Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hallelujah! He works miracles today as He did some years ago. As we begin this week, I want you to believe that ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. And I believe that God will do the unimaginable in your life.

Just like the blind man in John 9, your story and testimony is going to blow people’s mind. Take the limit off of God and see Him work in your life this week. He will do it in Jesus’ Name.

Power Thought: Week 15

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

It’s often the case that evidence(s) on the ground would appear that the enemy is winning But in the end Victory belongs to Jesus. If you are in Jesus, then your Victory over any situation is assured. Stop looking at the evidences (or your storms) and gaze upon Jesus.

Peace Rock - John 16:33
Even in the midst of a stormy sea of trouble, we can have peace in Jesus, a peace as solid as a rock. But if we give in to worry and fear, we will be in danger of sinking. August 5, 2007

Begin this week with this Confidence that in Christ you are more than conqueror. Amen

Reward for your Sacrifices (1min read)

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Then Peter said to him, “We’ve given up everything to follow you. What will we get?” (Matthew 19:27, NLT)

imagePeter, like many of us, asked Jesus “Master, what is our reward for investing everything we have in promoting Your business? (in my own words). Peter considered the opportunity cost for following Jesus and wanted to know how profitable his sacrifice would be in the end.  In the same way, we are (sometimes) tempted to rethink about some sacrifices we make in our churches or individually to support God’s work.

Jesus’ response to Peter’s question was remarkable. He replied “everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or property, for my sake, will receive a hundred times as much in return and will inherit eternal life.” (Matthew 19:29, NLT).

Jesus told Peter (in my own words) “don’t worry Peter because whatever you have given up for my sake, you will receive a hundred times as much in return on earth, and you will also inherit eternal life.”

In the same way friends, whatever we are giving (or have given up) for Jesus’ sake, we will receive a hundred times as much on earth, and we will inherit eternal life. In other words, there are bountiful rewards for us in this life. I don’t know how He is going to do it but one thing is certain; God’s Word can be trusted.

Peter’s new job was to fish for people according to Luke 5. And he saw the first part of the promise come to pass on the day of Pentecost. The Scripture says those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day – about 3000 in all.

My question for you is;

What are you willing to sacrifice for Jesus?

Be encouraged that nothing is wasted and God will continually bless you for promoting His Kingdom business. Don’t give up!
