Preeminent Worship

Published by

Worship songs nowadays are becoming more about- breakthroughs, miracles signs, and wonders.  That’s good, but not good enough! In other cases, worship has become more about the worship leader – his/her talent:  how he/she sounds how he/she looks is the song current or fire etc… The magnificence and grandeur of Jesus is the last thing we consider – if we ever do, for a worship set.  We want the glory of the Lord to be made manifest in and through worship – but we fail to  invoke  His redemption work, the wonder of the cross, and the awe inspiring splendor of Jesus.  No matter why He never shows up in His fullness, and the worshipper left wanting for more.  When you sing or lead the church in praise of Jesus, let His life, death, and resurrection- His current ministry and His forever reign – take priority , and be the center attraction . Only then can we elevate worship to the place it needs to be. I would argue – that everything aforementioned – (breakthroughs, …

Laying hold of the Willingness of God

Published by

There is one word about prayer that makes the entire experience meaningful. It is the bedrock of what prayer is all about, firmly anchored in the character of God. Take it away and the worshiper is flooded with doubt. Take it alway and prayers hit the ceiling and bounce back. Take it away and the prayer life is sapped of all its enjoyment. This one word makes prayer possible. This one word brings the worshiper back again and again. This one word assures the worshiper that God hears and longs to answer. This one word causes prayer to soar to nights unknown This one word is the anchor for all the promises of God. #WILLINGNESS Martin Luther said it best: #prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance. It is laying hold of His willingness. — Walter Bright (@WaltBright) January 23, 2015 Everything is covered Salvation “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32 Healing “And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to …

10 Scriptures for Gloomy Days of Depression

Published by

Depression is an issue that impacts everyone. Christians and unbelievers alike suffer from fear, anxiety, and overwhelming stress. If you are not depressed than you know somebody who is or has been. In any event, depression is not fun. In time past the Church have in many ways sidestepped the issue and was dismissive of it. For most Christians, even admitting that they suffer from depression is something you just don’t do because others see you as a defeated, demon possessed Christian. But no matter where you are in your struggle, you can always find solace in Jesus, Hope and courage from scripture and practical advice and counseling to lift you out of your gloomy days of depression. Or at least help you walk through it. Allow me to share a few: He’s got gold in mind Job 23:1; 9, 10
My hand is heavy on account of my groaning.
Oh, that I knew where I might find him, that
I might come even to his seat! on the left hand
when he is working, I do not behold him; he
turns to the right hand, but I do …

Pray like Jabez Prayed

Published by

Jabez ‘Called’ and God granted. The word call carries the idea of a heartfelt, passionate prayer. This kind moves us beyond the laid back, lackadaisical prayers we are often guilty of. Scripture says, “He rewards those who diligently seek Him.” May He grant you clarity of vision this next season.

Day #17: I am a child of God

Published by

Jesus came to announce to us that an identity based on success, popularity, and power is a false identity—an illusion! Loudly and clearly He says, ‘You are not what the world makes you, but you are children of God. Henri Nouwen We are all created by God, but we are not all children of God. A child of God is a person who has put their trust in God believing and receiving Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. As a result of that, we become a part of God’s family. John 1:12 – “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. There are too many attractions and distractions in this life that seek to over shadow that truth. Therefore, the child of God must jealously guard this sacred truth. To lose it is to lose his true identity …

7 Joy Boosters 

Published by

Here is an outline of a few thoughts from Psalm 16: Drink from the Living Spring… see verses 1, 2 Pursue healthy relationships … see verse 3 Make right choices… verse 4 Daily Meditation… see verse 7 Practice His presence… see verse 8 Stay confident in tomorrow’s promise… see verse 10 Be content in today’s provision… see verse 6 Too often we run around looking for joy in all the wrong places. We dig up wells that end up being “broken cisterns.” Remember, “we have no good apart from Him.” The sorrows of those who run after idols, pleasure and other gods will multiply. If there’s a lot of drama in your world, it’s going to drain out all your joy. Sometimes you have to stay away from all those divas, drama queens and kings in order to keep your sanity. Joy is a choice. So make that choice today. Don’t let the devil steal it. Don’t let those circumstances take your eyes of Jesus. Choose to react differently. Choose to praise instead of pout. …
