Bless The Lord, O my Soul

Bless the Lord, O my Soul.

Reference- Ps 103:1-2

One of the greatest expressions of gratitude David shared is found in Psalm 103. Despite the long list of blessings from God, it became a benchmark and milestone for him and for us. In every occasion and opportunity, we must bless Him for restoration, healing, answered prayers, renewed strength, forgiveness of sins, and more. The list is endless because He is a marvellous God. 

The confidence confession from David, recorded in Acts 2, says, “Because He goes before me and is at my right hand, I will not fear anymore.” Living a life of blessing Him draws us closer to Him, allowing us to recognize and feel His presence all around us. This is something that can only be experienced, not explained. That’s why believers around the world use this scripture in their fellowship, either at the beginning or end of their gatherings, to bless Him.

Eliezer, Abraham’s servant, blessed Him for helping to find Rebecca for Isaac. Jethro blessed Him for restoring and leading His people from Egypt. The Levites blessed Him for the covenant. Joshua and Caleb blessed Him for preventing the tribes from fighting each other. Mary blessed Him for the incredible gift that changed her life. Simon blessed Him for the Messiah. Anna blessed Him for the life she lived and for witnessing Christ. Paul and Silas blessed Him for their extraordinary release and for leading the jailer to salvation. The angels blessed Him because He is worthy to open the seals and restore the world through the blood of the Lamb..

In every situation and blessing, let’s lift Him up and give our best, offering excellence to honour His Name. His throne is set in Heaven, and He reigns over us. He is the King, so let’s bless the Lord. With all my heart and soul, I won’t forget His goodness. Let’s be quick to listen and ready to follow whatever He says and desires. In Jesus’s Name, Amen.

Why could we not cast it out?

Why could we not cast it out? *Reference: Matthew 17:14–23* A pattern worth noticing: most of us ask questions of Jesus, or of fellow humans, that come from confusion, fear, ambition, or failure—the disciples ask theirs in the middle of not understanding, not from a comfortable distance. Their failure was not a lack of authority but a lack of dependence—faith diluted by self-reliance, prayer left behind. Jesus turns the question into the remedy: bring the failure to Me, and trust the God who does the casting out. At the bottom of the mountain, Jesus walks into chaos: a crowd, an argument, a father desperate for help. His son has seizures—falling into fire and water—though the text frames it as demonic affliction. The father says he brought the boy to the disciples, "but they could not heal him." This isn't their first attempt; Jesus had already sent them out with explicit authority to cast out demons (Matthew 10:1, 8), and they had done it successfully. It's a breakdo...

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...

A Prayer to the God of my life

A Prayer to the God of my life Reference: Psalm 42:8 (AMP) - Yet the Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song will be with me, A prayer to the God of my life. David was in a difficult situation and difficult circumstances. Yet he was declaring words to his soul, to see beyond the situation he was in, by His Grace, Kindness, and Mercies. He isn't in the temple when he writes this. He's far from it, cut off, surrounded by memory instead of presence . And in that distance, he does something remarkable: he turns and speaks to his own soul instead of just feeling what it feels. He doesn't wait for the ache to lift before choosing hope. He commands himself toward praise while still in it. That's the real shape of trust: he remembers God "from the land of Jordan and the heights of Hermon." Those aren't random landmarks. Jordan is where Israel crossed into everything God had promised, the river of breakthrough, where impossibl...
