The Victor's Crown

Image
"Isn’t it obvious that all runners on the racetrack keep on running to win, but only one  receives the victor’s prize? Yet each one of you must run the race to be victorious. A true  athlete will be disciplined in every respect, practicing constant self-control in order to win a  laurel wreath that quickly withers. But we run our race to win a victor’s crown that will last  forever. For that reason, I don’t run just for exercise or box like one throwing aimless  punches, but I train like a champion athlete. I subdue my body and get it under my control,  so that after preaching the good news to others I myself won’t be disqualified." 1 Corinthians 9:24‭-‬27 TPT https://bible.com/bible/1849/1co.9.24-27.TPT #makeJesusfamous

Friend of God

Image
"You show that you are my intimate friends when you obey all that I command you.  I have never called you servants, because a master doesn't confide in his servants, and servants don't always understand what the master is doing.  But I call you my most intimate friends, for I reveal to you everything that I've heard from my Father." John 15: 14- 15 TPT Jesus Christ calls us His friends, The King of kings wants to be our friend. He offer us His friendship over and over. He does not take offence when we decline His friendship... He patiently stands at the door of our hearts, waiting for us to open and let Him in.  When we open up and allow the Creator and Everlasting King into our hearts, New Life and New Truth are born.  When God designed us and formed us, He put His breath in our lungs by blowing through our nostrils. Adam and Eve, had conversations with God, He himself told them how to enjoy their existences to the fullest.   We were ...

The Beautiful Garden

Image
"Then God planted a garden in Eden, in the east. He put the Man he had just made in it. God made all kinds of trees grow from the ground, trees beautiful to look at and good to eat. The Tree-of-Life was in the middle of the garden, also the Tree-of-Knowledge-of-Good-and-Evil. A river flows out of Eden to water the garden and from there divides into four rivers." Genesis 2:8‭-‬10 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/gen.2.8-10.MSG The Extraordinary Creator did not restricts us from eating from the Tree of Life. Jesus Christ is the Truth, the Way and The Life.  We are invited every day to come and eat from the Tree of Life.  God especially planted, the garden in the east of Eden, where He put Adam.  The garden gave sustenance and freedom in the original identity of man. Jesus Christ came to give us back that freedom and to give us life in abandance.  His yoke is easy and light, thus, we are free in Christ. The tree we were not supposed to eat from flo...

Hit The Ground Running

[The Lord rebukes Jeremiah for his impatience, saying] “If you have raced with men on foot and they have tired you out, Then how can you compete with horses? If you fall down in a land of peace [where you feel secure], Then how will you do [among the lions] in the [flooded] thicket beside the Jordan? JEREMIAH 12:5 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/jer.12.5.AMP When we have chosen life in Christ our reality shifts into a new Truth. Truth that comes to life when the Light of the World moves into our hearts and shares with us things we did not know before. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. The Revelation 3:20 TLV https://bible.com/bible/314/rev.3.20.TLV To keep up with horses we need the Creator to feed us Truth. We still get to experience life, the joys and the challenges, but The Lord f Lordpromises that He will go with us through the fire, the waters and th...

THE GIFT IN THE REBUKE

Image
A parent has the responsibility to shape and mould their children from an early age.  A mother corrects her child while breastfeeding, giving gentle instructions. A close friend and sister in Christ recently gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and listening to her new profound journey in motherhood is just so beautiful.  From the first moment, the feeding process is accompanied with teaching and instruction to ensure growth and development. This goes hand in hand with the intimate bond between a child and parent. like newborn babies [you should] long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may be nurtured and grow in respect to salvation [its ultimate fulfillment], if in fact you have [already] tasted the goodness and gracious kindness of the Lord. 1 PETER 2:2‭-‬3 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/1pe.2.2-3.AMP Photo found on Pinterest.

Predestined Purpose

Image
A predestined purpose is one of the many awesome gifts we can receive from God and He alone make it picture perfect!  We follow in obedience. For if you remain silent at this time, liberation and rescue will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and your father’s house will perish [since you did not help when you had the chance]. And who knows whether you have attained royalty for such a time as this [and for this very purpose]?” ESTHER 4:14 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/est.4.14.AMP Image found on Pinterest One evening in May 2017 while in prayer and seeking guidance from the Lord - I clearly received reference to Queen Esther. As I understood the manner in which I was referred to the Book of Esther, in the Bible, I spent some time getting familiar with this Word of God. In short let me give a brief background - please do take the time to read this beautiful Word yourself. But in short... Esther was among hundreds of other young women selected ...
