THE BIGGEST LOSER FROM GOD'S PERSPECTIVE

When we lose everything for the cause of JESUS CHRIST we always WIN . Why ?Basically because we are no longer held in captivity by materialistic gain , position or status, performance success, relationship manipulation and many more other potential idols that will hinder us in our journey of faith.
Today get in shape with the Lord Jesus and you will always be a WINNER in the realm of life both now and throughout all ETERNITY.
Being weighed down with the baggage of this world becomes very heavy and really slows us down in the rhythms of spiritual grace and discipleship , don't be deceived by the lie that a few carnal kilos will not harm your spiritual vitality or performance in the race of life .......actually they will .
So today as you contemplate shedding those unwanted layers of carnal kilos ...be sure you understand what really is at risk here and get exercising with the power , presence and purpose of God's Holy Spirit. Ask Jesus who is the Saviour who will come and give you all that you need to be fast , fit and pulsating with the very life blood of God running through your senses, to make His presence clear and strong .
READ 1 Timothy 4:8 ''FOR PHYSICAL TRAINING IS OF SOME VALUE, BUT GODLINESS HAS VALUE FOR ALL THINGS, HOLDING PROMISE FOR BOTH THE PRESENT LIFE AND THE LIFE TO COME."
Also 2 Timothy 2:5 "SIMILARLY, IF ANYONE COMPETES AS AN ATHLETE, HE DOES NOT RECEIVE THE VICTOR'S CROWN UNLESS HE COMPETES ACCORDING TO GOD'S RULES."
Try these boosters : Jesus' living power water.
High fibre living bread( otherwise known as Jesus),
Fresh revelation given to you from The Holy Spirit that will blow through your life,
God's manna from His Word that will nurture your being in every way...creating energy , sustaining strength and guidance for your spiritual health.

I think you get the idea!
Praying for you today .

TRUE REPENTANCE REAPS GREAT REWARDS

Owning one's own sin is not popular , but absolutely necessary to spiritual vitality and growth in the Lord.
Today if you need a spiritual and personal cleansing follow these guides from the Word of God.
1.Own your own sin, sins by OMMISSION or COMMISSION grieve the Spirit of God.
2. Grieving the Holy Spirit will allow you to be more vulnerable and more likely to sin even more .EPHESIANS4: 30-32.
3. Unforgiveness will be as a cancerous growth in your spiritual life......confess it and FORGIVE ALL WHO HAVE OFFENDED YOU.
4. If you want to grow up in God you have to realise that there are behaviours that God cannot tolerate and until we understand and act upon these behaviours we will remain spiritual babies.
5. Understand that Jesus longs for you and yearns to not be in any way separated from your life ,He loves you with an everlasting love that continually calls you to Himself.
6.Psalm 51 is a good place to start praying repentance if you are not sure how to begin.
7. Be sincere as you pray and don't expect a mere perfunctory prayerful performance will be sufficent, rather God requires a broken & contrite heart.
8. Start believing that God will not reveal to you any 'FRESH REVELATION' until you have obeyed that which He has already shown you.
9. Please start today ...that is all you have for sure .
10.Read two or three times COLOSSIANS 3:5-17.

Praying for you all today .

LABOURERS ARE FEW ............PRAY!

Jesus told us in Luke 10 :2"...THE HARVEST IS PLENTIFUL, BUT THE WORKERS ARE FEW.ASK THE LORD OF THE HARVEST,THEREFORE,TO SEND OUT WORKERS INTO HIS HARVEST FIELD."

Well it is absolutely true that the harvest is plentiful and sadly it is also truth that from my observation there are few who are willing to pay the price of Biblical Discipleship , which is required in this journey Jesus calls us into . I guess that comment for some of my readers will seem harsh , actually I just sense that sometime , somewhere it needs to be stated, not to rebuke ,rather to exhort , encourage and remind us all of what Jesus is really requiring of those of us who call ourselves Christians.
Just imagine what could be accomplished if there was a resounding ''YES'' to the Lord Jesus' call upon our lives...................Selah!
You see there is a call to 'COME ,CHANGE THE WORLD....GIVE UP YOUR SMALL AMBITIONS AND COME."
However, the question comes directly to all of us from Jesus own words "WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM..."(MARK 8:27)...and alot depends on your answer , for what you believe will influence how you will respond to this dynamic call from JESUS. For Jesus cannot be Lord & Saviour of your life if we profess LORDSHIP and live DUPLICITY ...(our goals , plans life choices are our preferred priorities).
It is vital that we all really understand Jesus does not tolerate rivals when it comes to His claims upon our lives....He requires , longs for , yearns for loving ,resolute , faithful OBEDIENCE to His will for our lives . To consider otherwise is simply to believe a lie .
Hebrews 4:7".........''TODAY ,IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS."
For indeed the harvest is waiting to be reaped by you .......don't sideline yourself by responding with a sacrifice instead of uncompromising obedience . You will miss out , others will miss out and sadly most of all the Kingdom of God will be left wanting.
Praying for you today and please if you are being all that Jesus calls you to be then PRAY with me .

We all need to pray to make a difference for JESUS ...........TODAY!
