'Lust? NO!!' — Matthew 5:27-28

[Jesus continued:] "You have heard the commandment that says, 'You must not commit adultery.' But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart."— Matthew 5:27-28 NLT

Key Thought

In an era where adultery is considered acceptable, or at least something to be ignored, Jesus' standard of an inner-driven righteousness that transcends the call of the law of Moses to be sexually pure seems extreme. But adultery in practice begins with lust in the heart. More than just a look, lust is a look to have and possess. That kind of lust can move the heart into action to betray a holy covenant between God, a husband, and a wife. This betrayal is wrong. We must not hide behind righteous looking exteriors when our interior world is rotting with evil. We must deal with this lust or it will consume us.

Today's Prayer

O Lord God Almighty, create in me a clean heart. I want to be more like you in my character: pure, resisting things that are evil, and faithful, honoring my commitment to you and to others. Please forgive me in my times of weakness and mold me into your holy servant to be used for your glory. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

*_Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:_*
Matthew 5:38

*Prayer :*

You told us "Love your enemies." My human mind says "How can we possibly love those who cause us harm?" This is the bar set much higher and I fall definitely short of."

Remind us that we can do the unthinkable with the mind of Christ in us. Help us to remember Your last moments on Calvary when You said "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.".

Teach me to look others through Your eyes. Let us not to answer violence with violence. Help me to be more like You.
In Jesus' name, I pray.

Pride | Humility

Proverbs 16:18 (NKJV) Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

Proverbs 15:33 (NKJV) The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, And before honor is humility.

Jesus, the Ultimate Example of Humility

Text: _Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a servant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross._ (Philippians 2:5-8)

In order to live daily by the grace of God, we must be willing to walk in humility as Christ did. "God gives grace to the humble" (1 Peter 5:5). The word of God offers extensive teaching concerning a life of humility but we will find no greater insight than that which pertains to Jesus, the ultimate example of humility. Before He came to earth as a man, Jesus had existed throughout eternity past as deity, the eternal Son of God. "Bethlehem …out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be ruler in Israel, whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting" (Micah 5:2). Since He was God, claiming deity was not an inappropriate intrusion into another's domain: "who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God." Although Jesus was and is still God, He did not go about independently exercising His Godhood: "but made Himself of no reputation." Instead of manifesting all of His innate glory, He functioned as any human slave would: "taking the form of a servant, and coming in the likeness of men." 

During His earthly ministry, He Himself would emphasize His servanthood role. "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many" (Matthew 20:28). In His majestic salvation mission, Jesus, the Son of God, would voluntarily accept the path of humility. "He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross." This humility involved a yielding to the Father that was so extensive He would even embrace the most abhorrent death of all, a sin-atoning crucifixion. This humble surrender to the Father's will is the path that our Lord calls us to walk. "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus."

Prayer:
Dear Lord, grant me a humbling spirit and a heart like Jesus. Lord, please work in me a humble heart like Yours in Your holy name, Amen.

*_But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;_*
Matthew 5:44

*Prayer :*

You loved us first when we are far from being lovable. Help us to love not only those who love us first, but also those who treat us badly. Help us to make opportunities to love where none exists.

When we are disrespected, help us to respond with respect. When we are ignored, help us to pay attention to them. When we are hurt, help us to respond with healing love.

Lift us up beyond our own capability by Your Holy Spirit for us to reach our destined points in this life.
In Jesus' name, I pray.

The Prayer Life of Jesus (1)

Text: _Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray.”_ — Luke 11:1

Have you ever wondered why Jesus prayed? As Luke 5:16 informs us, “Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” The Lord’s passion for prayer may surprise us. He is God; why would He need to pray at all? The gospels record Jesus praying at key moments in His ministry. First, remember that Jesus was tempted in the wilderness “after fasting for forty days and forty nights” (Matthew 4:2). Prayer is not mentioned here, but since prayer and fasting are often connected in the Bible, it is safe to affirm that Jesus prayed intensely to prepare for the temptations that would follow.

In addition, Jesus chose His twelve disciples after He “spent the night praying to God” (Luke 6:12). That is arguably twelve hours of prayers to choose twelve acquaintances. So, through prayer, He was guided by the Spirit to choose His closest followers. This shows the importance of prayers in making choices. In Luke 11, we read that one of the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray just after He had finished praying. In response, He taught them the prayer many refer to today as The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13). On the night before He died, Jesus prayed as never before, earnestly communing with the Father. Our Lord’s submission to death on a cross for our sake, obeying the will of His Father, was the fruit of that prayerful communion. Through prayer, Jesus received strength, discernment, instruction, and walked in obedience. The bottom line is this: if Jesus needed to pray, how much more do we? Do not just learn prayer, but pray prayer. Your prayers shall receive 100% answers. Open your heart to learn and to act.

Prayer
Thank You Jesus for showing how important it is to pray. Help us to follow Your example. Thank You for giving us prayer so that we grow closer to You in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

'Shock!' — Matthew 5:29-30

[After condemning lust, Jesus continued:] "So if your eye — even your good eye — causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your hand — even your stronger hand — causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell."— Matthew 5:29-30 NLT

Key Thought

Although treated as an antiquated concept in much of Western society, sin is very much a concern to Jesus. Sin is dangerous because it harms us in our walk with God. Sin is dangerous because, through us, it can cause others to sin. Sin is dangerous because our sin can directly hurt others. Sin is disastrous because it separates us from God. Jesus wanted to get his disciples' attention. He wanted us to know that sin is horrid and dangerous. So he used language that is best described as hyperbole to shock us into realizing that we must deal with sin in our lives. We must deal with it seriously and get rid of it. Jesus emphasized that sin is what comes from the heart and causes the actions on the outside (Matthew 15:17-20). It seems to me unwise to think he is speaking literally here about maiming ourselves since he went to great lengths to emphasize that mere external changes don't create lasting changes in us. What is needed is an internal change that works itself out into the external lifestyle. Just because God is gracious doesn't mean he takes sin lightly. We must never presume upon grace and use it as an excuse to keep falling back into the same old sinful failures (Romans 6:1-2). Jesus wants us to deal with the sin in our lives today.

Today's Prayer

Holy and righteous Father, I do not want to take my own sin lightly. Neither do I want to let it defeat me. As you promised, please empower me to put to death the misdeeds of the body. Please help me keep from taking my sin lackadaisically. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Read this!!!!!

A man prayed for spiritual power and anointing. He bought books on how to work in the supernatural and how to flow in the supernatural, including dry fasting (without food and water) and white fasting (with water), but all to no avail. Then one day, he prayed that God should show him the secret of the barriers to why heaven had refused to use him. It was then God opened his eyes and he saw an angel that came to hand a Report Card of how God saw him!

Now back to the score card above,

What would be your score using the above chart? Would you have been better? The year is running fast. Do an early, personal, inner soul searching today because the kingdom of God is at hand. Examine yourself!.......

2cor 13:5
Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?

Time for self examination

We can not be preaching to others while we are not watching over our own souls....

See Paul here

1cor 9:27
But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

Self appraisal is very important brethren, we must daily watch our own selves and ensure we have not been drawn away from the truth while we preach to others....

Grace be multiplied unto thee all... Amen!

*_The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved._*
Psalm 99:1

*Prayer :*

I also ask for Your forgiveness over my wrong doings and cleansing of my heart.
Thank You for this verse to my heart today, reminding me that regardless of the upheaval, You alone reign over this world. 

I praise You that the power of Your gospel conquered the power of darkness and brought the light of Your salvation to our lives.

It is my honor to exalt You and to worship You in spirit and in truth. Today, I  submit to You and invite You to reign in me by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Let Your kingdom be manifested in my life.
In Jesus' name, I pray.
