A Yearning For God

Psalm 42----Yearning For God

As water is essential to our physical well being,
So is the word of God essential to our spiritual well being.

Depression:

Depression is one of the most common emotional ailments, but, we know that we have a cure for depression and that's the recorded word of God's goodness to His people. this will take our minds off our present situation and give us hope that it will improve. It would focus our thoughts on the ability of God to help us rather than in our own ability to help our-self. Today if you are depressed, take advantage on this psalm's antidepressant. Read the bible's account of God's goodness and meditate on them.

 

Panting After The Water Brook 

Water is very essential for our physical life, In the same sense the words of God and His presence are essential for the very satisfaction and wholeness of our life.As believing children of God, we are suppose to huger and thirst after God and His grace, His blessings and His supernatural activity in our life.Once we stop thirsting for God we would die spiritually, so we should not allow any thing to come between us and our desire and the things of God.We must be careful for the cares of life, and for the things of this world or the pursuit of earthly things,we should not allow the pleasures of the world to choke out our hunger and thirsts for God and His righteousness or the desire to seek His face in prayer. We must continue to pray and long for the power and the presence of God to strengthen us , and our love for a fuller manifestation of God's holy spirit becoming greater in us. 

 Let Thy Kingdom come!

 Let us have that passion to see the fullness of Christ's kingdom and righteousness deepens in us,so we may be able to cry out to Him day and night in heartfelt thirst even as the dear searches for the water brooks in the time of drought, so that we may have this spiritual stream welling up inside of us.When we thirst for God and long for a greater manifestation of His presence,we may still experience some delays yet, if we are true and faithful,we will continue to thirst and seek after God .God  promises that if we hunger and thirst after His kingdom and His righteousness, and do not settle for less than His blessings, he will surely bless us.

In the midst of God silence we must continue to press on to know God, so that one day we will be able to experience a greater measure of His holy spirit presence in our life. We cannot become dispair, so we must put our hope in Him,trusting always in His steadfast love.

The Power Of Praise!

Let the whole creation praise the Lord. (Psalm 148:5)

What part of creation praise God? Every thing, the whole heaven and earth praise God.

What are some things on earth give praise to God? Rivers, trees flowers, animals seas etc.

What are some other things in creation praise God? The moon and stars, sun, rain, snow,wind and hale.

How does creation praise God? in all essence some of creation do not have a voice like we do to be heard, yet, the bible says, their voice goes out through all the earth.

Psalm 96:12 fields being jubilant and trees singing.
Psalm 98:8  Rivers clapping their hands and mountains sing, (V7) the seas resound with praise.

  
Why does creation praise God? In the book of Psalm we can find reasons why all created beings must praise God.

God made us and them, creation is a master piece of amazing designs, artistic beauty, majestic power and intricate complexity and that is why God creation have to be a major source of praise.

God provide for them and us: It is God's desire that all created things and beings should have enough and to receive good things.

God love them and us: (John 3:16

A prayer of Praise
Praise be to You oh Lord,the God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.
Yours oh Lord is the greatness and the power and the glory,the majesty and the splendor;
for every thing in heaven and earth is yours.

Yours oh Lord is the kingdom, You are exalted as head over all
wealth and hone comes from You, You are the ruler of all things.
In You hands are strength and power, to exalt and give strength to all
now our God we give you thanks, and praise Your glorious name.

May God be exalted

You are so faithful. Please lead us in the way we should go, open those doors that You want us to walk through and close those doors that does not lead to Your will for our life. Help us to remain positive in a negative world and to encourage ourselves when others don't. Thank You for You patience, thank You for Your love, In Jesus' name, Amen!

Best Interest- My Shepherd

Why is God My Best Interest?

He is my Shepherd 

And He promise to fulfill all our needs according to His riches in glory!

 He lets me rest in green meadows; He leads me beside peaceful streams.

He renews my strength, He guides me along right paths bringing honor to His name. (Psalm 23:2-3)

 

Best Interest.. 

When we allow God who is the Shepherd of our life to guide us, we have contentment. But if we choose to have sin in our life, therefore, we are choosing to go our own way and so we cannot put the blame on God for our own doing and the environment in which we find ourselves.Because our Shepherd knows the green meadows and peaceful streams that will renew us.Only by following Him in total obedience we will be able to reach those places.So when we rebel against the Shepherd's leading is rebelling against our own best interest for our future.We must remember this the next time we are tempted to go our own way, rather than the way of the Shepherd.

Draw me close to you

 Father I prayer That we your people will see you as our best interest, Help us Lord to see You as our Shepherd,and in You we have every thing we need.We thank You Lord for leading us through green meadows and peaceful streams,we thank you for renewing our strength, guiding us in the right path and bringing honor to Your Holy name. Forgive for all our short comings and for straying from the path that You has set before us. help us to keep our eyes and heart upon You from where our help comes. In Jesus name Amen!!

May the peace and the blessing of God be with you always!

God Can Restore

God still Offers Forgiveness

In (Hosea 14), God call Israel to return to Him in spite of their sins. He wanted them to bring there petitions to Him, to forgive their sins and to graciously receive them so that they will be able to offer to God their sacrifice of praise. (Verses 3-9), says; Assyria cannot save us, nor can our strength in battle. Never again will we called the idols we have made our gods. No, in You alone do the orphans find mercy. The Lord says. " then I will heal you of your idolatry and faithlessness, and my love will know no bounds, for my anger will be gone for ever!

I will be to Israel like a refreshing dew from heaven.It will blossom like the lily; it will send roots deep into the soil like the cedars in Lebanon. Its branches will spread out like those of beautiful olive trees,as fragrant as the cedar forests of Lebanon. My people will return again to the safety of their land. They will florist like grains and blossom like grapevines. They will be as fragrant as the wine of Lebanon.

"Oh Israel,  stay away from idols! I am the one who looks after you and cares for you. I am like a tree that is always green, giving my fruit to you all through the year."

Let those who are wise understand these things.Let those who are discerning listen carefully. The paths of the Lord are true and right, and righteous people live by walking in them. but sinners stumble and fall along the way.

Restored!

The people could return to God by asking Him  to take away their sins, the same is true for us today: We can prayer the prayer of Hosea and know our sins are forgiven because Christ pay the penalty for them on the cross.(John 3:16). Forgiveness begins we we can see the destructiveness of our sins and the futility of life with God. then we will be able to admit that we cannot save ourselves; and our only hope is in the mercy of a loving God. though we do not deserve forgiveness and therefore cannot demand it, we can and must appeal for God's love and His mercy. And we can be confident we will receive His forgiveness because He is gracious and loving and want to restore us to himself, just as He wanted to restore Israel.

Never Failing....

When our will is weak, when our reason is confused, when our conscience is burdened with a load of guilt, we must remember that God promises forgiveness and boundless love. When friends and family desert us, when we are tired of being good, God's love knows no bounds.When we can't see the way or hear God's voice, when we lack courage to go on, when our short comings or an awareness of our sins overwhelms us, God's love knows no bounds.Regardless of how things seems are even how we may feel, we have to rely on the truth of God: for His love knows no bounds.

All we need to do is to give in to the voice of God, let go and let Him have His way with us.
Experience God

Obedience

Obedience to God

Do not forget God; "Be careful to obey all the commands I am giving you today.Then you will live and multiply, and you will enter and occupy the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors." (Deuteronomy 8:1)

{Deuteronomy 8: 1} Tells us to obey God's commands. We do this by obeying God with.....

1. Our heart; By loving Him more than any relationship.activity,achievement or possession.
2. Our will; By committing ourselves completely to Him.
3. Our Mind; By seeking to know Him and His words.So His principles and values from the foundation of all we think and do.
4. Our Body; By recognizing that our strength, talents and sexuality are given to us by God to be used for pleasures and fulfillment according to His rules, not ours.
5. Our finances; By deciding that all of the resources we have ultimately comes from God, and that we are to be managers of them and not owners.
6. Our future;By deciding to make service to God and people the main purpose of our life work.

Our obedience to God is essential to our soul salvation, we must stay connected to God through His words. Through studying,meditating, commitment,love and faithfulness. The only way we are truly living is to allow God to be in full control of our every circumstances

Our prayer:
Father today I ask that you take over my life, Help me Lord to trulu surrender my life to you infull obedience,
Lord ere I am, please take my heart, my will,my mind, my body,my finances and my future. All that You have given me Lord I give back to You. Lord I am willing to follow your commandments give me strength Lord to be obedient to your will , in Jesus name , Amen!!
