It is customary for people to exchange gifts during Christmas and in the same spirit, I will like to share few scriptures that helped me this year, please feel free to share yours too in the comment space, so we can all be blessed and who knows some of us will adopt same scriptures for next year.
Matthew 6:33 KJV
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
This made me to more than anything else put God first in my day to day activities, it kept me in check. Many times I went out of focus it brought me back to the plan.
Ephesians 4:13 KJV
“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:”
This scripture gave me a wholistic view of what God's plan for the church is, bringing us to the perfect stature of Christ as also echoed in 1 Thessalonians 5:23.
1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV
“But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.”
Romans 8:11 KJV
“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.”
2 Peter 1:4 KJV
“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
These 3 scriptures where the medicine I took this year, each time I felt uneasy or had symptoms in my body or mind, I take them, declare them and live them. And 10 out of 10 times I was whole.
1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
In pursuit of purpose, this drives us, it drove me all year long.
Proverbs 19:14 KJV
“House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord.”
Another translation says “a sensible wife” is from the Lord. This scripture and what God said to me concerning my wife, kept my head above water and I never have to worry about a spouse forever. Case closed!!!
Romans 8:28 MSG
“That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.”
I was rest assured that the good and bad details of life were for my good because God is involved,I have peace.
1 Corinthians 13:13 CEVDC
“For now there are faith, hope, and love. But of these three, the greatest is love.”
Love became my theme song for the year. How I love love. I am in love with love.
Now, please share one or two scriptures that carried you through 2018 and bless other readers.
GO ACHIEVE

ReplyDelete-If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God who giveth it liberally to all men and upbraideth not and it shall be given him..(KJV)
-If you don't know what you are doing, pray to the father He loves to help. You'll get his help and won't be condescended to when you ask for it.
A second one is:
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (KJV) Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
He's God of all comfort!
Thank you soooo much
