Mercy Truimphs Over Judgment


And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”  John 8:7 (ESV).

Dear Lord Jesus, on  number of occasions you were saddened by my attitude of self-righteousness, judgmental behaviours, and manipulative habits towards others.  However, as I now reflect, you did not condemn me but graciously guided me to repent and forsake those acts of unrighteousness.   May I learn to be merciful and compassionate towards others and becoming more like you Jesus.  Dear Lord, let your unconditional love, great mercy and amazing grace flow and refresh those who need a divine touch today.  In your mightly name Jesus, I pray.

Deeper Communion With The Holy Spirit

Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'" Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 7:38-39 (ESV).

Lord Jesus, having the Holy Spirit is having eternal life, and experiencing life in the Spirit. May I have more of you Holy Spirit and enjoy a greater sense of your presence. May i experience more love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, kindness, patience and self-control. Let the walk with you today be a deeper knowing of you. Thank you Holy Spirit that you will be. teaching and guiding me at different intervals throughout the day. In Jesus' name I give thanks.

Heart Pure Work Pleasing

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. James 1:27 (ESV).

Heavenly Father, help me not to lose sight of the marginalised in the community and even those living in nations around me. May my desire to keep my heart pure motivate me to share with the poor and sick what I have received from you. Thanks Father for this timely reminder. In Jesus' name I pray.

Complete Healing Righteous Living

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. 1 Peter 2:24-25 (ESV).

Dear Lord Jesus, by your wounds I have been healed - spirit born again, soul renewed everyday, and body made whole. This experience enables me to have a righteous relationship with God, and empowers me to live righteously in His sight. I know that I am home now with you as my caring and loving Shepherd. Teach me to hear your voice daily to overcome common daily distractions that can easily become a barrier to listen to the still small voice in my spirit. I want to experience the joy of obeying you and the faith to believe the supernatural as i submit to the Holy Spirit's leading today. In Jesus' name I pray.

Indeed No More Condemnation

Jesus stood up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more." John 8:10-11 (ESV).

Lord Jesus, no one sin is so great that it cannot be forgiven by you for all kinds of sin have been washed by your blood. Truly I declare now again I am no longer condemned. Never. It is finished! I have right standing and right relationship with God forever. Thank you Jesus!

God Provides In The Place Where His Altar Is

When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here am I." He said, "Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me." And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called the name of that place, "The LORD will provide"; as it is said to this day, "On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided." Genesis 22:9-14 (ESV).

Dear Heavenly Father, like Abraham I want to build an altar for you where in this meeting place, you shall provide me with all that I need. You shall empower me to love you, to serve you, to bless others and to be faithful to my holy calling. Oh Father, I know this altar I am building is an altar of obedience to walk with you, faithfulness to serve you, love to enjoy intimacy with you, and worship to express the fear of the Lord for who you are to me. I truly believe this altar in my heart is made possible by my Lord Jesus, whose altar at the place of Calvary about 2000 years ago, enabling me to receive every provision to live a life of love, faith and hope. Thank you Heavenly Father that my heart shall always be an altar unto you. In Jesus' name I pray.

Abundance Overflows With Purpose

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21 (ESV).

Dear Heavenly Father, there are so many things you would want me to have and experience even beyond all my imaginations. Help me to have a deeper reality of your desire to have my cup overflow with abundance so that your glory shall permeate in places filled with darkness, poverty, and death. I want to be such vessel to release the mighty power of God to heal the sick, feed the poor and set captives free. Oh Father, stretch forth your hand of protection upon these people till they are touched by your mercy, grace, healing, restoration, deliverance and salvation. In Jesus' name I ask.
