Bask In His Love

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.

Why is that when the Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want? The reason: the
Lord loves me. He doesn't just loves but so loves me that He wants to
provide for everything that I want or need with more than enough. He wants
to make sure all things will turn out for my good. He just wants me to
receive all that He is in my life.

How then do I receive? I can receive because I'm the righteous of God in
Christ Jesus! I receive by enjoying His love for me. I receive by being
restful in the Holy Spirit. I receive by just basking in His abundance
supplies. For the Lord shall supply all my needs according to the riches
and glory in Christ Jesus.

When God sent His only begotten Son to the cross, He had only one thing in
mind: to reconcile with mankind for He so loved them. The greatest
demonstration of God's love is shown at the cross. Jesus was crucified so
the we can divinely take His position of righteous while He took our state
of sin. Oh, what love is this! That God will send His only begotten Son to
die for sinful men so that through that one complete sacrifice, man will be
made righteous with God when he accepts the gift of salvation.

There is no way man can be made right with God through his sacrifice. Only
Jesus' sacrifice at the cross qualifies us to be righteous! Enjoy Abba
Father's abundance love and blessings in our lives. Hallelujah!

Jesus had done it all

What exactly did Jesus do when He was crucified at the cross?

Because of our sins, Jesus had willingly taken our place at the cross to take all of God's punishment. He had taken all God's wrath at the cross on our behalf. He had divinely exchanged His position of righteousness for our position of sin. He had qualified us to be seated at the right hand of God. He had given us the victory ground.

Jesus had borne our mental suffering at the garden of Gethsemane. He sweat blood so that we will have His peace of mind. So that we will have clarity of thought. So that we shall not be stressed for He had borne the stress of the mind on our behalf. When the crown of thorns was pressed unto His head, Jesus had redeemed us from painful thought.

Jesus was striped 39 times on our behalf. At the cross, He was burnt by God's wrath. And He was pierced on His side. All these were done so that we can be the healed of the Lord. All these were done so that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. All these were done so that we can have robust health.

At the cross, Jesus was devoided of all material possession. Even His robe of righteousness was gambled at the foot of the cross. By His grace, though He was rich yet He was made poor at the cross so that we through His poverty shall be made rich. So that we can enjoy all material blessings. So that we lack nothing in our life time.

His precious blood was shed to establish a new covenant: a covenant where God is our God and our lawless and sinful deeds He shall remember no more. With this new covenant, we are drafted into the Kingdom of God. We are sons and daughters of the most high God. We can have every blessing that God had bestowed upon us. We shall be blessed, favoured and loved by Abba Father.

Jesus had redeemed us from the curse of the law by hanging on calvary tree. He had taken away all curses that we rightfully deserved. We are no longer under the curse and therefore we can be free. We can enjoy all the blessings that God has for us. We can live lives victoriously for what Jesus had accomplished. We can reign in life because of Jesus' finished work at the cross. Hallelujah!

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want.

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want.

Jesus is the all providing Shepherd. He had already provisioned all things that we need in our lives. At the cross, He had borne all our sins so that we can be made righteous before God. He was striped, pierced, and burnt on our behalf so that we can have robust health. At the cross, He was stripped of all material possessions so that we are made rich in all things.

The bible also says that the Lamb was slain before the foundation of the earth. Jesus knew He was going to be the sacrificial Lamb on the cross, for cursed is anyone who is hanged by a tree. Christ was resurrected on the third day after His crucifixion. Together with Christ, Christians are also resurrected in the spirit. The resurrected life of Christ now dwells in every Christian.

The resurrected life of Christ gives us His shalom peace. It gives us joy in the Holy Spirit. Christian can rejoice for the good that Christ had done. Long before we face a challenge, Jesus had already implemented a way for us to be victorious. He will always make a way of escape in our trials for He had completely completed the work at the cross.

The word of Christ says that He will prepare a table for us in the battle field. During the olden days in the old testament, a blood covenant was cut between two persons. When one is in trouble, the other one will step in to rescue the one in trouble. When Jesus lays a table for a Christian in a battle field, He is telling the enemies to flee as He is the other covenant party in the blood covenant.

Jesus will always lead us to victory. He will never put a Christian, whose trust is in Him, to shame. He will never play a Christian out. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is the all providing Shepherd. In Him, I shall not lack. Hallelujah.

Jesus is our 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 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 have 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.

Are we lacking in our finances? Jesus was made poor at the cross so that we through His poverty will be made rich. As beloveds of God, we are already abundantly supplied in Christ. Look to Jesus for our material providence. He will & is turning our situations for our good. He is blessing us richly all things to enjoy!

Whatever we need, Jesus is the answer. He is our very present help in times of need. Trust in His unfailing love for us.

God is awesome to be praised

In everything, give thanks to the Lord. Praise Him & worship Him for He is good

In the beginning, God created Adam & Eve & blessed them to have dominion over the earth. However, Adam committed high trisome & forfeited the glory of God through the trickery of satan. This didn't catch God by surprise for He already had a masteplan of redemption by the sacrificial work of Jesus at the cross. God is always ahead of what satan is trying to do.

When God asked Abraham to sacrifice his only begotten son Isaac, God had already provided the lamb for the sacrifice on the opposite of the mountain. God was taking the opportunity to tell the world He was going to sacrifice His only begotten Son, Jesus.

On the mountain, Isaac was spared. But at Golgotha, Jesus took all our punishment & died for our sins. Jesus was crucified on the cross to divinely exchange His position of righteousness for our position of sin. With that one act at the cross, Jesus had overpaid God for all our sins.

As beloved children of the most high God, be conscious of His providence in our lives. Whatever we need, it had been provided at the cross. If we dealing with some forms of disease or illness, just know that by Jesus' stripe, we are already the healed. If we are facing financial lack, be aware that Jesus was made poor at the cross that we, through His poverty, had already been made rich. Praised the Lord for He is good & His mercy endures forever. Hallelujah.

My chains are gone, I've been set free

"My chains are gone, I've been set free. My God, my Saviour, had ransomed me." - Christ Tomlin.

I was so touch my this song, Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone), when I heard it just a few weeks ago. It reminded me of the freedom I have when Jesus had redeemed me some 2000 years ago.

I am no longer under any bondage or law for Jesus had fulfilled the law on my behalf. I'm the redeemed of the Lord. I am to believe in the finished work by Jesus at the cross and to be at rest.

The things of old have passed away. I am a new creation in Christ. I belong to the new covenant where all my sins have been forgiven because of Jesus' finished work. I can boldly go to Abba Father and commune with Him directly.

Praise the Lord that my old self had been crucified with Christ some 2000 years ago. Whom the Lord had set free, he is free indeed. Hallelujah!

Stay firm on your course for Jesus

There are times when we feel we can't go on anymore. There are times when we feel the going are just too much for us to bear. There are times when we feel like just give up and end our lives. This may sound familiar to some of us cause we are going through some tough challenges.

Some of us may be fighting against some forms of terminal diseases. Some of us may be facing lack in our finances and trying our best to make ends meet. Some of us may be dealing with a difficult family issue like potential divorce.

Fret not! For there is hope in Christ!

What is not right in our lives, as long we choose to believe in Jesus' finished work at the cross, will be made right. The moment we have a heart knowledge of how wonderful the finished work at the cross is, miracles happen.

Take the woman with the issue of blood in the bible. She was suffering from that disease for twelve years. Yet the moment she touched the hem of Jesus' garment, she was immediately healed of that disease. By the way, Jesus was making His way to save Jairus' daughter who happened to die before Jesus could reach her. However, Jesus didn't stop there. He told Jairus not to be afraid and continued his journey to Jairus' house and brought his daughter back to life!

Jesus was able to bring a situation from dead to life. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is still turning our bad situations to good. Just believe in Him. For greater is He who is in me than he who is of the world. Hallelujah.

Right Believing

Some of us believe that God is only good to us when we behave right, when we live right, while some of us believe that God is good to us in spite of our wrong doings, not that we want to do them. Jesus told us in the bible that He came to do the will of His Father, which is to reconcile us with God through His own sacrifice at the cross.

How often do we still believe that we have a part to play to be right with God? Remember, it is Jesus who had come to fulfilled God's will for us, as us and in us. We have absolutely no part to play in sacrifice to be righteous, to be right with God.

Our part is to believe Jesus had done a complete work at the cross, and to rest in His finished work. By believing this truth, we will live right. It is right believing that leads to right living and not vice versa. And when we believe right, we will live a victorious life. A life that is a good testament to God. A life that is glorious. Hallelujah.

Forever The Same

I saw a beautiful sunrise from my office building this morning. The sun was shinning so brilliantly that I was blinded for a little while.

However, this wasn't the case yesterday. It was raining heavily and the sun was nowhere to be found.

When we focus on our faith to trust God for manifestation of our wants and needs, we are trusting a sure uncertainty. That's because our level of faith rises and falls depending on our current situations.

When we focus on the finished work at the cross by our Lord Jesus, that faith will never waver. Because that faith is now based on the certainty of the finished work that is completely complete! For the bible says Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.

By beholding Jesus, all things will work for our good. When we see His grace, He sees us in our faith! Look to Jesus, the Aurthur and Finisher of our faith, and cast all our cares upon Him for He cares. Hallelujah.

Another New Day

It is another new day.

A day where I can praise the Lord for He is good.

A day where I can thank the Lord for He is merciful.

A day where I can worship the Lord for He is great.

A day where I can love the Lord for He first loves me.

A day where I can cast my cares upon the Lord for He cares about me.

A day where I can talk to the Lord for He always listens.

A day where I can be at peace with the Lord for He had finished the work at the cross.

The steadfast love of God

Was in the office quite early this morning and noticed a bright sunny day. But the weather has now changed to one which is cloudy and going to rain. That's how volatile weather can be.

Thank God He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is a God who keeps covenant. His promises are yes and amen in Christ Jesus. For He so loved us that He sent His only Son to the cross to die for us that we might be reconciled with He through the finished work at the cross.

As the result of that finished work some 2000 years, many of us are now saved and many more are going to be saved. We are called Christians. We can call on Him in times of need and we can praise Him in times of happiness.

God's wish for us is to prosper and be in health as our souls prosper. His word is truth. We can hold on to His word for it is life to us. Trust God to see us through. For He knows intimately what we are going through.

Perfect peace

In the midst of a perfect storm, there can be perfect peace.

This was best demonstrated when Jesus was crossing the sea of Galilee with His disciples. Some of His disciples were seasoned fishermen. To fear the storm the way they did must have been quite a storm. Yet, Jesus was not disturbed at all at what the devil was throwing at Him. He only woke up at the cry of His disciples. Immediately, He would calm the sea down.

This is the love of our Lord Jesus. He will come to our rescue the moment we look to Him for help. He is always with us as His word says He will never leave nor forsake us. He is aware of the difficult situations some of us are going through. He already has a plan to deliver us from those difficult situations.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, in prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all knowledge and understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.

Jesus had left His peace with us while He was ascending into Heaven to be seated at the right hand of our Abba Father. This peace is not of the world but a knowing that our Lord is loving towards us and His love was demonstrated at the cross.

A rainy start to a brand new day

It is drizzling now. The sky is grey and the sun seems to have disappeared. Yet deep in my heart I know the sun is still shinning. Just because the cloud has covered the sun doesn't imply the sun is no longer there.

How often have I focus on the issues at hand and forget there is a Son. The Son of God had done a complete work at the cross some two thousand years ago. Divine exchange had taken place. God had not spared His only begotten Son at the cross, how much more will He not take care of my issues. He cares so much for me that He even counts the number of hairs on my head.

Knowing that God loves me gives me the assurance and confidence He will turn my situation around for my good. What a lovely Abba Daddy I have. What a wonderful Lord in Christ Jesus. What a mighty Holy Spirit in me. Hallelujah!

Another new friend

I made a young friend, by the name of Kim, just now and came to know he is a "young" Christian. Was able to share with him that Jesus had done a complete work at the cross and that our salvation is for eternity. It is by grace that we are saved and by faith we shall live our Christian lives.
