FACTS Mar 11-17, 2018

FOCUS

Psalm 116:12-14 (NIV): How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord. I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.

ADORATION

1 Corinthians 12:7-11 (NIV): Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.

CONFESSION

1 Corinthians 5:6-8 (NIV): Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough? Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast — as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.

THANKSGIVING

1 Corinthians 10:23-24 (NIV): “Everything is permissible”-but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible”-but not everything is constructive. Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.

SUPPLICATION

Ephesians 6:7-8 (NIV): Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.

  1. Karen,
    I actually thought I had something original. I developed an acronym FOCUS
    with the same words years ago.
    I used
    Focus (on Christ in you),
    Adoration (worship Christ seated on the Throne of your Heart and simultaneously on throne of Grace in heaven.His attributes.
    Confession, ask the Holy Spirit to examine our heart and confess any sins or offences He reveals,
    Thanksgiving for all His blessings & mercies
    Supplication for the intercession of needs

    Just amazed at this confirmation, and scriptures.
