A New Creation 3/8/2010 Devotional

wordinsong | 08 March, 2010 20:59

Devotional
As Christians, we can put our past behind us and look forward to a brand new future. The person that once filled these shoes is dead and gone, and a new person stands as a testimony of what God has done. When you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior you become His new creation, created in His likeness.
Scripture Reference
2nd Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Action Point
 Tell others about the change that He made in you, and let your life be a living testimony of what God has done.

No Small Parts 3/7/2010 Devotional

wordinsong | 07 March, 2010 21:07

Devotional
Growing up, I was involved in community theater. They would always say, there is no such thing as a small part. Each actor, singer, stage hand, light designer, and even the person at the ticket booth had an important role in the production, and each were equally important. We all have an important role in the body of Christ as well. There are no small parts in the church. Each and every person is important, and valued.
Scripture Reference
1st Corinthians 12:22-23
No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty,
Action Point
Do your part in the body of Christ. Let the Lord lead you in how, and where you serve. Remember that we all have a part in God's plan.

An Open Door 3/6/2010 Devotional

wordinsong | 06 March, 2010 22:14

Devotional
To those who call on the name of Jesus, He will open the door for us to come into His kingdom. We always have an open invitation. The question is will we receive it. When we receive it, the door will be opened and no one can shut it. If we are in Christ, our salvation is secure.
Scripture Reference
Revelation 3:8
"I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 
 

Action Point
Accept the invitation. Just like a good neighbor, the door is always open, and He is always happy to hear from you.

Study The Word 3/5/2010 Devotional

wordinsong | 05 March, 2010 21:06

Devotional
As Christians, we need to hold true to what the Bible teaches. We can't just take bits and pieces and interpret them to fit our needs. We all have had people say "well this is what I believe!" When it comes to the Bible, there is no room for debate. The word of God is true and complete. You can't take verses out of context to make it fit your beliefs.
 
 
Scripture Reference
John 7:18
"He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.


Action Point
Be diligent in studying the Word of God. Don't add to it, and don't take away from it. Examine what is being taught and rely on the full council of God.

Teach Us To Pray Pt 7 3/4/2010 Devotional

wordinsong | 04 March, 2010 19:29

Devotional
God cannot tempt us with evil. God, however will sometimes allow us to be tested, and tried. It is Satan, who will often times lead us astray. This petition would be better translated as Lord, don't let me go down the wrong path, but if I do, help deliver me out of the situation.


 
Scripture Reference
Matthew 6:13
And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

 

 Action Point
When you find yourself in the midst of trials and tribulations, remember that there is a way of deliverance. When the flesh has failed you, call on the name of the Lord, and He will bring you through.

wordinsong | 03 March, 2010 20:24

Devotional
Lord forgive us where we have failed you and help us to forgive others the way you have forgiven us. When you received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, your sins are forgiven. We need to model God's love in all that we do. We need to forgive the sins of others as God forgave us.
 
 
Scripture Reference
Matthew 6:12
And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.
 
 
Action Point
Is there someone who you need to forgive? Model the love of Jesus. Forgive them as we have been forgiven.

Teach Us To Pray Pt 5 3/2/2010 Devotional

wordinsong | 02 March, 2010 19:55

Devotional
When the Israelites were wandering in the desert, God provided manna each day for them to eat. In the same manner, we are to look to God to provide for our daily needs. This should be a reminder that we need God each and every day.
 

Scripture Reference
Matthew 6:11
Give us this day our daily bread.
 

Action Point
Are you trusting in God to provide your daily needs, or are you trusting in people, jobs, and money? All these other things are not guaranteed, but God will always provide what you need. Give us this day our daily bread. Trust that God will provide.

Teach Us To Pray Pt 4 3/1/2010 Devotinal

wordinsong | 01 March, 2010 19:56

Devotional
So many times we want things done our way. We want it, and we want it now... When we go to God in prayer, we need to realize that it is not our will that is important. Remember that God hears our prayers, but sometimes the answer is not the one we want.
 
 
Scripture Reference
Matthew 6:10
Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.


Action Point
As you pray, seek His will. Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, Mt 26:39b  "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will." God doesn't always answer yes. Sometimes it is no, or not yet.

Teach Us To Pray Pt 3 2/28/2010 Devotional

wordinsong | 28 February, 2010 21:00

Devotional
Have you ever stopped to think of how holy the name of God is. The Jewish people avoid writing the name of God for fear that it might be defaced. The scribes held the name of God in such high esteem, that they had a special pen that they only used to write God's name. When we pray we are entering the Holiest of all places. He is Holy, Holy, Holy. Lord God almighty. 
Scripture Reference
Matthew 6:9
"In this manner, therefore, pray:   Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

 
Action Point
Stop for a second, before the next time you pray. How are you going to approach your Father in heaven? Will you just casually say His name, or will you reverence His name?

Teach Us To Pray Pt 2 2/27/2010 Devotional

wordinsong | 27 February, 2010 21:16

Devotional
As Christians, we have direct access to the Father. When the temple veil was torn in two, it signified that the way to the Father had been made. There was no longer a need to have a priest make intercession because the righteous requirement of the law had been fulfilled. We can go directly to Him.


 
Scripture Reference
Matthew 6:9
"In this manner, therefore, pray:   Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

 

Action Point
It is because of the cross, and the blood that was shed for us that we can boldly go before the throne of God and call out Abba Father. Spend time with Him in prayer. Go boldly before the throne of God.

Teach Us To Pray Pt 1 2/26/210 Devotional

wordinsong | 26 February, 2010 20:02

Devotional
Prayer is such a simple thing to do, yet many people do not understand prayer. Even the disciples asked Jesus; "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples." Jesus then gives them a model prayer. The next week or two we will be taking a look at this prayer.  
 

Scripture Reference
Luke 11:1
Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples."
Action Point
Prayer is an important part of a close relationship with the Father. If we are to have that close relationship, we need to take time each day to talk to Him. The most important point to learn about prayer, is that we just need to do it.

His Voice 2/25/2010 Devotional

wordinsong | 25 February, 2010 20:51

Devotional
I remember as a child, hearing my dad call my name. There was no mistaking who he was talking to. He didn't have to say it twice. He called me by my name. In the same way, the LORD calls us by name, and when your Father is calling your name, you will know it.
 
 

Scripture Reference
Isaiah 43:1
But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name;
You are Mine.
 

Action Point
The Father is calling you by name. The question is whether you are willing to respond. Whether it be a call to salvation, or a call to serve, He is speaking to you.

Restoration 2/24/2010 Devotional

wordinsong | 24 February, 2010 21:19

Devotional
As Christians, and ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ, our goal in ministry should always be restoration. No matter what has happened in the past, the LORD is able to restore. Even the vilest offender who truly believes, that moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
Scripture Reference
Joel 2:25
"So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten,
The crawling locust,
The consuming locust,
And the chewing locust,
My great army which I sent among you.
Action Point
Remember that in order for ministry to be effective, there needs to be restoration. This is God's plan for each of us. It all starts with a restored relationship with the Lord.

Talk To The Mountain 2/23/2010 Devotional

wordinsong | 23 February, 2010 21:06

Devotional
As I spoke with a friend today, I was reminded of how weak the flesh is, and how powerful God is. Even though he was facing a mountain, his attitude was positive. We all face trials and tribulations in our lives. When we do, we need to look at the mountain that we are facing, and tell it how big God is.
Scripture Reference
2nd Corinthians 13:4
For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you.
Action Point
Never underestimate the power of God. Even when you are facing a mountain, remember that we have a God that is bigger.  Live your life not in your weakness, but in the power of a mighty God.
