God Did Not Cast Away His People!



'God Did Not Cast Away His People.'
Romans 11:2. 
a)  God did not cast away His People which He foreknew.
b)  Don't you know what Scripture saysc)  In the passage about Elijah-
d)  How he appealed to God against Israel:
(This QT clearly shows me that God Did Not Cast Away His People.)
PRAY: Thanking God that He never casts away His People.
-----------------------------
'Apostle Paul's Growth In The Lord.'
Acts 9:22.
a)  Yet Saul grew more and more powerful
b)  And baffled the Jews living in Damascus.
c)  By proving that Jesus is the Messiah.
(Through this Second one I clearly find Apostle Paul's Growth In The Lord)
PRAY: To grow more powerful in the Lord
-----------------------------
Chris.
God does not cast away His People! This is a very clear  fact and promise of the Word of God. Whatever situation we may be in, we can always come to God and find Him there. Someone once said that: "God is only a prayer away, and that is very true. Like Elijah, let us have confidence to come to God with our prayers. He is already there to hear us!

Restoration And Leading!



'Restoration And Leading.'
Psalm 23:3. 
a)  The Lord restores my soul.
b)  He leads me
c)  In paths of righteousness
d)  For His Name's sake. 
(This QT reveals to me Restoration And Leading From The Lord)
PRAY: To experience the gifts of Restoration and Leading from the Lord in your life.
------------------------
'A Safe And Well Fed Flock.'
Micah 7:14.
a)  Shepherd Your people with Your staff,
b)  The flock of your inheritance,
c)  Who dwell alone in a forest in the midst of a garden land;
d)  Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead
e)  As in the days of old. 
(This Second one tells of a Safe And Well Fed Flock)
PRAY: For God's People to be both Safe And Well Fed.
------------------------
Chris.
This is a wonderful Promise from God: The Lord Restores My Soul! Notice the sequence here! Restoration comes before Leading. Too many Believers today want to go and do something in some form of mission or ministry before thinking about their condition and life in front of God! Definitely, Restoration comes before Leading.

What A Privilege!


'What A Privilege!'
Romans 1:5.
a)  Through Christ,
b)  God has given us
c)  The privilege and authority as Apostles
d)  To tell Gentiles everywhere
e)  What God has done for them,
f)  So that they will believe
g)  And obey Him,
h)  Bringing Glory to His Name.
(This QT causes me to exclaim; What A Privilege!)
PRAY: To understand the Privilege of telling people What God Has Done For Them.
-----------------------
'Only Jesus Was There.'
Mark 9:8.
a)  Suddenly,
b)  When they looked around,
c)  Moses and Elijah were gone,
d)  And they saw only Jesus with them.
(This Second one makes me grateful that Jesus was still there)
PRAY: Thank the Lord for His Promise to be with us,
-----------------------
Chris.
One of the main functions of the Apostolic Ministry is to make ways for non-Believers to respond to the Gospel and come to Christ. As we read the Bible, we can find this theme very easily. Not only did the Apostles motivate others to Preach the Gospel, they themselves took time to Preach the Gospel also. Every Minister, indeed every Christian, needs to be free to express the Gifts that God has given to them. Sometimes, sharing food, as in the picture, is a good way to "open the door" for preaching the Gospel.

God Did Not Cast Away His People!


'God Did Not Cast Away His People.'
Romans 11:1. 
a)  I ask then:
b)  Did God reject His People?
c)  By no means!
d)  I am an Israelite myself,
e)  A descendant of Abraham,
f)  From the Tribe of Benjamin.
(This QT reminds me that God Did Not Cast Away His People)
PRAY: To understand and Believe God's Word. 
----------------------
'A Dwelling In Which God Lives.'
Ephesians 2;22. 
a)  And in Him,
b)  You, too, are being built together
c)  To become a dwelling 
d)  In which God lives
e)  By His Spirit.
(This Second one assures me that I am A Dwelling In Which God Lives)
PRAY: To be yielded to the Holy Spirit.
----------------------
Chris.
Did God reject His People? Of course He never did. In the Old Testament it was abundantly clear that the People of God were very special. This Principle has not changed in the New Testament. God still refers to His People as "My people". God's People are always special to Him!

Our Needs Met!


'Our Needs Met.'
Psalm 23:1.
a)  The Lord is my Shepherd,
b)  I have all that I need. 
c)  Genesis 45:23. Needs for the journey.
d)  Exodus 16:4. Needs met daily. 
e)  Exodus 16:21. Needs met for the family. 
f)  Deuteronomy 15:8. Be generous, and lend them whatever they need. 
g)  1 Kings 5:8. Meeting needs as a response. 
h)  Isaiah 49:20. "We need more room, it is crowded here. 
i)  Isaiah 58:7. Give clothes and help to those who need them. 
j)  Isaiah 60:16. Every need will be satisfied.
k)  Mark 2:17. Sick people need a doctor. 
l)  Acts 17:25. The Lord satisfies every need.
(This QT reveals Our Needs Met)
PRAY: Regarding our needs to the Lord.
---------------------
'Faith.'
a)  Matthew 9:2. Jesus saw their Faith. 
b)  Matthew 9:22. Your Faith has made you well.
c)  Matthew 9:29. Jesus said: "Because of your Faith it will happen.
d)  Mark 11:22. Then Jesus said to the Disciples: "Have Faith in God"
e)  Luke 7:50. Jesus said to the woman: "Your Faith has saved you, go in peace.."
f)  Romans 3:27. can we boast then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our aquittal is not based on obeying the Law. It is based on Faith. 
g)  Romans 4:5. But people are counted as Righteous, not because of their work, but because of their Faith in God Who forgives sinners. 
h)  Romans 5:2. Because of our Faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God's Glory. 
i)  Romans 10:17. So Faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ. 
(This Second one reminds me of the importance of Faith)
PRAY: For more Faith. 
---------------------
Chris.
The most important statement and command that Jesus gave to His Disciples was and still is: "Have Faith in God". Faith that is focused merely on something is not genuine faith, it is false faith. Firstly, and most importantly, we are to Have Faith In God.

Jesus Christ Our Lord!


'Jesus Christ Our Lord!'
Romans 1:4. 
a)  And was declared to be the Son of God in power
b)  According to the Spirit of Holiness
c)  By His Resurrection from the dead,
d)  Jesus Christ our Lord,
(This QT calls to my remembrance Jesus Christ Our Lord)
PRAY: To have pure Faith in Jesus Christ Our Lord.
--------------------
'Gentile Believers.'
Acts 13:48. 
a)  And when the Gentiles heard this,
b)  They began rejoicing and glorifying the Word of the Lord,
c)  And as many as were appointed to Eternal Life believed. 
(This Second one makes me grateful to God for the pattern set by the Gentile Believers)
PRAY: For more Gentiles to believe the Word of the Lord. 
--------------------
Chris.  
We need to spend time, if we are True Believers, remembering and thinking about Jesus Christ our Lord. There is so much to ponder if we would open our Bibles and do it. This is something that is both personal and private but, if we do it our lives will experience a positive transformation.

The Lord's Words About Israel!


'The Lord's Words About Israel.'
Romans 10:21.
a)  But of Israel He says:
b)  "All day long
c)  "I have stretched out My Hands
d)  "To a disobedient and contrary people."
(This QT reminds me of the Lord's Words About Israel)
PRAY: For Israeli people to turn to the Lord. 
-------------------
'Call On The Name Of The Lord.'
Joel 2:32. 
a)  And it shall come to pass,
b)  That whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord,
c)  Shall be delivered:
d)  For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
e)  Shall be deliverance,
f)  As the Lord has said,
g)  And in the remnant whom the Lord shall call. 
(Through this Second one I desire to encourage others to Call on The Name Of The Lord)
PRAY: Calling on the Name of the Lord.
-------------------
Chris.
When praying for the Nations, it is good to take time in our prayer list to pray for specific Nations and people groups. When we Pray in such a way our desire to pray and vision for Salvation for certain people groups, grows. Vague prayer is never helpful whilst specific prayer is very meaningful.

Remember Well!


'Remember Well!
a)  Exodus 20:8. The Sabbath Day and keep it Holy. 
b)  Deuteronomy 5:15. That you were previously slaves.
c)  Deuteronomy 7:18. What the Lord our God did to Pharaoh.
d)  Deuteronomy 8:2. How the Lord your God has led you.
e)  Deuteronomy 8:18. The Lord your God, for it is He Who gives you the ability to produce wealth. 
f)  Deuteronomy 15:15. That the Lord your God redeemed you. 
g)  Nehemiah 4:14. Remember the Lord Who is Great and Awesome. 
h)  Psalm 77:11. Remember the deeds and miracles of the Lord. 
i)  Psalm 78:35. Remember that God is our Rock and Redeemer. 
j)  Isaiah 46:9. Remember the former things. 
k)  Jeremiah 14:21. Remember Your Covenant with us.
l)  Jonah 2:7. When my life was ebbing away, I remembered You, Lord, and my prayer rose to You,
m)  Matthew 5:23. Remember to reconcile.
n)  Luke 17:32. Lot's wife. 
o)  Acts 20:35. The Words of the Lord. 
p)  Ephesians 1:16. Other people in our Prayers.
(Through this QT I want to Remember Well)
PRAY: For retention of good memories.
------------------
'Good Disciples.'
1 Corinthians 11:2. 
a)  I praise you for remembering me in everything.
b)  And for holding to the traditions
c)  Just as I passed them on to you. 
(This Second one reveals to me Good Disciples)
PRAY: For Good Disciples to be raised up in the Churches.
------------------
Chris.
Sometimes we rely too much on the prayers of other people only. Just like Jonah, we need to turn to the Lord and Pray to Him. Surely He will answer our Prayers when we call to Him in sincerity. The Lord has made a Covenant with us which He will never break. 

The Promised Good News


'The Promised Good News!'
Romans 1:2. 
a)  God promised this Good News long ago
b)  Through His Prophets
c)  In the Holy Scriptures. 
(This QT gives a desire for The Promised Good News)
PRAY: To well understand The Promised Good News/
-----------------
'Eternal Promise - Eternal Life.'
Titus 1:2.
a)  In Hope of Eternal Life,
b)  Which God,
c)  Who never lies
d)  Promised before the Ages began.
(This Second one encourages me - Eternal Promise - Eternal Life)
PRAY: For the assurance of Eternal Life. 
-----------------
Chris. 
The problem of many Christians today is that they do not understand the Promised Good News. This problem makes them insecure and vulnerable to false and manipulative teaching and teachers. A simple and basic understand of the Bible will surely help the Churches and individual Believers to be free from this problem. Grace is the key-word! We are Saved by the Grace of God and we live by that Grace too.

Isaiah's Bold Statement!


'Isaiah's Bold Statement.'
Romans 10:20.
a)  Then Isaiah is so bold as to say:
b)  "I have been found by those who did not seek Me;
c)  "I have shown Myself
d)  "To those who did not ask for Me."
(This QT reveals Isaiah's Bold Statement about the Lord)
PRAY: Seeking and Asking for the Lord.
-------------
'He Saved Us.'
Titus 3:5.
a)  God our Saviour saved us,
b)  Not by works done by us in righteousness,
c)  But according to His Own Mercy,
d)  By the washing of Regeneration
e)  And renewal of the Holy Spirit,
(This Second one gives me a secure joy, He Saved Us)
PRAY: For continual assurance that God our Saviour has saved you.
--------------
Chris.
Isaiah made a bold statement and we can find many other bold statements written in God's Word that give us a good foundation for our Faith. This Faith which we have is surely a Gift from God and has nothing to do with our own efforts. Our necessity is surely to seek and ask for the Lord.

Severe Rejection!


'Severe Rejection.'
Genesis 17:14.
a)  Any male
b)  Who fails to be circumcised
c)  Will be cut off
d)  From the Covenant Family
e)  For breaking the Covenant.
(This QT reveals a Severe Rejection)
PRAY: For those people in our Families and Churches who suffer from Severe Rejection.
------------
'When Everything Was Ready.'
Genesis 7:1. 
a)  When everything was ready,
b)  The Lord said to Noah:
c)  "Go into the boat with all of your family,
d)  "For among all the people of the Earth,
e)  "I can see that you, alone, are Righteous.
(This Second one reveals perfect timing to me: When Everything Was Ready)
PRAY: To be sensitive to God's perfect timing.
------------
Chris.
One of the most painful experiences to live in or go through is the experience of Rejection. A rejected person finds it very difficult to have calm and good relationships with other people. At the root of many family relationship problems lies Rejection. When I was more active in ministry I taught about this subject many times. Only the Cross of Christ and the rejection that He bore, can bring hope and healing to God's People from the problem of Rejection. PICTURE & PRAY: For housewives who struggle with rejection because of lack of appreciation and gratefulness from their families.

Paul!


'Paul.'
Romans 1:1.
a)  Paul,
b)  A servant of Christ Jesus,
c)  Called to be an Apostle,
d)  Set apart for the Gospel of God.
(This QT gives me a clear understanding of Apostle Paul's Ministry)
PRAY: For True Ministers to be raised up by God in the Churches today.
-----------
'The Called Ones.'
a)  Romans 1:6. Called to belong to Jesus Christ.
b)  Romans 1:7. Called to be saints. 
c)  Romans 8:28. Called to belong to God's Purpose. 
d)  1 Corinthians 1:1. Called by the Will of God.
e)  1 Corinthians 1:2. Called to be Saints.
(This Second one give me great pleasure in that I am amongst the many Called Ones)
PRAY: To be thankful to God Who includes us amongst The Called Ones.
-----------
Chris.
The Ministry of Apostle Paul inspires us when we read about it because he himself was inspired by God. There are many different aspects of the Ministry of Apostle Paul that we can simply find as we read the New Testament. To study the Word of God and to study within the Word of God are both beneficial.

Did Israel Not Understand?


'Did Israel Not Understand?'
Romans 10:19.
a)  But I ask,
b)  "Did Israel not understand?"
c)  First, Moses said: 
d)  "I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation;
e)  "I will make you angry by a nation that lacks understanding."
(This QT gives me the question: Did Israel Not understand?)
PRAY: For Jewish people to come to know Jesus Christ.
----------
'Do Not Trust In Or Desire Fabulous Wealth.'
Revelation 18:17.
a)  For in a single hour such fabulous wealth has been destroyed!
b)  Every:
1-Ship master.
2-Passenger.
3-Sailor.
4-One who makes their living from the sea. 
c)  Will stand at a distance.
(Through this Second one I heed the Word of God: Do Not Trust In Or Desire Fabulous Wealth)
PRAY: Not to put our trust in wealth but rather put our trust in the Lord.
----------
Chris.
God knew the fickle hearts of His People, He could actually make them have jealous hearts and all would be resolved in they put their trust in Him. The Jewish people need to come to accept and know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour too! This is Biblical, that we pray for the Salvation of the Jewish People. PICTURE: We should simply enjoy God's Provision!

Slaves Were Included In The Covenant!


'Slaves Were Included In The Covenant.'
Genesis 17:13.
a)  Both the slave born in your house
b)  And the one bought with your money
c)  Must be circumcised.
d)  So shall My Covenant
e)  Be in your flesh
f)  An everlasting Covenant.
(This QT reminds me that Slaves Were Included In The Covenant)
PRAY: For slaves, in Nations that still have them, to be able to hear and respond to the Gospel.
---------
'A Double Truthful Denial.'
Deuteronomy 21:7. 
a)  And the Elders shall declare:
b)  "Our hands did not shed this blood,
c)  "Nor were witnesses to it."
(This Second one reveals A Double Truthful Denial)
PRAY: For Elders in our Churches to be Truthful Men of God.
---------
Chris.
We should never belittle the Power and Extent of God's Covenants. When we study the Covenants in the Bible, we can find that they are deep and meaningful. God never takes Covenants lightly. It does not matter if the person is a king or a slave, when God makes His Covenant with them, it is final and unbreakable. 

Tuesday, June 16, 2020

Frustration!


'Frustration.'
a)  Ecclesiastes 5:17. Is associated with affliction and anger. 
b)  Ecclesiastes 7:3. Is better than laughter.
c)  Romans 8:20. The Creation was subjected to frustration. 
(This QT reminds me that Frustration is quite normal)
PRAY: For Grace to overcome Frustration.
-----------
'We Need To Be Rooted.'
Matthew 13:21. 
a)  But since they have no root,
b)  They last only a short time.
c)  When trouble or persecution comes because of the Word,
d)  They quickly fall away. 
(Through this Second one I know that I Need To Be Rooted)
PRAY: To be rooted in the Lord. 
-----------
Chris.
Without exception, every True Believer needs to be rooted in the Lord. This means personal Prayer and Bible Study as well as general Church activities. One of the greatest evidences of genuine personal Faith is humility. Within this humility is a desire for a closer "walk with the Lord". That cannot ever be a negative desire. 

Monday, June 15, 2020

They Have Heard The Message!


'They Have Heard The Message.'
Romans 10:18.
a)  But I ask:
b)  "Didn't they hear that Message?"
c)  Certainly they did!
d)  "The voice of the messengers has gone out into the whole World
e)  And their words to the ends of the Earth."
(This QT reminds me that They Have Heard The Message)
PRAY: That the non-Believers will hear the Message of the Gospel.
----------
'Because Of God's Compassion Towards Us.'
Romans 12:1. 
a)  Brothers and Sisters,
b)  Because of God's Compassion toward us,
c)  I encourage you to offer your bodies as living sacrifices,
d)  Dedicated to God
e)  And pleasing to Him.
f)  This kind of Worship is appropriate for you. 
(This Second one teaches me the response to God's Compassion)
PRAY: To respond to God's Compassion in a real and truthful way.
-----------
Chris.
Please pray for the True Missionaries of the Lord Jesus Christ. These people are willing to go to the ends of the Earth, even risking their lives, that non-Believers may hear the Good News of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. They go out to places where the Gospel has never been heard. They usually need to learn a language and customs that are totally strange to them. They lay down the lifestyles that they are accustomed to and enter, with humility, a new lifestyle. 

Sunday, June 14, 2020

Every Jewish Associated Male Child!


'Every Jewish Associated Male Child.'
Genesis 17:12. 
a)  He who is eight days old among you.
b)  Every male throughout your generations,
c)  Whether born in your house
d)  Or bought with your money
e)  From any foreigner who is not of your offspring
f)  Must be circumcised. 
(This QT refers to Every Jewish Associated Male Child)
PRAY:  For Jewish Associated Male Children to be Born Again!
---------
'Eighth Day - Circumcision And Naming.'
Luke 1:59. 
a)  And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child.
b)  And they would have called him Zechariah, 
c)  After his father.
(Through this Second one I find the eighth day Jewish Practice)
PRAY: To discern what is relevant for today and what is merely historical.
----------
Chris.
The Jewish people were allowed to buy the male children from any foreigner who lived among them. This was an historical situation and not really relevant for these days. Much of the Bible gives us glimpses into Jewish History and Culture. Of course, we do not follow these ways and things but they give us some idea about Jewish History. 

Saturday, June 13, 2020

The Anxious Longing Of The Creation!


'The Anxious Longing Of The Creation.'
Romans 8:19.
a)  For the anxious longing of the Creation
b)  Waits eagerly
c)  For the revealing of
d)  The sons of God. 
(This QT reveals to me The Anxious Longing Of The Creation)
PRAY: For this anxious longing to be revealed.
--------
'The Building.'
a)  1 Kings 9:1. Solomon finished the building of the House of the Lord.
b)  2 Chronicles 3:3. Solomon was instructed for the building of the House of the Lord. 
c)  Ezra 4:1. The building of the Temple of the Lord God of Israel. 
d)  Jude 1:20. But ye, Beloved, building up yourselves on your most Holy Faith, praying by the Holy Spirit,
(Through this Second one I find the importance of The Building)
PRAY: For our Faith to be built up.
--------
Chris.
Creation is waiting eagerly for the sons of God to be revealed. Many of us who are reading this QT would call ourselves: sons or daughters of God. We are convinced that this revelation is going to happen and we have an anxious longing for it to happen. It is important that we continue with our good relationship with God. 

Friday, June 12, 2020

Faith Comes!


'Faith Comes.'
Romans 10:17.
a)  So Faith comes from hearing,
b)  And hearing 
c)  Through the Word of Christ.
(This QT reminds me that Faith Comes)
PRAY: To be sensitive to the coming of Faith.
-------
'Our Patient Lord.'
2 Peter 3:9. 
a)  The Lord is not slow in keeping His Promise,
b)  As some understand slowness.
c)  Instead He is patient with you,
d)  Not wanting anyone to perish,
e)  But everyone to come to repentance.
(This Second one helps me to understand more of My Patient Lord)
PRAY: Giving Thanks to Our Patient Lord.
-------
Chris.
Complaining people are never sensitive to Faith! The problem for complaining people is that all there thoughts and attention is on themselves. If we can actually take our eyes and thoughts off ourselves and turn them towards the Lord, we will actually experience a positive life change. THE PICTURE: Reminds me of a person without Faith. They surround themselves with all kinds of emotional and physical protection but cannot live in Freedom.

Thursday, June 11, 2020

Covenant Signs Are Important!


'Covenant Signs Are Important,'
Genesis 17:11.
a)  God said this to His Old Testament People:
b)  You must cut off the flesh of your foreskin
c)  As a sign
d)  Of the Covenant between Me and you. 
(This QT teaches me that Covenant Signs Are Important)
PRAY: To always remember the Covenant that God has made with us.
------
'Not To Be Forgotten.'
Exodus 28:9. 
a)  And you shall take two onyx stones,
b)  And engrave on them
c)  The Names
d)  Of the Sons of Israel.
(Through this Second one I know that there are things Not To Be Forgotten)
PRAY: Not to forget the things that God wants us to remember.
------
Chris. 
There is a lot of talk in the Churches today about 'Covenants', most of this talk is not Biblically based at all. This kind of talk can lead to people being controlled by making them feel guilty. There should be no room for such control in the Churches. The most important Covenant by far is the Covenant that God has made with us through the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son! PICTURE: We are branches attached to the Main - who is Jesus Christ.

Worthy Of Consideration!


'Worthy Of Consideration.'
Romans 8:18.
a)  I consider that our present sufferings
b)  Are not worth comparing with
c)  The Glory that will be revealed
d)  In us.
(This QT reminds me of what is Worthy Of Consideration)
PRAY: To make our considerations in the Light of God's Word.
-----
'Be Transformed.'
Romans 12:2. 
a)  Do not be conformed to the pattern of this World,
b)  But be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
c)  Then you will be able to test and approve what God's Will is -
d)  His good, pleasing and perfect Will.
(This Second one encourages me to Be Transformed)
PRAY: To Be Transformed.
-----
Chris.
I should concentrate on the things that are Worthy of Consideration. I really do not like listening to things that are simply gossip or jealous talk. There are people talking and writing about things Worthy of Consideration, it is good to concentrate on those things.

Lord! Who Has Believed Our Message?



'Lord! Who Has Believed Our Message?'
Romans 10:16. 
a)  But they have not all obeyed the Gospel.
b)  For Isaiah says: 
c)  "Who has believed our Message?"
(This QT causes me to Pray for Gospel Preachers)
PRAY: That hearers will become Believers.
----
'Isaiah Knew.'
Isaiah 53:1. 
a)  Who has Believed what he has heard from us?
b)  And to whom
c)  Has the Arm of the Lord been revealed?
(Through this Second one I know that Isaiah Knew)
PRAY: To understand Isaiah 53 well.
----
Chris.
When we do not understand, we can pray! This not only covers our understanding of the Word of God, but it also covers every aspect of our lives. I have had several experiences in my life that I could not understand, all I could and can do is trust God at those times.

The First Sign Of The Covenant!


'The First Sign Of The Covenant.'
Genesis 17:10.
a)  This is My Commandment with you 
b)  And your descendants after you,
c)  Which you are to keep:
d)  Every male among you
e)  Must be circumcised.
(This QT reveals The First Sign Of The Covenant)
PRAY: To keep the Covenants that God has made with us. We are to be Covenant Keepers.
---
'Religious Accusations.'
John 9:16. 
a)  Because of this
b)  Some of the Pharisees said:
c)  "This Man is not from God,
d)  "For He does not keep the Sabbath."
e)  But others said: 
f)  "How can a sinful man perform such signs?"
g)  And there was a division among them.
(Through this Second one I am aware of Religious Accusations)
PRAY: To overcome Religious Accusations.
---
Chris.
The Book of Genesis is "The Book of Beginnings", it is actually the best place to start reading the Bible about God's dealings with humanity. 'Hopping around the Scriptures' is no substitute for methodical and systematic Bible Reading. We should read our Bibles Carefully and Prayerfully!

Sunday, June 7, 2020

Be Grateful To God!


'Be Grateful To God!
Psalm 100:4.
a)  Enter His Gates with Thanksgiving
b)  And His Courts with Praise;
c)  Give thanks to Him
d)  And Praise His Name.
(This QT calls me to Be Grateful To God)
PRAY: Being Grateful To God.
------------------
'Just Do It.'
James 5:13.
a)  Is anyone among you in trouble?
b)  Let them pray.
c)  Is anyone happy?
d)  Let them sing songs of Praise.
(Through this Second one I understand the exhortation: Just Do It!)
PRAY: To just do it.
------------------
Chris.
Psalm 100 encourages us to Praise and Worship the Lord! Shouting with Joy before the Lord, Worshiping the Lord. Coming before the Lord with Joyful songs. Acknowledging that the Lord is God and that we belong to Him. We are the sheep of His Pasture ... all of this encourages us to Praise and Worship the Lord.

Gospel Preachers Need To Be Sent!


'Gospel Preachers Need To Be Sent.'
Romans 10:15.

'Pray Earnestly For This.'
Matthew 9:38.
a)  Pray Earnestly 
b)  To the Lord of the Harvest
c)  To send out laborers 
d)  Into His Harvest. 
(This Second one urges me to Pray Earnestly For This)
PRAY: For the Lord of the Harvest to send out laborers.

There is a great need in the UK for anointed Gospel Preachers to be raised up by God. Maybe some of these ministers will be full time Evangelists and others regular Church members with a vision for evangelism. These people are necessary, mostly genuinely called by God and humbly serve Him. Please pray for more of them!

Keeping God's Covenant must take a place of High Priority in the Believer's life. We should not be forgetfully ignorant of God's Word, we should be Faithful Doers of it. The Truth is that the best way of remembering God's Word is by doing it! God's Word is not just to be read, it is to be lived out. PICTURE: Food from a Promised Land.
