The Lord bestows Grace and Favour and Honour

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London.

The Lord bestows Grace and Favour and Honour

The Bible confirms, in Ps 84:11 that The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. In other words, No good thing does YHWH withhold from those who walk uprightly, with integrity and blameless. This is the experience of David and multiple millions of the believers who have been witnessing the Faithfulness of the Lord among us. 

As we are concluding 2024 in few days, Let us take a stock of the things that the ADONAI Graciously showered upon us, His miracles, guidance, favour, strength, care, love, protection, provision, promises, prophecies and faithfulness. In Luke 10, Mary seated herself at the LORD's feat, to continually listen to HIS teaching, heard HIS Word to what the Master taught and absorbing every revelation HE shared. 

Instead of embracing Martha's footprints, by blaming, comparing, complaining, getting distracted, keeping ourselves very busy with numerous chores, preparing what we planned for and interrupting JESUS, telling HIM what to do/ how to do certain things, Let us TRUST HIM in 2025 as believers by letting HIM to do HIS Things in our lives in HIS timings to bring Glory to HIS Name. Amen. Hallelujah. 

HE knows us well and what we are going through in the life journey. All our hairs have been numbered (not just counted), every good things are at HIS reserve, HE knows our needs, Our Heavenly Father knows how to give good things to those who ASKs Him, it absolutely cost nothing to us and it's free to us. HE is simply asking us to TRUST HIM. Our God is able to make all Grace abound to us, so that in all things, at all times, having all that we need, we will abound in every good work (2 Cor 9:8). From HIS fullness we received GRACE upon GRACE from HIM (Jn 1:16) in the past, we will continue to receive them now and in future. It's our birth right in HIM!

Are we distracted by the big/worldly things that we were preparing/aiming for, worried, bothered and anxious about so many things? JESUS advised Martha to choose the good part, necessary part, better part, needful part and challenged her to discover good things. Do not fussing far too much is the warning to many of us as we enter into 2025. 

CEV of Ps 55:22 narrates a prayer like this...

LORD, we belong to YOU, we tell YOU what worries us, YOU will not let us fail, fall or slip. Amen. Let us commit our ways to the LORD (Ps 37:5). As David said in Ps 55:23, Let us also declare that as for me, I TRUST in YOU.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favour and honour in 2025 and beyond; no good thing does HE withhold from those whose walk is blameless, In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Happy New Year 2025, in advance.

Peace be upon Israel and Us. 🙏🙏🙏

Have a Blessed weekend!!! 

In His Grip..

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...
