Happy Mother's Day!!!

DAILY DEVOTIONAL SUNDAY MAY 12, 2024

(Matthew 15:21-28)

***LIVEPRAYER CHURCH!!! Haven't been to church yet this week? Join me for this week's service at the LivePrayer Church. This week's message is: “A Mother's Love!” Please visit the website at: http://liveprayerchurch.com and be part this week's worship service. Each Sunday there will be a new service at 12:01am EST

***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: While flowers and gifts are always a nice gesture, the most important thing you can do for your mother is to interact with her. Distance may require that to be via a phone call or on facetime, but the greatest gift you can give your mother is YOU and spending some time with her!

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, Thank You for my mother! Please help me to live this day honoring You in my thoughts, words, and deeds. Help me this day to live my life pleasing and acceptable to Jesus. Allow me to use my life to help someone else during this day, and be kind to everyone I come across no matter how they may treat me. Let Christ shine through me throughout this day oh Lord, be glorified through my life! In Jesus name I pray...AMEN!

***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: Happy “birthing person's day, or as those of us who hold to traditional values and speech...Happy Mother's Day! As I have been trying to help people understand, the globalists want to turn this nation into just another clump of dirt on the face of the earth. Destroying statues and monuments, trying to rewrite the history of this nation, looking to undermine and do away all of our institutions, and erase our traditions like July 4th are all purposeful premeditated actions. So why is anyone shocked they now want to pervert Mother's Day! So you know, this “birthing person's day” is not just for women, oh no, but men too! Of course this is only physiologically possible because in this “new world” they are trying to create, a biological woman who is mentally ill and thinks she is a man IS STILL A WOMAN SINCE ONLY WOMEN CAN GIVE BIRTH TO A BABY!!! So for all the mothers out there, enjoy your “birthing person's day” brunch with your family!!!

***MAY FINANCIAL UPDATE: We ended April with our March shortfall down to the final $15,000. So far $10,000 of that has come in leaving the final $5,000 for March plus the $55,000 we required for our April ministry operations for a total of $60,000 heading into May.

I am praying we can clear up that $60,000 shortfall over the next week of May so we can begin working on the $55,000 for our May ministry operations, making a total of $115,000 to end May with all of our ministry operations current as we head into the summer months! OUR GOD IS ABLE!!!

The Bible teaches us to “give according to our ability to give.” For some that may be $10 or $20. For others it may be $50 or $100. Still others it may be $200, $500, $1,000, $10,000 or more. Pray and the Lord will guide you as you make your sacrifice!

ALSO, DON'T FORGET A GIFT OF $1,800 COVERS ONE DAY OF MINISTRY AT LIVEPRAYER!!!

On this day that we honor our mothers, I thought it fitting to share with you this wonderful story from God's Word that personifies a mother's love. I have often said a mother's love can be broken down into the 3 P's. Pleading, persistence, and prayer. I can testify today that the only reason I am in the ministry is because my mother who is with the Lord now, pleaded, was persistent, and prayed. I have no doubt that many of you know Jesus as your Savior because of your mother's prayers. So in honor of our mothers, let me break down the 3 P's of a mother's love for you.

A mother will plead for her child. It was the deep love for her daughter that drove the Canaanite woman in today's scripture to Jesus, pleading for mercy for her daughter. In our time of despair, "something" pulls us to God. Many people, who openly reject God, will cry out in a time of need. Even believers will live apart from Christ, not giving Him much time in their daily life . . . until the trials come. This mother in her hour of need, knew where to go to plead for help.

Persistence is something that defines a mother. Moms have a God-given talent to stay on something, no matter how long it takes, to get the job done. Many times, God delays His answer to test our belief, much like He did in the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18:2-5. Are you serious about the needs in your life? Then don't give up . . . be persistent. Isaiah 65:24 gives us that special promise, "before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear." God has promised to hear and answer our prayers, but that does not always mean in our timing. Often, we need to be persistent, like this Canaanite mother who was not going to be denied the miracle she sought for her daughter.

If persistence defines a mother, then prayer is her greatest weapon. In verse 25 of today's scripture we hear the simple prayer of faith, "Lord help me!" Moms are prayer warriors. Moms know that it is prayer that moves the hand of God. Moms know that prayer works because it demonstrates to God that we are powerless in our own strength, and have put our faith in Him. Jesus healed this woman's daughter because of her faith!

I want to encourage you today to honor your mother, she is a great gift from God. It is also God's commandment that we honor our mother. For those of you who have been estranged, separated from your Mom due to the events of life, please, swallow your pride and contact her today. No matter what may have happened in the past, tell her that you love her. I understand that many mothers have not been what God called them to be, but through your love, God can restore them.

For those like me whose Mom is with the Lord, let me suggest calling a local nursing home and finding out the name of a lady who has no family, no regular visitors. An inexpensive arrangement of flowers and 5 minutes of your day just to tell her she hasn't been forgotten on this Mother's Day will touch a life like you cannot even imagine. I am a firm believer that the little acts of kindness, even to strangers, are our most effective and powerful ministry. Don't let this day pass without making it special for your mother.

I love you and care about you, and it is my goal each day to encourage you and challenge you to have that intimate daily relationship with the Lord that He desires to have with us. I know from years in the ministry, one of the biggest concerns for Moms is their unsaved children. Mom, let me stand in agreement with you today for your unsaved kids. I will pray in agreement with you for their salvation. It would be an honor and privilege to stand in agreement with you for the salvation of your kids, since I realize that is your number one prayer request. Millions will be in Heaven because of the prayers of mom!!!

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
