The SURGEON

A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call ASAP, changed his clothes and went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy’s father waiting in the hall. Once seeing him, the dad yelled: “Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have the sense of responsibility?” The doctor smiled and said: “I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call…… And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work.” “Calm down? What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son died, what would you do?” said the father angrily. The doctor smiled again and replied: “I will say what Job said in the Holy Bible, “From dust we came and to dust we return, blessed be the name of God.” Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go and intercede for your son, we will do our best by God’s grace.” “Giving advice when not concerned is so easy,” murmured the father. The surgery took many hours, after which the doctor went out happily, “Thank God! Your son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way, running. “If you have any questions, ask the nurse!!” “Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait so I could ask about my son’s state?” the father questioned the nurse. The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son died yesterday in an accident, he was at the burial when we called him for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running to finish his son’s burial.” NEVER JUDGE ANYONE because you never know how their life is, what is happening, or what they are going through.

Don't Sweat The Small Stuff

"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live." Today, I finally understood what "death" really means.... - laugh at yourself - laugh hard - hold hands - say sorry - be yourself - pray a lot - dream big - expect less - don't sweat the small stuff - lend a hand - try your best - love, love, love - make friends - be free - believe - eat healthy - feel sexy - learn something new - keep learning - be strong - appreciate - cry if you must - smile - don't hold back - be spontaneous - rest well - acknowledge - be thankful - stop over analyzing - mean what you say - give way - spend time - seize the moment - forgive - loosen up most especially.... have faith. Don't let these things die within you. We need these things to really know what good life is all about.

Righteous Through The Cross

Aren't you glad that your eternal life doesn't depend on your behavior?
It depends on how obedient Jesus was at the cross.

Everyday as we live ...
we fail.. we stumble...we sometimes hate, get pissed off, in a bad mood, or confused. That's normal. It may not ok but don't worry. As you go live in Jesus
each day He will transform you inwardly.

For now, you gotta rejoice in this truth.
That your righteousness comes from Jesus and not through your good works.

Halleluyaaaah!

"I am RIGHTEOUS not because of my good or bad behavior but through Jesus' sacrifice at the Cross. Jesus died for my sins, sickness and poverty. So today I can live Totally Free, Healthy and Prosper in His own way. amen !! "

You Are God's Beloved

Most of the time in our lives we get confused of who and what we really are.
Like in my own experience, there are moments when I start to wonder and ask senseless questions like,
"What's my purpose here on earth?"
"What's my worth?"
"Why am I still here while most of my friends are enjoying their success?"
"Why I don't have this?"
"Why I don't have that?"

Blah..blah..blah..

It's gets so sickening right?

Haha!

But I tell you my friend. Don't get swayed by those nonsense thoughts if ever it will attack you. It happens but you can prevent it from attacking you again by backing it all up with God's Words. In Jeremiah 29:11, God promises you a good future. He knows His great plans for you because He only wants to give you good things and restful future.

My friend, God doesn't lie. So keep this beautiful verse in your heart and thoughts always.



Lastly,
You can tell this to yourself everyday....every moment.

I do that too. :) and it amazing to grasp in this wonderful truth!

Lift Songs Of Praise To The Lord

God wants us to walk as wise men and women, and not as fools. (Ephesians 5:15) Now, He will not tell us to walk in wisdom without showing us how. That is why His Word goes on to say, “Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” So what is the will of God? The next two verses tell us how to identify it: “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord”. (Ephesians 5:18–19) As you allow yourself to be filled with the Spirit by lifting songs of praise to the Lord, singing or speaking (God knows some of us can’t sing!) psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, and making melody in your heart to the Lord, God promises that you will know what His will is for your situation. You will then have the wisdom to decide wisely what to do next. I have found this to be true in my own life. Whenever I face a difficult situation, the more I think about it, the more confused I get. The more I try my best to come up with a smart solution, the further the answer seems to get from me. But when I turn away from my problem and turn to God, singing in the Spirit and praising Him, I get a clearer perspective of the problem when I come back to it later. I also find an inner prompting to make certain decisions which in the end, turn out to be better than anything I could have come up with on my own. So my friend, lift up songs of praise to the Lord, whether times are good or bad. For when you fill your mouth with praises to God, He will lead you and guide you in all the affairs of your life. Even if you are stuck with a problem, He will show you the way to go or make a way out for you. Either way, you will get the wisdom and help that you need! Thought For The Day When you fill your mouth with praises to God, He will lead you and guide you in all the affairs of your life.

Because You Have Jesus

If you feel rejected, depressed and frustrated, just look up.
Because up there, God is smiling at you ready to hug you..

Just come to Him boldly. He knows your weakness and strength.


Because the truth is God loves you so much.

He loves you that He gave up His only Son Jesus
just to have you back again. ( John 3:16)

Oh so beautiful right?

What an amazing truth!

So stop judging your worth to things or people that you don't have.

You have Jesus!

And in this life, that's the most awesome thing that could ever happen to you.

When you have Jesus, everything else that's good will follow. (Psalm 23)

Amen!!

The King Is Not Angry With You by Joseph Prince

The King Is Not Angry With You by Joseph Prince

Proverbs 19:12
12 The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

The Bible tells us that the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8) But have you ever wondered why he acts like a roaring lion?

It has something to do with a lion’s roar. In the Bible, the roaring of a lion speaks of the king’s wrath — “The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion”. So when the devil walks about like a roaring lion, he is trying to give you the impression that the King is angry with you. And when you believe that God is angry with you, the devil knows that he has got you.

When you think that God is angry or displeased with you, you will not be confident of His love toward you. Instead, you will expect and fear punishment from Him. And you will want to stay away from Him because you do not wish to incur His wrath any further.

But the truth is that God is not angry with you, even when you fail or blow it, because all your sins have already been judged in the body of His Son at the cross. As the Lamb of God, Jesus became your burnt offering. That is why He said, “I thirst.” (John 19:28)

Those who heard Him say that at Calvary that day thought that His thirst was physical. Actually, His thirst was spiritual because He was being “burnt” by the fire of God’s wrath. He was being judged for our sins. His body exhausted all of God’s wrath until every claim of God’s holiness was satisfied and His wrath appeased!

Now, there is a law called “the law of double jeopardy”, which states that the same crime cannot be tried twice. Today, the fire of God’s wrath will never fall on you as a believer because it has already fallen on His Son at the cross. He judged your sins then, but in the body of His Son.

So right now, you are not under the King’s wrath but His favor. And His favor rains down on you like dew on the grass every morning!
