Verse of the Day

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 NKJV

Aah yes. Rest for the weary soul. The rock in a weary land. The shelter in a time of a storm. The bridge over troubled waters. The water in the desert. The light at the end of the dark tunnel. He provides it all. What do you need? Are you tired? Weary? Cumbered with a lot of cares? Shackled by a heavy burden? Beneath a mountain of troubles?  Then turn to the Savior. He'll be whatever you want him to be. He has the solution to every problem. He wants you and you need Him. Don't turn Him away...

Verse of the Day

1 John 5

New King James Version (NKJV)

5 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. ² By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. ³ For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. ⁴ For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our^[a] faith. ⁵ Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

We Will Not Relent

I may not be fasting 24/7 now but haven't stopped fasting and praying for God to work on the release of Jason Kent. (Matthew 19:26).

Jason could do a lot more good to society as a free man than incarcerated. Much has happened since he went to prison and many who encountered Jason while locked up themselves has changed as a result of their encounter with him.

Because of Jason two young ladies (older is now about eighteen years old) were saved from losing their innocence and now live decent lives. Jason should be considered a kindhearted young man for sparing these two young ladies who were once his step daughters, the agony of a defeated lifestyle, to become the respected young ladies they are today. Had it not been for Jason they probably would have turned into victims of prolonged abuse which sometimes result in prostitution or even worse due to low self esteem and victims of guilt mentality(from their abuse).

Thank you Jason. We will not stop praying until our prayers are answered. Please God do whatever it takes, leave no stone unturned to FREE JASON KENT. WIth You all things are possible(Matthew 19:26).

Today's Scripture

The Proclamation of The Immaculate Conception

“[Christ’s Birth Announced to Mary] Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”” Luke 1:26-28 NKJV

When The Time Is Right

“But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.” Galatians 4:4-5

God does nothing before the time. He loves us so much that He will turn up late (in our eyes) when we desperately need Him (John 11).

A songwriter says, "He may not come when we want Him, but He'll be there right on time. Because He's an ontime God, yes He is."

There has been some moments in my life when He showed up late (in my eyes) but when He did He took care of the matter and everything was alright thereafter.

Prayer: Lord thank you for showing up especially when in our eyes You were running late. Thank You for helping us to understand (through your actions) that You showed up just at the right time.

Encouragement: Trust in the Lord and whatever He promised. It may seem to be taking such a long time that you may think He either forgot or changed His mind. God never does any of those. He never forgets and never goes back on His word. If He said that He would do it, it will SURELY come to pass.

The Rich Man and Lazarus

 

¹⁹ “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. ²⁰ But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, ²¹ desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell^[d] from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. ²² So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. ²³ And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

²⁴ “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ ²⁵ But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. ²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’

²⁷ “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, ²⁸ for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ ²⁹ Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ ³⁰ And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ ³¹ But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’”
