to god be all glory

god's word to me

Then he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and he came and stood before him. And he said, “Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth but in Israel; so accept now a present from your servant.” 16 But he said, “As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none.” And he urged him to take it, but he refused. 17 Then Naaman said, “If not, please let there be given to your servant two mules' load of earth, for from now on your servant will not offer burnt offering or sacrifice to any god but the Lord. 2 Kings 4

god speaks to me about all glory going to him and all credit to him too. elisha refused to accept the present from the man and this is symbolic of him refusing to receive any credit for what has happened.

our attitude should be the same. when god blesses us with success, our hearts should always be humble before god and give all glory and thanks to god. we should always acknowledge to god that he alone is the source of the successes and blessings.

give us a heart of humility o lord, that all glory goes to your name.

25 He went in and stood before his master, and Elisha said to him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?” And he said, “Your servant went nowhere.” 26 But he said to him, “Did not my heart go when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Was it a time to accept money and garments, olive orchards and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male servants and female servants? 27 Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your descendants forever.” So he went out from his presence a leper, like snow.

gehazi was greedy for material things and he coverted and lied to get what he wanted. he might think that no one sees but god's eyes is everywhere. god saw it and punished him with leprosy.

we should guard our hearts from greed. let us be satisfied with god and him alone, believing that he alone is our jehovah jireh who provides for all our needs.

let us not covert but pursue god and his righteousness and kingdom.

amen.

prayer for adults: our walk with god

dear lord
your word says that the way of man is not in himself. it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.

therefore lord i pray you will direct our steps. lead us in your light, teach us your way so we will wlak in your truth. i pray we will have a deeper wlak with you and an ever prefresing hunger for your word. may your presence be like a delicacy we never cease to crave.

leade us on your path and mke us quick to confess when we stray from it.

reveal to us any hidden sin that would hinder us from walkig rightly before you.

may we experiece deep repentance whe we do not live in obedience to your laws.

create in us a clean heart and renew a steadfast spirit in us.

do not cast us away from your presnece adn do not take your holy spirit from us.

your word says that those who are in the flesh cannot please you so i pray that you will enable ernest stef mum dad and i to walk in teh spirit and not in the flesh and keep ourselces from the paths of the destroyer.

as we walk in the spirit may we bear the fruit of the spirit which is love joy peace pateience kindess goodness faithfulness gentleness and self control.

keep us on the highway of holiness so that the way we walk will be intergrated into every part of our lives.

enable us to wlak worthy of the calling with which we were called with all lowliness and gentleness with long suffereing bearing with one another in love. eph 4:1

prayer for josef deborah and dora

lord jesus
i pray that you will keep josef deborah and dora free from any addiction esp to alcohol or durgs. make them strong in you draw them clse and enable them to put you in control of their lives.

speak to their hearts show them the path they should walk and help them see that protecting their body from things that destroy is a part of their service to you.

i pray that you will thwart any plan satan has to destroy their lives thru alcohol and drugs and take away anthing in their perosnality that will be drawn to thse substances. your word says there is a way that seems right to a man but its end is the way of death.

give them discernment and stregth to be able to say no to things that bring death and yes to the things of god that bring life. may they clearly see the truth whenever tempted and be delivered from teh evila one when trapped.

enable them to choose life in whtever they do and my their only addiction be to the things of god.

i pray that all things they do with their body be done to your glory.

therefore if the son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. john 8:36.

amen.

testimony

i have been praying for deborah that god will take away any unhealthy fear in her towards dogs.

yesterday when we walked pass a big dog, debbie said ' this dog not bite mei mei". i was pleasantly surprised. praise god.

praise god too that deborah has received christ into her heart last week.

she prayed to god by herself and i was surprsied to hear her singing

jesus help me this i know
for the bible tells me so.

she prayed to god to help her about her fears of dogs and in her song she sings about it, replacing the word love with help.

praise god for this little sis in christ.

amen.
