THE INDESCRIBABLE GOD.

THE INDESCIBABLE GOD - 2 Corinthians 6:15This verse is a conclusion of Apostle Paul’s discussion about the collection of goods and money from the believers in order to share these blessings with others as gifts. He also mentioned that God loves those who give cheerfully and God will pour out His abundant blessings on them. But above all these gifts and blessings, there is one particular gift in which Apostle Paul calls the indescribable gift. That indescribable gift is none other than the salvation that we receive through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. There are no other gifts and blessings greater than the salvation that we receive. This is what we should primarily be thankful for. No riches in this world can be compared to the salvation that we receive from God. That is why we need to share this indescribable gift with others.  Today's Prayer Lord, thank You for the indescribable gift that You have given to me. Thank You for saving me and making me Your child. Help me Lord, to share this indescribable gift with others, so that they too can experience your unconditional Love. Amen. Thank you for being such an inspiration to us. We would appreciate it if you would take a minute and forward our daily emails to others. Tell them how Christ is working in your life and encourage them in their walk with our Lord, Jesus Christ. Thank You & God bless, stephensunday81@gmail.com

Are You on The Victory Side?

ARE YOU ON THE VICTORY SIDE?
"For whatsoever is born of God overcome the world: and this is the victory that overcome the world even our faith. Who is He that overcome the world, but He that believe that Jesus is the son of God." 1 John 5: 4-5"
http://bit.ly/2g5biEQ
There are two sides of life. First, victory side,second, losing side. There is no midway. The victory side is the side of the victorious. The side of those who have fought battles of life and won. Call this the winning side.

On the contrary, those who have fought the battles of life and lost or refuse to fight the battles of life and remain unfulfilled are at the losing side. Beloved, might be you don't know that life is full of battles and so there are battles to fight. Not only fighting them, you must win and not lose, otherwise the purpose of God for your life will not be fulfilled.

Might be you do not know also that you are not born to this world without a purpose. The purpose of God for your life is your divine destiny. Read what the Bible says, "Thine eyes did not see my substance yet been unperfect and in thy book all members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them"

Beloved, for this to come to reality, you have to fight some batters and you must win them. The battle include putting resistance to enemies of your destiny who would not want what was written concerning  you  to manifests as the sons of Jacob did to stop their brother, Joseph. ( Genesis 37: 19-20 ).

The household witchcraft are there, so also  are strongman of your Father's house,the prince of the air, principalities, powers, spiritual wickedness in high places, the unfriendly friends, the spirit spouse and several other hunter of destiny.
The Bible says, "who is he that overcome the world... 1 John 5:5. In other words, who is he that is on the victory side. Who is he that fought the battles of destiny and won? Who is he that tread upon the serpent and scorpions of this world and was not hurt? Who is he that fought disease and was made whole? Who is he that overcame the failures and poverty of his family line and stood shoulder higher than all members of his  family?

Only those who are  on the winning/victory side will stay with Jesus in the kingdom of  heaven while those who lost the battles because they did not have Christ, will stay with Satan in the kingdom of Hell which burns with sulfur and fire.
May God help us.

Drawing Closer To God. Is it of any Benefit?

DRAWING CLOSER TO GOD. IS IT OF ANY BENEFIT?
" I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, do not fear, I will help you- Isaiah 41:13".

It is the wish of God through Christ Jesus that you as a true Christian must be blessed. You must not lack in anything,both materially and spiritually. It is the wish of God that you must be happy and joyous always. Even, where non-believers are crying, you as a child of God must be laughing. No wonder Jesus said, "be joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer".

Drawing close to God is not easy because we live among people who lack faith in God and ridicule His promise of peace on earth- 2 Timothy 3:1, 4. Associating with people who love God help us to draw close to God. So we  need the encouraging associations of fellow believers at bible studies, seminars, symposium, talk and Christians shows among other associations with true Christians.

How drawing closer to the Lord God will made Him fulfill His promise in your life: 
If you draw close to God, He will fulfill His promise in your life. the Lord God says, I will never leave you and I will never abandon you. May be somebody put you at a disadvantage, never worry, God knows how to use it to your advantage. He will never abandon you. As a true Christian, let us come near to God.The Scriptures according to Hebrews 10:22-24, "So let us come near to god with a sincere heart and a sure faith , with hearts that have been purified from a guilty conscience and with bodies washed with clean water. Let us hold firmly to the hope we profess, because we can trust God to keep his promise".

Drawing Closer to God made you a winner : 
The battle is already won in His name. We were declared winners when Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross of Calvary. We are graven in God's palm. We are seated with Christ in 
the heavenly places, far above all principalities and powers, and might and dominion and every 
name that is named  not only in this world  but also  in the world to come. Amen.
Because David draw close to God, he prevailed over Goliath. Because Daniel draw closer to god in prayer, Daniel could not be eaten by lions. Because Mordecal draw closer to god in prayer, Haman was hanged in the hallow he drugged for Mordecal.

PRAYER QUOTES:
 I pray that each of you reading this will reap the benefits of God's great and precious promises in life according to his goodness and perfect will for you. Amen.

The Salvation Of Jesus Christ : JESUS Is The Only Means Of Salvation.

THE SALVATION OF JESUS CHRIST : JESUS IS THE ONLY MEANS OF SALVATION.

There is a lot of misunderstanding concerning God's plan of salvation. Some people think that their religion or the the joining of a Church save them. But religion does not save and never saves. Others  think their good life or their conformity to social standards is the key to salvation. Man can not lift himself up by his own bootstraps, neither can any human effort save from sin. Be assured that all the silver and gold in the world plus diamonds and costly  jewels cold not atone for one's sin.

   1 Peter 1:18,19 stated that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as silver and gold but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. Human works  can not save. salvation is a gift , "for by grace are we  saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the great and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not for works, lest any man can boast- Ephesians 2: 8-9.

Religious activities do not save. You be from any Christian denominations, i.e Catholic, Moslem, free thinkers, Eckanker and other faced this music very well. The only means of salvation is Jesus Christ, the son of God. Thou shall call His name Jesus: For He shall save His people from their Sins- Matthew 1:21.

 There is no salvation for there is none other name under heaven giving among them. Nicodemus, a Jewish leader was very religious, but Jesus declared to him, "You Must Be Born Again". Men will not be lost because of their sins but because they have failed to make use of God's remedy for sin.
He that believe on Him is not condemned, but he that believe not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God- john 3:18.

Brothers and Sisters, depending upon our Church membership or our religious exercise is a false hope. We must accept Jesus Christ for there is no other mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus- 1 Timothy 2:5.
Receive Jesus now, He will give you power to become a child of God- John 1:12. Now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with god because Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God- Romans 5:11.
THE POWER OF PRAYER : DID YOU KNOW?

What Make God Listens To Prayers.

 WHAT MAKE GOD LISTENS TO PRAYERS.

God will listen to our prayers If we can do the following:

We Must Belong to God.

“There is one God and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). Because Jesus is the mediator between us and God, we must give Him our total allegiance.

Before I yielded the control of my life to Jesus Christ, I would pray, but I was never sure if God was listening or would answer. After I asked Him to be the Lord of my life, I had confidence that God was hearing and answering my prayers.

We Must Pray to God the Father in the Name of His Son Jesus Christ.

Only the name of Jesus Christ gives us credibility with the Father — not our education, our wealth or poverty, our church, our background or our position — only Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “If you ask anything in my name, I will do it” (John 14:14).

Sometimes I use my husband’s name, or my church, or my work to gain credibility with people I meet. But only Jesus’ name gives us credibility with the Father.

We Must have a Clean Heart.

Psalm 66:18 says, “If I had known of any sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened to me.”

It is very important to keep a clean heart before God. Someone said, “I ‘fess them as I does them, I don’t bunch them.” Don’t wait until you go to church or a crisis arises in your life to confess your sins to God. As soon as you become aware of an attitude or action that is displeasing to God, admit that it is wrong and thank God for His forgiveness. 1 John 1:9 tells us that if we confess our sins, God is faithful to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

We Must have a Forgiving Spirit.

In Mark 11:25, Jesus says, “Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven my forgive your transgressions.”

Jesus makes it very clear that we can’t carry anger, hatred, or bitterness in our hearts toward anyone if we expect God to forgive us and/or hear our prayers.

We must Pray in Faith.

Jesus said in Matthew 21:22, “And everything you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.”

The very fact that you are asking God for your needs demonstrates your faith.

The answers come every time, but not always in the way we expect.  There are times when God answers prayer as soon as we pray. Other times we have to wait for them to be answered. Sometimes is answer is “No”, like all good parents, He gives us what is good for us, but not what is harmful to us, but He always  listens and answers.

---

If you want to be sure God is listening to your prayers, consider if you have ever asked Jesus Christ into your life, you can do so right now by submitting to him with a simple but powerful prayer.

“Lord Jesus, I want you to listen and answer my prayers, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.”

If you prayed this prayer, we would love to hear from you . Perhaps we could connect you with a mentor or provide resourceful links that could help you in your journey to know God in a deeper way.

 YES! I prayed this prayer

Is Your Jesus Too Small?

IS YOUR JESUS TOO SMALL?

I remember the remarkable success of a little book published by J.B. Phillips entitled Your God Is Too Small. It was a ringing challenge to seek a deeper understanding of the nature and character of God. It obviously struck a nerve as multitudes of people devoured the book in a quest to expand their knowledge of the majesty of God.

I wish that someone could provoke the same response with regard to Christ. In my years of publishing and producing educational materials for Christians, I have been puzzled by something strange. I have noticed that books about Jesus do not do well in Christian bookstores. I am not sure why this is so. Perhaps it has something to do with a widespread assumption that we already know a lot about Jesus or that there may be something irreligious about studying the person and work of Christ too deeply. Perhaps such study might disturb the simple faith we cling to.

My teaching career has spanned many decades. And though I have taught in the formal setting of colleges and seminaries, the bulk of my time has been devoted to adult lay education. This emphasis began in Philadelphia in the sixties when, while I was working as a seminary professor, I was approached by the pastor of the church my family attended to teach an adult course on the person and work of Christ. My class was composed of housewives, professional people, business people, and more. As we got into the material, I discovered a more passionate response to the content of my teaching than I had ever witnessed in the academic classroom. These people had never been exposed to any serious teaching of theology beyond what they had experienced in Sunday school. It was this class that pushed a button in my soul that catapulted me into the full-time endeavor of adult education.

Gentle Jesus, Meek and Mild

There seems to be something wrong with our understanding of Jesus. We speak in saccharine terms of “gentle Jesus, meek and mild,” and of his “sweetness,” but the depth and riches of his nature remain elusive to us. Now, I love to speak of the sweetness of Christ. There is nothing wrong with this language. But we need to understand what it is about him that makes him so sweet to believers.

When we consider Jesus as the second person of the Trinity, the eternal Logos who became incarnate, we note instantly that in any attempt to plumb the depths of his person we are stepping into the deep waters of searching for the nature of God himself. The Scripture says of Jesus in Hebrews 1:1–4:

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

Here the author of Hebrews describes Christ as “the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature.” Imagine someone who not only reflects the glory of God as Moses did after his encounter with God on Mount Sinai, but who actually is the very brightness of the divine glory.

The Very Glory of God

The biblical concept of divine glory is reiterated again and again in the Old Testament. Nothing can be likened to that glory that belongs to the divine essence and which he has placed above the heavens. This is the glory manifest in the theophany of the shekinah, the radiant cloud that displays the pure effulgence of his being. This is the glory of the One who dwells in light inaccessible, who is a consuming fire. This is the glory that blinded Paul on the Road to Damascus. The glory of Christ belongs to his deity as confessed in the ancient hymn, the Gloria Patria, composed by Trinitarians as they resisted the heresy of Arianism: “Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.”

Athanasius in commenting on Hebrews 1 declared, “Who does not see that the brightness cannot be separated from the light, but that it is by nature proper to it and co-existent with it, and is not produced after it?” Or as Ambrose proclaimed,

Think not that there was ever a moment of time when God was without wisdom, any more than there was ever a time when light was without radiance. For where there is light there is radiance, and where there is radiance there is also light. For the Son is the Radiance of his Father’s light, co-eternal because of eternity of power, inseparable by unity of brightness.

The Very Revelation of God

But what can be said of Christ’s being “the exact imprint of his nature”? Are not we all created in the image of God and does not this reference merely speak of Jesus’s being the perfect man, the one in whom the imago Dei has not been besmirched or corrupted? I think the text means more than that. Phillip Hughes says,

The Greek word translated “the very stamp” [“exact imprint”] here means an engraved character or the impress made by a die or a seal, as for example, on a coin; and the Greek word translated “nature” denotes the very essence of God. The principal idea intended is that of exact correspondence. This correspondence involves not only an identity of the essence of the Son with that of the Father, but more particularly a true and trustworthy revelation or representation of the Father by the Son.

We remember the request made to Jesus by Philip when he said, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us” (John 14:8). We need to meditate upon the response of Jesus in John 14:9–11:

Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, “Show us the Father”? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.

He who would taste the fullness of the sweetness of Christ, and perceive the total measure of his excellence, must be willing to make the pursuit of the knowledge of him the main and chief business of life. Such pursuits must not be hindered by sentimentality or season.

To help you enjoy the bigness and beauty of Christ in greater measure, always pray to God with prayer points.

Persecution Of Christians : Why You Must Pray Against Recurrence Of Umpqua Community College School Shooting And Other Persecuted Churches.

PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS : WHY YOU MUST PRAY AGAINST RECURRENCE OF 
UMPQUA COLLEGE SCHOOL SHOOTING AND PERSECUTED CHURCHES ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Persecution of Christians can be traced historically based on the biblical account of Jesus in the first century of the Christian era to the present time. Early Christians were persecuted for their faith at the hands of both Jews from whose religion Christianity arose and the Roman Empire which controlled much of the land across which early Christianity was distributed. Early in the fourth century, the religion was legalized by the Edict of Milan, and it eventually became the State church of the Roman Empire.

Christian missionaries, as well as the people that they converted to Christianity, have been the target of persecution, sometimes to the point of being martyred for their faith. There is also a history of individual Christian denominations suffering persecution at the hands of other Christians under the charge of heresy, particularly during the 16th century Protestant Reformation as well as throughout the Middle Ages when various Christian groups deemed heretical were persecuted by the Papacy.

In the 20th century, Christians have been persecuted by various groups, including by atheistic states such as the USSR and North Korea. During the Second World War members of some Christian churches were persecuted in Germany for resisting Nazi ideology.Hitler expressed a desire to destroy the influence of Christian churches within the Third Reich, seeing it as absurdity and nonsense founded on Jewish lies. He planned to do this after the war, and not during it, believing "that suited his immediate political purposes".

In more recent times the Christian missionary organization Open Doors (UK) estimates 100 million Christians face persecution, particularly in Muslim-dominated countries such as Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, Libya, Eritrea, Yemen,Ethiopia and Vietnam. Others are Iraq, Syria and North Korea.

                                                        Prayer

O Lord God, everyday we woke up, we are always fed with Christians been killed, slaughtered amd massacre all in the name of persecution. We are shocked O Lord with the news of senseless killing of the Umpqua Community College Students, the precious and value lives lost. Please, Lord, let the blood you shed on the cross of Calvary put ends to this senseless and barbaric killings.

 To those who lost one soul or the other, please comfort them in your name and let them know that only you and alone you is there saviour. Amen

How To Return Your Pain To God.

                         HOW TO RETURN YOUR PAIN TO GOD.

   Not that we need pain for the sake of it, but we need it for spiritual maturity. In god's hand, pain can bring about our growth(Hab. 12:11) says, "No discipline seems pleasant at first time, but painful. Later on, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it."
Being a Christian does not mean we won't fall, but it means Jesus will catch us when we do. Although pain may have come from evil source outside our own will, but we ought not to concern our self for where it has come from, but where it is leading us to.
  Some argue with themselves, this is unjust. we often asked, I did nothing to bring this pain on myself, so why do I have to bear it? In some cases, the pain will be unjust. Life itself is not just. Christianity does not teach that Jesus said, on earth you will have troubles but be of good cheer I have conquered the earth. At the center of Christianity there is a cross and that is the World's supreme injustice. But, as christian you can turn to God in pain and let him direct it to the beneficial end for you.
  There is no door marked Exit from pain for Christianity. After death is judgement, the pain we feel is not the test of our strength but the trying of our faith in Almighty god that develops our endurance. Do not forget PRAYER is the key to your success and victory in life. Return all pains with prayers to God.

                                               PRAYER POINTS.
The Lord blesses me and keeps me. he is the merciful Father from whom all help and blessings flow. He shows me his kindness, watches over me and give me peace. Although, I may faces trials and pains but in Christ Jesus, I am an overcomer. Amen

When Will You Share Your Testimony?

WHEN WILL YOU SHARE YOUR TESTIMONY?

Let me share with you how I started experiencing God of love reigning in my life. One day a man of God disclosed and led me to embrace four spiritual truths. 

 One, God of love created all his images including me with his intention of reigning in our lives for us to enjoy his love fully.

Two, Satan opposed God's intention by forcing himself into our lives to imprison and reign in us through self deceit and fear of death.

Three, God has instituted his salvation in Jesus Christ For us as we excercise our repentance and obedient-faith toward him. In hearing this, I did roundabout turn(Repentance) towards God. I then invited with obedient-faith the unseen crucified but risen Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord into my life. who used the efficacy of his blood, sacrificial death, and resurrection to destroy and bury Satan, Sin, Deceit and fear of death in my life. Jesus then created a new and holy nature in me with which He reconciles me with the Father and filled me with the Holy Spirit and fire for fullness of God to reign in my life.

 Four, God's reign demands constant fellowship of obedient-faith with God. Therefore, in my spiritual devotion every morning, I saturate my life and day with the redeeming blood of the Holy Spirit and Fire. God utilizes all these spiritual elements to reign in my life by revealing his will to me and giving me enablement of obedient-faith to claim his will  namely-love, transformation, righteousness, victory, blessings, fruitfulness, success, security and other goodness.
 You can take the same steps of repentance, obedient-faith, and constant  fellowship with God now and start experiencing the reign of God of love in your life forever.
