Kingdom Of Christ

Belonging to the kingdom of Christ means you know the kingdom has come. In Matthew 12:28, Jesus said, “If I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.” He said similar things when he healed people and showed his authority. That is the whole point of the miraculous earthly ministry of Jesus. He was proving that God had come into the world in a new and powerful way. Satan would be bound like a dog on a short leash. Death would no longer have the power of fear in human hearts. Because the king had come, his kingdom had come. In Luke 17:21, the Pharisees ask Jesus when the kingdom of God would come. Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, ‘Here it is, or there it is,’ because the kingdom of God is within [or among] you.” This was a radical statement. When everybody looked forward to the day when God would fix everything, set up his kingdom in a specific nation, and sort out the good guys and the bad guys once and for all, Jesus said, take a look, and you will see that God’s reigning power is right here among you, because I am among you.

Belonging to the kingdom of Christ also means you have a different source of life. In John 3:5 Jesus said, “No one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. You must be born again.” Living in the kingdom of Christ means that you have a different way of life because you have a different source of life. Your spiritual birth means that your heart longs for what God loves, your emotions respond to things that are good and right, and your mind is awakened to what God is doing and sharpened by the specific teachings that come through his word. You’re alive to God and alive to the world around you. When you see kingdoms in conflict your heart breaks because you know that if everybody was born into and lived under the goodness and authority of the kingdom of Christ, life would be different.

Ungrateful Heart

Consider this: 

God didnt give us our mouths to complain. We may not hv everything we wld like today, in fact, we may be dealt w a whole lot of problems, but murmuring is going to make matters worse. We need to quit looking at what we dont hv n start thanking God for what we do hv.

Many people go around complaining, always looking at what's wrong. They see the negative in every situation n then they wonder y they R not happy n not enjoying their lives.  

Really, it's bcos they hv an ungrateful heart, an unthankful attitude. It's not a situational issue, but a heart issue! 

If they don't get to the root cause n start changing their mindsets, their situations will not change for the better.

Some people R unhappy w their spouses..."Well, U dont  know my wife...she's this, she's that..." "Well, U dont know my husband, he's this, he's that.. I dont even enjoy his presence."

Many people R lonely today, n they wish they hv someone to dine with, to share their lives with...

Let's remember this: no matter how imperfect our partners R, our children R, our physical appearances R, someone out there has it a lot worse than we do. Someone would love to trade places w us.

E.g. We may not hv the perfect job, the nicest of employers, colleagues n a fat paycheck... But be thankful that we r not in an employment line. Imagine being laid off for a year...no money to pay bills, banks sending in legal letters, not a single dollar to buy a simple meal... Then suddenly our former employer called n offered the same job. U know how thrilled we would be to hv that old job back... We no longer care abt the nasty boss, the mean colleagues, the long hours, the lousy company system etc.

What made the difference? Our perspective changed!!

Thanksgiving is abt having a positive mindset n a grateful heart.:D Everyone has a reason to give thanks. Even a handicapped person can be thankful that he is alive n still breathing:D 

More than a million people die every single week. Think about it, if we hv a roof over our heads, we r better off than 75% of the world's population. If we hv a hundred dollar in our account, we r already considered in the top 10% of the world's wealthiest people. 

How blessed we are!! Praise the Lord. Hallelujah:D

Condemnation Killed

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:1, NASB

Many people are sick today because of guilt and condemnation.

Condemnation kills! People condemn themselves for their sins and failures, receive condemnation from others and even think that God is condemning them to a life of sickness.

The good news of the gospel is that there is ABSOLUTELY no condemnation for us who are in Christ, because Christ has already been condemned in our place at Calvary!

Beloved, freely receive God’s gift of no condemnation today by meditating on and thanking Him for it. When you reach out and receive God’s gift of no condemnation, you’ll receive your healing and the wholeness you desire, fully paid for by the blood of His Son

Hope You Could Dream Of

Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope."
Psalm 119:49
Whatever your especial need may be, you may readily find some promise in the Bible suited to it. Are you faint and feeble because your way is rough and you are weary? Here is the promise--"He giveth power to the faint." When you read such a promise, take it back to the great Promiser, and ask him to fulfil his own word. Are you seeking after Christ, and thirsting for closer communion with him? This promise shines like a star upon you--"Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled." Take that promise to the throne continually; do not plead anything else, but go to God over and over again with this--"Lord, thou hast said it, do as thou hast said." Are you distressed because of sin, and burdened with the heavy load of your iniquities? Listen to these words--"I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions, and will no more remember thy sins." You have no merit of your own to plead why he should pardon you, but plead his written engagements and he will perform them. Are you afraid lest you should not be able to hold on to the end, lest, after having thought yourself a child of God, you should prove a castaway? If that is your state, take this word of grace to the throne and plead it: "The mountains may depart, and the hills may be removed, but the covenant of my love shall not depart from thee." If you have lost the sweet sense of the Saviour's presence, and are seeking him with a sorrowful heart, remember the promises: "Return unto me, and I will return unto you;" "For a small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee." Banquet your faith upon God's own word, and whatever your fears or wants, repair to the Bank of Faith with your Father's note of hand, saying, "Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope."

Do Not Fear Bad News

…Those who are righteous…do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.

Psalm 112:6–8, NLT

Wake up every day expecting good. Keep your thoughts and mind positive, full of joy, full of hope and full of anticipation of all the good things God has in store for you, His beloved!

Spring up from your bed, stand in front of your mirror and boldly declare, “I am the disciple whom Jesus loves. I am the apple of His eye. Everything I do and touch shall be blessed! The Lord’s wisdom, favor and provision flow mightily in and through me. Amen!”

When you do this, you are accessing the Lord’s abundant provision for you, and all the stress, worries, negative emotions and anxieties will fade away.

Perhaps today, you have to make an important presentation to your biggest client, or go for the final interview for a job you really want. Or maybe you are way behind the curve in completing an important project at work. Whatever the demands on you, start the day expecting good and see His provision flowing toward you

The Power Of God

“Rabbi,” His disciples asked Him, “why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents’ sins?” “It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him.”

John 9:2–3, NLT

I love how our Lord Jesus is such a loving and practical God. When there is a problem, He goes straight to the solution!
Before Jesus stepped in to heal the man born blind, his disciples were caught up in uncovering whose sin had made the man blind. Jesus, on the other hand, was interested only in using His power to give the poor man sight!
The same way Jesus didn’t get sucked into the “blame game” is the same way He doesn’t want you to. So don’t ask what or whose sin caused your sickness. Forget about what you should or shouldn’t have done or why it happened. Be preoccupied instead with your solution—Jesus Christ, who through the cross has removed every sin in your life and who wants to work a miracle in your body

Only 1 Thing Is Needed

And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

Luke 10:41–42

You know the story—Martha was busy serving Jesus while her sister, Mary, sat at His feet and drew from Him words of life. Martha didn’t like it that Mary wasn’t helping her, so she complained about it to Jesus.

Who do you think Jesus defended? He defended Mary.

Many believers think that it’s better to give than to receive. Now, that’s true in our relationships with people. But when it comes to our relationship with the Lord, it’s better to RECEIVE from Him than to try to give to Him! Jesus describes Himself as the “bread of life”, in essence telling us that He wants us to partake of Him and receive from Him all the nourishment, strength, healing, provision and abundant life we can take!

Beloved, our Lord loves it when we take from Him. That’s why Mary pleased Jesus. So I encourage you to be a Mary today. Our loving Savior loves it when we draw from His unending reservoir of strength, wisdom, favor, peace and life! - By Pastor Prince

My Testimony

That exactly what i did when i fall from Grace...Look to Him to bring you out of all trouble...Many of us don`t believed that is possible, many of us want to have feeling or want to see miracle happen to ourselves  first before we believed God will bring us out of all trouble by just looking at Him. Jesus sacrified at the Cross, make it possible ..My friends God is well able, just seek His help you will see miracle happen stop doubting.....
