MY PURPOSE IS TO ENJOY GOD FOREVER

*MY PURPOSE IS TO ENJOY GOD FOREVER*

_Key Bible Text:_
*Seek your happiness in the Lord , and he will give you your heart's desire.*
(Psalm 37:4 (GNT))

Bible Insight:_
*Lie: “God tolerates me.”*

Have you ever felt like you’re not doing enough for God? Maybe deep inside you think you don’t:
· Pray enough
· Attend church enough
· Share your faith enough
· Change the world enough

One of the reasons the Accuser keeps telling you you’re not doing enough for God is he wants you to see God as a taskmaster and a tyrant. He wants you to believe God doesn’t really love you; he merely tolerates you. Why? Because if the Accuser can convince you that you’re a spiritual failure who has to earn God’s approval, _then he is more likely to persuade you to quit trying altogether._

Yet, from the beginning God wanted only one thing from you: you.

The Savior has spoken love over you since time’s first tick—when He fashioned you, when you took your first breath. God did not recoil when you released your first cry. He leaned in. God did not retreat in your most regrettable adolescent moment. He provided safe refuge. God did not withdraw when you raised your fist at him in anger. He opened his arms toward you. God never went silent on you, even when you went silent on him.

God cherishes you more than you cherish yourself. He adores you so much that when you were far from him, he sent his only Son, Jesus, to die for you so he could walk hand in hand with you forever (Romans 5:8). When God looks at you, he sings, dances, and shouts for joy (Zephaniah 3:17). Oh, how God enjoys you!

MEDITATION:
*I allow my soul and the fibers of my being to rest in his fierce love.*

FINANCING MISSIONS (II)

*DAILY DEW 21ST/DECEMBER/2021* *FINANCING MISSIONS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.* (Galatians 6:2, 10 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ How do we get it?  Perhaps if I were to tell you how we do NOT get it, it would help. We do not raise it by means of suppers, bazaars, concerts, rummage sales, or oyster stews. Not because I am against these methods, but because they will not work. What does a business man do when he runs across a method that will not work? He scraps it, does he not?  Now listen. I am responsible, humanly speaking, for the personal support of three hundred and fifty missionaries. Every month of my life I have to get more than $25,000, or humanly speaking, they will starve.  How many of you business men carry as heavy a responsibility? What would you do if you had to get $25...

THE WAY OF THE CROSS (II)

Image
*DAILY DEW 16TH/SEPTEMBER/2021* *THE WAY OF THE CROSS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.* (1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ *Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from both the penalty and the power of sin.* (1 Peter 2:24 New American Standard Bible) What are the benefits that accrue to us from following the cross, or carrying the cross to follow Jesus? In answering this, we need to understand that it is the death and resurrection of Jesus on the cross that gives the cross its power.  "1. Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from the penalty of sin." This is clearly the meaning of the words, “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree.” By using the word “tree” rather than “cross,” Peter no doubt had in mind Deuteronomy 21:22-23, where it pre...

TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS*

Image
*DAILY DEW 24TH/DECEMBER/2021* *TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him."* (Job 13:15 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ It's an uphill task trying to understand God's plan, especially when we can't make logical sense of what we see happening to and around us. But we aren't instructed to understand His plans, but to TRUST HIM and be secure in the knowledge that He's working everything to ultimately turn out for our good.  God won't mismanage your life. Trust Him with it and be willing and quick to obey His instructions even when they don't fit into your parameter of what's logical. One of the truest form of worship we can give to God is to TRUST Him - leaning our entire existence on the unchangeability of His nature and counsels. ❤ _MEDITATION:_ *In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.* (Psalms 71:1 (KJV)) *#Chibuikem_...
