Devotional

From the Desk of Bishop Preusser

Rev. Siegfried Preusser
John 14:15 "If you love me keep My commandments
2.Corinthians 8:12 "For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has,

"I am willing Lord is the difficult part of our daily prayer. God desires our love towards Him on a voluntarily base which gives us at any time the opportunity to decide. The obligation "If shows us again His mercy, grace and love towards us. It is not a command , but a gentle question to guide us into His will which is all the time for our best.
Being obviously not perfect, God who knows the heart of man is just looking for a willing mind, the mind of Christ. He gave up His will and submitted in the garden of Gethsemane : ,not my will but thy will be done. This would be the greatest form to express our love towards our creator , redeemer and savior. Through Jesus being willing minded , He had given up His royalty and became a man, that He could fulfill the law and the prophets when He became the omnipotent sacrifice to redeem mankind from sin and death. Jesus asked His disciples/followers : If you love me keep my commandments not only once , but many times. They finally obeyed, and from this fruit of their obedience towards the commands of Christ we are able to claim the Gospel of Jesus Christ even two thousand years after He ascended to heaven.
Paul explains in Romans 8:1-11 the difference of the law and our part of it. The law of sin and death didn"t work for the Jews , because the works out of the flesh couldn"t redeem them, even when they tried it so hard. The opposite was the result out of their trying of keeping the law, spiritual death. After Christ died and arose from the death we entered into the son ship of God through redemption. We became dead to that old law of sin and of death, but much more we became alive to the law of the Spirit of life in Jesus Christ(Rom.8:2). The keeping of His commandments includes an keeping of His law (of the Spirit of life), because " that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. (Rom.8:4). And we received the Spirit of God who indwells and guides us that we might fulfill His commandments not because we need to , but much more because we want to please our Father which is in heaven.. Than we are able to pray : I am willing Lord, to keep thy commandments , because I love you ! Amen

Divine Expectations





Beloved Covenant Partner,

what a joy it is to be called and chosen by God. What a privilege to be equipped and sent out into this world with the gospel of salvation and the power of the Holy Ghost?

This year has been a tremendous year. Things, that have been usual, have become unusual and other things have occurred that we never expected. But one thing remained firm and stable: The Lord Jesus Christ and His promises!

In one of my last sermons, that I have preached to our congregation in Berlin Germany lately, the Lord revealed to us the urgency of waking up. The Christian and the Church have become quite comfortable and lukewarm (Rev.3:15), but most of all, we lost the daily expectation, that God will do the incredible supernatural intervention in our own life. Finally to perform His divine miracle in your life! Are you ready to ask, expect and receive your miracle from God today?

As ministers of God, we are surrounded by people, that expect from us to live in such attitude towards God every day. They become quite disappointed, when they don't experience their miracle and start to blame God and finally you for it. Even to the point where they become jealous of you, because you live daily in the supernatural of God. This spirit can affect your anointing and your heart to the point where you become like them - unexpective towards your own divine miracle.

You have been called to lift up the congregation, to walk by faith and to keep up the vision, but you recognize day by day that you become yourself disappointed, because you do not see God's divine miracle power in the life of others, that you pray for and sometimes in your own life. You start your day without this God given gift of expectation! What a disaster for you and victory for the devil!?

Beloved friend, step out off this trap and shake off the dust from your feet! It is time to walk by faith, fully expecting: God is keeping His word and promise for you today. He is ready to give you your so deeply needed miracle today, if you just worship him and believe that He is able!

Many of our Covenant Partners experience lack of support in many regards! This support maybe financially, domestically, ministerial or other nature, and it will affect your faith and ministry tremendously, if you allow yourself to change your attitude of expectation.

In Matthew 6:33-34 the Lord Jesus declares: But seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things.

Why don't you start again to walk to your mailbox expecting the great financial release, when you open this strange looking letter, which holds a check of the amount you believed for many month and years, plus an additional amount of divine blessing? Why don't you call a church meeting to release those helping hands that will take off that heavy load from your shoulders? Why don't you call that landlord of that compound that you have been trying to purchase for your ministry since years and tell him that you will purchase it for the amount that God has chosen? I think I could go on and on, but you got the message?!

Let's get back to the Lord's business, so that He can do His job and bless you with your miracle. It has been already set up for delivery, but we have forgotten to tell God the address where and when to deliver it!!

Stay faithful, blessed and ready, claiming all the promises of God, being ready to receive and ready to bless under the anointing of the Holy Ghost.

Expect your Miracle today!
