Heavenly Father, I Pray for spiritual freshness to fall upon each of us individually and collectively as a body of believers to effectively serve in building up your kingdom here on earth.

Help us to use our spiritual gifts and talents for ministry, mission and witnessing to the unchurched and unsaved in our homes, communities and beyond.

I Pray for spirit-fed, spirit-lead, anointed pastors, teachers, preachers, leaders, prayer warriors and all true Christ-followers to rise up with holy boldness and proclaim that YOU ALONE are THE TRUE AND LIVING CHRIST!

Please Hear my humble prayer on this day…It’s In the strong and mighty Name of JESUS I pray and praise forever…Amen.🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Worship While You Wait!”

Are you still waiting on GOD to fulfill a Promise or answer a Prayer? Does your waiting seem to be weighing you down—causing your promise to be overshadowed by your pain? 

Don’t despair! GOD is not a man, that He should Lie; nor is He the son of man, that He should change His mind. If He said it…He will Do it! 

If He promised it…it will come to pass!The LORD, Your GOD, Will perfect that which concerns you!☝🏾

Pray With Expectancy!🙏🏽

Give GOD Radical Praise…NOW!🙌🏼

Hide God’s Word In Your Heart.📖 

Be Strong In The LORD💪🏽and of Good Courage 🦁while you WAIT. ⏰⏳

The Master is perfecting His Masterpiece!🙏🏽~M. Ford 

“The LORD will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.”  (Psalms‬ ‭138:8‬)

🎁4–GIFTS For CHRIST This CHRISTmas!🎁

Let’s celebrate the “CHRIST” in CHRISTmas by giving JESUS 4 gifts HE truly desires from each of us.🎁✝️

🎁GIFT #1: Give Him your Heart, Soul and Mind.♥️😇🤯Be READY and WILLING to RESPOND to the CALLING HE has on your Life—STIR UP YOUR GIFT(S) FOR HIS GLORY!🙌🏼🎁

🎁GIFT #2: Give Him your Obedience. Giving Christ what “you want Him to have” is NOT the same as giving Him what He requires of you. In Thought, Action and Deed—Obey His Word in every way and every day! Obedience is better than sacrifice!🙌🏼🎁

🎁GIFT #3: Give Him your Service—Each of us have gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use those spiritual gifts for God’s glory and honor!🙌🏼🎁

🎁GIFT #4: Give Him your Praise! Your Praise should NOT depend upon your predicament. When JESUS is the CENTER of your JOY, you can always find a reason to RAISE your PRAISE!🙌🏼 Praise Him for WHO He is and ALL He had done!🙌🏼🎁

Lord Jesus…I freely submit and surrender to you ALL of me—heart, soul and mind…withholding nothing! Thank you, ABBA, for the Greatest Gift of all! Amen🎁🙏🏽~M. Ford

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!🎁

“Tis’ The Season”

“TIS’ THE SEASON”

Some cannot see the JOY of Jesus in The Season for focusing on the pain of their current situation. The voice of despair is ringing louder than the voice of triumph and is calling you to Quit.

Beloved, Don’t you dare listen to the voice of THE ENEMY that may sound like your own!😈🤛🏽

Although this Season May be difficult, Quitting is NOT an Option. You have been CALLED to a Higher PURPOSE!

JESUS didn’t Quit on The Cross, so neither can you. Keep on trusting God. Get Up and Show Up for the assignment. God only requires that you do your best…then HE will do the rest!

Watch God Work it all out for your good and His glory!🙌🏼🌈Now…go on and have a Blessed Day ON PURPOSE…IN JESUS’ Name!🙏🏽~M. Ford

STEPPING STONES

“STEPPING STONES”

The enemy meant what happened to you to become a stumbling block, BUT GOD turned it into a Stepping Stone.

MORAL: Don’t let your Past define your Future. God can make all things NEW…Including you! Walk On By Faith into your promised land…In Jesus’ Name! 🙏🏽~M. Ford

“When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, And when you run, you will not stumble.” (Proverbs‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

WAIT ON GOD!

Published on by Duty to Delight MinistriesLeave a comment

God’s Word for Today—Psalms 39-40. Just because your enemies are being nice to you doesn’t mean that they are now for you.🤔Remember…Everything God shows you or shares with you is not always meant to show and share with everyone else. They might just be looking for ways to infiltrate your camp! Some things in life we just gotta go through. But don’t worry…while your enemy is trying to mess you up, God’s gonna mess them up! Just remember as you walk THROUGH the Valley WHO your Sovereign God is and WAIT on HIM to fix it! God will make everything all right in His time and on time! WAIT, I say on the LORD…and Keep SOARing Higher!🫶🏼🦅🙏🏽~M. Ford
