Temporary

Scriptural Readings: Matthew 13:49; 24:3,14; Genesis 3:3; Isaiah 65:17; 66:22; II Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1.

Matthew 13:49

King James Version

V.49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

New Living Translation

V.49 That is the way it will be at the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked people from the righteous,

King James Version

Matthew 24:3

V.3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? And what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

New Living Translation

V.3 Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives. His disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and the end of the world?

King James Version

V.14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

New Living Translation

V.14 And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world so that all nations[c] will hear it; and then the end will come.

Is everything temporary? If so, have we ever given serious thought to what happens when the impermanent is over? How sure are we not having the same dilemma again? What lies ahead? Are we going to love it? But what if it is not, and what we are right now is what we are? Then we are going to wish for the better, Right?

God has a plan. We live in a world that will end, and humanity has to go through with it. Everything must come to pass. If there are going to be rumors of war, there will be rumors of war. If there will be a war, then there will be a war. It will not change. It is going to be final.

What is new?

When we accept what Jesus did on the cross, it precedes salvation. There is no other way of salvation but to receive the cross for redemption, the gospel of Jesus Christ! What God wants us to understand is that salvation is at hand. While we worry a lot, we never give a critical thought to what salvation is all about.

Salvation is more than our name written in the Lamb’s book of life. Sometimes we think that salvation is just salvation. Salvation is the start of a new spiritual life. Being saved, God linked to us things that we needed to live a different life. An appealing life that will define what Christianity is all about. A new journey entirely different from what we had before. A new life with God-given power, wisdom, sense, and filled with purpose living until the end.

King James Version

Genesis3:3

V.3 But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said,1 Ye shall not eat4 of it, neither shall ye touch4 it, lest ye die.4

New Living Translation

V.3 “It’s only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch it; if you do, you will die.’”

The tree

In the bible, the tree helps us to realize and appreciate a lot of things. If Adam and Eve chose the tree of life instead of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, then it’s a different scenario today. What is miserable is that we continue to fight to preserve the consciousness of what is good, but we comfortably submit to what evil provides. This tree continues to grow in our hearts. If this is not true then, we will not have conflicts with each other. With the manner we live our lives, we always choose hatred rather than forgiveness. Instead of seeking the kingdom of God, some people today attempt to disprove God’s existence. We cannot seek the kingdom of God if hatred is a way of living. It will be impossible for our Father to add all the things He promised us. Simply impossible. Living in a world full of deception, hostilities, and many other things that pull us down, we have to be empowered by God’s wisdom.

King James Version

Luke 6:44

V.44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

New Living Translation

Luke 6:44

V.44 A tree is identified by its fruit. Figs are never gathered from thornbushes, and grapes are not picked from bramble bushes.

The fruit

What is in the plan is when Jesus saved us, the Father guaranteed us the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit transformed us from our old selves, making us a new creation in Christ. How are we going to know this? By the fruit. How are we going to identify a tree? Of course, by its fruits! In the same method, we bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit as we go through sanctification because the Holy Spirit lives in us. And as we permanently listen for His instructions, the fruit becomes true in us. These are distinguishing hallmarks sealed to us Christians, making us disciples of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 65:17

King James Version

V.17 For, behold, I create6 new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered,11 nor come4 into mind.

New Living Translation

V.17 “Look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth, and no one will even think about the old ones anymore.

Isaiah 66:22

King James Version

V.22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make,6 shall remain6 before me, saith7 the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.4

New Living Translation

V.22 “As surely as my new heavens and earth will remain,

so will you always be my people,

with a name that will never disappear,”

says the Lord.

II Peter 3:13

King James Version

V.13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

New Living Translation

V.13 But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God’s righteousness.

Revelation 21:1

King James Version

V.1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

New Living Translation

V.1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone.

Yes, all of us live in a temporary world. As Christians, we are looking forward to what is everlasting, including our spiritual lives. Let us not go blind by the ongoing gloomy circumstances happening today that presently lie, convincing us to believe in desperation. For some of us, living in the darkest moment in our lives imprisoned in hopelessness, anguishing the unendurable agony going through the day, there is hope. We indeed undergo these things, but we are heading to a place where happiness and joy are exceptional in our expectations, which no words can ever describe. Alleluia!

A Divine Future


Scriptural Readings: Philippians 3:12, I Corinthians 15:58, Galatians 1:15, Romans 8:28


Philippians 3:12


King James Version

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.


New Living translation

I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me.


Motivations are a necessity in our lives to move us forward. Every one of us looks forward to achieving something we planned. It is the same in our spiritual lives. The moment we accepted Jesus Christ as our Saviour and Lord, we are now His follower. We have to press on. God has given us a divine future, and we have to make sure that we will fix our spiritual eyes on it. Our spiritual lives are far more crucial than our mortal lives. In the spiritual realm, God never takes time out to motivate us. We have to put in our minds the reality of the ultimate reason why we have to pursue a holy life, which is our divine life.



I Corinthians 15:58


King James Version

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.


New Living translation

So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.


As we survive our daily lives, God continues to refine and redesign us for the best. It will be a thrill, getting to know more about our Lord and Savior Jesus. Pressing on will give us more victory in Jesus Christ. He is now holding us, but WE HAVE TO HOLD ON TO HIM! His love and His presence will no doubt motivate us to continue to do His will. We have to press on. Our spiritual lives are far more essential than what our mortal lives can offer. The moment that we work together with our Lord, it can never be useless. It is of utmost importance that we must be having our un-divided time for His instructions through prayers and meditations. These are the defining moments where we see our faith and spiritual lives grow.

Galatians 1:15


King James Version

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called [me] by his grace,


New Living translation

But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace. Then it pleased him


There might be ups and downs, but God’s work never stops. We are going to have thrilling moments with our God. The tiniest things that we work on for His glorification are essential parts of a much bigger picture. We are a part of something huge that we might not see in the meantime but, for sure, we are completing what God has for us in the future. Once God gives life starting from the mother’s womb, it will be a part of God’s plan. All the things that God instructs us to do now are a part of the future. The sad part is that most of us fail to see our significance to our God. We are good at measuring things happening to us. We are always at our best in judging others, and this is why we have shortcomings. God loves each one of us. One day, God will reveal to us things that we never knew coming, and the reason is it has pleased Him that we have to do His will. His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We are a part of His will.

Romans 8:28


King James Version

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.


New Living translation

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.


All Christians are looking forward to God’s instructions for us. There is a divine purpose for us to accomplish. Make no mistake about it. Fulfilling God’s will is the ultimate meaning of Christianity. We know that sooner or later, God will be calling us to do our part, and the moment we engage in the task God requires us to do, we will experience God’s power. All our endeavors will be taken care of by God Himself. There will be failures, difficulties, and more on our part, this is true, but then again, all things will work together who loves God. The only thing that will stop us from accomplishing our divine purpose is ourselves deciding not to do it. There is no one nor anything to blame but us. We complain and ask God why are we living miserably? Should we always ask ourselves why? The answer lies in us. God never fails to give us the best, and most of the time, we turn it down.

God did not spare Jesus, His only Son. His purpose is to save us, a divine purpose to bring us back to Him. If we are not to accept Him, eternal damnation in the future is our journey. There are only 2. Salvation and damnation. We have to ask ourselves. What is our future? A divine or not.

Go, Went, Gone, I’ll be back.

Scriptural Readings: Isaiah 7:14, John 14:3-4, Matthew 24:35

The word go is a sentence. It expresses a complete idea and a commandment. To be more productive in our work, we should not be disturbed, but commandments are inevitable. For some of us, though, commandments are burdening. There can be no way that we can work without moving to find help. It all boils down to how we feel about these commandments.

Isaiah 7:14

King James Version

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

New Living Translation

All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’).

When there is a fire, we have to extinguish it. When we are hungry, we go and look for something to eat to nourish our bodies. We do not need any commandment to do these things. In this world we live in, we do not like something or someone forcing us to do. We have our right to impose. For most of us, we live and die for our rights. And to have rights, we have to make laws, and having more laws means we force ourselves to follow. Are these rights enough? Are the present laws helping us?

Think of a computer. When something is wrong, we need a button to clean everything. There is a Delete button, and it is always there to overhaul everything. Just like the Delete button, Jesus is always there for us. The Son of God became flesh and humbled Himself, dying on the cross. He went here on earth to love, heal, and forgive, as we were all taught. From the start, Jesus committed to be the propitiation for our sin the moment the first sin is committed. He never thought of being equal to our Father in heaven. He submitted without any commandment. He went to earth to fulfill a promise. All of these are a part of the future. 

John 14:3-4

King James Version

V.3  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.

V.4  And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

New Living Translation

V.3 When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.

V.4 And you know the way to where I am going.”

Now that our Lord has gone back to heaven, what is next? The future. Yes, the future. What is for us in the future? We are more concerned with the present and having difficulties moving out from our past for many of us. Isn’t that we sweat our brow for the future? Then why are we more occupied with our worries about the present and the past holding us back from the future? This robs us of all the promises God has already given to us. Jesus Christ worked out our future. 

This divine future, for many of us, may have been taken for granted. Our attitude is not spiritual but more earthly. We are scared and pushed back with our fear. We must not be in this place of despair. The minute we wake up, we seldom give more spiritual insights into the future. We spend time forgetting about the past that cannot be changed and looking towards a grueling and burdened day. This is a reality happening daily.

For Christians, we indeed have to go through with the past and present, but for some of us, we have forgotten the true meaning of why we have to look forward to our divine future, our eternal life with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 

Matthew 24:35

King James Version

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

New Living Translation

Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.

The Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent God is true to His promises. We can feel His presence and power. It is thrilling having our faith and must not be confused with our feelings. We have to listen and believe what our eyes are telling us. Our faith confirms so much evil around us. We need the Son of God.

He will be coming back, and it is imminent. Our salvation is just around the corner. The signs are crystal clear. Misunderstanding is a foundation and a pillar of our efforts to have peace. Our so-called intelligence is no match against a continuing pandemic, putting to a halt to almost everything we have accomplished and planning. Good times do not last long. Having uncertainties is now a way of living. We need our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Period! Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Rights…Right…

Scriptural Readings: I Corinthians 1:25, 30; Romans 8:15; Mark 10:27



As the new year ushers in, we also face new challenges. Some people are still having the same struggles and continually looking for new ways to get rid of their difficulties. A lot of us are still having a list of New Year’s resolutions in which some can be accomplished easily, but unfortunately for others, more things are added. Decisions will also rush in and must be taken seriously.

We always have the feeling that we might be doing the wrong things. We have second thoughts, but doing it anyway disregarding the possible consequences. The reasoning we have is the importance of practicing and emphasizing our rights. However, we have to put into our minds that rights are attached to decision making. We do not stop and just depend on our rights. We must be sure if it will work for us or not. It is a decision, a volition God placed in us.

King James Version

I Corinthians 1:25

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

New Living Translation

I Corinthians 1:25

This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God’s weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength.

Rights are born because we make laws. In a sophisticated and complicated way of living, we look forward to making laws and rules to have a more simple and easy way of living. We try to perfect ourselves by making laws. We plan and make our foundations on laws and rights. We make sure of having more laws to fit more of our rights, forgetting the most important thing, morality. As the result, we find living more difficult and impossible. We go back to square one because man-made laws are imperfect.

God made the ten commandments for reflection. No one can accomplish fully the ten commandments. We have to reflect on it. God has given us a conscience where our morality exists. It is in our conscience that morality is contained, telling us that we are disobeying God. If our time is just occupied only by earning money, and sometimes we momentarily set aside our faith in God, who by the way, has given us the time to earn, then we are disobeying the first commandment. It seems money is far more important that we give more time to it, rather than studying the bible and having prayers.

King James Version

v.30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

New Living Translation

v.30 God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin.

The only right that we must know and practice is the right to be God’s child. This is the only thing that we have to put in our minds that we are the children of God. When Jesus uttered the words ” It is finished “, this is where we draw the line and say we are God’s children, and we do not belong to what the bible says “you belong to your father the devil”.

The blood of Jesus Christ separated us from being sinners to forgiven sinners. Sending Jesus to be our propitiation is not a law imposed by our Heavenly Father. God the Son became a man and saved us from eternal damnation giving us the right to all the things that our Father will bless us with. What Jesus did on Calvary united us with our Father once again. He freed us from sin, and take note not the sins. It means that we do not have to struggle anymore. He made us pure and holy. We are now co-heir with Him. He made us right with God our Father.

King James Version

Romans 8:15

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

New Living Translation

Romans 8:15

So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”

Crying, Abba father

We Christians need to know the exact status of our relationship with our Father in Heaven. We have the right to call Him Abba Father. Jesus said that when we pray, we must always think about our Father in heaven. We pray and say “Our Father in Heaven…” This is our right, the right that did not come from an imperfect human law. A divine right that can never be wrong. Jesus reconciling us to the Father is the ultimate thing for us believers in Christ. We know by faith and trust that our Father is listening to us, and through His Son Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, everything is possible.

Mark 10:27

Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.”

” ….and the word of the Lord came…and that word became flesh”.

Scriptural Readings: Galatians 3:16-29; John 1:1-4; John 3:16

“And the word of the Lord”…. All of us must put the weight on what this phrase means. During the time of the old testament, God conveyed the messages to His people through appointed persons. He had to use other people to reach His message for us. And these persons will start telling the messages with the sentence “and the word of the Lord came to me”.

Our Father always has a message for us. From the very beginning when our first parents were created, humanity was enjoying His company. Words, yes, those same words that came out from His mouth that created the heavens and the earth were enjoyed by our first parents by having a conversation with Almighty God. As we all know, this relationship became difficult for us because of the mistake of choosing what they think was best for them, and as the result, God decided that He will separate us from Him making it impossible to reach Him although he never cut His communication with us.

King James Version

Galatians 3:16-29

v.16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

v.17 And this I say, [that] the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

v.18 For if the inheritance [be] of the law, [it is] no more of promise: but God gave [it] to Abraham by promise.

v.19 Wherefore then [serveth] the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; [and it was] ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

v.20 Now a mediator is not [a mediator] of one, but God is one.

v.21 [Is] the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

v.22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

v.23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

v.24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

v.25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

v.26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

V.27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

v.28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

v.29 And if ye [be] Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.


New Living translation

v.16 God gave the promises to Abraham and his child. And notice that the Scripture doesn’t say “to his children,” as if it meant many descendants. Rather, it says “to his child”—and that, of course, means Christ.

v.17 This is what I am trying to say: The agreement God made with Abraham could not be canceled 430 years later when God gave the law to Moses. God would be breaking his promise.

v.18 For if the inheritance could be received by keeping the law, then it would not be the result of accepting God’s promise. But God graciously gave it to Abraham as a promise.

v.19 Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised. God gave his law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people.

v.20 Now a mediator is helpful if more than one party must reach an agreement. But God, who is one, did not use a mediator when he gave his promise to Abraham.

v.21 Is there a conflict, then, between God’s law and God’s promises? Absolutely not! If the law could give us new life, we could be made right with God by obeying it.

v.22 But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ.

v.23 Before the way of faith in Christ was available to us, we were placed under guard by the law. We were kept in protective custody, so to speak, until the way of faith was revealed.

v.24 Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith.

V.25 And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian.

v.26 For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

v.27 And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes.

v.28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.

v.29 And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.

It’s all about the promise that our God will never break. A message that He made sure will reach us. The assurance of our salvation through God Himself and restoring the broken relationship. We cannot pick up the broken pieces and put them all together. We can’t fix our relationship with God. It is the same when one day our microwave oven stops working. We try to fix it by ourselves, and most of the time we failed. Sometimes we can fix it, but we cannot have the guarantee that it would perform better than it was before. The best thing to do is to return it to the manufacturer and let them fix it. We are the creation and He is the Creator, and only God can fix, put things together, and have it in perfect order again. This is the truth!

King James Version

John 1:1-4

v.1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

v.2 The same was in the beginning with God.

v.3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

v.4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

New Living translation

v.1 In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God and the Word was God.

v.2 He existed in the beginning with God.

v.3 God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.

v.4 The Word gave life to everything that was created and his life brought light to everyone.


The message, who is the Word, the Lord Jesus Christ, has been always with us. The message, who is Jesus Himself was there from the beginning. Every time that these appointed people or the prophets receive messages or words from God, it is all about the restoration that will connect us to God once again. And it is all about the Lord Jesus Christ. We are living in darkness. The Lord Jesus gave us a new life and brought light.

King James Version

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

New Living translation

“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

And now we know that those words from our God came to us, and this time, not words of instructions appointed to a man, but just one Word, and that Word became flesh. From the throne of grace, God became man, and through His death and resurrection, He reconciled His relationship with us once again. Christmas is a promise from our God in heaven, restoring our broken relationship with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The greatest gift that we can give cannot be bought. It is free. It is God’s grace. God gave His son freely to us, and salvation cannot be bought either earned. It is only through our Lord Jesus Christ that we can truly have peace in this troubled world. The peace that resides in our whole spirit, soul, and body can be shared by declaring the Gospel, the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ. AMEN!

Sow that we can reap

Scriptural Readings: Genesis 3:19, Matthew 9:35-38, Romans 10:14-15, Titus 1:15-16, Matthew 28:16-20, Romans 1:16


King James Bible


Genesis 3:19

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou [art], and unto dust shalt thou return.



New Living Translation

By the sweat of your brow will you have to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made.


Difficulties in life are the things most of us are facing today. We have to start from the beginning to survive before reaching the top again. It seems that it takes a lot of everything to have one thing going. The current situation points us more about difficulties rather than good times.

To fill an empty stomach is one major concern today worldwide. We have to work to earn. The Father commands us to sow that we can reap. For some, it may seem that this is a kind of punishment, but the truth is the Father is simply telling us to trust Him. Although our first parents were thrown out from paradise, they were not neglected. They were given instructions to survive and that is to sow to reap. If God did not care at all, He would not have instructed us to work, He could have simply let us die in hunger and go straight to hell. To survive on this planet, we have to sow(work) and reap(earn) to survive.


King James Version

Matthew 9:35-38

v.35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

v.36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

v.37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly [is] plenteous, but the labourers [are] few;

v.38 Pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.


New Living Translation

Matthew 9


v.35 Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness.

v.36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

v.37 He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few.

v.38 So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his field.”


To sow and to reap in the spiritual realm is all about continuation and completion of what the Lord Jesus Christ started. To sow and reap in the physical realm is simply surviving to live. It should be every Christian’s concern to bridge the gap between survival and completion and to know not just to live here on earth, but to declare the gospel of the kingdom unto the ends of the world. We do not live just simply to survive. We were given a commandment to spread the good news. We need to do this because He has a plan. We need to survive and complete the mission because there is something at the end of this for us, and this is eternal life with our God!


King James Version

Romans 10:14-15

v.14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

v.15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

New Living Translation

v.14 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how they can believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?

V.15 And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say,” How beautiful are the feet of the messengers who bring the Good News!”

It is a must that each of us should contribute to the spreading of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. There should be no reason why we should not do it. The harvest is great. There are a lot of people out there who have not heard the good news, and we are now living the end times. The Gospel of good news should be declared unto the ends of this world.

King James Version

Titus 1:15-16

v.15 Unto the pure all things [are] pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

v.16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.


New Living Translation

v.15 Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted.

v.16 Such people claim they know God, but they deny him by the way they live. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good.


….they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.


How do we see humanity today? With all the things that are happening today, confusion and helplessness are obvious and visible. People argue because of confusion resulting in helplessness. We are heading in the wrong direction. No one has a clear cut of what should be done to achieve a better result. A lot of us, we have gone astray and lost. This is the truth, a fact we cannot deny.

The reason we are confused, helpless, and experiencing suffering from all these uncertainties is that we are corrupt and unbelieving, Our minds and consciences are corrupted. Humans claim that they know God, but the truth is that we do not know an iota about Him, and we cannot deny the fact that it can be seen, by the way we live our lives. How can we carry on spreading the good news if we are corrupt, unbelieving, and doubting?

We have to be born again(John 3:3). This is the start of our wonderful relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He did not ask us to join anything or to require us to do something to know Him and forgive our sins. The only thing we have to admit is that we are sinners, and we cannot save ourselves, and finally, He will forgive us! Salvation!

King James Version

Matthew 28:16-20

v.16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

v.17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

v.18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

v.19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

v.20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.

New Living Translation

v.16 Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.

v.17 When they saw him, they worshiped him- but some of them doubted!

v.18 Jesus came and told his disciples,” I have been given all the authority in heaven and on earth.

v.19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

v.20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”


King James Version

Romans 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

New Living Translation

For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile.

Salvation is in the Good news of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! It has to be declared! We should never be ashamed of it! This is the power of God. Salvation to everyone. We have to sow the seed of salvation and we will see the power of God reaping the souls before our own eyes.

That is why the Scriptures say,” How beautiful are the feet of the messengers who bring the Good News!”




Dear Brothers and sisters in Christ,

As Christians, we are commissioned to spread the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Many of us are now in the most trying time of our lives. Almost everyone is in dire need of almost everything. A lot of people on this planet are in distress. Even having almost the perfect technology, we still end up trying almost everything to cope up with every situation we are in today except for very few who are trying to share the gospel of peace and hope of Jesus Christ.

It is of utmost importance that we should share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Help me do it. Share this site with your friends. This will not cost you anything but on the other hand, you have done your part as a Christian to respond to the great commission that the Lord Jesus Christ commanded us.

Let the blessings of our God the Father, His son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit be upon us in this trying time.


In Christ,
LDA





What we see should be what we should have seen.

Scriptural Readings: John 7:6, Matthew 6:33, James 4:2-4, Jeremiah 29:11, Proverbs 16:1-4, Psalms 1:1-4


We tend to see life as just what we see it today and then comes next is tomorrow, next week, next month and so on. We can’t change this. We have to survive. The opportunities given to us should never be missed as we go through and tend to a 24 gruelling hour of punishment just to survive(Genesis 3:19). We have to make sure that we have to be on the safest side. A wonderful future. This is what we see.

However, our time is always compromised resulting to large scale of time mismanagement and imbalance creating stress, confusion and many more.

We need Jesus Christ. The difference between surviving life without Jesus as to having Him and His revelations for us is that we can see clearly the truth in our future. The opportunity that He has given us as we follow Him assures not only a 24 hour satisfaction and also the things that He has for us to accomplish therefore seeing what we are in the future.

John 7:6

Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.

New International Version

Therefore Jesus told them, “My time is not yet here; for you anytime will do.

but your time is alway read; for you anytime will do.

Aside from the 24 hour that we deal in our lives, Jesus has given us the opportunity always to deal with our spiritual lives too. Even if we do not realize it we should be having a time for Him. The thing is we are selfish with our time if it comes to our spirituality. Right? We always have the time however that big question is what is on top of the list. Money? Power? Politics? I guess a lot of us would be having a long line of list. Right? The next question is if Jesus is really the first on our list, are we following His instructions? God’s will? We tend to pray in a quick manner thanking Him of the grace on our tables and because we are very hungry, it is a praise of the lips not with spiritual essence or value. Only we can answer this deep within ourselves.

Matthew 6:33

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

If our priority is looking for the kingdom of money, power, politics and the list goes on, we need the Holy Spirit to shake us to the very core of our spirituality to realize that we should be after and looking for only one kingdom and there is only one kingdom and that kingdom is the kingdom of God. Another thing for sure is that breaking and bringing down this kingdoms we built is impossible. We need Jesus and the power of the Holy spirit to crush it down.

James 4:2-4

v.2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

v.3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts.

v.4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

At this point of time, as Christians we should have seen things that the Lord has seen and told us. One thing that He did was first to warn us about the future, things that we will desire and die for and on the other hand He also promised us a lot of fantastic things in the future.

He also promised us a lot of things in the future. Plans…

Plans…

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord,” plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Proverbs 16:1-4

v.1 To humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue.

v.2 All a person’s ways seem pure to them but, motives are weighed by the LORD.

v.3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and He will establish your plan.

v.4 The LORD works out everything to its proper end- even the wicked for a day of disaster.

There are two things that might be happening to us. It is either we are short sighted or we are totally blind to what Jesus has shown us. We look for another kingdom. A kingdom that might be an enmity with God. A kingdom which is not God’s kingdom. God has a plan for us. The moment we trusted Jesus the plan in us will start to work. We are blinded on God’s plan because we built and chose a kingdom of wealth, power and many more. When we started putting up walls on our false kingdom, God’s kingdom would become invisible unless the Holy Spirit destroys these kingdoms showing what is left, the right kingdom the true kingdom, God’s kingdom. God will add all the things that we needed to build His kingdom. This is His plan that as soon as we start to build we see clearly where we are heading to. This is the very reason why we need our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Psalms 1:1-4

v.1 Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

v.2 But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

v.3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither;and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

v.4 The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

It is not too late to start. What we see right now should be what we should have seen, a plan by God in us through His Son Jesus Christ. The longer the the time that we spend in prayer and studying His words the more our Lord Jesus will reveal to us what God’s plan for each of us. Yes, in a daily manner. We will find out for ourselves that God is working in us. We should start right with our priorities and this means that Jesus should be on the top of the list. Our personal relationship with Him should be our priority. This relationship with Him is all and the only thing that should matter for us. If this continues… And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither;and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Force our way

Scriptural Readings: Exodus 34:5

And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.

God does not change

This is one thing that we have to store in our hearts and minds. From the beginning God did not leave us. It is always our fault that we loose and eventually lose our faith in Him intentionally or unintentionally. Our sense of direction easily points us out to uncertain terms as soon as we face our problems. God descended to his people showing His way for them how He would be a God a father to them. Is this still true today that God does not change and visits us?

God proved and showed the way.

What we miss is the way not the purpose. We get lost. If our purpose will not come from God’s will there’ll be no way to find out the right way. When Abraham was asked by God to offer his son, he was willing to do it. He was right with the purpose and there was no doubt about it but when he was about to do it, God stopped him. It’s not the way. God proved that He is with Him.

How did God prove He is still with us now?

From heaven, He came down, turned Himself into a human and dwell among us. HE proved and showed us that He never changed. We are the ones who constantly change. The love that God has for us will not and never change. Jesus Christ is the same today, yesterday and forever. He said I am the way the truth and the life. There is no other way to God but THROUGH God HIMSELF in human form, Jesus Christ.

How great is God’s love for us? When Abraham was about drop the axe, God stopped him but when His Son Jesus came, this time, He let go.

What God is trying to tell us is that He came down to meet us. He sent down His own Son, God the Son to continue what was originally planned. He wants us to be His children but we refuse.

We have to force ourselves to come into the throne of grace. We have now the access. We have been asking ourselves a lot of questions and spent time looking for answers. This is being lost. God has given us all the possible means to reach Him and we do the opposite. If we have the purpose and this time we know the way, we have to force ourselves no matter what because we know that at the end we will see the truth and our true meaning of life.

Heavenly Father, we come to You because you are our God who would never change. A Father who will always care for us. Forgive us of our shortcomings. Continue to sanctify us that we will see clearly the way the truth and your will for us. We pray through the power of the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen!

Be still..I am God

Scriptural Readings: Psalms 46:10

To deal with time is not easy. It is a common headache for everyone. Time tell us to stop and when to go and as always time tells us we are in deep trouble. The problem with us today is that time has become our master and we are the follower.

One might argue that we cannot do anything about it. It is beyond one’s capacity to totally take control of our own time. It is impossible to save time and sooner or later we are going to lose it. There is no such thing as perfect timing. We could have started with the right things but will end up miserable at the end. Time will always be lost and it is very seldom on our side.

Yes, a lot of us will agree. Right? Guess what? This is actually the time that we over looked. It is the wasted time not the lost time. Once we got frustrated with the time we wasted for nothing, we stop, think and ponder and ask what happened and why we wasted those time and now we need more time desperately. We can never turn back the hands of time but as Christians we should bring Him back all the glory and praise with our time.

Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

God is patiently waiting for us to call on Him. Once we ran out of time because we wasted it, this is the time that we call upon His name and rescue us. Our God will always be a father to us. This is where time stops. We are so desperate for answers that we lost track of time praying. We do not care of the time just as long that we will be having answers for our prayers and as a result, we will be asking for more time.

For God, time is forever and we need to learn what everlasting is all about. We have to be still and listen to Him and know that He is God. Time stops when God tells us something. This is the time that we should stop and listen to Him. Sure thing every second will pass by but if we are going to use time for Him it is not losing neither wasting. We are gaining.

The bottom line for this is that we do not have the luxury of time. We do not even own our time at all. The truth is we only have a borrowed time. A certain time. Our time here on earth is limited. God holds our time and it should be devoted for Him, for His glorification. God will not allow us to spend eternity in hell so He sent Jesus His son to bring us back to everlasting relationship with our God. This is the true meaning and value of time. Spending eternity with our God!

Our Father in heaven, grant us the wisdom on how to use this time for You. Let Your Holy Spirit teach us on how to spend every second for Your glorification that our life would be the reflection of Your Son Jesus. We claim these promises through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen!

The countdown begins

Scriptural readings: Ephesians 5:15-17; II Timothy 4:2-5

When I was a kid, I had these kind of cheap wind up toys.I spent hours playing these toys not knowing that there are spiritual lessons about this. It was only lately that I knew that my dad, just like my Heavenly Father is giving me a message that is of so much essence in my life today that I have to share(very important too!).

I remember spending time with these toys(had a lot of fun too!) for the reason it works only for a short time. The process of which I did not know[only lately] that it has spiritual lessons for us to learn. When you wind up this kind of toy, using a key, will totally blow your mind(as a kid of course)! I spent hours and hours with these toys not knowing that now it brings a lot of valuable lessons.

Ephesians 5:15-17

v.15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

v.16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

v.17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is].

Our lives, just like these wind up toys would end up shortly. Once the key is turned and its full, it will wind down. This is the part where the toys make wonders for kids, and so for us. We have to redeem the time. Let us make this time of spreading the Gospel of Jesus as wonderful time for us. This is the time that we should exhaust our efforts for our Lord and Savior Jesus to understand what is His will.

II Timothy 4

v.2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

v. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

v. 4 And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

v. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

We have to carry out His instructions. The key as that of the wind up toy once turned, the countdown begins. We have to do verse 2 (Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine). We have to be well aware of verses 3 (For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;) and 4(And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.) and finally experience verse 5( But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.)

We were given a time frame. One day the world will end. Nothing should stop us from accomplishing these things for our Lord Jesus Christ. We were given the task to redeem the time. This is an instruction a commandment and we have make it happen because the countdown has begun.

Heavenly Father, we are bound for eternity, until then let us learn the value of this while we live in a limited time in this world. We can never have the luxury of time. Teach us the real meaning and value of time that we might be valuable to you. In the might name of Jesus we pray. Amen!
