See Jesus in everything

In all things, Jesus should have the pre-eminence. For He is Alpha and
Omega, the author and finisher of our faith.

Whatever situation we are going through, always see Jesus in that
situation. He can make all things good even those things may seem to be
terrible at the moment and there seems to no light at the end of the
tunnel.

In the midst of a perfect storm, be conscious of Jesus' presence in that
perfect storm. Be conscious of our righteousness in Christ Jesus. There is
nothing too big that God cannot manage. Jesus is the Almighty God. Nothing
is impossible to Him and I can do all thiings through Christ who
strengthens me.

When the image of Jeus in us is so big, the treat of a challenging
situation will be small when compared to the full confidence in Christ.
Just know Jesus is working behind the scene to make sure we come out of
every bad situation victorious.

When we bring Jesus into the situation, the situation will have to bow to
Jesus and turn for the better. For Jesus is above all names and things.

Joshua and Caleb saw the goodness of their God and His wonderful promise to
bring them in into the promised land for they have a different spirit. They
see their God as a good God who will keep His promise to His people. The
other ten spies saw the enemy as larger than what their God can do for
them. Their unbelief caused the children of Israel to wonder in the
wilderness for forty years!

When the children of Israel was fighting the Philistines at the valley of
Elah, the army of Israel was afraid of the giants of the Philistines. But,
David saw the goodness and mercy of His God. He was furious at the remarks
made by the Philistines for he was conscious of his right standing with God
and he was able to defect the giant Goliath with just one smooth stone.

When we are conscious of Jesus' wonderful work at the cross, bad situation
becomes good. When we believe right, there is heart transformation and we
will eventually live right. See Jesus in our every endeavour and see
victory been accomplished by Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!

Trust God's Grace

It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man.

When we trust in God's unmerited, unearned and undeserved favour, we are
under the secret place of the most high. All blessings are ours to
proclaim. We are far from evil and no plague shall come near our house.

In the old testament, Abraham lived under the grace of the almighty God.
God made him very rich and he lived a long good life! Even when he had made
mistakes, God didn't punish him but instead turn those mistakes into
something good for Abraham, making him very rich in the process.

When Ishmael was born to Hagar, God didn't punish Abraham for his lack of
faith but blessed the generations of Ishmael, even though that is not the
best plan God had for Abraham. Years later, Sarah gave birth to Isaac, the
child of the promise. For out of Isaac lineage comes Jesus Christ, our Lord
and Saviour.

When the great grandson of Abraham, Joseph was sent to Egypt, he didn't
resent his brothers for doing evil to him but instead praised and thanked
God for preparing him for the great famine. Joseph trusted in God's grace
and he prospered in everything he did. Even the pharoah made him the second
man in command right after him.

Years later God's grace provided food and clothing for the children of
Israel in the wilderness. Even though they murmured before Mount Sinai,
they were provided for in everything. They had the pillar of cloud in the
day to keep them cool and they had the pillar of fire in the evening to
keep them warm. God provided all their needs and would have continue to do
so for He is a gracious God had they not requested for God's law.

We, the beloved of the Lord, should come under the grace of God and not put
ourselves under His law. For Christ had fulfilled the law at the cross
thousand years ago. With that complete act, we are called the sons of God.
We have being reconciled with God through the divine exchange, accomplished
by Jesus Christ, at the cross.

We should live life knowing God will provide for our every need. He has
blessed us with every spiritual blessing. The grace of the Lord will make
us rich and healthy. The grace of the Lord will cause us to live long. The
grace of the Lord will make us the head and not the tail.

Trust in Gos's grace in our lives. He will make all things beautiful in His
time for us. Live life worry-free and just enjoy God's abundant grace in
our lives. Hallelujah!

What Are We Building Our House On?

The bible says that those who build their house on Christ the solid Rock
will be stable in times of trial and prosecution.

What does it mean to build our house on Christ? It means to rely on Jesus
Christ our Saviour and Redeemer for our every want and need. It means to
trust Him in our every endeavour. It means to see Him in His amazing grace
for us via the finished work at the cross. It means to be righteous
conscious and not law conscious.

For Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. The devine exchange
has taken place at the cross. Jesus had exchanged His position of righteous
for my position of sin. With that one finished work at the cross, I have
been drafted into the kingdom of God. I now have Sonship with God.

Cursed is He who hangs on the tree. Christ has redeemed us from all curses.
All blessings are yes and amen in Christ. We just have to proclaim
blessings in our lives.

When we look to Jesus as the answer to our every need, we are building our
houses on solid Rock. When the foundation is Christ Jesus, no storm or even
earthquake can move our houses. When we trust in Jesus to provide for our
every need, we shall not lack. When we place our family in Jesus' hand, the
relationship shall be blessed. When we put our career in His hand, our
career shall be blessed.

When we put our health in His hand, we shall be healthy and strong and our
youthfullness shall be renewed like the eagle's. When we put our finances
in His hand, we shall be blessed with more than enough to be a blessing.
Whatever is put in Jesus' hand shall be blessed.

When Jesus touches our minds, we shall have no fear. We shall be far from
oppression. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of
love and of a sound mind. Just build and keep building our house on Christ
the solid Rock. Hallelujah!

Enjoy God's love over and over again

Abba Father loves me more than I love myself. This is so evidenced by
the finished work at the cross by Christ Jesus.

This Agape love is unconditional. For even when we were still sinners,
Christ died for us. It is not our good behaviour that merits His love
for us. It is not our good work that earns His favour on us. It is
definitely not good thought that put us in the kingdom of God.

What qualifies me for this unearned and unmerited favour IS His love for
me! For by His grace, I have been saved and made whole through His only
begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! When I believe this eternal
truth, I begin to exhibit good behaviours. I do good for I know I am the
righteousness of God in Christ. And I have good thoughts both toward God
and men for He first has good thoughts toward me. What a wonderful love
relationship with Abba Father. Such tender loving care from the One who
never fails.

Just a few days ago, I had the opportunity to "play" with my son,
Johanan, on a escalator at a shopping mall. He likes to just step on the
escalator and be "carried" by it up and down. Of course I was there
beside him to hold him and to carry him off at the tail end of the
escalator. He was trilled just been able to stand on the escalator. I
was very joyful and grateful to be able to share this wonderful bond and
joy between father and son. It brought me great joy to just see my son
being so happy to be able to "play" on the escalator.

While Johanan was happy he was able to enjoy the escalator ride, I was
happy to be just with him all this while. Whenever he looked at me and
smile at me, my heart simply melted. How wonderful this is to be able to
enjoy your son. Johanan may not be aware how much joy he brings to me
when he simply just looks and smiles at me knowing I am by his side.

O! How wonderful is Abba Father to me. Being a natural father, I am
limited in my love for my son. But Daddy God has unlimited love for me.
He rejoices whenever I am rejoicing. He is happy to see me being happy
and joyous. Whenever I am reminded of Abba's love in my life, I am sure
it brings joy to Abba. Whenever I give thanks to and praise Him for His
grace, I believe it must have bring such wonderful feeling to God as
well. The more I trust in His grace for me, the more He is happy to
simply supply all my needs and much more!

Just enjoy God's great love over again. Don't look at the circumstances
around us. Focus of His love and grace for us. Hallelujah!
