Through Christ Jesus we are overcomers

Leave a reply

Dear all,
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Ephesians1: 3
Word:  “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
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: Look up to Jesus When we look at the world around us it’s so discouraging. Wherever and whatever we see are filled with chaos and confusion. Today you might be facing a discouraging situation that is holding you up from moving on. Leave the situation in the hands of the Lord and cling to the promise the Lord gave to Joshua as your promise. We pray that you will be like the singing little bird sitting peacefully on top of the tree amidst the roaring storm. Look up to Jesus; He will give you the strength to overcome any raging storm you are facing. Through Christ Jesus we are overcomers.

Practical and Victorious Christian Life

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: “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “You are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10: 41 – 42.

Thought:

To live a practical and victorious Christian life we must keep our eyes on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ without any distractions. Distractions diminish our devotion to Jesus. In contrast, our devotion to Jesus diminishes our distractions.

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?

Stand firm in Christ

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

Train your mind consistently in a Christ-Jesus-centered way – Spiritual progress depends upon it.

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.

Reconciliation!

Dear all,

May God give you more and more grace and peace.

Word: So we are Christ’s ambassadors, God is making His appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we “Come back to God”. II Corinthians 5: 20

Thought:  As believers of Christ Jesus, we are Christ’s ambassadors, sent with His message of reconciliation to the world.

How well are we fulfilling our commission as Christ’s ambassadors?

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! 

“When we have the Aroma of Christ Jesus, we cannot hide it”.

Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Word: But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. I Peter 2: 9-10

Thought: True Identity in Christ Jesus and a relationship with God empowered by the power of the Holy Spirit is far more important and vital than our jobs, successes, wealth, or knowledge. Remember – We are the ambassador for God’s Kingdom, light and salt. Our value comes from being one of God’s children not from what we can achieve. We have worth because of what God does not because of what we do!
God sent us the Savior to seek and save those who are lost.

Our conduct should reflect our new allegiance.

“When we have the Aroma of Christ Jesus, we cannot hide it”.

 Let there be light | Light in the Darkness

Dear all,

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

Word: The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more; the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end. Isaiah 60: 19-20

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

Do you put God’s Word into action what you have studied?

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!

The Role of the Holy Bible in Biblical and Spiritual Transformation

Leave a reply

Dear all,         

May God give you more and more grace and peace. 1 Peter 1:2        

Word: “The Role of the Holy Bible in Biblical and 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 us what is true and equip us to live for Him. Let us read the word of God regularly to discover God’s truth and to become confident in Christ Jesus. When we have confidence in Christ Jesus, we will see the world from God’s perspective. Moreover, we will be looking at life and legacy through the eyes of the LORD Jesus Christ with love, compassion, vision, and kindness. 

Sin will keep you from God’s word – God’s word will keep you from sin! 

Stand firm in Christ
