Word

As iron sharpens iron,so a friend sharpens a friend.Proverbs 27: 17

You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I callyou servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but Ihave called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have madeknown to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that youshould go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever youask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. John 15:14-16

Is not my word like fire, declaresthe LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces. Jeremiah 23:29

God’s sovereign plan

Dear all,

May God bless you and keep you in His presence and His peace during this Christmas season and years to come.

Word:

But you, Bethlehem Ephrata, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from ancient times. Micah:  5:2

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.  An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.  This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Thought:

In order to magnify the glory of his own mercy God has chosen the little town of Bethlehem, Joseph, Mary, Shepherds and Wiseman to be part of His sovereign plan.

Wish you all a merry Christmas.

Purity in Christian life

Word:

How can a young man keep his way pure?  By living according to your word. Ps 119: 9

Jesus said, “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

Thought:

Our Journey in Christ begins with God’s wisdom, requires practical application and the results will be victorious Christian living. Trust God and His word; allow His word to speak to you personally; be willing to obey: act on God’s direction daily; May His Word be our confidence to face our day to day challenges.

The Journey in Christ

Word:        

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; Psa 37: 5-7a

Thought:

Prayer may be as simple as a baby’s cry; as eloquent as a tear; as secret as a heart-pang; as swift as the lightning; as high as heaven; and as divinely human as the Christ of God. Prayer is only real prayer when inspired by Him and His Spirit – Author Un known.

Christian’s happiness

Word:  

But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”  At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul. While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep. Acts: 7: 55 – 60.

Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” John 11: 40

Thought:

A Christian’s happiness and joyful life is not dependent on his circumstances.Keep honouring God in your conduct and words. Stephen’s death had a profound impact on Paul, who later become the world’s greatest missionary. Even those who oppose you now may later turn to Christ.

 

Characteristics of Christ

Leave a reply

Dear all,
Grace and peace be to you in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. II Pet 1:2
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. Eph 1:3
Word:
 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—  you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame. II Peter 2: 4-6.
Thought: Let us renew our vision and confidence in Christ.
The Characteristics of Christ- the Corner stone, are completely trustworthy and precious to those who believe in Him.
