Remember – Who we are in Christ-Jesus

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
 
Greetings in Jesus Christ
 
Ephesians 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in ChristFor he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he[b] predestined us for adoption to sonship[c] through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
 
Praise God for his word. What a blessing and comfort we have in Jesus to know that we are blessed in Christ. God has blessed us in the Heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. God has empowered us with everything we need to live holy and blameless. But when we face trials, often we end up questioning our self, God or complaining God. Recently my daughter(6 Years old) was sick with bad stomach pain. In pain, she questioned ” Why did this happen to me” and “What did i do wrong”. We all had situations when we questioned knowingly or unknowingly
 
In James, it says “consider it pure Joy”
James 1:2-3
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and completenot lacking anything. 

No matter what you face each day, knowing and remembering that God has blessed you and empowered you will put praise song in your mouth and give you an attitude of an overcomer in Christ Jesus
Remembering the Truths and Praise GOD
1. Know that you are empowered with every spiritual blessing in Christ
2. Trails produce perseverance and make us mature and complete
 
Questions to Ponder
1. Who and what we are in Christ?
2. Whats our attitude towards trials?
 
James 1:5
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.  

God Bless.

Rich in Christ-Jesus

Dear all,

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16: 13 -14.

Word: 1 Timothy 6:17-19 (NASB)

Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.

Thought:  Be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share. Faith, service, and obedience are the way to become rich toward God.

Having, First, gained all you can, and, Secondly saved all you can, Then give all you can. – John Wesley

How is our attitude towards money? Be a good steward of God-given resources!

“Personal Evangelism “ – “One Person with God is a Majority”

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: 

And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. II Timothy 2: 2

Thought: “Personal Evangelism “ – “One Person with God is a Majority”

Personal evangelism plays a major role in making disciples for LORD Jesus Christ. The ministry is not something we get for ourselves and keep to ourselves. We are stewards of the spiritual treasure God has given us. It is our responsibility to guard the deposit and then invest in the lives of others. They, in turn, are to share the Word with the next generation of believers. – Adapted from Warren Wiersbe Bible commentary.

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?

Revival is an experience in the Church; Evangelism is an expression of the Church – Paul-S. Rees.

Confidence in the Flesh Vs Confidence in Christ Jesus

Dear all,

May God our Father and the LORD Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. Phil 1: 2

Word: Confidence in the Flesh Vs Confidence in Christ Jesus

Thought:

In John 15: 16 – Jesus said: “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.”

 Righteousness comes only from God, and we are made righteous by trusting in Christ Jesus. He exchanges our sins and shortcomings for his complete righteousness. Let us do some self-analysis before our LORD.

In Christ, we have everything we need for salvation and for living the Christian life. Thank God for what we have received in Christ Jesus.

Word: Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4: 16

Do you have confidence in Christ Jesus that His purposes are right? Do you believe God loves you and wants the best for you?
