July 27th 2023 – Living a Life of Honor, Reflect God’s Character

Leave a reply

As followers of Christ, let us embrace the transformative power of honor in our lives. By honoring God, others, and ourselves, we reflect the character of our Heavenly Father to a world in need of His love and grace. May every word we speak, every action we take, and every thought we entertain be infused with the essence of honor. Let us be known as a people who uplift, inspire, and bring honor to our Lord, leaving a lasting legacy of love and integrity.

Proverbs 3:3-4 – “Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man

1. Honoring God: Honor begins with recognizing the greatness and majesty of our Heavenly Father. God is the source of all honor, worthy of our utmost reverence and respect. When we honor God, we acknowledge His sovereignty, obey His commands, and seek to live in alignment with His will. Our lives become a testimony to His glory, as we reflect His love, grace, and truth to the world around us.

2. Honoring Others: In a world marked by selfishness and disregard for one another, honoring others becomes a transformative act that sets us apart as followers of Christ. Jesus taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves, and honoring others is an expression of that love. When we honor others, we treat them with dignity, respect, and kindness. We value their worth, appreciate their uniqueness, and seek to build them up rather than tear them down.

3. Honoring Ourselves: While humility is essential in our Christian walk, it is equally important to recognize our intrinsic value as children of God. Honoring ourselves means embracing the truth that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, created in the image of our Heavenly Father. When we honor ourselves, we take care of our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. We cultivate a healthy self-esteem, grounded in God’s love, and strive to live a life worthy of the calling we have received.

4. Honoring in Action: Honor is not merely a concept to ponder but a virtue to be lived out. It is through our actions that honor finds its fullest expression. We honor God by worshiping Him wholeheartedly, seeking His guidance in all aspects of life, and living according to His Word. We honor others by practicing forgiveness, speaking words of encouragement, and serving them with humility and compassion. We honor ourselves by setting healthy boundaries, pursuing personal growth, and using our talents and abilities for God’s glory.

Philippians 4:8 – “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

Remember, honor is not a one-time act but a lifelong pursuit. May the Holy Spirit guide and empower you to live a life that honors God, honors others, and honors yourself. May your life be a radiant reflection of the honor and glory that belong to our Heavenly Father

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before You today with hearts filled with gratitude for Your abundant grace and love. We thank You for the gift of life and the opportunity to know You and follow Your ways. Lord, we desire to develop and live a life of honor, a life that reflects Your character and brings glory to Your name.

We ask for Your guidance and strength as we embark on this journey of honor. Teach us, Lord, to honor You above all else. Help us to recognize Your sovereignty, to trust in Your plans, and to obey Your commands. May our lives be a testament to Your greatness, as we seek to honor You in every aspect of our lives.

Lord, we also ask for Your help in honoring others. Fill our hearts with a genuine love and compassion for those around us. Grant us the grace to treat others with kindness, respect, and dignity, regardless of their background or circumstances. Help us to see the value in every person, just as You do. May we be known for our acts of love and service, always seeking to build others up and point them to You.

Father, we acknowledge that honoring ourselves is an important aspect of living a life of honor. Help us to see ourselves through Your eyes, as beloved children of God. Remove any feelings of self-doubt or unworthiness, and fill us with confidence in who You have created us to be. Guide us in taking care of our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, so that we may live lives of purpose and fulfillment.

Lord, we know that living a life of honor is not always easy. There will be challenges and temptations along the way. But we trust in Your strength and guidance to remain steadfast in our pursuit of honor. Help us to rely on Your Word, to seek Your wisdom, and to lean on Your Spirit for discernment and strength in every situation.

Father, we surrender ourselves to You and ask that You shape us into honorable vessels for Your glory. May our lives be a testimony to the transformative power of Your love and grace. Use us, Lord, to shine Your light in a world that so desperately needs it. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

January 27th 2019 – Prayers Aligned with Gods Will

Leave a reply

“Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?” (1 Kings 3:9)

Imagine if God were to come up to you and say, “Ask whatever you want, and I will give it to you.” That is actually what happened to King Solomon. But because Solomon had his priorities in order, he responded in the right way. He said,

“Now, O Lord my God, you have made me king instead of my father, David, but I am like a little child who doesn’t know his way around. And here I am in the midst of your own chosen people, a nation so great and numerous they cannot be counted! Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?” (1 Kings 3:7-9)

Solomon’s answer pleased God, and God gave him what he asked for. You might wonder, Would God ever do that for me? Yes, He would. But let’s not miss the condition. Jesus said, “But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!” (John 15:7).

If you are walking in close fellowship with God, and His Word is at resident in your heart, then you will pray for things that bring God glory. If you are praying for self-indulgent things, then it would be doubtful that you are maintaining a living communion with Him and that His Word is at home in you.

“Prayer is aligning ourselves with the will of God.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I thank you for your patients and love. I praise You for Your continued patience You have with me. May my prayers always along and please You! Help me not get caught up in the caos that’s all around me, help me get caught up with You Lord “My Father”.  I look forward to my fellowship with You, and am greatful for all You have done for me.  Your gift of love and salvation is the greatest gift I could ever receive. Thank you for my friends and family. Continue to fill me with Your Spirit and use my life to share God’s peace with the world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

December 12th 2018 – Glorify Him

Leave a reply

“Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God,” (1 Corinthians 10:31-32)

Can you imagine what it would feel like to do everything for the glory of God? Everything, not just our worship on Sunday mornings, but every aspect of life dedicated to glorifying our Lord. As you step out of bed in the morning, your mind is praising the Lord for His mercies. As you eat, you are thanking God for the food He has provided. As you sit in a traffic jam, you are singing praises to God for your life and that opportunity to be still and know He is God. Yes, anything and everything can be a sweet offering to our Lord when we purpose in our hearts to glorify His Name.

Of course, many people may not appreciate your attitude or work diligent work ethic. Don’t let it bring you down, it won’t matter because you’re doing it for the glory of God and not for the approval of others. Your purpose and meaning are to glorify our Lord and He is blessed as you serve Him with all your heart. So whatever you do in the course of your day, set your mind on glorifying God and watch as He uses you to be a blessing to others and a witness of His grace.

Do all that you do for the glory of God.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your amazing grace and the love You have shown me. Lord, fill me with Your Spirit and equip me to do everything for Your glory whether great or small. May my heart and mind be focused on You today and use me to share Your goodness with a world in need. May my life bless You today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

June 4th 2018 – The Weight Of Your Life

Leave a reply

“For you have proudly defied the Lord of heaven and have had these cups from his Temple brought before you. You and your nobles and your wives and concubines have been drinking wine from them while praising gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone—gods that neither see nor hear nor know anything at all. But you have not honored the God who gives you the breath of life and controls your destiny!” (Daniel 5:23)

Everytime I step onto a scale, I am often dissapointed with what what I see. I always weigh more than I want to. In fact, I can’t think of a time recently when I weighed less than I thought I did. On our scales, we typically want to weigh less.

Did you know that God has scales too? God’s scales are very different. On God’s scales, we want to weigh more, because His scales are about the weight of our life, the depth of our life, and the substance of our life.

In the book of Daniel chapter 5, it tells the story of Belshazzar, the grandson of King Nebuchadnezzar, who went out of his way to blaspheme and insult the true and living God. As he and his friends were partying away, they suddenly saw a hand writing on the plaster of the palace wall. It was a message from God himself.

Belshazzar called for the prophet Daniel to interpret the writing, and Daniel told him, “This is what these words mean: Mene means ‘numbered’—God has numbered the days of your reign and has brought it to an end. Tekel means ‘weighed’—you have been weighed on the balances and have not measured up. Parsin means ‘divided’—your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians” (Daniel 26–28).

Daniel was saying to Belshazzar, “You have been put on God’s divine scales, and there is nothing of substance in your life. And now your time is up.”

That night, the Medo-Persian forces were amassing outside under the leadership of Cyrus, and Belshazzar was killed.

God has given us warnings in the Scriptures just like He gave to Belshazzar. There is a last night for every person. There will be a last meal . . . a last statement . . . a last breath . . . and then eternity.

“God’s scales are about the weight of a life, the depth of a life, and the substance of a life.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for the hope You have freely given to me through Your Son Jesus. Thank you for everyday you have given me here on Earth. Lord, help me to seize the opportunities to glorify You Lord with the days I have remaining in my life.  Help me with my doubt when I cannot see. Continue to encourage me when I feel inadequate Lord. As I eagerly wait in expectation of Your coming, strengthen me to persevere in the calling You have laid before me. I know that all things work together for good to those who love You. Lord, I commit my life to Your purposes today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
