Forgive and love each other, Let go of the past

Don’t evoke any feelings, for we all made mistakes in the past, just forget about them

Don’t bewilder, distress or be misled, we’ve already had a good foundation for the future, be zealous           

Today!  Let’s join together in unity and press on! For our best is yet to come

Today! Let’s march on by stepping forward in the path of righteousness, that one day can be today

This day is the day that Lord has made. Today is your day. Rejoice and press on!(Background singing)

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.(Philippians 13:12-14)

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9,NIV) Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the LORD.(Proverbs 23:17,NIV) "…, being zealous for God just as you all are today.(Acts 22:3,NASB,)

Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.(1 Timothy 6:19,NASB) Romans 12:1, Romans 12:19, John 19:30,

²¹Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”²²Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. (Matthew 18:21-22)

¹²Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. ¹³Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. ¹⁴And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.¹⁵Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. ¹⁶Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. ¹⁷And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.(Colossian 3:12-17)

Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. (Proverbs 24:14,)

HOLY TO THE LORD

"The LORD will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one LORD, and his name the only name."(Zechariah 14:9,NIV)"The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever." (Revelation 11:15,NIV)

May the Lord our God have compassion on us and you are all healthy and happy in this new year 2011. I pray and give thanks to our heavenly Father in Jesus Christ name.God bless you and           God bless U.S.A.

Dare to Dream Big and Receive His Mercy

SCRIPTURES

"…No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him"(I Corinthians 2:9, NIV)

"…Mercy triumphs over judgment" (James 2:13, NIV) 

"…Whatever He says to you, do it" (John 2:5, NKJV)

TODAY'S WORD

What are the dreams and desires that you have for your future? Maybe you had some big dreams when you were younger, but things didn’t go the way you planned and so you put them aside and settled for status quo. We’ve all had disappointments, but we have to keep moving forward. Today is a new day, and we serve a God who makes all things new.

When you're feeling anxious, fearful, or worried about anything, remember He's on your side. If God is for you, who can be against you? He promises to guide and protect you and lead you into victory in every area of your life! 

When you listen to your heart, you are tuning in to what the Spirit of God is saying to you. You are coming into agreement with Him. Today, listen to your hear. This is what mercy is all about. His mercy will renew and restore you if you receive it by faith today. 

Let me challenge you to have a big dream for your life. I always say, when one dream dies, dream another dream. Don’t just settle for mediocrity, we serve a God who is above and beyond anything we can think of. There’s nothing you can dream of that God can’t do. Ask Him to bring you the right people, the right opportunities, and the right resources. As you follow His leading in your heart, I believe you’ll move forward and see every dream and desire come to pass in Jesus’ name!

Today, ask the Lord to search your mind and heart. Don’t let anything block His power. Whatever He says, do it and watch that obedience open the door to His blessing in every area of your life!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

"Father in heaven, thank You for a new day to praise Your name. I dedicate myself to You fresh and anew. Lead me in the ways of my heart and let everything I do bring glory to You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen."

MERRY CHRISTMAS

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God”
(John 1:12, NIV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

What an amazing privilege it is to know that when we receive Jesus, we become children of the Most High God! The scripture says we are “adopted” into His family. In the natural, by law an adoptive parent can never disown their adopted child. In the same way, God will never disown you! When you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you become a permanent part of God’s family.

This privilege is a free gift, and when you receive this gift, it’s the beginning of a long life of blessing. Receiving Him means receiving all that He is and all of His promises for your life. It’s a process, but God is the one working in your life, and He promises to complete what He’s started in you. Your part is to keep your heart open and receive by faith every gift, every promise and every blessing in His Word. Receive by saying thank you. Receive by declaring His truth over your life. Receive by obeying the Word of God. Put the Word of God into practice in your life and receive every blessing He has for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, thank You for the gift of eternal, abundant life. Today, I open my heart and mind to You. Have Your way in my heart and help me to receive the wonderful blessings You have for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen
