GLORIOUS MIGHT
Saturday, December 3rd, 2011Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the
will of God, and Timothy our brother,
To the holy and faithful brothers and
sisters in Christ at Colosse:
Grace and peace to you from God our
Father.
We always thank God, the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
because we have heard of the love you
have for all the saints- the faith and love
that spring from the hope that is stored up
for you in heaven and that you have already
heard about in the word of truth, the gospel
(Best News Ever) that has come to you.
All over the world this gospel is bearing
fruit and growing, just as it has been doing
among you since the day you heard it and
understood God’s grace in all its truth.
You learned it from Epaphras, our dear
fellow servant, who s a faithful minister
of Christ on our behalf, and who also
told us of your love in the Spirit.
For this reason, since the day we
heard about you, we have not
stopped praying for you and asking
God to fill you with the knowledge of
His will through all spiritual wisdom
and understanding.
And we pray this in order that you may
live a life worthy of the Lord and may
please Him in every way:
bearing fruit in every good work,
growing in the knowledge of God,
being strengthened with all power
according to His glorious might so
that you may have great endurance
and patience, and joyfully giving
thanks to the Father Who has
qualified you to share in the
inheritance of the saints in the
kingdom of light.
For He has rescued us from the
dominion of darkness and brought us
into the kingdom of the Son He loves,
in Whom we have redemption, the
forgiveness of sins.
He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn over all creation.
For by Him all things were created:
things in heaven and on earth,
visible and invisible, whether thrones
or powers or rulers or authorities;
all things were created by Him and for Him.
He is before all things, and in Him all things
hold together.
And He is the head of the body, the church;
He is the beginning and firstborn from among
the dead, so that in everything He might have
the supremacy. For God was pleased to have
all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him
to reconcile to Himself all things, whether
things on earth or things in heaven, by making
peace through His blood, shed on the cross.
(Colossians 1.1-20).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
FORGIVE
Thursday, April 28th, 2011Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe
yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you
may have against one another.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
And over all these virtues put on love which
binds them all together in perfect unity.
(Colossians 3.12-14).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also

Thursday, January 14th, 2010KINGLY
If children, we are heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ.
God acted on our behalf, so we can be heirs like Abraham.
Having become heirs, we are now co-heirs with Christ.
This is all God’s doing. Fulfilled in Jesus Christ we become
partakers of the divine nature through the Holy Spirit,
the spirit of promise and great hope, of faith and of love.
Hope that is seen is not hope, because what is seen is only
a reflection of the new reality. We are winners with Jesus Christ
participating in His Victory.
We are co-heirs, joint-heirs if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may
be also glorified together.
This is becuse the sufferings of this life remind us of the Passion and Cross
of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ.
In the Spirit we are able to comprehend deeply that God is there for us,
in us a greater weight of glory. He is an ever present help in time of need.
” For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be
compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us. For the earnest
expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.
For the creature was made subject to futility, not willingly, but by the
reason of Him Who has subjected the same in hope, because the creature
itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the
liberty of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole
creation groans and labors in pain together until now. And not only the
creation, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, we
ourselves also groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, the
redemption of our body. For by hope we were saved. Now hope that is
seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen? But if we hope for
what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
(Romans 8.18-25).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU AND WE LOVE YOU LORD JESUS!
