God Keeps You From Stumbling

Alarmed by the presence of
false teaching, Jude exhorts
believers to stand firm for the truth.
He ends his short epistle with
a series of urgent commands:
Remember Christ’s words,
remain in God’s love and seek
to remove erring brothers from
the fiery danger of their ways.

Abba, U are Able & Will Keep Us:
All glory to God, who Is Able
to Keep You from stumbling,
and who will bring you into His
glorious presence innocent of sin
and with great joy. All glory to Him,
who alone is God our Saviour,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Yes, glory, majesty, power
and authority belong to Him,
in the beginning, now, and
forevermore (Jude 24-25). Amen.

God Listens When You Pray

Apostle John desires his spiritual
children enjoy close fellowship
with God & writes telling them how:
God is Light and therefore to
engage in fellowship with Him
means walking in the light of
His commandments. God is Love,
and thus His children must walk
in love. God is Life, and those
who desire fellowship with Him
must possess the spiritual life,
which begins with spiritual birth.

Lord, we will Ask Along Your Will:
This is the confidence we have
in approaching God; that if we
ask anything according to His will,
He hears us. And if we know that
He hears us – whatever we ask
– we know that we have what
we asked of Him (1Jn 5:14-15).

Final Victory & All Things New
(Prayer Walk thro Rev 17-22)

Following the catastrophic
judgments of the seven vials,
John sees the doom of Babylon.
And a great multitude sings but
praises to God in anticipation of
the marriage supper of the Lamb.
A white horse emerges, mounted
by the King of Kings who destroys
the beast and the false prophet..
setting the stage for the coming
of a new heaven and new earth.
Once again God and his people
live in intimate fellowship. Amen.

Lord, the revelation on end times
is both a warning to Christians
who have grown apathetic and
an encouragement to those who
are faithfully enduring struggles.
It reassures us that good will
triumph over evil, gives us hope
as we face difficulties & guides us
when we’re wavering in our faith.
Lord, we praise You for being in
control & rejoice that You Reign,
that You Triumph Over Evil, and
that U make All Things New. Amen

God Is Kind & Patient to All

Defection within the community
of believers can be devastating.
To counteract the effects of this
“poison”, Peter reminds his readers
of the timeless truths of the faith
and exhorts them to continue
growing toward Christian maturity.

Lord, You are Long-Suffering:
The Lord is not slack concerning
His promise… but is longsuffering
toward us, not willing that any
should perish but that all should
come to repentance (2 Pet 3:9).
But the day of the Lord will
come as unexpectedly as a thief.
Then the heavens will pass away…
& the earth and everything on it…
But we are looking forward to the
new heavens and new earth he
has promised, a world filled with
God’s righteousness (v10-13) Amen

God’s Eyes On Those Doing Right

Peter writes to scattered Jewish
Christians who are undergoing
intense persecution for their faith.
God has begotten us again unto a
living hope. So don’t be surprised
when suffering comes your way;
prepare & respond to it correctly.
Be sure you are doing what is right.
Imitate Christ in your submissive
spirit toward one another,
and God will richly reward you
when the trials of life are over.

Lord, You Will Hear our prayers:
Finally… Be Like-minded, be
sympathetic, love one another,
be compassionate and humble.
Do not repay evil with evil or
insult with insult. On the contrary,
repay evil with blessing, because
to this you were called so that you
may inherit a blessing (1Pet3:8-9)
For the eyes of the Lord Watch
over those who do right and His
ears are attentive to their prayers,
but the face of the Lord is against
those who do evil (v12). Amen.
