Day 243 Acts 6:1-7

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Leadership, For The Holy Spirit shall Choose our Leaders! I Thank The Lord for Prayer, For in this we call upon the Lord for Guidance! I Thank the Lord for Fasting, For our flesh is corruptible, so we must starve ourselves to grow close to God’s Spirit!

 

It is Written, “In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.” This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.” Acts 6:1-7

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that your Church leans to the Holy Spirit to place Leaders where they are called in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 241 1 Timothy 3:1-12

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Change, For we are given a new chance daily to become something better than Human. I Thank the Lord for Fruition, For God gives us plans that shall manifest into Life! I Thank the Lord for Declaration, For with this Vow we offer our Word to the Lord!

 

It is Written, “Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap. In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons. In the same way, the women are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything. A deacon must be faithful to his wife and must manage his children and his household well.” 1 Timothy 3:1-12

 

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you strengthen your Children who are Called as Leader in your Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 239 1 Peter 2:4-10

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Being Chosen, For we have been accepted into the Lord’s Holy Family! Thank the Lord for Being The Cornerstone, For Christ is a stumbling block as Peter was the Rock that made them Fall! I Than the Lord for Divine Order, For what the world see’s as foolish, God see’s as His plan!

 

It is Written, “As you come to him, the living Stone–rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him– you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” and, “A stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.” They stumble because they disobey the message–which is also what they were destined for. But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” 1 Peter 2:4-10

 

Prayer: I Pray Dear Father, as your Children consume your Holy Word, May their Spirit be moved to speak prayers that never cease in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 237 Matthew 2:19-23

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Bravery, For we are called to stand when all else is falling! I Thank the Lord for Divine Dreams, For the Father has Angel’s who work in mysterious ways! I Thank the Lord for Fortitude, For through every struggle we and strengthened!

 

It is Written, “After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt 20 and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead.” 21 So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee, 23 and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.” Matthew 2:19-23

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Send your Children dreams that will move them closer to their destinies in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 236 2 Corinthians 11:1-13

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord For Virtue, For in this evil times, Righteousness will become an ever increasing rarity! I Thank the Lord for Marriage, For our true love shall always be Christ who is our Head! I Thank the Lord for Wisdom, For we are called to see beyond the good in this world!

 

It is Written, “I hope you will put up with me in a little foolishness. Yes, please put up with me! I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough. I do not think I am in the least inferior to those “super-apostles.” I may indeed be untrained as a speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way. Was it a sin for me to lower myself in order to elevate you by preaching the gospel of God to you free of charge? I robbed other churches by receiving support from them so as to serve you. And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so. As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, nobody in the regions of Achaia will stop this boasting of mine. Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do! And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about. For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 11:1-13

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you give your Children an increase of the Spirit of Discernment through these evil times in Jesus Name, Amen!

 

 

Day 235 John 20:1-9

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for resurrection, for even in Death we are called to Life! I Thank the Lord for reconciliation, for we have been redeemed in the eyes of our Lord! I Thank the Lord for Victory, for we have been made winner in the eyes of our Savior!

 

It is Written, “Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!” So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)” John 20:1-9

 

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you bless your Children on this Day of Remembrance that you are no longer in the grave, but made alive in Jesus Name, Amen!

 

Day 232 Hebrews 10:1-10

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Convictions, For by the Holy Spirit we are lead to change our lives for God! I Thank the Lord for Blessings, Daily I pray that the Father increase the lands and territories of His Children! I Thank the Lord for His Divine Word, For it changes all Men from the inside out for all the world to see!

 

It is Written, “The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming–not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins. It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased. Then I said, ‘Here I am–it is written about me in the scroll– I have come to do your will, my God.’ ” First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”–though they were offered in accordance with the law. Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Hebrew 10:1-10

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that your Children present themselves before you in one simple phrase, “Here I am!”

Day 231 Phillpians 3:1-10

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Zeal, For my Faith does not lay in the Flesh, But the Spirit of God! I Thank the Lord for Anticipation, For this fire in our bones shall lead us in His Service! I Thank the Lord for Lost, For what have been taken away, we shall see again at the time of Resurrection!

 

It is Written, “Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you. Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh– though I myself have reasons for such confidence. If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless. But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ–the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ–yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.” Philippians 3:1-10

 

Prayer: I Pray Holy Father that everything we see of Value in this World be counted as Garbage when put in consideration of our Service in your Kingdom in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 229 Jude 1:3-9

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for examination, For the Lord has called for every man to look over His Life and take account! I Thank the Lord for Justice, For by His Hand He shall part the evil ones from the righteous! I Thank the Lord for Rebuke, for the Lord’s Rebuke shall be against His Enemies!

 

It is Written, “Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people. For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling–these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire. In the very same way, on the strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their own bodies, reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings. But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” Jude 1:3-9

 

Prayer: Dear Father, I pray Lord that you give your Children a clear understanding of the hour that is upon us, in Jesus Name I Pray, Amen!

Day 226 1 Corinthians 7:1-9

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Endurance, For even when we are weak, He is Strong! I Thank the Lord for Agreement, For in His Love, we are called to Honor Him! I Thank the Lord for Marriage, for it is a foreshadowing of an eternity to come!

 

It is Written, “Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. I say this as a concession, not as a command. I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that. Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.” 1 Corinthians 7:1-9

 

Prayer: Lord, I Pray Today for the Spiritual Nature of Marriage, shall it be something we hold Holy before your eyes in Jesus Name!
