DON'T ENTERTAIN SIN TO FALL

Scripture Readings: 1 Corinthians 6:18 & Hebrews 12:1.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, Hebrews 12.1 NIVUK

A visionary athlete or musician who knows what s/he is about desist from certain practices that could endanger his/her vision. Athletes desist from eating hot peppered food, drinking alcohol and smoking to maintain a healthy heart and the musician desist from continuously drinking chilled water and eating some forms of food to maintain a great voice. The same thing applies to us believers; we ought not to entertain sin or things that easily lead us to sin.

Why surround yourself with so many friends of the opposite sex when you know you easily build lust and evil thoughts as a result of their presence? Why do you always want to be in charge of finance when you know, you're not good at keeping money and can easily embezzle funds? You know engaging in certain acts always lead you to sin yet you continue to engage in them, some friends make you do unacceptable things yet you enjoy their company etc. Let's not entertain anything that makes us sin but flee from them knowing what our final vision is; thus to make it to heaven, our destination.

Prayer Starter: Dear Lord God Almighty I come to You today with a heart ready to follow Your will and desist from things that easily entangle me to sin against You. Help me Holy Spirit in my life in order not to entertain sin in Jesus Christ's name.

BELIEVE TO RECEIVE

Scripture Readings: Mark 11:22-24 and Matthew 18:18-19.

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:24 NIV

We don't know the manufacturing processes before medicines come out for us to buy from the pharmacy with doctor's prescription but we believe the potency of the medicine. We believe that if we put an address into a SATNAV or Google map, it'll give us direction to our destinations without difficulties. Is it the same thing when we want something from God?

We are always praying but often we are full of doubts. We say "this is impossible", "God is able in all things but this situation is exceptional", "I believe in the power of God to do all things but ..." etc. How can we have so strong a faith in natural things but doubt the ability of the supernatural God who's also Omnipotent? If we will not doubt but always believe that God will answer our prayers taking the necessarysteps and actions, then He'll see to the accomplishment of our prayers. Remember that you shall decree a thing and it shall be established. Never doubt the capability of God if you don't even doubt the potency of medicine. In God believing is seeing but in the world seeing is believing. But we're are not of the world.

Prayer Starter: Dear Lord God Almighty thank You for Your Word today. I sometimes allow doubt to take the best of me after praying to You but today I choose to hold on to Your Word to see to the accomplishment of my prayers. I don't have to see before believing but I believe You to do and accomplish all things in Jesus Christ's name.

REFUSE BITTERNESS

Scripture Reading: Ephesians 4:29-31.

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Ephesians 4:31 NIV

Bitterness is an extremely destructive force that can destroy an entire community, family or nation. It seeps into the depths of your heart and emotions when you choose not to forgive someone. When you harbour unforgiveness, it closes the door to God’s power working in your life and hinder the manifestation of God's purpose in you. Bitterness is strong hindrance to prayers since it broods unforgiveness. Unforgiveness is the single most popular poison that the enemy uses against God's people, and it is one of the deadliest poisons a person can take spiritually. Thank God that He has empowered us to forgive and release bitterness! You can make the choice to get rid of bitterness so you can live in freedom!

You may have been through unfair situations in your life, been wronged many times but don't harbour bitterness to hinder you from receiving greatness from God. Bitterness doesn't make our lives any better but worsens it. So why worsen it when you can make it better by forgiving and allowing God the Righteous Judge to take His cause? God always has the final say, and He is a God of justice. God sees every wrong that’s ever been done to you. He sees every unfair situation, unfair services rendered to you. If you will stay in faith, He’ll bring justice into your life. Your attitude should be, “It may have been unfair. They may have done me wrong, they have taken my calmness as being foolish but I refuse to get bitter. Eschew every iota of bitterness and let God take His csuse.

Prayer Starter: Thank You God for Your love and unforgiving heart. Today I pray that you'll empower me to forgive my offenders and eschew all bitterness in Jesus Christ's name.

PAYING EVIL WITH GOOD

Scripture Readings: 1 Thessalonians 5:15, Matthew 5:44-45 and 1 Corinthians 13

Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else. 1 Thessalonians 5:15 NIV

No matter how painful and hurtful we may be treated by man; with the extreme ones coming from close people; be it family, spouse or best friends, we should be mindful not to reciprocate their evil actions or harsh treatment but continue to seek and do good for them. It may seem a very hard thing to do but Christ died to bring redemption to those who accused, betrayed, spat, tarnished His name and crucified Him. He commands us to even pray for our enemies.

Seeking the welfare and well-being of the one who have hurt you can be in the form of prayers, lending a helping hand when needed and continuously blessing him/her with positive words. In so doing you get rid of Satan's bait, living free from his deadly trap of offence which creates bitterness and can be a hindrance to prayers. Once again let's continuously seek to do good to those who hurt us without thinking about the pain but doing it as a command from God. May God strengthen us to be able to carry out this humanly difficult task through power of the Holy Spirit.

Prayer Starter: Lord I'm grateful for Your Word that brings enlightenment. Love covers all things and development as well as unity can't come without love. Help me to forgive and love those who hurt me in Jesus Christ name.

THE MOTHERLY LOVE OF GOD

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 49:14-20, 66:13.

As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”Isaiah 66:13 NIV

An experience and understanding of a mother's love greatly explains how awesome God's love is. How He cares about and for His children with compassion is unimaginable and incomprehensible. How hard is it for a nursing mother to forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion for the baby? A mother in all honesty comforts her child providing every need of the child at her expense and my mum at my younger age used to say "it's better for me (her) to go hungry so that you eat". The greatest mother of all time is indeed God.

In all aspects of our Christian life He demonstrates motherly love and even when we knowingly or unknowingly fall He draws us to His love for us to continuously enjoy His grace, mercy and favour. God's love goes beyond the love of a mother hence Him giving up on His only begotten son for our salvation. He takes us back when we fall and realise our faults and confess to Him. His love surpasses human nature and is the only mother who truly knows and understands everything we go through. He knows your end even before your beginning. Come on board to experience the motherly love of God that has been made available for all that seeks real love. Have a great Sunday enjoying the motherly love of God.

Prayer Starter: Everlasting God I bless Your name for the continuous motherly love shown me. Dear Lord Your love is amazing and it's my fervent prayers that I continue to remain in You to enjoy the love that You alone exhibits in Jesus Christ's name.
