16th Nisan Monday 29th March In order to recognise the late falling of passover this year, and the day of First Fruits that Jesus fulfilled in His glorious resurrection, an extra day's celebration in this year's commitment. All glory to God, all praises to His name, the Name Above All Names, Jesus, Yeshua, amen! Beautiful Beyond Description I Can Only Imagine Micah 6 v9:16 O Lord! How we rightly face the Slough of Despond and the City of Destruction without You! Without our Risen Saviour, without our Risen King we are but dust and ashes in Your righteous fury against a rebellious, wicked, deceitful and murderous generation. Lord we look to You and give thanks and praise, we worship You for who You are and what You have done, we repent of our sin and wickedness in recognition and acknowledgement of Your divine authority; You are the Great Shepherd and we are Your sheep. Lord, may these days and times of celebration persist in our lives and years. The worship, praise, adoration and thanksgiving to You and for You is not the thing of a particular festival or day of the week, it should be and is a continuous outpouring of love and thanksgiving, the celebration of lives, including our lives, redeemed by a Redeemer, of hearts, hopes and dreams given meaning and value by a Creator whose desire towards us is of benevolence, tenderness, patience, faithfulness and love. Bless You, in Your Sanctuary, bless You in Your works and love, bless You in each of our hearts uplifted to You, for Your glory forever, amen. I Love Your Presence This Is How We Overcome 15th Nisan Sunday 28th March Resurrection Sunday. Glory to God! May you be blessed! Rejoice As David Did 1 Corinthians 6 v11:20 The Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. The Risen Saviour, overcoming sin and the grave. We celebrate Your victory every day, Lord Jesus, as we celebrate the day of Your birth every day. You are worthy of all praise. Help us, as the passage says, celebrate with our bodies, offering them as a sacrifice to You, Lord, in our thoughts, words, actions and deeds. We were bought with a price, even though it was given as a gift. Lord, we look to You and celebrate You, give thanks to You and sing Your praises. Awesome God! Mighty Saviour! Victor over the Devil and his wicked schemes! Amen and glory! Hallelujah! Amen and praises to Your name! Amen to the Giver of Life! Amen forever! Amen! Yes And Amen ?Fire / As David 14th Nisan Saturday 27th March Passover ?Continuing the joyful approach to the global day of celebration for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Unusually, about once every nine years (though the last one was 2005, next 2025), the Passover falls on the Saturday night. God's timing is faultless and always with reason, so let us look to open and celebrate as we also look for the Lord to lead and guide in His ways and days, for His glory. See His Love ?Forever Leviticus 6 v1:8 v36 What words can we utter, High King of Heaven? What platitudes can proceed from our mouths? Your Son, Your self personified, broken and burned on that Cross. Not by physical fire, but by the cup of Your righteous wrath, poured out on the innocent lamb, instead of the detestable creatures who deserve its every drop. Creatures such as me, Lord. The Bible tells us that all fall short of the mark, that not one person can reckon themselves as perfect before You. Yet You knew this from the beginning, and You still decided to give of Yourself that which You would not ask of Your people. Heavenly Father, our words cannot atone for Your sacrifice. "Thank You' is not sufficient. It is our whole life that we can choose to lead as an expression of that thankfulness. Not to please or to gain favour, not to expect merit for good works, but as a living sacrifice out of gratitude for who Your are and what You have done in our lives. Mighty God, Adonai, we worship You and give thanks to You this day, and forever, in the wonderful name of Your Son, Jesus, Yeshua, the Christ, amen. As For Me And My House I Will Praise You In This Storm 13th Nisan Friday 26 March A celebratory approach to the Resurrection Day, with a double portion of worship. Praise the Lord! What A Friend We Have In Jesus Count Your Blessings Colossians 1 v5:14 You have done it, Lord. You have made a Way. You have sent Your Son, You have overcome sin and the grave. We are saved by grace alone through faith alone, You did this that no man may boast. Help us to humble ourselves today, Lord. Help us to be more like You. To speak of the things of the Kingdom. To reach and teach the lost, the lonely, the broken, the afraid. To heal the sick, to cleanse the lepers, to raise the dead, to cast out demons, according to Your word. Above all, help us to do all things out of love, for Your glory. You are the Author of Salvation, we must forgive and love others as You have forgiven and loved us. We pray all of this in the name of Jesus, Yeshua, the Messiah, for the Father's glory and the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth. Amen. Days Of Elijah Wonderful Grace Of Jesus 12th Nisan Thursday 25th March Approach to the Resurrection A double portion of celebration in the week leading up to Easter. My God Is Awesome Hosanna Haggai 2 v19:23 The beauty of Your majesty, Lord. The splendor of Your creation. The wonder of Your gift in Christ Jesus, Yeshua, Isa, that You would send Your only Son, that all who should receive Him could be set free. You have formed us from the dust of the earth, Lord, and to dust we will return, save for the breath of life that You have given us, as people, distinct from all the other creatures and forms of the world and beyond. Help us choose today to honour that breath. Help us choose not to do the things that would cause it to be snatched from our mouths and lungs. You are the life within us and You died that Your Spirit could be poured out an all the peoples and nations of the earth, that we would know and could grow into a likeness of You, Your Son, in this life and then forever in the next. We may be challenged, each day, to sing Your praises, yet, in truth, in that glorious day of Your return, we will and hope to step forward to a place where we will praise You forever. It is our choice, freely given. Thank You, Father in Heaven, amen. Like Oil Consuming Fire 11th Nisan Wednesday 24th March Each day a double portion of praise as we approach the joy of Resurrection Sunday. May you be blessed! So Will I Glory To God Forever 1 Thessalonians 5 v9:22 Glory to You, Most High King! Glory and honour, praise and majesty, to You, Maker of the heavens and the Earth! Who are we, that You are mindful of us? That You would leave the sanctity and purity of heaven, to come down and live as one condemned, overcoming sin and the grave with Your life of perfect humility. That You did this, not out of glorifying Yourself, but out of a love for the tender things that You had created, out of love for each one of us, that every child that You conceived in creation would have the opportunity to receive salvation. Worthy is the lamb that was slain! Worthy is the One who conquered the grave! Thank You, Jesus of Nazareth, thank You, the Rock of my Salvation! Help us live this day as You would have us live, as these words of scripture encourage and exhort us to do. For Your glory alone, in Jesus's name, amen. Every Praise Overwhelmed 10th Nisan Tuesday 23rd March Continuing the joyful approach to the global day of celebration for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. ?O Praise The Name Here For You Ezekiel 17 v15:24 O Lord, how we are like that King in our earlier days, fixed in our rebellion, confident in our strength and support, proud to transgress and belittle Your covenant. How we are like those who crowded around You, Your Son, in Jerusalem, seething with hatred, itching with anger and ire. Blinded by their ignorance, deceived by the one who would see You tortured and killed. O! How You extend Your mercy and grace towards us, God of Heaven, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth! How great is Your love that You can overcome Your righteous anger towards us and instead, clothed in humility, extend salvation towards us? Open our eyes to our transgressions, old and new, today, Lord, that we can plunge the depths of our own infirmity, that we can be stripped of all pride and vanity, that we can come to You, humbled yet confident, that You have extended Your hand in great love, in Jesus's name. Plant us again, O Mighty God of Israel, for Your glory, amen. We Wait For You Reckless Love 9th Nisan Monday 22nd March A celebratory approach to the Resurrection Day of Easter, with a double portion of worship. Praise the Lord! Thy Will Be Done ? Surrender 1 Timothy 6 v9:16 In surrender Lord to You, as You surrendered Yourself to the Cross. Complete, total, unabridged. Strip me clean and bare this day, Lord. Carve out our hearts if need be, so desperately do we seek You, for Your glory and Your name's sake. In this age of tribulation and trial, Your blood is a poured out blessing of unmerited favour; of matchless beauty. Thank You for all that you have done, are doing and will do. Amen, ? Revive Us Days Of Elijah 8th Nisan Sunday 21st March Approach to the Resurrection A double portion of celebration in the week leading up to Easter. What A Friend We Have In Jesus Into To The Garden Philippians 2 v1:5 What a challenge, Lord. To, "Let your bearing toward one another arise out of your life in Christ Jesus." Oh, how we will need Your help in this Lord. You encourage us to love each other, even to the loving of our enemies and, what we have faith in, is You will see the work that You started complete. May we rest in Your promises, that You will neither leave us nor forsake us, that You will be with us until the end of the age. You gave Your life that we might live, You rose again so that we could. As we approach the global celebration of that glorious day, let us pause and reflect on our life in You, and how best to live it for the glory of You. In Jesus's name we pray, Amen. Yes And Amen How Great Is Our God
