Good morning everyone. This is a message to encompass the first 3 days of this new month. As I sit here this morning I feel a push on my spirit to give thanks to God for all of you, my spiritual brothers and sisters. In this rough stretch I’m going through right now I feel like Apostle Paul felt about the Philippians when I think of you as a group. Please let the scripture I’m about to share minister to your soul.
Today’s Prayer
The scripture below is what I’m felling in my heart and soul for each and every one of you on this and everyday. May God and all of you be blessed in it.
Let’s eat.
Paul’s Thanksgiving and Prayer
Philippians 1:3-11
Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now. And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. So it is right that I should feel as I do about all of you, for you have a special place in my heart. You share with me the special favor of God, both in my imprisonment and in defending and confirming the truth of the Good News. God knows how much I love you and long for you with the tender compassion of Christ Jesus. I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God.
Quote of the Day
Too many churches today are devoid of the Spirit of Pentecost because they are dry and stale, where people are in a stupor; where worship services are wooden and so scripted that they are hollow; where the preaching is dull and flat; where the singing is Geritol-tired and without the vim and vigour which speaks of a crucified, died and risen Lord; where if anyone taps his foot and says, “Amen”, he is stared into
silence, and if anyone shouts, “Thank you, Jesus” the people call the EMS or 911!
