurance, I live by the faith of adherence.” — Matthew Henry
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Hamelech ( Jesus my Lord King ) that even though many times I do not understand what You are doing or why I have complete faith that You are doing this for my own good because You love me so much. I exalt You for this blessing in Your awesome name. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
But let all who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice, Let them ever sing for joy; Because You cover and shelter them, Let those who love Your name be joyful and exult in You. Psalms 5: 11 Holy Bible Amplified Version
Refuge is defined as a shelter or protection from danger or distress. We as children of Jehovah have free access when ever it is needed under His almighty protection from Satan and his minions.
That does not mean we will not under go times of trial and tribulation, sorrow and snares. These are required of every child to grow strong in our walk with Christ in our ability to with stand them and to have confidence in Divine intervention when they are too strong for us to withstand. The result of this is to be filled with love , admiration and joy towards our awesome God. We cannot but in exhalation sing songs of love and joy as a gift of gratitude towards our Heavenly Beloved.
Jesus is moved to happiness every time He sees that you appreciate what He has done for you. –Ole Hallesby
Prayer: I extol You oh Jehovah-Gador Milchamah ( The Lord is Mighty in Battle ) for the uncountable times You have come to my aid and rescued me from certain destruction the oh so many times when Satan or his minions have unmercifully attacked a weak soul like me with Your ultimate power. I thank You for the countless times You have allowed me to walk through the fire and You were there with me in my each and every time. I exalt You in the name of He who never deserted His disciples Jesus Christ . Amen .
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
And blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired) is he who trusts [confidently] in the Lord. Proverbs 16:20 Holy Bible, Amplified Version
Every day I pray for Jehovah to bless me with opening my eyes to all His blessings great and small. Joseph- Anthony: Green
When I do this my attitude is one of gratefulness and this creates a happy disposition in my daily life that flows out to those around me. Many times it brings light into anothers darkened day. They in turn share it with others. You may be surprised at just how much your positive attitude can change the environment you are in whether that be at school work or in society ( like on public transit). Now, the older we get the more deep wounds we have in our hearts from those who have abused us.
The devil will use these to play over and over again in your mind to steal away your happiness.
When this happens, why not pray for Jehovah to help you focus your thoughts on your amazing love affair with Him.
When you have a heart of gratitude there is no place for anger, fear or worry. Joseph- Anthony: Green
This is a blessing that must be asked for daily and be appreciated in the evening time with bed time prayers of gratitude unto the giver of these blessings.
Happiness is a product of attitude and thought. It comes from you, not to you. –Richard Daly
Prayer: Please Jehovah-Bara (The Lord Creator) bless me with creating a daily attitude and behaviour of gratitude for all the numerous blessing You abundantly graciously give me every day. Bless me with concentrating upon Your love to heal the deep wounds that have been inflicted upon my heart so that it will be filled with Your divine love to be shared with others through out the day today and every day. I sincerely request this in the name of He who taught His disciples gratitude as He walked with them Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sweet sunshine of Jesus’ beautiful love bless you today and every day.
We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 New King James Version
Are you involved in ministry and no matter what you do it seems to fail?
Are you involved in ministry and no matter what you do it seems unfulfilling?
Could it be that you are not where you belong?
Could it be that you are doing ministry that you want to do instead of being where Jehovah wants you to be?
Notice we are called to Gods purpose not our own. Now where He leads us will be difficult and many times unglamorous.
It is good for it to be difficult because hat help us be more dependant upon Jehovah and not ourselves. In the process this leads us to a deeper love and appreciation for the Lord.
Could it be that it is unglamorous because the Lord does not want us to be full of pride but rather full of respect for Him?
Prayer: Please Jehovah Hesseh (God is love) bless me to concentrate on emulating Your divine love while fulfilling Your divine purpose in my dedicated life to You. I humbly request this in the name of He who followed Your purpose all the way to the cross Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. Psalm 66:18 New International Version
There was a man with two sons.
One son was obedient and loving with his father. As a consequence the father loved to show his affection and appreciation by showering the son with gifts.
The other son was arrogant, rude and unappreciative of the father. As a result the father gave that son nothing.
The first son is a Christian, the second worldly.
If you cherish the sinful life you are arrogant rude and disobedient to the Father. When you are like that and need His help why should He listen to you when you reject Him?
Prayer: I thank you Jehovah Abba (God our Father) for blessing me with an amazing loving relationship with you. Because of this I know You will always listen to this, Your loving child that You love so much. I praise you in the name of Your most holy son Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it Revelation 1:3 New King James Version
Do you see the three parts of this blessing?
One: when we pray for Jehovah to open our minds and hearts to what He is saying to us as we read the Bible we will be blessed with understanding. That is why reading our Bibles every day is so important.
Two: When we pray that Jehovah blesses us with understand with what a pastor is saying he will bless us with knowledge. That is why it is important to listen to godly preachers. I like Allister Begg, Charles Spurgeon, Vance Havener and many other that can be found at seromadudio.com and oneplace.com. At sermon audio you can listen to great ones from the past which are really good.
Three: Once we have been enlightened we must do our part and be obedient to what is being taught in order to receive the ultimate blessing. That of course is a deeper understanding of, appreciation and love for our Heavenly Father, King and Teacher.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah KalEl (voice of God) for speaking to me and blessing me with understanding. This has of course blessing me with a deeper understanding, love and obedience to You, my King (Jesus) and my Holy Teacher (the Holy Spirit). I praise You in the name of Your most obedient son Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD PROVERBS 3:7 King James Version
Do not be an egoistical twit and be puffed up like a peacock with your blessings.
Do not forget:
A peacock is a little bird with big colourful feathers so too are the egoistical with their pride. Joseph- Anthony: Green
That means do not falsely believe that you know everything in your field of specialty.
If you are good with computers, do not believe you know everything about them.If you are good at carpentry do not believe you know everything about building houses.
I have seen many who thought they were the best brought crashing down by those they thought they were better than.
To fear the Lord in this instance means to respect the Him.
To respect Him means you are to show your appreciation for the blessing He has given you by using your gift for His kingdoms purpose.
So if you have been blessed with being good at finances, volunteer at your church or some program to help those who are not good at it. If you are good at cooking volunteer at soup kitchens or at church socials.
Do not forget: if you abuse it you will lose it.
So do not be surprised if God takes your gift from you if you do not show your respect towards Him.
Prayer: Please Jehovah Elohim ((God our creator) create in me a grateful heart that gladly uses the gift You have so generously blessed me with to use this talent to further Your kingdom. I humbly request this in the name of wisest of all Your children Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
