John 3:16 God loved the world this way: He gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life. 1 John 4:9 God has shown us his love by sending his only Son into the world so that we could have life through him. 1 John 4:10 This is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the payment for our sins. Romans 5:8 Christ died for us while we were still sinners. This demonstrates God’s love for us. 1 John 4:16 We have known and believed that God loves us. God is love. Those who live in God’s love live in God, and God lives in them. OUR GOD LOVES US.
THINK ABOUT HOW WE WOULD BE WITHOUT THE LOVE OF GOD. LET US THANK GOD FOR LOVING US.
1 Corinthians 15:33 “Don’t let anyone deceive you. Associating with bad people will ruin decent people.” Proverbs 13:20 “He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.” 2 Timothy 2:16 “Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.” Matthew 24:4 and Jesus answered them, see that no one leads you astray.
BE CAREFUL WHO YOU ALLOW INTO YOUR CIRCLE, CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS CAREFULLY. LIVE A GODLY LIFE AND BE BLESSED BY GOD. ALLOW THIS WORD FROM GOD TO BE A GUIDE UNTO YOUR LIFE.
Trust in God rather than self for guidance. Proverbs 3:4-6, TLB. “If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then trust the Lord completely; don’t ever trust yourself. In everything you do, put God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success.” Trust that God’s ultimate purpose for your life is good. Romans 8:28, NIV. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” The first principle of problem solving is to get the facts. Proverbs 18:13, TLB. “What a shame—yes, how stupid!—to decide before knowing the facts!” The second principle of solving problems is to be open to new ideas. Proverbs 18:15, TLB. “The intelligent man is always open to new ideas. In fact, he looks for them.” The third principle of problem solving is to hear both sides of the story. Proverbs 18:17, TLB. “Any story sounds true until someone tells the other side and sets the record straight.”
What does the Bible say about daily prayer? Prayer is the very breath of the Christian life. It is how we reach out to talk to our Lord and Creator. But frequently, this is an often neglected activity. Be honest, are you praying daily? Do you see prayer as something that you need daily? Have you been neglecting God in prayer? 1 Thessalonians 5:17 – “Pray continually.” Colossians 4:2 – “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” Luke 18:1 – “Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” Psalm 18:6 “In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” James 5:16 – “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” Mark 11:24 – “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Prayer is one of the most intimate and powerful ways to connect with God, let us pray continuously to our God. He is listening and will answer.
Confession prepares the way for forgiveness. It’s in the Bible, I John 1:9, NIV. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” Confession makes success possible. It’s in the Bible, Proverbs 28:13, TLB. “A man who refuses to admit his mistakes can never be successful. But if he confesses and forsakes them, he gets another chance.”
Psalm 5:12 – “Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.” This verse allows us to see that God blesses the righteous with His favor. This verse also show us that God’s favor acts as protection and provision for those who live uprightly. Psalm 84:11 – The LORD God is a sun and shield. The LORD grants favor and honor. He does not hold back any blessing from those who live innocently. Proverbs 12:2 A good person obtains favor from the LORD, but the LORD condemns everyone who schemes.
IF YOU EXPECT TO RECEIVE THE FAVOR OF GOD ON YOUR LIFE YOU MUST LIVE AN INNOCENT LIFE, YOU MUST LIFE A GODLY LIFE, YOU MUST LIVE A LIFE THAT BRINGS HONOR TO GOD.
God’s nature, plans and purpose do not change. The same consistent plan of salvation can be seen throughout the OT and NT, culminating in Jesus Christ who is “the same yesterday and today and forever”. Believers are also called to show the same consistency in their faith and witness. Numbers 23:19 God is not like people. He tells no lies. He is not like humans. He doesn’t change his mind. When he says something, he does it. When he makes a promise, he keeps it. Psalm 89:34 I will not dishonor my promise or alter my own agreement. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Deuteronomy 32:4 He is a rock. What he does is perfect. All his ways are fair. He is a faithful God, who does no wrong. He is honorable and reliable.
OUR GOD IS CONSISTENT; WE CAN TRUST OUR GOD. IF GOD SAID IT WE CAN BELEIVE IT.
John 15:12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Proverbs 21:21 Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor. 1 Corinthians 13:6-7 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 2 Timothy 1:7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. Proverbs 3:3–4 “Let love and faithfulness never leave you… Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.” Ephesians 4:2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 1 Corinthians 16:14 Let all that you do be done in love.
STOP THE HATE, STOP THE ENVY, STOP THE RACISM, LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
