Joy is love enjoying all of the goodness of God. The first result of true love in relationships is the evidence of joy.

“The joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Peace is love resting on the promises of God.

"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and deep, inseparable and everlasting love. God I praise You, revere You, worship You, I stand in awe of You, I lift You up on high and glorify Your Holy Name.

O gracious and merciful God, my God of hope, fill my heart with the fruit of Your Holy Spirit. Lord I trust in You. Let me enjoy all Your goodness Lord so that my heart will be filled with joy and peace so that I may overflow with hope by the power of The Holy Spirit. Lord, let your strength be manifested in my life.

Lord I rest on Your promises, fill me with Your peace which is above my comprehension.

I pray that out of Your glorious riches You may strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith. In the mighty name of Jesus; my Lord and Saviour; The King of kings and Lord of lords, in The Holy Name of Your only begotten Son Jesus, I pray to You Father. To Jesus be the power, the glory, the majesty and the dominion forever and ever and unto ages of all ages. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

October 22 Devotion - The Fruit of The Spirit

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

واما ثمر الروح فهو محبة فرح سلام طول اناة لطف صلاح ايمان

وداعة تعفف.

Galatians 5:22–23

"Fruit of the Spirit" is a Biblical term that sums up the nine visible attributes of a true Christian life. We learn from scripture that these are not individual "fruits" from which we pick and choose. Rather, the fruit of the Spirit is one ninefold "fruit" that characterizes all who truly walk in the Holy Spirit. Collectively, these are the fruits that all Christians should be producing through The Holy Spirit. The way to the fulfillment of the law is not to live under the law like slaves, but to live by the Spirit as children of God.

The fruit of the Holy Spirit is first and foremost love. All of the other qualities associated with having the Holy Spirit flow from the presence of God’s love in us.

 

And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

1 John 4:16

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and deep, everlasting, and inseparable love. God I praise You, revere You, worship You, I stand in awe of You, and glorify Your Holy Name. O gracious and merciful God, fill my heart with the fruit of Your Holy Spirit - love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Fill me Jesus with the moral qualities produced by the Spirit. Teach and strengthen me to love those who hate me; to pray for those who despitefully use me; so that I may be a child of God, my Father, who makes the sun to shine on the evil and on the good and send rain on the just and on the unjust. Fill my heart dear Lord with Your unconditional Agape love.I pray that out of Your glorious riches You may strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith. Ephesians 3:16-17 I declare to the world that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour. In the name of the King of kings and Lord of lords, in the Holy Name of Your only begotten Son Jesus, I pray to You Father. To Jesus be the power, the glory, the majesty and the dominion forever and ever and unto ages of all ages. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,

October 20 Devotion - Country Leadership under God (Canada has a new Prime Minister)

Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice…..And disobedience is as [serious as] false religion and idolatry. If you reject the word of the Lord, He will also reject you as leader.

1 Samuel 15:22-23

And now, Canada, what does the Lord your God require from you, but to fear [and worship] the Lord your God [with awe-filled reverence and profound respect], to walk [that is, to live each and every day] in all His ways and to love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul [your choices, your thoughts, your whole being], ¹³ and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes.

Deuteronomy 10:12-13Amplified Bible (AMP)

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for Canada and the new leader of Canada:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and Your deep, everlasting and inseparable love.

I pray that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for leaders and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:1-15

For the true love of God is this: that we habitually keep His commandments and remain focused on His precepts. For His precepts are not difficult to obey. 1 John 5:3

I pray that you put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. As you come to Him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourself like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:1-25.

Jesus, in Your Holy name I pray. To Jesus be the glory, the majesty, the power and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,

October 19 Devotion - God's Planning System

For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for Your name’s sake, Lead me and guide me.

لان صخرتي ومعقلي انت. من اجل اسمك تهديني وتقودني.

Psalm 31:3

I believe we need to be open to a change in plans if we sense God moving us in another direction and follow God’s Planning System (GPS). He will lead us and guide us, and all we need to do is just trust Him because He is our rock on which we stand and He protects us in His fortress. We connect to Him through our prayers and we should never feel lost with Him guiding us.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and Your deep, everlasting and inseparable love. Lord, I praise You, I glorify You and I rejoice in You. Lord, please help me become flexible and obedient. I sometimes feel confused between what I desire and what You may want, as I sense that You may be guiding me to move in another direction. Help me to stay connected to You, to hear Your voice and to know for sure Your plan for me and the direction You want me to follow. I need Your wisdom God, please sort out the truth in my mind and heart and lead me and guide me to do Your will for You are my rock and my fortress. Jesus, in Your Holy name I pray. To Jesus be the glory, the majesty, the power and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
