MAY " My month of Grace"

WORD FROM OLD TESTAMENT-WOT

"And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the LORD".
1King 2:15
What God has destined for your life will certainly come to pass whether the enemy (Agents of the darkness and the Devil) like it or not. It is your choice to let them dictate your destiny or let God dictate it for you. I pray that we will learn to take the right decision at all times in Jesus name amen.

WORD FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT-WNT

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest".
Matthew 11:28
There is no load too heavy that the Lord Jesus Christ cannot lift away from me and your life, you know Jesus came for the sole purpose to heal the sick, sickness in the mind, heart, situation around, He there just for me(you). So let take time everyday to pour out our heart (troubles, anxieties, worries, insecurities) to Christ, remember He said He will never leave you, he will never forsake you (Hebrews 13:5b).

WORD REFLECTION-WR

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man”.
Ecclesiastes 12:13
There is always a choice to all situations in life, and I think we will do ourselves good by doing according to how God has design our lives to be.
Jesus Christ did in all His capacity to do the will of His Father while He was here on earth, has we are here on earth which naturally is not our home, are we doing all things right to please Him who has created us to obey and fear Him? I pray that God will grant us the grace to do according to His will in Jesus name amen.

WORD DEFINIATION-WD

Our WD for this month is STRENGTH
According to dictionary.reference.com Strength can be defined as “the inherent capacity to manifest energy, to endure and to resist”.
"My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever" (Psalms 73:26). Strength has two sides which are strength in the flesh and strength in the Spirit. You determine where your strength is anchored on is it in Christ or your flesh (which controlled by the devil).
God obligate us to love Him with our whole strength in Mark 12:30 “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment”.
