“Obedience is not the root of salvation but the fruit of salvation.”

Dear all,

May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. II Peter 1: 2

Word: So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works[a]miracles among you, do it by the works of [b]the Law, or by [c]hearing with faith? Galatians 3: 5

ThoughtObedience is not the root of salvation but the fruit of salvation. 

The greatest miracle of the Spirit is faith, freedom from the bondage of thinking if you do not do all the Law there is condemnation, separation from God. By God’s grace (favor) to us the Law points out our sin so we can change our direction and honor God and His Word by obeying.

Grace under Pressure

Dear all,

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

Word: Grace under Pressure

Matthew 26: 50 – 54

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+26%3A50-54&version=NIV

 

Thought: In the midst of a violent attack, Peter and Jesus responded in dramatically different ways. Peter reached out with a sword and returned violence for violence. Jesus reached out his hand and offered healing. Let us look to Jesus because he is the source of our wisdom to lead a Christ centered life. Let God use us as a channel of blessings to many nations.

‘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.

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

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.

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.

By Prayer we are strengthened in our Spirit

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

By Prayer we are strengthened in our Spirit. Acts 1: 8

The word of God is the food by which prayer is nourished and made strong. – E. M. Bounds

Faith in Christ Jesus transforms our attitude

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: Genuine faith: What good is it does brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show by your actions? Can that kind of faith save any one? James 2: 4
63
Thought: True faith in Christ Jesus transforms our attitude, thought life, character, conduct and speech pattern. Let us put God’s word into action in our lives, making it a vital guide for everything we do.

Faith and Deeds

Dear all,
Praise the LORD.
Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10
Word: James 2:14-17 – Faith and Deeds – What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

Thought:
How clearly do our actions say we really love others? Are we as generous as we should be with our time, possessions and money.

Jesus among His Disciples – Peace be with you

Dear all,
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Word: Jesus among His Disciples
19 So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you. John 20: 19-21
Full Chapter: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2020&version=NIV;NASB
Thought: Is there any area you are not believing in God? Is there any area in your life that Jesus would say “stop doubting and believe”? Is there something you have not seen – yet want to believe today?

The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him

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: 51 Lam 3:25
Thought: The Glory of God comes to all, those who are waiting. We may be in the bend of the road not in the end of the road. Let us ask God to give us perseverance and courage for this Journey.

Planted, Rooted and Growing in Christ Jesus

Dear all,
Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10
Word: Luke 5:3-5
He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat. When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”
Thought: God wants us to learn deep lessons, to teach us patience and enable us to learn to trust in Him. 70.
