Let us prepare to meet our LORD Jesus and prepare others too

Dear all,
May God our Father and the LORD Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. Phil 1: 2
Word: The Parable of the Ten Virgins
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2025:1-13
10
Thought: Jesus told this parable to clarify further what it means to be ready for his return and how to live until he comes. We are taught that every person is responsible for his or her own spiritual condition.
Let us prepare to meet our LORD Jesus and prepare others too. Are we existing for the Kingdom’s sake by living a Christ centered exemplary life?

Have a Victorious walk in Christ

The cure for the complaining spirit

Dear all,

May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. II Peter 1: 2

Word: The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+20:1-16

Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’ “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”

Thought: The cure for the complaining spirit is the discipline of noticing the goodness of God in our lives. We need to learn how to pay attention, to slow down and see what God has done and is doing all around us. Let us be more thankful to God for who He is and how he has chosen us when we were away from Him.

When we started to count our blessings in Christ Jesus, positively we will see the glory of God in our day to day life by living a Christ centered well balanced life.

‘God’s deep secrets’ refers to God’s unfathomable nature and his wonderful plan

Dear all,

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

Word: However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” the things God has prepared for those who love him. These are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.1 Corinthians 2:9 -10
04
Thought: ‘God’s deep secrets’ refers to God’s unfathomable nature and his wonderful plan – Jesus’ birth, death and resurection and to the promise of salvation, revealed only to those who believe that what God says is true. Be brave. God never forgets His people. He is good at all time. God’s eyes are watching over us. We cannot hide anything from Him.

Abiding life in Christ Jesus

Dear all,
Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Word: “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15: 5

Thought: Abiding life in Christ Jesus: Receive and Remain in Him – To be used by God mightily for His Kingdom, He is expecting only one thing from us. It is 100% absolute submission of our heart to carry out His will to bring a total deliverance. Moreover, trust in him and rely up on him and be empowered by the power of Holy Spirit. So that, the anointment will give us the ability to carry out God’s ministry according to His master plan.

God’s clock doesn’t function like man’s clock . Yes..

Dear all,
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of Holy Spirit. Romans 15: 13
Word of God:
Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell. Psalms 43: 3
Keep your conscience clear. 1 Peter 3: 16
You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance. The grasslands of the wilderness overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness. The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing. Psalms 65: 11-13
Picture 23
Couple of thoughts:
· God’s clock doesn’t function like man’s clock.

· Never under estimate the resurrected power of Christ Jesus in you. Retain the promises of God in your consciousness. This will give the strength to overcome every difficulty you are facing in this faith journey.

· Be brave in Christ Jesus. Ask God to fill your heart with the confidence in Christ Jesus.

· How often do we pour out our heart to God? How often do you give him a specific request to answer?

· True faith in Christ Jesus transforms our conduct, attitude, character, speech pattern, motives and actions.

· Motives are just as important as actions.

· Quiet convictions often earn long term respect.

· God’s opinion is important.

· Remembering God’s faithfulness is worth a pause for reflection.

· When God forgives our sins He totally forgets them.

· Don’t stop trusting God just as you are ready to reach your goal.

· Be corrected by God and become who God intended. Train your tongue to speak well!

· Are you a fan or follower? No matter what the cost, let us follow the foot prints of Jesus.

Are we caught up with materialism? Who/what is ruling our hearts?

Dear Friends in Christ,

Wish you all a Christ centered Christmas. Remember Christ Jesus is the reason for this season!

Word:

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. Luke 21: 33-34

Thought: Are we caught up with materialism? Who/what is ruling our hearts?

If we replace Christ with anything else that becomes idol worship.

Our role model is Christ and He lived a humble and holy life. Do we have humbleness in our hearts?

Today is the day of Salvation. Turn to Jesus and He will change our hearts.

Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a blessed new-year 2016.
Be strong and glad!

Be part of God’s sovereign plan

Dear all,

May God bless you and keep you in His presence and His peace during this Christmas season and years to come.

Word:

But you, Bethlehem Ephrata, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from ancient times. Micah: 5 : 2
CROSS

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Thought:

In order to magnify the glory of his own mercy God has chosen the little town of Bethlehem, Joseph, Mary, Shepherds and Wise-man to be part of His sovereign plan.

Wish you all a merry Christmas.

Have you ever considered how one generation carries the Gospel of Christ Jesus to the next generation?

Dear all,
Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10
Word:
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

Baton - Passing
Thought:
Have you ever considered how one generation carries the Gospel of Christ Jesus to the next generation? Have you ever wondered what would happen to the Gospel of Christ Jesus if one generation failed to pass it on?
One brother, Andrew, led another brother called Peter to Christ (John 1:39-42); and Peter brought multitudes !!!

Pass it On!

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
Thought for the week:
2 Corinthians 2:14
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.
