GOD KNOWS 

​Be not Deceived by Wrongdoings 

+Some of us think that because no one sees us when we do wrong, or hear the evil thoughts we think toward others that we will get away with those wrongdoings. 

+God sees it and He hears it and He will hold us responsible and accountable for all of our wrongdoings. 

1 Sam 16:7 

…for man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart. 

Hebrews 4:13 

…but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him (God) with whom we have to do. 

God  says , ““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.{ Isaiah 1:18‭-‬20}.

LISTEN  

Luke 5::22  said , “But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? 

+My prayer for us is that we continue to think His thoughts toward others, speak His Words one to another, and do those things to each other that are pleasing in His sight. 

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him. 

•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

Another chance

​Excellent message:
It was their anniversary, and Aisha was waiting for her husband Rajiv to show up.
Things had changed since their marriage, the once cute couple couldn’t-live-without-each-other had turned bitter.
Fighting over every little thing, both didn’t like the way things had changed.
Aisha was waiting to see if Rajiv remembered it was their anniversary!
Just as the door bell rang she ran to find her husband wet and smiling with a bunch of flowers in his hand.
The two started re-living the old days. Making up for fights, then was d plan for champagne, light music And it was raining! It was perfect.
But the moment paused when the phone in the bedroom rang.
Aisha went to pick it up and it was a man. “Hello ma’am I’m calling from the police station. Is this Mr Rajiv Mehra’s number?”
“Yes it is!”
“I’m sorry ma’am; but there was an accident and a man died.
We got this number from his wallet; we need you to come and identify his body.”
Aisha’s heart sank.!!! She was shocked!.
“But my husband is here with me?.”
“Sorry ma’am, but the incident took place at 2 pm, when he was boarding the train.”
Aisha was about to lose her conscience.
How could this happen?!.
She had heard about the soul of the person coming to meet a loved one before it leaves!.
She ran into the other room.
He was not there. It was true! had left her for good!!.
Oh God she would have died for another chance to mend every little fight! She rolled on the floor in pain. She lost her chance! Forever!.
Suddenly there was a noise from the bathroom, the door opened and Rajiv came out and said “Darling, I forgot to tell you my wallet got stolen today”.
LIFE MIGHT NOT GIVE YOU A SECOND CHANCE. SO NEVER WASTE A MOMENT WHEN YOU CAN STILL MAKE UP FOR YOUR WRONGS!!!.
Let’s start making amends.
To parents
To siblings
To friends
And many more.
No one has a promised tomorrow.
Have a wonderful Life with no regrets!.
Many are landlords in the CEMETRY,

But we are here, still worshiping in His

SANCTUARY,

He has been keeping us since JANUARY,

His good news filled up our DIARY,

He’s indeed an awesome God!

If u know he is truly an awesome GOD & U are alive today, He is the reason…send to ten of your contacts to testify.

THE  LOVE OF  MONEY  has side effects  

​It’s  the time of year,where  people  sell their soul to the devil,for an unsatisfactory  bogus  bargain  of a lifetime . Greed,is motivated  by pride and lust for money and things. But there  are a few things  God wants  to tell  you.

“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?  Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?  For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”{Mark 8:36‭-‬38}

Moreover the profit of the land is for all; even the king is served from the field. He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver; Nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity. When goods increase, They increase who eat them; So what profit have the owners Except to see them with their eyes? The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, Whether he eats little or much; But the abundance of the rich will not permit him to sleep. There is a severe evil which I have seen under the sun: Riches kept for their owner to his hurt. But those riches perish through misfortune; When he begets a son, there  is nothing in his hand. As he came from his mother’s womb, naked shall he return, To go as he came; And he shall take nothing from his labor Which he may carry away in his hand. And this also is a severe evil— Just exactly as he came, so shall he go. And what profit has he who has labored for the wind? All his days he also eats in darkness, And he  has much sorrow and sickness and anger. Here is what I have seen: It  is good and fitting for  one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him; for it is his heritage. As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God. For he will not dwell unduly on the days of his life, because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart.{Ecclesiastes 5:9‭-‬20}

Finally  ,hear this:

“Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds  of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He  who  is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of Lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen. Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let  them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life”,[ 1 Timothy 6:6‭-‬19].

THANKING GOD

If you are alive and have nothing to be thankful for,then you are not of this earth. Thanks giving day is special to me ,because I use that opportunity to reflect on all the things God did for me since the year started, the trials,storms,headache,heartache,financial ache,physical ache,and many other aches. When I look back I can truly say that God’s been there,I am His testimony,of the storms He brought me through,the dangers seen and unseen He kept me from,the supplying of all my needs according to His riches in glory,through Christ Jesus ,the people He remove from my life, who was a distraction,and hindrance to His plans for me. So I have so much to thank the Lord for. Don’t you have things to be thankful for ?

  Psalms 92:1-2 says,”It is good to give thanks unto the Lord,and to sing praises unto thy  Name ,O Most High,to show forth thy loving kindness in the morning ,and thy faithfulness every night”. 

 In everything give thanks,for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you,1Thessalonians 5:18 tells us. I must warn you however,that God’s anger will come down on ungrateful,and unthankful folks,as Numbers21:5-8 shows us. If you are not thankful,then you are complaining and murmuring,God sent fiery serpents on them then, can you imagine what deadly thing might be coming your way ,because of un-thankfulness ,what do you really want to feel, His wrath or love? So let’s start to be thankful ,show an attitude of gratitude to the God who is always faithful. “Oh,give thanks unto the Lord for He is good,and His mercy endureth forever” according to ( 1 Chronicles 16:34,Psalms 106:1,Ps.107:1,Ps.118:1) that’s confirmation for me,you don’t have to put a gun to my head,and force me to believe. 

As 2 Corinthians 2:14 says,”Now thanks be to God,who always leads us in triumph in Christ,and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge”. And whatever you do in word or deed,do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus,giving thanks to God and the Father by Him,says,Colossians 3:17. Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ.(Ephesians 5:20). One of my favorites is 2 Corinthians 9:15″Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift”. Which to me is found in John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that ,He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes on Him should not perish ,but have everkasting life”. Did you accept His gift,so that you will always have something to be thankful for? Then accept His gift now,go to the top of the page,click on to the salvation page,and get started,so that you have plenty to thank the Lord for. Even in prayer we have to be thankful as Philippians 4:6 says,”Be anxious for nothing,but in everything,by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving,let your request be made known unto God. So no matter what,you better give thanks,Jesus did it,so who do you think you are ?

Finally ,meditate  on this:

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must  do.  But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.[Colossians 3:12‭-‬17 ]

THANK YOU LORD

​This week and for the rest of the year,will you join me,and give God thanks daily. 
“Oh, give thanks to the Lord , for He  is good! For His mercy endures forever. Oh, give thanks to the God of gods! For His mercy endures forever. Oh, give thanks to the Lord of Lords! For His mercy endures forever: To Him who alone does great wonders, For His mercy endures forever; To Him who by wisdom made the heavens, For His mercy endures forever” psalms 137:1-5

However,Colossians 3:12-17 says,” Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of  mind, meekness, longsuffering; 

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as  Christ forgave you, so also do all of you.  And above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also all of you are called in one body; and be  all of you thankful.  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.  And whatsoever all of you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving  thanks to God and the Father by him”. 

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him. 

•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

God and His word is truth

​1 Thessalonians 5:21 

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 

Romans 3:4 …let God be true, but every man a liar…

+There is absolutely no true apart from God. 

+Our personal experiences should never be used to validate the Word of God. The Word of God validates our personal experiences. 

+When a Believer trust in God for healing and gets healed.  

+Their healing does not validate the Word of God. 

+The Word of God validated their healing. 

+In other words healing is not real because you got healed. You got healed because healing real. Healing is truth. Healing was an established fact before you got it. If it weren’t so you couldn’t have gotten healed. 

Praise the Lord!

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.

LIVING  FOR  THE  ONE  WHO  DIED  FOR  US  

​For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him  thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he  is  a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to  be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. {2 Corinthians  5:16-21}

This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. Therefore, putting away lying, “ Let each one of  you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another. “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.{Ephesians 4:17‭-‬32}

FINALLY  

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]

AND:

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones. 《Proverbs 3:5‭-‬8》

YOU ARE VICTORIOUS

GOD has made you VICTORIOUS through Jesus Christ, His Son.
Your enemy the devil, is on death row awaiting his demise. Quit accepting defeat!
There is a devil running around, roaring lies to you, but he has no authority. He is only just a copy cat who wishes he was the Lion of Judah – Jesus Christ. He wants you to think he has power greater than the Lord’s and gives you images of Jesus, still today having to fight him for you. Jesus did that already, once and for all. Greater is He in you —the Spirit of the Living God, than he –the dumb devil, in the world. He has already been judged and is waiting for his time of demise, stripped of his authority.
Quit accepting defeat.
You are victorious in Christ Jesus.

Thank You Lord Jesus! Thank You Lord for all You did for us.  We don’t deserve it, but You did it anyway! I love You forever Jesus! ❤️
