TOPIC - Empowered to Follow

BIBLE TEXT - Happy are people of integrity, who follow the law of the Lord. Happy are those who obey his decrees and search for him with all their hearts. They do not compromise with evil, and they walk only in his paths. You have charged us to keep your commandments carefully. Oh, that my actions would consistently reflect your principles! - Psalm 119:1-5

The first four verses in Psalm 119 tell us that those who are obedient to God’s commands and are wholeheartedly committed to seeking him are happy (some other translations use the word blessed), and then verse 5 expresses a prayer for God’s help to be among the people who are described here. They will be people of integrity who don’t get derailed by the enemy but walk only in God’s paths. Just as God charged his people in the psalmist’s day to keep his commandments, he charges us with doing the same. But he knew we couldn’t do it in our own strength and resources. And so, Peter tells us, “As we know Jesus better, his divine power gives us everything we need for living a godly life” (2 Peter 1:3). He has given us his Spirit to dwell within us, to guide us into all truth, to make us aware and draw us back when we begin to compromise with evil, and to empower us to obey so that our lives and actions can reflect God’s principles. In God’s strength, we can mirror to the world what we believe.

PRAYER

HOLY SPIRIT, empower me to live in such a way that my actions consistently reflect your principles! As I search for you with all my heart and follow your law, you will make me a person of integrity who knows the happiness that comes from walking in your paths. May all that I do and say honor you.

INSIGHT

All heaven is waiting to help those who will discover the will of God and obey it.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

FELLOWSHIP

Date 📅 24th November, 2022 Topic Fellowship (koinonia) Living Scripture Matthew 18:20 KJV For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Wherever believers are gathered in the name of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, there the Lord comes to fellowship. In heaven the celestials cease not to give due worship to God and the LAMB of God, it's a constant tradition of divine communion and fellowship. It is not every gathering that men calls Jesus Christ that he attends, the scripture states that these candidates for fellowship must be in the name of Jesus Christ. They must be saved to even think of gathering for the purpose of intimacy and fellowship. Two thieves were hung up on the cross with the person of Christ, but only one that repented and believed in the Kingdom of Heaven and Christ, that received attention from Jesus. To gather in fellowship with the Lord as a family this morning, we must all be in Him. Our devotion will not be c...
