THE MOST PRECIOUS THING

 

“So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Feed My lambs. John 21:15

Before Jesus gave Peter the task and responsibility of feeding His sheep, He asked him the one question: Do you love me? Jesus did not ask Peter if he was a gifted speaker, a talented leader or test his knowledge of the law, but just asked: Do you love me?

 

This shows us that the essence of effective ministry will always be an overflow of our love relationship with Jesus. Peter and the other disciples were ordinary fishermen from a backward and lowly part of the country. They were nobodies or nonentities till Jesus called them.

 

When Moses appointed the elders over Israel, the qualification was not their knowledge or family lineage, physical appearance, or special talent but rather to fear God and shun evil (Exodus 18:21)

 

If we were to see things the way God does, we would see the immense value of godly character that comes from loving God and shunning evil. In fact, it is the most precious thing that we possess in God’s sight.

 

Examine your life in the light of what the Bible tells us in Micah 6:8
    “And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy

    and to walk humbly with your God.”. 

HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU HAVE NOT ASKED

15 May 2024

“So God said to him, “Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, I will do what you have asked.” 1 Kings 3:11-12
God was pleased that Solomon requested divine wisdom to carry out his God-given assignment instead of earthly riches or fame, and blessed him more than he could imagine.
In the same way, God tests our hearts to reward us, to see what we truly seek.”

WRITTEN IN HEAVEN

“However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” Luke 10:20
When the seventy-two disciples returned with joy from their mission, Jesus warned them that the source of their joy should come not from the visible results of the Spirit’s power, but the Holy Spirit Himself, who has sealed for Christ, and written our name in Heaven.”

REVIVE ME

2 May 2024

“As long as you have the gift of life, make sure your spirit is revived and this is something only the Spirit of God can do through His Word, which is spirit and life (John 6:63).

* Oh Holy Spirit, breath of God, breathe in me the breath of God!
* Oh Holy Spirit, through whom all things were created, create in me a new life, a new beginning!.”
