Thoughts to Make Your Heart Sing

-

When someone important is being introduced, the announcer usually says, “Mr. So-And-So — Founder of This Extra-Important Company!” or, “Miss Something Else — Nobel-Prize-Winning Inventor of This Brilliant Thing!”

Do you know how God likes to be introduced?His name is the Lord... Father to the fatherless, defender of widows. — Psalm 68:4-5 (NLT)

Our Almighty God, who sifted stars through His fingers, stands not with kings and princes, but with the weak, the powerless, the poor.

Because the people no one else thinks are important have a special place in God’s heart. He hears their cries. He fights for them and defends them.

And one night long ago, in Bethlehem, He stepped out of Heaven and became one of them.

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

THE CURE FOR DECEPTION

Do not be so deceived and misled! Evil companionships (communion, associations) corrupt and deprave good manners and morals and character  1 Corinthians 15:33 AMPC. The Lord Jesus warned us to be wary of deception. In Matthew 24:4 , He cautions, “... Take heed that no man deceive you .”  In the epistles, the Apostle Paul repeatedly warned of the dangers of deception. Notice what he said in the opening text, “ Do not be so deceived and misled ...”; because it's easy to be deceived. Satan’s capital strategy in derailing Eve was deception. In 2 Corinthians 11:3 , Paul captures it; it says, “ But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ .”  Therefore, by understanding how Satan deceived Eve, you can gain insight into how to stay ahead of him and prevent yourself and others from being deceived. Remember that Paul was speaking to God’s people when he said, “ Awake to r

I want to welcome you to today's very special program. This phase is a short one. During the global communion Service on Sunday, I began to talk to you about something.  I asked "where are we on God's timetable?" In God's timeline, where are we? I wanted you to understand some things.  Psalm 102:13 Here the psalmist prays and says something to God. In the spirit, he knew it was the set time for God to favor Zion.  So he says " thou shall arise and have mercy upon Zion. .." This is in reference to Zion/ Israel as a nation. Wherever you are in the world, whichever country you are in, it's important to know what's God plan for your country. Where are you in God's timetable? Does God have a plan? Can his plan be actuated? Across the world, to every nation, it's God's moment and hour to have mercy on all nations and favour all nations.  This is important. I've often said this and it's true: Every nation gets the leadership it deser
