God Is Faithful

God is forever faithful. Even when we are faithless, God is still faithful.
He will never leave us nor forsake us. He will make all things turn out for
our good. We just need to put our trust in Him.

There are so many instances in the bible where God's faithfulness is
displayed. In the beginning after Adam had fallen, God promised that the
Seed of Eve will crush the head of the devil. Generations later, Jesus died
on our behalf so that the devil no longer has the power of death. With long
life, He will satisfy us. His word is the truth.

When the earth was filled with genetically engineered giants and half
humans and half monsters, God bought forth the flood to wipe out all the
monsters on earth. Only Noah and his wife and his three sons and his three
daughters were spared because they were then the only pure humans left on
earth. It is the goodness of God to preserve the human race.

God cannot lie. The bible doesn't say God will not lie. It tells us that
God CANNOT lie! He is the God that provides. Jesus is the shepherd that I
shall not lack in any good things. If healing is what a Christian is
looking for, Jesus had already taken the diseases and illnesses on His body
that by His stripe, the Christian is already the healed! We don't have to
sweat and toil for our health for robust health is from the Lord.

If we are looking for financial breakthrough in our lives, God will
breakthrough for us! The word says that our God will meet all our needs
according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus. God will not just meet
our needs. He will exceedingly, abundantly supply all our needs and wants
above what we can ask or think of.

In the feeding of five thousand, Jesus turned five loaves of bread and two
small fishes into food for them, with twelve baskets full of food. God is
forever faithful. He will see to our every need. He will not let the
righteous souls to be put to shame. 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!

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.

It is finished!

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Christians are basically sinners who accepted the gift of salvation. It is a gift and not something that a sinner can work for. It is the master plan of God to save and redeem. At the cross, Jesus said with a loud voice: It is finished!

Some Christians are still working for their salvation. They think they have a part to play in the redemptive work. They are woking very hard for their blessings. They are exercising regularly to maintain their health. They are working overtime or taking on multiple jobs to provide for they family.

There is nothing wrong in exercising to keep fit, to feel good after the adrenaline rush. There is nothing wrong in working overtime to earn the extra cash to give one and the family some extra luxuries. However, when a Christian does these things with the knowledge he/she is the one to achieve all good things in his/her life and not the almighty God who is more than willing to supply, the Christian just subjects himself/herself under the law.

God is willing to give us Jesus, what more will He withdraw from us? Trust in the finished work at the cross for the blessing of the Lord makes one rich and He adds no sorrow to it.

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.

What are we conscious of when we wake up in the morning?

Each morning when we wake up, we have a few choices to make. We can decide where to have breakfast. We can decide how to make our way to our office. Maybe we can also decide what is to be done first at the office. However, we seldom make a decision to be Christ conscious for the whole day. Why is that so?

We are more concerned over work issues, financial issues, health issues, family issues and etc. We may be swarmed by all these legit demand that we forget there is One who is more than able to help us to cope with all the legit demands in our lives.

When we are Christ conscious, the favour of God will fill us and overtake us in all that we do or touch. When we are Christ conscious, the wisdom of God will guide us in our every endeavour. His mighty hand will be involved in everything that we do. And we will experience length of days. Somehow, we accomplished more things than we normally do.

Be Christ conscious all day long and enjoy His love and His presence. Be aware of Christ in us, the hope of glory.

Focus on the finished work at the cross

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Jesus is the only Son born to die. After He was born, He was wrapped up in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. Swaddling clothes were used to wrap up dead people and manger is basically crib for holding hay or food of animals. It is the same shape as a coffin.

Jesus came specifically to give His life in exchange for ours. He came to bring us back to Abba Father. He came to give us righteousness and to take away our sin. He came to give us prosperity and to take away poverty from us. He came to give us health and to take away pain and diseases. He came to give us a family and to take away our loneliness.

At the cross, the divine exchange took place. Jesus took our condemnation so we can have His righteousness. So we can be right with God. So we can come boldly to the throne of grace. He took away our old selves so that we have everything new. A new person who is born again in Christ. With the new person, all old things have passed away. Behold, all things are new! Hallelujah!

Do not fear

What do we do when we had received a bad report about our health? How do we response when something bad just happened to us? What is our immediate response when we heard a loved one is injured?

How often do we think of the worst case scenario straight away when we received these news? We don't usually think that things will work out well in spite of what had happened. We were so quick to always expect the worst when something bad had happened that we forgot that sometimes things weren't as bad as the initial report presented to be.

Maybe that's why there are 365 verses in the bible that tell us do not fear or do not be afraid. One verse for each day of our lives. If something bad happens, for Christians, we can expect that it will work out for our good. Perhaps some of us had lost our jobs and we are thinking naturally how we are going to get a job , especially, if some of us are advanced in age. Perhaps a loved one is suffering from terminal cancer and we think there is no nope.

Do not be afraid when bad things happen. For we can look to Jesus for deliverance out of that bad happening. Jesus can turn things around for our good. Just remains at rest and God will take care of all our cares.

My God Is A God Of Abundance

When we ask God to provide for our needs, most often than not He over-supplies our needs. For my God will supply my needs according to the riches and glory in Christ Jesus.

Also, if we are challenged financially, when God's deliverance is here, we will be blessed with not only financial blessing but also blessings in the area of our health, family, relationships. God's blessing comes like a tsunami into our lives. He will bless every area of our lives.

Why Did God Create Adam?

Why did God create Adam?

Because God is love. He has so much love that He wants to lavish on us, His creations that were created in His image. He wants us to be part of His family. He wants to fellowship with us. He wants us to enjoy the lives that we have. He desires us to prosper and be in health as our souls prosper.

Faith to faith

Therefore faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of Christ. We can hear ourselves back to faith but we cannot psych ourselves back to faith.

When we see the grace of God, He sees us in our faith. By beholding Jesus and His finished work at the cross, we will have a "big" consciousness of who we are in Christ and what's our real identity in Christ. Also, when we meditate on His word, we will have a revelation of who Christ is in our lives.

There is no point in striving to achieve success by our natural effort only to find out that it is bad success later on. When we work from a rest perspective, the Lord Jesus will give us success beyond our imaginations. He will make our paths straight and He will put us at the right place and time.

Our job is to believe God is good to us. He had adopted us as sons into His kingdom through the finished work at the cross and by our confession that Jesus is Lord. The greatest miracle is achieved by believing and speaking, what more the "lesser" miracle of health and wealth.

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.
