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.

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.

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.
