Dear all,
Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10
Word:
And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Thought:
Jesus multiplied five loaves and two fish to feed over 5,000 people. What he was originally given seemed insufficient, but in HIS hands it became more than enough.

Dear all,
Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10
Word:
But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
Thought:
Mary and Martha both loved Jesus. On this occasion they were both serving Him. Lord Jesus Christ, asked Martha to set her priorities. How about our priorities? There is a proper time to listen to Jesus and obey Him and a proper time to work for Him.

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. Phil 1: 2
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 Cor 2: 9-10.
Thought:
“God’s deep secrets” refers to God’s unfathomable nature and his wonderful plan – Jesus’ death and resurrection – and to the promise of salvation, revealed only to those who believe that what God says is true.

May God give you more and more grace and peace. 1 Peter 1:2
Word: “The role of the Holy Bible in 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 you what is true and equip you to live for Him. Read the word of God regularly to discover God’s truth and to become confident in Christ. When you have confidence in Christ you will see the world with God’s perspective.
Sin will keep you from God’s word – God’s word will keep you from sin

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. 2 Thes 1:2
Word: “Total Transformation in Christ”
A Living Sacrifice:
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12: 1 and 2
Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but the Lord tests the heart. Proverbs 17:3
Thought:
God has good, pleasing and perfect plans for his children. He wants us to be transformed people with renewed minds, living to honor and obey him. Only when the Holy Spirit renews, reeducates and redirects our mind are we truly transformed.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. Proverbs 27: 17
Thought:
To give more fruits in our daily life (Qualities of Christian Character) we must know Jesus, love Jesus, remember Jesus, and imitate Jesus. As a result we will love God and our neighbors.

Dear all,
Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Word: “Jesus Reinstates Peter”
When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. John 21: 15 – 17
Thought:
Jesus asked Peter three times if he loved him. The first time Jesus said, “Do you love me more than these? (Greek agape: self-sacrificial love). The second time, Jesus focused on peter alone and still used the word translated into Greek, agape. The third time, Jesus used the word translated into Greek, phileo (brotherly love) and asked, in effect, “Are you even my friend?
If Lord Jesus Christ asked us the same question today, what will be our response? If we do everything out of love we will never be disappointed. Let us run for the Lord with love.
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Roman 5:5

Dear all,
Greetingsto you in the most precious and glorious name of our resurrected Lord andSavior Jesus Christ.
Word:
Be strong in the grace that is inChrist Jesus. And the things you have heard me sayin the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. II Tim 2: 1- 2
Thought:
Graceis God’s undeserved favor on our behalf. Just as we are saved by God’s grace we should live by it. Total trust and hope inChrist Jesus and His power alone is sufficient to effectively live for Him. Inorder to serve God we need courage, commitment and willingness to renounceworldly pleasure.
