Living Under an Open Heaven

Leave a reply

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. No matter what the circumstances are, He is with us, and He is carrying us in His Shoulders. When you trust Him, by faith we can see His works in our life and through our life.

Let us ask God to give us the eyes to see His glory.


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:  Have quiet time each day with God and be still before Him, reverently honoring Him for who He is. Never underestimate the resurrected power of Christ Jesus in you. Retain His promises in your consciousness. The Glory of God comes to all, those who are waiting. We may be in the bend of the road not at the end of the road. This will give you the strength to overcome every challenge you face in your faith Journey.

Gift of God and Faithful Stewardship

Leave a reply

Dear all,

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

Living for God:

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.  If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. I Peter 4: 10-11

Thought: God has given us special and unique abilities. We are called to use these gifts for God’s glory, permitting his generosity to flow through us.  When we are careful to focus on God’s glory, we can make a significant difference wherever God placed us!

In Christ, we have everything we need for salvation and for living the Christian life. Thank God for what we have received in Christ Jesus.

Proclaiming Jesus Wherever He Leads Us!

Faith in Action

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: Faith in Action

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith, we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. Hebrews 11: 1-3

Thought: Faith involves trust that God is working in the unseen spiritual realm, based upon God’s past actions in the world. Those who want to lead a vibrant and energetic Christian life have always had to live by such unshakable faith, even in the middle of life’s trials (Hebrews 11). God accomplishes his purposes, great and small through the faith journey of His people. As we trust him with every aspect of our lives, he will accomplish his will for us. In Christ, we have everything we need for salvation and for living the Christian life. Thank God for what we have received in Christ Jesus.

Stand Still | Sit Still | Be Still

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: 

Stand still: Exodus 14: 13 and 14 say: Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Sit still: Ruth 3: 18 says: Then Naomi said, “Wait, my daughter, until you find out what happens. For the man will not rest until the matter is settled today.”Be still: Psalm 46: 10: He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;     I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Thought:

Let us understand the Word of God and apply it in our day-to-day life in every dimension. Let us share the love of Christ Jesus through our lifestyle with as many people as we can. Ruth 3: 2 says “And it happened”. In our LORD’S Sovereign plan, He decided to bring Ruth as the “Mother of Kings” and our LORD Jesus Christ, when he came to this world, He came as a descendant of Ruth (Matthew 1: 5). Let us build people’s life with four pillars such as love, care, respect, and vision. 

In Christ, we have everything we need for salvation and for living the Christian life. Thank God for what we have received in Christ Jesus.

Communion with God

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: For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13-14

I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. Isaiah 48:10

Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but the Lord tests the heart. Proverbs 17:3

Thought: The born-again Christian’s most powerful resource is communion with God through prayer and living in the presence of God.

Prayer gives – power to the powerless, hope to the hopeless, and strength to the strengthless!

God will answer your Christ-Jesus-centered prayers in mysterious ways. Have a Victorious walk in Christ

Dear all, 

Grace and peace to you in the name of the LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.

Word:

All praise to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Ephesians 1:3

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. Phil 4: 19-20

Boaz replied, “I’ve been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband—how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before. May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.” Ruth 2: 11-12

Thought:

We must never forget that God is in charge of our lives. The strength of Kindness – God calls His people to show mighty kindness. 

Never forget – Your identity in Christ.

Bitter Water at Marah Vs Cross of Christ Jesus

Dear all, 

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

Exodus 15: 22 – 27 – Bitter Water at Marah – Cross of Christ Jesus and leading a Christ-centered life will heal the bitterness in life, permanently! 

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.

Jesus came to seek and to save the lost

Leave a reply

Dear all, 

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

Word:

For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.1 Thes 4:7

But it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty that gives them understanding. Job 32:8

The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life. Job 33: 4

“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying, and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. Luke 7: 28-32

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. Luke 19:10

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1

I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10b

Thought: 

In His Time

I wait on God to bring to pass

All that He promised me

And as I wait, I rest in faith

For all, I cannot see

For in His way, He will provide

At just the perfect time

Everything that’s good and right

To bless this life of mine.

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:

1 In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. So, a man from Bethlehem in Judah, together with his wife and two sons, went to live for a while in the country of Moab. 2 The man’s name was Elimelek, his wife’s name was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to Moab and lived there. 3 Now Elimelek, Naomi’s husband, died, and she was left with her two sons. 4 They married Moabite women, one named Orpah and the other Ruth. After they had lived there about ten years, 5 both Mahlon and Kilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and her husband. 6 When Naomi heard in Moab that the Lord had come to the aid of his people by providing food for them, she and her daughters-in-law prepared to return home from there. Ruth 1: 1-6

Christ Jesus-centered decision makes us who we are!

Choose life in Christ Jesus! Instead of asking God to bless your plans, ask God to plan for you and your family, and your ministries. Please God always! He will never put our face in shame! May God give us the discerning Spirit and His wisdom to make the right choices at the right time.

Casting down the strongholds in Jesus’ name

Leave a reply

Casting down the strongholds in Jesus’ name

Strongholds are defined as “something” that holds you back from your walk with the LORD Jesus Christ. What is holding you back from receiving spiritual, emotional, or physical blessings?

According to the Word of God, it is possible to cast down the strongholds in Jesus’ name. In Luke 10: 20 says Jesus says “However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 says,

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

Let us do some self-analysis in the presence of God and make wise choices in our walk with the LORD. Whether we like it or not we are in the battle (Ephesians 6). Let us put on the full armor of God and fight the good fight.

 Hebrews 12: 1-3, says that, therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer, and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

“Fix your eyes on Jesus” – In any race there will be two important persons among many other people. Firstly, the starter – the person who says on your mark, set, go, and then the referee – the person who receives you at the finish line and gives the first place, second place, or third place cards. Remember in our Christian run LORD Jesus is running with us, and He knows how to carry us through the storm. We need faith and faith can move the mountains.
