Christ Jesus – The Living Stone

Leave a reply

Dear all,

Grace and peace be to you in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. II Pet 1:2

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. Ephesians 1:3

Word:

            As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—  you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame. II Peter 2: 4-6.

Thought: Let us renew our vision and confidence in Christ.

The Characteristics of Christ – the Cornerstone, are completely trustworthy and precious to those who believe in Him.

Quiet convictions often earn long term respect.

Pass it on! Proclaiming Jesus Wherever He Leads us!

Your strength will equal your days. Deuteronomy 33: 25

Dear all,

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.  II Cor 1: 2

Word:        

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Psalms 46: 1 – 3

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. John 15: 1 – 4.

Thought: How can I receive strength and confidence?

LORD Jesus is our eternal refuge and gives strength and confidence in all circumstances.

Have a Victorious walk in Christ

Prayer: Two-way communication

Leave a reply

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 of God:

At the beginning of your supplications, the command was issued, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed; so give heed to the message and gain an understanding of the vision. Daniel 9: 23

Thought: Prayer: Two-way communication

Prayer is an excellent bridge between Our Father in Heaven and us through our Loving Lord and Savior Jesus Christ empowered by the Holy Spirit. It is a precious gift that is given exclusively for HIS people. It is a very basic discipline of a born again Christian. Prayer is not to change God but to change our self, according to God’s desire. We have to practice the praying habit according to our role model, Lord Jesus Christ (Hebrews 5:7, Matthew 26: 39 & 42). It is possible because He has promised us the Helper Holy Spirit. The word of God says in Zechariah 4:6 – Not by might, nor by power but by my spirit says the Lord of Hosts.

Do we have Authentic Friends in Christ-Jesus?

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: Mark 2: 1 – 12

Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Verses 3 – 5.

Thought:

Jesus came not only to heal physical problems but also to solve the sin problem. If we have not yet come to know Jesus, we are paralyzed in spirit, as powerless to help ourselves as was this paralyzed man. If our faith is still too weak to carry us to the point of healing, the faith of “four friends” may be enough to get us there. Adapted from Every Man’s Bible, Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.

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

How can we know the way to God?

Leave a reply

Dear all,

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

Word: John 14 – Jesus Comforts His Disciples – Jesus is the way to the Father

14 “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And you know the way where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. 7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.” – John 14: 1 – 7

Thought: LORD Jesus is the way to the Father – This is one of the most basic and important passages in Scripture.

How can we know the way to God? Only through Christ Jesus. Trust Jesus to take you to the Father and all the blessings in Christ Jesus of being God’s child will be yours.

May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us.  yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalms 90: 17

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 name; you 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 Israel, your 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.      

What will God Testify about you and me?

Greetings in LORD Jesus Christ’s mighty name.
 
Praise Him- for His love endures forever
 
Psalm 113:3
From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
    the name of the Lord is to be praised.  
 
Such is the greatness of our Lord and God almighty. He is Holy and He is worthy to be praised. This is what we see in Revelation 4:8-11
 

…“‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’[a] who was, and is, and is to come.”….“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will, they were created and have their being.”  

There is so much more in Praising God than we can ever imagine (especially in our struggles).  When we start praising God, Our focus changes from self to GOD. This is where we often have trouble, especially in difficult times. But the movement we open our hearts to praise HIM, He fills us with joy, peace, comfort, strength, etc. Such is the goodness of our God. He is Trustworthy. When we praise God, it helps us to humble and rely on Him to bring us out of struggles, to overcome. Praise changes our mindset from complaining to trusting God, reliance on GOD. Praise invites HIS Presence into our lives, situations. Praise refreshes and renews our spirit in HIM. Praise allows God to release His power and do miracles. (Acts 16:25-26)
 
We can trust in many things, but nothing can ever come close or even be compared to what God offers us in Him. So Praise Him
Our sufferings are temporary. But remember who we are in Christ, He loves us, He has called us His Children, He Blessed us. Let us praise the Lord forever. 
 
May the LORD fill us with His Holy Spirit and let we Praise Him all day long and all the days of our life as King David, whom God testified as “A man after my Own Heart”(1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22)
What will God Testify about you and me? 
 

God Bless.    

REMEMBER-TRUST-OBEY

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
 
Greetings in the name of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.
 
Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” 
 
Bible says Trust the Lord! yet we have difficulty trusting the Lord at one point or another in our walk with Him, especially when we face trials, hardships, uncomfortable situations, etc. When things are going smooth it’s easy to trust God, but when life is not smooth what is our attitude towards GOD? When we are not in comfortable situations, Our natural instincts start brainstorming for ideas how to overcome the situations and we try to solve on our own instead of leaning on GOD and Trusting that he will help us overcome
 
In order to trust God, we must completely surrender our will, our plans, our desires, our future, and our comfort into God’s hands and that’s not easy  and only possible by the help of Holy Spirit
 
God gave clear instructions to Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil(Genesis 2:16). yet he ate it (Genesis 3:6), we see the result of SIN
For Noah God gave instruction to build an ark(Genesis 6:13-14), Noah trusted( Genesis 6:22) and they were saved.
 
REMEMBER-TRUST-OBEY
Remember-Gods word, His Faithfulness(Do not ignore, Remembering HIS Word is the first step)
Trust– Trust in Him and His Word
Obey– Obey Him
 
We can trust in many things, but nothing can ever come close or even be compared to what God offers us in Him.
 
Romans 8:28 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose.
Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. . .” (1 Chronicles 28:20)  
 

God Bless.
