But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
1 Peter 2:9-10
Will you join millions of people around the world praising and worshiping the Lord on this Lord’s Day? I pray that you know the power there is in praising the Lord every day of your life. One important truth is that the enemy will flee from your life when you praise the Lord and you call on the Name of Jesus.
Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
Psalm 8:1-2
You have been chosen by the Lord. You are a new creature in Christ. Recall all the Lord has done in your life since that glorious day the Lord touched your heart and life. My prayer is that you are still growing in the Lord and that you have not become just a Christian who only goes to church, but does not have a daily personal relationship with the Lord.
Have you found the secret to praising the Lord in the midst of any circumstance that you face? In this week’s Saturday Testimonies we had personal testimonies of how using the Lord’s Word, His Truths and principles, enables you to walk in peace and victory in the midst of any of the circumstances that you are facing due to your marriage problems.
I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.
Psalm 9:1-2
Never forget that the Lord called you out of the enemy’s darkness so pray for your husband, wife, siblings, mum, dad, uncles, aunties, colleagues, neighbours, co-workers et cetera have been taken captive by their ignorance or did not realize the severe consequences to dabbling in the sins of this world. Satan is just waiting for anyone – you, your spouse, teenager or young adult – to just look over the hedge of God’s protection to see if the grass is greener on the other side. May you comprehend what that means to you right now as you pray for the lost. They have become blinded to God’s truth. But the Holy Spirit is wanting to use you to become the prayer warrior to intercede for tge lost. Are you not burdened that your loved ones may not know the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of their life?
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
John 8:42-47
Every day I am praising the Lord for how blessed I am to pray for so many hurting men, women and children who are going through many difficult circumstances. I know the Lord wants every soul to know God as their Redeemer, Protector, Provider, Defender, Deliverer and Refuge for every minute and hour of each day. The Holy Spirit is living within you, to empower you and direct your every step. I know that I know your spouse or loved ones can be delivered by our Lord Jesus Christ. Will you continue to pray and believe in God’s mighty power?
Please remember every time you go to any Bible study or church service, there may be backslidden Christians or a man or a woman or young adult who has fallen into sin and are seeking the answer to how to get out of the mess they are living in. Jesus is the answer. Please remember to pray for the power of the Holy Spirit to speak to their heart as they cry out, confessing their sins to the Lord as they seek His way to freedom! May many hearts and lives be changed this Lord’s Day.
He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor."
Luke 4:16-19
Favour is yours.
