GOD TAKES PLEASURE IN MEETING OUR NEEDS


Matthew 7:11, "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"


MATTHEW 7: 9-11
What kind of parent would ever deny their children, the necessities of life? If you have children would you fail to feed them? Or provide for them? Or if they ask you for food would you give them poison instead? Of, course not. This is the point Jesus is making.

God is love (1 Jn. 4:8)! And His love for us is infinitely greater than any loving relationship here on earth. We can apply this truth about God's love for us to any command or example we find in God's Word where His standards for relationship are revealed. Be assured that He will much more than meet those standards Himself.


This gives us confidence that, in the same way we respond in love to our children and to those who are in need, our God, who is love, will also respond to us. God is a faithful God, and He will always give us the things that we need.
Today, let the Lord be magnified in your life as Psalm 35:27 says, "Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant." It pleases God to minister to you. Let God have pleasure today by meeting your needs. You have not, because you ask not (James 4:2). God wants you to ask so that you can receive (John 16:24). Believe God. He gets pleasure when you ask Him. Find out a loving God what Bible teaches, rather than some pagan ideas that torments your mind.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? BE PREPARED FOR A MIRACLE !


Luke 1:18, "And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years."




Zacharias and Elisabeth were righteous people (v. 6) who prayed for a child for many years. They felt the same disappointments and frustrations that any of us would feel and yet they kept believing God. The Lord finally answered their prayers and sent His angel to announce the good news.


What was Zacharias' reaction? He couldn't believe it! The very thing that he had been praying for was granted and he doubted that it was true. In Zacharias' case he received his miracle anyway. Perhaps his wife's faith pulled him through.


Likewise, you may be praying for the right things. May be something made you ashamed before others. You may even be sincere and earnest, but would you be surprised if those prayers were suddenly answered today? or you see a progress to getting what you have prayed? Have you made preparations for your prayers to be answered?


Before the children of Israel were actually delivered from Egypt, they ate the passover meal by faith. Their bags were packed and ready to go. We need to anticipate our prayers being answered.


Right now, imagine how you would feel or what you would do if the answer to your prayers was manifested this very minute. Then, as much as possible began to think and act that way. You'll find out that your whole attitude will change as you focus on your answer instead of the problem.

Ancient seed "methuselah"

"Methuselah" Tree Grew From 2,000-Year-Old Seed
Anne Minard
for National Geographic News
June 12, 2008


The oldest-sprouted seed in the world is a 2,000-year-old plant from Jerusalem, a new study confirms.
"Methuselah," a 4-foot-tall (1.2-meter-tall) ancestor of the modern date palm, is being grown at a protected laboratory in the Israeli capital.


In 2005 the young plant was coaxed out of a seed recovered in 1963 from Masada, a fortress in present-day Israel where Jewish zealots killed themselves to avoid capture by the Romans in A.D. 70.

Because a witness to the long-ago siege recorded the Jews' plight and eventual mass suicide, locations of their food stores—which the Jews left behind to show they didn't starve to death—were well documented.
So the exact age of the seed isn't a big surprise, said project leader Sarah Sallon of the Hadassah Medical Organization in Jerusalem, but: "I was surprised that we were able to grow it."
Methuselah beats out the previous oldest-seed record holder, a lotus tree grown from a 1,300-year-old seed in 1995 by Jane Shen-Miller, a botanist at the University of California, Los Angeles, and colleagues.
(Related: "Oldest Living Tree Found in Sweden" [April 14, 2008].)
The Israeli seedling may advance medicines and reveal genetic relationships between ancient and modern date palms, experts say.
Witness to History

The fortress Masada was originally built in high ground above the Dead Sea as King Herod's pleasure palace, but legend has it that Jews occupied the fort for seven months while they were under siege by the Romans.
(Related: "King Herod's Tomb Unearthed Near Jerusalem, Expert Says" [May 8, 2007].)
Writings recorded at the time indicate that the Jews committed mass suicide rather than be conquered and live under Roman rule. Those same writings told researchers where to look for the long-preserved food stores.
All botanical discoveries from the palace were stored at the Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv for 40 years before Sallon and her team tried to germinate three date palm seeds in 2005.
Only one, Methuselah, yielded a tree.
At the beginning its leaves were plagued with white spots, which the researchers chalked up to insufficient nutrients.
These days it looks like a healthy modern date palm. But unlike its descendants, Methuselah grows better in fresh water than brackish water.
That's because the older version of the tree was usually found near freshwater oases, farther from the Dead Sea, Sallon said.
A study on Methuselah appears tomorrow in the journal Science.
Small Window
Paul Gepts, a biologist at the University of California, Davis, was not involved in the study.
Methuselah "opens a small window into life [in Jerusalem] two thousand years ago," he said.
But he's not sure how valuable a single specimen will be for studies of date palms' genetic diversity.
"How much can we learn from one individual?" he asks. "Normally, palms are cross-pollinated. One would expect them to be very diverse."
Sallon agreed, adding that the plants are "a bit like people. If I wanted to say, What does this one say about a population, it doesn't say much. We're hoping just to germinate more date seeds."
Date Potential
But Methuselah holds potential beyond genetic studies, Sallon said.
Judean date palms once formed thick forests throughout the Jordan River Valley. Today, Israel imports its date palms.

If Methuselah is female—which should be known by 2012, when the plant would be ready to bear fruit—it might support species-restoration efforts.
Sallon also wants to know if the plant may have medicinal properties, as the ancients believed. But any real medicinal value will come from its dates.
No celebrations are planned if and when a first date appears, Sallon said.
"We will celebrate when there is peace," she said. "We will celebrate when all people in this region can plant these trees together, and share any medicinal benefits it brings."

Speak Faith

As we begin a New Year, we want it to be much better than all the years gone by. But it will be better only if we claim God’s promises. What we believe we must then confess with our mouth - but our confession must be based on God’s promises (See Rom.10:8,9).
When God gave Abraham a promise – a promise that looked impossible to be fulfilled (humanly speaking), what did Abraham do? “Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb; yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.” (Rom.4:19-21).
So with faith in what God has promised, let us make the following eight confessions many times during this year. Say it to yourself and to Satan often, from your heart:
1. God the Father loves me as He loved Jesus - So I will always rejoice (John 17:23).

2. God has forgiven me all my sins - So I will never live with guilt (1 Jn.1:9; Heb.8:12).
3. God will fill me with His Holy Spirit - So I will be strong enough for every task (Luke 11:13).
4. God has determined all my boundaries - So I will always be content (Acts 17:26; Heb.13:5).
5. God's commands are ALL for my good - So I want to obey ALL of God’s commands (1 Jn.5:3: Deut.10:13).
6. God controls ALL people and events that affect me - So I will always give thanks (Rom.8:28).
7. Jesus defeated Satan and freed me from his power - So I will never be afraid (Heb.2:14,15; Heb.13:6).
8. God wants to make me a blessing - So I WILL be a blessing to others (Gen.12:2; Gal.3:14)
“Without faith, it is impossible to please God” (Heb.11:6).

Glory of God

We must never stop looking upwards and seeing more of the glory of the Lord. There is much of the glory of Jesus that we still haven’t seen. We must hunger for this, because that’s the image into which the Holy Spirit seeks to transform us. As we see the Lord’s glory, it will humble us because we will see our own need. This is the secret of remaining in humility, till the end of our lives. It is very easy for one whom God has anointed and used mightily to become proud. What is it that can keep us in brokenness and humility till the end of our lives? Only one thing: Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. When we look at Jesus it is impossible to be proud. A man becomes proud when he starts looking at other people, and imagines himself to be better than them, or more anointed than them, or more used than them etc., If however he looked upwards at Jesus, he would fall on his face in the dust in repentance - like the apostle John did on the Isle of Patmos. And if he keeps looking at Jesus, he will keep his face in the dust forever. All of us need to learn to keep our faces in the dust at all times. That’s the place of safety. So if you want God to be happy with you until the end of your days, keep looking upwards.

God has wonderful things in store for us. He has a great job for us to do. We don’t know when we will have to leave this world. But before the Lord comes, we look forward to doing something useful for Him on this earth. Most people in the world look to the future with fear and anxiety. But we look forward in faith.
In Deut.11:21 (KJV), Moses told them that God’s longing for them was “that your days and the days of your sons may be multiplied on the land like the days of heaven upon earth.” This is God’s will for all of us - that our days on earth may be like the days of heaven. God wants us even now to have a foretaste of the joy, peace, love, purity and goodness of heaven in our homes and in our churches. If we had experienced a little bit of that our life and ministry wold not been a heavy burden for us. Not at all. It has been joyful and every day has been exciting, because we have learnt to live by the principles of heaven, and not of earth. It’s easy for you to determine to do this when you start your Christian life. But I hope that you will determine to live by heaven’s principles and not earth’s even during this coming year. Fix your eyes on Jesus Who endured until the end - so that your days can be like days of heaven on earth. That is God’s will for us.

todays Word

35 -36When his disciples thought this had gone on long enough—it was now quite late in the day—they interrupted: "We are a long way out in the country, and it's very late. Pronounce a benediction and send these folks off so they can get some supper."
37Jesus said, "You do it. Fix supper for them."
They replied, "Are you serious? You want us to go spend a fortune on food for their supper?"
38But he was quite serious. "How many loaves of bread do you have? Take an inventory."
That didn't take long. "Five," they said, "plus two fish."
39 -44Jesus got them all to sit down in groups of fifty or a hundred—they looked like a patchwork quilt of wildflowers spread out on the green grass! He took the five loaves and two fish, lifted his face to heaven in prayer, blessed, broke, and gave the bread to the disciples, and the disciples in turn gave it to the people. He did the same with the fish. They all ate their fill. The disciples gathered twelve baskets of leftovers. More than five thousand were at the supper.
