Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

What do you believe to be the most important things in life? Are you seeking fame, finances, long life, or relationships? Jesus said that if we would seek first the Kingdom of God, all the other things that we need and pursue, that He would supply them for us. To truly seek His Kingdom, we must first seek Jesus Christ, the King of the Kingdom!

Psalm 37:4 (NKJV) – “Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.”

Lord Jesus, I want You to be my greatest treasure and the joy of my life. I desire to pursue You with my whole heart. Create in me a desire for even more of You. Lord, help me make You the central focus of my life.

Today, I’m worshiping with Israel Houghton and “More and More.”

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,

God is delighted when we demonstrate His love to the others.

1 Timothy 5:21 (NKJV) – “I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing with partiality.”

God wants us to treat everyone as He treats us, not as we might think they deserve to be treated. Like us, they too were created in God’s very own image and likeness. We cannot be partial to one person while being prejudiced against another and think that God is pleased.

We all need God’s love and acceptance. People around us are broken and suffering. Shouldn’t we try to see them as God does? God might tell us something about them that will help us minister to their hearts.

Father, help us to always love others, regardless of their personalities, ethnicity, class, or status, and regardless of where they live. Help us to live without prejudice or partiality, and to treat everyone as our equals, as people who are like us, and who needed a Redeemer.

Today, I’m worshiping with Fifty Nations as they sing “Amazing Grace.”

Greetings,

When you first give your heart to God, one of the lies that the enemy will tell you is that now you must be perfect. Of course he is lying. He knows that you are still human and will fail. When you do make a mistake and come to realize that you’re still living in a weak and imperfect body, he will then loudly declare that you’ve sinned, and therefore God will certainly and sternly reject you. The next tactic he will employ will be to make you feel overwhelmed with shame.

How do you defeat these lies of the enemy? One way is to live in a continual state of humility before the Lord. All we have to say is, “Lord, I thank You that I stand forgiven though I am weak. Forgive me for each time that I have failed You. I thank You for grace.”

David sinned horribly, but he found mercy. That was even before Christ had come to earth to atone for our sins. How much more is forgiveness available to those who stumble today, after we consider what Jesus did on the cross for us? When you’ve blown it, don’t listen to the enemy. Instead pray as David did:

Psalm 51:1 (NKJV) – “Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions.”

Father, today I thank You for the blood of Jesus that cleanses my heart from all sin and unrighteousness. Forgive me where I have erred. I thank You today that I am clean in Your sight. Not because of anything I’ve done, but because of the sacrifice of my Lord and Savior.

Today, I’m worshiping with Donnie McClurkin and “Create in Me a Clean Heart.”

Greetings,

Over the many years, from the days long before the psalmist David until now, song writers have tried to describe how wonderful God is. In spite of their eloquence and passion, human words still fall short when attempting to portray our Lord’s love, magnificence and glory. Among the wonders we cannot explain, one that overwhelms us, is to think about Jesus leaving the splendors of heaven that we could experience the riches of knowing Him.

This scripture is one of my very favorites:

2 Corinthians 8:9 (NKJV) – “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.”

For our sakes, He became poor! Christ did this for every one of us! Isn’t that amazing?

Lord Jesus, I thank You for all that You have done for me. I am in awe of Your great sacrifice on my behalf. You did it all that we might become the children of God! Such love and devotion are too glorious to comprehend. I love You!

Today, I’m worshiping with Hillsong and “Broken Vessels.”
