46 – I love my Master ( The tale of a Son)
Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. [7] Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, [8] I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. Psalm 40:6-8 KJV In…
45 – Let My people go that they may serve Me
When a man realizes that someone who is so powerful and fearful, someone who could crush him in an instant would stoop low to live inside of Him, he is driven to consecrate himself. Jacob’s encounter with God in Peniel, Genesis 32:10, was an encounter with Mercy and this is why He said “I am not…
44 – He separated the light from the darkness
When a man is in darkness, an unbeliever, he does not have a choice yet. He is under the control of the devil and a slave and his only redemption is to receive the light of God. Afterwards, however, he begins to see because of the presence of this light, what is good and evil. This is why a man can…
43 – To him who overcomes
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. [5] Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:4-5 NKJV The idea of overcoming is indicative of the presence of opposition or an adversary. To overcome therefore means to subdue an adversary and obtain Victory.…
42 – He who sits in the heavens shall laugh
Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? [2] The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, [3] “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.” [4] He who sits in the heavens…
41 – The Sacrifice of Praise
But giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors me. If you keep to my path, I will reveal to you the salvation of God PSALM 50:23 NLT. The fact that it is contrary to human logic to praise God and choose to magnify Him for His righteous acts in difficult situations is what makes it all the more a sacrifice and all the more pleasing to God.
40 – A Sabbath of Rest
Jesus referred to Himself in Matthew 12:8 as the Lord of the Sabbath, this means He is the owner of the Sabbath. Being the one who instituted this day, He was able to show us a perfect example of what He intended when He commanded man to observe the sabbath. Jesus healed on the sabbath and allowed his disciples to eat grain on the sabbath because the emphasis was not on…
39 – Let there be Light
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and…
38 – Come and See
God is known to move in ways that are considered ‘foolish’ to men. This is because it gives Him glory to conceal a matter. There may have been other widows in the temple when Anna met Jesus. There could have been passers-by when Jesus spoke with the Samaritan woman and surely, a huge bone of contention between Jesus and the Pharisees was that they could not phantom how…
37 – Gethsemane – A call to Prayer
Jesus, upon going to Gethsemane knew that this was the path to His glorification. For this glorification, which involved getting the right to give eternal life to all flesh, receiving the name above all names, and having His bride, a people called by His name who He would inherit as His body, He…
