The Lord's Theme For The Year

The Lord has crowned the year (2011) with His goodness and caused us to walk in His paths that drips with His fatness (Psalm 65:11)

Primed For Blessings

It is really awesome to realize that our Lord exceeds our expectations each time we believe on Him to supply all our needs and wants. In my last sharing of September 02, I mentioned that New Creation Church dedicated August 22 as the Miracle Seed Sunday and we were encouraged to sow bountifully believing the Lord for a great harvest.

My wife and I decided to sow a specific amount after we sold our house and have the available funds. Because the sale was legally completed only in the afternoon of Friday August 20 and the proceeds of the sale deposited into our account on Tuesday August 24 at the earliest, we decided to sow only on Sunday August 29 for technical reasons.

Praise Jesus for even before we could physically sow, I already had new enquiries for my business and some of these were very positive (we shall experience the harvest very shortly). You see, the Lord sees our hearts and considers it as done even before the physical act could take place.

Consider James 2:20-26: -
20 You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?
21 Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.
23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend.
24 You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.
25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction?
26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
There was a good 25 years gap between Abraham believing God for his miracle son Isaac and the offering of Isaac on Mt Moriah; likewise Rahab first believed the Lord when she heard the reports of how the Lord had delivered the children of Israel as they came out of Egypt and more than 30 years later her action of hiding the spies in her house in Jericho.


The Lord sees the heart and considers it as done and He calls our faith righteousness because the penalty price for all our misdeeds had been crucified with Christ on the cross and what is now left is for Him to lavish us with His love and His superabounding blessings - financial prosperity and health. All glory to Jesus. AMEN.

A New Believer's Prayer

Thank you Father for loving us so much that You sent Your precious Son Jesus Christ to this world to die for all our sins. I receive Jesus into my heart as my Lord and Savior.
Thank you that all my sins have been nailed to the Cross on Jesus at His death and because He died in our place, I am now saved forever. I have been made righteous in Your sight because of what Jesus did and I can now enjoy Your blessings over my life. Thank you for the privilege of being called Your Child and for the Gift of Your Holy Spirit in my life. AMEN
