WE LOVE AND CARE ABOUT YOU.
YOURS IN CHRIST!
THE UNDYING LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST!
EPESIANS 6:24
“Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in Sincerity.Amen”.
What is grace? GRACE – GOD’S FREE and UNMERITED FAVOR for sinful humanity.
GOD'S FREE - given freely, abundantly, available to one and all - no one is excluded - man, woman, boy, girl, slave, free man, rich, poor, all different colors, sizes and shapes - NO ONE is excluded
UNMERITED FAVOR - not deserved, nothing I can do - can't earn it, can't pay for it, can't be good enough, can't do anything to appease the Lord - it is given freely by the Lord - to who?
ALL who love Jesus our Lord and Savior (verse 6:24)
That’s a "catch" - not given to those who don't believe, who don't put their faith in him, who don't accept Jesus as Savior -
But to those who do -
GRACE - God's free and unmerited favor is given
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LOVE JESUS?
Worship Him, Adore him, Serve him, Put Him first, Seek Him, Live for Him
With an undying love The NKJV says With Sincerity
(verse 24)
Forever.
Always.
Not when the time is right or things are going right, but ALWAYS in ALL WAYS - all circumstances
Trusting Him
Seeking Him
There's a Promise here
Grace is the promise - what the Lord gives us
But its a conditional promise - we have to do something to get it.
Here’s the condition - we have to love Jesus.
We get the grace of God by loving our Lord Jesus Christ
Worshipping Him, seeking Him, putting Him first, and living for Him with an undying love.
A love that never perishes, A love that is there forever, A love that lasts through thick and thin, good times and bad times, A love that never gives up; A love that trusts
“I want this undying love Lord; help me to get it, help me to put you first in all circumstances, to love you completely, to love you no matter what and to trust in you always, in your precious name I pray, Jesus”.
Obviously, the early Christians understood this, and were willing to live for Christ, and to die for Him. The Bible clearly states we are to do the same. ARE WE WILLING TO?
PRAISE THE LORD.
CHOOSE LIFE.
DEUTRONOMY 31:19 KNJV / AMPLIFIED.
“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, Blessing and Cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live”
“I CALL HEAVEN AND EARTH AS WITNESSES TODAY AGAINST YOU” In Luke 11:48 speaks about witnesses and it says, “In fact you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers; For they indeed killed them, and you build their tomb. Luke 12:8 goes on to say that whoever confesses me before men, him the son of man will confess before Angels of God. One witness shall not rise up against a man, but at the rise of two witnesses the matter shall be established. We are also witnesses against ourselves.
“I have set before you life and death” Life is Jesus (Word), All that Jesus died for, John1:1-4. Death is the absence of Jesus (Word) in ones’ life. For anybody who hates Jesus Christ Loves death.
WHAT IS LIFE
It is a funny question and one would say why would one think of asking such a question. This question doesn’t have a definite answer but I can tell you any thing that has the following characteristics is life.
a). Anything with life grows and develops,
b). They need to take in you can say feed on something to make strong,
c). Life reproduces and passes its traits to its offspring;
d). Life gets rid of waste.
e). Life responds to the environment.
d). With time Life evolves/changes in response to the environment.
So for something to be considered to have life it must posses the above characteristics
BLESSING AND CURSING. According to Deuteronomy11: 27 The blessing. If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God He commands you today. Deuteronomy28: 2 says all those Blessings shall come upon you and overtake you because you obey the voice of the Lord your God. Cursing in Deuteronomy 27:15-26 shows you who a cursed person is and in summary Cursed is one who doesn’t obey the voice of the Lord, to observe carefully all his commandment.
“THEREFORE CHOOSE LIFE” We see in this statement that in everything we do we have a choice or the power to choose and God our father shows us the right way to go or what to choose, Otherwise he would have just let us make our choices.
Jesus is life in John14:6 “Jesus is the way the truth and the LIFE no one comes to the father Except through me”, Joshua 24:15 also says “Choose for yourselves today whom you will serve”. When Jesus came on earth, He says that He came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. He Says so that we might have life because he knew that the decision was ours, If we Choose LIFE that would mean that we have chosen Salvation, Righteousness, Love, Faith, Healing, Holiness, Peace, joy, Integrity Meekness, Wholeness, Prosperity and Temparance. All of the above grow, have the above characteristics of Life or one has to see to it that they grow in them and the only way to do that is through accepting the Lord Jesus Christ wholly, Spending more time reading the word, Allowing the Holy Spirit to Guide us in our day to day lives.
When we choose life we are saying that we love and obey God: Which is not man’s power but God’s Spirit works it in his elect. Who is always there helping us choose all the right things that have life, then we have chosen the Blessings of God and they will overtake us and our descendants and will live a joyous, long, and satisfied life SOTERIA. (Nothing Broken, Nothing missing).
GOD BLESS!
NOW YOU CAN!
JOHN 8:21
“THEN JESUS SAID TO THEM AGAIN, AM GOING AWAY AND YOU WILL SEEK ME AND WILL DIE IN YOUR SINS. WHERE I GO YOU CANNOT COME”.
In the first instance, we see Jesus speaking to the Pharisees again; meaning that either He had been speaking to them and had to do it again or He had spoken to them before about the same matter. But they came back to continue tricking Him so that He could fall for their trap of Blasphemy.
Am going away; Jesus spoke in Parables and when He said that phrase, everybody including the Jews wondered what he meant because they didn’t keep a keen ear to what he had been saying. Earlier we see in John 6:51 we note Jesus hinting on the same topic, “am the living bread which came down from heavens, anyone who eats of it lives forever. And the bread I shall give is my flesh which I shall give for the life of the world”.
Jesus goes on to say and you will seek me and you will die in your sin; because these people had hardened their hearts after he had been teaching in Verse 12, “Am the light of the world he who follows me shall not walk in the darkness but has the light of life”. For us to find him when we seek Him we first have to follow Him, who removed our sins by the shading of His blood.
“WHERE I GO YOU CANNOT COME” Instead of Favor, friendship, Blessing and the life of God, from heaven, man had nothing to look for except wrath, curse death and perdition. He could think of God only with fear and terror; with out hope, without love .Sin never ceased to call for vengeance, guilt had to be dealt with in full, and Jesus was the Perfect sacrifice and God says that nothing less than the Blood of God’s own son could bring about Reconciliation, Removal of sin; Righteousness demanded it and Love offered it. The Word became Flesh, Peace is restored, A change has taken place as a real widespread. Righteousness of God no longer terrifies man but meets Him as a friend with an offer of complete Justification. God’s countenance beams with Pleasure and approval as the penitent sinner draws near t Him and invites Him to intimate fellowship. When Jesus came on the cross No man could do it , not even the Angels were qualified to come on the earth and shed blood for the forgiveness of our sins.
Jesus says you can not come, because He had to pave the way for us then but NOW YOU CAN I CAN/ WE CAN. John14:12 says “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to my father”. This is a big promise and we must take Jesus at His word and demand that promise if we are Faithfull and with the Help of the Holy Spirit.
I encourage you this day, YOU CAN! Do all things with Christ who gives us strength. Because you are the righteous of God, The Elect (chosen), the Redeemed, A child and therefore All things pertaining to His will you can do and you are entitled to them, Change your perception, look at your self as a winner and no matter what happens around you don’t look at it keep your eyes focused on God the father because its from Him where all our help comes from. All you need to do is to create a good relationship with Him; know Him, His will and all will be well.
AGAPE!
HE IS THERE
PSALMS 139:7
“WHERE CAN I GO FROM YOUR SPIRIT ? OR WHERE CAN I FLEE FROM YOUR PRESENCE? IF I ASCEND INTO HEAVEN, YOU ARE THERE; IF I MAKE MY BED IN HELL, BEHOLD YOU ARE THERE”
David wrote the book of Psalms and in this chapter we see that He had Devine revelation, spiritual understanding and knowledge of who God was and what He was capable of He sought Him with such wisdom, worshiped and praised Him in spirit and in truth; This being one of the reasons why God refers to him as a man after His own heart.
“O Lord you have searched me and known me, you know my sitting down and my rising up; you understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path & my lying down. And are acquainted with all my ways; But behold you know it all together. You have hedged me behind and before, and laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;” David sought the Lord with all His heart, Meditated on the word, Praised and worshiped the Lord most of His time and He knew completely that the Lord was always there with Him.
David made a choice to invite God into His life and he made Him the center of his life and he was certain that God was always there for Him in all things even when he was in the fields as a shepherd. In the next verses he (David) goes on to say that ‘even before we were born, He formed our inward parts; He covered us in our mother’s womb, we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
You are so special to God and that’s why He created you with such fear and love so that He did not make any mistake therefore wonderful and all this was because He has a purpose for you. You are not a mistake, Without you something is incomplete, You are not ugly but just the perfect person God wanted to create because there is only one you and only you can accomplish that purpose that you were created for.
It may seem as though sometimes He is not there, since it feels that way but its not about the feelings its about the truth of the Bible and it says so and His son Jesus Christ came and confirmed it, I will never leave you nor forsake you.
When we choose God He is always there, all we need do is speak Him and He will answer. I have made Him my closest friend and when I need someone to speak to I run to him because I know He is there; He can never let me down; He will not Judge me; A phone will not ring and He has to go and attend to His problems first; I wont hear about what I told Him from someone else; His advice is perfect and not biased; Anytime any where He is available; He is listening and wont even interrupt me when still talking; When am done talking I listen to what He has to say.
Oh how I love Jesus! Because He first loved me and when I think about where He has brought me from I stand in awe of Him; To serve Him with My all, to love others like He loved me and being there for them like He is for me.
Love You in Jesus’ name.
DEALING WITH DISAPPOINTMENT
MATTHEWS 6:27.
“WHICH OF YOU BY WORRYING CAN ADD ONE CUBIT TO HIS STATURE”.
We all make plans, set aims and goals and have dreams. We are uncertain whether our plans will succeed or fail so our attempts may end p in Glorious Victory or frustrating defeat. And that’s the nature of Life. Because of this it is important to learn how to deal with disappointment. The word Disappointment means torn apart from our expected appointment, dissatisfaction, separate, or a feeling of anguish with fate.
I have been disappointed before by friends, Families, Life, leaders, myself and at some point in time felt I was disappointed in God; am very sure that’s not a good place to be. Many of us like me always surround disappointment with negativity but I have come to realize that disappointment does not exist in the real world because it’s only in our mind and in Proverbs23:7 says “For as a man thinks, so is he”. It is not the event but our interpretation is that causes pain.
Disappointment can be good and with the right attitude we can lessen the negative effects of it. Martin Luther King Jr said “We must accept disappointment, but never accept infinite hope” No matter how careful or positive we are, we bound to experience grief , suffering, pain, fear and anxiety for they are part of life. We cannot count on suffering but can count on the Joy of our God for it is our strength in times of trouble.
When we invite Jesus Christ into our lives as our lord and personal Savoir, seek a closer relationship with Him dwell in the secret place of the most high Psalms 91:15 says I paraphrase “When we call upon Him He shall answer; He will be with us in times of trouble; He will deliver us and honor us” He didn’t say there will be no trouble, but He said He will be with us During that time.
Most times we look at the in ward yet we are supposed to look at the out ward and the reverse is true, take an example if you are disappointed by a friend don’t look at the out word that is the body (conduct) but rather their inward, you could say their hearts or spirit. Because they are more than the body that is spirit which is of God? Whenever things go wrong we should analyze the situation and see what you can learn from it and move on. When we constantly run in to hurdles when pursuing a long term goal, we should always remember there is no failure until we give up.
Like me I know some of you have been disappointed in God, for not doing/answering our prayers in our timing, Yet we know very well that our timing is not God’s timing and that every thing has its time and when God’s time comes He hastens everything and He makes it good. We have to ask our selves whether what we are asking for from God is His will or our will? Whether what we are asking for is going to give his name glory or going to help us dig our own grave. Here Patience has always worked for me and having child like faith and trust in the Lord. Luke18:17 “Assuredly I say to you that whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will by no means enter it” Let me use an illustration of my daughter, sshe asked for a ring as a gift and she has been telling me this for some time now and I have been promising her the ring but even if she has taken long without getting her Ring she keeps reminding me or the father and every time she reminds us its with love, joy, hope and politeness.
This taught me a lot of things that I have /had to check my self, when it comes to asking God something and it doesn’t happen in the time I wanted it. I have learnt to say even if He hasn’t provided it He is still God and I will Worship and give Him praise anyway. I have sought the Lord read His word and now under stand His will so now when I ask I know it is His will for my life and it will happen,
The Bible continues to say come to me all who are weary, torn and heavy laden and I will give you rest, A closer relationship with God; Spending more time His son Jesus Christ will strengthen us and teach us how to press on, press through and be courageous no matter what comes our way and that will help us see less impact when it comes to disappointment.
In Job3:25 say “For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me” when we have fear we invite/ create a breeding ground for the devil’s plots for fear is not of God But Love is and in John4:18 “there is no fear in Love but Perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment”. When we learn how to love unconditionally just like Christ Loved us all the fear will be gone and disappointment will be defeated.
SOTERIA!
SALVATION!!
At some point in life every body needs salvation or the ‘S’ work, this is SALVATION from different things, To some, its from their own self, financial distress, ignorance, depression, mind set up, economic problems, from death and the list is endless
SALVATION is, liberation from, something, such as suffering or the punishment of wrong, also called deliverance. Am interest in one kind of SALVATION and that is the participating in theReign of God also known as redemption; or social liberation and healing, which
is so powerfull because in the Longrun or short run depending on what you are willing to do, will lead to Salvation from everything, cliché “killing two/many birds with one stone”.
The Salvation from death that made God give up His one and only son so that we could have eternal Life. Life afterdeath”. When we die we shall have to live again once we take up Christ’s offer of believing him and confess Him with our mouth that He is Lord of our Lives. Thereafter work out our Salvation with fear.
What must we do to be saved?: "Peter replied, 'Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit'" (Acts 2:38).
Saved by God's grace, not by works: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9) "He saved(s) us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved(s) us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life (Titus 3:5-7)
Must be born again: "Jesus replied, 'Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born again…Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit'" (John 3:3-5)
(2Samuel 23:6) “But all of the ungodly shall be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can’t be taken with land”. When we put God aside it means we are doing our own things thereefore ungodly so we will be thrust away. Imagine if we are godly!!!!
(Isaiah 59:1) “Behold Yahweh’s hand is not shortened, that it cant save; neither his ear heavy, that it cant hear; all we need to do here is invite Jesus Christ into our lives as Lord because that’s the passport to God, Jesus said “Iam the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father except through me. Then call on him in any situation with all patience and He will come just in the perfect time.
(1Samuel 12:21); don’t turn aside: for then you would go after vain things which cant profit nor deliver, for they are vain”. (Jeremiah 7:8); “Behold you trust in lying words, that cant profit”. (2 chronicles 24:20); The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people and said to them, Thus says God, why do you disobey the Commandments of Yahweh, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken Yahweh He has also forsaken you.
With God on our side, Moses received instructions (Numbers 23:20); Behold, I have received a command to Bless; He Blessed, and I cannot reverse it. Your Blessing has your name on it , do something to gain it and no one will ever reverse it, you will be saved for ever.
(Psalms 33:18-22) “Behold the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy, to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in femine. Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield, for our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His Holy name, Let your mercy O’Lord be upon us, just as we hope in you.
(Deutronomy 33:11), “ Bless His substance, Lord accept the work of His hands; strike the lions of those who rise against Him, And of those who rise against Him, And of those who hate him, that they rise not again” Amen to this scripture. In Christ jesus he Blesses our substance accepts the work of our hands, so, we have to have some thing to show Him that we have done, then there we can ask Him to Bless it. He will strike the Lions that rise against us; we all have different lions, to some its addictions of some kind, some financial distress and others selfishness, but this scripture says that all that is against us, God strikes because He is for us. All those who hate us/you/me/ shall not rise again.
AMEN
MERRY~CHRISTMAS~&~HAPPY~NEW~YEAR!!
LUKE 2:11, “FOR THERE IS BORN TO YOU THIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHO IS CHRIST THE LORD”.
VERSE 14” GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST, AND TO EARTH PEACE GOODWILL TO WARD MEN!”
The platform of His own blood that He shed from Earth to Glory, Came in this Earth by the way of a barn, born out in a manger, Went out of the Earth through capital punishment, the earth didn’t want Him, Heaven couldn’t receive him because he was a sinner, He had our sins upon Him, The earth rejected Him, Away from such person! He had no place to be born or a place to die. And He hung between heaven and earth; he died anyhow to save us from sin, to heal our sickness, to give us joy and a lovely stay while we were here on earth. What a man? What a saviour? What degree of Love? What a redeemer?
Oh how I thank God for Jesus, Oh how I love Jesus for He first loved me!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Remember Jesus Love you just the way you are and "YOU CAN" do all things through Christ who strengthens you and guides you. Go to the world and make a difference, be the light and the salt.
Have a fabulous Christmas and a prosperous 2009 with Love!!!!!

Jesus can save ANYBODY
(regardless of what you have done)
Many people are under the wrong impression that Christians are people who have grown up in church and "Leave it to Beaver" homes. That is a lie from Satan. Before we became Christians we were educated fools, whoremongers, high school drop-outs, drug dealers, crack heads, theives, liars, atheists, PhDs, blasphemers, lovers of our own selves, adulterers, drunkards, cussers and anything else that is evil. Peter lays it out in I Peter 4:3-4:
“For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when WE walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries...” BECAUSE NOW I KNOW JESUS. I'm here to tell you that God is in the clean-up business. He says in Isaiah 1:18:
"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." He cleans you up? With blood. The blood of Jesus that was shed on Calvary's cross almost 2,000 years ago for your sins.
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 If you are: sick of living for nothing but yourself, sick of the folly of chasing education, sick of feeling empty; and, sick of trying to depend on yourself,
You need to REPENT of your sins. Tell Jesus that you realize that you are a sinner and you're sick of living without Him. Tell Jesus that you want Him to be your Lord/Master and your Saviour from sin. Tell Jesus that you believe that He died on the cross for your sins and that He rose from the dead on the third day. Ask Him to save your soul from hell and give you that peace that surpasses all understanding. If you do this in faith, you will become a child of God. Christ Jesus will take you and love you up and transform you into an entirely new person if you let Him. The Bible says "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away, behold, ALL things are become new."2Corinthians 5:17 I am a living testimony to this fact--and I know lots of other people just like me. Jesus is still savin' today, His blood will never lose its power.
Jesus cleaned me up and He is the sole reason why I do what I do. Without Him, I'd still be DEAD in trespasses and sins. But, glory to God, I'm ALIVE in Jesus Christ. I still sin, but NO WHERE NEAR WHAT I USED TO. With the help of the Holy Spirit I avoid sin but when I do sin, I ask for forgiveness in accordance with I John 1:9. God told Christians in His word, "Be ye holy, for I am holy." We are to take His commandment seriously and live the way Christ would.

VICTORY IN CHRIST JESUS.
(PSALM 36:5). “Your mercy O’ Lord is in the heavens; Your Faithfulness reaches to the clouds; Your righteousness is like the great mountain”. The mercy of the Lord is always there for us whenever we need Him, call on His name and repent, He forgives us and the Blood of Jesus is able to wash away all sins even the scarlet ones. He is always Faithful to the Faithful and His righteousness is for all those who confess Him as Lord and invite Him into there lives. This is the beginning of our VICTORY.
(PSALMS 34:10) “The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing”. This is a promise and David was giving his testimony, he sought the Lord and from looking after His Father’s sheep He became king, that is powerful from nothing to a big thing. Seek the Lord while he can still be found, seek Him in the deeper waters and you will see the goodness of the Lord. VICTORY
(LUKE 1:49). “For He who is mighty has done great things for me and Holy is His name”. When we seek Him wholeheartedly we get to know Him and His will and understand the intensity and strength of His word, that is a close relationship and this makes Him to even provide for us before we ask.
(1JOHN5:4-5). “Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world, And this is the VICTORY that has overcome the world our Faith. Who is He who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.”
(2CORINTHIANS 2:14) “Now thanks be to God who ALWAYS leads us in TRIUMPH in Christ and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place”. Yes thanks be to our God so loved us.
(Philippians 4:13) “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. Our own strength is in vain, when you believe in Jesus you come to understand that it’s not by might nor power but by the Spirit of God. Our own strength tends to wear off and it even speaks to us sometimes saying no you can’t do that its for the men, you are not clever enough. Now we know we can do all things because Christ. There we are on our way to VICTORY.
(HEBREWS 11:6) But without Faith it is impossible to please God, For He who comes to God must believe that he is and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him”. Sometimes our feelings get to us and we make decisions depending on them and not the truth of the Word of God, You have to keep your cool in all situations and this is achievable by reading the word regularly, meditating on it and making it a part of your life, Its food to the soul, Spirit, so feed it like you do feed the body and your Faith will grow and through all of this you will have sought the Lord, His rewards lead to VICTORY.
(JOHN 6:37) “All that the Father gives me will come to me and the one who comes to me will by no means be cast out”.
Christ being the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. When we make a decision to accept Jesus as Lord of our lives, we take on Righteousness that is done by Faith. The Life of Victory starts in Christ’s Righteousness and carries on with it. Faith connects us to a lot of things that in the end lead to VICTORY.
(ACTS 1:8) “Ye shall receive, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you” the disciples received the gift of talking in new tongues when the Holy Ghost came upon them and with these tongues they spoke directly to God
(HEBREWS 7:25); “Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him since He always lives to make intercession for them”. Jesus is seated on the right hand of the Father and interceding for us. He is able to save anyone who comes to the father through Him and that is by the price H paid on the cross over 2000 years ago. This Salvation we all need to get our VICTORY.
(PHILLIPIANS 1:6) “Being confident of the very thing, that He who began a good work in you will complete it until that day of Jesus Christ”. For one to know something about anything we must be informed learned about that particular thing, researched about it, so that when we are asked about it we are Confident in our answering. We must know God for us to be able to be confident in the very thing that since He began a good work in us will complete it; He who began the good change in your life will lead you to VICTORY.
(HEBREWS 12:1-2) “ Let us lay aside every weight and the sin which cloth so easily beset us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our Faith”. The word of God is so real and in Hebrews it say it is sharper than any two edged sword, The race that is before us is not easy but like Jesus said (para’)“My York is light”, He helps us all the when and He invites us saying come to me all who are weary, and I will give you rest, In our weakness His strength is made perfect, We should indeed lay aside every weight because we know that He is with us and he keeps renewing our strength so we can sow like eagles. Patiently running, not weavering .
The key thing for us to be Victorious is Faith and it has to be fed with the word of God. Life is about doing (action), when we receive, it is best that we also give, After feeding on God’s word it is right for us to go to Him presenting ourselves to Him through prayer making our hearts know to him, establishing a good relationship with him.
(JOHN 16:33 )These things I have spoken to you that in me you may have peace in the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. Lots of people today are living with lots of anxieties and a dose of some peace would be the biggest gift ever, Now Jesus says that All that He spoke was that we may have peace even in the midst of tribulation.
If you have love for God, His word cannot stay inside your heart you will always have the need to let it out to others and this will open up Gods blessings into your life.
Most of what we go through starts Spiritually and then it will manifest in the physical, same is VICTORY, it starts in the Spiritual realm then as we offer ourselves unto Christ seeking Him truthfully it comes into our mind, hearts then you start confessing it then it manifests, and the biggest help is Faith working through Love.
VICTORY IS YOURS TODAY!!
WALKING IN THE LIGHT
(JOHN 1:4), In Him was life and was the light of men, And the light in the darkness and darkness did not comprehend it
In Jesus there is life and He is the light of men but the men have to invite Him into their lives, pursue a close relationship with Him then He is able to give the light out.
David was a man after God’s own heart and God Himself Approved, We all know what kind of man David was Despite of His Failures He still trusted God praised and worshipped God, sought Him day and night, His Faith was so grown with no single bit of doubt he knew who he was serving who was in Him and from Him we see Him saying in (PSALM 119:105), your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light in my path.
In (JOHN 1:6), There was a man sent by God whose name was John the Baptist, This man came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through Him ye might believe. He was not that light, but was preaching about the true light giver to every one coming into the world.
When we pursue a relationship with Jesus Christ the Son of God we not only have life but light and what does the light do? It helps us see where we are going so that we don’t stumble on stones, so we don’t fall in ditches, walk into walls., you name it.
(JOHN 12:35), Then Jesus said to them. “Alittle while longer the light is with you ,wait while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; He who walks in darkness does not know where he is going; while you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.”
In the world today life now seems so uncertain, but I can assure you one thing, that once you have Jesus in your life and have a close relationship with Him and acknowledge Him as your light, you will always be certain because you can see, since you have Him who sees all and everywhere.
(JOHN 8:12), As Jesus was speaking to the people He said “ Iam the light of the world, he who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of Life”
(ISAIAH 60:1), Arise and shine; `For Your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.” this is one of my favourite scriptures, my prayer and confession over my life and am sure what it says and what am confessing will come upon me some day as long as I keep feeding on the word of God each day.
After seeking the Lord, this is not easy and it just doesn’t come instantaneously because you have to sacrifice food by fasting, some hours in prayer everyday, reading the word of God (Bible) like it were food its self, serving faithfully, generally dying to self, but the reward is great and its all worth it,
(PROVERBS 13:9), The light of the righteous rejoices but the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
(EPHESIAN 5:8) For you were once darkness but now you are light in the Lord. Was as children of light for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness righteousness and truthfulness.
(JOHN 3:20), For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest His deeds should be exposed.
(MATTHEW 5:14), You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cant be hidden.
When we walk in the light we are certain that were we are going is safe because we can see, Nobody steals in the light or kills the other, cant say the same when its dark. The light brings out the best in everybody, a mood to celebrate, to smile, to talk and do all good things,
There is alight that is more than what we see and His name is Jesus when we invite him into our lives, we are saying that we need help from Him and since He is the light of the world He transforms our inside and we develop a need to do good with the help of the Holy Spirit and reading the word of God constantly.
GO OUT THERE AND BE THE LIGHT AND LET NATIONS BE DROWN TO YOU!
PATIENTLY WAITING
HEBREWS 12:1
Therefore we also since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, Let us lay aside every weight & the sin which so easily ensnares us and let us run with patience /endurance the race that is set before us.
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Each one of us has a destiny and we all have to run it when we make the decision to, the race is not about winning but about crossing the finish line, its not about opponents (the person next to you) but about who you are running too.
Patience works in two ways and being patient doesn’t mean being still or not doing anything. Its not about waiting the longest but how we wait and what we do while waiting
Patience is one’s attitude on the inside; you can call it faith, which latter reflects on the outside through actions or works.
I say patience is being constant, steady, and calm when we are attacked or faced by challenge. Patience is grown just like Faith and reading the word of God meditating on it, which gives us ways to fight with no destructions.
I encourage you today, don’t give up, don’t look back at whose is following or who is over taking you, this is not about them it is about you and what is set before you, so run even when you feel tired run when weary run, heavy laden run, finish your race and take your crown. Where you are going there is rest, peace love and joy oh isn’t it better for you tro go through all that but knowing you have the whole of eternity waiting to welcome you?
IT’S RAINING
The earth feels old tonight
And we who live and stand on the cold rim
Face a new year, a new season and a new day
It is raining everywhere, to wash away all that is and was old.
It is raining in the Physical and in the Spiritual
I can smell the freshness of the air, the scent of the ground
A new hope, it brings;
As though we are being dressed in new garments of righteousness
As though the rain were mercy,
As though the rain were peace and Joy
As though the rain was Love
Love, Peace, peace, mercy and joy falling on our hair.
How long has it been, since I embraced this freshness, a sense of hope.
Open your hearts tonight and listen, let them burn!
Let them light in the dark, even to those near and afar from you.
Let them light in the dark that even the lost may see
Let them one by one affirm there is hope for a staff:
Indeed there is Hope in the light, Jesus Christ
I say it will flower in our hands,
And Draw nations to us
We shall go garlanded.
There is the fine fresh stuff of faith in Christ Jesus
We shall go warm.
We shall go on by the light of our hearts.
We shall burn mightily to share with others,
In the New Year, the new day, the new season that all God’s promises will pass.
We shall go on together.
Christ being our Connector, the common factor
O you who stand alone on the rim of the earth and are cold,
Come to the Lord, come lets stand under the rain of mercy, love, hope, love, healing and of the Word of God.
To feel it on our hair, skin, and the word on the inside of our hearts.
Spirit Soul and body all aligned with his word.
TO LOVE AND TO SERVE.
DO I KNOW YOU!
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
>Do I know you? Do I really know you?
Yes I know you; you are the Son of God
You came & died on the Cross for me
For love you gave it all that I may have life eternally;
>Do I know you? Do I really know you?
Yes I know you are the Solid Rock
The Rock on which I stand and the centre of my focus;
Mine and the cornerstone of the universal Church;
You who loved me with such indescribable love
>Do I know you? Do I really know you?
You performed the greatest miracles
You are omnipresent, Omnipotent & Omniscience
You are Lord & you reign forever more?
>Do I know you? Do I really know you?
You are love, spoke about love and commanded us to go and speak love to the world.
I might know you and what you did, what you are capable of doing, but do I really know you?
I describe you, what you did and what I have heard people say about you but do I really know you?
I go to church every Sunday, go for fellowships, but do I really know you?
To know you is to make you known
To know you is to Love unconditional;
To know you is to Trust in you unconditional
To know you is to be obedient with love, Faithful with Love, Hopeful with Love and Believing with Love
Do I know you? Do I really know you?
GOD BLESS
MAGNIFY THE LORD
LUKE 1:47-55
“My soul magnifies the Lord. And my spirit has rejoiced in God my saviour. For he has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; for behold, henceforth all generation will call me blessed. For He who is mighty has done great things for me, And Holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation. He has scattered the Proud in the imagination of their hearts. He has put down the mighty from their thrones, And exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has helped His servant Israel. In remembrance of His mercy, as He spoke to our fathers, To Abraham & to his seed forever.”
The soul starts to magnify and the spirit rejoice in the Lord when it has understanding of the word, its intensity, say the truth in there, Hebrews says (para) The Word of God is sharper than any two edged sword to the piercing until it divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow, as it judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart. Jeremiah 23:29 Is not My word like fire?" declares the LORD, "and like a hammer which shatters a rock. And when our spirit & soul registers how powerful the word of God s and gets revelation we start to rejoice in the Lord nomatter the situation, His favour comes upon you and everyone starts to call you Blessed, His mercy upon you cos you start seeking Him.
Seek and you shall find with all the hunger for Him he fills us with good things not only those to satisfy the body but also the soul & spirit.
We are Abraham’s seed & with fearing God all the promises to Abraham will come to be His seed forever and that is us.
Rejoice for the Lord is good.
I run my life on a "choose to, want to, love to and have to basis.
I am personally accountable for what I am, what I do and what I will become.
I am unique, self directed and wholly accountable and allow others the same right.
Choose a job that Christ has called you to do, and you will never have to work aday in your life.
Choose to serve others, and you will be served.
Choose to love and you will be loved back.
Choose to give and you will be given back much more
For us to be able to choose wisely we have to put in mind the following concepts;
> We have to bring to subjection our thoughts (mind) which always interferes with rational thought or action.
>Be watchful of what you listen to other than the truth of the word of God because it will interfefere with your progress
>Now that you have the Authority that was given to you through Christ and understand that fear is of the Devil.
Most of all Read the word of God each and every day, meditate on the word day & night JOSHUA 1:8.
LOVE YOU.

THE PROMISE!!
We have the will of God at our disposal and it is there for us to recieve and enjoy all the goodness of it.
"If may people which are called by my name shall humble themselves and Pray and Seek My Face and turn from thier wicked ways ;then i will hear from heaven, and will forgive thier sins, and will heal thier land." 2 CHRONICLES 7:14.
That chapter and verse of the bible is a 'very big promise' that can change the whole negativity that is going on in the world today, and this will take for a few people to have the revelation and spread it, and as it goes on before we know it will all be better.
It says "If My people" meaning we have a choice to either choose God's will or to choose according to the circumstances around us. It says we are his people called by His name and he say if we humble ourselves and pray and seek His face and turn from all wicked ways; then He will hear from heaven, and He will forgive our sins, and heal our land from this whole recession, unemployment, depression,hatred,diseases, poverty, stress and the rest.
Join us and invite more people and tell them about what God can do about the situation at hand if they are willing to seek him, and live for Him, HE WILL HEAL OUR LAND. Guys let us stand for change through Christ Our Lord, to humble ourselves, to Pray, seek His face deeper and turn away from all the wicked ways because it all in vain, I know most of us have tried it all but it is Vanity.
STAY STRONG IN CHRIST.
WE ARE WATCHMEN
woch'-man (tsopheh, shomer, metsappeh, notser):
Used to designate a sentinel on the city walls (2 Sam 18:25; 2 Ki 9:18; Ps 127:1; Isa62:6) or on the hilltops (Jer 31:6). Song 3:3; 5:7 introduces another class, "the watchmen that go about the city," and thus, it would seem, points to some system of municipal police.
The distinction in meaning between the various words is clear, TSOPHEH having the idea of "outlooker" and NOTSER that of "careful watcher" (being applied even to besiegers from outside: Jer 4:16, "watchers"), while SHOMER also embraces the idea of "defending" or "guarding." In Isa 21:6 METSAPPEH is to be taken generally in the sense of "watch." In Sirach 37:14 SKOPOS, means simply "looker."
If put together “Watchman” means looking out for, carefully watching over, defending or guarding, being a looker. In simple terms looking out for a friend, a person in need, a neighbour, workmate, family etc carefully watching over them, defending and guarding them and just being a looker who brings the good news of Christ to those he has seen need it.
We all qualified to be watchmen when Christ commanded us to go to he world and preach the gospel, heal the sick provide for the poor, help the needy and rise the dead. We all have the power and authority all we need is to be obedient and do just like He said.
Ezekiel 33:7 "Now as for you, son of man, I have appointed you a watchman for the house of Israel; so you will hear a message from My mouth and give them warning from Me.
Come-on Watchmen go to the world and tell them that there is a redeemer. The Almighty is the rewarder.
FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT.
GALATIANS 5: 22
“But the Spirit produces Love, Joy, Peace, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Humility, and self control. There is no law against such things as these”.
Praise the Lord Brethren! Each time I read this scripture I ask my self whether am growing in the Word, especially the fruits of the Spirit because without them its so difficult to Please, Move & Serve God and His people. I also realize that the Holy Spirit is equally important and that when we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of our lives He comes and sits on our inside Helping/Leading/Guiding us to the right path which is of Love, joy peace and others.
I challenge myself from time to time, whether am living a life with the fruits of the Spirit everyday or every minute that passes, wherever I go? Whether am still growing in the fruits of the Spirit?
We all know if you are not growing you are dying, One may say am stationary/constant but still at some point you have to make a decision whether to move forward or to go back.
So my question to you today is, ARE YOU LIVING A LIFE OF FRUITFULNESS OF FRUITLESSNESS OF THE FRIUTS OF THE SPIRIT?.
PRAYER:
Thank you Heavenly father for sending your son Jesus Christ to die for us, who later ascended to heaven so that the Helper may come and that was the Holy Spirit, Thank you for the Holy Spirit and all His fruit and that from today on I will live a life that testifies to the fruits, in Jesus’ name Amen.
BE HUMBLE
PROVERBS 15:32-33
If you refuse to learn, you are hurting yourself. If you accept correction, you will become wiser.
Reverence for the Lord is an education in its self. You must be humble before you can ever receive honors.
Whoever makes himself great will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be made great..
Oh perhaps you despise his great kindness, tolerance, and Patience. Surely you know that God is kind because he is trying to lead you to repent. But you have a stubborn heart, and so you are making your own punishment even greater on the day when God’s anger and righteous judgments will be revealed.
Happy are those who are humble; they will receive what God has promised.
Having humility, despite of status background, sex, gender, rich or poor, sick or healthy, We ought to be there for one another at all time with the Lord as our Strengthener, provider, director and protector.
Its not about how we feel at certain times, its about sticking to what the word of God says no matter what we are going through and take God at His word reminding him of what He said/promised He would do.
WATCHMEN BE HUMBLE.
