THE VICTORIOUS WAY


Scriptural Reading: Colossians 3:1-16

Text: "Set your minds on things above        (Col 3:1)


COMMENTARY

I answered, "My time before the Lord in the morning begins the night before," in response to someone discussing my time with the Lord. I have made the decision that I will not allow the national network news to be the final thought I have before turning in for the night. You may think about what you went to sleep with throughout the night and wake up with thoughts about it. The night before starts the morning time spent alone with God. I protect my thoughts because of this. "Set your mind on things above" is what the Bible teaches. Col. 3:3. This is one surefire method of protecting our hearts against the enemy's flaming arrows.

If we want to live a successful Christian life, we must not take this matter lightly. Our innermost thoughts might drag us down and prevent us from waking up with the proper mindset. Although it is difficult, maintaining the proper attitude is crucial. It can be farmed, though.

Thus, make the decision to sleep with your thoughts focused on Christ, the splendors of our calling, and the assurance that our God is dependable in spite of whatever may be going on in the world right now.

So, go to God in devotion before you sleep.

Prayer Points:

1. Lord Jesus, my times are in Thy hand and I wish them there.

2. Dear Lord, may I never loose focus from You throughout my life in Jesus name.

3. Grant me Lord the benefits of mind set on You and let my generation be affected by my focus on You in Jesus name.

Sleeping Capsule                                            Real Christians celebrate victories before they see them.

THE GOD OF COVENANT

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Image
Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
