Quoted Verse: Psalm 119:52  

“ I remember Your ancient laws, O Lord, and i find comfort in them. "

Message: 

Years ago i remember that one time when i was buying a pair of shoes, the sales assistant wanted to see my driver's licence and a major credit card in addition before he could take my personal cheque. After i produced all the identification he wanted, i asked him if he knew why he needed all this. " Its store policy, " he said. 

I told him that it was not the real reason, and when he asked me what i meant, i told him, " The reason you need all this identification is Romans 3:23: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. If man was not sinful, you wouldn't need all this. " 

Our society is built around the premise that a person's word cannot be trusted. But that is never an issue when we deal with God and His Word. 

REFLECTIONS: MY ATTORNEY - AN AFTERLIFE EXPERIENCE

After living what I felt was a “decent” life, my time on earth came to the end. The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting room of what I thought to be a courthouse. The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table.

As I looked around I saw the “prosecutor.” He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me. He definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen. I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney, a kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed so familiar to me, I felt I knew Him.

THE POWER OF THANKSGIVING

The POWER OF THANKSGIVING - Mark 08/06-

"And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people."

Jesus came face to face with the dilemma of feeding 4000 men in the wilderness-"And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?" Mark 08/04

But Jesus explored the power of thanksgiving to multiply 7 loaves of bread and satisfy 4000 men-"So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. And they that had eaten were about four thousand" Mark 8:8,9

Thanksgiving is your super catalyst to overturn all your miseries into miracles-:

1. Jehoshaphat explored the awesome power of thanksgiving to defeat his enemies and cart away incredible spoil- 2Chron.20:25

SEE YOUR ENEMIES FLEE BECAUSE OF JESUS

SEE YOUR ENEMIES FLEE BECAUSE OF JESUS - DEUTERONOMY 28:7

“The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.

Some people think that Jesus and the devil are always confronting and fighting each other. But when I read my Bible, I don’t see fights between the two. What I see is the devil having to flee whenever he encounters Jesus!

Consider the demoniac from the country of the Gadarenes in Luke 8:26–39. The demons in the man begged Jesus not to torment them or send them into the abyss, but to permit them to enter a herd of swine nearby.

WHO HAS THE HIGHEST PLACE AND IS FOREVER GLORIFIED? MANY YET DESPISE HIM, THE EXACT IMAGE OF GOD

Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Phillipians 2:9-11 NIV

God Exalted His Word above His Name. The Highest place is Given to and reserved for Him; so much so that at the Name of Jesus, every knee shall bow in Heaven and on earth and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord! His Name is the Highest and He Sits Enthroned on High forever and ever. Halleluyah! Amen!!!
