"Ask, and it will be given to you; 

seek, and you will find; 

knock, and it will be opened to you."

(Matthew 7:7 ; Luke 11:9)

Seek means to go in search or quest of (to seek the truth), to try to find or discover by searching or questioning (to seek the solution to a problem). First recorded before 900; Middle English seken, Old English sēcan; cognate with German suchen, Old Norse sœkja, Gothic sōkjan; akin to Latin sāgīre “to perceive by scent”. (Dictionary.com)

“Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you" (Mt 6:33).

Seek the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have mercy on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon (Isaiah 55:6-7). Look to the Lord in His strength; seek to serve Him constantly (Ps 105:4). 

The one who searches hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because it intercedes for the holy ones according to God’s will (Rom 8:27).  Glory in His holy name; rejoice, O hearts that seek the Lord! (Ps 105:3). 

I sought the Lord, and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears (Ps 34:5). I sought Him whom my heart loves (Song 3:1). 

O God, you are my God whom I seek; for you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts like the earth, parched, lifeless and without water (Ps 63:2). I am yours; save me, for I have sought your precepts (Ps 119:94).With all my heart I seek you; let me not stray from your commands (Ps 119:10).

Do the Will of God

"Whoever does the will of my heavenly Father 

is my brother, and sister, and mother.” 

(Matthew 12:50)

Do means to perform (an act, duty, role, etc.), to execute (a piece or amount of work), to act or conduct oneself; be in action; behave, to proceed. First recorded before 900; Middle English, Old English dōn; cognate with Dutch doen, German tun; akin to Latin -dere “to put,” facere “to make, do,” Greek tithénai “to set, put,” Sanskrit dadhāti “(he) puts”. (Dictionary.com)

The will of God or divine will is a concept found in the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the Quran, according to which God's will is the first cause of everything that exists. According to Thomas Aquinas, God is the "Highest Good".The Summa Theologiae affirms that "God alone is good essentially". Because in Jesus Christ God there are two natures, the human and the divine one, Aquinas states that in Him there are two distinct wills: the human will and the divine will. (Wikipedia)

This is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality (1Th 4:3). Live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human lusts, but for the will of God (1Pe 4:2). For such is the will of God, that by doing right you silence the ignorance of foolish people (1Pe 2:15). Not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart (Eph 6:6).

For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as people, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God (1Pe 4:6). Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God are to entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right (1Pe 4:19).

He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God (Rom 8:27). And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect (Rom 12:2).

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus (1Th 5:18). For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised (Heb 10:36).

“Fear not! Stand your ground, 

and you will see the victory the Lord 

will win for you today." 

(Exodus 14:13)

"There is something greater here.” (Mt 12:41-42) Your right hand, O Lord, magnificent in power, Your right hand, O Lord, has shattered the enemy (Ex 15:6). 

“Fear not! Stand your ground, and you will see the victory the Lord will win for you today. The Lord Himself will fight for you; you have only to keep still.”   (Ex 14:13) 

In times of great fright, you cry out to the Lord and even complain, "Why did you do this to us? Leave us alone. Far better for us to be the slaves than to die.” (Ex 14:10-12)

The Lord said, “Why are you crying out to me? Go forward that you may pass through it on dry land. I will make them so obstinate that they will go in after you. Then I will receive glory through them and they shall know that I am the Lord. (Ex 14:15-18)

The Lord is a warrior, Lord is His name! Pharaoh’s chariots and army He hurled into the sea; the elite of his officers were submerged in the Red Sea. The flood waters covered them, they sank into the depths like a stone. (Ex 15:3-5)

I will sing to the Lord, for He is gloriously triumphant; horse and chariot he has cast into the sea. My strength and my courage is the Lord, and He has been my savior. He is my God, I praise Him; the God of my father, I extol Him. (Ex 15:1-2)

A bruised reed He will not break, 

a smoldering wick He will not quench, 

until He brings justice to victory. 

And in His name the Gentiles will hope. 

(Matthew 12:20-21)

With what shall you come before the Lord, and bow before God most high? Shall you come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with myriad streams of oil? Shall you give your first-born for your crime, the fruit of your body for the sin of your soul? - Micah 6:6-7

The Lord said, “Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you, for your burnt offerings are before me always. I take from your house no bullock, no goats out of your fold (Ps 50:8-9). Why do you recite my statutes, and profess my covenant with your mouth, though you hate discipline and cast my words behind you? (Ps 50:16-17). When you do these things, shall I be deaf to it? Or do you think that I am like yourself? I will correct you by drawing them up before your eyes (Ps 50:21). 

Today, you have been told what is good, and what the Lord requires of you: Only to do right and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God (Mi 6:8). He that offers praise as a sacrifice glorifies Me; and to him that goes the right way I will show the salvation of God (Ps. 50:23).

Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up a righteous shoot to David; as king He shall reign and govern wisely, He shall do what is just and right in the land (Jer. 23:5).

I myself will gather the remnant of my flock from all the lands to which I have driven them and bring them back to their meadow; there they shall increase and multiply (Jer. 23:3). In His days Judah shall be saved, Israel shall dwell in security. This is the name they give Him: “The Lord our justice.” (Jer. 23:6)

Moses, hearing the voice of the Lord 

from the burning bush, said to him, 

“When I go to the children of Israel and say to them, 

‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ 

if they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ 

what am I to tell them?” 

(Exodus 3:13)

Today, God has taken upon Himself to address your plight and lead you up out of your misery. He wants to set you free and transform the land your are living into a land that is flowing with milk and honey. Be the light of the Lord so that others will see His good works. 

God has set you free from darkness and you can now see clearly to walk the way in accordance with the light of God's truth. Moreover, He constantly saves you from every pitfall of darkness that may come your way. 

Self-righteousness, arrogance, and pride have brought you to your numerous downfalls in the past. You have attributed your past successes only to yourself and not to the Lord who in truth, have made it all possible for you to achieve these things. 

In God's love, mercy, and grace, you no longer live for yourself but for the one who died for you in the cross, your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In Him, your joy was made complete. No longer a temporary joy but a permanent joy of living in peace and abundance each day. 

The Lord continues to make you experience His wondrous deeds. He made you profit most on each of the binding covenants and contracts that He brings to you each day. Your business continues to grow and increase that will make you strong and stable.

Give thanks to the Lord and invoke His holy Name.

"People do not put new wine into old wineskins. 

Otherwise the skins burst, the wine spills out, 

and the skins are ruined. 

Rather, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, 

and both are preserved.” 

(Mattthew 9:17)

Christ dwells with you and glory shall forever dwell in your land. Put on the new and take courage in the Lord.

Today, God's hand makes you accomplish all the works and undertakings that He sets before you. You shall be free of your work responsibilities to journey in the land that He has given you. 

The Lord shall continue with its building and development and further expand to other lands with gardens and fruit bearing trees. He shall firmly plant you upon your own ground; never again shall you be plucked from the land God has given you. 

God's grace is sufficient for you. Therefore, be content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and constraints, for the sake of Christ; for when you are weak, then you are strong. Power is made perfect in weakness. Do not become too elated or sated with contempt of the proud nor rebel against the Lord.

Even Jesus experienced these in His own native place. He was perceived based on His personal background and not by the good deeds and miracles that have changed the lives of so many people. He was amazed at their lack of faith.

As for you, take courage for your faith has saved you. Fear only makes things worse. Instead of having faith, it will make you dwell on the negative such as worries, anxieties, and stress. It can even trigger panic and nervousness.

“Peace be with you.

Have you come to believe because you have seen Me? 

Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” 

JOHN 20 : 26,29

There is always something about God that remains a mystery. In science, we say, “To see is to believe.” In faith, the reverse is true: “To believe is to see.” Faith is to believe in things not seen, heard, touched, or felt. 

Today is a day set by the Lord for you to believe and be at peace with full hope and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ who is always near you. He is your peace who shall bring to fulfillment all that was promised to you, most especially your own dwelling place. Let the peace of God reign in your heart and mind through Christ.

We are all doubters in varying degrees. We are skeptic of the things we do not see, hear, touch, or smell. We always operate through our senses. 

Of course, we need signs to believe; we do not believe out of nothing. God gives us the grace to believe. Our senses still have their uses. They provide us with reasons to make that leap of faith. Doubt will not be a major problem if the person is open to the truth. Truth has the  power to eventually bring a person round to it.

“My Lord and my God!” is a profession of faith. We are encouraged to exclaim it like Thomas when the priest presents the consecrated Host before we receive it. In essence, we are saying, “I believe You are present here and now, Lord. Help my unbelief for me to see Your glory.”

Seek to strengthen your faith through prayer and meditation on the Word of God.

The Lord, the God of heaven, 

took you, and who confirmed by oath 

the promise He then made to you, 

‘I will give this land to your descendants’ 

(Genesis 24:7)

This is the prophecy that the Lord sets upon you today (Amos 7:15). The Lord alone is your saving help, and in His favor, you shall see the prosperity you seek and rejoice in the glory of your inheritance (Ps 106:4-5). 

Although you are a resident alien in this place, you shall acquire lots of holdings and properties. Your business transactions in this place shall deal with real estate, building and development. 

This will be the permanent dwelling place of your wife, entire family, and descendants (Gen 23:4, 19).  Here, you shall spend your ripe old age, and the Lord shall blessed you in every way (Gen 24:1). Besides your family, several servants will live with you. The senior servant shall be in charge of your possessions who will ensure that all your wishes for your descendants shall be followed by the book and for all time (Gen 24:2-4). It is in this place that your generation shall flourish.

Blessed are they who observe what is right, who do always what is just (Ps 106:3). Consider this, never forget the Lord, lest I rend you and there be no one to rescue you (Ps 50:22). 

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good all the time and His mercy endures forever (Ps 106:1-2). Always remember that, "He that offers praise as a sacrifice glorifies the Lord; and to him that goes the right way the Lord will show the salvation of God" (Ps 50:23).

“Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, 

suffering dreadfully.” 

He said to him, 

“I will come and cure him.” 

(Matthew 8:6-7)

We all need healing, we all need the Lord. We believe He can make us whole again.

Today, the Lord opens your heart to be mindful of the paralysis in life. It takes on different forms: physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual, or moral. It assumes many names: infirmity, malady, woundedness, brokenness, or sinfulness. It bogs you down. It depletes your energy. It makes you feel empty. It burdens your minds. It depresses your spirit.

God has fully restored the fullness of your health and well-being. You have been healed not just physically but moreover spiritually. You got two gifts for the price of one. And the price? Faith. Jesus willed that you receive total healing for the price of one: your deep faith in Him who heals and bids you to rise again. You have been cured because of your faith. 

Give everything to God and be devoted to Him. Do not withhold anything from Him. It is not about you but it is always about the Lord for whatever He wills, He does. Only the Lord can remove all these forms of paralysis and make you whole again.

Remember your flock which you built up of old,

PSALM 74 : 2

Love for God and family brings so much joy, peace, abundance and prosperity. With them, you shall prosper in every way all the days of your life.

Today, the Lord raised you up from your fall making you see the truth that the Lord Your God is the one true source of all that is in you. He alone can make or break anything that He has created. Take care not be deceived by your own intellect. Always humble yourself before the Lord.

The world would be a richer and loving place if you can avoid jealousy and sin. Put your faith in God and see great miracles unfold before your very lives.

Settle the children of God in one place that can house all their educational needs. God made you come face to face with the plight of His little children. There is a need for them to have the right and proper education without having to go through a lot of burdens.

Ask for help when you need it and be ready to help when asked. You cannot survive as a lone ranger. You need to be mentored from time to time.

Live to worship and give praise to God all your days.
