Celebrating Our Risen Savior!

Celebrating Our Risen Savior!

Comments 0 Comment

Today is the day many Christians celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. He is the Risen Savior! It is the day that Jesus forever defeated death, and because of what He did, we get to live in eternity with Him. 

The Bible says in John 3:16, “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.” What a gift!

[I know everyone doesn’t believe that, but on this blog, we do.] 

For me, this is an awesome opportunity to show God how much we appreciate Him. Here’s the amazing thing…He didn’t just do it for those who loved Him, He did it for those who may never receive Him as Lord and Savior. That’s the kind of God we serve.

And although we could never repay Him for what He did–we can honor Him for what He continues to do.

He continues to show up. He continues to make a way. He continues to be our Provider. Our Healer. Our Redeemer, and our King. 

So, today God we honor You with the praise of our lips not for what You have done, but for who You are.

Hallelujah! Thank You, LORD!

Until next time!

Be blessed

You Gotta Know Who You Are

You Gotta Know Who You Are

Everything means something. We can’t live our lives looking over our shoulders, but we can be aware of the tricks the enemy sometimes plays with us.

First, he wants us to believe that we are not saved.

That is the first lie. When we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior…we are saved and nothing can change that. The Bible says that we cannot even come to God unless He first draws us. That means that He saw us and sent Jesus…just for us. He knows everything about us and He still felt that we were worth it. We are special in God’s eyes, and He would move heaven and earth for us.

Then, he wants us to believe that our ministry is not effective.

Each one of us has something God uses to bless His people. It can be something as simple as having a bubbly personality. We may never know how many people we encourage by simply smiling. Maybe people find us easy to talk to, and we enjoy having conversations with folks. When God gets the glory out of whatever we do…we are operating in our purpose. We get so caught up in what we think our purpose should look like that we sometimes miss God’s blessing. We can’t let the enemy mess with our minds.

Lastly, he doesn’t want us to know who we really are.

I think sometimes we even forget who we are. We are God’s masterpiece. He called us. He not only knows every hair on our heads, He knows us by name. He has made us to be powerful not pitiful…a victor, not a victim…a warrior not a worrier. When we walk in the authority of the Lord, Jesus Christ, no weapon that is formed against us will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). It can’t. That’s God promise to us. Receive it today.

And to make sure we keep our minds focused on the right things, Philippians 4:8 says, 

“Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious–the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.”

Well said.

Until next time

Be blessed
