Glorification

By -
John 13:31, 32, ‘… Now is the Son of Man glorified and God is glorified in Him. If God is glorified in Him, God will glorify the Son in Himself, and will glorify Him at once.’ Through obedience to the Father, Jesus the Son of God was glorified, being resurrected from the dead in all glory with the power to bring to life, the dead in heart, that is you and me who were living sinful lives. Through that act of obedience God was glorified in the Son as being the Holy, merciful, faithful and just God. By His sacrifice of His one and only Son, we glorify God for His abounding grace and love for mankind. Now when we are born again in Jesus Christ and die to ourselves and submit to live a life of total surrender and obedience to the will of Christ over our lives, we glorify the Son, who is in us by living in righteous not due to our own ability but through Christ who strengthens us. The Son then glorifies the Father through us and we are in turn glorified by the Father. Let us therefore allow Jesus the Son of God to do His work in us, so that we may become perfect and complete and be glorified by the Father for bringing Him glory through the Son.

Giving Praise to God

By -
we need to take time and be thankful to the Lord for all the things he has done in our life, the blessings he has poured on us, the afflictions he has prevented us from suffering, the courage he has given us to face difficult times, the solace he gave us when we were sorrowful, and the gift of forgiveness and eternal life. Our God is a compassionate and gracious God and we need to rejoice and be glad in it. We should honor God with songs of praise for even the angels honor him with song in heaven. It is good that in most churches before they start the service, they honor God with songs of praise and worship. These songs not only honor God but uplift us, they give us hope, they empower us and remind us of our loving Father, Our Saviour, Our redeemer, Our comforter. David put it best in Psalms 103:1-5, ´Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits – who forgives all your sins, and heals all your di

Christian Living

Collosians 3:12-17, 'Therefore, as God´s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience . Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Jesus Christ taught us how to live in righteousness. Paul told the Collosians the traits we need to hold dear in our heart as men and women of God namely compassion, kindness, humility, ge

Our Savior

Isaiah 43:1-3, ‘But now, this is what the Lord says – He who created you, O Jacob, He who formed you O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy one of Israel, your Savior…”’ In this dying and corrupt world, we who are ambassadors of Jesus are hated by this world and we will face persecution on top of the troubles of this world. But we must remain steadfast because our God has not and will not forsake us. He bought us and redeemed us with the blood of His Son Jesus, who is the author and perfecter of our faith. We are now His Sons through Jesus Christ. When we pass through murky waters or are threatened to be engulfed and overwhelmed by the sin in this world, we shall not be swept away becau
