Flows To Fill
Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” (NIV).
How will your life look if it overflows with thanksgiving? In answering this question, the first thing we saw is When GRACE Flows In. The second thing is, GRATITUDE fills up. So, when grace flows in, gratitude fills up. When I really understand grace, gratitude is the natural response. Read the rest of this entry
Picture of Grace
Romans 8:31 “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” (NIV).
Your picture and understanding of God determines the quality of your life. When it comes to grace, people tend to be on one extreme or the other. One extreme projects God as the big man up there with a big stick waiting for you to make a mistake so that He can whack your head. One extreme says God is graceless. Read the rest of this entry
Generous Grace
2 Corinthians 13:14 “May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”
I want you to think about your life, who is the stingiest person that you know? How much do people like to hang around that person? The truth is that no one likes stingy people. However, the challenge of our time, [because of the economic challenges in the world], Read the rest of this entry
L.I.G.H.T.
John 10:10 “…But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow!” (TPT)
T stands for Transform Our Lives. John 10:10 “I came to give life – life in all its fullness.” (ICB). This life that Jesus came to give is tripartite and you need to get this. This fullness of life is New Life, Abundant Life, and Eternal life. New Life is what happens when we give our lives to Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
Cry Out!
Matthew 20:31-34 “…But they only shouted louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” When Jesus heard them, he stopped and called, “What do you want me to do for you?” “Lord,” they said, “we want to see!” Jesus felt sorry for them and touched their eyes. Instantly they could see!…”
The lifeguards tell us that they cannot save someone as long as the person is trying to save himself or herself. So, the more the person struggles, the more he or she drowns. The more you try to do it in your strength, the faster you go down. The lifeguard is trained to do two things when someone is drowning. Read the rest of this entry
The Solution
Acts 4:12 “Jesus is the only one who can save people. His name is the only power in the world that has been given to save anyone. We must be saved through him!” (ERV)
Jesus has not only come to L – Let Us In On Who God Is, I – Inform Us Of God’s Plan, G – Guide Our Steps. He has come to H, Heal Our Hurts. The truth is everybody has a hidden wound. It may be something that happened to you or something that did not happen to you. Read the rest of this entry
Flood Light
Ephesians 5:13 “When the light shines, it exposes even the dark and shadowy things and turns them into pure reflections of light.” (Voice)
Jesus came to L – Let Us In On Who God Is, I – Inform Us Of God’s Plan, G – Guide Our Steps. John 8:12 “…I am the Light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t be stumbling through the darkness, for living light will flood your path.” (LB, emphasis added). Read the rest of this entry
Inform & Guide
John 18:37 “I came into the world to tell people the truth.” (NCV)
Jesus came to unveil God’s plans, the truth of your destiny. Ephesians 1:9-11 “God’s secret plan has now been revealed to us; it is a plan centered on Christ, designed long ago… And this is His plan: At the right time God will bring everything together under the authority of Christ— Read the rest of this entry
Revelation Light
John 14:6-7 “Jesus answered, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father too. But now you know the Father. You have seen him.” (ERV)
John 14:9 “…Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father….” (NIV). What a huge statement! Who on earth can say, ‘if you see Me, you have seen The Father?’ It is either an arrogant statement or it is the truth. It is either He is crazy, or He is God. Read the rest of this entry
Light Up!
John 1:5 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (NIV)
Christ Jesus came to the earth to light up the world and the question is how. To help us, we have put it in a way that we can easily remember and relate with. We have come up with the acronym “L.I.G.H.T”. L stands for Let Us In On Who God Is. Read the rest of this entry
