Transformation

February 6, 2017

Being willing to let the Lord change us is an important part of our growth. In Romans 12:1-2, God tells us three things on how we can partner with Him for internal and external change. 1) Present your life, your work and your ministry to Him, 2) Don’t follow the pattern of the world, as you might miss out on the radical changes He wants for you and 3) Renew your mind. This can be done by staying in the Scriptures and praying.

Romans 12:1-2 (KJV) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.

Sing Unto the Lord

February 5, 2017

Psalms 27:6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

Isaiah 12:5 Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this [is] known in all the earth.

Psalms 104:33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.  

 Judges 5:3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.

Psalms 96:1 O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

Renewed Strength

February 4, 2017

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.   Isaiah 40:31  (KJV)

Servanthood

February 3, 2017

Yesterday at the ministry, the SOS Events Senior Servant ladies once again met to stuff, label and seal the newsletters. Praise the Lord for their faithfulness, cheerful heart and gracious spirit.

Numbers 6:24-26 (KJV)

The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

Praise of Salvation

February 2, 2017

Wednesday, at the local farmer’s flea market, some of the SOS workers shared the plan of salvation using the Three Things God Cannot Do…. 1) God Cannot Lie   2) God Cannot Change and  3) God Cannot Let Anyone Into Heaven Unless They Are Born Again.  Praise the Lord for the 6 people who trusted in Jesus as their Savior.

I Thessalonians 5:9 (KJV) For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.

Why Worry?

February 1, 2017

To worry means to have an excessive concern over something. It is a sin because it displaces God in your life. It also distracts you from what really matters. Worry dominates your time from where it needs to be.

Here is a simple test to know if you are worrying about something…  1) Is it the first thing on your mind when you wake up and the last thing on your mind when your go to bed?      2) In your spare time, your time to relax, do you start thinking about it?

Take your cares, burdens, anxieties to God. He said for us to cast them on Him…. ALL of them! So why worry? Give it to God. He truly cares.

I Peter 5:7 (KJV)   Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.

Wisdom

January 31, 2017

Keeping in mind that all Scripture is given by the inspiration of God, the Book of Proverbs is designed to make us contemplate the fear of God and living by His wisdom. The word “proverb” means “to be like”. Proverbs is a book of comparisons between common, concrete images and life’s most profound truths. Proverbs are simple, moral statements or illustrations that highlight and teach fundamental realities about life. Take time to read the book of Proverbs in the Bible to gain wisdom in your relationship to God, yourself and to others.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV) Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not onto thine own understanding; In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

Plans

January 30, 2017

Planning is something most people do to make sure they stay on task. God has plans for each of us too. In the Scriptures, Jeremiah speaks of thoughts the Lord has for us, plans of peace and prosperity. But did you realize that Satan has plans for you as well? Satan is after your name and reputation. When you wake up every morning, he has already plotted how to come against you that day. You have a choice. Whose plan are you going to follow? Call on the Lord for help and guidance in every day.

Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV)      Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Eternal Security

January 29, 2017

What a wonderful Savior Jesus is. He warns us against things that Satan will use to harm us or cause us to question God. Satan wants to steal our purpose, vision, joy, and family through doubt and discouragement. One thing Satan cannot steal from a Christian is salvation. When you trust Christ as your Savior, believe He died on the cross for your sins and repent, you are accepting the gift of Salvation which is your eternal security.

Romans 8:38-39 (KJV)     For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Six More Souls

January 26, 2017

Praise the Lord for six souls saved at the Plant City Flea Market on Wednesday. Once again God blessed the faithful workers from SOS Events ministry for their dedicated work. Jesus came into the world to save sinners and He is pleased and brings the lost to the booth to hear the gospel.

1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
