Jesus is my all in all

Greater is He who is in me than he who is of the world. The Holy Spirit dwells within me as a proof of Jesus' finished work at the cross. With that ONE sacrificial act some 2000 years ago, all my sins are been forgiven. I have been made the righteousness of God in Christ.

When God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus to die on the cross, He had sent the One who is the most precious in God's eyes. The bible says that we are in Christ and Christ is in us, sinners who were saved by Jesus. We are seated at the right of God for we are in Christ. Hallelujah! If you we can fully comprehend what it means to be in Christ and Christ in me.

God had given Jesus to us to die on the cross. With Him, God had given all the provisions that we need. Jesus had bore all our diseases and illnesses so that we, sons and daughters of God, will and "having" divine health. We can proclaim wholeness into our lives for our speech has power. The bible says that death and life are in the power of the tongue. The more we proclaim health and wholeness into our lives, the more we will see health and wholeness in our lives. Proclaim good and we will see good.

Jesus was made poor at the cross so that we through His poverty will be made rich. If we are going through some dire situations in the area of finances, trust Jesus for His provision in that area. He is already working behind the scene to turn things around for our own good. He had already provided everything from the foundation of the earth. He is the answer. Our job is to believe Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.

Trust in our loving Abba Father. Believe in the willing Son. Allow the Holy Spirit to work mightily in us. To lead us, always, into victorious situations. To guide us in our path of righteousness. To quicken our mortal bodies so that our youth is been renewed like the eagle's. Hallelujah.

The steadfast love of God

The bible says that God is love. His love for His people & His children will never change.

As I was heading towards my office this morning, I felt the heat from the weather. As I didn't want to perspire too much by walking to my office from the MRT station I decided to take a bus, for there is a bus stop very near my office building. I waited at the bus stop for about twenty five minutes & seeing that the bus I wanted to board had't arrive, I decided to walk to my office instead.

Just after lunch, it started to rain & rained quite heavily. I was thinking how fast the weather had changed. It was bright & sunny one moment & dark & stormy the next. It resembles some of our situations that we may be going through.

Sometimes we experience all kinds of breakthrough in a season. And then we go through valleys of our lives. Circumstances may change, but the love of God will never change. Give praise & worship God when the going is strong. Give thanks to God when the going is tough.

God displayed His love for the human race at the cross. Jesus was crucified at the cross to divinely exchange His position of righteousness for our position of sin. There is no greater love than this for Jesus died for us while we were sinners. God loves us while we were still sinners. What more now that we are His beloved children.

What's in God's heart?

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

That is possibly what God is thinking all the time. He wants us to prosper, and to be in robust health as our souls prosper. He wants us to be so filled of Jesus and His finished work at the cross that we will know Jesus will take care of us in every aspect of our lives, that He is vitally involved in our daily activities.

God is not a God who is far far away in Heaven that we have to be really good in order to be right with Him. He wants to be so close to us that He sent His Holy Spirit to dwell in us. He wants us to filled of the Holy Spirit so that our every word and action is guided and directed by the Holy Spirit. He has His word for us in the bible to know more of Jesus, to have a fresh revelation of Jesus daily.

God only has good thoughts toward us. He wants us to come to Him boldly. He wants to commune with us every moment. He loves us so much as to send His only begotten Son to divinely exchange His position with us at the cross.

Be bold to go to Abba Father for even the smallest thing that bothers us, for He cares. Nothing is too small or too big for our God. Put our trust in Him and He will see us through. Hallelujah!

Believing believer

"Foolishness and slow of heart to believe."

These are the two indictment facing the modern churches. We are unaware of our inheritance in Christ and, even if we do, are slow to believe. We simply do not believe that God is good to us even though He is.

All the promises in the bible are ours to proclaim. Health and wholeness is our entitlement for Christ had finished the sacrificial work at the cross. Before Jesus was crucified, he had bequeathed His shalom peace to us. We are made rich through the act at the cross for you know, by the grace of God, though Jesus was rich, He was made poor at the cross that we through His poverty shall be made rich.

Yet, some of us Christians believe we should be poor to be "Holy". Some of us believe that we need to live a life of that is completely deprived of material possessions. The bible says God freely gives us all things to enjoy. For example, if we need a bigger house because of the expanding family, He will want to bless us will a bigger house. If we need to move around with ease because of young children in the family, it is okay for us to have a car to move around conveniently.

It is funny to hear Christians saying that they are suffering from a certain disease or illness because God is teaching them a lesson. If that is the case, why are they going to the doctors to get well? They are just disobeying God's instruction for them! By His stripe, we have been made whole. Jesus wants us to have robust health. Free from pain and illness.

We are the beloved in Christ. Believe His finished work at the cross. Believe in His love for us. Have a good opinion of God. Believe right and you will live right. Hallelujah.

The prodigal son

Many of us would have heard the story of the prodigal son in the bible many times. Some of us could even verbatim the details of the story. However, how many of us really appreciate and fully understand the meaning behind this story? (By the way, I have yet to fully appreciate and understand why God put the prodigal son story in the bible.)

When I first read the story of the prodigal son, I quickly jumped to the conclusion that the father shouldn't have taken in his second son so easily and willingly without any condition imposed on the second son to behave himself in the future. I felt the second son is undeserving of the lavish love the father had shown towards him.

As the Lord opens my eyes to the story through the teaching of Pastor Prince over the years, I begins to see more than what I had understood when I first read the story.

As a matter of fact, all of us are the "prodigal son" before we accept the Lord into our lives. We were doing all kinds of thing to be right with God. We were ignorant of the perfect love of God. For God so loved us that He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to die for us at the cross so that we can live lives more abundantly.

Oh, how lavish is God's love! He loves us even when we were sinners. The moment we accept Jesus as Lord in our lives, He pours forth His love into our lives. He made us sons and daughters of the most high God and not servants. He called us into His kingdom which He had prepared for us. Everything had been completed for us Christians to live a plentiful live. Hallelujah!

Mistaken identity

Who are we in Christ? Do we really know who we are in Christ?

If only we truly know in our hearts who we really are in Christ, we will reign in life. We will be talking things befitting of our heavenly royalty. We will be doing things deserving of kings and priests. We will be behaving like a king priest.

Knowing we are king priests, what we say shall come to pass, if we do not doubt it. Whatever good that we proclaim in our lives shall come to pass for there is authority in the speech of king priest.

How do we know who we are in Christ? The answer: look to the cross. Jesus was crucified at the cross on our behalf so that we can take His place at the right hand of God. He was rich yet was made poor at the cross that we through His poverty shall be made rich. His body took all our diseases and infirmities at the cross that through His broken body, we are made whole. His blood was shed for our sins at the cross so we can be made righteous before God.

Make no mistake regarding our true identity. We are kings, and we are priest. Live lives worthy of our royal priesthood.

What are you conscious of today?

When we wake up today, what are we conscious of? Are we conscious of the difficult challenges that lie ahead? Are we conscious of the pain and symptom of our bodies? Are we conscious of the meagre balance in our bank account?

What are we really conscious of each day when we wake up? Or, Who are we conscious of when we wake up each day? The bible tells us to be Christ conscious. When we are Christ conscious, the challenges shall be resolved. When we see Jesus at the cross and realised that we're the healed of the Lord, the pain and symptom will be no more. When we know that the Almighty God was made poor that we through His poverty might be made rich, we shall be poor no more.

At the cross, Jesus died to take our place of sin so we might take His place of righteousness. At the cross, he took all our sicknesses and diseases that we might be whole and well. At the cross, He had nothing that we will have all things to enjoy, today.

The more we are conscious of Christ in me, the more we will experience the life of Christ in me. Be at rest for He had bequeathed His shalom to us. Be Christ conscious today, for He is the author and finisher of our faith.
