Yes, the fullness found entirely in the glory of Jesus Christ. The distinction of Lord Jesus Christ wasn’t mostly an adrenaline surge and not a sideshow. It was full of grace and truth. C. H. Spurgeon said: “Beloved, notice here that both these qualities in our Lord are at the full. He is ‘full of grace.’ Who could be more so? In the person of Jesus Christ, the immeasurable grace of God is treasured up.” Concurringly, G. C. Morgan said, “These two…
1. “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” 2. “Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.” 3. “It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” 4. “When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.”
At times, you need the time to be alone with God! Remember, there is much divide between being alone and loneliness. To be alone gives you a religious context to listen to God and yourself, homebody. You know what? You are unique and unrepeatable! You are distinctively made to function and enjoy the fullness of God in the land of the living. But, it would help if you can indeed describe yourself based on God’s given attributes! With this, you…
Maya Angelou said: “Many believe that they need company at any cost, and certainly if a thing is desired at any cost, it will be obtained at all costs. We need to remember and to teach our children that solitude can be a much-to-be-desired condition. Not only is it acceptable to be alone, at times it is positively to be wished for. It is in the interludes between being in company that we talk to ourselves. In the silence, we…
1. “A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.” 2. “For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.” 3. “Prepare your work outside; get everything ready for yourself in the field, and after that build your house.” 4. “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what…
Have you not heard that a successful person can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at them? Yes, keep building even at the time of challenges prowess! Ancient builders usually look foolish until things started happening! For example, Noah looked like an absolute fool until it began to rain! You’ll have to keep building my friends! Keep building your skills by adding something each day! You need relevant skills set, and you get them by steady…
1. “And from his fullness, we have all received, grace upon grace.” 2. “For, in him, the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily.” 3. “Which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.” 4. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, And to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”
Have you not heard that with complete submission to God, you have your emptiness fills with absolute fullness? How does absolute vacuum be input to fullness? What makes the dynamic of emptiness elevating the concept of fullness. Have you not heard that with God, all things are possible? What a valley, a bassy of fullness? Who gives a barren the vast opportunity to parent children? Why are the drylands when God irrigates continually? That emptiness is an indication that you…
Mother Teresa said: “God cannot fill what is full. He can fill only emptiness – deep poverty – and your “yes” [to Jesus] is the beginning of being or becoming empty. It is not how much we really “have” to give – but how empty we are – so that we can receive fully in our life and let him live his life in us. In you today – he wants to relive his complete submission to his father –…
1. “She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.” 2. “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” 3. “Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet…
