Praise the Lord everyone!!! 😀
Happy Friday. 😀
Beloved, to many people today, think this is a definitive oxymoron statement: in order for Christians to find life, we’re instructed to lose it for His sake. Sounds confusing to you? Well if it does, it’s because in today’s society the philosophy promotes principles that injects a mentality attitude that’s totally opposite, different and contradicting to this command. Today’s culture teaches principles about how to be selfish instead of to sacrifice. People in today’s society are told it’s not about what they can give but what they’re entitled to receive. That life isn’t about submitting to God’s authority but rather enjoying their legal rights and benefits as a Christian. Beloved, if we all continue to think this way, soon there’ll be no more Christians willing to serve others. If we really want to find true life, we must start by denying ourselves and take up the cross. In Matthew 19:21 (NLT), Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” So Beloved, we have to let go of pride (arrogance – ignorance) and God may even require us to release all possessions to Him. We need to realize that our life doesn’t belong to us but to God and He bought us at a price. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NLT) says: *19 Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, *20 for God bought you with a high price. So, you must honor God with your body.
Beloved, if we live, we should live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for Him
As we go into this weekend let us keep Romans 14:8 (NLT) on our hearts:
If we live, it’s to honor the Lord. And if we die, it’s to honor the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
I love you all!!! And have a blessed Weekend Everyone. 😀
Praise the Lord Beloved!!! Happy Friday to you all. 😀 We’re on the doorsteps of another weekend – Thank You Lord.
