Ambassadors of Christ Jesus! 

Dear all,
Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10
Word: Ministry of Reconciliation
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us. so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.       2 Corinthians 5:18-21 (NIV)

Thought: We are called to be ambassadors for Christ Jesus and His Kingdom. An ambassador is an official representative of one country to another. As believers, we are Christ’s ambassadors, sent with the message of redemption in Christ Jesus to the World.

In what ways we are fulfilling our call?

Remember your call and we are the ambassadors of Christ Jesus! 

Spiritual Eyes

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:

When He (Jesus) was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it, and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each other “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” Luke 24: 30-32

Thought:

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 2 Cor 4:4

Prayer:

Dear God, open our eyes to see the mission fields which are ready for harvest. Help us to see through the eyes of Jesus the multitudes of people, without someone to show them the way. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

The Role of the Holy Bible in Biblical and Spiritual Transformation

Dear all,         

May God give you more and more grace and peace. 1 Peter 1:2        

Word: “The Role of the Holy Bible in Biblical and Spiritual Transformation”

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Tim 3: 16 – 17

Thought:

God wants to show us what is true and equip us to live for Him. Let us read the word of God regularly to discover God’s truth and to become confident in Christ Jesus. When we have confidence in Christ Jesus, we will see the world from God’s perspective. Moreover, we will be looking at life and legacy through the eyes of the LORD Jesus Christ with love, compassion, vision, and kindness. 

Sin will keep you from God’s word – God’s word will keep you from sin! 

Stand firm in Christ

Living Under an Open Heaven

Dear all,
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let us praise our Lord and forget not all His benefits. His grace is new every day. No matter what the circumstances are, He is with us, and He is carrying us in His Shoulders. When you trust Him, by faith we can see His works in our life and through our life.

Let us ask God to give us the eyes to see His glory.


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

Thought:  Have quiet time each day with God and be still before Him, reverently honoring Him for who He is. Never underestimate the resurrected power of Christ Jesus in you. Retain His promises in your consciousness. The Glory of God comes to all, those who are waiting. We may be in the bend of the road not at the end of the road. This will give you the strength to overcome every challenge you face in your faith Journey.

“Go and make disciples of all nations” – Matthew 28: 18 – 20
 “Go and preach the gospel to all creations” – Mark 16: 15

Gift of God and Faithful Stewardship

Dear all,

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

Living for God:

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.  If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. I Peter 4: 10-11

Thought: God has given us special and unique abilities. We are called to use these gifts for God’s glory, permitting his generosity to flow through us.  When we are careful to focus on God’s glory, we can make a significant difference wherever God placed us!

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.

Faith in Action

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: Faith in Action

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith, we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. Hebrews 11: 1-3

Thought: Faith involves trust that God is working in the unseen spiritual realm, based upon God’s past actions in the world. Those who want to lead a vibrant and energetic Christian life have always had to live by such unshakable faith, even in the middle of life’s trials (Hebrews 11). God accomplishes his purposes, great and small through the faith journey of His people. As we trust him with every aspect of our lives, he will accomplish his will for us. 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.

Stand Still | Sit Still | Be Still

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: 

Stand still: Exodus 14: 13 and 14 say: Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Sit still: Ruth 3: 18 says: Then Naomi said, “Wait, my daughter, until you find out what happens. For the man will not rest until the matter is settled today.”Be still: Psalm 46: 10: He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;     I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Thought:

Let us understand the Word of God and apply it in our day-to-day life in every dimension. Let us share the love of Christ Jesus through our lifestyle with as many people as we can. Ruth 3: 2 says “And it happened”. In our LORD’S Sovereign plan, He decided to bring Ruth as the “Mother of Kings” and our LORD Jesus Christ, when he came to this world, He came as a descendant of Ruth (Matthew 1: 5). Let us build people’s life with four pillars such as love, care, respect, and vision. 

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.

Communion with God

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: For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13-14

I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. Isaiah 48:10

Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but the Lord tests the heart. Proverbs 17:3

Thought: The born-again Christian’s most powerful resource is communion with God through prayer and living in the presence of God.

Prayer gives – power to the powerless, hope to the hopeless, and strength to the strengthless!

God will answer your Christ-Jesus-centered prayers in mysterious ways. Have a Victorious walk in Christ

Never forget – Your identity in Christ.

Dear all, 

Grace and peace to you in the name of the LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.

Word:

All praise to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Ephesians 1:3

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. Phil 4: 19-20

Boaz replied, “I’ve been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband—how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before. May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.” Ruth 2: 11-12

Thought:

We must never forget that God is in charge of our lives. The strength of Kindness – God calls His people to show mighty kindness. 

Never forget – Your identity in Christ.

Bitter Water at Marah Vs Cross of Christ Jesus

Dear all, 

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

Word: Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.  Ephesians 4: 31-32

Exodus 15: 22 – 27 – Bitter Water at Marah – Cross of Christ Jesus and leading a Christ-centered life will heal the bitterness in life, permanently! 

Thought: This is Christ’s law for forgiveness. We have received the forgiveness in Christ; let us pass it on to others for His kingdom’s sake.

Have a Victorious walk in Christ
