Bless

“Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you.” Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭28‬ ‭NLT‬‬

In this world we have plenty of opportunities to practise this. Yesterday I caught a train that was supposed to go to a certain town and we were all taken off the train and bussed. There was bedlam. Bus drivers had been brought in and the train staff were given the role of sorting us into busses, except the information they were given was not thorough. Two of us had no one to take us and drivers were disputing who had to take us.

Finally we arrived at the station. We then had three hours to wait for our next train. I went for a walk and brought food. The other traveller was a young man who had broken up with his partner and had no money. I shared. He was grateful!

Once on the train I found myself in a carriage with a crazy electric door. People had to go through our carriage to the cafe. The door banged all night and even opened and banged when going around corners. We were rudely awaken around 1 am and told the train went no further and we were on busses again. We were given a hot cup of tea or coffee and left to wait in the cold outside on the platform. Finally busses arrived and we were sent on our way. At around 5am I was woken with water dripping all over me. I moved and this time the seat was broken and kept dropping back on the lady behind me. She was not appreciative.

I had written to my grandson to ask him to collect me this morning and my son responded and wanted to know why I contacted my grandson and not him. He had told me he was going away on certain dates and I mixed up the dates. He was not impressed. An opportunity for him to practice forgiveness.

We are now stuck in traffic and are nowhere near where we were supposed to be. I have to trust the Lord on this! 

Lord I pray your grace and mercy follow me today and infuse all who I come in contact with. Amen!

Eternal Life

Teacher I beg you to look at my son because he is my only don. Luke 9:38 For God so loved the world He sent His only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Luke has several stories about parents losing single children. Jesus healed them all. The Only Son reached out to these single child families. Jesus was the favoured only Son. Yet the Father knew He was the Only answer. Abraham was tested regarding his willingness to give up his only son, way back in the beginning, but he was spared because there was one destined to come and pay the perfect price. Amen! The blood of Christ was perfect as it was without spot or blemish. There was great power in that blood, enough power for all men, for all time. The blood secures us freedom from eternal darkness, it brings us into eternal life. Amen! Invite Him in and watch 'life' change your world. Amen!

Give thanks

“Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭105‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬ This psalm is a psalm of rememberance. It follows Abraham and his descendants to Egypt and beyond to the promised land.  We need reminding how faithful God has been to us in the past. It is good to show gratitude for all His deliverances and miracles of provision, to remember His faithfulness instead of complaining about His failure to solve a problem. Gratitude releases my heart from complaint. It changes my whole perspective about circumstances in my childhood. I no longer remember the bad done to me, but instead my heart is filled with gratitude. Speaking of God’s faithfulness brings an atmosphere of life into our current circumstances. God’s life changes things. Bring life not death! Amen!

And God said…

“Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.” Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬ These powerful words cut through the darkness, light came into that darkness and it was never the same again. There is power in the words of God! Jesus said to His disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Jesus knew His authority and spoke with that authority imparting Hsi authority to His disciples. We see Jesus in the gospels speaking with authority, people were healed and delivered. We have that same authority. Remember, light cuts through the darkness! Amen!
