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 the Holy Spirit. Romans 15: 13
Word:
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12: 1-2 (ESV)Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2 (ESV)
Thought:
Worship should be practiced consistently and it brings the presence of God. Submitting ourselves to the LORD is the key to proper worship. We are in the World, but we shouldn’t do as the world does! How is our day-to-day life? Are we practicing the presence of God and making wise decisions at every step?  To live an effective and moral Christian life, we must keep our eyes on Christ Jesus. Run in such a way to get the prize and run with the purpose in every step. The essential disciplines of prayer, the Word of God through reading the Bible, worship, and living as a witness equip us to run with focus and with full strength.

Not Loving the World

Leave a reply

Dear all, 

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. Gal1: 3-5

Word: On Not Loving the World I John 2: 15-17 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

Thought: The more we are captivated by this world and its attractions, the harder it will be to seek God. The best way to avoid entanglement with worldly values is to “feed” our spirits by seeking God through Christ-centered prayers and meditation on His Word. 

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?
Our role is to think biblically and live accordingly!

Do not give the devil a foothold!

Dear all,

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

Word: For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings. Hosea 6: 6 

Thought:  The way we treat others, act kindly towards others, and forgive those who have hurt us proves that we are growing in spiritual maturity. When our worship is sincere, it will always be manifested in our compassion for others.
Memory verse: Ephesians 4: 27 – Do not give the devil a foothold! 

Reconciliation!

Dear all,

May God give you more and more grace and peace.

Word: So we are Christ’s ambassadors, God is making His appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we “Come back to God”. II Corinthians 5: 20

Thought:  As believers of Christ Jesus, we are Christ’s ambassadors, sent with His message of reconciliation to the world.

How well are we fulfilling our commission as Christ’s ambassadors?

What is God’s purpose on Earth?

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 the Holy Spirit. Romans 15: 13

Word: Gen 1: 27 says “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”

Thought: What is God’s purpose on Earth?

We are God’s image bearers. We are the aroma of Christ Jesus wherever he leads us. When we hold God’s hand we might leave it, but if He holds our hand He will not leave. This is the successful history of our forefathers those who walked humbly with Him on this Earth.

Pass the Legacy On to the upcoming generations!

Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Word: But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. I Peter 2: 9-10

Thought: True Identity in Christ Jesus and a relationship with God empowered by the power of the Holy Spirit is far more important and vital than our jobs, successes, wealth, or knowledge. Remember – We are the ambassador for God’s Kingdom, light and salt. Our value comes from being one of God’s children not from what we can achieve. We have worth because of what God does not because of what we do!
God sent us the Savior to seek and save those who are lost.

Our conduct should reflect our new allegiance.

“When we have the Aroma of Christ Jesus, we cannot hide it”.

 Let there be light | Light in the Darkness

Dear all,

Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10

Word: The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more; the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end. Isaiah 60: 19-20

Thought: Let there be light | Light in the darkness | God sent us the light of the world Jesus Christ to show His light to those who were in darkness. God sent us the Savior to seek and save those who are lost.

Do you put God’s Word into action what you have studied?

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 the Holy Spirit. Romans 15: 13

Word: – Listening and Doing

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. James 1:19-21

Thought:

It is important to listen to what God’s Word says, but it is much more important to obey it and to do what it says, We can measure the effectiveness of our Bible Study time by the effect it has on our behavior and attitudes. The secret of Spiritual growth is a strong commitment to right belief!

Run with Endurance

Dear all,

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

Word:

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2 (ESV)

Thought: As a disciple of Christ we are running toward our Heavenly reward. To live effectively, we must keep our eyes on Christ Jesus. Run in such a way to get the prize and run with the purpose in every step. We must have a purpose and a plan (1 Cor 9: 24-27). The essential disciplines of prayer, Bible study, and worship equip us to run with vigor and stamina.

Train diligently – Spiritual progress depends upon it.

When God speaks, Miracles Happen.

Dear all,

Be strong through the grace that God gives you in Christ Jesus. II Timothy 2: 1

Word: Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. Genesis 1: 3

“And the LORD formed man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.” Genesis 2: 7

Thought: The potter making a vessel with his well-trained hands (Ref: Isaiah 64:8 and 2 Corinthians 4:7–11). Elohim reveals His power by creating everything by entirely speaking the Word. In particular, God created us by touching mud from the ground. This shows God’s love for mankind and He proved again His love by generously giving His son LORD Jesus Christ for us on the cross to make the path to salvation. In Christ, we have everything we need for salvation and for living the victorious Christian life. Thank God for what we have received in Christ Jesus.

Never underestimate God’s love for us in Christ Jesus!

When God speaks, miracles happen.
