Today’s Inspiration: “Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you. And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you, so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.” I Thessalonians 3:11-13 NKJV. Life is likened God’s Kingdom university which teaches us much about testings, trials and even tribulations. If life is easy we will not need God, and if life doesn’t have God, it will not be easy. For Christ spoke about the heavy yoke of life, but His is easy and His burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30.
The gospel is God’s good news for the poor, sick and needy souls. Prayer is the altar of our souls and our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthian 3:16. Dying to our flesh is not a Sunday occurrence or a conference encounter. It is a daily consecration, surrender and yielding to God in prayer, petitions and thanksgiving unto God. Philippians 4:6 You simply can’t say you have a relationship with someone and be with him for one day. It’s carnality and transactional, not relational. To have a relationship with God is being in the presence of Him all the time, and a heart desire for Him and not things. This reflects our relationship with others as well in family, marriage, parenting, ministry and workplace. When we encounter God’s love in our lives, it renews our minds and changes our hearts. Romans 12:2. Healing, restoration and reconciliation is always the children’s bread from God, a relationship with our Abba Father daily.
Prayer: O Lord my God, let me abide in your Word and let your Word abide in me that I am yours, no longer a slave to sin but a child of God, who I call Abba Father, who loves me more than anyone on this earth. Give me your daily manna and guide me every moment with your Holy Spirit wisdom, compassion and gentleness to love, connect and engage with the people around me and those who are closest and dearest to me. Draw me close to your Lord, as you draw close to me, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
