Repost: DAY 2 – WHY DID JESUS COME TO DIE?

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him. But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.

(1 John 3:5, 8 NLT)

Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come. ” (Luke 4:18, 19 NLT)

Jesus brought Good news to the poor, healing to the sick, hope to the hopeless, and faith to the faithless. He delivered those who were possessed by demons. He raised the death. And He gave us Power over all the powers of the enemy. Jesus came to die on the cross to set us free from the bondage of the devil.

Satan has no power over you again because God has bought you at a Price. You are saved, healed, empowered, equipped, and have been elevated in Jesus’ Name.

Thought For the Day: Don’t Judge (06.04.20)

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Don’t judge others, and God will not judge you. If you judge others, you will be judged the same way you judge them. God will treat you the same way you treat others.

(Matthew 7:1, ERV)

David thought the rich man who took a poor man’s little ewe lamb deserved to dies and must pay for the lamb four times over. How about the king who took another man’s wife and planned his death to conceal his action?

Don’t be quick to judge because you may be setting template(s) for your own life. Instead be generous and full of Grace. Show love when people least deserved it. Remember that God will treat you the same way you treat others.

Graceful Journey (1 min read)

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Here are few thoughts about Life:

  • Life is a Journey
  • Life is full of mysteries
  • Life on earth is time bound
  • Many things come to distract Life from its purpose
  • Life is a race
  • Life isn’t competition with people

Life is a Race but each individual has different course to follow which eliminates the concept of Competition. The only competition that exist is with yourself (or myself). You were created with unique skills and abilities for distinct purpose so we can’t compete in anyway. 

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

(2 Timothy 4:7, KJV)

This race has prize tag when you cross your finished line. The prize is so great that your adversary will try anything possible to distract you every minute. He wants you to bury your talent till the Master comes.

Here is the main thing:
The race is structured in such a way that you can’t finish with your own strength. You need God. When you recognize the God Factor (G) in your RACE, You activate GRACE. 

If you have played racing games before, GRACE is like Boosters in racing games. It releases your supernatural power to do extraordinary things you couldn’t do on your own.

Therefore when your Race turns to GRACE, Life becomes easy as the Holy Spirit begins to work in you daily to outsmart your adversary and his strategies.

Race is full of struggles but GRACE comes with Peace and Ease. Where people fail to cross, you triumph. You don’t get stuck in Life and everything you do prospers.

Be encouraged to recognize the God Factor in your Journey (Personal life, family, marriage, business, academics, career, etc) and I can assure you that your Journey will be Graceful.
