God’s Mercy

God shows mercy and blesses those that seek Him.  According to Hebrews 11:6 God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him.  We all need to focus our hearts and our passion on Christ and the Glory of His Gospel.  We need to realize that God is coming soon to bring a New Heaven and a New Earth called Jerusalem which comes down from Heaven Revelation 3:12 says this and also says ” I will write upon him my new name”.  This describes the responsibility of God’s government in giving each person a new name. Obadiah 1:17 says that the kingdom will be the Lord’s.  According to Forerunner Commentary, “When God resurrects us into His Kingdom, He will give us names to designate our existence, nature, and responsibility in the Kingdom. We are assured of carrying God’s own name if we overcome sin. What a tremendous reward to bear His name for all eternity!”  Wouldn’t it be great to overcome sin.  The only way to overcome sin is through the blood of Jesus Christ and His mercy which he has upon those who He has saved.  We all need to reflect upon life and allow the spirit of the Lord to work within us so that we can become more and more like Him and reflect on His glory even more.   We need to always remember that our God is a mighty God.  God is a God of miracles and with Him all things are possible.  Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Trust in God

We need to have faith and trust in God deeply. Rely on God and He will open doors in your life. God will give you strength through every pain and every sorrow in your life. God’s power is not in the natural it’s in the supernatural. Without Christ you are weak but in Him you are strong. We all run a race called life God will bring you to the finish-line ahead of Satan. God loves me and you with an everlasting love. He loved us so much that He sent Jesus to die in our place. It is through Him we are blessed with the gift of eternal life. I’m thankful for that. Amen

Thy Kingdom

We need to all count on the Lord every day for renewed strength. Jesus is powerful and able to overcome all things. God will not let us down. God is faithful even when we are not. We should always trust in God so that He can give us the desires of our hearts. God’s spirit is working throughout the earth and the times we live in now might well be the latter days. Jesus could come back anytime!  Satan will be utterly destroyed after the return of Christ.  God will bring a renewed and restored earth. We need to wait just a short time for Christ and then our joys will last forever.  A famous person once said, “Great things come to those who wait.”  I have begun to realize this and that we as watchmen for Jesus should always be patient.  God is also waiting to save more souls and give more opportunities for people to get into His Kingdom. Luck 11:2 says, “And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.” Amen

Seek Him

God is a merciful creator who blesses those that seek Him. According to Hebrews 11:6 God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. We all need to focus our hearts and our passion on Christ and the Glory of His Gospel. We need to realize that God is coming soon to bring a New Heaven and a New Earth called New Jerusalem which comes down from Heaven Revelation 3:12 says this and also says ” I will write upon him my new name”. This describes the responsibility in God’s government in giving each person a new name. Obadiah 1:17 says that the kingdom will be the Lord’s. According to Forerunner Commentary, “When God resurrects us into His Kingdom, He will give us names to designate our existence, nature, and responsibility in the Kingdom. We are assured of carrying God’s own name if we overcome sin. What a tremendous reward to bear His name for all eternity!” It would be great to overcome sin. The only way to overcome sin is through the blood of Jesus Christ and His mercy which he has on those He has saved. We all need to reflect upon life and allow the spirit of the Lord to work within us so that we can become more and more like Him and reflect on His glory even more. We need to always remember that our God is a mighty God. He is a God of miracles and with Him all things are possible. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.

God is Faithful

God is always faithful even when we are not according to 2 Timothy 2:13, “If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.”  God loves and “We love him, because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19”  God cares deeply about us and we are His children. The death of Jesus Christ on the cross for our sins is the ultimate proof of God’s love for us. “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13” “For I handed down to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 1 Corinthians 15:3” “This is a trustworthy saying: If we die with him, we will also live with him. If we endure hardship, we will reign with him. If we deny him, he will deny us.  2 Timothy 2:11-13”. I am thankful that Christ died for my sins and that He provide his godhead by rising from the dead. May we all know God and Jesus who died for us. In His humble prayer Jesus said, “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. John 17:3” Amen

Heavenly Things

As, Christian’s we should focus on Heavenly things Paul tells us to live as citizens of Heaven. “Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, Ephesians 2:19” Romans 8:6 says, “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” So, it is important that we be mindful of God and the love that is in Christ Jesus and, “God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:9”. God desires for us to have a personal relationship with Him. Romans 4:21 says, “what he had promised, he was able also to perform.” We, can be confident that God will provide what we need and our hearts are in the right place when we trust in Him. I’m thankful for God’s unfailing love, provision and grace. Amen

Not Ashamed

Paul tells us in Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek” But, what does that mean? Well, it should really teach us that we should be eager to spread the Gospel. The message that Christ died and rose from the dead for our sins is a message of hope and love. The Gospel or “Good News” is for everyone that believes or will believe. The Christian Jews can and are saved through faith and so can everyone else! May we all know him and believe in Him. Amen

He’s The Way

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 It is through Jesus that we get to the Father and He is the only way to bridge the gap (that sin brings) and unite us to God.

Christ Overcame

“I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.” (John 16:33, MSG). When Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead, he overcame the world. Death was not the end of Him. While we shall face tough times Christ is with us, and we have hope in Jesus that He will always be there for us. I’m thankful that the God who overcame the world came as a man in Jesus and paid for my sin. Amen.

Jesus is Strong

“2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” Feeling weak is not a vice, but rather a time to lean on the Lord’s strength and find power in your relationship with Jesus. I’m thankful that where I’m weak Jesus is strong. Amen
