STOP NEGLECTING IT!


9-21-2010....STOP NEGLECTING IT!

"I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word." (Ps 119:16 NIV)  Following God's word is a delight and it brings delight.  To neglect it, is like neglecting to do the things necessary to sustain life.  In the same way as we need air, water and food, we need God's words.  Stop neglecting it!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your word.  We cannot survive without it!  Increase our daily appetite for it!  Amen!
 
Job 23:11-12. . . .My foot has held fast to His steps; I have kept His way and not turned aside. I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth More than my necessary food.  NKJV

BLESSINGS AND PEACE!


9-20-2010. . . .BLESSINGS AND PEACE!

FOCUS: Psalms 119

"I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous laws."  (Ps 119:7 NIV)  It is praise worthy when one not only learns what God's desires (His Laws), but diligently seeks to fulfil those desires.  It glorifies God and brings blessings and peace to one's life.

Prayer: Lord, our desire is to please you.  May doing so be our daily goal.  Amen. 

Ps 19:7-9. . . . The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.   The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.   The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.  KJV

PROSPERITY PURSUES PURPOSE!



9-17-2010. . . . PROSPERITY PURSUES PURPOSE!


THEME: UNDER CONSTRUCTION

"But don't begin until you count the cost.   For who would begin construction of a building without first getting estimates and then checking to see if he has enough money to pay the bills?  Otherwise he might complete only the foundation before running out of funds.   And then how everyone would laugh! (Luke 14:28-29 TLB)   When God began His construction project called "You",  He knew everything it would take to complete the task.  There is no need to worry or fret over what you have or don't have.  When we are in sink with God's will and plan, He will supply us with everything needed in order for us to become who He has made and is making us to be.  Prosperity will pursue purpose!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for the work you are completing in us.  You daily supply us will everything needed for the project (us) to be successfully completed.  Amen!

Phil 4:19. . . . But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.  KJV

CEASE AND DESIST!


9-16-2010. . . .CEASE AND DESIST!

THEME: UNDER CONSTRUCTION!


"Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain."  (Ps 127:1 KJV)  "They labor in vain that build it!"  Who's building your life?  If its you, your best efforts will result in something far less than what was intended, planned and purposed.  Issue a cease and desist order.  A cease and desist is an order or request to halt an activity (cease) and not to take it up again later (desist)!  Turn the project of your life over to God and don't take it up again.

Prayer: Lord, we are tired of laboring in vain to build our lives.  Today we issue a cease and desist order and release the project into your hands where it should have been in the first place.  Amen!

Ps 127:1. . . . Unless the Lord builds a house, the builders' work is useless. Unless the Lord protects a city, sentries do no good.  TLB

HE REMAINS COMMITTED!


9-15-2010. . . .HE REMAINS COMMITTED!

THEME: UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.  (Ps 138:8 KJV)   It spite of all we've done to interfere, disrupt and at times, down right defy God's plan for our lives, He remains committed to His plan and purpose.  More importantly, He remains committed to us!  In our times of interference, disruption and defiance, God's mercy covers and keeps us! (Great is thy Faithfulness)

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your plan for us and your patience with us!  Let your mercy forever cover and keep us until such a time as we return to our senses and submit to your will and stay out of your way.  Amen!

Ps 138:8. . . .The Lord will work out his plans for my life-for your loving-kindness, Lord, continues forever. Don't abandon me-for you made me.  TLB

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your continued work on us, in us, and through.  Our lives are developing according to your plan.  Amen!

MASTERPIECE!


9-13-2010. . . . MASTERPIECE!

THEME: UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." (Jer 1:5 NIV)  Every construction project starts with a plan and a purpose.  Since before the start, God set in place a plan and purpose for our lives.  His plan and purpose is not flawed, neither are we!  Although the construction site may currently appear disorganized and unclear, the plan will come together and develop into a masterpiece!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your plan and purpose for our lives.  Give us patience through the construction process.  Amen!

1 John 3:2-3. . . .Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. NKJV
