Happy NEW YEAR!

This is the language of the majority of the whole world right now, but what really change? What is the new thing about the new year? Has anything really changed as new from old?

So what is the significant thing apart from the black-and-white readings that clarified the new year? This has call for a better thought and understanding.

As children of God we need to cross-check our own personal lives and discover msny old and inappropriate things of all kinds in us so as to change them to new but better, such as our characters and attitudes towards God and our fellow Brothers even our services unto the Lord together with responses to situations so as to be convinced that we are actually entering into New era which we call New Year and see how things around us that have remained adamant would also responds to the changes we have in ourselves.

Obviously, changes bring about changes I mean whenever there is a change in something there tends to be change in the affected things so why don’t we try to change for better this year so as to experience better changes in our tolal lives.

May the holy Spirit of God help us to do this as the year goes by in Jesus name. Amen. ….Raph

Dialogue of Salvation.

CHALLENGE: Time n again I’ve read that through God’s grace we are saved. Does that mean that our good works n deeds doesn’t matter? Does that mean that even f we commit mortal sin we are saved because of God’s grace? Does that mean that even if commit mortal sin in the future we are already saved through God’s grace? If this the case, what’s the use of being a good person. These questions really nagged my mind. I hope I can be enlightened on this. My religion is different from but I know you are well versed on these matters.

RESPONSE: salvation is a one time event, where Jesus’ payment on the cross is inacted on your behalf and our gracious Lord “gives” salvation to you. It is ALL of God and none of you (God is doing all the work and you are doing nothing). After salvation you are commanded to do a few things. Grow in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus and do good works. Growing up in Christ is a partnership with Jesus. Someone committing sin is like breaking a covenant of Salvation again and again whenever he committed the sin, and remember, when you are in a partner with someone, whenever you disappoint that person the deed of that partnership I mean the rules and regulation of that partnership is broken and you need to apologize and or face an internal penalty, it’s the same thing that happened when a Christian turn back to God and said lord I am sorry forgive me. The question is there will be a day that you will be looking for a chance to repent or to apologize it may not be possible it might be a time that you are not granted the grace and you become a backslider. God will help us. As you obey God’s word you grow up in Christ. The good works you do have nothing to do with salvation and has everything to do with obeying the Lord because of the salvation He provides. It’s called decipleship. Salvation and decipleship are two totally different things. One is God doing everything and the other is you doing something BECAUSE of what God did for you. As Jesus said, IF you love Me you’ll obey my commands.

As You Wait

As You Wait

Dear brothers and sisters, be patient as you wait for the Lords return. Consider the farmers who patiently wait for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They eagerly look for the valuable harvest to ripen. (James 5:7, NLT)

God has put dreams and desires in every person’s heart. But most of the time, there’s a season of waiting involved. Maybe you’re waiting for a relationship to improve; waiting to get married; waiting for a promotion, or waiting to overcome an illness. Much of life is spent waiting. But there’s a right way to wait and a wrong way to wait. Too often, when things don’t happen on our timetable, we get down and discouraged or anxious and fretful. That’s because we’re not waiting the right way.
In fact, at that we discouraged it implies that we are not waiting but of course tired and doubtful which leads to complaint and grumbling which are definitely the signs that one can no longer wait. What should always encourage you is when you wake up and see yourself it’s an assurance that there is Hope for you, for the Bible says ‘weeping may endure for a night, but Joy comes in the morning’. Rise up and ‘there is for me’ repeat this three times as you read.

Notice that today’s verse doesn’t say if you wait, it says as you wait. The fact is that we’re all going to wait. It goes on to say that we should consider how the farmer waits—patiently and eagerly. We’re not supposed to sit around discouraged; we’re supposed to be hopeful, positive and full of expectancy!

No matter what you are believing for, expect things to change in your favor. Today could be the day that God turns it all around. As you wait with patience and expectancy, you’ll open the door for God to move. He’ll fight your battles, and you’ll see that abundant harvest He’s promised in every area of your life!

Prayer/Meditation.
Father, today I choose to wait expectantly for You. I trust that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf. I put my trust and hope in You knowing that You have good things in store for my future in Jesus name. Amen.
