DISCERNING GOD’S INCREDIBLE GREATNESS
A poem and essay by ILMA
When was the last time you were awed by God’s creation?
Isn’t it amazing how a mother blooms as she goes through conception?
Have you meditated on how the Spirit directs you to Christ?
What silent miracles has God done that changed your life?
Pray that you will understand God’s incredible greatness
Soak in his love and learn his amazing mercy and faithfulness
If you continue to believe in God’s power, he will give you wisdom
It is by faith that you will be experience peace, joy and freedom.
________________________________________
Social media, material things, relationships can veer us away from God. The enemy does his best to steal our time, joy and peace so that we will not experience the life God wants us to have. I sometimes still have trouble keeping focused on Jesus. There is always something or someone that Satan uses to keep us tempted or eventually fall into sin. There are times that in my conversations with God, I find my thoughts going all over the place. The old self can get the better of me and win in getting my attention away from the Lord. The bible tells us to pray that we will have discernment of God’s incredible greatness.
PRAYER
Lord, keep me always focused on you.
REFLECTION
What do you think is the benefit of focusing on God’s greatness?

The disciples were amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked. “Even the winds and waves obey him!” -Matthew 8:27 (NLT)
AMAZING JESUS!
A poem and essay by ILMA
When there is anointing and blessing in somebody
God can use this person to bring out his power and authority
When he was with his disciples, Jesus had much power
Even the winds and waves obeyed; evil spirits cowered.
The people who witnessed all his miracles and supremacy
Were astounded with his remarkable sovereignty
He stunned unbelievers as he displayed his radiance
It brings them to on their knees as they witness his magnificence.
________________________________________
Have you ever been amazed at Jesus’ power? The very first time I actually experienced the hand of God was during my loneliest moments. Out of desperation, I was hypnotized to end my life. He sent a friend of mine over who I haven’t seen for a while out of the blue to check up on me. She saved my life in the nick of time. Sometimes the miracles are very subtle and took me years to recognize that it was God who actually interceded to save me from falling into this dark pit. He lighted up many unlit places in my heart and never ceased to pursue me to get back to his love.
During Jesus’ time with his disciples as they were preaching God’s word, his followers were amazed at how even nature obeyed Christ.
PRAYER
Lord, let me see your hand in even little things you do for me.
REFLECTION
How can we stay awed with God’s power?

For nothing is impossible with God. –Luke 1:32 (NLT)
GOD’S POWER
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you suffering from a disease?
Do you struggle with having peace?
Is there someone making your life difficult?
Do people put you down and find fault?
Nothing is impossible with God for he has power
He can change you and make the devil cower
No matter what you are experiencing
He can alter it and keep you going.
________________________________________
I have been a Christian since I was seven years old. There have been numerous events in my life that I saw God working. I wouldn’t be here now and witnessing for him if I haven’t experience his power. I have gone through life with so much adversities and pain, but he still held my hand and walked me through life. It was only through him that I had victory over all the strongholds and generational sins that were handed down to me from many generations. He has totally stripped me of all the things that distract me from being intimate with him. He loves me so much that he wouldn’t allow anything bad to happen to me. He genuinely cares for me and disciplines me with so much love.
The bible says that with God, all things are possible. It is in believing, obeying and depending on him that we can actually discern and see what he is doing in our lives.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for loving me immensely.
REFLECTION
What miracles has God done in your life?

GOD’S POWER Poem Devotional

Aug 19                                                                 The Power of God’s Word
What he opens, no one can close; and what he closes, no one can open.
– Revelation 3:7(NLT)
GOD’S POWER
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you realize how much power God has?
He can let you move on and forget the past
God can close doors that no one can
He has the power to alleviate your pain.
What he opens, no one else can close
He will protect believers from all evil and foes
He only allows what is good for us
He will test our strength so we can pass.
Has God opened doors and opportunities for you to grow or has he actually closed something that you enjoyed so long?
God opened doors in my life that brought so much recognition to me. He gave me teaching, acting, and painting careers simultaneously. He made me do things that I normally could not do. Later on, it became the source of pride. God took it away from me because it was destroying my priorities. He opened the chance for me to display his power but I used it to idolize myself. It is like a child being given a new toy and that child never wants to let go of it. It was consuming the child’s time and energy. God took it away from me so I can focus only on him.
PRAYER
Lord, give me discernment and trust.
REFLECTION
Why is it important to trust God no matter what?
