Bible verse: 2 Timothy 4:18 contd.
And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Message
It is not praying and fasting that will preserve you unto God's heavenly kingdom.
Rather, it is:
developing love and showing love to your enemies and to do good to them.
separating your life from every evil association and every evil gathering.
separating yourself from foul thoughts, vile imaginations, evil desires.
having a sincere, honest, heart without malice, treachery, or evil intent.
Yes! thou shalt harbour no hatred in thy heart and thou shalt keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

Stand out firmly against evil thoughts and imaginations.
Don't forget that a man's heart may become so foul that purity refuses any longer to be its guest.
Therefore depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

Prayer
I stand by the authority of the Most High God and I pray that as the midnight separate the old day from the new day, so shall my life forever be separated from failure, hardship, poverty, lack, disease and any relationship that would sabotage my destiny in Jesus name.

Bible verse: 2 Timothy 4:18
And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Message
When you turn away from your evil ways, God will NOT bring upon you destruction.
Beloveth, don't forget that sinful lifestyle brings destruction while righteousness is honoured by the Lord with protection, success and peace.
You cannot get away with evil works and sin. It will catch up to you and destroy you.
It is time to check yourself, your habits, your lifestyle, your faithfulness, your walking in righteousness and then choose either righteousness or wickedness.
It is never too late to repent because God is expecting the transformation of your mind and ready to welcome you back to His kingdom like the prodigal son.
Surprise those waiting for your destruction and follow the steps of the Ninevites.
While Jonah was anxiously awaiting the overthrow of Nineveh, God was anxiously awaiting the repentance of the Ninevites.
What did they do? They fasted, and urgently called upon God, and they turned from their ways.
They made seeking God and His will priority number one in their lives.

Prayer
Whoever that set out today to discredit me shall be silenced, and anyone that goes around to speak evil of me shall be shut down and put to shame in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Proverbs 18:20
20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

Message
Beloveth, have you taken record of your desires since the beginning of this year and now that you have entered this eight month in good health and sound mind?
Have you cross-checked those wishes that have been materialized and those that are yet to?
How many of those desires were started but fall short of materialization?

If the result of your statistic is negative or below average then you are been fed with the fruit of your mouth; and with the increase of your lips you have been filled.

Which fruits come out of your mouth?
- are they blessings to others or discouragement?
- are they complains and murmuring or of appreciation and thanksgiving?
- are there elements of hypocricy, spreading false news, tormenting and killing others with your unguarded tongue?
Which seed are you sowing with your lips - the type that fall on the way side or that fall on stony places or that fall among thorns or on good ground?

Beloveth, you should not continue with unguarded mouth, with complaints and murmuring but with appreciation, joy, praises and thanksgiving.
Acknowledge and confess your laxities and your sins and ask God for forgiveness and transformation. He is prepared to give you another chance so you can enjoy those things He has programmed for your destiny.

Yes! those closed door will open, those missed opportunities will resurface and there will be a turn around in your life.

Prayer
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
Guide my footstep today and forever so that I won't fall into the traps of any evil neighbours in Jesus name.

Bible verse: 2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Message
Grace from God comprises every good thing that is bestowed on sinners, whether temporal or spiritual.
Grace does not mean that we are pretty good people and that God gives us the added boost to make it to heaven.
It means that we are complete and utter failures spiritually because of our fallen wicked hearts and laundry lists of sin but that God being merciful and loving to a creation that He loved and doesn't want us to perish.

Beloveth, grace is not God ignoring sin, overlooking sin, or arbitrarily deciding that it really isn't that bad after all.
God is trying to keep sanctifying us and transforming us into His likeness so that we shall not miss heaven.

If you are at last sent away into everlasting punishment, it will not be because there is not grace enough in God to save you,
or because you had not heard of the abundance of grace, or because you were not warned to flee from the wrath to come but simply because you obstinately refused to repent and wilfully choose eternal death.


Prayer
Dear Lord, grant me the grace to accept my limits, the faith to trust You more and a greater willingness to let You have full control of my life in Jesus name.
I pray that I may learn to walk in obedience, in spirit and truth and to submit to Your spirit's guidance in my life and secure me by thy grace as I sail across the stormy sea in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Matthew 5:23-24 contd.
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Message
If you know someone is angry with you, perhaps even willing to call you names behind your back, you should go talk with them.
Go and seek reconciliation.
Is your feelings, thoughts, words, or actions toward another person have been altered for more than a short period of time and the offense is probably too serious to overlook? Take courage and seek reconciliation.
Is it damaging others physically or emotionally, such as family abuse or adultery or damaging others spiritually or others are being lead astray from faith in Jesus by their actions or the sin so serious it is harming the one committing it?
Leave there thy gift before the altar, seek reconciliation and overlook minor offences.
Beloveth, when we sin against each other we are to restore each other as Christ restores us.


Prayer
Dear heavenly Father I need Your strength to say no when I am tempted to surrender to harmful things, or when selfishness clings to my clothes and won't let go.
I need Your strength to say yes, when cowardice and fear nudge me to deny the convictions of my heart.
I need Your strength to reach out in love to those, both close to me and all around me, who have offended me or I have offended:
Guard me with the power and spirit of reconciliation in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Matthew 5:23-24
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Message
There are two sides to every story.
Try to see this conflict through their eyes, and then bring anything you need to repent of before the Lord.

Can you recollect a brother/sister hath ought against thee, that person who hath swallowed you up, dig that pit for you, or let you down or misuse that confidence and trust?
Was it that you not the victim but the cause or responsible?

Jesus is talking about you going to the person directly to potentially confess and hopefully correct the conflict.
He is warning us that hate in the heart is just as sinful as hate acted out.
He is saying that reconciliation is more important than religion, than your offerings, gifts and tithe.

Yes, if a brother has something against you, rightfully or wrongfully, and whether it was intentional or unintentional, you should go and reconcile so that your joy shall be full.

Prayer
Thank You Lord for the blessings that abound in my live.
Help me to look at my live through Your lens, without outside influence, in true appreciation for what You are doing in my small corner of the world, within the walls of my house, and with the gifts and talents that You have given us.
Grant me the strength and ability of walking and acting Christ-like in Jesus name.

Bible verse: 2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Message
Transformation is from God's outside power.
You are being renewed in the spirit of your minds and you put on the new man if you are in Christ.
Not only do you have a new life, you have a new purpose, new perspective.
You are to see others and yourself in accordance with the truth, stop judging others and yourself according to the flesh but with love, acceptance, and grace of God; seeing yourself as God sees you, and not who you think you need to be according to your parents, spouse, friends, or even the media.

Beloveth, everyone is given an opportunity to become a completely new person, with a new nature and a new life.
That opportunity to become part of God's new creation, and be born of the Spirit of God, washed in Christ's blood, and become a member of His Body, is available to all.
You need to take off your former way of life, the old man that is corrupted by deceitful desires and allow God to have every area of you life.
See success, progress, elevation and breakthrough this month and commit your ways unto the Lord.

HAPPY NEW MONTH !!

Prayer
Thank You Lord for the opportunity to witness the first day of the eight month of yet another pandemic year.
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sins.
Let me see others, and even myself, with a new sense of what truly matters and regard no one from a worldly point of view in Jesus name.
