I am what I am

"But by the grace of God I am what I am" (1Co 15:10)

The apostle Paul considered himself the least of the apostles who was not worthy to be called one because he persecuted the church of God. Yet our Lord mightily uses him. Many of us feel the same thinking that we are nobody and unworthy to be used by God. But by the Grace of God, we are a new creation. Now we are in Christ... that's what we are. We must let go our old selves and let Grace takes over our new life. Then God can use us. The end of man is the beginning of Christ! Hear Him!

God is love

"And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing." (1Co 13:3)

We all are called on this journey to be witnesses of Christ (Acts 1:8), to make disciples of all the nations (Mat 28:19). Many felt that burden but it shouldn't be because His yoke is easy and His burden is light (Mat 11:30). On this journey as we walk with Him, we are becoming more like Him each day (2Co 3:18) and through His love we become His witnesses of Love to the world to make disciples. Hear Him!

The Word is God

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Mat 6:33)

This is indeed one of the most important verse in the Word of God. What then is the kingdom of God and His righteousness? The kingdom is in Him in the Word... in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1). His righteousness is within us as we are in Christ (believers). Always seek Him through His Word and hear Him by revelation!

Act in Faith

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God," (Eph 2:8)

If we are saved by Grace alone then the whole world is saved. No, faith has a role too. One needs to believe for it to work. Likewise our prayers have been answered by Grace whenever we prayed but we need to act in faith to see the manifestation. If you pray for healing then act healed. If you pray for financial blessing then act rich. Hear Him!

Store up our treasure in heaven

"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Mat 6:21)

Jesus said "... whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Mat 16:19). Be wise with our worldly wealth and sow them unto the Kingdom of God. Hear Him!

Giving by the act of Love

"Give, and it shall be given unto you..." (Luk 6:38)

Giving is the way to prosperity but by love not selfishness. If we give because we want more for ourselves (tree of knowledge of good and evil) then we give in vain. If we give because of love or compassion (tree of life) then it will return many folds. Say "Lord, I give and more shall be given back for me to give again." Hear Him!

Enter into His rest!

"For we who have believed do enter that rest..." (Heb 4:3)

What have we believed? We believed in the finished work of Jesus Christ and there is nothing left for God or us to do anymore. What is that rest? It is His rest. His promised land for us that everything is provided by Grace. We must believe and rest in His promised land and don't be like the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness forty years not able to enter the promised land (Num 32:13) because of unbelief.

God is our provider

"... and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much." (Luk 16:10)

One can not serve two masters. If we can't give money... money is still our master. No matter how little we have, we must not be unjust to God. Give and it shall be given unto you... (Luk 6:38)

We tithed because we love Him

"He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much..." (Luk 16:10)

The tithe is among the least and if we ain't faithful with it how then would much be? Because He loves us and blessed us with all that we have, and we tithe and say "Thank You Father for loving us and we love you too."

According to your faith

"... According to your faith be it unto you." (Mat 9:29)

We have the faith of Christ in us and Jesus spoke all miracles to pass. So we too speak our blessing and Jesus will bring them to pass. Do not look at our own faith but Jesus' faith because we are In Christ. "... as He is, so are we in this world." (1 Jn 4:17)

Faith comes by hearing

"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." (Rom 10:17 NIV)

If God has given us the measure of faith (Rom 12:3) then many might ask why are we still not able to operate in it? Keep on hearing the word and meditate on it day and night and He that is in us shall operate in it for us for He is the word (John 1:1). Hear Him!

Without faith it is impossible to please God

"But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." (Heb 11:6)

God has given us the measure of faith (Rom 12:3). By Grace we are saved through the measure of faith (Eph 2:8). By Grace He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing (Eph 1:3) through the measure of faith. By that measure of faith and we believe that He is Christ and He is our rewarder because we diligently seek Him. So God is please with us because we believe in Him (the measure of faith). Hear Him!

Now hope does not disappoint

"Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Rom 5:5)

Whatever you are hoping for, never never give up. It will come to pass because His word never fail. Hang on to your faith (the measure of faith) for that delights God. Keep your eyes on Him and Wait on Him!

Wait on the LORD

"Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!" (Psa 27:14)

Many a time we asked and we wait, wait and waited. I know it is hard but that we needed to move us to the next level of faith. Be patient and courage for He is seldom early but He is never late. Wait on Him!

All that I have is yours

"And he said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours." (Luk 15:31)
"... For the world is Mine, and all its fullness." (Psa 50:12)

Beloved, be bold and ask Him for all that you want but also remember all that you have is His. Including you! Hear Him!

Give I unto you

'Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.' (John 14:27)

Jesus did not just leave His peace with us, He has given Himself to us. Why worry any more? Rest in Him for He has taken care of everything. Hear Him!

We know all things

"But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you." (John 14:26)

We are not of the world (John 15:19), we have the Holy Spirit living in us and we know all things. Hear Him!

Give thanks to God

"... and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them..."(Mar 16:18)

The world worries of what they eat or drink contains poison, but we the righteousness of Christ do not. Give thanks to God and it shall be sanctified.

God will provide

Isaac asked the father "The fire and wood are here, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" Abraham answered "God will provide..." (Gen 22:7-8)

Abraham believed and it was done. Therefore we must also believe... that God has provided. Just thanks Him. Our God is truly a good God!

His righteousness, not yours

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." (Mat 5:6)

Jesus said "It is finished." (John 19:30) that He had done it all for us and no more to add to it. For those who are hunger and thirst for Him (His righteousness) will be filled. Not our righteousness, not our do and don't and not our effort on keeping the law. If man can do it, Jesus died in vain. Behold His righteousness and we'll be filled. Hear Him!

Feed my sheep

Three times Jesus asked Peter "Do you truly love me?" Peter answered "Yes Lord" then Jesus said "Feed my sheep" (John 21:15)

Only if we truly know His love for us, then we can truly love others. It isn't all about us. It is all about Him! Behold Jesus and His love will flow in us to love others. Hear Him!

Grace - the keys of the kingdom of heaven

Jesus asked "Who do you say I am?" and Peter answered "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus said "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven..." (Mat 16:15-19)

Blessed are we for the Father in heaven has revealed Christ (Grace) to us, the keys of the kingdom of heaven. For by Grace we are saved through faith... (Eph 2:8). Hear Him!

The Tree of Life

"He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it." (Mat 10:39)

The more Christ conscious (the tree of life) we are, the less self conscious (the tree of knowledge of good and evil) we become. Give up your life for Him and you'll find your true life, a life of great abundance.

This is how we know what love is

"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers." (1 Jn 3:16)

God is love (1Jn 4:8) and only if we know how much He loves us, it is hard for us to love others. Set our eyes on Jesus and His love will flow through us to love others. The more Christ conscious we are, the less self conscious we become. Hear Him!

For God so loved the world

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son..." (John 3:16)

He gave His life for us, are we willing to give ours? We won't be able to give up our life for Him until we know His love for us (1Jn 3:16). Let us behold Jesus and His love and He will transform us to give our life for Him. Hear Him!

He who have ears, let him hear

Jesus said "He who have ears, let him hear" (Mat 11:15)

Jesus loves us and wants to lead us on this journey everyday. Unless we are willing to follow what we hear, we will not hear Him. Be willing and you will hear Him!

Our salvation is sealed

"... after that ye believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise," (Eph 1:13).

The Holy Spirit is our guarantee of our salvation. No one can ever take it away from us. Hear Him!

The church that the gates of hell shall not prevail against

"... and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Mat 16:18).

Peter being the only one who knew and spoke... He is the Christ, the Son of the living God. So are we who embraced Grace. We are His church that the gates of hell shall not prevail against. Behold Jesus and we shall be so full of Him that the devil can't even come near. Hear Him!
