Today is the Day of Salvation

Dear Friends in Christ,

We wish you all a Christ-centered Christmas season. Remember Christ Jesus is the reason for this season!

Word:

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. Luke 21: 33-34

Thought: Are we caught up with materialism? Who/what is ruling our hearts?

If we replace Christ with anything else that becomes idol worship.

Our role model is Christ and He lived a humble and holy life. Do we have humbleness in our hearts?

Today is the day of Salvation. Turn to Jesus and He will change our hearts.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas season and a blessed new-year 2020.

Be strong and glad!

Stand firm in Christ

Be Strong and Glad – Seek and Save

Dear all,

Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10

Word: “For unto us a child is born, unto us, a Son is given”. (Isaiah 9:6)

Thought: God sent us the light of the world Jesus Christ to show His light to those who are in darkness. God sent us the Savior to seek and save those who are lost.

To make ready a group of people to meet our LORD Jesus Christ.

Be strong and glad! Pass it on! Proclaiming Jesus Wherever He Leads us!

Arise and Shine for Christ Jesus

Dear all,

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace and bless you as a channel of blessings.

Acts 14: 17 says “He sends rain and good crops and gives you food and joyful hearts”. 

Let us receive His blessings and share the blessings with many nations.

Thought:

True happiness is in Christ Jesus and it is not based on the things that we have. We cannot always choose what happens to us, but we can choose our attitude toward each situation. The secret to a joyful heart is filling our minds with thoughts that dwell on the things that are true and pure (Philip 4: 8). This was Paul’s secret as he faced imprisonment because of the Gospel of Christ Jesus and it can be ours as we face struggles in our daily life. Check your attitude. Examine, in the presence of God what we allow to enter our mind and what we choose to dwell on. We may need to make some positive changes. Seek to do what is right and walk humbly with the LORD Jesus Christ in this faith journey (Zephaniah 2: 3).

Let us be the Church (Romans 12:3-5) and be tentmakers like Aquila and Pricilla’s family (Acts 18:1-4; 18-20; 24-26). 

Arise and Shine for Christ Jesus

God’s Love in Christ-Jesus Endures Forever

Dear all,

Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10

Word:

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Ps 100: 4-5

Thought:

Remember God’s goodness, grace, and dependability in our life. He never put his people to shame.  Worship Him with a whole heart, mind, and soul.  Thank and Praise Him – His love endures forever.

Trust God

Dear all,

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let us praise our Lord and forget not all His benefits. His grace is new every day.

Word: “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” – Psalm 46: 10

              Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning – Luke 12: 35

              Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10

Thought: 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?

Where is our help coming from? 

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
 
Greetings in Jesus Christ
 
Praise Him- for His love endures forever
 
Isaiah 43:1-3
43 But now, this is what the Lord says— he who created you, Jacob,    he who formed you, Israel:“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;    I have summoned you by nameyou are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,    I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers,    they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire,    you will not be burned;    the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the Lord your God,    the Holy One of Israelyour Savior;  
 
Doesn’t it bring peace and confidence to know that He made us, He redeemed us, He knows us by name. God knows everything, that there is no hiding from Him. He is all-powerful.
 
There is nothing that God cannot do, for He is the Lord God Almighty.
 
Omniscience: There is nothing that God does not know.
Omnipotence: God is All-Powerful, No one and nothing is more powerful than He. His power is inherent, part of His being as God.
Omnipresence: There is no place where God is not present. Absolutely nothing is beyond God’s reach. To be clear this is not saying that God is in everything
 
Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent these attributes of God mean we are never alone and never without help if you are a child of God.
We may not understand all that God allows to happen. The reason for our circumstances or for things that happen in this world may be a mystery to us but not to the Almighty God. 
 
Knowing who God is, what He is capable of and His Presence brings us great joy, peace, comfort, strength, and confidence. Our times are in His hands and we need not fear. He is Faithful, He is always there.
 
Where are we looking for help? 
Where is our help coming from? 
Can we say as in 
Psalms 121:1-2

1I lift up my eyes to the mountains—

where does my help come from?

2My help comes from the Lord,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

 
Let it be.
Amen
 

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!

Pass it on! Proclaiming Jesus Wherever He Leads us!

Your strength will equal your days. Deuteronomy 33: 25

“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.

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

Dear all,

Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10
