THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST

“Anyone who sees his brother sinning, if the sin is not deadly, should petition God, and thus life will be given to the sinner.” –1 John 5:16   Many have not had Christmas because they have not repented of sin in their lives. We should petition the Lord for sinners and life will be given to them. Through the Lord’s forgiveness, they will be given Christmas just before the season ends. The devil grinch thought he had robbed them of Christmas. However, by prayer, we rob the robber and give many people another opportunity for Christmas. On this second last...

VICTOR OR VICTIM?

“Who, then, is conqueror of the world? The one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.” –1 John 5:5 We are victors over the world or victims of the world. Only by faith in Jesus as God will we escape being victimized. Unless we pray to the Lord, we will become the prey of the world. Either Jesus runs our lives, or we are manipulated into running our lives into the ground, even into hell. By ourselves, we are unable to protect ourselves from unscrupulous, hateful demons. Of ourselves, our lives are necessarily out of control. Jesus is...

OPEN ALL YOUR PRESENTS

“Ask of Me and I will give you the nations for an inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession.” –Psalm 2:8 “Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor has it so much as dawned on man what God has prepared for those who love Him” (1 Cor 2:9). “This is the day the Lord has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it” (Ps 118:24). The Lord will express His love for us in amazing ways today: Today, “a people living in darkness” will see “a great light” (Mt 4:16). Today, “on those who...

Let my prayer come before you, Lord. Sept 30th ’14

Reading 1 jb 3:1-3, 11-17, 20-23 Job opened his mouth and cursed his day. Job spoke out and said: Perish the day on which I was born, the night when they said, “The child is a boy!” Why did I not perish at birth, come forth from the womb and expire? Or why was I not buried away like an untimely birth, like babes that have never seen the light? Wherefore did the knees receive me? or why did I suck at the breasts? For then I should have lain down and been tranquil; had I slept, I should then...

Guide me, Lord, in the way of your commands. Sept 23rd ’14

Reading 1 prv 21:1-6, 10-13 Like a stream is the king’s heart in the hand of the LORD; wherever it pleases him, he directs it. All the ways of a man may be right in his own eyes, but it is the LORD who proves hearts. To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. Haughty eyes and a proud heart– the tillage of the wicked is sin. The plans of the diligent are sure of profit, but all rash haste leads certainly to poverty. Whoever makes a fortune by a lying tongue is...
