Month: January 2025

AWESOME GOD (34) Staying Secure in God:

If your source of information is only the secular media, I can’t even imagine how troubled you would be because of the evil but real reports of terrorism, plane crashes, etc.

We are living in a world where to some people, violence is the solution for their troubles.

The reality of our world today is that violent responses have become a part of life.

But does that mean we should live in fear, and be suspicious of strangers? Absolutely not.

For you the born again child of God, always remember that God has not given you the spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and of a sound mind (See 2 Timothy 1:7).

Therefore, like the Psalmist who declared:

“But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; My glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, That have set themselves against me round about.” (Psalm 4:3,6 KJV) , never allow fear of the unknown to trouble you.

This is the time to be steadfast in faith with the knowledge that God is able to protect you, no matter what the enemy is planning or has planned.

#MyPrayer4you:

I pray for the families that lost loved ones in New Orleans, USA, and the plane crashes in South Korea, and Kazakhstan, that God will comfort, and draw them to Himself.

I pray for you that your faith will grow so much so, that fears will no longer torment you, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

These past 34 days have been great lessons for us, and we are so thankful for the lessons in them all.

Let’s Read Psalm 4 for tomorrow, and share the insights we receive from the verses, as comments on my contents, and also on your profile pages.

AWESOME GOD (33) Ask Big.

Don’t be that person who exhibits false humility just for the approval of others, while hiding a heart that is full of pride. (See Colossians 2:23).

Let us be real. For as Christians,  we serve a real God who says in His Word:

“Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.( Psalm 2:8 KJV)

The newer translations have the Word “heathen” as ‘Nations’

Can you even comprehend that God desires for us His children to intercede for the nations by identifying with them?

Our asking this year should be of Big Things, beyond our wildest imagination.

The earth and everything in it belongs to God and we who are Christian’s are heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ (See Psalm 24, John 1:12, Romans 8:17)

This year is not the time to selfishly focus on personal needs. Rather,  we should identify with those in nations where Christianity is outlawed, and intercede for them.

We should ask God to give us those nations for our inheritance so that His Kingdom in us will come to them (Luke 17:21, 24: 46-47).

Just adopt one nation this year, and keep on interceding for them.

Let Us Pray:

Father God, thank you for Your goodness which led us to repentance.

We ask also, that your goodness will lead to repentance, the peoples of Afghanistan,  Pakistan,  India, Bangladesh and  all the other nations where Christianity is not freely practiced. 

As your Oracle,  I come against all the evil spirits influencing war, rape,  enslavement of women, anti Christianity, pedophilia, child marriages, satanism, occultism, false religion, caste system, religion, witchcraft, idolatry, divination, sorcery. poverty, and their relatives, and reassign them all to the feet of Jesus Christ. 

For this cause the Son of God manifested, to destroy the works of the devil, therefore, all rebelliousness, evil heartedness, disobedience and sinful inclinations are to self-destruct at once.

We release a deep hunger and thirst for the Only True God and His Word, to saturate the lands,  just as water covers the seas.

We proclaim liberty of worship for the peoples.

And in unity of faith, we command to disintegrate all evil laws and decree that hindered the people from freely worshipping  the Only True and Living God.

We ask Father God that the evil administrations be  ? removed, and replaced with those who will rule in righteousness.

Thank you for filling our hearts with joy and our mouths with laughter, in this new year: For we rest in the knowledge that You, our Father, will cause all things to work together for our good, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Our 40 days of fasting, prayers, and specified Bible reading ends on January 9th.

Tomorrow, reading and meditation will be from Psalm 3.

AWESOME GOD (32) Abound in Blessings.

We know that the blessings of God make us rich without sorrows. 

Today, which marks the first day, first week, first month and first Wednesday of this new year.

And according to our opening Scripture from Psalm 1:1; 

“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; And in his law doth he meditate day and night.” (Psalm 1:1-2 KJV).

How to  Abound in Blessings this new year:

1). Listen to Godly counsel.

2).  Refuse to listen to or be influenced by ungodly counsel.

3). Take a stand for God, and refuse to align with those whose  lives are governed by the works of the flesh (See Galatians 5:19-21 for a list)

4). Don’t support those who mock God and Godliness,  such as Christian  comedians who mock God and Christian virtues. 

5) Delight yourself in reading the Bible and Meditating on the Words you read.

This year must be different from the past years.

You must say no to gallopy blessings- your life is not hooked to a heart monitoring machine that keeps going up and down. 

You are well and alive and a RoyalPriest of God. 

Your course in life must be upward and forward, and you must become stronger and stronger.

For it is written that;

“The righteous also shall hold on his way, And he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.” ( Job 17:9 KJV)

See Proverbs 4:18 also.

In order to stay on the right course for your life,  you must

work on your relationship with God. 

What better way to do so, than to read your Bible daily. So that you can familiarize yourself with Who God is, His ways, His works and His mind.

All these are revealed in the pages of the Bible. 

Subscribe to a Daily Bible Reading Plan.

 I read different translations of the Bible every year. It has been a great developer of my Spiritual life.

You can do it! Be intentional and be disciplined.

Let us Pray :

Father God, thank you for bringing us safely into this new year.

In the remaining eight days of these spiritual exercises, I ask that you touch the lives of all those who joined us. Overwhelm them with your blessings without sorrows. 

We ask to experience your awesome greatness in manifold ways.

 We ask also, that you will use us to display your excellence and perfection to the world,  in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Proceed to Psalm 2, meditate on the Word and share your thoughts on your profile page or groups.

Be a blessing!

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior , January 1st 2025.

WELCOME TO 2025: The Year You Will Experience & Display The AWESOMENESS OF GOD.

You may have come a long way, but eternity which is longer, is still way ahead.

So, this year is the time to be  effective in displaying the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9), as you look forward to eternal life with Christ Jesus. 

As you begin this journey into this new season, be rest assured and know that,

“All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 KJV. 

Therefore,  grow in the love of God, and work at your calling. 

So that, you will fulfill God’s purpose for your life effortlessly, with the cooperation of everything in creation.

Refuse to be distracted by the rumors, political gymnastics, religious bigotry,  and socio-economic drama.  

Because,  if you observe those lying vanities, you will forsake your own mercy. (See Jonah 2:8), and share in the iniquities of others.(1 Timothy 5:22)

Instead, focus on the AWESOMENESS  of God who forms light, creates darkness,  makes peace, creates evil, and never lies. 

If He said it, He will do it.

He is God alone,  and He created this vast universe, all by Himself. (See Isaiah 45:7, Numbers 23:19, Nehemiah 9:6)

I encourage you this year to commence a journey of knowing God more, and start a daily Bible Exercise to help build up your Spiritual muscles. 

Set a goal to go through Genesis to Revelation within six (6) months. You need to push yourself and leave your comfort zone.

I pray that from this year on, you will experience God’s awesomeness in new ways, and become that person that people will see, and their eyes will have respect for God, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. 

Have an excellent great year displaying the AWESOMENESS of GOD. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior,  January 1st, 2025.
