D L Moody once said, “I know the Bible is inspired because it inspires me.” So, when you read your BIble this week, be prepared to be inspired by God, no matter what your circumstances.

The Apostle Paul tells us the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control (Galatians 5:22). Are these attributes clearly visible in your life – every day – no matter what the circumstances? If not why not? This week, why not pray for a fresh input from the Holy Spirit. I am certainly going to!

This week, why not ask God to show you can praise Him in everything you do, day by day?

The strong Christian message that was broadcast to millions of people in the UK and billions across the world throughout the Queen’s funeral, will have made many sceptics think again about their own eternal destiny. Don’t miss this opportunity to talk to your relatives, friends and neighbours about John 14 and the Queen’s absolute confidence in her heavenly Father.

Are you always trying to the impossible and failing? If so, then this quote is for you. “Trust God for the impossible miracles are His department. Our job is to do our best, letting the Lord do the rest”(David Jeremiah).

Whatever situation you find yourself, God will meet you there in order to take you where He wants you to go. You only have to ask.

Did you know that Barnabas was often referred to as “The Encourager” because that’s what he did! He encouraged people especially when they were struggling. You can read about Barnabas the Encourager in Acts 11:22-26. Perhaps inspired by Barnabas, why not try to encourage someone this week. Tell them that you care and encourage them to persevere, no matter what problems they are facing. Doing so, will help help them and you to keep going!

This week, no matter what happens, just remember we serve an awesome God, who through His mighty power at work within us, can accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. So, before you rush into His presence with your shopping list, remember to first worship Him because He is the Almighty.

This week, no matter how you are feeling, why not thank God for one of HIs many gifts to you.

Most preachers would agree that their preaching is for life change. But how how eager are you to make changes in your life? One of my favourite sayings from my teaching days was to say, “If you keep doing what you keep doing, you will keep getting what you keep getting.” This week, why not think about how this might apply to you?
