Anger (1) Thursday 8th November 2018 'Be angry, and do not sin.' Ephesians 4:26 NKJV We all get angry. But there's a right way and a wrong way to handle our anger. Cain was angry that God had accepted his bother Abel's sacrifice, but not his, so he murdered Abel (have a read of Genesis 4:1-8). Jesus handled his anger the right way: 'Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. "It is written," he said to them, "'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are making it 'a den of robbers.'" The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them' (Matthew 21:12-14 NIV). The Bible...
Meditating on God's Word Wednesday 7th November 2018 'On his law he meditates day and night.' Psalm 1:2 ESV How do you usually read the Bible? Do you tend to read it hurriedly when you have a few minutes to spare, or do you spend a lot of time reading it? Most of us will fall somewhere between the two. We mustn't underestimate the importance of meditating on God's Word. We might think of 'meditation' as something un-Christian, or something difficult and mysterious that only scholars and 'spiritual' people do. But really it just means thinking deeply and continuously about a passage of scripture, letting it take root, and asking God to reveal his meaning in those words. Reading the Bible is not about how much scripture we...
Be generous and be refreshed Tuesday 6th November 2018 'The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.' Proverbs 11:25 NLT There are many ways to be generous - with our time, money, words, talents. But why should we be generous? Proverbs 11:25 says, 'The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed' (NLT). When we give of ourselves to others, God rewards us for our generosity. The Bible tells us: 'A farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves a person who gives...
One disturbing habit I see that most people{even some Christians} have is making scapegoats. People don't like to take responsibility for their own role in something,or maybe they don't want to admit something painful to them, so they play the "blame game".It's "so and sos" fault.Started in the Garden of Eden. When God confronted Adam, he said,"The woman gave me, and I ate."{GAVE HIM, didn't FORCE him. He knew Gods instructions yet ate the fruit. And Eve, "the serpent mislead me, and I ate."The serpent misled, but again, Eve had instructions from God,she CHOSE to listen to the snake.{Satan}Noone forced anyone, but yet they avoided their own responsibility for what they did.So sometimes guilt causes someone to "make excuses" by telling...
A prayer for self-control Monday 5th November 2018 'God wants you to be holy, so don't be immoral in matters of sex.' 1 Thessalonians 4:3 CEV When God created Adam and Eve, he told them to 'multiply and replenish the earth' (see Genesis 1:28). That helps to explain why sex is one of the strongest of human drives. But if we allow this drive to take control and determine our behaviour, we can make bad decisions. The Bible says: 'God wants... each of you to learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honourable. Don't use your body for sexual sin like the people who do not know God' (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 NCV). When we have physical intimacy with a person we're not truly committed to, eventually someone's going to get...
People left me all alone and crying in the middle of the road. I wanted to be with someone. I was looking for a friend who can help me out find my way to heaven. Is there anyone there to help find the way that leads to glory? Can I trust someone to take my hand and lead me on to find God? It is not about who hurt us or broke us down. It is about who is always there to help us out from the awful place we were found out to be. It is Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Stretching His lovely hands toward me and everyone who believes and trust Him. So, whem I am all alone in this world. Jesus is right there for me. To comfort, to lead, to help and to heal our wounds. When I feel that I am nothing, then God is my everything, to encourage...
