By His stripes we are healed

Leave a reply

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

Word:

“He was wounded… He was crushed… By His stripes we are healed” (Isa 53:5)

 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ,set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand ofGod. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, andyour life is now hidden with Christ in God. (Colossians 3.1-3)

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

Thought:

Jesus Christ – The True friend

True joy comes from a consistentrelationship with Him.

Christ’s Compasion

Leave a reply

Word:

            Therefore, as God’s chosen people,holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility,gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any ofyou has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And overall these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Col3: 12 – 14

Thought:

Pauloffers us guidelines to live for Christ moment by moment. Imitate Christ’scompassionate, forgiving attitude. Let love be the guiding force of your life.  Let the peace of Christ always rule your heart.Wherever you go express the aroma of Christ in your words and deeds.

 

Christ’s law for forgiveness

Leave a reply

Dear Friends,

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

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.

Thank you all

The purpose of God’s judgment is correction, not revenge

Leave a reply

Dear Friends,

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

Word:

The word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.” But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD. Jonah 1: 1-3.

Thought:

 The purpose of God’s judgment is correction, not revenge. He is always willing to show compassion to anyone willing to obey Him. If God asks us to share with our neighbors / colleagues Christ’s love and the free gift of salvation through faith in Lord Jesus what will our response be? When we face difficulties on account of the gospel God will provide us the strength and encouragement we need.

Let us boldly share the love of Christ to those who are in need of Christ’s love.

The Fear of the Lord

Leave a reply

Word:

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your life. If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer. Pro 9: 10-12.

Thought:

The foundation of knowledge is to fear the LORD- to honour and respect God, to live in awe of His power and obey His word. The word of God is living, life changing and dynamic as it works in us. It is the controlling principle of our understanding of life in this world as well as our attitudes and our actions.

The Supremacy of the Son of God

Leave a reply

 Word:

The Supremacy of the Son of God

 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.  Col 1: 15-17

Thought:

God says that wisdom is primary and fundamental. It is the foundation on which all life is built. In Paul’s spiritual journey he mentioned about wisdom to describe Christ’s presence at the creation of the world.

God’s plan

Leave a reply

Word:

Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route. Mat 2: 7-12

Thought: Herod was king by a human appointment; Jesus was king by a divine appointment. No one can prevent God’s plan from being carried out.

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 Wiseman to be part of His sovereign plan.

Wish you all a merry Christmas.

Sound Doctrine

Word:

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.” Isaiah 9:6

You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine. Titus 2:1

Thought:

Invest your spiritual abilities for those who are walking along with you. Express your genuine love, care and compassion to non-believers by praying, sharing the word of God, and living a Christ centered life. To stay in good spiritual shape we must discipline ourselves to study God’s word and obey it.
