I just wanted to remind us of what William Booth, the founder of Salvation Army, said
“The greatness of a man’s power is the measure of his surrender.”
Lord open the eyes of our hearts to see the beauty of submitting our lives unto You.
Jesus is stronger Vs Sin is broken
Let us always remember that God is watching. Jesus is still on His Throne – Walk with Him. Whenever we are standing in our strength we fail. But when we stand on Jesus the solid rock-He is able. He is stronger. Sin is broken.
Memory verse:
Hebrews 12:29 (NIV)
For our “God is a consuming fire.”
Thought:
Hebrews: 12 1-4
God Disciplines His Sons
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
Commitment
Commitment
Words: And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1Cor 13:13.
For God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable. Rom 11:29
Thought: If we need more of God’s love and power, we must be willing to carry out the responsibilities He gives us.
Prayer For The Day:
I look at my dedication to you, Jesus,
my Lord and Savior, and am ashamed – you gave
everything for me. May i always live totally committed in love to you.
(Adapted from Day by Day with Billy Graham)
Great Commission
Word:
When He (Jesus) was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each other “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” Luke 24: 30-32
Thought:
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 2 Cor 4:4
Prayer:
Dear God open our eyes to see the mission fields that are ready for harvest. Help us see with a moving compassion the multitudes of people without someone to show them the way. In Jesus name. Amen.
Jesus paid it all
Memory verse:
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8 (NIV)
Thought :
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow
Be humble and obedient
Be humble and obedient:

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow;
it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.
Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are -yet was without sin. Hebrews 4:12-15 (NIV)
Memory verse
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Hebrews 4:16 (NIV)
Purpose of God’s word
“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. Isa 55:10-11
Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults. Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. Ps 19: 11-14
Living witness
Memory verse
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12 : 21

“prepare to meet your God, O Israel” Amos 4:12b
Wisdom from God
Thought
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Rom 16:20
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.1Cor 1:30
Memory verse
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 1 Thes 5:11
Encourage others in Christ the solid rock
Encourage others in Christ the solid rock
Thought of the week:
When they arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the half shekel [the temple tax] went up to Peter and said, Does not your Teacher pay the half shekel? He answered, Yes. And when he came home, Jesus spoke to him [about it] first, saying, What do you think, Simon? From whom do earthly rulers collect duties or tribute–from their own sons or from others not of their own family? And when Peter said, From other people not of their own family, Jesus said to him, Then the sons are exempt.
However, in order not to give offense and cause them to stumble [that is, to cause them to judge unfavorably and unjustly] go down to the sea and throw in a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find there a shekel *. Take it and give it to them to pay the temple tax for Me and for yourself. Mat 17: 24-27.
*a shekel = 11.44 grams
