be gracious to me! O Lord, be

my helper!

You have turned my mourning

into dancing for me. You have

put off sackcloth and girded me

with gladness,

To the end that my tongue and

my heart and everything glorious

within me may sing praise to You

and not be silent. O Lord my God,

I will give thanks to You forever.

(Psalm 30.10-12).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need

but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue, but with actions

and in truth. This then is how we know that we belong to the truth,

and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence whenever our

hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and He knows

everything.

(I.John 3.16-20).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

for not merely his own interests, but also each for the

interests of others.

Let this attitude and purpose and humble mind be in you

which was in Christ Jesus:

Who, although being essentially one with God and in the

form of God, did not think this equality with God was a

thing to be eagerly grasped or retained,

But stripped Himself of all privileges and rightful dignity,

so as to assume the guise of a servant, in that He became

like men and was born a human being.

And after He had appeared in  human form, He abased

and humbled Himself still further and carried His obedience

to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross!

Therefore God has highly exalted Him and has freely

bestowed on Him the Name that is above every name,

That in the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, in

heaven and on earth and under the earth,

And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.

fear God, and I will declare what He has done for me!

I cried aloud to Him. He was extolled and high praise was

under my tongue.

If I regard iniquity in my heart,  the Lord will not hear me.

But certainly God has heard me. He has given heed to the

voice of my prayer.

Blessed be God, Who has not rejected my prayer nor removed

His mercy and loving-kindness from being with me.

(Psalm 66. 16-20).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

Therefore, if there is any consolation

in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any

fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection

and mercy,

Fulfill my joy by being like minded,

having the same love, being of one

accord, of one mind.

Let nothing be done through selfish

ambition or conceit, but in lowliness

of mind let each esteem others better

than himself.

Let each of you look out not only for

his own interests, but also for the

interests of others.

Let this mind be in you which was also

in Christ Jesus,

Who, although being essentially one

with God and in the form of God

(possessing the fullness of the attributes

which make God Who He Is), did not

think this equality with God was a thing

to be eagerly grasped or retained,

But stripped Himself of all privileges

and rightful dignity, so as to assume

the guise of a servant, in that He became

like men and was born a human being.

And after He had appeared in human form,

He abased and humbled Himself still further

and carried His obedience to the extreme

of death, even the death of of the cross!

Therefore (because He stooped so low)

God has highly exalted Him and has

freely bestowed on Him the name that is

above every name,

That at the name of Jesus every knee must

bow, in heaven and on earth and under

the earth,

And every tongue frankly and openly confess

and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.

(Philippians 2.1-11).

POINTS FOR REFLECTION AND PRAYER

1) Jesus Christ is the One above every

name that every one will eventually worship.

2) Our attitude must be just like his.

The attitude of humility. He came down

to earth to serve. We should also put the

needs of our fellow humans first. This is

the transformed character God desires.

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!

And so that you can know and comprehend

what is the immesurable and unlimited,

surpassing greatness of His power in

and for us who believe, as demonstrated

in the working of His mighty strength,

Which He exerted in Christ when He raised

Him from the dead and seated Him at

His right hand in the heavenly places,

Far above all rule and authority,

power, dominion and every name that

is named ( above every title that can be

conferred) not only in this age and this

world, but also in the in the age and the

world which are to come.

( Ephesians 1.19-21).

POINTS FOR PRAISE

AND MEDITATION:

1) Understanding, comprehending,

in fact knowing how powerful His

power is in and for us who believe.

2) This is the same RESURRECTION

POWER  He exerted when Jesus Christ

was raised from the dead and is now

seated in heavenly places interceding

in  our behalf.

3) His rule, dominion, authority is

indeed the highest and greatest ever.

His is the greatest power that will ever

exist in the future world to come as well.

4) His name is the most powerful name

and at the name of Jesus every knee

shall bow and every tongue will confess

that Jesus Christ is Lord

to the glory of the Father.

HALLELUJAH! AMEN!
