In Luke 22:42, we find these words. We also find, throughout the Scriptures, that Jesus says, He could do nothing without the Father. Neither can a Child of God do anything without our Lord waking us up in the morning and watching over us through the day. Many times we take for granted the blessings God provides for us. Jesus paid the price on the Cross for each of us, but He clearly tells us that He came not to do His will, but the will of His Father, which is God. In John 6:38, “For I came down from Heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me.” Jesus tells us, all through the Bible, that he could do nothing without the Father and we really need to take notice of this. In John 5:19 Christ says, “The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.” In John 5:30 He says, I can of mine own self do nothing:” John 7:16 says, “My doctrine is not mine, but His that sent me.” John 8:28 says, “I do nothing of myself: but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.” John 8:42, “For I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but He sent me.” John 8:50, “And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.” John 12:49, “For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, He gave me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.” John 14:10, “The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the works.” I believe the Churches have left God out of the picture for so long, that many have forgotten. It was He that so loved the world, that He sent His only begotten Son. John 3:16. †
Looking Ahead
Let’s focus on having the greatest year ever. We can do this by making sure we begin our days by praying and asking God for guidance. Remember, God listens for us to ask for help. He’s our Heavenly Father and He desires to help each of us. If you will begin your day, by asking for guidance and direction, you’re already ahead of those that try to make it on their own. You must fight the devil everyday as he tries to cause you to fail. You’ve asked God for help, make sure you listen, when He warns you of a snare. You must overcome day by day. Defeat the enemy one day at a time. Read Luke 10:19. Study it and live by it. How can you fail, when you have God directing your footsteps? This can be the greatest year of your life, if you allow God to help you. †
Jesus Is The Answer
Millions say they’re Christians, but very few know the true meaning of the word. All of us have problems in our lifetime. Some, will have financial burdens, others will have health problems and some will have marital or family problems. When we are honest with ourselves, we examine our lifestyles, we find that we have been disobedient and that’s why we have problems. God cannot and will not bless disobedience. Your flesh will deceive you and if you’re not careful, you will listen to a lie, when your flesh tries to tell you that you’re doing alright. When you listen to Your Spirit, you’ll know that something is wrong. When you have financial burdens, it’s usually because you’ve failed to pay all of your Tithes or maybe you paid them in the wrong place. God may have wanted you to give alms by helping someone, by giving them a piece of money, but your flesh said, “No.” Once again, God wants to get your attention. How better to do so, than to touch your finances? You may have marital problems and you just can’t understand why. Pray and listen with your heart and not your physical ear. Usually, you’ll find that you have placed your spouse or family before God. This is a no, no. God has to come before everything. Anytime you allow your family or marriage to come between you and God, you will have problems. When your spouse or family hinders you from going to worship or serving God the way He leads you to, they become Idols and God commands us not to have any other gods before Him. He demands us to worship Him only. One may say, “I would never put my family before God.” When ball practice or a school meeting is scheduled on the same night as prayer meeting or any other church service and you choose to go to the school event, guess what? The devil has many ways to lay traps for us and this has nothing to do with your salvation, but it has everything to do with your blessings. Jesus tells us to study His Word. Jesus is our answer in every situation that arises. When sickness comes to your body or household, if we look closely, we’ll see where we have failed God by being disobedient to His Word. When we fail Him, He being the loving God, wants to get our attention and correct us, so we can be blessed. So many go through life not knowing that they could have had God’s blessings upon their life. Always remember, God is in control and He knows how to get our attention. When we allow Jesus to become Lord of our life, He guides and leads us in the paths of righteousness. He will not allow the enemy to come against a Child of God that has turned their life over to Him. Most will eagerly allow Jesus to become their Saviour, but very few allow Him to become Lord of their life. The simple reason is, He will not allow you to follow your fleshly desires without first warning you and you’ll know you’re being disobedient. We must allow Jesus to be Lord of our life and remember, “Jesus is the Answer.” †
