God has provided everything you have. When you needed salvation, He gave it to you freely. When you were desperate for His help and comfort, He sent it to you without reservation. It is always His desire that as you receive His compassion and encouragement, they will transform you and you will grow in His character. You will become kindhearted and giving because of your love and gratitude to the Lord. Do we give freely, reflecting God's character and providing to others? God is generous and loving and He wants  His people to be so as well. So, today, be His representative and care for those in need just as He would. Meditate on Psalm 41.

Day 183 - What Pleases Jesus Matters Read: Psalm 141; Proverbs 6:12-15; Revelation 2; 2 Samuel 7-8 “Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭2:20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ http://bible.us/114/rev.2.20.nkjv I have the privilege to complete two modules of MBA course in Oxford University recently. What impressed me most is the history of this great prestigious University. John and Charles Wesley's prayer meetings held there laid the foundations of the Methodist Church today. The way of teaching is based on the Disputations which was started 600 years ago in the Divinity School where 2 Professors would present their cases to determine who would be more persuasive. Hence, every student In Oxford is expected weekly to prepare 2500 words of essay whereby the lecturer will debate with the students and challenge his...

Day 37: Psalm 17, Proverbs 22:7-8, Acts 17, Zechariah 3-4 Engage With People ..for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. Acts 17:28-29 NKJV In reading Acts 17, we will not miss the long discourse that Apostle Paul gave to the philosophers at Athens. 1st, he related with the philosophers by identifying something that Apsotle Paul could start a conversation in spiritual things. He identified that the philosophers prayed to an unknown God and what is unknown to them, Paul enlightened them. 2ndly, Paul referred to their own poets' saying. 3rdly, he persuaded them to return to the truth by reasoning with them that if they were the offspring of God, they ought not pray to gold, silver or stone. Once these are effectively communicated to...

Day 131 - Be Open to God Read: Psalm 109;  Proverbs 31:19-21; 1 Thessalonians 5; Deuteronomy 15-16 Psalm 109 “Help me, O LORD my God! Oh, save me according to Your mercy, That they may know that this is Your hand— That You, LORD, have done it! Let them curse, but You bless; When they arise, let them be ashamed, But let Your servant rejoice. Let my accusers be clothed with shame, And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle. I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; Yes, I will praise Him among the multitude.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭109:26-30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ http://bible.com/114/psa.109.26-30.nkjv What a comfort to know that the Psalmist in the BIble prayed such a prayer as in Psalm 109. He was open to God and uttered his heart’s contents to God. I am sure all of us have gone through seasons of dryness where people seems to accuse us without justification and how we were victimised for no apparent reasons. Or we are so frustrated to see injustices being ro...
