March 30 Devotion - I will see it when I believe it

 

By faith we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible.

بِالإيمانِ نَفهَمُ أنَّ الكَونُ خُلِقَ بِأمرِ اللهِ، حَتَّى إنَّ ما يُرَى كُوِّنَ مِمّا لا يُرَى.

Hebrews 11:3

Amplified Bible (AMP)

This verse tells me that I have to look with my eyes of faith because the provision, healing and miracle I need is already available in God’s realm. I believe that I was created by Almighty God to live a blessed and fulfilled life.

I believe that many of us may be living far below the level of what God truly intended for us because we do not have enough faith and imagination to see God’s plan and believe how it could happen.

Let us today look with our eyes of faith believing with confident trust that all our requests and challenges including Covid-19 have been resolved by God.

For this reason I am telling you, whatever things you ask for in prayer [in accordance with God’s will], believe [with confident trust] that you have received them, and they will be given to you.

لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ مَا تَطْلُبُونَهُ وَتُصَلُّونَ لأَجْلِهِ، فَآمِنُوا أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ نِلْتُمُوهُ، فَيَتِمَّ لَكُمْ.

Mark 11:24

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for the riches of Your grace upon my life. LORD, I pray that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can  believe that You have a glorious plan for my life and see it materialize because that which I will see was not made out of things which are visible, as Jesus said “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 Help me Lord to pray for things that are aligned with Your will and help me to believe that I have received them, so that I can have them. Thank You Father for Your unfailing, inseparable, deep and everlasting love for me, and for Your abundant blessings in my life. God I pray to You in the name of Your precious Son; my Redeemer, Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, the power, the dominion, the majesty and the blessings before all time and now and forever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,

March 27 Devotion - Go and bear fruit

You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

John 15:16

ليس انتم اخترتموني بل انا اخترتكم واقمتكم لتذهبوا وتأتوا بثمر ويدوم ثمركم .لكي يعطيكم الآب كل ما طلبتم باسمي .

Jesus graciously inclined us by His Holy Spirit to seek Him; and commenced the work of our personal salvation.

Whatever talents and blessings we possess as Christians, we owe to God, and by the most tender and sacred ties we are bound to be His followers. We are chosen to bear spiritual fruit, and to spread as far as possible all the spiritual blessings which the gospel confers on mankind. During these extremely difficult times where we are not only facing regular tribulations we are facing a deadly virus as we have never seen before, our work as Christians in helping people to know about The Good News and help people to know about Jesus and about Salvation which only He can offer. As Jesus has asked us we need to be a light and salt during these extremely difficult times and carry out His Great Commission.We must consider Jesus Christ as the great Mediator between God and us, proclaim His salvation, and pray in His name.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for choosing me and appointing me to bear fruit. LORD, I pray that You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can bear much fruit and that my fruit may last. Thank You Lord for loving me with a deep and everlasting love, thank You for Your abundant blessings in my life, and for the riches of Your grace upon my life.I declare to the world that Jesus Christ is The Saviour of mankind and I pray in the Holy Name of Jesus my Mediator to You Father. To Jesus be the glory and the power and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,

March 19 Devotion - The God of All Comfort

“In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]

فَإِنَّكُمْ فِي الْعَالَمِ سَتُقَاسُونَ الضِّيقَ. وَلكِنْ تَشَجَّعُوا، فَأَنَا قَدِ انْتَصَرْتُ عَلَى الْعَالَمِ

John 16:33

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, ⁴ who comforts us in all our tribulation that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. ⁵ For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.

مبارك الله ابو ربنا يسوع المسيح ابو الرأفة واله كل تعزية

4 الذي يعزينا في كل ضيقتنا حتى نستطيع ان نعزي الذين هم في كل ضيقة بالتعزية التي نتعزى نحن بها من الله.

5 لانه كما تكثر آلام المسيح فينا كذلك بالمسيح تكثر تعزيتنا ايضا.

 

2 Corinthians 1:3-5

  

We need to always remember especially when we are going through periods of concern, fear, or worry as we are going through because of COVID-19 or we are experiencing the loss of a loved one or if we are experiencing severe pain, that our God is The God of all comfort. Jesus understands our tribulations and pain because He himself went through it. Our Saviour stands as the Great High Priest offering us mercy and grace.  The Holy Spirit, The comforter, who is dwelling within every believer, will remind us of all the promises of God and encourage us and channel the love of Jesus to sustain us.

I invite you to repeat the following  prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, I pray that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can depend on You totally and to call out Your name always in praise and thanksgiving, especially during the difficult, painful, dark and desperate periods of life. Strengthen me Abba so that I can transfer Your comfort which I receive, to those who are suffering. Jesus, I rejoice that in the midst of my tribulations, You are my rock. Thank You God for Your unfailing, inseparable, deep and everlasting love for me, Your abundant blessings in my life, and for the riches of Your grace upon my life. LORD, I declare Jesus as my Lord and Saviour and I pray in His Holy Name. To Jesus be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion before all time, and now and forever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
