Apr 2021 - Let the Attitude of Jesus Christ fill us

For this reason also, God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the Name which is above every Name. Philippians 2:9 AMP

What are the reasons quoted in the scripture?

  • By becoming obedient to the Father to the point of death, even death on a cross.
  • He so completely humbled Himself
There is a sense in which Jesus is our example even in His ascent and exaltation, just as He was in His descent and humiliation. The mind which was in Him is for us the pattern for earthly life, especially His ‘obedience to the death of the Cross'. Amen


  • Matthew hinted - anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven (18:4)
  • Luke said - those who humble themselves will be exalted (14:11)
  • James mentioned - Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honour (4:10)
  • Psalmist written - He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way (25:9)
  • Wise man mentioned- Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and turn away from evil. This will bring healing to your body and refreshment to your bones. (3:7-8)
  • Peter Said - Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right (1 Pt 5:6)
We witness reference in both OT and NT, Kings, Prophets, Judges, Warriors, Levies, Leaders, Families, Servants, Disciples and Scholars obeyed/ humbled to be used or to bring Glory to the Lord. The Lord restored, built, healed, turned, revealed, concealed, commanded, guided, protected, constructed, watered, preserved, blessed and showered His Favour. Hallelujah.


May the Lord Jesus Christ, who said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me, lead us into this season to fulfil His plan and purposes. In The Name of the Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I Pray, Amen. (Mt 28:18)


May this Prayer of Jesus, from John 17, unite us together between us and Him- Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the Name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one. While I was with them, I protected and preserved them by Your Name, the Name You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled. Amen.


May His favour, power, presence lift us up, as we submit ourselves as a living sacrifice, humble into His plan. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Real battle, Different rules

Real battle, different rules Refer 2 Cor 10:3-6- NIV- For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds . 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. Paul's tone changes sharply in 2 Corinthians 10. After pleading gently for generosity toward the poor, he turns to face his critics, and he is no longer soft-spoken. They claimed he was bold on paper but timid in person, a man who threatened discipline from a distance and would never dare follow through face to face. In short, they questioned whether he had the apostolic authority he claimed. Paul's answer was to describe his ministry as spiritual warfare. The world is unprinciple...

God rewriting life stories

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...

I will Bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...
