Jeremiah 20:9 “Then I said, I will not make mention of him, Nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, And I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.”

 Jeremiah was being faithful to proclaim God’s message as he was told, […]

Jeremiah 14:11 Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for their good. Can you imagine a people getting so bad that God doesn’t want His people to pray for them. He has no plans of doing anything good for them. He will not be blessing them. I never want to get […]

Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. I want to be the kind of pastor to Vision Baptist that God wanted to give to His people in this passage. I want to feed our people with knowledge and understanding. I want to […]

Jeremiah 1:7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. I can’t make excuses. God says that He will see to it that Jeremiah will go and that he will speak. That […]

Isaiah 54:2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; This is the verse that William Carey used to write his very famous article or sermon that caused the modern missionary movement called AN ENQUIRY INTO THE OBLIGATIONS […]

Isaiah 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Israel has great and rich promises from the Lord. I believe that these same promises […]

Isaiah 37:20 Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD, even thou only. The battle today is to show which is the one true God. Can you hear the Muslims as they boast about the power of their […]

Isaiah 28:7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; The priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, They are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; They err in vision, they stumble in judgment. 

Here one of the reasons those in leadership erred was […]

Isaiah 15:9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. Judgment all around. War, stress, fighting, fear, etc but they decided to […]

Isaiah 12:5 Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. He surely hath done excellent things. And the whole earth should know that. Isaiah could say that God was his salvation. He could speak of drawing water from the well of salvation. Isaiah 12:3 Therefore with […]

Isaiah 10:15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood. Let us ever be […]

Isaiah 1:3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. This verse is pretty rough. Even a donkey knows where he lives, where he gets fed, and who it is that owns him. God’s people do not know as much as the […]

Song of Solomon 2:2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. 3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. A lesson we learn […]

Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. It doesn’t take many years for a man to realize that life is vanity just like the wise man tells us. Time and chance happens to all. You work for […]

Proverbs 25:28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. Ruling your spirit talks about your controlling your spirit or having self control. Without self control you are like a city with no protection against your enemies. Satan and sin will have full […]

Proverbs 23:5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. Why do we get so hungry for something that doesn’t really exist. The Bible says that money, wealth is something that is not. Money will not stick around. The […]

Proverbs 14:23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury. It doesn’t matter where you work you can make a profit there. It is the cheap talk that leads to poverty. We spend so much time complaining about the job we have and wishing for the job […]

Proverbs 9:7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. Words of Wisdom for the discipler. You must learn who you can rebuke and who you should not rebuke. Often times we waste our time on people who are not interested. They are […]

Proverbs 2:3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. The main reason so few of us get much […]

Psalm 147:15 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly. His word runneth swiftly. I think that it should be our concern to see to it that God’s word run through out the earth. That seems to have been the concern of the psalmist—the Jews the people of God sang that. […]

Psalm 138:4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth. If they were to but hear the words of His mouth they would praise Him. The problem is that they do not hear. We do not tell. We do not send His gospel to […]

Psalm 119:173 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. God help me because I have chosen your Word. I have decided that I want to learn your Word and put it into practice in my life. I am asking you because of that to help me. I ask for your help […]

Psalm 119:27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. What a wonderful prayer that God would help us to understand what He says in His Word. If we understand we are able to think about it. As we understand it will become a part of […]

Psalm 108:3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. David desires to sing His praises among all the nations. The desire we have to get the message to the world is not a new message rather it is the Old message restated and […]

Psalm 102:20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death; God looks down from his sanctuary to behold the earth. Psalm 102:19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth; He hears the groaning of the prisoners […]

Psalm 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. We need to learn to count how much time we have left here on this earth so that we can see to it that we are applying our hearts to wisdom. We have been given a short life. […]

Psalm 78:9 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. Will you turn back in the day of battle? The children of Ephraim were armed and had bows. They were physically prepared for battle. I am sure that they had prepared and had talked about it but […]

Psalm 72:19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen. As the psalmist blesses the Lord and sings his praises he states that he would like to have the whole world filled with the glory of the Lord. I wonder how much […]

Psalm 67:2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations. The psalmist asks that God be merciful to him, bless him and cause his face to shine upon him but he has a purpose to this prayer. I am afraid that the majority of us seek to have God […]

Psalm 48:10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness. Thy praise unto the ends of the earth! I find it interesting that David speaks of God, His praise, and the ends of the earth all in one sentence. Apparently […]
