Genesis 3: Adam presumed on God’s love and lost it. He passed sin on to us all.









                                                                                           



"Dark is the stain that we cannot hide. What can avail to wash it away?"

Lord, begin Your work from my heart. In the matter of sin, my physical environment is not the problem, but my heart.

Give me a revelation of the depth and effect of sin on mankind so that the death of Jesus on the cross can have its right effect on my life, for my loved ones and for all mankind. "...All have sinned and come short of the glory of God."

Acts 13:1: "Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul." (KJV)

"...Manaen, an advisor to the ruler Herod..." (MSG)

Manaen was brought up with Herod, in same environment, under the same wicked hands in the king's court. Herod went to hell alive, yet Manaen became a prophet of God - two youngsters that grew under the same external condition, but with two different hearts. 

Some people were brought up under negative circumstances, yet God's mercy was able to locate them under the rubble because of the silent cries of their hearts.

The Gospel is mysteriously powerful and it can penetrate any situation or circumstance but majority of human hearts cannot be located under the rubble of life, so they perish in hell.

- Herod the Tetrach vs Manaen
- Judas Iscariot vs Peter
- Ananias & Saphira vs Barnabas
- Esau vs Jacob
- Demas vs Luke
- Nabal vs Abigail
- Cain vs Abel

 Lord, let Your mercy fish out my heart/my spouse's heart/my children's hearts from the tsunami and rubble of sin and sinful habits. Lord, work on my/our heart first.

 Affect my heart and capture it with the Gospel. Imprint the cause that took Jesus to the cross on it so I can begin to feel as You feel on the matter of sin.













Hebrews 10:5-7: "Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God."
  • As You prepared a body for Jesus to do Your will, prepare a life for me through the Gospel, to do Your will, O God.
  • As Jesus' death on the cross was the completeness of His obedience, please preserve my life till my obedience too is perfected and completed.
  • Lord Jesus, thank You for coming down to this earth from heaven to do God's will even when it meant a cruel death on the cross, so that I could be saved. Thank You.
  • Please equip me with Your life so I too can do Your will, whatever the cost, so that many lives can be saved through the power of Your Gospel.
  • Lord Jesus, please bind my heart to You permanently with Your love cord. Amen.

Come Thou Fount

 1. Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious measure,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
O the vast, the boundless treasure
Of my Lord’s unchanging love.

2. Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I’m come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.

3. O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy grace Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Take my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it from Thy courts above.
