Adoring God In John 1 (Aug 19)

Word With Us & Reveals Father

John, the supplemental gospel
provides a fourth dimension of
Jesus’ life and ministry. Fully 92%
of John’s material is not found
in any other gospel account.
John writes to convince readers
who Jesus is (the Son of God) and
how new life can be found in Him.
Jesus begins in eternity past,
showing how the Word who was
one with God became flesh to take
His message of life to all mankind.

Lord Jesus, You Reveal the Father:
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God… And the
light shines in the darkness and
the darkness did not comprehend it.
Yet to all who did receive Him,
to those who believed in His name,
He gave the right to become
children of God (John 1:1, 5, 12).
The Word became flesh and dwelt
among us, and we beheld His glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of
the Father, full of grace and truth…
And of His fullness we have received
and grace for grace (v14-16).
No one has ever seen God. But
his only Son, who is Himself God
is near to the Father’s heart;
He has told us about Him (v18).

Lord Jesus, I do believe in You
and I have already accepted
You as my Saviour and Master.
Thank You for revealing Yourself
to me and thank You for saving me.
Because of Your saving grace,
I am not just a forgiven sinner
but also a child of the living God.
Help me live out my true identity
in Your mighty name I pray, Amen.

Lord, You became flesh, lived among
us & giving us fullness of salvation.
Open my eyes and heart to behold
and experience Your immense love.
Make me complete with the fullness
of life & power that comes from You.
Fill me with Yourself and Your truth
so that I will have the wisdom I need.
Be the Word in me so that You don’t
just speak to me but thru me. Amen.

Father God, praise You for revealing
Yourself through Your Son Jesus.
Thank You for Your Word, which
reveals Your love & purpose for me.
Thank You for Jesus, who has
made it possible for me to have
a clearer vision to see You Father.
Help me see You more accurately
and love You more each day.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Reflection on the Prophetic Genre

Adoring God thru Thanks & Praise

The path to intentional discipleship
is to grow towards spiritual maturity
by nurturing key disciple attitudes.
So for past 2-3 years, we had been
Seeking God thru biblical prayers;
and Trusting God thru His Promises.
And for the past eight months; we’ve
been Adoring God through Thanking
Him for what He has done for us
and Praising Him for who He is.

From the earliest days of the church,
the singing of hymns and spiritual
songs has been an integral part
of Christian worship. It is a means
for believers to express praise to
their Creator and Saviour. And it’s
also a way for us to communicate
with God using more than words.
For it enables us to pour out the
grateful feelings of the heart and
to express commitment to God.

We are meditating through the Bible,
which is organised by genres:
Laws, History, Poetry and Prophets…
And the key purpose of the prophets was to convey messages from
God to His people; often included warnings, guidance and calls to repentance; as well as delivering divine revelation urging them to stay faithful to God’s commandments and offering hope for the future.

Having completed Old Testament,
we will continue to NT gospels.
But here’s the key thots over the last
10 weeks from 17 books of Prophets;
which encourage us return to God:
Jul 15: Lord Provides Needs (Isa 9)
J22:God Makes Way thru Trial(Isa43
J29: God Blesses & Heals (Jer 17)
Aug5:God Moves in the Spirit(Ez 36)
Aug 11:God Reveals Secret (Dan 2)
A18:God Shows Unfailing Love(Mic7)
