‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty. Zechariah 4: 6

Dear all,

Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

“This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty. Zechariah 4: 6

Thought: Many people believe that to thrive in this world the person must be tough, strong, unbending and harsh. But God says, “Not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit.” The key word is “by my Spirit.”

As you lead a Christ centered life, determine not to trust in your own strength or abilities. Instead, depend on God’s unlimited resources and work in the power of His Spirit.

“The Triumphal entry into Jerusalem”

Dear all,

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Word: “The Triumphal entry into Jerusalem”

21 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,²saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. ³If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.” Matthew 21:1-3

The Coming of Zion’s King

Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. Zechariah 9:9

Thought:

The triumphal entry of Jesus was predicted by Zechariah more than 500 years before it happened. Just as this prophecy was fulfilled when Jesus came to earth, the prophesies of his second coming are certain to come true. We are to be ready for his return, for he is coming!

Don’t let the cares of this life weigh us down. Be ready;

Prepare to meet your God, O Israel Amos 4:12

Be strong and glad!

Stand firm in Christ

Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead: Are you guilty about your past?

Philippians 3: 10 – 14 says that, I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

1 Peter 5 7

Christian faith is a race and Christ Jesus is running with us. Whenever we fail, He is able to carry us, even through the storm. Here, Paul sets his goal to know Christ Jesus, to be like Him, and to be all Christ had in mind for him. We should not let anything take our eyes off our goal but know Christ single mindedly without wavering, like an athlete in dynamic training. We must lay aside everything harmful and forsake anything that may distract us from being effective Christians.

What is holding you back? Break every chain in the mighty name of Jesus!

Remember His promises and live with His power every day without fail.

Clear Vision to See Things the way LORD Jesus sees them

Clear Vision to See Things the way LORD Jesus sees them
Why did Jesus touch the man a second time before he could see?
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+8%3A22+-+26&version=NIV

This miracle was not difficult for Jesus, but he chose to do it in stages. Jesus asked him “Can you see anything now?” “Yes”, he said, “I see people, but I can’t see them very clearly. They look like trees walking around.”
Interestingly, this healed man expressed his true status to LORD Jesus.
Are we healed completely by the healing power of LORD Jesus or still do we have any inner wounds? If our answer is yes, we need to pray for his “second healing touch” in our hearts.

Are we able to see souls with his eyes or are we still seeing them like trees walking around?

Mark 8: 25 says that, Jesus placed his hands on the man’s eyes again and his eyes were opened. His sight was completely restored, and he could see everything clearly.
We need to understand God’s heart for the people and their souls. God created mankind as eternal beings.
Let us make a list of all of our unsaved colleagues and family members and pray for their salvation. I strongly believe that, God is more than able to save their souls.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+3%3A20-21&version=NIV
One man Elijah prayed earnestly and God answered his prayers (James 5: 17). It is our responsibility to protect them with our true prayers like a fence around a new plant .
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+5%3A17&version=NKJV
How is our prayer life? Are we spending quality time in the presence of God every day? I personally believe that, nothing is more important than carrying the presence of God wherever He leads us. God has called us to fix our eyes on Jesus. Let us do some self-analysis and make corrections wherever required.
Let us ask God to give a total restoration and a great revival for our spiritual eyes to focus clearly, to see the people and their souls like Him.
A backslider cannot pray and a prayer warrior cannot dwell in sin.

Let us prepare to meet our LORD Jesus and prepare others too

Dear all,
May God our Father and the LORD Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. Phil 1: 2
Word: The Parable of the Ten Virgins
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2025:1-13

Thought: Jesus told this parable to clarify further what it means to be ready for his return and how to live until he comes. We are taught that every person is responsible for his or her own spiritual condition.
Let us prepare to meet our LORD Jesus and prepare others too. Are we existing for the Kingdom’s sake by living a Christ centered exemplary life?

‘God’s deep secrets’ refers to God’s unfathomable nature and his wonderful plan

Leave a reply

Dear all,

Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

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 Corinthians 2:9 -10

Thought: ‘God’s deep secrets’ refers to God’s unfathomable nature and his wonderful plan – Jesus’ birth, death and resurection and to the promise of salvation, revealed only to those who believe that what God says is true. Be brave. God never forgets His people. He is good at all time. God’s eyes are watching over us. We cannot hide anything from Him.

Abiding life in Christ Jesus

Dear all,
Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Word: “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15: 5

Compass and bible depicting popular bible verse John 14:5-6 How do we know the way. I am the way the truth and the life….etc. Focus to bible text

Thought: Abiding life in Christ Jesus: Receive and Remain in Him – To be used by God mightily for His Kingdom, He is expecting only one thing from us. It is 100% absolute submission of our heart to carry out His will to bring a total deliverance. Moreover, trust in him and rely up on him and be empowered by the power of Holy Spirit. So that, the anointment will give us the ability to carry out God’s ministry according to His master plan.

Be part of God’s sovereign plan

Leave a reply

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 Wise-man to be part of His sovereign plan.

Wish you all a merry Christmas.

No matter what the circumstances are, LORD Jesus is with us and He is carrying us on His Shoulders

Dear Friends,
Greetings in the mighty name of our lord and Savior Jesus Christ. No matter what the circumstances are, He is with us and He is carrying us on His Shoulders. Let us ask God to fill our hearts with Thanksgiving thoughts for all His blessings in Christ Jesus.

Wish you a happy thanksgiving.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
Thought for the week:
2 Corinthians 2:14
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.

Judging???

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: Matthew 7: 1 – 5
“Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7%3A+1-5&version=NASB

Thought: Judge Not:
Take time this thanksgiving season to think back over the past year. Has there been a time when you judged someone wrongly and hurt them by your attitude, words or actions? If so, call the person or write a note of apologizing for your wrong judgement and asking for forgiveness.
