Word:
But whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.” Pro 1:33
Thought:
Let us renew our vision and confidence in Christ.
In this world there are only two categories of peoples. People who are living in Christ and those who are without Christ.
When you are living in Christ the fear will fear to touch you.
Word:
The LORD took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness. Gen 15: 4-5.
Thought:
In verse 12 – Bible says that the sun was going down. In verse 5 Bible says God called Abram out of his tent and ask him to look up at the sky and count the stars. God can show stars even in the day time. He is the creator of this Universe and His blessings are beyond our imaginations.
God is the beginning and the end. He is our creator and has numbered all our days even before we were born. When circumstances are not in favor of you, when things go wrong don’t despair rather trust in God for He is in control.
He said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty. Zec 4:6
For we live by faith, not by sight. II Cor 5:7
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10b
Word:
Freedom in Christ
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8: 34-36.
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
Galatians 5: 1 and 13.
Thought:
Lord Jesus Christ was born in this world, died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins and was raised to set us free from sin. Let us practice to walk humbly with Him every moment.
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
Elvina M. Hall (1865)
Word:
Then Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any. So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’
“‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’” Luke 13: 6 – 3.
Thought:
Have you been enjoying God’s special treatment without giving anything in return? If so, respond to the Gardener’s patient care and begin to bear that fruit God has created you to produce.
Be thankful to God that you are wonderfully made to accomplish His purposes.
“THE LORD ALMIGHTY IS MUSTERING AN ARMY FOR WAR. IS 13:4”
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, forgiveness of sins.Colossians 1:13-14 (NIV)
Thought: The best way to escape from this sinful world is to understand who you are in Christ.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, Give us a clean heart to understand who we are in Christ, In Jesus name. Amen.
Growing in grace:
Word: But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen 2 Peter 3:18
Thought: The degree of our spiritual growth is directly proportional to the degree of our submission to God and doing His will. No matter where we are in our spiritual journey, no matter how mature we are in our faith, the sinful world always will challenge our faith. But, the word of God says “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” Phil 1:6
All to Jesus I surrender;
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
I surrender all,
I surrender all;
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
(Judson W. Van DeVenter, 1896)
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. II Cor 1:2
Word: “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5
How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. Ps 119: 9
Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen. 2 Peter 3:18
Thought: Unlike a wild horse that is poorly organized let’s invest our talents and gifts in the development of His kingdom. May His Word be our guiding force.
Word:
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Phil 1:2
Word: Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus. Phil 2: 5
But only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10: 42
Thought:
In Spiritual Warfare – Always remember – We are in the Winning side – Christ is the Victor.
Dear Friends,
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16: 13 -14. Word: Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28: 18 – 20.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11(NIV)
Thought: Let us renew our vision and confidence in Christ. Be courageous. Our future is secure in Christ Jesus because he knows all about it.
Stand firm In Christ
