HOLY  BIBLE Scripture:

John 15:5 in the NKJV

 "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing"

Today's Word: 

The best decision of your life was to live your life with God at the center. That was the essential first step to living at your full potential. Now the key to experiencing an extraordinary life every day is to grow in your Relationship with God. In this Scripture, Jesus talks about how life with God is like a vine and its branches. When a branch is connected to the vine, it receives nourishment and life. It’s able to produce fruit. In the same way, we have to stay connected to God so we can receive His strength and be empowered to accomplish all that He has for us. Jesus put it this way, “Without Me you can do nothing.” 

So how do we stay connected? First, by acknowledging Him. By talking to Him. By reading and following His Word. See, when you acknowledge God, that’s a sign of humility. You’re saying, “God, I know You created the whole Universe. You flung the stars into space. You tell every raindrop where to fall. I’m not here by accident. You breathed Your life into me. You made me in Your Image. You crowned me with Your Favor. God, I can’t do this without You. I can’t make it on my own. I need You in my Life.” When you show that kind of dependency on God, there is nothing He won’t do for you. God will move Heaven and Earth to get you to where you’re supposed to be.

A Prayer for Today: 

Father, today I choose to Abide in You. I don’t want to live life on my own, so I choose to Trust in You. Show me Your Ways. Teach me Your Love. Keep me close to You always in JESUS' Name. Amen.

HOLY BIBLE Scripture:

"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

(Psalm 16:11, NKJV)

Today's Word:

God promises that Joy is found in His Presence. When you don’t have Joy, you’re in some way being disconnected from God’s Presence. If you go through the day stressed out, worried, offended, and on edge, you’re separating yourself from the Blessing, the Favor, and the strength you need. In the tough times, you need to be full of Joy, because the Joy of the Lord is what gives you strength to make it through.

We all are dealing with difficult situations. But no matter what’s going on around you, God wants you to experience His Supernatural Joy at all times. Joy manifests when you focus your heart on the Heavenly Father and Praise Him for who He is and what He’s done in your Life. The Scripture says that He inhabits the Praises of His people. Anytime you feel depleted or overwhelmed, just begin to Praise and thank God, draw near to Him and He’ll draw near to you. In His Presence you’ll be refreshed and restored to His full Joy.

A Prayer for Today:

“Father, thank You that though I face challenges and obstacles today, I can still walk in the fullness of Joy. Thank You that no matter what happens to me, You inhabit my Praises with Your Presence. I receive Your Joy as my strength to rise up and overcome the tough times. In JESUS ’ Mighty Name, Amen.”

Have a Joyful Life !

* Acknowledge that you are a sinner: The first step to Salvation is to accept that you are a sinner in dire need of a way of escape. The Bible says that all have sinned and fallen short of God's Glory (Romans 3:23).

The Bible says in 1 John 1:8:

"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."

* 

Repent and consciously ask God for forgiveness: It is not enough to acknowledge your sins; you must proceed to repentance and consciously ask God for forgiveness. This means confessing every fault to God with a genuine heart of repentance. Even though it is impossible to remember every sin you might have committed, just confess the ones you can remember and ask Him to forgive you. It is written in Acts 2:38:

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be Baptised every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit."

* Believe and Confess Jesus as your Saviour: Without believing in God's Power to forgive you your sins, it is impossible to become a beneficiary of His Power of Salvation. It is your Faith in the Power of Jesus to Forgive and Cleanse you of your sins that gives you the confidence that you are now Born Again and can walk in the reality of new birth. It is written in Romans 10:10:

"For with the heart man believeth unto Righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation."

When you confess Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord, you are then Born Again and become a beneficiary of the Power at Salvation.

My question to you at this point is:

Have you consciously accepted Jesus Christ as your Personal Saviour and Lord? Are you Born Again, Saved and a Child of God? Until this is done, you cannot receive the Power from on High.

If you want to be Born Again, please say the prayer of salvation below in faith.

THE SALVATION PRAYER.

The only condition God requires of you to become His Child is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Personal Saviour (Romans 10:10). Having considered this truth, you can now say this prayer:

Father, I realise that I have been a sinner. Today, I come before You asking for forgiveness of my sins.

I believe in the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ and I believe in His Power to save me if I ask Him to.

Now Lord, Save me, accept me as Your Child and write my name in the Book of Life.

Thank you Father for saving me in Jesus Name.

I receive and accept You today as my Lord and Personal Saviour.

AMEN.

MATTHEW  5 : 6

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HUNGER AND THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS; FOR THEY SHALL BE FILLED. 

(The Promise made by Our Beloved Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST to His Beloved Children who LOVE Him)

SHALOM!

#PSTNATH.

Jesus was Baptized by John the Baptist with Water in the River Jordan,as a Grown Man not as a Baby. Jesus was also Baptized by the Holy Spirit and therefore received the Gift of the Spirit. We must also do likewise when we are mature knowing right from wrong. Jesus was the Son of God with no Sin in Him; every thing He did on earth was a demonstration of the Power of God ; revealing the WAY the Path we should take to the FATHER.  JESUS Himself is the ONLY Way to the Father without whom no one shall see God.

We must  be Baptized in the NAME OF THE FATHER; THE SON & THE HOLY SPIRIT. 

AMEN.
