Sound Doctrine: Beyond the Milk with Pastor Bo

Bible Verse and Quote for Today:

For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? (1Pet 3:12-13).

It’s comforting to know that God's eyes watches over us and he listens to our prayers despite our unrighteousness.

Sometimes, we don’t feel it and we fall into condemnation from our heart or from the enemy because of our sins and shortcomings. But the Holy Spirit does not condemn us, he convicts us so that we can repent, confess, and ask for forgiveness.

Our righteousness is not dependent on our good deeds but the righteousness of Jesus. It’s an imputational righteousness based on his justification, and this sanctifies us, and puts us in “right standing” before God.

Because we are right standing before God, he watches over us, to protect, guide, and direct us. He watches over our household and everything about us. He listens to our prayers, our thoughts, our sighings. He loves us that much.

Let us come boldly to his throne with this confidence knowing that he loves and cares for us.

The Bible says pride goes before destruction. God takes measures to ensure that he gives grace before he gives glory to his children so that the glory does not lead them to destruction through pride. In this podcast, we look at the things we have in our lives that may make us to be proud without knowing it.

Reading from Proverbs 16:3 and Psalm 37:5, the morning devotion focuses on the result and blessing of committing your works and ways to the Lord.

In Gal 6:9: Paul says, "Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."

Here in this morning devotional, are five ways a Christian can be weary in well-doing and ways to receive strength.

That is the main focus of this broadcast. Come along to listen to this devotional.

What is true blessing?

Many have been misled by what some leaders have misrepresented to them as true blessing. Many believers have been fed with the wrong narrative and have been sucked into believing that they are not blessed because they don't have these things. Material things, money, positions, etc, hardly qualify as blessing when it does not come from God or serve God's purpose.

So what is true blessing?

In this devotional, the speakers highlights a few of these blessings and how to recognize, and possess them. Happy listening!

Isa 41:10-13

(10)  Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

(11)  Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.

(12)  Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.

(13)  For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
