There were a bunch of people in the Bible whose main priority in life was to seek God and to live in the courts of the living God. Everything they did flowed from that single perspective. Moses was one of them, and so were the sons of Korah.For these people, the courts of the living God were the boundary of life. Every decision, every pursuit, every act was measured against this one thing: To survive and live in the courts of the Living God. To...
And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. Genesis 3:8
For who knows how long, the Lord God made His way into the garden each day, walking with Adam in the cool evening air. Perhaps this had gone on for years — day after day of unbroken communion between the Creator and the one He had made in His own...
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory” 1 Chronicles 4:10
Lord Jesus, bless me in such a way that every day I will seek and know you. Bless me in such a way that I can know you completely (the height and depth of you). Bless me in such a way that I can fully understand and comprehend you. Bless me until you become my greatest blessing and everything else fades away. Bless...

They paint the impressions and nature of God the Father in people’s hearts.Prophets first deal with people’s heart condition. They reveal the heart’s state / condition of the people. Prophets...
Each prophet in the Bible had more than 40 unique revelations of Jesus during their lifetime. If each prophet established a museum, it would house more than 40 unique paintings (revelations of Jesus). Isaiah would have a museum dedicated to Christ the Suffering Messiah that would feature paintings representing Jesus’ birth – a virgin giving birth to a son, Emmanuel – God is with us, Jesus the suffering savior king, Jesus on the Cross,...

Better is a day in Your courts than a thousand anywhere else. Lord Jesus, let me experience that one day in your courts which is better than a thousand elsewhere. Let me find your courts and experience that one day today. Let me experience the same experience which the Psalmist experienced in your courts that day.
Let what I learn by experience (in your courts) create a yearning to live in your courts. Let me be captivated by the splendor,...
One of the advantages of seeing God face to face on a daily basis is that your perspective of life changes from worldly perspective to eternal perspective. Everything you do will be seen in an eternal perspective. Your prayers will be done in an eternal perspective. Spending eternity with God and God’s eternal plans (or purposes) will get hold of you. You will start doing everything in preparation for eternity and spending eternity with God....
Did you ask yourself this question recently - When was the last time you repented? A healthy Christian is a Christian who repents and turns to God on a daily basis. These days repentance and fear of God is missing so much in the pulpits. Pulpits are filled with motivational speeches. The preachers don’t preach the ways of God and the fear of God but rather preach what people want. In their preaching they conceal or hide the deep damage caused...
Now it came to pass the same night that the LORD said to him, “Take your father’s young bull, the second bull of seven years old, and tear down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the wooden image that is beside it” Judges 6:25The Lord told Gideon to tear or break down the altar of Baal and cut down the wooden image beside it. Gideon did it and they called him Jerubbaal. If they changed the name, it means that its a...
