*1.* “I can do all things through him who strengthens me. But he said, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.” So the last will be first, and the first last.” *2* “For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” *3* “But thanks be to…
Friend, you are a member of the Kingdom that cannot be shaken! Yes, we belong to Jesus, and Jesus is a member of the Godhead! Our Jesus belongs to God! We have been made part of a kingdom of priests who will reign with Him when He comes as King of kings and Lord of lords; as children of God, we have always been winners, we remain winners, and we are winners forever. Simply by faith in our Lord Jesus…
Here it is, some believers in Christ Jesus could take a feeling of being losers at times! Losers? The sense of being losers happened to some people around me when they had to turn to the world for help rather than God! Yes, we could look like losers at times, but we were never to be losers. We may even be vilified as losers, and those who were associated with us were to be most pitied but the excellent thought…
*1.* “Making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.” *2* “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time.” *3* “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.”…
What? Yes, it’s a call that you make time for God. There are so many people naming the name of Christ but who do not make time for God! What time? Yes, time to get to know Him; time to meet with Him daily; time to pray; time to get to know His Word. Their time remains selfishly consumed, and then it’s gone! It means their times are never to be redeemed because it has not been spent on eternal…
An apparent indication that holiness is possible. Precious child of God, if God says you are to be holy, then holiness is possible: “Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:16, KJV). The question is – atte you investing in those things which build up, nurture, and edify? Or in those things that will trap you, entangle you, or make you ashamed? Holiness is possible, my friend!
*1.* “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.” *2* “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” *3* “For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with…
A great lesson in this season is receiving the anointing to look unto God for portable victory. Each Gospel account is very similar in the history of what occurred between the death of Christ and His resurrection. Despite the similarities in the report, the waiting time remains similarly central for their hope to fruition. Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, and John 19 each share in describing that a man by the name of Joseph made provisions for Jesus’s body…
A major lesson for our daily thoughts on Easter Saturday should remind us that just as Jesus’ first group of followers waited the dreary hours of that Saturday to see what would occur Sunday. We must comprehend to wait to see the hand of the Lord in our own lives. The prayers that are yet to be answered and the lingering hopes can all be placed at the throne of God as we rest and abide in His presence. Exodus…
*1.* “But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed.” *2* “For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners,…
