WHAT CHRIST DID

-
Colossians 1:22
Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.

How great a redemption, paid with so great a price. That we who were born in sin and rejected would now be presented to the Heavenly Father as HOLY, BLAMELESS and WITHOUT FAULT!

That is what Yeshua, Jesus the Christ did for us. Halleluyah

So when God looks at us He doesn't see our shortcomings or faults but He sees the perfect Christ. Glory.

Can this be everyone's portion? Yes,  Jew or Gentile, no matter who we are. This grace is given to all who believe!

Colossians 1:21
This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions.

Titus 2:11
 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:

Yes Christ finished this great work for us. Halleluyah.

Now do we have a part to play, for the finished work?  NO. "It is finished".

However we must believe, abide and live it.

Colossians 1:23
But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God’s servant to proclaim it.

John 15:5-8,10
“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned.
But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!
When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.
When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.

Titus 2:12-13
And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God,
while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.

Thus we make a mockery of what Christ has done if we do not abide in Him, if we do not walk in obedience. We must let go of the former, "the world" and work in the Spirit.

God help us.

Therefore Brethren, let us stay spiritually fit. In:

*prayer
*worship
*study of the word
*fastings
*evangelism
*meditation etc.

Remembering that we are no longer condemned, the enemy cannot deceive us anymore, we are no longer debtors. The Messiah has paid our price.

May the fullness of what Christ has done for us, fill us, we will not fail Him. We will remain victorious. Halleluyah.

All glory to the Heavenly Father.

He calls us blessed.

Love
@the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
