ONE THING IS NEEDFUL

-




BIBLE REFERENCE: PSALMS 27: 4.

When we are able to harness our focus and concentrate on what is needful and prioritise our life, we will discover a new strength to push through oppositions and difficult times in our lives. This is also applicable to how we walk with God in our spiritual relationship with him, we must discover the most important thing in life and pursue it with our whole strength, mind and heart.
The psalmist, David discovered the presence of God as the ultimate place to be, a place to tap strength and wisdom, he saw it as a place of refuge and a stronghold from the storms of life, no wonder he fought and conquered all his foes without loosing in any battle. When you check all through the scripture you will discover that the people who truly walk with God and did wonders were those that recognise the importance of God's presence.
Moses was a lover of God's presence, he said if your presence will not go with them he will not even move an inch. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were men that discovered and follow through on God's presence, Job the righteous man was also another example, Elijah, Elisha, our Lord Jesus Christ sought God's presence everyday of his life. Do you remember Mary and Martha, they were sisters and love to follow Jesus but while Martha was always in kitchen, Mary was always found at the feet of Jesus learning something new and her attitude was commended by our Lord Jesus Christ.
Luke 10:41-42 New International Version (NIV)
41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[a] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
Only one thing is needful and that is the presence of the Lord, may you find peace and joy in his presence as you seek Him everyday of your life this year in Jesus name.

PRAYER OF THE DAY
Dear Lord Jesus take me to your presence and draw me nearer into your secret place.

'Set Your House in Order': A Prophetic Call for the Church to Repent

-

I had an encounter with the Lord recently while pressing in through 40 days of new access for the year 2019. I had been using this time of consecration to gain a fresh prophetic perspective for the New Year, when I was pulled out of a dream through the stirring of the Spirit to see Jesus coming as one on the clouds with His magnificent power and glory. When my eyes first beheld the sight of our Savior appearing in all His splendor, I was overwhelmed with His love and the brilliance of His presence. Almost spontaneously, as His radiant smile stretched across the light of His countenance, I cried out, "Lord, is that you? How will we know you?" He replied, 'Holly, time is short.' He then took me on a journey of understanding His heart for true restoration and redemption. And then He showed me how 2019 was a year of the comeback. "Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. Then He will send His angels and gather H...

Doing the Work? Planning out just one goal each day makes all the difference. NEXT » Image credit: Hero Images | Getty Images Dan Dowling CONTRIBUTOR Founder of MillennialSuccess.io, coach July 24, 2018 Your dreams are as realistic as the work you’re willing to put in. So how much work are you putting in? You don’t have to do a lot, initially. But you do have to be consistent -- as in “every day” consistent. Because there are a million things that everyday people like you and me have to deal with, that stand between us and our goals, that rock us off center. Each of those interruptions are challenges, though. And they’re asking us, “How bad do you want it? How much work will you  still  put in?” Related:  The Most Important 20 Minutes of the Day How much work are you putting in? Success is the daily work you put in. It’s the excuses you ignore.
