#Messiahhascome!

#Messiahhascome - They came from the far east. They undertook a very long journey. They traveled with determination and great anticipation. They decoded the comic sign which announced the coming of the Savior of the world and the Lord of life...
This sign was a bright star which they followed diligently to the very doorstep of the house where Messiah was.
Having entered the house they saw... they bowed in worship and they offered gifts.
Now this is what God's presence does to us whenever we step before Him. We bow in worship and we offer our hearts, our lives, our time, our talents, our belongings, our resources, etc...
May you get to know the joy of offering everything you are and have to the Lord Jesus Christ as we remember his coming to earth to offer everything He is.
Amen!

#TheLawofChrist!

#TheLawofChrist - Here Paul is offering his closing remarks to the Galatians after addressing the doctrinal confusion that this church experienced from Judaism inviting them back to the observance of the law of Moses which was centered on personal performance in the keeping of God's moral law plus the tradition of the elders handed down over many generations.
On this specific verse he invites them, and us today, to bear each other's burden as the Law of Christ requires of us.
What is this law of Christ?
Walk in love! Love God and Love your Neighbor.
This is the law of Christ.
What burden is the community of believers required to share amongst themselves?
ALL BURDENS!
Starting with Spiritual Burden by praying for one another, adding Emotional Burden by sharing our emotional state and supporting each other emotionally where the need arises, and finally Physical Burden by lending a helping hand when needed and why not, sharing a meal together in joyful fellowship.
Take this to heart beloved and fulfill the LAW OF CHRIST.
Amen!

#Praying&Singing!

#Praying&Singing - James offers us Pastoral remedies to the lows and highs of life. This advice is very capital to help believers navigate safely and responsibly through life's both end of the emotional spectrum. Yes, both pain and pleasure left unchecked can lead to sin or even death.
Hence, to avoid the extremes of suicidal thoughts in our pain, we must pray! Likewise to avoid the extreme of compulsive addictive behaviors in our happy days, we must sing praises to God to keep us close to Him and away from the dangerous waters of secular hedonism.

#ABIDEINME!

This invitation of Christ clearly tells us that a victorious and fruitful Christian living necessitates a permanent or continuous connection to the author and source of Eternal Life, even Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
One can argue that this statement of Christ does not limit itself at securing our fruitfulness in the kingdom but also can serve as the determining factor of whether we belong to him or not.
Remember Paul? Workout your own salvation with fear and trembling?
So, once again if we love Him, we must abide in Him! How! you ask? Joshua 1:8.
Where do you stand? Selah!

#GodsExpectations!

#GodsExpectation - It is a fallacy to think of God as a tyrannical, over-controling and micromanaging ruler with unrealistic expectations, whose desire is to entrapped or imprison us into an ignorant and unfulfilled state of being. This fallacy is what the devil presented Adam and Eve with to turn them away from God.
But God is a loving Father who has his children's best interest in mind when He instructs them to follow Him and His ways. This is how we heal our world from all ills.
Do justice, Love kindness and Walk humbly with God. Selah!
If you are born again, there is no other way to live than this. If you are an unbeliever, understand that God's goal is not to take the fun out of your life. Rather, His desire is to give you a purpose driven life with great fulfillment as you come to know the one who made you and who has a plan for your life. Hear His voice, trust in Him, walk with Him... it shall be well with you!

#TrustGod!

#TrustGod - God alone is the Unshakable Shaker. All else is sinking sand. These past months unfortunately have made this fact abundantly clear. Our health, wealth, life, relations, governments, social order and rest can never be considered as inherently stable and safe. When a shaking like the one the world is going through happens, God alone remains the true constant because as the Rock of Ages, He naturally is the unchanging expression of stability, constance, peace and security.
You may be in a place where the recent world event has destroyed life as you knew it. Your world has completely been torn apart and you are blaming God for it. Please don't rush to the conclusions Satan is feeding your mind with. God is a tender loving Father with outstretched hands still saying to you "I am all you've got, We can't quit on each other now. Come forth, I am for you, let me show you what needs to take place next."
Just open your mouth and speak to Him right now... you will realize that He alone is indeed worthy of your trust.
TRUST IN GOD!
