Beloved in Christ Ministry

I will love you O Lord, my strength The Lord is my rock and my fortress And my deliverer; my God my strength In whom I will trust. My shield And the horn of my salvation, My stronghold. I will call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised So shall I be saved form my enemies The pangs of death surrounded me And the flood of ungodliness made me afraid The sorrows of shoel surrounded me, The snares of death confronted me In my distress I called upon the Lord And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from his temple And my cry came before Him, even to His ears Psalm 18:1-6 Devouring fire from His mouth Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations of the hills also quaked And were shaken because He was angry Smoke went up from His nostrils And devouring fire from His mouth Coals were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also, And came down with darkness under his feet And rode upon a cherub and flew He flew upon the wings of the wind He made darkness his secret place His ...

Work hard and do not be lazy, Serve the Lord with a heart full of devotion, Let your hope keep you joyful, Be patient in your troubles, And pray at all times, Share your belongings with your needy fellow Christians And open your homes to strangers Romans 12:11-13 Accept humble duties Ask God to bless those who persecute you Yes ask him to bless not to curse Be happy with those who are happy Weep with those who weep Have the same concern for everyone Do not be proud, but accept humble duties Do not think of yourself as wise Romans 12: 14-16 Let God’s anger do it If someone has done you wrong, do not repay him with wrong Try to do what everybody considers to be good Do everything on your part to live in peace with everybody Never take revenge, my friends, instead let God’s anger do it For the scripture says “I will take revenge, I will pay back” says the Lord. Romans 12: 17-19 Give them a drink, Instead as the scripture says if your enemies are hungry, feed them if they are thirsty, gi...

Break the teeth of these fierce lions May they disappear like water draining away May they be crushed like weeds on a path May they be like snails that dissolve in slime May they be like a baby born dead and never see the light Before they know it, they are cut down Like weeds in His fierce anger God will blow them away while they are still living Psalm 58:6-9 People will say the righteous are indeed rewarded The righteous will be glad when they see sinners punished They will wade through the blood of the wicked People will say the righteous are indeed rewarded There is indeed a God who judges the earth. Psalm 58: 10-11 Human help is worthless now. Who Oh God will take me to the fortified city Who will lead me to Edom? Have you really rejected us? Aren’t you going to march out with our armies? Help us against the enemy Human help is worthless now. With God on our side, we will win, He will defeat our enemies Psalm 60; 9-12 Let me find safety under your wings Let me live in your sanctu...

The Earth is the Lord’s and all its fullness, the earth and those who dwell therein For he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord or who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol nor sworn deceitfully He shall receive blessings from the Lord And righteousness from the god of his salvation Psalm 24:1-5 Show me your ways oh Lord Show me your ways oh Lord Teach me your paths Lead me in your truth and teach me For you re the God of my salvation On you I wait all day Psalm 25 : 4-5 Do not remember the sins of my youth, Remember Oh Lord your tender mercies and your loving kindness For they are from of old Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions, According to your mercy remember me, For your goodness sake Oh Lord. Good and upright is the Lord; therefore He teaches sinners in the way All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth To such as ...

Praise God with shouts of joy all people Sing to the glory of his name Offer him glorious praise Say to God, how wonderful the things you do are Your power is so great That your enemies bow down in fear before you Everyone on earth worships you They sing praises to you They sing praises to your name Psalm 66:14 He changed the sea into dry land Come and see what God has done his wonderful acts for mankind He changed the sea into dry land Our ancestors crossed the river on foot There we rejoiced because of what he did He rules forever by his might and keeps his eyes on the nations Let no rebels rise against him Praise our God all nations Let your praise be heard Psalm 66:5-8 You let us fall into a trap He has kept us alive and has not allowed us to fall You have put us to the test God; As silver is purified by fire so you have tested us You let us fall into a trap And placed heavy burdens on our backs You let our enemies trample over us We went through fire and flood but now you have bro...

I am the high and holy God, who lives forever. I live in a high and holy place, but I also live with people who are humble and repentant, so that I can restore their confidence and hope. I gave my people life so that I will not continue to accuse them or be angry with them for ever. I was angry with them because of their sin and greed, so I punished them and abandoned them, but they were stubborn and kept on going their way I have seen how they acted but I will heal them, I will lead them and help them and I will comfort those who mourn. I offer peace to all both near and far, I will heal my people But evil people are like the restless sea, whose waves never stop rolling in, bringing filth and muck There is no safety for sinners said the Lord. Isaiah 57 15-21 Who are you making fun of? Come here to be judged you sinners, You are no better than sorcerers, adulterers, and prostitutes. Who are you making fun of? Who are you liars jeering at? You worship the fertility gods by having sex u...

My thoughts says the Lord are not like yours And my ways are different from yours As high as the heavens are above the earth so high are my thoughts and ways above yours Isaiah 55:8-9 Why spend money on what does not satisfy The Lord says come everyone who is thirsty, here is water Come you that have no money, buy corn and eat Come buy wine and milk It will cost you nothing Why spend money on what does not satisfy Why spend your wages and still be hungry? Listen to me and do what I say And you will enjoy the best food of all Listen now my people and come to me Come to me and you will have life I will make a lasting covenant with you And give you the blessings I promised to David I made him a leader and commander of nations and through him I showed them my power. Isaiah 55:1-4 Let the wicked leave their way of life Turn to the Lord and pray to him, Now that He is near Let the wicked leave their way of life And change their way of thinking Let them turn to the Lord our God He is merciful...

Who can understand the human heart? There is nothing else so deceitful It is too sick to be healed I, the lord search the human minds and test human hearts I treat each one according to the way he lives According to what he does The Person who gets money dishonestly is like a bird that hatches eggs it did not lay, in the prime of life he will lose his riches And in the end, he is nothing but a fool. Our temple is like a glorious throne Standing on a high mountain from the beginning Jeremiah 17 9:-12 All who abandon you will be put to shame Lord, you are Israel’s hope, All who abandon you will be put to shame They will disappear like names written in the Because they have abandoned you the lord, the spring of fresh water. Jer 17:13 I will condemn those who turn away from me The Lord says I will condemn those who turn away from me And put their trust in human beings In the strength of mortals They are like bushes in the desert Which grow in the dry wilderness? On salty ground where nothi...

Watch out for the new thing I am going to do It is happening already, you can see it now I will make a road through the wilderness and give you streams of water there Isaiah 43: 19 Be merciful to me oh God Be merciful to me Oh God, Because I am under attack My enemies persecute me at all times All day long, my opponent attack me There are so many who fight against me When I am afraid O Lord, almighty, I put my trust in you I trust in God and am not afraid I praise him for what he has promised What can a mere human being do to me Psalm 56:1-4 Lord, I have come to you for protection, Lord, I have come to you for protection, Never let me be defeated Because you are righteous, help me and rescue me Listen to me and save me Be my secure shelter And a strong fortress to protect me, you are my refuge and defence. My God rescue me from the wicked, from the power of those who are cruel and evil Sovereign Lord, I put my hope in you. I have trusted in you since I was young I have relied on you a...

He has kept us alive, and has not allowed us to fall Psalm 66:9 Thanks be to God who has kept us alive throughout the past year. We give him all the praise, honour and adoration for such a great miracle. It has not been easy for a lot of us. People have changed jobs, marriages have gone through difficulties, and some had to start life all over again after traumatic experiences. But in all these, the Lord has kept our heads above the waters. This is very interesting and very inspiring. Therefore as we bid farewell to another year in the Lord’s calendar and welcome another year, we give thanks to the almighty God, who has been our help and our shield. Who stands behind us like a mighty warrior, Who fights our enemies and bring them to nothing, Who listens and hears us in spite of our sins The Lord who has brought us out of the miry clay and set our feet upon the rocks. He has helped us wake up after surgery And every morning too, he brings us fresh grace, Wisdom and mercies to take us th...

And Mary said my soul magnifies the lord And my spirit has rejoiced in God my saviour For He has regarded the lowly state of his maidservant, for behold henceforth all generations shall call me blessed For He who is mighty has done great things for me and holy is His name And His mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation He has shown strength with his arm, He has scattered the proud in their imagination of their hearts He has put down the mighty from their thrones and exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things and the rich He has sent away empty He has helped His servant Israel in remembrance of His mercy As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever. Luke 1:46-55 He shall be great and be called Son of the Highest For Behold You will conceive in your womb and bring fourth a son and shall call his name JESUS. He shall be great and shall be called the son of the Highest and the Lord God will give him the throne of His father David And...

I am the vine, you are the branches Those who remain in me and I in them will bear much fruit For you can do nothing without me Whoever does not remain in men is thrown out like a branch and dries up, such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire where they are burnt. If you remain in me and my word remains in you, then you will ask for anything you wish and you shall have it. My father’s glory is shown by your bearing much fruit \and in this way, you become my disciples. I love you just as the father loves me; remain in my love John 15:5-9 The Helper I did not tell you these things at the beginning for I was with you, but now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you ask me where I am going. Now that I have told you, your hearts are full of sadness, but I am telling you the truth, it is better for you that I go away because if I do not go, the Helper will not come. If I go away, then I will send him to you, when he comes, he will prove to the people of the world that the...

You are my own dear son, the answer to my prayers What shall I tell you? Don’t spend all your energy on sex and all your money on women, they have destroyed kings, Listen, Lemuel, a king should not drink wine or have a craving for alcohol When they drink, they forget he laws and ignore the rights of the people in need. Alcohol is for people who are dying, for those whop are in misery Let them drink and forget their poverty and unhappiness Speak up for people who cannot speak for themselves Protect the rights of all who are helpless Speak for them and be a righteous judge. Protect the rights of the poor and needy. Prov. 31:2-9 You cannot please God without faith For without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him Hebrews 11:6 Trust in the Lord It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you, but if you but if you trust the lord you are safe, Prov.29:35 Strengthen yours...

When the Poor cried out, I helped them I gave help to the orphans who have no where to turn Those who were in deepest misery praised me And I helped widows find security I have always acted justly and fairly I was eyes for the blind And feet for the lame I was like a father to the poor And took the side of strangers in trouble. I destroyed the power of cruel men and rescued their victims. Job 29:12-17 This is the testimony of Job, one of the righteous men who ever lived and whom God was very proud of. His testimony about his social life should be an inspiration to all Christians We must all endeavour to live like job, helping the poor and putting smiles on the faces of sad people. There are people whose words always bring grief to people’s hearts and leave them wondering. That kind of attitude would not be the hall mark of Christians and people who would want God to brag about them. We must endeavour as Christians to take leadership seriously whenever we may find ourselves so that we...

I trust in you for Safety Protect me O God, I trust in you for safety, I say to the Lord, you are my Lord All the good things I have come from you How excellent are the Lord’s faithful people My greatest pleasure is to be with them Those who rush to other gods bring many troubles on themselves I will not take part in their sacrifices I will not worship their gods The Lord are all I have, and you give me all I need My future is in your hands How wonderful are your gifts to me, how good they are I praise the Lord, because he guides me And in the night my conscience warns me I am always aware of the Lord’s presence He is near and nothing can shake me So I am thankful and glad, I feel completely secure Because you protect me from the power of death I have served you faithfully and you will not abandon me to the world of the dead. Psalm 16:1-10 Path that leads to life You will show me the path that leads to life Your presence fills me with joy and brings me pleasure forever Psalm 16:11. The...

I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence comes my help? My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved, He who keeps you will not slumber behold He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil. He shall preserve your soul, the Lord shall preserve your going out and coming in from this time forth and forevermore. Psalm 121 Peace be within you For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say "Peace be within you Psalm 122: 8 House of the Lord I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the House of the Lord Our feet have been standing within your gates O Jerusalem Psalm 122:1-2 Strength and Honour Strength and honour are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come Prov.31:25 Fruits of her hands Give her of the fruit of her hands and let he...

The Lord said “If you will not obey my commands, you will be punished, if you refuse to obey my laws and commands and break the covenant I have made with you, I will punish you, I will bring disaster on you-incurable diseases and fevers that will make you blind and cause your life to waste away. You will sow your seed but it will do you no good because your enemies will conquer you and eat whatever you have grown. Leviticus 26:14-16 More Punishment I will turn against you so that you will be defeated And those who hate you will rule over you. You will be so terrified that you will run when no one is chasing you Leviticus 26:17 Further Punishment for disobedience Even if after all this you still do not obey me I will increase your punishment seven times, I will break your stubborn pride, there will be no rain and your land will be dry and hard as iron. Lev. 26:18-19 Blessings for Obedience “If you live according to my laws and obey my commands, I will send you rain at the right time ...

Deal gently with me Lord Deal bountifully with your servant that I may live and keep your word, open my eyes that I may see wondrous things from your law. Psalm 119:17 Your laws are my song Your statutes have been my song in the house of my pilgrimage I remember your name in the night Oh Lord and I keep your law This has become mine because I kept your precepts. Psalm 119:55-56 Seamen know how great the Lord is Oh that man would give thanks unto the Lord for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men! Let them sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving and declare His works with rejoicing Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business on great waters They see the wonders of the Lord and His wonders in the deep For He commands and raises the stormy wind which lifts up the waves of the sea. They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths; their soul melts because of trouble. They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man and are at their wits e...

I will praise you O Lord with my whole heart, I will tell of your marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in you I will sing praises to your name O most high When my enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at your presence For you have maintained my right and my cause You sat on the throne judging in righrteousness You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked, You have blotted out their names forever and ever O enemy destructions are finished forever And you have destroyed cities; even their memory has perished. But the Lord shall endure forever He has prepared his throne for judgment. He shall judge the world in righteousness and He shall administer judgment for the people’s in uprightness Psalm 9 :1-8 Refuge The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble And those who know your name will put their trust in you. For you Lord has not forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9:9-10 Praises Sing praises to to the Lord, who dwells in Zio...

And let us not grow weary while doing good for in due season, we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Gal. 6:9 Live in the spirit If we live in the spirit, let us also walk in the spirit Gal. 5:25 Envy and jealousy will destroy us Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. Gal. 5: 26 It is important for Christians to live in peace with other brethren and even worldly people. Wherever we may find ourselves, let us support each other. Envy and jealousy should not be part of anything that we do. We should avoid becoming jealous or envying our friends, brothers and sisters, colleagues etc over their looks, social status, money, education or anything. Envy and jealousy can gradually steal us away from our faith in Christ and we may drift into the path of destruction if we allow these two to possess us. Whenever feelings of jealousy and envy attempts to engulf us, let us remember the word of God which tells us to be wary of jealousy and envy. Our God is able to p...
