The Messenger - Jesus Christ!

 Dearest Christ followers, the coming of Jesus was foretold many times in the Old Testament.

A lot of the prophecies were relevant to the particular time of the Bible, but also foretold of the first and second coming of the LORD.

This is why we can be sure that our SAVIOUR, JESUS CHRIST, indeed, came to earth as a man and fulfilled all those prophecies. And it also foretells of the second coming of Jesus Christ. 

Jesus will come to this earth to rule and to reign.  First, I believe, HE will come to fetch all believers in the clouds and take them with HIM to Heaven whilst the tribulation takes place.

Then HE will return to this earth and all believers shall return with HIM to reign on earth for a thousand years.

All of this is going to happen.  The point is, are we ready to go with HIM at a moment's notice?  If not, then let us repent, believe and be saved - ready to go to Heaven at any time.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I humbly thank YOU that YOU have given us YOUR word that YOU will come to this earth again.  FATHER, help me to be ready to go with YOU at any time.  I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!

Heaven or Hell!

 Dearest Christ followers, we are all promised eternal life.  Our FATHER does not lie.  And this was promised to all of us before time began.

The point is not that we have eternal life, the point is, where are we going to spend it.  And here is the rub.  There is only Heaven or hell.  The choice is ours.

Repent, believe in Jesus and spend eternity in Heaven, or continue in your unbelief and set your compass to spend eternity in hell.

Choose JESUS today!

There is no work to be done to get into Heaven.  JESUS did it all on the Cross.  Jesus has paid for the punishment that we should receive for our sins.  What we have to do is to accept this free gift of Grace, given on the Cross through the blood of our SAVIOUR, freely given to you and me.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, good and gracious, loving and merciful, thank YOU for JESUS CHRIST and the way to Heaven.  I thank YOU in the Holy Name of JESUS CHRIST.  My Saviour, my Redeemer.  Amen.

Stay thankfully Jesus Blessed today!

A new heart for GOD!

 Dearest Christ followers, we need to be so grateful to our FATHER in Heaven for all that HE has done for us.

When we accept Jesus Christ, when we have repented, GOD sends HIS Holy Spirit to live in us.

The Holy Spirit brings with HIM the promise of comfort.  HE is our ever-present help in times of trouble.

But more than that, the Holy Spirit starts to work in us to create a new heart, a heart for GOD.  The Holy Spirit convicts us when and where we sin.  The Holy Spirit changes our hearts and makes them more compassionate and makes us more like Jesus and less like the world. 

That is why each and every day we need to remember to ask GOD to fill us anew with HIS Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit is working in us.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, today, I humbly ask that YOU fill me anew with YOUR Holy Spirit.  I ask that YOU overwhelm me with YOUR Holy Spirit.  I ask this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!

Everything belongs to our FATHER!

 Dearest Christ followers, in this beautiful verse, we are reminded that everything in Heaven and on the earth, including the earth is the property of our FATHER in Heaven.

Therefore, our FATHER should be exalted above and on earth.  Our FATHER not only created all of this, HE let us have the earth to live on and to reign over.  

What we need to do is to give our FATHER all the glory, the majesty and the power.

Today, let us stop and consider whether we give our FATHER the glory HE truly deserves.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, who art in Heaven, truly Hallowed by THY name.  THY kingdom come, THY will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

FATHER, we give YOU all the power, the glory and the majesty today.  We humbly pray all this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!

Saved by grace through faith!

 Dear Christ followers, we have been saved by the GRACE of GOD through our faith in Jesus Christ.

There is nothing we can do to be saved.  We can only believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of GOD, our Redeemer, our SAVIOUR.

Grace is freely given by GOD to everyone who calls upon the Name of Jesus Christ as their SAVIOUR.

Grace is not given to us because we are good people, or because we have earned it.  It is free gift of GOD to all who accept Jesus as the Messiah.

Therefore no one can boast that they have somehow earned their way into the grace of our FATHER.  Therefore today, no matter what you have done in the past, no matter how much you sinned, you can repent, believe in Jesus and be saved and you will become a child of GOD.

It really is that simple!

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I humbly thank YOU that I believe in Jesus Christ as my LORD, my SAVIOUR and my REDEEMER.  I humbly thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay simply Jesus Blessed today!

Our ALMIGHTY GOD!

 Dearest Christ followers, our GOD loves each one of us.  And once we have accepted Jesus, we are children of GOD, co heirs of the Kingdom of Heaven, along with our SAVIOUR, Jesus Christ.

Through the blood of Jesus, we are presented to GOD sinless and blameless and justified.

If we give our will over to the WILL of GOD, GOD is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think.

The power of GOD can work in our lives as soon as we surrender our will to HIS.

Today, let us resolve to ask only according to the WILL of GOD.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for giving me a SAVIOUR - JESUS CHRIST. I thank YOU.  Today I humbly ask that THY Will be done in my life and not my will. I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay powerfully Jesus Blessed today!

Be completely humble!

 Dearest Christ followers, this is such a beautiful exhortation by Paul.  We should all take this to heart.

We are living in such dark times and people are experiencing so many challenges on so many fronts.

Many of us are battling something or another.  Either on personal or in business, there are so many areas that are unclear and worrisome.

However, as children of GOD, despite all that we are dealing with, we still need to remain completely humble and gentle.  Being patient with one another and bearing with one another in love.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for reminding me that I need to be humble and gentle.  FATHER please help me to be more and more like Jesus each and every day.  I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay humbly Jesus blessed today! 

People of light!

 Dearest Christ followers, in this passage above Paul writes that as people of the light, we need to live as people of the light.  We need to produce only what is good and righ and true.

Whilst we are born sinful, we cannot accept Jesus Christ as our LORD and SAVIOUR, and then continue in our old sinful ways.

We will always be sinners on earth, but we can sin less.  We can start by repentance of our sins and asking our FATHER in Heaven to fill us with HIS Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit convicts us of our sins and we will be called to repentance whenever we sin.

What we need to do is to concentrate our efforts of becoming true children of GOD.  We can stop and think, when we are tempted, and ask ourselves what Jesus would do.

That should always be our barometer.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that I am YOUR child.  FATHER please fill me anew with YOUR Holy Spirit and convict me when I am tempted to sin.  I humbly ask this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay faithfully Jesus Blessed today!

Pray always!

Dearest Christ followers, we are to pray always and about everything.  GOD loves us and GOD wants a living, loving relationship with each and every one of us.  Prayer is communing with our FATHER in an intimate way.

Our prayer connects us to GOD and grows our faith.  Only through prayer can we our relationship with our FATHER stronger.

Prayer gives us the time to talk to our FATHER to tell HIM how much we love HIM.  It gives us a chance to tell HIM our thoughts.  It is an opportunity to ask for forgiveness where we have sinned.  Prayer is also the mechanism through which we can make known our requests to our FATHER.

And yes, our FATHER knows what we need, but HE still wants us to ask HIM so that where our prayer is answered, it can give glory to our FATHER.

Prayer is about glorifying our FATHER through our own free will.  It is the basis for growing our faith.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU are always listening to my prayers.  FATHER I thank YOU for YOUR grace and favour.  I humbly thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay faithfully, prayerfully, Jesus blessed today!

A work in progress!

 Dearest Christ followers, we are all a work in progress once we become children of GOD.

What we need to do daily is to build our relationship with our FATHER in Heaven through prayer, daily reading of our Bibles and learning to let GOD have HIS will in our lives, rather than doing things in our own wills.

If we fully surrender our lives to GOD, we will ultimately be complete in Jesus Christ.  But we are human and frail, and we want things in our time and in our way.

Every day we therefore need to ask GOD to fill us anew with HIS Holy Spirit.  We need to pray for GOD's will to be done and not our will.

We need to learn to defer to GOD about each and every aspect of our lives.  That we give our FATHER the chance to complete what has begun in our lives when we believed in Jesus Christ.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that I am YOUR child.  FATHER fill me anew with YOUR Holy Spirit.  FATHER, I pray that THY will and not my will be done in my life.  This I humbly pray in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay humbly Jesus Blessed today!

The full armour of GOD!

Dearest Christ followers, as this world grows dimmer and darker, we need to have the full armour of GOD to be able to withstand the wiles of satan.

We need to have all the tools of a Christ follower to be able to contend with anything that comes our way daily.

We need to be equipped with the following:

• The belt of TRUTH.
• The breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS.
• The readiness of the GOSPEL of PEACE.
• The shield of FAITH.
• The sword of the SPIRIT- the WORD of GOD.
• The helmet of SALVATION.

This is what Paul writes in order for us to be prepared for the onslaught that we are facing.

For it is as he says : "we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and the powers against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places".

Be prepared and ready to stand strong in Jesus Christ. 

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that I can don YOUR full armour on a daily basis.  FATHER help me to stand strong each and every day.  I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay gracefully Jesus Blessed today!
