Living the new life

Dearall,

Greetingsin the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Hope you are doingwell. Let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts.

Word: Living the new life

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, setyour hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Setyour minds on things above, not on earthly things. Col 3: 1-2

Thought:

Setting our sights on the realities of heaven meansstriving to put heaven’s priorities into daily practice.

For the pagans run after all these things, and yourheavenly Father knows that you need them. Butseek first his kingdom and hisrighteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Thereforedo not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day hasenough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:32-34

God loves us and wants us to lovehim.

“Let your light glow” – Like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden

Dear all,

Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and SaviorJesus Christ. Hope you are doing well.

Word:

When you weredead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive withChrist. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legalindebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, hemade a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Colossians2:13-15

Thought: Before we believed in Christ our nature was evil. Bornagain Christian has a new nature in Christ. God has crucified the old nature(Romans 6:6) and replaced and replaced it with a new loving nature (Colossians3: 9-10).

MayGod give you more and more grace and peace. 1 Peter 1:2

Word:

I planted the seed, Apollo’s watered it, but God has been making it grow.

For we are co-workers in God’sservice; you are God’s field, God’s building. 1Cor 3: 6-9

Christ Crucified Is God’s Power and Wisdom

Dear all,

Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Word: “Christ Crucified Is God’s Power and Wisdom”

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1Cor 1: 18

Thought:

In order to see God’s glory our spiritual eyes have to be opened by His power. Our role here is to sow the seeds, ‘the word of God’.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me….

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now, I see – John Henry Newton (July 24, 1725 – December 21, 1807

Fearfully and wonderfully made

Dear all,

Greetings in the mightyname of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Word:

Ipraise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My framewas not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woventogether in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all thedays ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! Howvast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber thegrains of sand —    when I awake, I amstill with you. Psalms 139: 14-18

Thought:

Nothing is morebeautiful than our Lord’s forethought!He was always thinking ahead and prepared ahead of the disciples. When He sentthem to prepare the Passover they were found an upper room furnished andprepared. His plans were not only for that day but eternal. He was always inadvance of time. He is waiting long before we are awake. His anticipations arealong all the way of life before you! – Streams in the desert by Mrs. CharlesE. Cowman

And if I go and prepare aplace for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may bewhere I am. John 14: 3

WATCH

Dear all,

MayGod give you more and more grace and peace. 1 Peter 1:2

Word:

If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I sayto everyone: ‘Watch!’” Mark 13:36-37

Humbleyourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in duetime. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemythe devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resisthim, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believersthroughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God ofall grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you havesuffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm andsteadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 5: 6-11

Each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it willbe revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one hasdone. 1 Corinthians 3: 13

Thought:

Whenwe see and stand before Him, we will give an account as to whether or not welived in ways that were consistent with His will. God is searching for faithfuland obedient people to accomplish His will in this world.

Loving Father, thank you for theHoly Spirit,

Fill our hearts with His love andempower us with mighty power;

Change our hearts into Christ’s ownimage

Day by day and hour by hour andmoment by moment. – Anon

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven,with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet callof God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are stillalive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meetthe Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 1 Thessalonians4:16-17

What opportunities do we have?

Dear all,

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. As we are learning Proverbs, let us continue to apply in our day today life.

Word:

The heart of Godly thinks before speaking; the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words.   Proverb 15: 28

Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. Col 4: 5 – 6.

Thought:

We should be wise in our contacts with nonbelievers, making the most of our opportunities to share the good news of Lord Jesus Christ. We are the people responsible to share His love to our circle of nonbelievers. If not we, then who will?

What opportunities do we have?

Stand firm in Christ
