You are the salt of the Earth

Dear all, May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you [filling your heart with the spiritual well-being and serenity experienced by those who walk closely with God]. Jude 1: 2 (Amplified Bible)

Word:

Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. Col 4: 5 – 6.

You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.  Mat 5:13

Thought:

God chooses people in many different ways. For example, He may choose a person either before the foundation of the earth or in his/her mother’s womb, or in the furnace of pain. Jesus said we are the light and salt to this earth. Look around, the entire world is filled with sin and it is like the times of Noah/Lot. We are the people responsible to share His love to our circle of nonbelievers. If not we, then who will?

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.

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!

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!

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.

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! 

Gift of God and Faithful Stewardship

Leave a reply

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.

Communion with God

Leave a reply

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

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

Leave a reply

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.
