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.

Boldness

Boldness Reference: Heb 4:12-16 We do not have to tiptoe toward God. We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think. So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand. Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open.  The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open. The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation. If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to...

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer Reference - 1 Sam 17, Ps 59 and 2 Sam 15 David was known as a man after God’s own heart, as witnessed by God Himself. The Bible reveals many reasons for this, but one of the most notable is his unwavering faith—trusting God completely and placing all his hope in the One who is more than able to guide him. I would like to discuss three scenarios and observe his responses to inspire our faith and draw us closer to Him. 1) When the Israelite army fled from Goliath, David stood his ground, boldly declaring the giant’s defeat before the fight even began, trusting entirely in the Name of the Lord rather than physical weapons. With a single stone, David struck Goliath down, vindicated God’s Name, routed the Philistine army, and proved to all that the battle belongs to the Lord. He proclaimed victory before the clash, relying not on spear, sword, or javelin, but on the Lord’s power. David said, in 1 Sam 17:45-47, “You come against me with sword,...

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...
