ሳምንታዊ የመጸሐፍ ቅዱስ ንባብ እቅድ (2ኛ ወር)

Weekly Bible Reading Planner (2nd month)

Hi guys,

I hope that you are keeping up with the reading. Tomorrow I will bring out  the next reading plan, we will be starting our reading with Exodus.

As I read Ephesians, there are few powerful prayers that Paul prays for the church. I just want to remind you that we can pray those prayers for our loved once, church, and also ourselves. You can personalize it for example:

A Prayer for the Ephesians personalized (for self)… (Eph 3:16-21)

…. Father, I pray that out of Your glorious riches You may strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith. And I pray that I, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that I may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21to You be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.

Matthew 5-7

Matthew 5-7

When I read the verse on Salt and Light, I had my own interpretation. Pastor taught us few more things about that section on Sunday. This was good because it allowed me to listing to his perspective as well as putting my thoughts together.  There is a song I have on my iTunes by Kari Jobe, “ WE ARE”  and she says....

We are the light of the world

We are the city on a hill

We are the light of the world

We gotta, We gotta

  We got let the light shine...

This falls right in that line :)

So lets not get influence by those who are not willing to their light to be shined, if we do we will lose our saltiness.  

As I was reading ch.5 21-25 I had to step back and reevaluate myself. As a human being, we all know that we are not perfect. I believe one of the things I have made an improvement on is learning to forgive and forget. That part of me I feel is unbeatable, but with the grace of God I will learn to move past that part of me. 

It’s amazing how as humans, we worry so much each and everyday. In Ch.6 25-34 should be a reminder to all of us how we worry about little things in life that doesn’t even matter. Personally I learned it the hard way, nothing in life goes as you plan or works out better if you worry about them. You can beat your head against the wall if you like; there is nothing that can change the fact that God has a better plan for us all!!!

We all need a good foundation in our lives. As it is written in Matthew Ch.7 24-27, if we fill ourselves with the word of God and put it to use we are standing strong. Nothing can put us down. For those who are not, are standing weak and anything that comes their way will knock them down. This is very important for me, this bible study group will help me stay on that lane to success.

Question to consider

Are you focused on achieving success in the kingdom of this world or in the kingdom of heaven? 

Matthew 3-4

The baptism of Jesus signifies the moment he sees the light ( the sprit of God). When we are baptized we are tied with Jesus. We are to live a new life with Christ as well as commit to follow and believe in him. Once Jesus was baptized, he pursued on a journey to do great things such as preaching and healing the sick. 

As we all face temptation in our daily lives, Jesus himself was tempted by the devil. “ If you are the Son of god,’’ he said, “Throw yourself down. For it is written: “He will command his angles concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.” (Mat 4:6) Jesus responded “Do not put the Lord your God to the test.” (Mat 4: 7) When we allow temptation take over us, we become distant with God. When have faith in our Lord Jesus, we can defend ourselves from evil. For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.”  (Mat 4:10) In todays society, there are many things that can lead to temptation, but if we stand firm and serve our ONLY God, nothing can harm us.

Here is a question I found that we can all think about

• Suppose that Jesus had never come, that God had merely sent an elaborate love note. What difference would that have made?

Matthew 1-2

Matthew 1-2 The first two chapters discusses the genealogy and the birth of Jesus Christ. There were Fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David. Mary is to marry Joseph, but she was already pregnant through the Holy Sprit. During that time, the law allowed women to be executed for adultery. Joseph could have done so, but he obeyed the angles message. Joseph received three angelic message in dreams. First he was called to care for a wife he never slept with and a child who was not his. Then he was ordered to flee to Egypt. Finally an angle told him to return home. Joseph was a good man who follow orders and treated his son as his own. I believe we all should listen to our heart and listen to the Lord, who will guide us to do the right things.
