With Me And For Me
“…And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matt.28:20
What empowers you to live a life of purity is the fact that Jesus is near. Guess what, Jesus is not only near but He is watching to see what you will do. There are many things that you are struggling with today that you will receive instant deliverance from, just with the full realization of the Presence of Jesus beside you. And guess Read the rest of this entry
Close Watch
“You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do” Ps.139:2-3.
What do the people closest to you feel? Do they feel an overwhelming awareness of your love or do they feel an overwhelming awareness of your criticism? If you are married, the closest person to you is your spouse. So how does your spouse really feel around you? Does he or she have an overwhelming awareness that you love him or Read the rest of this entry
Embrace It, Walk In It
“God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins” 1 John 4:9-10.
So now you don’t have to question God’s love for you any more. Now you know without any doubt that God really loves you. If Martha and Mary were to benchmark their love for Jesus, they would say, ‘The ointment of our life savings, we gave to You’. When God is to benchmark His love for them, He will say, ‘My Son, My only Son I gave to you’. So where do you want to hinge your request – on your works or on His Read the rest of this entry
He Loves You
“Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute… No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.” Rom.8:35 & 37.
It is difficult to sin with Jesus right beside you, extremely difficult. When you read Psalm 139:1-12 [please read], you will quickly realize that there is nowhere you can go to hide from God. God is everywhere. Jesus is near. Regardless of our proximity to Jesus, we still need to get His attention. Married people will attest to the fact that a Read the rest of this entry
Walking In Purity
‘So be very careful to love the Lord your God’ Josh.23:11
“Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world” James 4:8. God is extending a relationship invitation to you. But you will notice that He immediately says wash your hands, you sinners. It is a strange thing to talk about the Gospel without talking about sin. A lot of people don’t want to talk about sin these Read the rest of this entry
He Is Here
“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us’” Matt.1:23 [emphasis added].
“…And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age” Matt.18:20. We do not have to beg or cajole God to be with us or come along with us. He is here with us already. When Jesus was going [John 14], He said I am going but I will come again to you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come in and with My Spirit. So the Holy Spirit was released to us. In fact, He is known as the Spirit of Read the rest of this entry
For The Father
“The older brother became angry and refused to go in… ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends” Luke 15:28-29 [NIV].
The older son couldn’t understand the party so he became angry and refused to go in. “ But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!” Luke 15:30 [NIV]. The older son felt cheated; why did you kill the fattened cow ‘for him’? Do you know how long it took us to feed that cow fat? To understand the reason for the party, you need to look Read the rest of this entry
Truth Revealed
“His father said to him, ‘Look, dear son, you have always stayed by me, and everything I have is yours. We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!” Luke 15:31-32.
You need to understand the truth shown to the older son, “His father said to him, ‘Look, dear son, you have always stayed by me, and everything I have is yours” Luke 15:31. What the father was saying in essence is that, everything I have even the fattened cow that was killed is yours. In other words, your brother pretty much Read the rest of this entry
A Picture Of Grace
“The older brother was angry and wouldn’t go in. His father came out and begged him” Luke 15:28
As believers, the more truth we imbibe, the more we are established in grace. That’s just how it works. The more truth we imbibe, the more we are established in grace. In fact, the reason some Christians appear not to be able to backslide and have been consistently growing in their walk with God is because they keep the truth before Read the rest of this entry
Beyond Our Request
“I will go home to my father and say, “Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. Please take me on as a servant.”’ Luke 15:18-19
Jesus is full of grace and truth; Jesus Himself unpacks this with the story of the prodigal son [Luke 15]. With good works, you understand that nothing you do in your strength can bring you in. So you are not working to pay back but out of love and duty to the Father. With dead works, you think that you can actually work your Read the rest of this entry
