Focus on Jesus

Text: _And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish._ Matthew 8:24-25

The world has been rocked by failed systems. People are losing their jobs, and new ones are few on the horizon. The government has been able to make only fewer inputs to help her people. These storms can either rob us of perspective or help us focus on the one thing we need. Caught in a storm, the disciples lost perspective and forgot to focus on Jesus. Don’t we all sometimes do the same when in dire need?

When life is calm, we see all kinds of possibilities. A young family buys a new home because the job seems secure. A businessman makes plans for travel and for enjoying their riches. But when suddenly things don’t seem going their way, some seek alternatives. The disciples were taking a trip with Jesus when “suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake.” The boat was bashed by high winds and waves, and all the calm and control of the seasoned fishermen went overboard. How long did it take for them to notice Jesus? They focused on the storm, not the Master who had control of things even when He was sleeping in the boat. When we take our eyes off Jesus, the storms of life will easily overtake us. Jesus calms the storms not just for our immediate benefit but to teach us to trust Him in all things. Can you trust Him in the storms of your life?

Prayer:
Father, teach me daily to trust in You in all situations in Jesus’ Name.

*_Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful._*
John 14:27

*Prayer :*

I appreciate for the life that You have given us freely, for the protection against all odds and for the provisions of my needs.

Grant me Your peace, true peace that can come only from You and perfect peace that surpasses all understanding.

You have helped me to find 'stillness' of peace even in the midst of storm throughout this month.

May I never be troubled and afraid but fill me with confidence and hope in the next months to come.
In Jesus' name, I pray.

#WEDNESDAY PRAYER:

Loving God,

Each morning, I come before You with a heart yearning for Your presence. Amid the chaos that often surrounds me, grant me the strength and clarity of mind to find faith amidst the noise and distractions of daily life. Help me cultivate a deep desire to see You in every moment, to hear Your gentle whispers guiding me, to engage in meaningful conversations with You, and to offer my heartfelt thanks for all the blessings You bestow upon me.

As I draw closer to You through prayer and reflection, I pray that my faith will grow exponentially. May I understand in ever-deepening ways that You are everything I have ever hoped for and more—my anchor in the storms, my light in the darkness, and my constant source of love and support.

On this day, I ask for Your guidance and blessings, trusting in Your divine plan for my life. Thank You for walking beside me, and for the grace that fills my heart. In the Holy and Matchless Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.🙏🏽

'When God Stays Away' — Matthew 2:13

After the wise men were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up! Flee to Egypt with the child and his mother," the angel said. "Stay there until I tell you to return, because Herod is going to search for the child to kill him."— Matthew 2:13 NLT

Key Thought

Egypt was a long hard journey and a great unknown to this young family. Yet, it was God's place of protection. God's commands can call us to something that is unfamiliar and uncomfortable or that we consider difficult or undesirable. Yet, throughout revealed Scripture, the Father shows us his reason for these demands. He wants to protect us and bless us, just as he protected Joseph, Mary, and Jesus from King Herod at this crucial juncture in Jesus' life. When fully analyzed, God's commands are not unreasonable demands, but they are part of his protection. When we do what God commands, we are blessed and protected in ways we may never understand. In addition, our obedience ensures that we are available to be used by him, in his work, at his time.

Today's Prayer

Thank you, God, for caring not only about my holiness, but also about my physical and spiritual protection. Give me strength to stay away from those things you prohibit, courage to do what you ask of me, and excitement to enjoy the life I have in you. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

Psalm 46:10

*Prayer :*

I thank You Yahweh for my life, I am grateful for my health as enabled by Your sufficient grace.

In this noisy and rushing world, as we begin this new month, I ask for stillness. I ask You to calm my heart and silence my mind.

Surrounded by stillness, may I find Your voice clearly. Help me to stand still and rest in You always.

May I surrender all my fear and doubt to You and lean on You completely.
In Jesus' Name, I pray.

As we enter this new month, let's take a moment to reflect on our hopes and aspirations, grounding them in our faith. Here are some prayer points that might resonate with your heart:

1. Gratitude and Praise:
Let's begin by thanking God for His faithfulness in bringing us into this new month. The Psalmist reminds us, Psalm 100:5, "Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations."

2. Spiritual Growth:
May this month bring opportunities for deepening our relationship with God. Consider the words in Colossians 2:7, "So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness."

3. Protection and Guidance:
Ask for God's protection and guidance in all endeavors this month. Remember the promise in Proverbs 3:6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

4. Provision and Blessings:
Seek God's provision for all needs, both material and spiritual. Reflect on Philippians 4:19, "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus."

5. Strength and Courage:
Pray for strength to face any challenges that may arise. Draw comfort from Joshua 1:9, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

6. Love and Compassion:
Ask for a heart filled with love and compassion towards others. Meditate on 1 Corinthians 16:14, "Do everything in love."

7. Peace and Joy:
Seek the peace and joy that comes from God alone. Remember John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

As you pray through these points, may you feel God's presence and love surrounding you. May this new month be filled with His blessings, guidance, and grace.

Amen

A New Heart

Text: _I will give you a new heart … I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh…_ Ezekiel 36:26 NKJV

Here, the Lord is talking about a heart transplant, though not a physical transplant, but a spiritual one. The heart is more than a bodily organ that pumps life-giving blood to the rest of the body. The heart is symbolic of all that it means to be human. There are about 3,500 heart transplants done every year around the world, and we may well be one of the first generation to understand how a new heart can replace an old one. Therefore, we can understand how a new heart can radically change and alter us forever. And having such a new heart will give us a strange and wondrous feeling that Someone greater than ourselves is living inside us, and how grateful we are to the One who has given it to us so that we may live. We can be grateful, because beating inside of us is God’s own heart. Often times when we think of the heart, we think of it in terms of love, romance, and compassion. And while the heart may be that, in the Bible the heart is the seat of wisdom; it is where all of our decisions are made. Solomon said that as a person thinks in their heart, that is who they really are (Proverbs 23:7a).

On the conflicting end, it is from our hearts that most of our problems develop. The prophet Jeremiah makes this observation; “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked” (Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV). And so the condition of our hearts is extremely important. Jesus said, “The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks” (Luke 6:45 NIV). And while this is the main reason why we need a new heart, that is, our hearts are evil because of the sin nature inside of us, we also need a new heart, a heart of flesh, because our hearts have become hardened by the trials and cruelty of life. Ask God for a new heart that will follow His will for your life. It is safer to do so.

Prayer:
Father, grant unto me a heart that will follow Your will for me in Jesus’ Name.

Happy New Month of May, Beloved in Christ.

As we step into this new month, I declare that May will be a month of divine acceleration, supernatural breakthroughs, and fresh encounters with God. May your faith grow stronger, your joy overflow, and your prayers receive speedy answers. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every delay is turned into divine timing.

Go forth in boldness, walk in purpose, and may grace speak for you in all things. Welcome to a month of testimonies...

*_Blessed are those whose strength is in you; Who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage._*
Psalm 84:5

*Prayer :*

My heart is set on You and my strength lies in You. Without Your guidance, protection and care, I am nothing. 

Blessed is a man whose day starts and ends with You.
As I start today's journey, I invite You to lead me. I will follow You.

Guide me to the promises You have for me. Teach me to lean into Your strength for my energy and endurance.

I request for wisdom to help direct Your people who may be headed towards destruction and suffering, that they may turn up to the way of eternal life,
In Jesus' Name, I pray.
