Obeying God (4) Friday 14th December 2018 'Noah found favour in the eyes of the Lord.' Genesis 6:8 NIV The Hebrew word translated as favour is chen, which can also mean 'grace' or 'acceptance'. The first time the word 'favour' appears in the Bible is Genesis 6:8, telling us that 'Noah found favour in the eyes of the Lord' (NIV). God had decided to destroy the inhabitants of earth because they'd become so corrupted. The only people spared were Noah and his family, because Noah was 'a righteous man, the only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close fellowship with God' (Genesis 6:9 NLT). Noah hadn't allowed the world to influence him, instead staying true to God and obeying him, so God used him to...

Yes, the Lord is our hiding place. When we are going through a hard time and the boss is picking on us and mocking our faith in Jesus. Let us all run to the arms of the Lord and He will comfort our troubled soul. When our spouse tell us that she is leaving, our hearts should call on the Lord and He will fix our problem. When we lost our job and no money is coming in. Call on the Lord and He will bless your life. Amen

Offer yourselves as living sacrifice to God almighty. I know Thou art mine. He is so precious, He is so wonderful, He is so merciful and kind over those who love Him, praise Him and adore Him day and night till He call us home to heaven. Seek the Lord while He can be found. He is so precious, He is so tender. When we sin against Him, He comes along and touch our life and forgive our transgressions and cleanse our heart. Why should we lift our hands to Him? Why should we follow Him all the way to heaven? 1. Lift up your hands to God in thanksgiving and praise to Him because of the wonderful blessings He sent your way. Saving your soul is one of them. Answering all your prayers is another one. 2. I stand in awe of Him who...

Obeying God (3) Thursday 13th December 2018 'Noah...walked faithfully with God.' Genesis 6:9 NIV Can you imagine what must have gone through Noah's mind when God told him to build a massive boat in the middle of a desert? Maybe Noah wondered if he'd misheard. But we know that 'Noah did everything just as God commanded him' (Genesis 6:22 NIV). And he did it because he 'walked faithfully with God' (Genesis 6:9 NIV). Walking takes place step by step. But we tend to want God to show us the second step before we've taken the first. We'll only trust God as far as we can see. Ever watched a horse jumping competition? The horse can't see where it's going to land on the other side, and may be scared or unsure. To tackle it successfully...

Obeying God (2) Wednesday 12th December 2018 'By faith Noah...built an ark.' Hebrews 11:7 NIV Worshipping God includes prayer, praise, and singing worship songs. But, every activity we do, no matter how big or small, can be turned into an act of worship. Seeing worship from this perspective can have a huge influence on how we approach tasks, even the ones we don't like. God trusted Noah with building the ark, and Noah was faithful to God. Sawing planks and hammering nails was an act of obedience. If Noah could be faithful in that enormous, daunting project, surely we can be just as faithful in smaller things. There's an old poem that goes: 'For want of a nail the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe the horse was lost. For want of...

Come and quench this thristing of my soul. He alone can take away all sin and evil from our heart, mind and soul. Fill it up and make us all whole. He is our true leader who will lead us all to heaven. He wil satisfy the longings of your soul. He is our strong tower in which we stand. He is kind and good to those who love Him with all their heart mind and soul. He is thoughful of all our needs. He wants to bless our life. He is humble and true to His word. Lord, when you said to me. Seek My face. My inner being responded... I am seeking Your face with all of my heart. Psalm 27.8

Obeying God (1) Tuesday 11th December 2018 'Noah did everything just as God commanded him.' Genesis 6:22 NIV Imagine if God had asked you to build the ark, instead of Noah. What an incredibly daunting task! The ark was roughly the length of one-and-a-half football fields. Inside, it would have been about the same size as 350 buses. If we take the average animal to be the size of a sheep, the ark would have held around 125,000 animals. If you were under the same conditions as Noah then, as well as being tasked with building this immense structure, you'd have no power tools or machinery to help you build it. Most of us probably wouldn't even try if we were asked to take on the task; it seems impossible. But with God's help...

Whatever we do on earth should be all done to the glory of God the Father. He give us strenght to work and open our hearts to worship Him in spirit and in truth.

In his strength Monday 10th December 2018 'It is...by my Spirit,' says the Lord.' Zechariah 4:6 NLT Sometimes it feels like we don't have what it takes to do something for God. Or we feel that nobody is walking with us in our calling. It's easy to become discouraged and give up. But God never leaves us to face anything on our own. Zerubbabel was called to rebuild the temple. It was a huge task, but God reassured him, 'It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit' (Zechariah 4:6 NLT). We can't do everything on our own, we need to be dependent on God. When we don't include him in what we're doing, we could end up in a worse situation. Samson discovered this: 'He awoke from his sleep and thought, "I'll go out as before and...

Just want to take a moment to Congratulate New Birth Missionary Baptist Church and their new Senior Pastor, Dr. Jamal Bryant. CONGRATULATIONS!!! Many have voiced negative judgement against this man, but this is what I know from experience, God does not choose perfect people because such does not exist. Man, oftentimes finds himself entrapped in sin when he chooses to select from those who look perfect according their outer cup. Can we just keep it real for a minute? You see, some folk are of the misconception that Dr. Bryant’s sins are more sinful than their lying, cheating, stealing, sleeping with the pastor’s wife/husband, sleeping with choir members (1 Corinthians 5). But, when God grants you a pardon, you don’t place your own...
