Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Training, Daily we arise to strengthen our knowledge of His Word! I Thank the Lord for Goals, For we are not content with just living in this World! I Thank the Lord for New Life, For daily we are given a chance to step into our New Man!

 

It is Written, “We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers. We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. For we know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake. You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. The Lord’s message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia–your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it, for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead–Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-10

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that we as your Children stop looking at things thrown in the sea of forgiveness and start looking at the opportunities given to us in the present in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Sobriety, For We are called to be Sober of Mind to preach the Word of the Lord! I Thank the Lord for Purity, For our bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit! I Thank the Lord for Assignments, For those who seek to present themselves to the Lord shall be used in His Master Plan!

 

It is Written, “Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have departed from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.” In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.” 2 Timothy 2:14-21

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that we as your Children seek to Ready ourselves to Be used for your Great Work in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for weakness, for in it, we find our strength in the Lord! I Thank the Lord for imperfection, for in all things, His Grace is sufficient! I Thank the Lord for His Blood, For just like His Love, it cover a multitude of Sins!

It is Written, “Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles. Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.” 2 Peter 3:1-13

Prayer: I Pray Father that we not keep our minds set on today, but prepare for the coming of your kingdom daily in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Courage, For in the Face of great odds, Faith shall Prevail! I Thank the Lord for Self Confidence, For we are all called to follow in the Image of our Creator! I Thank the Lord for Wisdom, For our intellect alone can not lead us to the truth of the Lord!

It is Written, “Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.” James 3:1-12

Prayer: I pray Father that you Anoint our tongues to speak life over death and Blessings over curses in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Breath, For he Breathed into Us Life and every breath is a sign of remembrance! I Thank the Lord for His Spirit, For He loved those who were near and far off! I Thank the Lord for Reconciliation, For what Adam divided, Christ Came to Make Whole!

It is Written, “Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)– remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.” Ephesians 2:11-22

Prayer: I Pray To you Jehovah Jirah, unite your people by your Word and let none who are called be left behind in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Covering, For God so Loved Man that of Him came Woman! I Thank the Lord for Submission, For in this act is not a sign of Weakness, but Honor! I Thank the Lord for Order, For God is the head of Christ as Man is the Head of Woman!

 

It is Written, “ Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you. But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head–it is the same as having her head shaved. For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head. A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.” 1 Corinthians 11:1-9

 

Prayer: I Pray Abba Father that this Generation understands that Godly Order supersedes the Order we see in This world. Father I pray that you give your Children divine insight in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Remembrance, For Daily He calls us to remember His Promise and Glory! I Thank the Lord for Encouragement, for He shall lift us up when we are down! I Thank the Lord for Support, For our strength does not come from within, but From the Lord!

 

It is Written, “Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do–living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you. But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit. The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:1-10

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you continue to build your Children understanding of your Word and increase of Faith to accept what is true in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Home, For we are blessed to have a place to rest our head!I Thank the Lord for Work, from the sweat of our brow we are rewarded! I Thank the Lord for Play, For He has given us this life to live and enjoy by His Name!

 

It is Written, “Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.” This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question. The church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, they told how the Gentiles had been converted. This news made all the believers very glad. When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and elders, to whom they reported everything God had done through them. Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses.” The apostles and elders met to consider this question. After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: “Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.” The whole assembly became silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul telling about the signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them. When they finished, James spoke up. “Brothers,” he said, “listen to me. Simon has described to us how God first intervened to choose a people for his name from the Gentiles. The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written: ” ‘After this I will return and rebuild David’s fallen tent. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it, that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles who bear my name, says the Lord, who does these things’– things known from long ago. “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”

 

Prayer: I Thank the Lord that the Law of Moses was not removed, but Strengthen by the New Covenant. I Pray Lord that we are blessed by the Law of Spirit which leads us to all truth in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Joy, Though sorrow may last through the night, Joy comes in the Morning! I Thank the Lord for Worship, Daily we shall arise and praise His Holy Name! I Thank the Lord for Righteous Living, For He has called to honor our temple as the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit!

 

It is written, “Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.” 1 Peter 1:13-21

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you instill Holy Living upon your children and we mature out of our old ways into our new ways in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for a New Song, For in the Morning He shall put His Words upon our Lips! I Thank the Lord for Help, for in our time of need, we shall look to the Maker of Heaven and Earth! I Thank the Lord for Covenant, For He shall be with His Children Forever and Evermore beyond Eternity!

 

It is Written, “A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the mountains– where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip– he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you– the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm– he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” Psalm 121:1-8

 

Prayer: I Pray Father, that through every situation that your Children go through, may we focus our knees to the ground and our eyes towards Heaven in Jesus Name, Amen!
