Who can be against us?

“What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬ ‭NLT‬‬

What are the wonderful things Paul is talking about?
“For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.”Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭29‬-‭30‬ ‭NLT‬‬

We know we have an enemy, Satan, and he works against us. However, as Paul says, “if God be for us who can be against us?” In other words Satan’s efforts are paltry. He may kill the flesh but cannot take the soul and spirit. If we cling to our God, He will be our eternal reward.

Today, Sunday, is a good day to worship the Lord and put Him first. As we yield to Him He is able to display His glory through us. Our world needs to see Jesus, we can be his cinema screen. He is full of grace and truth. Let us show selfless love to all we meet today! Amen!

Eternal Life

Teacher I beg you to look at my son because he is my only don. Luke 9:38 For God so loved the world He sent His only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Luke has several stories about parents losing single children. Jesus healed them all. The Only Son reached out to these single child families. Jesus was the favoured only Son. Yet the Father knew He was the Only answer. Abraham was tested regarding his willingness to give up his only son, way back in the beginning, but he was spared because there was one destined to come and pay the perfect price. Amen! The blood of Christ was perfect as it was without spot or blemish. There was great power in that blood, enough power for all men, for all time. The blood secures us freedom from eternal darkness, it brings us into eternal life. Amen! Invite Him in and watch 'life' change your world. Amen!

And God said…

“Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.” Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬ These powerful words cut through the darkness, light came into that darkness and it was never the same again. There is power in the words of God! Jesus said to His disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Jesus knew His authority and spoke with that authority imparting Hsi authority to His disciples. We see Jesus in the gospels speaking with authority, people were healed and delivered. We have that same authority. Remember, light cuts through the darkness! Amen!

Give thanks

“Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭105‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬ This psalm is a psalm of rememberance. It follows Abraham and his descendants to Egypt and beyond to the promised land.  We need reminding how faithful God has been to us in the past. It is good to show gratitude for all His deliverances and miracles of provision, to remember His faithfulness instead of complaining about His failure to solve a problem. Gratitude releases my heart from complaint. It changes my whole perspective about circumstances in my childhood. I no longer remember the bad done to me, but instead my heart is filled with gratitude. Speaking of God’s faithfulness brings an atmosphere of life into our current circumstances. God’s life changes things. Bring life not death! Amen!
