REMEMBER-TRUST-OBEY

Leave a reply
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
 
Greetings in the name of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.
 
Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” 
 
Bible says Trust the Lord! yet we have difficulty trusting the Lord at one point or another in our walk with Him, especially when we face trials, hardships, uncomfortable situations, etc. When things are going smooth it’s easy to trust God, but when life is not smooth what is our attitude towards GOD? When we are not in comfortable situations, Our natural instincts start brainstorming for ideas how to overcome the situations and we try to solve on our own instead of leaning on GOD and Trusting that he will help us overcome
 
In order to trust God, we must completely surrender our will, our plans, our desires, our future, and our comfort into God’s hands and that’s not easy  and only possible by the help of Holy Spirit
 
God gave clear instructions to Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil(Genesis 2:16). yet he ate it (Genesis 3:6), we see the result of SIN
For Noah God gave instruction to build an ark(Genesis 6:13-14), Noah trusted( Genesis 6:22) and they were saved.
 
REMEMBER-TRUST-OBEY
Remember-Gods word, His Faithfulness(Do not ignore, Remembering HIS Word is the first step)
Trust– Trust in Him and His Word
Obey– Obey Him
 
We can trust in many things, but nothing can ever come close or even be compared to what God offers us in Him.
 
Romans 8:28 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose.
Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. . .” (1 Chronicles 28:20)  
 

God Bless.  

Remember – Who we are in Christ-Jesus

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
 
Greetings in Jesus Christ
 
Ephesians 1:3
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 Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he[b] predestined us for adoption to sonship[c] through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 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 complete, not 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.

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

 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.

Trusting in the LORD Jesus is the patient expectation that God will fulfill His promises in his Word and strengthen us to rise above life’s difficulties.

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

Dear all,

May God bless and strengthen you all the days of your life Ephesians 6: 12 – 17

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

Thought:

True believers have been transferred from darkness to light, from slavery to freedom, from guilt to forgiveness and from the power of Satan to the power of God.

Our conduct should reflect our new allegiance.

God’s Protection for His People

Dear all,

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

Word:

Like birds hovering overhead, the LORD Almighty will shield Jerusalem; he will shield it and deliver it, he will ‘pass over’ it and will rescue it.”  Isaiah 31:5

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Matthew 23:37

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?” Genesis 3:8-9

Thought: Let us renew our vision and confidence in Christ.

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