September 9 Devotion - Keep yourselves in God's love

For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.

...But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

Romans 7:19, Jude1:20–21

 

فَأَنَا لاَ أَعْمَلُ الصَّلاَحَ الَّذِي أُرِيدُهُ؛ وَإِنَّمَا الشَّرُّ الَّذِي لاَ أُرِيدُهُ فَإِيَّاهُ أُمَارِسُ

وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، فَابْنُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ عَلَى إِيمَانِكُمُ الأَقْدَسِ، وَصَلُّوا دَائِماً فِي الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ.َاحْفَظُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ فِي مَحَبَّةِ اللهِ، مُنْتَظِرِينَ رَحْمَةَ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ إِذْ يَعُودُ وَيَأْخُذُكُمْ لِتَحْيَوْا مَعَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings. Lord, I cannot do it on my own. Replace my self-effort and my problem solving techniques with Your power. Help me learn to walk by faith. Jesus, You are my Strength and my Shield. You are the One who can fortify my human frailty with Your supernatural grace. I lean on You today. Saviour, saturate my mind with Your Word and fill me with Your Spirit. Keep me in Your love and strength as I await Your return Jesus. Amen.

Jesus loves you
In Him,

September 6 Devotion - May the power of Christ rest upon me

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

 ⁹ فَقَالَ لِي: «نِعْمَتِي تَكْفِيكَ، لأَنَّ قُدْرَتِي تُكَمَّلُ فِي الضَّعْفِ!» فَأَنَا أَرْضَى بِأَنْ أَفْتَخِرَ مَسْرُوراً بِالضَّعَفَاتِ الَّتِي فِيَّ، لِكَيْ تُخَيِّمَ عَلَيَّ قُدْرَةُ الْمَسِيحِ.

2 Corinthians 12:9

When we are weak, we need the energizing work of the Holy Spirit to sustain us.

Isaiah encourages us that God “Gives power to the weak and to those who have no might He increases strength”

يَهِبُ الْمَنْهُوكَ قُوَّةً وَيَمْنَحُ الضَّعِيفَ قُدْرَةً عَظِيمَةً.

Isaiah 40:29

 

We need to rely fully on God and praise Him in expectation of His support.

 

I invite you to repeat the following prayer:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings. Lord, in my weakest moments, assure me that the power of Christ will rest upon me. Your grace is sufficient for me. I believe that when your grace abounds my weakness will be transformed into strength and I will soar like an eagle and I shall run and not be weary. In Jesus’ name I pray. To Him be the power, the glory and the dominion forever and ever, Amen.

Jesus loves you
In Him,

September 5 Devotion - The Lord Gives Wisdom

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

5 وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ بِحَاجَةٍ إِلَى الْحِكْمَةِ، فَلْيَطْلُبْ مِنَ اللهِ الَّذِي يُعْطِي الْجَمِيعَ بِسَخَاءٍ وَلاَ يُعَيِّرُ. فَسَيُعْطَى لَهُ.
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَهَبُ الْحِكْمَةَ، وَمِنْ فَمِهِ تَتَدَفَّقُ الْمَعْرِفَةُ وَالْفَهْمُ.

James 1:5, Proverbs 2:6

 

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings. Lord, fill me with Your wisdom and help me to think and talk through Your wisdom. I pray that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that every decision I make be based on Your wisdom. Teach me Your ways O’Lord and help me to walk in Your path always counseling me and course-correcting me whenever I drift. Jesus I know that You are the light of the world, strengthen me to always follow You. Father let the Holy Spirit who indwells me have a continuous increase in His will and a continuous decrease in my will. In Jesus’ name I pray. To Him be the power, the glory and the dominion forever and ever, Amen.

Jesus loves you

September 4 Devotion - Jesus Heals

While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”
³⁶ As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.” ³⁷ And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. ³⁸ Then He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw a tumult and those who wept and wailed loudly. ³⁹ When He came in, He said to them, “Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping.”
⁴⁰ And they ridiculed Him. But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying. ⁴¹ Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” ⁴² Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement. ⁴³ But He commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat.

Mark 5:35-43

 

I invite you to repeat the following prayer:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings. Lord I pray for all Your children who are in need of Your healing touch, that You touch them today. I pray that The Holy Spirit that indwells us and that was sent to us by The Father in Jesus’ name give us all the faith needed to believe that You will heal us. Father give our physicians clarity to correctly diagnose and heal our illnesses. Jesus You possess the healing ability, we need to believe to receive it. Lord, today I pray that You strengthen my faith so as to receive Your healing. In Jesus’ name. To Him be the power, the glory and the dominion forever and ever, Amen.

35 وبينما هو يتكلم جاءوا من دار رئيس المجمع قائلين ابنتك ماتت .لماذا تتعب المعلم بعد .

36 فسمع يسوع لوقته الكلمة التي قيلت فقال لرئيس المجمع لا تخف .آمن فقط .
37 ولم يدع احد يتبعه الا بطرس ويعقوب ويوحنا اخا يعقوب .
38 فجاء الى بيت رئيس المجمع ورأى ضجيجا .يبكون ويولولون كثيرا .
39 فدخل وقال لهم لماذا تضجون وتبكون .لم تمت الصبية لكنها نائمة .
40 فضحكوا عليه .اما هو فاخرج الجميع واخذ ابا الصبية وامها والذين معه ودخل حيث كانت الصبية مضطجعة .
41 وامسك بيد الصبية وقال لها طليثا قومي .الذي تفسيره يا صبية لك اقول قومي .
42 وللوقت قامت الصبية ومشت .لانها كانت ابنة اثنتي عشر سنة .فبهتوا بهتا عظيما .
43 فاوصاهم كثيرا ان لا يعلم احد بذلك .وقال ان تعطى لتأكل

September 3 Devotion - Be Transformed

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will… For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose… being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. 

Romans 12:2

Philippians 2:13

Philippians 1:6

ولا تشاكلوا هذا الدهر. بل تغيّروا عن شكلكم بتجديد اذهانكم لتختبروا ما هي ارادة الله الصالحة المرضية الكاملة.

لأَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الَّذِي يُنْشِيءُ فِيكُمُ الإِرَادَةَ وَالْعَمَلَ لأَجْلِ مَرْضَاتِهِ.

وَلِي ثِقَةٌ فِي هَذَا الأَمْرِ بِالذَّاتِ: أَنَّ الَّذِي بَدَأَ فِيكُمْ عَمَلاً صَالِحاً سَوْفَ يُتَمِّمُهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

God is in the change business. He changed a group of fisherman to leading evangelists. He changed a man’s objective of destroying Christians and churches to creating churches and leading people to the truth.

 

God changed many people throughout history to the better and is in the process of helping all who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour; like you and me; and will see it to completion according to His will for us.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings. Thank You Lord that You want to revolutionize my mind as well as my spirit. Help me and teach me to change my paradigms, thinking, attitude and behaviour. Through the supernatural change agent; the Holy Spirit; change O’Lord all my entrenched mental configurations that do not please You and take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ 2 Corinthians 10:5. I pray that You make me willing to change so that I can live Your good, pleasing and perfect will for me. Thank You Father that You work in me to will and act according to Your purpose. Lord You began the transformation in my life when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour and am confident that You will carry it through on to completion. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

September 2 Devotion - A time to work and a time to rest

Then the apostles gathered to Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught. ³¹ And He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.”

Mark 6:30-31

For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.
² A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. Ecclesiastes 3:1-2

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31

 Today is ‘Labour Day’. A time for rest from work. Jesus Himself told His disciples after their hard word that they should take a time to rest and rejuvenate. So must we. As Solomon wrote: There is a time for everything under the sun.

In 1 Corinthians 10:31The Scriptures tell us that whatever we do we should do for God’s glory. So whether we are working or at rest we need to glorify God.

We have to remember that Jesus gave us a job to do apart from our regular jobs. In His great commission Jesus said to His disciples and to all believers “ ..make disciples of all nations… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Matthew 28 So if you have retired, welcome to your second career.

Let us remember that when we surrender our lives to Jesus and make Him Lord of our lives:

… it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
لأَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الَّذِي يُنْشِيءُ فِيكُمُ الإِرَادَةَ وَالْعَمَلَ لأَجْلِ مَرْضَاتِهِ

Philippians 2:13

 I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and for the riches of Your grace. God of peace may the blood of the eternal covenant; the resurrection of Jesus; His Shepherd care for His sheep; and the equipping of the Holy Spirit; guide my every action. Lord make me want what You want for me, work in me to will and to work in order to fulfill Your purpose and to always glorify You. In Jesus’ name I pray. To Him be the power, the glory and the dominion forever and ever, Amen.

August 30 Devotion - Strong Weak People

Peter said to Him, Lord, why cannot I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You.

³⁸ Jesus answered, Will you [really] lay down your life for Me? I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me [completely disown Me] three times.

John 13:37-38

 Do not let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated). You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me.

John 14: 1

All of the disciples must have been troubled about Jesus' predictions of betrayal, denial, and departure. After all, if Peter's commitment was shaky, then every disciple should be aware of his own weaknesses.

In the Greek, the pronoun your is plural; therefore, Jesus was speaking to Peter and to all the other disciples.

Jesus did not want his followers to imitate Peter's impulsive self-confidence. Potential weaknesses and possible failures trouble us. So we don't like to think about them. Peter denied his own frailty and claimed more faith than he had.

Jesus' solution for troubled hearts requires us to trust in him. Trust does not mean pretending we are strong; it means recognizing our weakness and need for God's help. If we believe for a moment that we can follow Jesus in our own strength, we will fail as miserably as Peter.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and for the riches of Your grace. Thank You that You have provided for my weakness by sending the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), The Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ name [in Jesus’ place, to represent Him and act on His behalf], to teach me to trust in You and in Jesus and replace my troubled heart with Your peace. Lord, I admit my weakness and my need for the help of The Holy Spirit to comfort me strengthen me and give me wise counsel and I pray for it in Jesus’ name. To Him be the power, the glory and the dominion forever and ever, Amen.

August 29 Devotion - THE RICHES OF GOD'S GRACE

… having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.

 

⁵ إِذْ سَبَقَ فَعَيَّنَنَا فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ لِيَتَّخِذَنَا أَبْنَاءً لَهُ بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. وَذَلِكَ مُوَافِقٌ لِلْقَصْدِ الَّذِي سُرَّتْ بِهِ مَشِيئَتُهُ،

 ⁶ بِغَرَضِ مَدْحِ مَجْدِ نِعْمَتِهِ الَّتِي بِهَا أَعْطَانَا حُظْوَةً لَدَيْهِ فِي الْمَحْبُوبِ:

Ephesians 1:5-6

 Ephesians 1:5–6 teaches us that God’s will was to adopt us as His own through the work of Christ. God’s will is that we would have the strongest possible relationship with Him through the most precious relationship He has ever created which is His relationship with His Son Jesus Christ.

Every believer in Jesus as his/her Lord and Saviour is immensely loved by God and we are adopted into His spiritual family, we are His children. Salvation is a position of great blessing, each one of us can enjoy being a child of God and receive His blessings and gifts of mercy and grace and start living eternity NOW.

 

Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? ¹¹ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

ام اي انسان منكم اذا سأله ابنه خبزا يعطيه حجرا .

10 وان سأله سمكة يعطيه حية .

11 فان كنتم وانتم اشرار تعرفون ان تعطوا اولادكم عطايا جيدة فكم بالحري ابوكم الذي في السموات يهب خيرات للذين يسألونه .

Mathew 7:9-11

 

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings. Thank You Father who is in heaven that I have been adopted into Your family and that I am loved and accepted by You. Thank You God for the riches of Your grace. Thank You that You have said that as Your child I can come boldly to Your throne of grace, and obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16. I come boldly to Your throne of grace and ask You to help me always seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, for Jesus said that when we seek them first, all other things will be added unto us. In Jesus’ name I pray. To Him be the power, the glory and the dominion forever and ever, Amen.

August 28 Devotion - God's ways Are Greater

Yet when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days.

فَقَدْ مَكَثَ حَيْثُ كَانَ مُدَّةَ يَوْمَيْنِ بَعْدَ عِلْمِهِ بِمَرَضِ لِعَازَرَ .

John 11: 6

Lazarus’ family was thinking of a healing. Jesus was thinking of a resurrection. God’s ways are so different than ours. We may be praying for something but He may be preparing something much greater.

 

As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

فَكَمَا ارْتَفَعَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ، كَذَلِكَ ارْتَفَعَتْ طُرُقِي عَنْ طُرُقِكُمْ، وَأَفْكَارِي عَنْ أَفْكَارِكُمْ.

Isaiah 55:9

 

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings. Lord please help me to release all of my cares and concerns to You knowing that You have a greater plan prepared for me. Teach me to be patient and to trust You fully. Help me realize that having extreme needs presses me closer to You and provides me an opportunity to see Your glory. In Jesus' name I pray. To Him be the power, the glory and the dominion forever and ever, Amen.

August 27 Devotion - God Shall Supply All Your Need

My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

وَإِنَّ إِلَهِي سَيَسُدُّ حَاجَاتِكُمْ كُلَّهَا إِلَى التَّمَامِ، وَفْقاً لِغِنَاهُ فِي الْمَجْدِ، فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

Philippians 4:19

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings. Lord, You know all my needs and You have promised to provide them when I seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness. Teach me not to worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Help me to transfer my anxieties to Christ and to ‘help’ You by letting You be God and I Your faithful servant and friend. I rejoice in the victorious thought that You are taking care of me and You have never failed to keep any of Your promises. God, I leave all my present and future needs at Your alter for I know You are faithful, omniscient, and love me perfectly. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷ Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

 ²⁸ And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹ Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰ If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? ³¹ So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' ³² For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”  

Matthew 6:25–34

25 لذلك اقول لكم لا تهتموا لحياتكم بما تاكلون وبما تشربون .ولا لاجسادكم بما تلبسون .أليست الحياة افضل من الطعام والجسد افضل من اللباس .

26 انظروا الى طيور السماء .انها لا تزرع ولا تحصد ولا تجمع الى مخازن .وابوكم السماوي يقوتها .ألستم انتم بالحري افضل منها .

27 ومن منكم اذا اهتم يقدر ان يزيد على قامته ذراعا واحدة .

28 ولماذا تهتمون باللباس .تأملوا زنابق الحقل كيف تنمو .لا تتعب ولا تغزل .

29 ولكن اقول لكم انه ولا سليمان في كل مجده كان يلبس كواحدة منها .

30 فان كان عشب الحقل الذي يوجد اليوم ويطرح غدا في التنور يلبسه الله هكذا أفليس بالحري جدا يلبسكم انتم يا قليلي الايمان .

31 فلا تهتموا قائلين ماذا نأكل او ماذا نشرب او ماذا نلبس .

32 فان هذه كلها تطلبها الامم .لان اباكم السماوي يعلم انكم تحتاجون الى هذه كلها .

33 لكن اطلبوا اولا ملكوت الله وبره وهذه كلها تزاد لكم .

34 فلا تهتموا للغد .لان الغد يهتم بما لنفسه .يكفي اليوم شره

August 26 Devotion - When no one else seems to care

Did you ever have a time when your friends and/or relatives seemed to be too busy with their daily life, that you felt that you dropped through the cracks and were of less importance? Did you feel that no one seems to care? Well I have, and if you haven’t you probably will. Sorry.

At that time when no one else seems to care, you realize that you can always depend on God. He always cares, and cares so much more than any human being can care about/for you.

 

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and care. Abba may your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant. Psalm 119:76 Lord I cast my burden on You Lord, and I know that You shall sustain me. Psalm 55:22

I believe your promise that You Yourself go before me and will be with me; I trust Lord that You will never leave me nor forsake me. I am neither afraid nor discouraged. Deuteronomy 31:8.  I feel safe, cared for, loved and at peace because Jesus told me: Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27. . In Jesus’ name I pray.

August 23 Devotion - When we don't know what to do

".....He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths...."

فَيُعَلِّمَنَا طُرُقَهُ، وَنَسْلُكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ،

Isaiah 2:3

 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.

يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: أُعَلِّمُكَ وَأُرْشِدُكَ الطَّرِيقَ الَّتِي تَسْلُكُهَا. أَنْصَحُكَ. عَيْنِي تَرْعَاكَ.

Psalm 32:8

For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَهَبُ الْحِكْمَةَ، وَمِنْ فَمِهِ تَتَدَفَّقُ الْمَعْرِفَةُ وَالْفَهْمُ.

Proverbs 2:6

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

وَخَاطَبَهُمْ يَسُوعُ أَيْضاً فَقَالَ: «أَنَا نُورُ الْعَالَمِ. مَنْ يَتْبَعْنِي فَلاَ يَتَخَبَّطُ فِي الظَّلاَمِ بَلْ يَكُونُ لَهُ نُورُ الْحَيَاةِ».

John 8:12

"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."

وَأَمَّا الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ، الْمُعِينُ الَّذِي سَيُرْسِلُهُ الآبُ بِاسْمِي، فَإِنَّهُ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَيُذَكِّرُكُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا قُلْتُهُ لَكُمْ.

John 14:26

We all face situations where we do not know what to do. We also face troubles in our lives. I realized that my first reaction was to think about what to do myself and to seek counsel from friends and relatives. However I am learning to change my ways and first go to God and seek His guidance through The Bible, to pray and meditate on His word to listen to the prompting of The Holy Spirit and to only seek the counsel of Godly people. 

 

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for all Your blessings and for watching over me. Lord I want to change my ways and depend on You totally through Your Word, the guidance of The Holy Spirit and Your message which You may inspire true believers to tell me. God guide me and strengthen me to change my ways so as to rely on Your wisdom and walk in Your path by following Jesus; the light of the world; and to receive counsel through the comforter; The Holy Spirit; whom You sent to me in the name of Jesus. Lord, I repeat the words of the psalmist: "Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits."

I want to proclaim the words of the apostle Paul “All praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the source of every mercy and the God who comforts us. He comforts us in all our troubles”. In Jesus’ name I pray.

Jesus loves you
In Him,

Psalm 107:8-9
