God holds my future

My future is in God's hand and He says it is good! My job is to believe His word and be at rest.

I am not referring to a lifestyle of "resting" at home but a lifestyle of rest from within even in the midst of the fiercest battle at the office. Right smack in the centre of a situation that's seemed impossible to overcome, we can be restful within and trust God for His deliverance. Hallelujah!

The bible says the path of the righteous shall shine brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. That can mean our future, in the hand of God, can only get better with each passing day. The bible also tells us God only has good thoughts toward His people and a future of hope.

This hope is not the same hope of the world where it implies uncertainty of the outcome in the future. This hope is bible hope where it is confident and joyful expectation of good, or good happenings in one bible translation.

We can hope our future is bright and full of the blessings of the Almighty God! Regardless of what we are going through now, our future in Christ can only be good! That's the promise in the bible and the word of God is truth and it will not return to God void.

If we are experiencing some form of incurable diseases, look to the bronzed serpent that was judged so that whosoever looks at the bronzed serpent will be healed and will not die! For by His stripe, we are already the healed of the Lord.

If we are facing some financial lacks, be assured that we will be delivered out of the financial lack soon and we will have the wisdom to create and protect our wealth. This is the promise of God for Jesus Christ was made poor at the cross that we through His poverty shall be made rich. That's material blessings!

Trust and believe God for He holds our future and our future can only be good for God is in control of it. He has prepared a way for me to follow. Hallelujah!

God keeps His covenant

God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son to die for the world that whosoever believes His son shall be saved and have live more abundantly.

Jesus died at the cross for the divine exchange of taking our place of sin so that we can take His place of righteousness at the right hand of Almighty God, our Abba Father.

Also, as a result of the divine exchange at the cross, we are been drafted into the kingdom of God and hence sons and daughters of God. As Christ is, so are we in this world. Expect to live life abundantly for our God will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

But why must Jesus be crucified at the cross?

It was because of the covenant God cut with Abraham. In that covenant, Abraham didn't walk across the blood line of the slaughtered animals but it was Jesus and God the Father who walked across the blood line in the opposite direction. As such, because of our sin, Jesus had to come as a human being to take the punishment of God at the cross on our behalf!

It is the grace of God that Jesus is a willing covenantal keeper. For at the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus had a choice to go back to the Heavenly Father but chose to fulfill His Father's will to sacrifice Himself on our behalf.

And because of Jesus' finished work at the cross. We can expect good to happen to us for Jesus had taken all the bad upon Himself at the cross.

He had redeemed us from the curse of the law and also to bless us with every spiritual blessing to enjoy. Today, we can live the abundant life because Jesus had made us the righteousness of God in Him!

Proclaim with confidence all the promises in the bible are yes and amen and expect good things to happen in our lives. Hallelujah!
