As children of God, We must develop Consistency in our Relationship with  God.

God says,in Proverbs 8:17 NKJV : ” I love those who love me, AND THOSE WHO SEEK ME DILIGENTLY WILL FIND ME”.

” For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.  AND YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FIND ME, WHEN YOU SEARCH FOR ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART.”( Jeremiah 29:11-13 NKJV).

” BUT SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” ( Matthew 6: 33-34 NKJV).

And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and LOOKING BACK, is fit for the kingdom of God.”( Luke 9:62).

” Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,  I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.  Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.” ( Philippians 3:12-16 NKJV).

+Continue on your consistent journey in your relationship with our Lord by living by every Word of God from your heart in LOVE, TRUTH, HOLINESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS and FAITH.
+Struggles, tests, temptations, and tribulations may come to stop us or slow us down.

But 1 Corinthians 15:58 KJV says,
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
+We are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through Christ Jesus Who Loves us, and we are Greatly BLESSED and Highly Favored and Deeply Loved by God our Heavenly Father. Hallelujah and Amen!

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[ Jude 1:24-25 NKJV].

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

Don’t Ever Stop Trusting God,as long as you live. ” Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.”( Psalms 20:7 NKJV).

” Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;  In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.  Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil.  It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.” ( Proverbs 3:5-8 NKJV).

+Have you ever been in a situation where you were so overwhelmed that you didn’t know what to do, and how you were going to get out of it?
+The Word of God said in Ephesians 6:13 :
” Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

+And in Isaiah 40:31 the Word says: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
+Just simply do what God said to do. If God said wait, then wait upon Him. If God said to do something, then do what God said to do.

+Also remember what 1 Corinthians 15:57-58 says : ” But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, since you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” Hallelujahs to Jesus!
+God always provides and He always make a way when it seems that there is no way.

” Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,  to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” [Ephesians 3:20-21 NKJV].

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

All the benefits of prayer empowers our lives. Prayer is not a monologue (just us talking to God). Prayer is a dialogue. We speak to God and God speaks to us.
+++Consider putting thanksgiving and praises before your petitions in prayer.
+++In prayer it is more important for us to hear God, than for God to hear us.
+++In prayer the will of God is more important than our personal desires, Luke 11:1-4.
+++In prayer we experienced the presence of God and we develop intimacy with Him.
+++In prayer our hearts and minds are in sync with the Heart and Mind of God.
+++When we leave prayer we are Informed, instructed and corrected.

Our hearts and minds are touched with enlightenment, inspiration, encouragement and strength.
Luke 18:1 …men ought always to pray, and not to faint…
Continue instant in prayer.
Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit…

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen! Enjoy the rest of the day.

” But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.  Therefore comfort one another with these words.”(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 NKJV).

” Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.  For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (HEBREWS 4:14-16 NKJV).

” But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.  Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.  For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens;  who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.”(Hebrews 7: 24-28 NKJV).

” Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,  looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”(Hebrews 12:1-2 NKJV).

Let’s Pray 🙏🏽
Lord, our God and Father, we thank you for letting us walk in the way of Jesus Christ, for helping us on the way to the Cross. Come what may, we belong to the Savior, and we are your children. We want to be joyful and full of faith, full of hope, full of patience, for your mercy leads us on. In all we experience how often we can say, “Thanks be to God. He has helped us here, he has helped there, he helps every day in spite of all the evil in the world. Praise and thanks and honor be to him forever!”

Loving Father, thank You for the many people of faith in Scripture who bear witness that Your Word is trustworthy and true. In the trials and difficulties of my life, help me to keep trusting You like this great cloud of witnesses. Help me to discard every encumbrance that may hinder my Christian progress and witness and give me perseverance as I press toward the final goal. May I patiently endure all the obstacles in life in the power of the Holy Spirit and help me to be a living witness to Your Word of truth.

Heavenly Father, praise Your Holy name that Jesus went to the Cross and endured its suffering and separation for my sake. Thank You that even in His agony He counted it as joy because His work would save my soul. Thank You that His work is finished, and salvation is free to all who trust, by faith alone, in Christ alone. May I forever and ever keep Jesus as the centre and circumference of my life and faith. In His precious name I pray,
Amen.

” And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;..”(Luke 18:1 KJV).

” Pray without ceasing.  In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 KJV).

” Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;  and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.”(Philippians 4:6-9 NKJV).

” Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.  Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”( James 5:13-16 NKJV).

LET’S  PRAY 🙏🏽 : DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, As we gather today on this blessed day,that you have made, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude and reverence. We thank You for the gift of life, the beauty of creation, and the love that surrounds us each day. We acknowledge Your presence in our lives and seek Your guidance in all that we do.

Lord, we ask for Your strength and wisdom as we navigate the challenges and joys of our lives. Help us to be a source of light and support to those around us. May we embody kindness, patience, and compassion in our interactions, reflecting Your love in all we do.

We humbly bring before You our specific requests and the concerns on our hearts. We ask for healing for those who are sick or suffering, both in body and spirit. May Your comfort and peace envelop them, restoring their health and hope.

We pray for guidance in our decisions, that You would illuminate our paths and lead us toward fulfilling our purpose. Grant us the courage to follow Your will, even when it is difficult, and the discernment to recognize Your voice amid the noise of the world.

Lord, we lift up our families and loved ones. Bless them with joy, unity, and protection. Help us to nurture our relationships and build a strong foundation of love and support for one another.

We also pray for our communities and the broader world. May Your justice and peace reign, guiding leaders and individuals alike toward harmony and understanding. Help us to be instruments of change, advocating for the marginalized and working towards a brighter future for all.

Finally, Lord, we ask for Your grace to embrace today fully. Help us to find rest in Your presence, to reflect on our blessings, and to renew our spirits for the week ahead. May we open our hearts to You fully, trusting in Your divine plan for our lives. IN THE ALMIGHTY NAME OF JESUS, WE PRAY.  AMEN 🙏.

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” ( Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV ).

” For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”( John 3:16 NKJV).

” Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.”(1 John 3:1 NKJV).

” But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.  For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.  And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.”(Romans 5:8-11 NKJV).

You are loved with the greatest love ever.
In John 15:13-14 Jesus said:
Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. All of you are my friends…

•Jesus loves us with the greatest love ever. A love that is demonstrated in His death on the cross for us (Without the death of Jesus on the cross we all would die in our sins and stay dead).
•His death saved us from sin, judgement, eternal death, hell and the lake of fire.
•Jesus raised from the dead gives righteousness, holiness, eternal life, a mansion in heaven, crowns, gifts and rewards.

O how He Loves us. O how He Loves us so
+++You are Dear, Precious, Highly Valued and Favored to the Heart and Mind of God.
+++Loved you are and you will always be loved and to Jesus be all the glory. Amen!

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen. “[ Jude 1:24-25 NKJV]

” The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalms 27:NKJV).

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”(Matthew 5:14-16 NKJV).

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”( John 8:12 NKJV).

” I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.  And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.  He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.” ( John 12:46-50 NKJV).

” For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light  (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),  finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.  For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.  Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”( Ephesians 5:8-14 NKJV).

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[Jude 1:14-25 NKJV].

” But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.”(Deuteronomy 30:14 NKJV).

Psalms 119:11, 105, 130, 133 NKJV says:
[11] Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.
[105] Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
[130] The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.
[133] Direct my steps by Your word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me.

” But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach):  that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” ( Romans 10:8-11 NKJV).

” But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.  But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,  and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.  All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,  that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” ( 2 Timothy 3:13-17 NKJV).

These words of God have the ability to ‘empower you by its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction.’ All of us need to plunge headfirst in the direction of godliness, and there is no other way to do this apart from the Word of God. It’s there to give us instruction and correction in ways we cannot see ourselves.

Lord, please be at work in me through the power of Your Holy Word. Let it instruct, correct and empower me to be the person You called me to be. Amen

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen. [Jude 1:24-25 NKJV].

” Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;  and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.  For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.”(Romans 5:1-11 NKJV).

” Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,  that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.  Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”(2 Corinthians 5:17-21 NKJV).

” For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation,  having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace,  and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.  And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.”( Ephesians 2:14-18 NKJV).

” For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;  giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.  He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.  For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. Ý And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 

For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight—  if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.” (Colossians 1: 9-23 NKJV).

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen. “[ Jude 1:24-25].

” Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6 NKJV).

” Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’(Isaiah 41:10 NKJV).

” And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”( Matthew 19:28 NKJV).

” For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” ( 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV).

” There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear.
Because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.” ( 1 John 4:18 NKJV).

•Natural Fear is to be afraid of natural things such as heights, the dark, a dog, and being alone, etc.
•The spirit of fear or (demonic fear) is actually an evil spirit. This evil spirit uses anything it can to torment, worry and stress you to the point of breaking down mentally and emotionally, and also getting sick to the point of death.
•Your cure for the spirit of fear is the Holy Spirit. He is the Spirit of Power, Love and a Sound Mind.
•The Perfect and Complete Love of God is in your heart by the Holy Spirit. Knowing and accepting this truth liberates you from all fears.

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!
