think about God’s grace

dear friends this is a good time for every body to think about God’s grace to all of His people.

GRACE UPON GRACE.

BE HAPPY AND LIVE WITH GOD’S GRACE.

• To day we ask: what purpose does God have in leading us into situations which are uncertain and unclear? He does so in order that we might learn to depend on Him and not on ourselves. Just as in times of loneliness we learn to realize His presence, so in times of uncertainty we learn to realize His power.

• The major reason why our lives are unfruitful lies right here:- we depend more on our own strength than we do on His. How can God teach us dependence unless He puts us into situations which are so unclear that we obligated moreover to choose the way of disappointment or the way of faith?

• And if we draw back from entering such situations, we will miss a valuable spiritual education and our lives will become unproductive.
• A statement we came across some ago arithmetic up what we want to say concerning doubt and uncertainty. It is this. God’s purposes are always God’s enabling. In other words, when God steers you into strange and uncertain situation, He will keep you very much in the dark concerning His purposes, but He will not leave you alone because of His grace.

• If you accept God’s purpose you get the grace; if you refuse the purpose of God you annul His grace. Anything God purposes for you, He gives you the grace to perform.

SOME TOUGH QUESTIONS

We continue thinking through the issue of why it is that we settle for easy answer every day we face tough questions as we live our lives for Jesus Christ.

1. Should I let my children watch a certain television programme?

2. Is God leading me into new job?

3. Why am I so prone to fall under the power of temptation?

4. Should I use anti-depressants as the doctor says I should?

These and other questions demand decisions that expose our hesitation and force us to recognize how deeply confused we are about certain issues.

The bible addresses some issues clearly, but on others it is not so clear. Sometime we have to go struggle with uncertainty.

It is unappealing to be told that we have to go on in the midst of confusion, and we feel a great inner pressure to reduce the confusion to a point where it can be ignored.

Motivated by anxiety, we seek to impose an order on our world.

And it is at this point that we become extremely vulnerable. In earlier years I used to be deeply perplexed about why intelligent Christian people bough into the ideas of some of the less responsible hearing evangelists, who got them to pledge huge sums of money, give up medical treatment and do the strangest things. But then I realized that these men were providing the people who came to them with hopeful ‘’answers’’ about their physical condition or that of their loved ones, and this was easier than living with confusion.

God does heal, but sometimes He doesn’t –no matter how hard we pray.

And the way we handle this confusion determines our spiritual maturity.

LIFE’S GREATEST SCIENCE! EPHESIANS: 2:14-22 ROM.8:15 2 CORINTHIANS.6:18 We are seeing that once we enter the sanctuary of God our perspective changes. This can happen to us when we are alone, of course, but the chances are it will happen more quickly in the act of corporate worship. it is a command of God that we meet together, not only that we might come to know each other better, but that we might also come know Him better. And here’s the interesting thing-the more effectively we relate to Him. We come to know God better through the act of corporate worship than when we worship on our own. That is not to say that the shut-ins, or those who for various reasons are unable to meet together in worship, cannot know God intimately, but something special flows out of the act of corporate worship For that is what God destined humanity to be like players in in band, or organs in one body. Consequently the only real adequate instrument for learning about God is the whole Christian community, waiting for Him together. Christian brotherhood .is, so to speak, the technical equipment for this science- the laboratory group. Christians who neglect attendance at the church, or choose to deprive themselves of fellowship with other Christians, miss out on life’s greatest science learning about God.

IN THOSE THREE STEPS

ACCEPT GOD’S GRACE

Would you let Him save you? This is the most important decision you will ever make. No body will do it for you!

Why don’t you give Him your heart? Listen carefully no other name has been or will be given to us by which we can be saved, only the name of The Lord Jesus.

Please admit with your need, agree with His work, and accept His gift of salvation.

Go to God in prayer and tell Him, I am a sinner in need of grace. I believe that Jesus died for me on the cross. I accept your offer of salvation my Lord Jesus. (Yes and amen!)

It’s simple prayer with Eternal results.

Once you’ve placed your faith in Christ, I urge you to take you to take three steps. You’ll find them easy to remember.

Just think of these three words: baptism, Bible, and belong.

1. Baptism: demonstrates and celebrates our decision for follow Jesus.

Our immersion into water symbolizes our engagement into God’s grace. Just as water cleanses the body, so grace cleanses the soul. Jesus said, ‘’ whoever believes and is baptized is saved, whoever refuses to believe is damned ’’ Mark: 16:16. As it happened to Apostle Paul: Act: 22:16

2. Bible: reading brings us face to face with God. God reveals Himself to us through His word by the Holy Spirit. ‘’ let the word of Christ –the message- have the run of the heart ’’ (Colossians: 3:16).

3. Belonging: to a church reinforces your faith. A Christian without a church is like baseball player without a team or soldier without army. You aren’t strong enough to survive a lone. let’s see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping , not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big day approaching’’ (Hebrews:10:24-25)

THE CONVERSATION AT THE WELL

To day I wish we look about God’s generosity.

He who comes from above is great than all. Yes and amen.

He who comes from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly matters, but He who comes from heaven is above all, His name is Jesus.

In Him we found salvation, in Him we have harmony, in Him we have elegance, in Him we received all variety of goods.

Let us see His conversation with fortunately woman, who met with this thoughtfully man.

Here the bible say a Samaritan woman come to draw some water, and Jesus said to her, 1. ‘’Give me a drink of water.’’.

The woman answered, 2.’’ you are a Jew, and I am Samaritan-so how can you ask me for drink? (Jews will not use the same cups and bowls that Samaritans use.)

3. If only you knew what God gives, Jesus said. And who it is that is asking you for a drink, you would ask Him, and He would give you life-giving water. Read more in evangel of: (John: 4: 11-15.)

Accede to see what Jesus wishes, He is the Man who knows the whole things, no where to hide Him.

He told this woman, you have been married to five men, and the man you live with now is not really your husband.

You have told me the truth. (Our Lord is also the Man who likes the genuineness. yes and amen.)

(John: 4: 18)

Our Lord is authentic man, as bible say again. Believe me; Jesus said to that luckily woman she was luck because she met with this Man. His name is Jesus (I love Him so much since He foremost loves me) every one ought to say yes and amen.

Allow me to say that I have never seen the man like Him in my life; I am the observer of His miracles.

Even this woman becomes the observer as we look her reaction. She left her water jar, went back to the town, and said to the people there, come and see the man who told me everything I have ever done! Could He be the messiah they left the town and went to JESUS? Hallelujah.

Brothers and sisters let us say to the people what the Lord Jesus did for us, and attempt to bring them to Him.

We must first to act what is fine. We can’t commit the evils and tells others what is good. (James: 2:-21) please remember to read the bible because there’s nothing could happen, which is not write in this amazing book. Ask God’s Holy Spirit to clarify to you as well.

Do you believe that there is only one God? Good! The demons also believe-and tremble with fear, be carefully. There is no faith without an action.

AS TO DRAIN

Some people may think that by far the best way of dealing with unacceptable thoughts and feelings is to push them back into the lifeless but, as we are no seeing, that is incorrect belief,Problems that are buried inside us, rather than brought out into the light work to drain us of spiritual energy.

 

The psalms said when I am surrounded by troubles, you keep me safe it means that Lord is the only one who care us in every trouble we are saved by His power, all we need will come from Him (yes and amen)

 

                                                 Psalms.139: 1-23

Prayer

 

Father, I know begin to see why you bring me face to face with so many disturbing questions, for you know the havoc that is fashioned within when issues are ignored or denied. Help me face anything and everything. in your name JESUS. Amen

INDWELT BY CHRIST AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

To day we gonna talk about meekness-a spiritual quality

And we must focus our thinking on the

fact that the quality of meekness ( sometime translated as humility or gentleness) described in the beatitudes is not result of natural disposition, but comes from knowing Christ and abiding  in Him. That goes, of course, for all the qualities (pronounced) in the beatitudes- they are spiritual they in characteristics, not nature ones.

This point needs elaborating, for there are many Christians who say. ‘’ I am aggressive by nature, so it is not possible for me to be meek and mild person. Dear friends it is not easy to be modest person in today’s life but as righteous men and women we have to do something better as scripture says.

Lord rises the humble, but crushes the wicked to the ground.

Every Christian, whatever their natural temperament (character) is meant to be meek. It is not a matter of natural disposition, it’s superiority produced by the spirit of God.(yes and amen)  think of the powerful and extraordinary nature of a man like David –and yet observe his meekness. Look at a man like Paul the apostle, a mastermind, a powerful and outstanding (wonderful) personality, yet consider his great humility and gentleness.

How did these men get to be like this? Not because of natural proneness toward meekness, but because they were indwelt by Christ and holy spirit.

WHENEVER WE TALK

CAN you CONTROL WHAT you SAY?

Let us see the first step the psalmist took to save himself from falling was stopping himself from saying what was on the tip of his tongue.

In other words, he took himself in hand.

This is an extremely important issue. What a lot of heartache would be saved if Christians would  pay attention to this learn to put a bristle on their tongues. expressions which communicate the idea that the Lord acts unjustly or unkindly, especially if they fall from the lips of men and women who have a long experience in the Christian life, are as dangerous as sparks in a timber factory. Despite his doubts, the psalmist recognized the importance of self-discipline, and that proved to be saving virtue.

People sometimes claim: It is impossible for me to control what I say it slips out before I realize what I’ve said. ( dear friends think about this as I do because many times Satan and his demons alike to involve in our verbal communication ).

This is nonsense, of course, for what we say is the result of what we choose to say.

Sometimes we may feel as though we have no control over what we say, but that is all it is –a feeling . Dr Lawrence crab, a Christian psychologist, tells us: the loss of felt choice does not mean the loss of real choice .’’ when you give a person ‘a piece of your mind ‘’, as we say ,there is always a moment, albeit a split second, when you can choose to speak out or stay quiet.

We cannot hide behind the excuse that our tongue is not under our control. What we do is what we choose to do. The psalmist, though beset by many doubts and difficulties, chose to control his tongue –and so can you.

As what you say can preserve life or destroy it, so you must accept the consequences of your words. This is verse 21 of chapter 18 in the book of PROVERBS. The previous say that you will have to live with the consequences of everything you say.( take care)

NOT JUST A CODE OF ETHICS

AS CHRISTIANS

Let us consider the beatitudes of our Lord,(only two) 1. blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted ‘’( Matt.5:4) it is important to note that there is very definite order in these sayings of Christ. Every one is carefully thought out and is given a precise place in the spiritual sequence .

Once we see that entrance into the kingdom of God is through the acknowledgement of one’s spiritual poverty and the acceptance of Christ ‘s riches and resources, we are then ready to consider the next.

2.Happy are those who know what sorrow means, for they will be given courage and comfort. (Incredible!)

Before pondering the meaning of this beatitude, we pause to make clear that the beatitudes must not be viewed simply as code of morals, but as a description of character

. many people view these sayings of Jesus, as well as rest of the sermon on the mount, as a set of regulations which they must follow in order to become a Christian- a kind of new testament’ Ten commandments’’.

The simple truth is that to try to live out these principles in our own unaided strength would be about as possible as trying to move the Rock of massive.

Dr Marty Lloyd-Jones said: we are not told, live like this and you will become a Christian, but rather, become Christian and you will live like this..

Advocates of the’’ social gospel’’- the principle that we become Christians by attempting to live out Christ’s principles- are seriously in error. We must first know Christ as a person before we can fully live out His principles. All human being are unaided strength (powerless).
