Christ Is The Treasure In You

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! ENJOY YOUR DAILY DOSE OF LIFE!!!



Christ Is The Treasure In You


2 Corinthians 4:7
7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

The verse tells us that we have “this treasure” in earthen vessels. Who is the treasure? Christ! Who are the earthen vessels here? You and I! Thank God the treasure is in the earthen vessels.

My friend, Christ the treasure is in you. So don’t get frustrated when you see your “earthiness”. You will always be “earthen” as long as you are in your mortal body, but remember that Christ the treasure is in you.

Should you lose your cool with your spouse or children, remember that Christ in you is your patience. When I feel impatient, I don’t pray, “Lord Jesus, give me patience... now!” No, I look to Jesus and I say, “Lord Jesus, I thank You that You are my patience.”

In my younger days and even when I first got married, I had a bad temper. I tried all sorts of anger management techniques, but I never got very far until I told God, “God, I am so frustrated trying to overcome my anger. I give up! I cannot. You can. I rest and depend on You.” Not too long after that, my wife commented, “You know, you have improved in the area of your temper.”

I thought about what she had said and realized that I was not even conscious of the change in me. When family members can see the patience of Christ manifesting through a naturally impatient person, God gets the glory.

Perhaps you are frustrated with your smoking and drinking habits. Or maybe you are discouraged by your feelings of jealousy, distrust, bitterness, depression and defeat. Don’t condemn yourself for being earthen. Don’t try to “cast out” your earthiness. Just realize that you have Christ the treasure in you.

The more you see that treasure in you, the more Christ’s brilliance shines forth in you. And in the midst of your earthiness, God gets the glory as you yourself are transformed from glory to glory! (2 Corinthians 3:18)

How do you deal with life's trials?

Few years back....
when I was struggling on my own with life's trials
I asked God.

Is that all there is to it?

Does life means alot of frustrations, depressions, problems, weakness or heartaches?

Strange.

How can God create such a world.

Alot of questions went on. I strongly felt there was something wrong.

Until one day, getting tired , I found Jesus.

And Jesus have told me all the answers.

That life..

... in this world has tribulations.

That's why He is there. Always ready to redeem us from it all.

And when the time comes that we acknowledge His presence,

Everything will fall into place.

Yeah.

He alone can take us to a place of REST.




Your trials , just like mine are temporary.

You have a choice.

Deal with it on your own.

Or act smart with it by

letting Jesus take over.

Which one is in your heart?

Claim Your Restoration!

I have claimed my restoration for all the things the devil have
stolen from me in Jesus mighty name!

What about you?


Claim Your Restoration!


Acts 3:20–21
20… that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, 21whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things...

As a believer, you have a right to expect restoration of the things that the devil has stolen from you. It may be your health, marriage or finances, but payback time is definitely coming!

Acts 3:20–21 tells us that before Jesus comes back for His church, we will experience “the times of restoration of all things”. What a hope that gives us, knowing that God will restore to us all things before Jesus returns!

My friend, if the devil is attacking you in any area, tell God, “Father, I will not allow the devil to rob me of my health, marriage, children or finances. These blessings are blood-bought and paid for by Your Son!” Claim your restoration in Christ and heaven will hear you.

There will be such times of restoration of all things to the body of Christ that His people will only get better, stronger, healthier, and more prosperous and glorious! When God restores, even under the old covenant, His people always received much more than what they had originally lost, in terms of quality and/or quantity. How much more will our restoration be under the new covenant because of the shed blood of the Lamb of God!

A divorcee with a teenage son came to our church and accepted the Lord in May 2003. She began to pray for the restoration of her marriage and the reunion of her family. She knew that the chances of this happening were close to zero since she had not met nor spoken with her ex-husband since their divorce 10 years ago. She did not even know if he had remarried. But God caused their paths to cross at a wedding at the end of 2003. Today, their relationship is healed, and together with their son, they worship as a family in church.

Even though what happened for that sister may not happen for every divorced person (God can give you a better spouse and marriage), I believe that God wants you to know that your times of restoration are here. Heaven is waiting to hear you stake your claim for restoration!

Forgiveness Is For The Undeserving by Ps Joseph Prince

Forgiveness Is For The Undeserving


Matthew 18:21
21Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”

Peter asked the Lord how often he should forgive his brother. The Lord’s answer to him was simple: Up to 70 times seven times. (Matthew 18:22) In other words, all the time!

“Well, Pastor Prince, he does not deserve my forgiveness.”

Neither did you deserve God’s forgiveness.

There is not a single person alive or dead who did not break all 10 of God’s commandments. There is no such thing as a “partial sinner” or “great sinner”. All of us were great sinners when Jesus saved us. And when we realize that we are forgiven much, we will love much. (Luke 7:47)

“Pastor Prince, how can you say that I have broken all of God’s commandments? I have never committed adultery.”

My friend, Jesus said, “If you lust after a woman in your heart, you have already committed adultery with her.” (Matthew 5:28) That is God’s standard. Man looks outward, but God looks inward at the heart. Moreover, if you break one law, you are guilty of all. (James 2:10) So everyone has broken all of God’s commandments. Everyone is a great sinner.

Now, you are no longer a sinner if you have received Christ as your Savior. You are a new creation. But you were a great sinner and God forgave you your huge debt through the death of His Son.

So if someone has wronged you, tell yourself this: “I did not deserve God’s forgiveness, but He forgave me through Christ. So I forgive this person also.” If you say something like, “He does not deserve it,” it makes no sense. Forgiveness is not for people who deserve it. If they deserve anything, it is punishment. But forgiveness means that you extend grace — undeserved favor — like how God extends undeserved favor to you.

Beloved, if you choose to hold on to bitterness, no one suffers but you. You lose your peace, then possibly your health. It is just not worth it. God says to you, “Let go. Forgive them their debts, just as I have forgiven you yours.”

My Happy Meter

This was my happy meter before Jesus came into my life.




So poor thing and inconsistent huh?

Just a quick illustration, pls. Pardon me for my bad graphics. Will improve this on my next thread.

As you can see, my emotions were unstable. It even went down to negative. Maybe that was the time when I was really down or felt so lost in this world or something.

It kept going down and went up for a little while maybe because I saw my crush, had enough cash or got a new gadget.

I tell you, I didn't like it that way. Who would?

Now look at my Happy meter when Jesus came into my life.







See.
It keeps going up, up and up!

Yeaaah!!

My emotions lately has stopped depending on the things around me.

Like short lived excitements, holidays or just something good comes up.

It's awesome. Because i can spend time alone in my room for days and still having a lot of quality and good things to do and have fun.

Moreover, I have stopped wanting things that I really don't need. Not all but at least, I am making some few steps now. It just surprised me.

And you know what.
This is what I want. The best part is
Jesus is doing it for me. No self-effort or struggle at all.

He is just soooo amazing!

Jesus, you are one great Man!

Thank you for redeeming me from all the negativities
in this world.

With you, I am well synced!

Happy Monday everyone!!!
