Day 188 - Remember the Reason for the Season! Psalm 146; Proverbs 6:32-35; Revelation 7; 2 Samuel 17-18 Revelation 7:10-12 “and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.”” Prior to Christmas, we may be busy shopping or cooking or attending functions here and there. Do we pause and reflect the reason for the season? Yes, Jesus is the reason! We hear that “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb.” Why Lamb? In order to be saved to go to heaven, a place where there shall be no sins, no misery and no more pain and sufferings, the people who are in heaven need to be purged of sins. Hence, a lamb needs to be sacrificed. Jes...

Day 187 - Have Fear of God Read: Psalm 145; Proverbs 6:28-31; Revelation 6; 2 Samuel 15-16 2 Samuel 15 & 16 15:13 A messenger came and told David, “The hearts of the people of Israel are with Absalom.”14 Then David said to all his officials who were with him in Jerusalem, “Come! We must flee, or none of us will escape from Absalom. We must leave immediately, or he will move quickly to overtake us and bring ruin on us and put the city to the sword.” To me, as a parent, it is so sad to note that King David got to run for his life from his own son, Absalom. His own son schemed for 40 years (15:7) to topple his own father - could you believe that? This is our Bible - it will not hide - all the successes and failures of God's people are truthfully reported. Why did King David suffer this? It started with his own sin of adultery with Bathsheba (11:3) Even though God had forgiven him when he sincerely repented by recognising that he sinned against the Lord (12:13), King David nee...

Day 186 - Blessed Thanksgiving Day Read: Psalm 144; Proverbs 6:25-27; Revelation 5; 2 Samuel 13-14 Thanksgiving Day is on the 4th Thursday of November and which is TODAY! In Revelation 5:10, it is stated that God has made us kings and priests to our God and we shall reign on the earth. What a good news! What a privilege! What a Thanksgiving item! It means we are to rule and judge with righteousness and with equality together with the King of kings and the Lord of lords. It means we are priests who will hear God and be the mouthpiece for God. What a future to look forward to! O! What is man that You take knowledge of him and mindful of him (Psalm 144:3) Let us stop and ponder of all the wonderful and amazing things that God has given you and be thankful and say a Thanskgiving Prayer to God today. Dear Almighty God and Beloved Jesus,  I am so grateful to You for just what I have - right now, as I am sitting here to do my Quiet Time, I could hear the sound of waterfall, the sound o...

Day 185 - Prayers: Access To God Read: Psalm 143; Proverbs 6:20-24; Revelation 4; 2 Samuel 11-12 Reading Psalm 143 is so inspiring. It contains beautiful prayers for supplication, serenity and safety  (3'S'). Let's look at each verse: v1a) Lord, I seek Your attention (asking Him to give ear to my supplications) v1b) I ask You to answer my prayers (v7) speedily v2) I pray that You do not bring judgment to Your servant for no one living is righteous before You v7) O Lord, please do not hide Your face from me v8) Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning for I trust You v8b) Cause me to know the way I should go for I lift up my soul to You v9) Deliver me from my enemies for in You I take shelter v10) Teach me to do Your will for You are my God v10b) May Your good Spirit lead me in the land of uprightness v11) Revive and bring me out of trouble for Your name & righteousness' sake v12) In Your mercy, cut off my enemies & destroy all those who ...

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 181 - Prepare For EndTimes Read Psalm 139; Proverbs 6:7-9; Jude; 2 Samuel 3-4 Jude:14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones 15 to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”16 These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage. I am not sure about you but I am excited about the Second Coming of our dear Lord Jesus Christ. In today's passage we have a glimpse of how our beloved Jesus is to return. He is coming with thousands upon thousands of His holy ones to judge everyone. Who are the holy ones? You and I who are true genuine believers of Christ as His precious blood has cleansed us and made us holy. Next, we are to judge the world. This is the part I li...

Day 182 - Fear God Psalm 140; Proverbs 6:9-11; Revelation 1; 2 Samuel 5-6 2 Samuel 6:6-7 v6 - Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God because the oxen stumbled. 7 The LORD’s anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down, and he died there beside the ark of God. Here, in this passage we can see how Uzzah was trying to "help" God by reaching out to take hold of the ark of God. How important that we do not "play" God. Do not think we can help God. God does not need help. It is our privilege that He allows us to be in partnership to serve Him. We need to revere God, just as it is stated in 1 Samuel 2:30 where the Lord says: 'Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.' In 1 Samuel 15:22, the prophet Samuel said: “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice..." Stri...
