Experience Hope in His Presence

-
Let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me. This world you inhabit is increasingly complex and confusing. You have more information at your fingertips than you could process in a lifetime.

 There are so many demands on you — from the world, the church, other people, yourself. As a result, it’s easy to feel lost and perplexed. To find Peace in this chaotic clutter, you need to set priorities according to My will.

 It is crucial to make your relationship with Me the top priority — nurturing and strengthening your connection with Me.

 Nothing is as important as understanding Me: knowing and loving Me as I truly am. This requires focused time with Me as well as ongoing communication with Me throughout your day. The clearest, most trustworthy teaching about Me is in the Bible. The beauty of nature also proclaims Me and reveals My Glory. Making Me your highest priority gives focus to your thinking. Other priorities fall into their proper place when I am first and foremost in your life.

 “Let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the Lord. — Jeremiah 9:24 NKJV

 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. — Psalm 19:1–2

 Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. — Matthew 22:37–38

YOUR LOVEWORLD SPECIALS. SEASON 7, PHASE 2 , DAY 2. 9TH MARCH 2023

I want to welcome you to today's program.  Yesterday we began to talk about God's plan for the nations in this present hour. Psalm 102:13 I explained that He was talking about Israel and describing a certain period, but this church age is very much in line with what the psalmist spoke of here.  Isaiah 49: 7-8 .  "To establish the earth. To cause to inhabit the desolate heritages ". Let's read from the Living bible. Israel will be used by God to do this at the millennial reign of Christ, but this is the church age where the church is sent to the nations of the world. Isn't that the commission that He gave us? He gave us authority to set the prisoners free.  2 Cor 6:1-2 This grace of God that was given to us in Christ Jesus, brings this blessing that Isaiah spoke about, to pass.  We are workers together with Him. He sends us to the world. This was Paul's thinking. No wonder he says "we are ambassadors of Christ as though God did beseech you by us...&quo

Be Generous and Cheerful

-
Be Generous and Cheerful  As Christians, we should be generous people, giving whatever we can whenever we can. And that doesn't just mean money, we can give help, encouragement, time, talents and forgiveness.  This means we can't let selfishness get in the way. A lot of people are stingy, clinging to what they have and afraid to give it up. Others aren't stingy in their actions, but they are stingy in their hearts, giving because they feel obligated, not because they really want to.  But this isn't the way God calls us to give. Second Corinthians 9:7 tells us, "God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, 'prompt to do it') giver [whose heart is in his giving]."  If you think about it, when we give our lives to God, everything we have is His anyway, it no longer belongs to us. We should be givers, using our resources the way He wants us to.  Give cheerfully today

Very Great in the Little Things

-
This God is our God. — Psalm 48:14 “God is great in great things, but very great in little things,” says Henry Dyer. A party stood on the Matterhorn admiring the sublimity of the scene, when a gentleman produced a pocket microscope and having caught a fly, placed it under the glass. He reminded us that the legs of the household fly in England are naked, then called attention to the legs of this little fly which were thickly covered with hair; thus showing that the same God who made the lofty Swiss mountain attended to the comfort of His tiniest creatures, even providing socks and mittens for the little fly whose home these mountains were. This God is our God! A doubting soul beheld a robin’s nest in a gigantic elm and heard a still small voice saying, “If God spent a hundred years in creating a tree like that for a bird, He will surely take care of you.” God is so interested that He takes us one by one and arranges for every detail of our life. To Him, there are no
