Jesus Is The Life

Jesus came to give us life, and that we may live it to the full (John 10:10). It was God's design that we have life; to live and be in fellowship with Him. We are His sons. We were created in His likeness and we are to enjoy also God's kind of life.

God's kind of life is a lifestyle that is rich in every way! Rich in love, rich in resources, rich in peace, rich in health, rich in all the good things! God wanted us to have a life in paradise! But the devil deceived us and we exchanged the truth of God for the lie of the Devil. And the wrath of God came upon all men and Man was cursed ever since Adam.

But God would not let Man be destroyed and so He sent His own Son to bear the judgment that Man deserved. Through His death on the cross, the wrath of God was satisfied. And if we believe in Him, we are restored to Life (Joh 3:36). The curse was lifted and we are now blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ (Eph 1:3). We are now new creations in Christ (2Co 5:17). The first Adam was created a living soul, but the second Adam (which is Christ) is a life giving spirit (1Co 15:45). God has begotten us again (1Pe 1:3) after Christ. He has made us sharers of the Divine Nature (2Pe 1:4).  Which means that we share in God's nature! As Pastor Chris puts it, we are no longer man-kind, we are now sharers of the God-kind! We are now life giving spirits so that through His name, through faith in His name, we can cast out death from amongst us. We can cast out illness from among us, we can cast out poverty from among us. We can speak life unto anything as we please.

God did not create us so that we can suffer, God did not create us so that we can die of an illness, God did not create us so that we can live in poverty, God did not create us so that we can steal from each other..  God has a much better plan for us than all of those things.

God created us to have life and live it to the full. And that life is found only in Jesus Christ. As the Word himself declares, I am the way, the truth and the LIFE (Joh 14:6).

Between God and the Politician

Often we hear during election time of Politicians platform of government and promised infrastructure projects should they be elected in office. But all those talk and speeches just go back to the filing cabinets once elections are through and kept hid until the next elections. So between God and the Politician is a great chasm, a great divide between truth and lies because Man's words are often empty, but the Word of God is never empty. Not because Man wants to lie but because he is not capable of keeping his every word. God on the other hand is able. God said: But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings, and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts (Mal 4:2-3). Those words are not empty. Surely they come to pass to them which receives them. And God has declared it that ...

Treasure Nuggets

(Gen 2:17)  but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." This goes to show that God never intended man to die. Man was meant for eternity with God. It was when Adam ate of that fruit that death entered in and reigned. (Rom 5:20)  Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, Where to find grace? It is in the very area of your shortcoming. Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more! Paul rejoices in his weaknesses for God says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness (2Co 12:9). "   Paul declares, "For when I am weak, then I am strong!" Receive the grace of God where you have fallen, for it is there that grace abounds all the more! (Joh 15:3)  Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. The word of God is powerful. Let it dwell in you richly. It is through th...

Ask In Faith

Jas 1:5-8 (5) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (6) But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. (7) For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. (8) A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. God is a giver. That is His nature. God is willing to give more than we are wanting to have. Verse 5 in the NIV reads: "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." God does not find fault. He will not examine whether there is something wrong with you. He will not count it against you even if you blew it. He just wants to give. Only that we ask in faith. Not doubting. Because if we ask full of faith, the excercise of that wisdom will also be full of faith. The excercise of that wisdo...
