The Supremacy of the Son of God

15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

LYRICS:

You calm angry storms 

You muzzle hurricanes 

Water You walked, even the seas obey 

There’s nothing that You cannot do 

Nothing that’s too difficult for You

You open blind eyes, do many miracles 

Raise dead to life, work the impossible 

There’s nothing that You cannot do 

Nothing that’s too difficult for You 

You can shake the highest mountains

and You can make the desert sing 

More than we can dare imagine 

You’re the God whose power 

Can answer our prayer

Let Your kingdom come 

Let these mountains move 

Let unanswered prayer rise again to You 

For the more we ask, it’s the more You’ll do 

My heart is bursting again 

God of power break through 

You crushed even death 

Now there’s an empty grave 

Rose up in strength, to rule eternity 

There’s nothing that You cannot do

 Nothing that’s too difficult for You

 So we rise up in faith, all things are possible 

When we call on Your name O God of miracles 

There’s nothing that we cannot do 

Nothing that’s impossible with You 

Whatever we ask in Your name

 Whatever we call out in faith 

You have promised You'll do

1 Chronicles 29:10,  David's prayer

“Praise be to you, Lord,
    the God of our father Israel,
    from everlasting to everlasting.
11 Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.
12 Wealth and honor come from you;
you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
to exalt and give strength to all.
13 Now, our God, we give you thanks,
and praise your glorious name.

12 Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled

15“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, 
the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
16 the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light,
and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death,
on them a light has dawned.”

Jesus has come to shine his light through your life..

Father, we decree that any darkness in any aspect of our life, let it be dispel in Jesus's name. Father, Let there be a light be released,

 

His word will be our salvation.

My dear friends, here is a beautiful worship song to the glory of our Lord Jesus-Christ and I hope it will bring  you comfort in the difficult time we are all facing. Nicky x

You reign!

You Reign
Simon Brading

Though i walk upon ground

That is rugged and uneven Your faithful hand won't lead me astray
Through the rain and the clouds, Where the sun is barely shining Your grace surrounds my life everyday, everyday (x2)
You reign Yesterday today forevermore, forevermore You reign in every circumstance You are good, You are good
And You hold in Your hands Every star, the sun and moon Yet those hands are marred And wounded from nails.
Precious blood at the cross Was poured out for the nations And this love that drove salvation never fails Your love never fails

You reign Yesterday today forevermore, forevermore You reign in every circumstance You are good, You are good You rule the world You rule the world, You reign You are the name above all names The King above all kings, You reign.
You are good, You are good

I will extol the Lord at all times

Today, our bible reading is Psalm 34, and the author of  the Scriptures Union commentary stresses the importance of testimony. 

Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left.
1 I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
2 I will glory in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
3 Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
6 This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
9 Fear the Lord, you his holy people,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
11 Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,
13 keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies.
14 Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
16 but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to blot out their name from the earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
19 The righteous person may have many troubles,
but the Lord delivers him from them all;
20 he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.
21 Evil will slay the wicked;
the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord will rescue his servants;
no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.

Listening to other brothers or sisters in Christ is not only encouraging for everybody in the assembly but it also gives us strength to do the same. We may be led to share our testimony when we fellowship, prompted by the Holy Spirit. Also, we may witness to other people outside church, those who don't know yet about the love of God . Planting seeds. 

I find it a delight to remember those precious and numerous moments in my life. Testimonies are those heartfelt experiences when the Lord has touched our heart. 

Psalm 34 verse 8 says: 

Taste and see the the Lord is good; 

blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him

This verse is awesome! You may wonder why it says 'taste' here. We need to feed on the Word of God all the time otherwise we will wither. Thus, the Lord Jesus said,“Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out through the mouth of God” (Matthew. 4:4). Jesus is quoting the Bible, Deuteronomy 8, the end of verse 3:

2 Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. 3 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. 4 Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years. 5 Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.

Also, the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah spoke about this spiritual nourishment, he said, “Your words were found and I ate them, and Your word became to me the gladness and joy of my heart” (Jeremiah 15:16).

A prayer tonight!

Thank you Lord for those precious moments when we know that your are by us, looking after us, caring for us. Thank you for what our Lord Jesus-Christ did for us on the cross, thank you for the promise of our salvation. Holy Spirit, help us witness to other as when you lead us. We ask you in the mighty name of our Saviour Jesus-Christ amen.
