Remember Jesus

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

The night before the children of Israel left Egypt they partook the roasted lamb that was slain earlier. They are to burn every part of it. They shall eat the whole lamb & burnt whatever that was left. That was the Passover feast.

The Passover feast signified the death of Jesus at the cross. Jesus bore the wrath of God at the cross so that He can divinely exchange His position of righteousness for our position of sin.

The bible says that when the children of Israel Eygpt, there were none feeble & none sick. They were all healthy & whole, both young & old. They were very rich as well because of the favour of God. But why did the children of Israel had to bring along their staffs?

It is a picture for us to remember Jesus at the cross. A reminder of Jesus' finished work at the cross. As beloveds of the most high God, we remember the finished work of Jesus at the cross by partaking the Holy Communion. Be conscious of Jesus' finished work at the cross constantly & see the working miracles of God. Hallelujah!

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.
