WHO IS JESUS TO US

To me He is :
The Son of God (Matthew 2:15).
Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14;Matthew 1:23).
The Word (John 1:1&14).
The Lamb of God (John 1:29).
The Mediator (Galatians 3:19).
King of Kings,and Lord of lords (Revelation 19:16).
The Alpha and Omega (Revelation 2:6).
The Lord of all (Acts 10:3).
The Lord our righteousness (Romans 5:18).
The question is,? Who is He to you? All of the above, some if the above, or none of the above?
It’s time to know ,who Jesus is? And, His purpose for coming?
Christ is our Redeemer ,in
1Peter 1:18-19 Christ is our Redeemer ,and He has redeemed us with His blood.

Then Galatians 3:13 says, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us…
Psalms 103:4 tells us that,”The Lord redeems our lives from destruction”. Something, no one can do, except for God.
Listen
In Job 19:25 it says, For I know that my redeemer lives, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
•The Lord Jesus Christ is our Redeemer. He has delivered us from sin and all the consequences from sin by means of His sacrificial death on the cross and His shed blood.
•As the redeemed people of God in Christ Jesus we have a renewed and eternal life. We have available to us in Christ healing, deliverance, protection, provision, prosperity, godly authority and supernatural power.
•All that we have lost shall be restored to us by Christ Jesus our Redeemer.
Mark 10:30 But you shall receive an hundredfold now in this time…
(Joel 2:25 ERV) …I will pay you back for those years of trouble.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

ASK the Lord to fight for you

Plead my  cause, O Lord , with those who strive with me; Fight against those who fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help. Also draw out the spear, And stop those who pursue me. Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.” Let those be put to shame and brought to dishonor Who seek after my life; Let those be turned back and brought to confusion Who plot my hurt. Let them be like chaff before the wind, And let the angel of the Lord chase them. Let their way be dark and slippery, And let the angel of the Lord pursue them. For without cause they have hidden their net for me in a pit, Which they have dug without cause for my life. Let them not rejoice over me who are wrongfully my enemies; Nor let them wink with the eye who hate me without a cause. For they do not speak peace, But they devise deceitful matters Against the quiet ones in the land. They also opened their mouth wide against me, And said, “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen it. ” This You have seen, O Lord ; Do not keep silence. O Lord, do not be far from me. Stir up Yourself, and awake to my vindication, To my cause, my God and my Lord. Vindicate me, O Lord my God, according to Your righteousness; And let them not rejoice over me. Let them not say in their hearts, “Ah, so we would have it!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up.” Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion Who rejoice at my hurt; Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor Who exalt themselves against me. Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, “Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.” And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness And of Your praise all the day long.
Psalms 35:1-7, 19-28

EXHORTATIONS to CHRISTIANS

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.{Romans 12:1-3 }.

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
{I Peter 1:13-19 }.

And you shall be holy to Me, for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine.{Leviticus 20:26}

Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ: Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage. But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And on some have compassion, making a distinction; but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh. Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen. {Jude 1:1-2, 14-25 }

GOD’S GOOD GIFTS

If the man or woman is a gift from God to you,then you will not walk down divorce road,nor separation lane.

“Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning”. {
James 1:16-17 }
So,whatever you have if it’s not perfect then it’s not a gift from God. However, Romans 8:26-28 says,
“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose”.

Yes,we all make mistakes ,but God will work it out for good,if we admit we make a mistake, and trust Him to correct it for us.
But we must obey Him,starting now, God says in Isaiah 1:18-20 :
“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord , “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword”; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken”.
GOD WANTS TO SATISFY US WITH GOOD THINGS. If and when we do as He says.
Bless the Lord , O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.{Psalms 103:2-5 }

Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God. For the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God, while, through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men, and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the exceeding grace of God in you. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
{ 2 Corinthians 9:10-15}

king David said,
What, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living! Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.
[Psalm 27:13-14 AMP]

A DOSE OF THE WORD

Just as how many insist that we take the flu shot. I insist that we take a shot of the word of God. 3 John 2 says, “Beloved, I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health as your soul prospers.

Therefore, if we cast down the devils imaginations and every high thing, like sickness, that exalt itself against the knowledge of God, and bring them into captivity to the obedience of Christ, as 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says. Isaiah 53:6 reminds us that by His stripes we are healed.

Then we will have successfully submit to God, resist the devil so that he will flee with his sickness and everything else that he has that is not good for us. And draw near to God, so that He can draw near to us as James 4:7-8 suggest.

Remember Jeremiah 29:11, God has said He knows the thoughts he thinks toward us, thoughts of peace and not of evil, and to give us an expected end.

YOU CAN’T SAVE YOUR SELF

It’s so sad ,when people actually think, that the good things they do,will get them into heaven,while others think that they can outsmart God,with their masters,and doctorate degrees. But God wants you to know, that you can only be saved,by His grace and mercy, here is what He said:
“And you He  made  alive,  who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it  is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them”.{Ephesians 2:1-10}
So His suggestion is :
” I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God”.
{Romans 12:1-2}

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
I Thessalonians 5:23-24, 28
