Our Covenant Keeping God

The Word of God is powerful, edifying, sanctifying, and full of promises for His children. We want the Word of God to be so firmly rooted in our hearts that no one can steal it away, twist The Truth of it, or we forget about it. We need to remind ourselves on a daily basis that God keeps His promises. The Bible says that “God is not a man that He should lie” and that whatever He speaks will not return to him void (“empty or without fruit”) (Numbers 23:19 & Isaiah 55: 11).

I know that sometimes when I get stressed out, anxious or worried about things. I quickly forget what the Word says. I can find myself focusing so much on my problems that I forgot about the promises of God. We are reminded in Joshua 1: 8 that we should not let the Word of God “depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.”

I believe it is to the best of our benefits if we keep the promises of God in our hearts and minds at all times. I believe they should flow out of us (“The mouth speaks of what the heart is full of.” Luke 6: 45) in whatever situation we find ourselves in.

Let’s try our best to meditate on these words so we can use them in whatever situation we find ourselves in: there are many others but here is some to get us started!

Jehovah Jireh: God will provide (Genesis 22: 14)

Jehovah Rapha: The God who Heals (Exodus 15:26)

Jehovah Nissi: The Lord is my banner (Exodus 17: 15)

Jehovah Tsidkenu: The Lord is our righteousness (Jeremiah 23: 6)

Jehovah Shalom: The Lord our Peace (Judges 6:24)

Jehovah Rohi: The Lord our Shepherd (Psalm 23:1)

Jehovah M’Kaddesh: The Lord who Sanctifies You (Exodues 31:13)

Jehovah Shammah: The Lord is There (Ezekiel 48:35)

Jehovah Sabaoth: The Lord of Hosts (1 Samuel 1:3, Isaiah 1: 24, Psalm 46:7)


Warm Wishes,

Hitting “Air Pockets”

  Hitting “Air Pockets” These past months from May to now has been “air pocket” months. Early yesterday morning, God deposited this blog into my heart. To be honest with you, I was not going to write a blog for the ending of this year, but God said, “no, here is your blog notes. I’m gonna do a download at 6:15am in the morning!” Friends, I fought getting up because I had just gone to bed at 1:30a that morning but I got up to write this and hope it touches your heart as we end this year. My last blog was published March 2024 and as I opened my blog notes document, I saw the beginnings of a blog that I started to write but never finished.   Life can be full of bitterness, anguish, heartache, and at times, all may seem hopeless. Life for Naomi was not going according to her plan. In fact, she believed that God was working against her. Friends, there will be times in life where you’ll feel just like Naomi did. She experienced a severe famine, relocated to a new place, her ...

Crowded

  There were many crowds that followed Jesus during His ministry. Jesus did so many miracles, preached to so many, and had many followers. The crowd gravitated towards Jesus, and it didn’t matter where He was or how far He had to travel. When Jesus was preaching in the temple at a young age, there was a crowd. When He got baptized, there was a crowd. When a group of friends lowered their friend in front of Jesus, there was a crowd. When He saved the woman from being stoned, there was a crowd. When He healed the woman with the issue of blood, there was a crowd. When he rose up Lazarus, there was a crowd. He fed the five thousand, not including women and children…what a crowd! I could go on, but during Jesus’ ministry, you rarely read about Jesus not having crowds around Him. The “great crowd” that was in Jerusalem before the Passover took palm branches on their way to meet Jesus. (John 12: 12-19). The crowd was shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! B...

On The Way To Bethlehem

  You probably could tell the story of Jesus being born without even reading the Bible verses as reference. Just go in a store and look at their Christmas inventory. You would find scripture verses, angels, stars, wise men, shepherds, and the ever-famous Nativity scene. What is the significance of the Nativity scene? Can we integrate its importance and significance in our everyday lives? Of course we can! Its meaning is not just for Christmas time, it should be for everyday of our lives. Let’s reflect on the responses from “characters” in this story. Mary, the virgin : I am always amazed at Mary’s response during her visitation with Angel Gabriel and the posture of her heart throughout this story. Her response tells us that she accepted and was willing to be used by God: “I am the Lord’s servant…may your word to me be fulfilled.” Mary realized that her life had a greater purpose and a higher calling during her conversation with Gabriel. She even sang a song during her visit with ...
