God is the only God

 I thank God that He provides me with everything richly to enjoy!

PRAYER - "Pray That Men May Know God Defends Israel"

Asaph prayed to God, "hold not thy peace, and be not still." "Thine enemies make a tumult: ...They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, ...They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance." Even now, as in ancient times, God alone will save Israel.

Psalms 83:17-18 - "Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth."

PRINCIPALS - "There Is Only One God. All Nations Will Worship Him"

In the midst of one of David's earnest prayers for God's help, he made several profound declarations concerning God. "Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name." Two eternal truths are affirmed here: God is the only God, and all nations will finally worship Him. No power on earth can change that.

Psalms 86:10 - "For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone."

PRINCIPLES - "Revival"

One of the greatest principles in the Bible is revival. Since creation's dawn, God was the giver of life. Not only can God create and give life, but He has the power to resurrect that which has died. Throughout the scriptures we see examples of God raising the dead. Ezekiel saw Israel as a valley of dried bones, but the Spirit of God came on them and they revived. Destroyed in 70 AD, Israel revived in 1948. I believe in divine revivals.

Psalms 85:6 - "Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?"

PROPHECIES - "The Foundation Of God Is In Zion"

The world wonders how the Middle East crisis will ever be resolved. Powerful men from powerful nations exhaust themselves daily, looking for ways to settle "the Jerusalem issue." Who will ultimately control Jerusalem? God will. He set Israel above all nations, and Jerusalem above all cities. The psalmist reveals that when He (Messiah) comes to reign, multitudes will wish they were born there.

Psalms 87: 1-3 - "His foundation is in the holy mountains. The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God."

• I thank God that He  provides me with everything richly to enjoy.

• No matter the size of our offerings, the Lord receives and uses them for His glorious purposes and blesses others through us.

• In some circles, we have a tendency to hedge our requests as if to “give God an out” in case healing does not occur.

• Elisha is so committed to serving God that he refuses Elijah’s request and goes with him to Bethel.

• If you find yourself stopping short of actually asking God to act, you are not praying in faith.

• Would God command you to pray if he had no intention of involving himself in your affairs?

• Don’t build your prayer habit upon faithless mutterings. Pray in faith.

• The word apostle comes from apostolos, which in Greek means “a messenger, one sent forth.”
