I Became Poor- Jesus

Thank You Jesus for coming down to earth to save us.
I shall forever praise You.
This 2017, you can take out any activities that I love if it hinders me from getting closer to you or help spread the good news.
Anything from my relationship with friends, business dealings, etc. Feel free to take it out from me.
I just wanna focus on You.
Yes,Lord.
That's how I am committed to You.
Use me this 2017. I am all yours.

Again,
Happy Birthday. ❤️❤️❤️❤️


I Became Poor

You know that Christ was rich, but for you he became poor.
Christ did this so that by his being poor you might become rich.

—2 Corinthians 8:9 (ICB)

Try to imagine what that first, long-ago Christmas was like for Me. Think about how much I gave up when I came to this earth as a baby. I set aside My Glory so that I could be part of the human race. I gave up the Power of heaven to become a helpless infant. I left the majesty and perfection of heaven to be born in a dirty stable. That was a dark night for Me, even though angels lit up the sky announcing “Glory!” to amazed shepherds.

But I did it all for you.

When you sit quietly with Me, you experience the opposite of what I went through. As you focus on Me—and all I gave up for you—heaven opens up just a bit, giving you a glimpse of My Glory. I became poor so that you could become rich. Sing praises to My holy Name!

Love,
Jesus

“ "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.

God Is Not Punishing You For Some Sin

Good day everyon!
Rejoice in this good news everyday of your life and
see how far this TRUTH will take you.

God Is Not Punishing You For Some Sin


Ephesians 1:7
7In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

Some Christians believe that although you have forgiveness of sins, you are not free from the penalties of your sins. In other words, you can still expect punishment from God. For example, some married Christian couples have been told that they are childless because God is punishing them for having had pre-marital sex. So although God has forgiven them of that sin, He still has to punish them for it.

I am certainly not for pre-marital sex, but I want you to know that God, who is the only one who can fully appreciate the full value of His Son’s blood and who is completely satisfied by His Son’s sacrifice, is at rest in His heart today concerning your sins! That is why He is not against you even when you fail. Neither is He out to punish you when you sin. No, He still loves you, is for you and wants to help you overcome that sin.

In the Old Testament, the blood of bulls and goats could only “cover” sins and not take them away. (Hebrews 10:4) But the blood of Jesus is not like the blood of animals! For by one sacrifice, the eternal blood of the Son of God has forever removed your sins (Psalm 103:12) and cleansed you of all unrighteousness! (1 John 1:9) In fact, God is so satisfied with His Son’s perfect work that He says to you today, “Your sins and lawless deeds I will by no means remember!” (Hebrews 10:17) And if God does not remember them, why would He punish you for them?

Beloved, you have “redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace”. Because Jesus’ work is complete, all your sins have been completely forgiven. And complete forgiveness means that the penalties for your sins can no longer fall on you because they had already fallen on Jesus at the cross. (Isaiah 53:5)

So don’t think for one moment that God is punishing you for some sin just because something bad happened to you. Look to the cross and know that all your sins have already been punished fully in the body of Christ. Believe that God is for you and expect victory!

Your Answer Is In His Word

God is so good He backed up my latest entry with this Daily devotional.

:)

Your Answer Is In His Word


Proverbs 4:20–22
20My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. 21Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; 22for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.

God has given us a sure way to receive the answers to our problems and challenges. It is His Word. Every answer or solution we need is found in the Bible.

Yet, many Christians are not walking victoriously in certain areas of their lives. This is because the devil continuously wages a war of distraction against them. He has managed to take them away from the one thing that can bring them victory — the Word. He will do everything possible to prevent them from opening the Bible because he knows that the Word will deliver them.

The distraction can be very subtle: A lot of things to get done, a lot of TV programs that interest you, or it may take the form of a big problem that makes you feel that you need to focus all your attention on it. The enemy knows that if he can get you to take your eyes off the Word of God, he can keep you from winning the battle.

When you are going through a tough time, it is not enough to know that God’s answer to the problem is “somewhere in the Bible”. Find the scripture in which God has promised the solution. Meditate on it until the truth of that scripture is revealed to you. When you do this, no demon or devil can prevent that word from God from bearing fruit in your life.

Even Jesus Himself used the Word to defeat the devil in the wilderness — “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’” (Matthew 4:4) The way to defeat the enemy is with “It is written…”

My friend, there is no substitute for the written Word. God tells us that we will find life and health if we give our attention to His Word and keep it in the midst of our hearts. So get into the Word and let God’s promises abide in you.

Beware of some Christian preachers!

Some Christian preachers are detrimental to your health.
Trust me , I have been there.
If by chance you listen to some pastor , wide eyes looking straight into your
eyes , fingers pointing at you saying.

"You must be good to enter the kingdom of God.
You must do this..do that. be like this . be like that!"

and in the end while listening to him you feel like
having a heart attack because of too much guilt impounded on you.

I tell you... FLEE!!!!
Don't waste your time!
Go for another Christian church that only preaches and speaks of JESUS
and only Jesus. Then let the words of God change you within.Don't struggle.

For our best enemy is ourselves. But with Jesus , we can only rest
and let Him change us...consistently..


Jesus is the King of Peace.
He always wanted to have that peace in us no matter who and what we are.

Those kind of pastors that I just mentioned are still in bondage in the law of Moses!

And they with their so "good'ol sane mind" don't see JESUS final work in the Calvary.

They make it sooo hard for us to come to God and enjoy His love.
They complicate our relationship with God by pounding us with do's and don'ts!

They are misleading lost people to be more confuse and feel so unloved!

So whenever pastor leaders talking about your imperfections,
just say.

"Yes, I am imperfect.I have sinned. I am undeserving to have God's love
and blessings because of what I have become in this world BUT

(point your finger to Jesus)

This Man, has redeemed me from the mud. I was undeserving but because
of His death on the cross, God sees me righteous and my sins pure white as snow.
Should I be guilty?? No! I am grateful! Because Jesus has done it.
It is finished!! So why don't you shut up and read the good news in the Bible!"


Enjoy Pastor Joseph Prince's daily devotional for today my friends!
Start the week right! Rest in His love!:)


God Remembers Your Sins No More

Hebrews 10:17
17… “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

I don’t know about you, but I would say that Hebrews 10:17 is good news. God sees all our sins — past, present and future — and says, “Your sins I remember no more!” The words “no more” are a strong double negative in the original Greek text. In other words, God is saying, “Your sins I will by no means ever remember!”

Has God lowered His standards? No, He is still perfectly holy. He did remember all our sins — 2,000 years ago at the cross. Every sin which we have committed or will commit has been punished to the full in the body of Jesus Christ at the cross. That is why today, God remembers our sins no more. We should, therefore, not be sin-conscious.

Each time we fall into sin, God wants us to remember the cross and say, “Lord Jesus, you were sentenced for this sin I committed. You bore the judgment, so God will not judge me for this sin. You were condemned for this sin, so God will not condemn me for it.”

If you don’t look to the cross, you will become sin-conscious and you will walk around with a certain expectation of judgment. And that expectation of judgment will give the devil a chance to get you thinking that God has something against you because of your sin.

You must come to the place where you know and believe that all your sins are forgiven, that there is no sin that will ever disqualify you from God’s blessings, that there is no sin that will ever send you to hell, because you are forgiven and saved eternally.

Hebrews 10:12, 14 says, “But this Man [Jesus], after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God… For by one offering He has perfected forever…”

You and I are perfected forever because of Jesus’ perfect work on the cross. We are perfected by God’s full acceptance and perfect delight in His Son’s work that has so glorified His holiness. Beloved, hear God say to you, “I will be merciful. Your sins and lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

Happy New Year my dear friends!

It's another year.
This time I know and I feel, inspite of all the world crisis
and setbacks, it's gona be an awesome year!

I bet people from all walks of life are starting to do
out their New Year's Resolution List.

Well, I can say I can relate to that.
Just before the new year comes, I used to start writing
down the things that I want to change in me.
To be more specific, I refer on my behavior.

Yes. It's innate in me that I wanted to be always good.
I wanted people to admire me because "I'm nice" I'm good"..
I'm like this and I'm like that.

So New Year's Resolution list has always been my thing.

Now, for so many years have passed of doing it...
have I changed on my self-effort?

Of course,
I did not.

Circumstances beyond my control had made me vulnerable
and left me at times out of control.
The more I pressured myself to never do this 'bad' thing again,
the more I ended up feeling so much like a loser.


Unfortunately, there even came a time that I became worst.
And out of frustrations..I hated myself.

Year after year after year.
I was always on my own with my atruggles.
if I couldn't fix it, I'd feel bad for not doing good enough.

Now, that Jesus is in me.

No more frets.

Deep inside, it's amazing how He changes me without holding
unto my own self-confessed strength and pride.

Jesus is right,

"I am the way the truth and the life" . Many struggle to know the way to live, Jesus says 'the way to live is in me'. We look for the ultimate truth, 'it's me' he says. We look for a life worth living with meaning and purpose, again 'it's me'. (John 14 v 6)

Isn't that a great message to live by???

Let that message sink in to you my friends.

If you're not happy with your life right now..read the message again.

Let us stop being so religious about Jesus.

Jesus Himself hates religion.
He wants relationship from us.
If we make Him our soul's partner, we can only gain from this
mad, fallen world.
We gain great health, peace and life will make it soooo much more
worthe living inspite of all your current situation.

Stop struggling with life and start having fun!

With Jesus, you don't need to sturggle because His yoke is easy.

You can only rest...full time!

Happy New Year and let the good tidings of the coming year begin!

When My Faith Wavers....

Although how consistent and serious I am in believing God and praising Him..many a times my faith wavers.
Questions like,

"Is God for real?"
"Am I delusional?"
"Where this thing will take me?"
"Am I really saved?"
"What about the New Age teachings and Oprah?"
"Where will I go from here?"
"Does heaven and earth really exist?"
"What if the scientists are true?"
"What about the anti-Christ and atheists? Are they having fun with life right now?"

..the list is endless.

But just two days ago...I had the answers coming right from
Pastor Prince...Read on..:)

"When You See God’s Grace, He Sees Your Faith"

Ephesians 2:8
8For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

Many a time, people ask me, “Pastor Prince, I know that God’s promises are true, but how can I be sure that His promises will come true in my life?”

My friend, if you want God’s promises to be sure in your life, you cannot depend on youself. If you depend on youself — your obedience, goodness, service and even faith — you will not be able to receive God’s promises. But when you depend on God’s grace — His unmerited, unearned, undeserved favour towards you — that is when His promises become sure in your life.

This was true of the woman with the issue of blood. (Matthew 9:20–22) She didn’t go around saying, “I must have faith… I hope that I have enough faith… I will have faith… I will not lose faith.” No, she was only conscious of the grace of Jesus — how He always healed the sick, how powerful He was in raising the dead and how willing He was to use that power for her healing.

She just saw His grace abounding towards her, so much so that she said, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” And when she came behind Jesus and touched the very hem of His garment, she was healed. At the same moment, Jesus stopped, turned around and said to her, “Be of good cheer, daughter, your faith has made you well.”

When the woman saw His grace, God saw her faith! And so it was by grace, through faith, that God’s promises became sure in her life.

God wants you to see His grace. And when you see His grace, He sees your faith. God says, “For by grace are you saved through faith.” (Ephesians 2:8) The Greek word of saved, sozo, doesn’t just mean to save from hell, but also to heal, preserve and make whole. So it is by grace that you are made whole, kept healthy, preserved and prosperous. It is by grace through faith that God’s promises become sure in your life.

My friend, don’t worry if you feel that you lack faith. Begin to see God's grace in your situation and he will see that as faith. And because He sees your faith, you will receive the breakthrough you need!

God says...

I received this from one of my Facebook friends' Franses Yones post..
Take note of the Bible verses where it's taken from.
Indeed , God knows who and what we are while we are in this world.
He knows our struggles and pains..So to assure us of His love,
He wrote it in the Bible as a promise...
Read on...and fill your soul.

God Is Love." 1John 4: 16

My heart is crushed...

I just discovered some truths today..and it hurts...so deeply that I just cried and cried...

Someone that I loved for 8years has betrayed and cheated on me.
It's devastating.
The pain has strucked my heart so bad it goes to all my nerves and shaking my entire
soul..

For now...

I call unto the Lord for comfort...and strength..to withstand all these.




pause..




deep pause...



(cried)



(sobs)




I know He has His own mysterious ways of going things around.

It maybe bad, sad and very hurtful on my part..
but I can only proclaim, the Lord has set me FREE!

Yeah!
I may not be able to understand it for now..but in the end I am sure, I'd be thankful
that this has happened to me...

Right now.. all I can do is mourn...cry....be sad...totally down but not out!
I will feel this moment today for I know this shall be my victory tomorrow.

My flesh says, "go out and clubbing..drink..be merry and find someone else!"

But no! I am not going to do any of that at all just because I'm hurt..
(Well, I used to..that's before Jesus has come into my life.)


I still trust in the LORD...for He is my refuge and I will stand tall to His Words.

Like the loss of my father and sister...financial setbacks...and now
a failed-relationship...

I can only say... Thank you Jesus!

Someday, I'm gonna look back on this blog with no regrets but with a smile in my face and peace in my heart..
:)
