Casting all your cares upon Him for He cares

Cast all your cares upon Jesus for He cares.

The bible says that we ought to cast ALL our cares upon Jesus for He is willing, and able to resolve all our problems. The bible also says that the accuser of the brethen goes about devouring those who he can devour. Who are those which he can devour? It is those who still, trusting their own effort to solve their issues, hold on to the cares of their hearts.

Sometimes, we think that we should only "bother" God with only the big issues that we have no resolution. We feel that we are more than capable to tackle the "simple" cares of our lives. We should cast ALL our cares upon Jesus for He is able. We honour the finished work at by Jesus when we cast all our cares upon him.

Maybe some of us are going through a challenging time dealing with marital issues. Maybe some of us are experiencing lack in our finances. Perhaps some of us are feeling the symptoms of a dreaded disease. Or it is something as simple as choosing where to eat for lunch. Whatever big or small the issue may be, we are to leave it at the feet of Jesus and allow Him to work miracle in that situation.

Nothing is impossible for God. He loves us so much that He wants us to have a Christ-filled life. Trust in the Lord who loves dearly.

Beware of the accuser!

The devil is called the thief for he comes to steal. He is called the murderer for he comes to kill. He is called the destroyer for he comes to destroy. What exactly is he stealing from us? What is it that he wants to kill in us? And what is it that he wants to destroy about us?

The thief comes to steal the word of God from Christians. If he is able to steal the word of God from us, he will be able to steal anything from us. He will be able to steal our shalom from our hearts. Our hearts will not be at rest for the word of God no longer resides in our hearts.

The murderer comes to kill the joy of the Lord in our lives. He comes to wreck havoc in our lives. He goes around seeking those he can "gum" to death for he had been de-fanged by Christ Jesus.

The destroyer comes to destroy our lives. He doesn't want Christians to be victorious in their lives. For he knows that should Christians come to the realization that we are victorious in Christ, he stranglehold on Christians will be gone.

Most importantly, the devil is called the accuser of the brethren. He uses the law to accuse us. If we are doing something wrong, he will accuse us of that wrong doings. If we are doing something right, he will accuse us of not doing enough. He will always try to bring us to a state of condemnation. A state of self-condemnation. For he knows, there can be no punishment for someone who is not guilty. As long we are conscious of the condemnation and guilt Jesus had borne at the cross, there shall be no punishment on our lives. There shall be no guilt feeling in our lives.

The moment we feel condemned, we are no longer conscious of the finished work of Christ at the cross. We will look within ourselves to provide for our needs. We will look within ourselves to right what's wrong that had taken place. We will depend on our self-effort to achieve what we want in our lives.

Remember the devil has only one weapon in his arsenal: accusation! Give no weight to his accusation and be conscious of Jesus' finished work at the cross all day long and we will experience the life that Christ had come to give. A Zoe life that Christ had accomplished at the cross for us. Experience that Zoe life and reign in life.
