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.

Was and Now

Was and Now Ephesians 2:7–10 (MSG) Now God has us where HE wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower Grace and Kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all His idea, and all his work. All we do is trust HIM enough to let HIM do it. It’s God’s gift from start to finish! We don’t play the major role. If we did, we’d probably go around bragging that we’d done the whole thing! No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join Him in the work He does, the good work He has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing!! Paul describes two themes from this chapter- 1) Death to Live 2) Division to Unity - It tells us who we were and who we now are — and the distance between those two is entirely the work of Grace. we were dead, Paul says, not struggling or striving, but dead — and yet "God, being rich in mercy," made you alive together with Christ. That word "together...

Call to Purpose

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London- 29Aug2025 CALL to PURPOSE Scripture Reference: 1 Sam 3 This scripture highlights the remarkable journey of young Samuel, who matures into Prophet Samuel and guides the nation of Israel in alignment with the Lord's divine plan.  The Boy Samuel was attending, ministering, helping the service under the supervision of Eli. This is an arrangement intentionally made by the Lord for the boy to be guided by the elder Eli. This arrangement helped Samuel recognize and understand God's calling when he was hearing it to break the cycle of silence, rare revelation of the divine truth and very very few, infrequence messages from the Lord. This is the secret that I learned over the years. God's Presence is everywhere. When we align with Him for His purpose that He intended to do, a new connection, a guidance, a calling will be given to respond. When we respond to the Lord's Voice, submit to His purpose, anything can happen. Amen!. It can be respectful...

Elisha Passed the Test

Elisha Passed the Test Ref 2 Kg 2:1-14 This scripture tells of the transitional journey Elijah and Elisha shared—walking and talking together. There was a push and pull, but in the end, determination prevailed. What are we willing to cross over for? If you asked Elisha, he would say everything, with all his might. He had watched Elijah closely over the years, never panicking but following with God’s peace alongside his master. Even when Elijah asked him to stay behind while he ran an errand as instructed by God, he refused to leave his side. He remained determined, persistent, loyal, collaborative, and eagerly anticipating this moment. In various significant places, such as the pushback, Gilgal (rolling away our shame), Bethel (where God is revealed), Jericho (walls falling), and the Jordan (crossing over), each holds its own unique meaning. We can relate these moments to our lives and give thanks to God for guiding us through overcoming Gilgal, experiencing Bethel, witnessing the fall...
