Jesus said, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life” (John 8:12). The Lord Jesus gives all of us the “light of life.”

What a Great Mother Mary is !

Dr. Luke write :  " But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart." (Luke 2:19)
Mary, the mother of Jesus kept in mind all that had happened - since the angel of the Lord appeared to her and up to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Not only that, she also might had witnessed the what happened on Pentecost and the spreading of the Gospel with the increasing Churches. She might have read other books about Jesus by others. Therefore, she must have opened up many of her treasured up stories and events) to a well educated writer Dr.Luke that revelation of Mary enabled Dr.Luke to write details account of the birth and related events in Jesus' birth, life and ministry.

GOD CREATED EVERYTHING GOOD AND IF NOT GOOD IT MUST BE DESTROYED

The opening line of the Holy Bible tells us that God is the Creator of everything :

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)

God is the Creator, who created heavens and earth and everything in heavens and on earth.

The Creator created everything with a purpose. He created everything to be good and glorify him. Therefore, after he created, he looked at what he created and said “good” every time he created.

God was pleased with what he had created as the Bible says:

“And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.” (Genesis 1:31)

God is Waiting for You

God waits you. He wants that you go to Him when you die. You don’t know when you will die. It may be sooner or later. It is up to God. Your life is in His hand. He loves you and wants that you go to Him in heaven and not to hell when you die. He, therefore, spare your life till today that you may receive eternal life by receiving His Son Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.

God loves every of us. He wants that all of us receive His blessings here on earth and eternally after death as His children.  Only His children receive His blessings abundantly. One become God’s child when he received Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour (John 1:12)

God Always Open the Door

World Authorities Have Visiting Time But God Always Open the Door

Kings, Prime Ministers, Presidents, Governors, all Political leaders, even officers have special time as ‘Visiting Time’ for the public. But God always open the door. He is always ready to hear what His children says to Him.

Human authority is limited. That’s why, human rulers and leaders are tired of and need rest.

God is All Powerful, All Knowing, Everywhere Present and All in All. He created everythings on earth and in heaven out of nothing. He can always create anything He wants and can undo anything if He wish to. He can give anything His children ask if He is please to and can always help. God never tire and need no rest.

Talking to God is called ‘Prayer’. We can approach Him and talk to Him in prayer, anytime and anywhere. He is gracious to hear our prayer. The Bible says,  “How gracious [the Lord] will be when you cry for help! As soon as He hears, He will answer you.” (Isaiah 30:19b)

Everything Will Change When Jesus is Born to You

Prophet Isaiah said  that God had humbled some as He humbled humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future, when Jesus Christ born, God he will honour all nations even those neglected by other nations. God will honour even Galilee though the Israelite neglected them as if they were untouchable nations. God will honour every individual and nations that honour Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.

Purpose of Life

Why you were born? Why is our life like this?  – many problems, physical and mental sickness, ups and down, and ultimately to die. Nothing we will carry when we die! There is no real peace of mind and no permanent success. Many have tried to find peace by acquiring wealth and power to get ultimate peace and satisfaction. Alas! They fail!

Accept the Great Plan God Has For You

You are created to be God’s child. He created you to be like Him. He knows your weakness and guilt. Every human being , even the best person you know have weakness and guilt like you and me.

God wants us to be like Him. He has a great plan for you so that you may become like Him. He  says through prophet Jeremiah thousands years ago :

 “For I know the plans I have for you,' says the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Jesus is the Only Way to Heaven

And the only way of this salvation is, ”Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved .” (Acts 16:31a)

Give Thanks

Many persons complain most of the time.  God does not want us to be complainers. He rather God wants us to be thankful always. He lets you live and give you life and many more. 

God says through Apostle Paul, “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

This is because, He loves us. He wants to be positive. Being thankful makes our life brighter. It even eases suffering and gives us perspective.

Talk With Your Friends, Family Members and God Every Day

You stay with your friend the whole day without talking. What will your friend think of you? He/she will think, you are angry with him/her. The same is with your family members. If you don’t talk with them, they will feel you don’ love and care them.

Salvation is a Free Gift From God Through Faith

Salvation Cannot be Earn. :

 The Bible tells us that no one can earn salvation and peace with God through good works.God is perfect in holiness, and His standard for those who desire to be in His presence is perfect holiness as well (Leviticus 11:45; Numbers 15:40; 1 Peter 1:16).

Even single sin is a violation of the law and an act of rebellion against the God who created everything, so we are all guilty and subject to the righteous wrath of the infinite God.

We remains in Him by reading His words and by constant prayer. This practice will give you experience the blessing of God each and everyday.

When God Forgive He Forget Our Sin

God is the Creator of universe, including you and me. He is all powerful, all-knowing and
is present everywhere. He knows every wrong we have done and thought. He knows the plan we
make and the life we live against His will.
The Bible says, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good...to give you a future and a hope" (Jeremiah 29:11).

5 Benefits of Memorizing Scripture

By Joy on Oct 30, 2014; From the series Prayer Letter

Scripture: “...Take the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God” Ephesians 6:17

In spiritual battle, you must use God’s Truth to fight the lies of the enemy (Satan). Jesus used scripture to fight Satan’s temptations in Matthew 4. Here are five ways that memorizing scripture will help prepare you for Spiritual Battle.

1. Your Desires Change

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” (Romans 12:2)

Focusing your mind on God’s Word will cause your desires to line up with God’s desires. You will start becoming more like Christ, which will produce Godly characteristics in your life such as love, peace, and purity. (Philippians 4:8)

Faith in Jesus Christ is the Only Way to be Saved

We can do nothing to be saved from the wrath of God. The only way is to be saved and relate to God is faith in Jesus Christ.

The Bible says, “For “no human being will be justified in His sight” by deeds.”(Romans 3:20a)

That, “The one who is righteous will live by faith” (Romans 1:17b);  “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast”(Ephesians 2:8-9).
