Are we caught up with materialism? Who/what is ruling our hearts?

Leave a reply

Dear Friends in Christ,

Wish you all a Christ centered Christmas. Remember Christ Jesus is the reason for this season!

Word:

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. Luke 21: 33-34

Thought: Are we caught up with materialism? Who/what is ruling our hearts?

If we replace Christ with anything else that becomes idol worship.

Our role model is Christ and He lived a humble and holy life. Do we have humbleness in our hearts?

Today is the day of Salvation. Turn to Jesus and He will change our hearts.

Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a blessed new-year 2016.
Be strong and glad!
Stand firm in Christ

Listening and Doing

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: – My-grace-is-sufficient-for-you
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.

Do you put into action what you have studied?

Have a Victorious walk in Christ

God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted

Leave a reply

Dear all,
Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10
Word: God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5: 4
Thought: Each beatitude tells us how to be blessed by God. Blessed means more than happiness. Worldly happiness is based on happenings. But God’s Kingdom valued happiness for those who put their trust in Christ Jesus is based on joy and peace, no matter what the circumstances are.

Aroma of Christ

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
Aroma of Christ Jesus:
Word: Thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. II Corinthians 2: 14
Thought: Life does have a sweet fragrance – remember the sweetness of a rose. How much more is “the fragrance of Christ Jesus”. Believers recognize the life giving fragrance of the message.

Spiritual Rebirth In Christ Jesus

Leave a reply

Dear all,
Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Word: Heart of the Gospel:
Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, Truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God”. John 3: 3
37
Thought: To Know Him is to Love Him – Deuteronomy 34: 10 and Colossians 1: 15-20
What do I know about God?
1. Knowing Christ Jesus is expressed in “Belief” in Christ now and eternally. Prayer is the power of that “Belief”. Plug in to the prayer power.
2. Life is God’s gift for the exercising of that “Belief” and is given one day at a time.
3. Looking back in our lives we should be able to see Christ character and nature increasing and our nature decreasing.

Compassion of Christ Jesus

Leave a reply

Dear all,
Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10
Word: Matthew 9: 35-38
36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

Thought:
one shep
As followers of Christ Jesus, our lives should resemble the life of Christ Jesus- having the same priorities, values and concerns. Pray to God for a heart of Compassion to see our community, city and world like the way Jesus sees them, to carry the gospel empowered with the power of Holy Spirit.

Approach God’s throne of grace with confidence in Christ Jesus

Leave a reply

Dear all,
Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Word: Hebrews 4: 16; Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4: 16

Thought: Prayer is our approach to God. The answer from God for our Prayers may be “Yes”, “No” or may be even “wait” – Spiritual maturity and the multidimensional growth process is progressive in our continuous walk in Christ Jesus.

My Father’s house

Leave a reply

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

John 14:2 (NIV)
My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
Full Chapter: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+14
Thought: Christ Jesus’s words show that the way to eternal life, though unseen, is secure – as secure as your trust in Jesus. He has already prepared the way to eternal life.

1. Have we made our “reservation” at the “place He has prepared for us”?

2. Are we resting in Christ Jesus?

Jealousy ???

Leave a reply

Dear all,

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

Word:

8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.”[d] While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”

“I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

10 The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.

Thought:

Jealousy can be difficult to recognize because our reasons for it seem to make sense. But left unchecked jealousy can grow quickly and lead to sequences of sins.

When our attitude is like Christ Jesus’s (Phil 2:5) we will serve God and others out of love.

Stand firm in Christ
