HE IS RISEN

YES! HE IS RISEN.

Christ is risen and alive forever more.

My Dear reader, have you considered the reason for his crucification?

Yes he was crucified, died, buried. HALLELUYAH the third day he arose. He is the reason for the season.

Christ died that you and I might have life and have it more abundantly. When he strecht his hands on the cross He cried and said "It is Finished" Meaning to say your difficulties is finished, Your depression, confussion, hardship, fear of failure, impossibilities are finished. He took all to the cross.

Therefore, Arise and Shine for your light is come the Glory of the Lord is RISEN upon you. (Isaiah 60:1)

As you know, Christians everywhere do celebrate Easter, their most important holiday of the year. Easter Sunday commemorates the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead three days after His crucifixion upon a Roman cross outside the city of Jerusalem 2,000 years ago. An act of simple faith in the finished work of Christ-complete payment for sins of the world--brings one eternal life and the gift of the God's indwelling Spirit.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved." (John 3:16,17). God Bless!

  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED.

Sometime, Our blessing may seem far away. The Holy Spirit may say, "Be Patient", Obey!

As time blow by we sometimes wondered why? You can't control the unavoidable so try ignore the negatives - Trust God and Pray.

NEGATIVES: Don't recycle them - throw them away! Good choices brings good will and happy hearts. Its a good thing to feel a negative depart. Outsmart satan today - lets start without delay. Obtain simple salvation, positive choices, and removing doubts from your life, ignore satan covert and choose wise choices. Do good and you'll be blessed in many ways. And by exercising good Christian morals will reflect thanks and praises in the heart.

Jesus is happy if we choose what is worthwhile. Are you blessed to be stressed? Then Smile. Don't let satan complicate your mind, write on toilet tissue "Negatives" things that tryed to weigh you down, then flush them out of your life. Intelligent choices each day will makes your negative feelings go away. Likes a river flows negatives also flows far astray. Jesus at the cross stretch his hands and said "it is finished."

Therefore; my dear reader "We are too blessed to be stressed" God is not calling perfection from you, He is calling you to fulfill his perfection in you. The eternal life is for you to know the invisible God. God wants us to have joy - Full joy is the open fellowship with him, In him is the light and no darkness at all (Jn 1:1-10) Show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light (1Peter 2:9)

May the Peace of our Lord remains with you in Jesus name - Amen.

  RACISM AND CHRISTIANITY

Yes! Racism and Christianity. Why? Why??

This is an important issue but yet agitating. Why should they be racism in Christendom is a question that many believers has pounded but yet to come to the conclussion. The reality of this fact is hidden in the heart of the born again Christians. It is imperative to note that despite the rapid spread of Christianity in today's world. Many so called followers of Christ (Christians) still nourish the idea of having what they called 'Black Church' or 'White Church'. These however, has contributed to the widely spread of hatred among Churches, Ministers, Denominations, and Church members.

As you may understand, our "God is not the author of confussion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints' (1Cor 14:33). Our God is the God of love and peace, that's one of the reason he gave us the greatest gift on earth. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). Therefore, if we as Christian professed to love Christ as he loved us, we should be able to love our fellow christian brethren, both in our congregation and outside our church. Regardless the color of their skin, faith, nationality, etc.

The aspect of painting 'JESUS' color white or black in your heart, I may state that it doesn't actually change God spiritual being, and it won't make him like you more than his will. Christianity needs to out grown this mannerism of hatred and racism in Christendom. And come to the reality of Christ desire on earth, and allowed his love to shine through us as a reflection for the loss world to see, and continue to revered his command that say' "Love your neighbor as yourself".

  WHY DO SATAN HATES ME?

- Ephesians 6: 10-13

Satan hates God and those that are under Gods authority. And because you are in God - satan hates you with a cruel hatred. As you may understand, he hates you not because of who you are but because of the God in you, for you were created in God's image, therefore; anything in God's image he definately will hate also.

Despite the satan cruelty; be assure that he only can do what God permits him to do. In Luke 22:31-33 Jesus confirmed to Simon Peter that satan has demanded to have Simon, that he may sift him as wheat. This is similar to what he did in Job's case as you know (Job 1: 1-12; 2:1) God evidently granted him his request, for Jesus adds "I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not". But remember Christ already appealed the wrath of God for us with His precious blood, and he will not suffer you to be tempted above what you are able to bear (1Cor 10:13)

Your joy is not dependent on your present circumstance, and remember; we have an advocate with the father, JESUS CHRIST the righteous (1 John 2:1) You don't have to go on today by living with what happened to you yesterday. Lets all negative things of yesterday go bye and embrace the day you are presently living with the focus of better achievement tomorrow in Jesus name (James 1:2-4). Therefore; let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us (Hebrews 12:1) The closer you get to the Lord, the more he will revain himself and power to you. God richly blessed you and your ministry in Jesus name. AMEN!

  THE GREAT CHRISTMAS JOURNEY

- Philippians 2:5-11

The First Stop of the great Christmas journey is the cradle of Bethlehem. As Jesus journeyed to the cradle of Bethlehem

* He suffered a great loss - 2 Corinthians 8:9, John 17:5
* He took on himself the limitation of man. With God, Jesus was limitless, but with men he was limited. As the saying goes... Oh, is that not the carpenter's son?
* He demonstrated His love for humankind.
The cradle of Bethlehem must be in our heart - John 3:16-17

The Second Stop on great Christmas journey is the Cross of Calvary.
* He humbles himself. Humbleness involved humiliation.
Death by crusification is a shameful death. Because the victim of the cross were striped, naked, spit upon, and raven bad words against. But Christ humbles himself to be crusified, even though he has the ability to fight back. He fully submitted himself to fulfill the cost of crusification. Jesus was not born to redeem the cost of death upon him. He was born to redeem the cost of death upon us - Matthews 1:20b -21
The Cross of Calvary must be in our lives - Matthews 16:24, 2Timoty 4:8

The Third Stop is the Crown. Crowned in Heaven
* Jesus is exonerated.
* Jesus is exalted forevermore. HALLELUJAH!

  GOD CAN FIX IT

There is a restoration going on today. Through Christ Jesus, God is building a strong army full of power and authority, engrafted in holiness.

You need to enlist into this army and live to defeat the forces of evil. "Come out from among, and be ye separate, saith the Lord" 2Corinthians 6:17. You are not made to be a defeat. God made you and He gave you dominion over your enemies.

My friend, anything that causes you pain; or whatever it is that causes you grief, sorrow and setback in any form or in any area of your life is an enemy. The enemy may differ from one person to the other. However, You must refuse to exchange your authority from any trick of the devil. You should always identify your authority with the name of Jesus because it is given to you in His name.

You must speak it, live it in Jesus name and your heart must agree with the words that proceed out of you, which is FAITH. God bless!

  GOT VISION?

Proverb 29:18 "Where there is no vision the people perish. But he who keeps the law happy is he". The amplified bible gives us some help with this scripture by helping us to see first what vision is. The vision most often talked about are those rare supernatural views that God gives, which need to be explained because they are so unusual. The word vision in this passage has to do with the revelation of God that brings lost people or people bound in sin first to understand something about God, then to fear him and finally to obey him. The idea is that disobedient people due to their ignorance of what God requires are naturally unhappy. They have no vision, they have no revelation of God and His holiness, no appreciation for His standards.

So, why do they perish? Because they know nothing of God's righteousness they go about to establish their own righteousness. They begin to establish their own laws instead of seeking to hear what almighty God has said. The VISION is not about focusing on yourself the Vision is to focus out of yourself to the eternity of God. God has given you an invitation, vision, or calling. It is your decision to follow him or stay where you are to do the same old things that you're used to doing.

Learn on how to expand the vision that God has given you. You see; there is more in knowing the power of God than knowing the scripture. You might know and quote all text of the bible but still far away from God anointing. The anointing and power of God comes from your personal relation with God. My friend Where is your Vision?
