KNOWLEDGE
Saturday, December 4th, 2010But thanks be to God, Who always leads us in triumphal
procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere
the fragrance of the knowledge of Him.
For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who
are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one
we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life.
And who is equal to such a task? Unlike so many, we do not
peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ
we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God.
(II. Corinthians 2.14-17).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
GRACE
Friday, November 19th, 2010Grace be to all of you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I give thanks to my God for you always when I mention you in my prayers,
Because I continue to hear of your love and of your loyal faith which you have
toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the consecrated people of God.
And I pray that the participation in and sharing of your faith may produce
and promote full recognition and appreciation, understanding and precise
knowledge of every good thing that is ours in (our identification with) Christ
Jesus (and unto His glory).
(Philemon 1.3-6).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010God be merciful and gracious to us and bless us and cause
His face shine upon us and among us- Selah ( pause and calmly
think of that)!-
That Your way may be known upon the earth, Your saving power
among all nations.
Let the peoples praise You and give thanks to You, O God.
Let all the peoples praise and give thanks to You.
(Psalm 67.1-3).

O GIVE THANKS
Thursday, November 26th, 2009O GIVE THANKS
O Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His
mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has
delivered from the hand of the adversary,
And gathered them out of the lands, from the east
and from the west, from the north and from the sea
in the south.
Some wondered in the wilderness in a solitary desert
track, they found no city for habitation.
Hungry and thirsty, they fainted, their lives were near
to being extinguished.
then they cried to the Lord in their trouble and He
delivered them out of their distresses.
He led them forth by the straight and right way, that
they might go to a city where they could establish their
homes.
Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and
loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children
of men!
For He satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with good.
Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in
affliction and in irons.
Because they had rebelled against the words of God and spurned
the counsel of the Most High.
Therefore He bowed down their hearts with hard labor, they
stumbled and fell down and there was no one to help.
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble and He saved them
out of their distresses.
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and
broke apart the bonds that held them.
Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and loving-
kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men!
For He has broken the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron.
Some are fools because of the way of their transgressions and
are afflicted because of their iniquities.
They loath every kind of food and they draw near to the gates of death.
Then they cry to the Lord in their trouble and He delivers them out
of their distresses.
He sends forth His Word and rescues them from the pit and destruction.
Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and loving-kindness
and His wonderful works to the children of men!
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving and rehearse His
deeds with shouts of joy and singing!
Some go down to the sea and travel over it in ships to do business
in great waters.
These see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep.
For he commands and raises up the stormy wind,which lifts
up the waves of the sea.
Those aboard mount up to the heavens, they go down again
to the deeps, their courage melts away because of their plight.
They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man and are
at their wits’ end, all their wisdom has come to nothing.
Then they cry to the Lord in their trouble and He brings them
out of their distresses.
He hushes the storm to a calm and to a gentle whisper, so that
the waves of the sea are still.
Then the men are glad because of the calm, and He brings them
to their desired haven.
Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and loving-
kindness and wonderful works to the children of men!
Let them exalt Him also in the congregation of the people and
praise Him in the company of the elders.
He turns rivers into a wilderness, water springs into a thirsty ground.
A fruitful land into a barren, salt waste, because of the wickedness of
those who dwell in it.
He turns a wilderness into a pool of water and a dry ground into water
springs.
And there He makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city
for habitation,
And sow fields and plant vineyads which yield fruits of increase.
He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and
allows not their cattle to decrease.
When they are diminished and bowed down through oppression,
trouble and sorrow,
He pours contempt upon princes and causes them to wonder in
waste places where there is no road.
Yet He raises the poor and needy from affliction and makes their
families like a flock.
The upright shall see it and be glad, but all iniquity shall shut its mouth.
Whoso is wise will observe and heed these things and they will diligently
consider the mercy and loving-kindness of the Lord.
(Psalm107).
PRAISE THE LORD! THANK YOULORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
GOD’S HOUSEHOLD
Saturday, November 7th, 2009And He designed to reconcile to God
both Jew and Gentile united in a single
body by means of His cross, thereby
killing the enmity and bringing the feud
to an end.
And He came and preached the glad tidings
to you who were afar off and peace to those
who were near.
For it is through Him that we both (whether far
off or near) now have an introduction (access)
by one (Holy) Spirit to the Father ( so that we
are able to approach Him).
Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles,
migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights
of citizens), but you now share citizenship with
the saints (God’s own people, consecrated and
set apart for Himself), and you belong to God’s
household.
(Ephesians 2.16-19).
POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE
1) We are no longer strangers to God.
God is our Father. We are His children.
We know Him intimately through Jesus
Christ and by the Holy Spirit.
2) The Holy Spirit communicates His
deep love to us and our deepest concerns
back to Him.
3) We are God’s household thanks to Jesus
Christ.
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!
H
Really Free
Thursday, September 24th, 2009REALLY FREE
There is therefore now no condemnation
to those who are in Christ Jesus,
who do not walk according to the flesh,
but according to the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life
in Christ Jesus has freed me
from the law of sin and death.
( Romans 8.1 and 2).
INSPIRATION FOR
THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE
Consider these:
1) The meaning of true freedom.
2) Declared: “Not guilty!” by God Himself.
3) Being in Christ Jesus.
4) Walking according to the Spirit.
5) The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
sets us free from the law of sin and death.
Every one of these points are of monumental
importance and deserve in- depth exploration.
Meditate and reflect on each of these.
REMEMBER HIS WORKS
Sunday, September 6th, 2009REMEMBER HIS WORKS
Praise the Lord!
I will praise and give thanks
to the Lord with my whole heart
in the council of the upright and
in the congregation.
The works of the Lord are great,
sought out by all those who have
delight in them.
His work is honorable and glorious
and His righteousness endures forever.
He has made His wonderful works to be
remembered.
The Lord is gracious, merciful and full
of loving compassion.
He has given food and provision to those
who reverently and worshipfully fear Him,
He will remember His covenant forever
and imprint it.
He has declared and shown to His people
the power of His works in giving them the
heritage of the nations.
The works of His hands are absolute truth
and justice.
All His decrees and precepts are sure.
They stand fast and are established forever
ever and are done in truth and uprigthness.
He has redeemed His people
He has commanded His covenant forever.
Holy is His name, inspiring awe, reverence
and godly fear.
The reverent fear and worship of the Lord is
the beginning of wisdom and skill.
A good understanding have all those who do
the will of the Lord.
Their praise of Him endures forever.
( Psalm 111).
Consider the following:
1) The Lord’s work is creation and salvation.
2) His work is blessing, grace, mercy and compassion.
3) Our admiration and appreciation increase as we are
made aware of His power to establish truth, justice and
righteousness.
4) Reverent respect of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is
the first essential step and prerequisite starting point of
wisdom for life.
