 THE SHEPHERD LORD


MEMORY VERSE: - Psalm 23:1 - "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."

Who is a shepherd? A person who tends, herds, feeds, or guards herds of sheep... Or a person who protects, guides, or watches over a person or group of people. 

David declared the Lord to be his Shepherd instead of man because firstly, as one who trusted in the Lord to take care of him in every way, he was well cared for. The Lord provided him with all his needs and supplied all his wants, wherefore he said, "I shall not want."

Certainly, no one who trusts' in the Lord is disappointed. The scripture says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;" Proverbs 3:5. To lean is to depend, to rely on, to put ones confidence in, count on, bank on. 

If you trust someone to do something, you believe that they will do it. Because you believe in, have faith in, depend on, count on that person. So, when you trust God, you believe, have faith and you know that you can count on Him to help you and grant your request. 

Assuredly, you can always depend on God in a crisis. You depend on Him to keep his promises. But you can't always depend on man because they will fail you. A lot of people claim to be trusting in God while in the actual sense their trust is truly in man, and they get disappointed.

 Secondly, David knew the Lord will always help him no matter the circumstances... Thus, he looked unto Him no matter what. Hence he said, I will lift up my eyes to the hills.... 

Thirdly, He knows the Lord will always lead him to the right place where he will enjoy good success. Thus he declared in the next line, "He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters" Make the Lord your shepherd today.


 PRAYER

Thank you heavenly father for being my shepherd, guiding and taking care of all my needs. And now, I trust you for greater heights, deeper insight in Jesus name, Amen

MEMBERS OF GOD'S FAMILY 2

  AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational MEMBERS OF GOD'S FAMILY 2 MEMORY VERSE: - 2 Corinthians 3:6 - “He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.” Like I said in the part one of this topic, Jesus did not come to bring another religion but to bring sons and daughters unto the Father.  Religion is nothing but an ideology, but relationship and family is the real thing. Wherefore, Christ has enabled us to be children of God by the Spirit not of laws (religion). The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life. Living in religion kills but being a man or woman of relationship gives life. What Satan is using to rob people of their right to experiencing God's full package for them is religion.  Religion is a mock, a counterfeit, and a deception. But that which God offers us is relationship by the power of the Spirit.  Christianity is not in religion but an

AVOID DIVERSIONS

AVOID DIVERSIONS MEMORY VERSE: - Jonah 1:3 - "But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the LORD. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the LORD by sailing to Tarshish” (NLT) One of the ways the devil is using to rub many people of their blessing is through diversions. The Lord gave a message to Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh and announce his judgment against it because of their wickedness but Jonah chose not to go, instead he went another way and his own way the scripture says was the "Opposite Direction." Oftentimes, people choose to go the opposite direction against God's original agenda for them when things are not going as planned. When vision is being delayed and when they are hit with challenges and difficulties in the process of trying to achieve what they were given to do. In the opposite direction is confusion.... In the opposi

NOW IS YOUR MOMENT

  AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational   NOW IS YOUR MOMENT MEMORY VERSE: - John 11:21-24, "Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day"   A lot of people pray but do not believe they can have the answer to their request immediately. Their faith is always in the future. The mindset of future has kept them from embracing that which is theirs at the moment. Thus, they neglect the place of faith in the now of today’s experience. While Martha could only think of the future as the only time her brother could rise again from the dead, Jesus was seeing it happening in the moment. Beloved, it's time to wake up and begin to walk in the 'now' faith. What is now? It means at the present time or moment. it is right
