INTENSE LOVE

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Among whom 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 his mercy,

because of His intense love with

which He loved us,

Even when we were dead in trespasses,

made us alive together with Christ in

fellowship and union with Christ He gave

us the very life of Christ Himself, His

resurrection life, for it is by grace, His

favor which you did not deserve that you

were saved, delivered from judgement

and made partakers of Christ’s salvation).

( Ephesians 2.3-5).

 

PRAISE AND MEDITATION POINTS:

1) God rescued us from a carnal and

sinful existence.

2) His rescue mission was accomplished

because of His rich mercy and intense

love toward us.

3) While we were spiritually dead and

physically dying, He made us alive by

His life in, through and by Jesus Christ

our Lord and our Savior.

AMEN! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!

RECONCILED

Friday, October 30th, 2009

And you He made alive when

you were dead in trespasses

and sins

In which at one time you walked.

You were following the course

and fashion of this world, following

the prince of the power of the air.

You were obedient to and under the

control of the spirit that still constantly

works in the sons of disobedience.

(Ephesians 2.1 and 2).

POINTS FOR PRAISES
AND MEDITATION:

1) Before our salvation,before

 we were reconciled,

were spiritually dead.

2) The only way to spiritual

rebirth is by acknowledgement

of Jesus Christ as our Lord and

Savior. Upon repentance and

baptism we are born again.

3) Prior to this spiritual rebirth

the natural person is under the sway

of the evil spirits following the prince

of the power of the air, the devil.

4) Our salvation and spiritual rebirth

positions us under the God’s favor.

5) This rebirth is described by our Lord

and Savior Jesus Christ:

” I assure you, most solemnly I tell you,

that unless a person is born again from

above, he cannot ever see ( know,

experience) the kingdom of God.”

(John 3.3).

As He explains this process:

” I assure you, most solemnly

I tell you, unless a man is born of

water and the Spirit, he cannot ever

enter the kingdom of God.

What is born of the flesh is flesh

and what is born of the Spirit

is spirit”

( John 3. 5 and 6).

 

PRAISE THE LORD! HALLELUJAH!

DEAD TO THE LAW

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

Do you not know brothers and sisters,

for I am speaking to those who are

acquainted with the Law, that the legal claims

have power over a person only for as

long as he or she is alive?

For instance, a married woman is bound

by law to her husband as long as he lives,

but if her husband dies, she is discharged

from the law concerning her husband.

Accordingly, if while her husband lives,

she marries another man, she will be

called an adulteress, but if her husband

dies, she is free from that law, so that

if she marries another man she is not an

adulteress.

Likewise my brothers and sisters you

have undergone death as to the Law

through the crucified body of Christ,

so that you may now belong to Another,

to Him Who was raised from the dead

in order that we may bear fruit to God.

( Romans 7.1-4).

Consider this and meditate:

1) The Law stipulated the codes

of behavior that is accepted by God.

2) We are alive in a new way which

brings about true righteousness,

spiritual life and eternal union with

God through our Lord  and Savior Jesus

Christ who rose from the dead and brought

about our justification and sanctification.

TRUE FREEDOM

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

TRUE FREEDOM

Even so consider yourselves also

dead to sin and your relation to it

broken, but alive to God, living in

unbroken fellowship with Him, in

Christ Jesus.

Therefore do not let sin rule in you

mortal body, that you should obey it

in its lusts.

And do not present your members

as instruments of unrighteousness

to sin, but present yourselves to God

as being alive from the dead, and your

members as instruments of righteousness

to God.

For sin shall not have dominion over you,

for you are not under law but under grace.

What then, shall we sin because we are not

under law but under grace? Certainly not!

Do you not know that to whom you present

yourselves as servants to obey, you are that one’s

servants whom you obey, whether of sin leading

to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

But thank God that though you were servants of sin,

yet you obeyed from the heart that form of  teaching

to which you were delivered.

And having been set free from sin, you have become

servants of righteousness.

( Romans 6.11-18).

Consider the following:

1) The meaning of freedom

2) Thought, purpose and action

patterns that lead to true freedom

Meditate and pray about these.

The Holy Spirit guides God’s children

into all truth and obedience to His will.

TRUE FREEDOM IS DOING THE THINGS
WHICH BRING ETERNAL DIVIDENDS
