Warnings Against Foolishness

1 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.

27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?

29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;

31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts. — Proverbs 6 | King James Version (KJV) The King James Version Bible is in the public domain Cross References: Genesis 4:15; Genesis 6:5; Genesis 39:8; Genesis 39:19; Exodus 20:17; Deuteronomy 6:8; Deuteronomy 7:25; Deuteronomy 19:10; 2 Chronicles 36:16; Job 15:12; Job 38:39; Psalm 27:12; Psalm 91:3; Psalm 140:2; Psalm 132:4; Proverbs 2:11-12; Proverbs 5:9-10; Proverbs 7:1; Proverbs 7:7; Proverbs 10:5; Proverbs 10:26; Proverbs 11:15; Proverbs 10:15; Proverbs 19:15; Proverbs 23:21; Proverbs 30:27; Song of Solomon 8:7; Jeremiah 26:15; Matthew 5:28; Romans 3:15; Ephesians 6:1

Here are some reasons why Christians suffer...

Philippians 1:29 KJV

"For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;"

Job 1:8 KJV

"And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?"

Job 1:21 KJV

"And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."

Job 2:9-10 KJV

"Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die." "But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips."

Luke 22:31-32 KJV

"And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:"

"But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren."

Matthew 10:37-38 KJV

"He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." "And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me."

Notes from the movie: American Gospel Christ Alone - It's Amazing & important

Matthew 10:37, Job 1:8, 1:21, 2:9-10, Luke 22:31, Philippians 1:29

• Only God is good. Jesus was perfect and obedient to God the Father, yet suffered.

• God tests our faith, obedience and love.

• Faith put Job into his suffering.

• Job suffered because everything was going right in his life.

God has purposes in our suffering

• to humble us

• to conform us into the image of Christ

• to wean us off of the world

• to purify us

• to help us identify with other people who are suffering

God always hears your prayers. Have complete faith in him and his promises. Always pray in Jesus' name and God will answer your prayer if it's what is best for you, according to his perfect holy will.

Please share this with your friends and family and on social media. 🙏

The Month of Nissan

Judah Goes First

The Scriptures (The Holy Bible) speaks more of the Tribe of Judah than any other Tribe of Israel. To understand why this is, we need to go back in history. Back to Genesis.

Judah was the fourth son of Jacob by his first wife, Leah (Genesis 29:35). Judah married a Canaanite woman, the daughter of Shua and they had three sons, Er, Onan and Shelah.

Er, the firstborn of Judah, married Tamar, but the Scriptures tells us that he was evil and God took his life (Genesis 38:6-7). Judah commanded his second-born son, Onan, to marry Tamar and produce an heir for his deceased brother as God’s laws commanded. However, Onan did not carry out God’s command because the child would not be his heir, hence, God took Onan’s life for his refusal to give his brother an heir (Genesis 38:8-10).

The story of Judah and Tamar is found in Genesis chapter 38. This chapter indicates that Tamar became pregnant by Judah (his daughter in law see Genesis 38:11-30 to see how this came to be), and she conceived twins. When Tamar was giving birth, one twin put out his hand first and the midwife tied a scarlet thread on it and said, “This one came out first.” But the other twin, Perez, came out unexpectedly followed by Zerah with the scarlet thread tied on his hand (Genesis 38:27-30).

God used the birth of these two twins to establish two lines of genealogy in the tribe of Judah, hence fulfilling a promise God made to Abraham stating the following; “and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”(Genesis 12:3 KJV). This promise would come through the line of Perez. King David and the kings of Judah would descend through the line of Perez. But what is more important is that Jesus, Yeshua, would come through the line of Perez so “all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Genesis 12:3 & Matthew 1:3, 16).

The Apostle Paul said the following, “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.” (Galatians 3:16).

Genesis 49:1 tells us that Jacob, in his death bed, gave a word to his sons saying; “And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.” But Genesis 49:8-10 tells us specifically what Jacob spoke about his son Judah saying; “8- Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee. 9- Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? 10- The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.” 

This passage indicates to us that God looked upon Judah as His ‘strong warrior’ likening Judah as a ‘young lion’ sleeping after devouring its prey. The point is that whatever God saw in the tribe Judah, He, God, choose it to be His lawgiver and choose Judah as the tribe from which Messiah would come to be born as Hebrews 7:14 tells us; “For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.” (KJV) To give greater merit and weight to the importance of Judah, Yeshua is called “the Lion of the Tribe of Judah” in Revelations 5:5 that reads; “And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.” 

King David the Psalmist was compelled and moved to emphasize Judah’s role as a lawgiver when he wrote twice “Judah is my lawgiver” in Psalms 69:7 and 108:8, repeating the exact same scripture.

Judah wasn’t only a ‘lawgiver’, but a ‘Preserver of God’s Written Laws.’ The apostle Paul makes this very clear in Romans 31:1-2 when he states the following; “1- What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 2- Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.”

Throughout history, the Jews have faithfully and zealously preserved the Old Testament as well as the Hebrew Calendar that God gave them in the Torah (First five books of the Bible).

The tribe of Judah prevailed above his brothers due to an event written in Numbers 1:2-3 and 27 during Moses leadership where Judah was the leading tribe in population as well as strong men who could go to war hence ‘prevailing over his brothers.

‘JUDAH GOES FIRST’

Soon after Joshua’s death, God choose the tribe of Judah to lead the rest of the tribes in the conquering of the Promise Land. The tribe of Judah demonstrated their aggressive willingness and strong determination to drive out the Canaanites and take possession of the southern part of the land of Canaan. Furthermore, Judah prevailed over his brothers during a most famous descendant born to through the line of Judah named David. King David set the stage for the temple to be built on Mount Zion (Jerusalem) as Psalms 78:67-70 tells us; “67- Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: 68- But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. 69- And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established forever. 70- He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:”. King David was also chosen by God to hold the ‘scepter’, representing and a symbolisms that the kingship would always remain with the tribe of Judah according to Genesis 49:10 and Psalms 89: 34-37.

Other Important Points

Judah’s blessing from Moses on the 1st month of Nissan – Deuteronomy 33:7

Judah became God’s sanctuary – Psalms 114

Symbol is the lion – Yeshua is the Lion of Judah - When Israel marched through the wilderness, Judah always went first. This is the first month, and this is Judah’s month.

The name ‘Jews’ comes from the Kingdom and tribe of Judah

Judah come from the Hebrew word ‘YADAH’ meaning ‘to praise’, to ‘give thanks’, ‘to glorify’ or to ‘acknowledge God’

Yadah, in turn, comes from the Hebrew word Yad, which means, “hand” Yadah originally meant, “to extend the hand” The picture is an act of praising and worshipping God with the lifting of hands

Judah depicts an expression of praise

The hand symbolizes strength and power

When we lift our hands to the Lord, we are presenting to Him all of our strength and abilities (we are putting ourselves totally in His hands)

Month of Thanking God for His Deliverance

Tribe: Judah

Judah means PRAISE

The apostolic leadership, warring tribe, who knew

How to operate with sound

This is a key time to PRAISE!!! (Judah Goes First)

The month of thanking God for deliverance

Time of Spring When Kings Go Out to War

(2 Samuel 10) Even in a season of peace, you must discern what could encroach on your boundaries and contend for what is rightfully yours.

This is a season when you war for you covenant promises.

DO NOT HESITATE to release a sound of praise that will break you into a dimension of victory and wholeness.

Declare by faith, the power of Jesus blood has set you free.

Your path of healing and miracles are now before you!

Judah is the king (the "first") of the tribes of Israel. His name means to give thanks, in speech (the sense of Nissan). The king rules his people by the power of his speech. The month of Nissan is "the new year for kings".

Judah ‘Arah’ lion - shows great strength; ‘hand will be in the neck of your enemies.’ God has given you power over all that the enemy brings against you. When you come into maturity ‘Lebaowth’ characteristics of greatness will be seen. You remain sitting and observing quietly, while the young race about wildly in anxiety and confusion.

Tribe of Judah – Gemstone –Emerald

Emerald is green in color. It means to glisten and shine. Emerald is symbolic of immortality. The eternal royalty of the house of David, which is fulfilled in Yeshua, Jesus. The Tribe of Judah developed through much suffering and enduring hard trials and testing’s as seen in Genesis 38. It takes a lifetime to make a saint and it takes a lifetime to perfect this tribe to bring him into the likeness of Jesus Christ. Judah the gemstone of priesthood and royalty.

Yeshua the Messiah – THE LION OF JUDAH

And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.

[36]Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

[37]Yashaya said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

[38]This is the first and great commandment.

[39]And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

[40]On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

CONFIRMED IN (ZECHARIAH 8:16-17):

YISRAEL, THOU SHALT NOT IMAGINE NO EVIL AGAINST THY NEIGHBOUR AND THOU SHALT EXECUTE RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT IN THE LAND, AMEN:

[16]These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:

[17]And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD.

PROVERBS 3:29-30

[29]Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

[30]Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

[2]And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.

[3]Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

[4]And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.

[5]And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

MFM Daily Devotional 3rd January 2024 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – A Faithful Worshipper

MFM Daily Devotional - A Faithful Worshipper

The Topic of Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional for 3rd January 2024 Is ”A Faithful Worshipper”  

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 7, Genesis 8, Genesis 9, Matthew 7, Matthew 8, Matthew 9 FIRE SCRIPTURE: Luke 2:36-40 (KJV) 36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; 37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. 38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem. 39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. 40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. MEMORY VERSE: “And David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.” – 2 Samuel 6:14 (KJV) MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: To gather with God’s people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer. PRAISE AND WORSHIP: Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit. PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY Today, I Usher You Into the Highly Blessed and Glorious Life of A Faithful Worshipper, in The Name of Jesus.

MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 3RD JANUARY 2024

Dearly beloved, your greatest goal this year should be to become a faithful worshipper – one who worships the Lord genuinely from his or her heart and in conformity with the Scripture. The following are the hallmarks of a faithful worshipper: He or she (1) worships the Lord in spirit and in truth – John 4:24 (2) has a sincere, honest, loyal and fully committed heart – Psalm 119:128 (3) has unshakable faith – Romans 5:9 (4) has a purified heart – 1 John 3:21, Romans 8:1 (5) is consecrated, that is, his or her body is set apart for God – 1 Corinthians 6:12. Our Fire Scripture for today reveals so much about a faithful worshipper called Prophetess Anna. She was eighty-four years old and had been widowed after just seven years of marriage. The Bible affirms that she never left the temple but worshipped there day and night, serving God with fastings and prayers. She did not allow her old age and being plunged into early widowhood to hinder or deter her from worshipping God wholeheartedly and consistently. Faithful worshippers of God do not look at natural circumstances. They worship Him at all times and in all circumstances. Prophetess Anna’s commitment to a life of true worship of Jehovah did not go in vain. She was given the miracle of open eyes and she saw that the child being presented in the temple was Christ. David is another example of a faithful worshipper. When he heard the news of how God had blessed Obed-Edom’s household because the ark of the Lord’s presence was there, his initial fear was allayed and turned to jubilation. He decided to bring the ark to Jerusalem. The parade from Obed-Edom’s house to the City of David was devoted to the adoration and worship of Jehovah. David stopped after six steps and offered worship with sacrifices and shouts of praise, music and dancing. This royal worship is worthy of our emulation. King David discarded his royal apparel and wore an ephod to enable him worship His highly faithful God unhindered. The Bible says that David danced with all his might (2 Samuel 6:14). He and all God’s people worshipped God on the road. Beloved, I encourage you to make it a habit to immerse yourself in the worship of your faithful God and Maker.

MFM DAILY PRAYER POINTS 3RD JANUARY 2024

FRESH MANNA

GENEROSITY

1 John 3:17

The keyword in the text verse is “ seeth”, meaning that we must see generosity as a necessary part of our Christian walk.

Seeth, from the KJV version, means to keep seeing, continuously presented to us, a need that Godly generosity warrants us to meet.

Generosity according to Wikipedia is the virtue of being liberal in giving.

But what does the Bible say about generosity?

The Bible encourages us to be generous and kind to others as our generosity will be returned to us by God. Proverbs 11:24 states "One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want." It is righteous to practice generosity with our family, friends, and community as scripture inspires. Not only do we gain favour with God by being voluntarily generous, but we also produce goodwill of benevolence and compassion in society.

Galatians 6:2 says to share each other's burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. Life’s hardships and burdens are heavyweight, whether literal or figurative and are too hard to endure alone. Everyone needs someone!

Every one of us experiences human frailties and according to God’s command, we must help each other as needed.

Hebrews 13:16 commands us not to forget to be good and share each other’s burden, He says it pleases Him.

The Lord is always generous to us all, we, in turn, must learn to be generous to people around us in all capacity and sacrificially, not only when it suits us, is easy for and pleases us or when we have more than enough to spare.

Giving out our spare is not sacrificial giving and truly not from a generous spirit. This is a comfortable and convenient generosity.

Proverbs 19:17 should encourage us to be generous as it says we lend to the Lord when we are generous to the poor and needy. God cares for everyone including the poor, even if others do not. So when we are generous to the poor in giving, it’s like lending to the Lord and God will honour this debt by repaying us for our good deeds.

God’s generosity is evidenced all around us. God created the world and provided for our needs and pleasures. He supplies us with everything to satisfy us. God even demonstrated His generosity in offering His Son as a sacrifice for our sins.

To such gracious generosity, we can only say, “Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” according to 2 Corinthians 9:15.

The gift of Jesus to sinful mankind was the ultimate act of generosity.

How generous are you?

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” says Luke 6:38. This is God’s challenge to us, to be generous because He wants us to receive the blessing that comes from generosity.

Sadly, so many expect God to answer their cry and prayers when they have shut their ears to the cry of others. Proverbs 21:13 says what goes around comes around, at least for the one who shuts his ears and refuses to respond to the cry of the poor. When his time of need comes and it will surely come, his cries for help will receive no response as well.

Nobody should expect pity if and when they don’t have pity; why should they? Worse still, God Himself will not respond according to Matthew 6:1-4.

The Lord is looking for people who will reflect His character and model His generosity. He delights to bless them and show Himself strong on their behalf. In 2 Corinthians 9:6–15, Paul exhorts the church to be generous in their giving to the Lord’s work. And he praises the Philippians for being so generous to him, adding that it is not for himself that he rejoices but for them—they will be blessed because of their gift in Philippians 4:17. We are to show generosity even to our enemies, for our reward will come from the Lord, in His way and in His time.

PRAYER: gracious and generous God, help me to express your character and image by being generous and good to those in need in Jesus’ name. Amen.

WOMEN OF LIGHT INT. PRAYER MIN.

[childofchrist1983]

Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. - Matthew 21:33-35 KJV

But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? - Matthew 21:38-40 KJV

Jesus let the chief priests and Pharisees understand that He was speaking about Himself, and them. God gave the promise to the Israelites, and they rebelled at every turn. He had given them the Law so that they would understand what was required of them and when they turned away, He sent the prophets. Time and time again, they ignored them and often killed them. And now, Father God Almighty - the Lord of the Vineyard - has sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Do they listen to Him? No! Their reaction to Jesus will be the same as to the prophets. They will have Him rejected, beaten and crucified. What they don't realize is that this will only be the beginning of the His reign. Jesus will rise from the dead and the world will never be the same. Because the Jews rejected Jesus as the Messiah, the Apostles turned to the Gentiles who were welcoming of this new Way of believing. This parable did not influence the chief priest and the Pharisees to change their minds about Jesus; it made them angry and more determined to kill Him.

How do we feel when friends or family call us on our actions which may not be how we are called to live? If we are not always truthful, do we admit to it and try to change? Or does it make us angry and possibly walk away from friends or relatives? It's often the child who is most like ourselves that we have problems with, because we see in them what we don't always like in ourselves and it bothers us. Most of us do not like to be reminded of our faults! But just like the chief priests and the Pharisees, we too need to be called to account for our actions so that we can repent, ask for forgiveness, and return to the open arms of God. He wants all of His creation and children to be home with Him in the Kingdom of Heaven. May He remind us often of our sins, so that we won't stray from Him and the path He has chosen for us.

Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven (John 3:5, 14:6), the only way to salvation (Acts 4:12, Ephesians 2:8-9) and He is resurrection and the life (John 11:25-26). As true and born-again Christians, we believe in Him and His Holy Word. We know though our mortal bodies should die, He will raise us up and into new and glorious bodies (The Rapture). We who are truly His and alive at His second coming will never die, and our bodies will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and so shall we ever be with Him in His Kingdom of Heaven forevermore (1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). This is one of many promises given to us by God Himself. Thank God for His strength and guidance when we are faced with sin and temptation. Thank Him for His mercy and grace. Through Bible study and prayer, God reveals His wisdom and guides us to see opportunities to grow closer to Him and grow spiritually. He gives us direction to live our lives according to His Holy Word and will. We must make God top priority everyday! May we be motivated to spread God's Holy Word and Gospel Truth to all the Earth, knowing that it is the only hope of all those lost in their sins. Let us not hold out a false hope for men to be saved without the Gospel, but instead, strive to do our part to get the Gospel out to a lost and dying world.

Leaning on Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ through prayer and His Holy Word and Spirit strengthens us and our knowledge and wisdom about God and His Gospel Truth, exposing these imposters. May God help us to seek and lean on Him daily to gain the strength, wisdom and spiritual discernment needed to expose Satan and his imposters who seek to destroy us and God's ultimate Truth. Everyday, we must remember to share Jesus Christ's Gospel Truth with the world and to thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for the grace that He poured out for us on the cross at Calvary. He has freed us from the burdens of sin and from the eternal damnation of Hell. In all we say and do, may all praise, honor and glory always be given to Him and His Kingdom of Heaven.

With renewed minds, hearts and wills, let us serve Him humbly and faithfully out of pure love and grateful rejoicing. May He remind us of His presence and to remain at peace, fully knowing that all will be well because He is always with us. Let us seek Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ today and everyday with all our heart and being, looking for His love, light and will for our lives with each step we take. Let us seek to please Him with our thoughts, words, and deeds and seek to advance His Kingdom of Heaven and His glory with our lives. Let us seek Him from a pure and humble heart, and when we so seek, we believe Him and His promise that we will find. May He help us all to be more sensitive to the teaching ministry of His Holy Word and Spirit, relying on Him and allowing Him to speak to us and guide us every step of our Christian journey.

God gave us the Holy Bible - His living and Holy Word - to let us know of Him and His abiding love and care as well as guide and prepare us for all our lives. May He help us encourage one another as we continue our walk with Him and our duty to Him daily. Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for being present for all our new beginnings and all our lives. May He redirect any anxiety we feel as He provides countless opportunities for growth and change. May we humble ourselves before God always, asking Him to forgive our sins and make our hearts and lives anew through His Holy Word and Spirit. May He help us make Him and His Holy Word top priority, so we can grow spiritually and grow in our relationship with Him as we apply it to our daily lives. Thank God that we can focus on Him and everything about Him, for that is what keeps us sane and at peace. May our words and actions always be a reflection of Him and His Holy Word and Spirit and will.

May He help us to always walk in His grace and Holy Spirit, not by our own measure. May He give us the humble humility to know that our freedom and eternal salvation is found only in Him, so that His grace may sustain us, and we may never lose sight of His love and light and mercy. Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for calling us to Him and to serve Him. May He equip us to do all that He has called us to do so that as He works through us, He may use us to produce fruit, to reach others, and to encourage all brothers and sisters in Christ. May He work all of these things in us and through us for His Kingdom and His glory. Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for all His creation, for His miraculous ways and for everything He does and has done for us! Keep the faith and keep moving forward in your walk with Jesus! He loves us and He knows what is best for us. Seek, follow and trust in Him - Always!

Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for His Holy Word and for sending His Holy Spirit so that we might have His grace, not only to awaken us and transform our hearts in our spiritual rebirth and guarantee our eternity with Him, but to also call upon Him whenever we are in need. Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for all the reminders of His love and mercy and faithfulness within His Holy Word. He is bigger than any challenge or circumstance in our lives. Knowing this within our minds and our hearts, nothing can deter our faith in Him and His Truth. May we all accept Him and His eternal gift of salvation and ask that He would transform our hearts and lives according to His will and ways. Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for His Holy Spirit who saves, seals and leads us. May we always thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for His almighty power and saving grace. For He is our strength, and He alone is able to save us, forgive our sins and gift us eternal salvation and entry into His Kingdom of Heaven.

May we make sure that we give our hearts and lives to God and take time to seek and praise Him and share His Truth with the world daily. May the LORD our God and Father in Heaven help us to stay diligent and obedient and help us to guard our hearts in Him and His Holy Word daily. May He help us to remain faithful and full of excitement to do our duty to Him and for His glorious return and our reunion in Heaven as well as all that awaits us there. May we never forget to thank the LORD our God and our Creator and Father in Heaven for all this and everything He does and has done for us! May we never forget who He is, nor forget who we are in Christ and that God is always with us! What a mighty God we serve! What a Savior this is! What a wonderful LORD, God, Savior and King we have in Jesus Christ! What a loving Father we have found in Almighty God! What a wonderful God we serve! His will be done!

Thanks and glory be to God! Blessed be the name of the LORD! Hallelujah and Amen!

Why Do You Hide Yourself?

1 Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.

4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.

9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

12 Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

16 The Lord is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

17 Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress. — Psalm 10 | King James Version (KJV) The King James Version Bible is in the public domain.

Proverbs: God's Wisdom for Daily Living

Devotional Scripture:

Proverbs 13:25(KJV): 25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.

Thought for the Day

Jesus taught us to pray for our daily bread (Mathew 6:9-13). He promises that those who obey Him will not lack food, and neither will their children (Psalm 37:25-26). God keeps this promise even by going to extreme and supernatural measures to do so. When the prophet Elijah hid by a brook from the evil king Ahab, God provided for him by causing ravens to bring him food every day (1 King 17:2-6). On two separate occasions, Jesus multiplied a very small amount of food to feed huge crowds. The first time, He multiplied five loaves of bread and two fish to feed a crowd of over 5,000 that had been with Him all day (Matthew 14; Mark 6; Luke 9; John 6). The second time, a crowd of over 4,000 stayed with Jesus for three days while He healed their sick and taught them. Concerned lest they faint on the way home, He multiplied seven loaves of bread and a few fish. As before, the entire crowd was filled (Matthew 15:32-38 and Mark 8:1-9).

These accounts of God's miraculous provision show His love. His miracles have continued throughout history. My husband and I have personally experienced His provision: Several times we had a large crowd, but not enough food. Each time, He honored our prayers and multiplied our food so that everyone could eat. We have also heard testimonies of God's provision from others. Here are two of them:

A missionary in South America ran out of provisions when funds from her homeland did not arrive on time. She and her daughter came to the last of their food and cried out to God. The next day, a plant sprang up in their backyard and to their amazement, the same day bore full-grown squash. They ate squash for three days, and then the plant wilted and died. That evening, the missionary's landlord came to her door with several sacks of food he thought she needed. He said that God had been speaking to him to bring them for the three previous days! The food he gave her lasted until her support came from home.

Another amazing account of God's provision was given by a Chinese Christian and it occurred many years ago. A group of Christians who were meeting secretly to study God's Word were discovered by the authorities. They were forced to go hungry for many days. In their hunger, they sought the Lord for food. As they stood praying, they suddenly began to testify to one another that they felt like they had just sat down and finished a full meal. None were hungry. The Lord supernaturally sustained them until provision came.

Experiencing God's faithfulness strengthens our faith! He does not want us to worry about where the necessities of life will come from. He promises that if we seek His kingdom and His righteousness first, He will provide everything we need (Matthew 6:31-33).

Prayer Devotional for the Day

Dear heavenly Father, thank you for Your promise of daily provision. You have always been so faithful to supply all of our needs. Lord, help us to be sensitive to the needs of others, and share with them the things that You have blessed us with. Lord, help us not to forget the poor and the hungry, just because we have plenty of food. We pray for the people in the countries of the world who are suffering from famine and war. Lord, send the food and help needed to keep them alive so that they might find eternal life through Christ if they do not know You. Move on the hearts of Your people to send assistance or go and help. Help Your people to reach out to the world with the help and the Word of the Lord so they will come to know You and Your love. I ask in the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

Every frustration is a test of our faith, love and obedience to God and his word. Trust God's perfect will, word and timing. God is always in love with you. 🙏 Here are some reasons why Christians suffer...

Philippians 1:29 KJV

"For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;"

Job 1:8 KJV

"And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?"

Job 1:21 KJV

"And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."

Job 2:9-10 KJV

"Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die." "But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips."

Luke 22:31-32 KJV

"And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:"

"But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren."

Matthew 10:37-38 KJV

"He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." "And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me."

Notes from the movie: American Gospel Christ Alone - It's Amazing & important

Matthew 10:37, Job 1:8, 1:21, 2:9-10, Luke 22:31, Philippians 1:29

• Only God is good. Jesus was perfect and obedient to God the Father, yet suffered.

• God tests our faith, obedience and love.

• Faith put Job into his suffering.

• Job suffered because everything was going right in his life.

God has purposes in our suffering

• to humble us

• to conform us into the image of Christ

• to wean us off of the world

• to purify us

• to help us identify with other people who are suffering

God always hears your prayers. Have complete faith in him and his promises. Always pray in Jesus' name and God will answer your prayer if it's what is best for you, according to his perfect holy will.

Please share this with your friends and family and on social media. 🙏
