Made new in Christ

The Lord says, “I am making a new earth and new heavens. The events of the past will be completely forgotten. Be glad and rejoice for ever in what I create. The new Jerusalem I make will be full of joy, and her people will be happy.
Isaiah 65:17‭-‬18

And have put on the new self... This is the new being which God, its Creator, is constantly renewing in his own image, in order to bring you to a full knowledge of himself.
Colossians 3:10

There is a reason why we called today or the now 'Present' because it is God's gift to us and each day is new, just like his mercies. And now that we are in the new we have to wholly and completely let go of our past for it rightfully belongs where it is, in the past...  Nor our we to worry about what tomorrow will bring. As a new creation in Christ we ought to live his gift each day as it comes for that is how He even thought us to pray "Give us this day, our DAILY bread" and in doing so, we depend on God than ourselves and that is how we are made new for we let His will be done in our lives, which is in sync with our total and complete Happiness.

I pray that God the ever loving Father continues the transformation in you each day drawing you closer to His Son Jesus Christ and may the Holy Spirit be your good Counsel each new day. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)

God's Love and Mercy

The Lord 's unfailing love and mercy still continue,  Fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise.
Lamentations 3:22‭-‬23

Bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more, then, will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
Matthew 7:11

God's goodness is way beyond our comprehension because as humans we have learnt not just to limit ourselves but also to limit God. We limit God because our minds have riddled it's course based on our own understanding and this only leads us to roadblocks, the more we persist, the more arduous and tedious the journey gets...
We don't merit God's favour, He chose to give it us either way because of who God is and not who we are. Parents sometimes say no, not because they don't love their children but because they know whats best for them at that particular time. Similarly God's Grace is being poured out either way, but how much more will He pour out then, especially when we seek to do His will in our lives....

I pray for an abundant out pouring of God's grace in your life in Christ Jesus as His will unfolds thus leading you to the very purpose you were created for... Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)

Faith and Freedom

Each of you should remain as you were when you accepted God's call. Were you a slave when God called you? Well, never mind; but if you have a chance to become free, use it.  For a slave who has been called by the Lord is free for the Lord; in the same way a free person who has been called by Christ is his slave. God bought you for a price; so do not become slaves of human beings.

1 Corinthians 7:20‭-‬23 GNBDC

For the gospel reveals how God puts people right with himself: it is through faith from beginning to end. As the scripture says, “The person who is put right with God through faith shall live.”

Romans 1:17 GNBDC

When Jesus came down to earth, there was divinity yet He was human, and He did all things like normal men, yet what kept Christ apart, is his faith in His Father knowing fully that He was part of God's plan for man's freedom. Every miracle that Jesus performed was preceded by Faith. It is by this Faith that He walked on water, it is by this very faith He raised Lazarus to life. And it is to this Faith that He calls you and me to live knowing fully that we too have a part to play in God's plan for man's freedom, for the harvest is plenty but the labourers are few which why God not just wants but needs you... And it order to live the plan we ourselves need to be free and that will only happen when we live by Faith.

I pray that God the Father pours out his love on you in Abundance thus drawing you to His son Jesus and may the Holy Spirit be His voice to your life of Faith and Freedom.

God Bless you and your loved ones:)

Scripture

The words of the Lord are true and all his works are dependable.
Psalms 33:4

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction for right living, so that the person who serves God may be fully qualified and equipped to do every kind of good deed.
2 Timothy 3:16‭-‬17

When Jesus was tempted in the wildernesses, He was tempted with the scriptures, which means the devil himself knew and understood the power in the word of God. The only way to combat him is by using the Word of God, just as Jesus did, for every word in Scripture comes from God. Many a times the same scripture might have touched us in different ways that's bec the word is active and in order understand it we need the Holy Spirit to open it up for us. For the Word of God is a seed that is sown into our Hearts and it is only when we nurture them, do they grow in the maturity of Christ, thus making us a new creation as we bear the fruits and gifts that come from God so that we maybe fully qualified and equipped to fulfill our God created purpose.

I pray that God's word be sown deep into your heart as you grow each day in the fullness of Christ, and may the Holy Spirit enlighten your understanding to God's word and purpose fro your life . Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)

God has Great Plans for You

However, as the scripture says: “What no one ever saw or heard, what no one ever thought could happen, is the very thing God prepared for those who love him.”
1 Corinthians 2:9

I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for.
Jeremiah 29:11

The mysterious ways God will always be beyond our understanding unless we submit and seek to know His will, for God's will is in sync with our total and perfect Happiness. No matter who or where you are God has never left you, and this is the truth, we take ourselves away from God feeling unworthy especially when we fall, but have we ever realized that even our state of grace comes from God. If you look back at your lives and pay attention to certain instances, where you've chosen to do not what you want but what felt right by your conscience,  you will notice that God has made every wrong right, and how his hand of protection was, is and will always be on you, notice how the dots connect it all seems perfect, for that is how our God is; Awesome, Unconditionally Loving and Perfect  and He wants to give us a lot, but  only as along as we are open to receive his gift of Hope that never fades, Love that never ends and a Life full of Abundance...

I pray that Love of God our Father move you each day to submit to His Love and like Jesus may you always do the will of God, thus being lead by the Holy Spirit to the  fullness of Life. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)

His Grace is Sufficient

Every test that you have experienced is the kind that normally comes to people. But God keeps his promise, and he will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time you are put to the test, he will give you the strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out.
1 Corinthians 10:13

But his answer was: “My grace is all you need, for my power is greatest when you are weak.” I am most happy, then, to be proud of my weaknesses, in order to feel the protection of Christ's power over me.
2 Corinthians 12:9

Have you ever felt cornered or let down lately? Do you feel that no matter how much you are trying, your not yielding the results desired? Well know that your not alone, for at that time God is the closest to you and is wanting to talk to you and tell you that from here on this is how you do stuff or this is the path to go, because God wants you to grow in fullness, wisdom and in the maturity of Christ, who even on being crucified, prayed to the Father, "To forgive...,"
But as Humans, we often tend to limit God because God isn't tangible and it takes faith and hope on our path to really believe that God is working in our lives...
Every test you go through is meant to be a testimony for when you allow God to take control of your weakness, you will find the strength to pass your test, thus growing you to the person God intended you to be...

I pray that God the most merciful Father pours out His Grace in Abundance on you and may you find God's strength just as Jesus did in the wilderness to pass every test and may you be lead by the Holy Spirit to act in accordance. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)

Freedom in Jesus

So Jesus said to those who believed in him, “If you obey my teaching, you are really my disciples;  you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 8:31‭-‬32

The thief comes only in order to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come in order that you might have life — life in all its fullness.
John 10:10

Jesus came to set us free, and it is in His truth that we find total and absolute freedom to live life just as God intended for man, when He made Adam & Eve, God gave them authority over all things. Do we really know the truth or are we still caught up in our own thoughts and beliefs? Do we justify things in the human realm?
Sometimes we are scared to hear what God has to say perhaps because at times we want to hear something else. But God's ways are not our ways nor are His thoughts like ours.
If we truly desire the life of Fullness that comes only from Christ then we ought to know Him more and in a deeper way, for He is the Truth, the Way and the Life and once you know the Truth, the truth will set you free.

I pray that God the Almighty Father reveal to you in His wisdom the Truth that Jesus Christ is our only Hope and may the revelation bring you to the Life of Fullness as you be blessed by the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)

We are called to Live by Faith

To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see.
Hebrews 11:1

For we fix our attention, not on things that are seen, but on things that are unseen. What can be seen lasts only for a time, but what cannot be seen lasts for ever.
2 Corinthians 4:18

As humans we are always looking for something tangible, like St. Thomas we want to put our fingers in the holes made, we want to put our hands in the side, but that is human nature. Yes, we are human but we aren't called to live by human limitations, to begin with we were made in His image and likeness which means we have the power that He has bestowed. The fact that Jesus Christ took the form of Man, makes us divine as God became man, and the act itself makes us co-heirs in Christ. And as Christ rose from the dead,   He assures us that we would do even greater things. But in order to do greater things, we need is faith; Faith the women had when she touched the hem of His garment. Faith the centurion had when he said, "Lord only say the word..." The same faith that Jesus spoke about when He was healing the people and said, "Let it be done according to your faith..." All we need is Faith as little as a mustard seed and watch mountains move.

I pray that God the Benevolent Father pour out on you His Grace in abundance, and may you be lead by the Holy Spirit to grow more each day in Faith, Hope n Love in Christ Jesus. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)

The Word

What you say can preserve life or destroy it; so you must accept the consequences of your words.
Proverbs 18:21

Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life.
John 6:68

There is an old adage in my native language konkani, which translates to "Just because the tongue has no bone, it doesn't mean that you can use to say anything..." We often underestimate the power of words,  Words are very powerful; to begin with God spoke the world into existence, it is on His word that we were made; both man and woman. It his through His word that God speaks to His people, Mary accepted God's will, saying Let it be done to me according to His word' and salvation came to man because the word was made flesh. How are we using our words: Do we use them to lift up another or do we use them to malign? Do we use it to comfort or to hurt ? Do we use it to make or break? It is rightly said, with great power comes great responsibility and our words are very powerful for we are created in His image and likeness, are we then using our words for the greater Glory of God...

I pray that God the Almighty Father shower on you His wisdom, and just as the word became flesh in Christ Jesus, winning salvation for us all, may all that you speak be from the Holy Spirit, thus bringing the good news to all you meet.

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
