Blessed New Year & Beyond!
Yes, I am a Fool in Christ ! or Am I Wise in World?
I am called a fool. An odd man(woman) out. I am with high ground intellectuals. I am questioned for matters I do not know.
I am asked to explain the magnificance of his majesty's works. Mainly his flaws. I am ridiculed. Thats fine.
If there is any wisdom that can separate your love from me, my relationship with you, your mercies for me. I declare now I DO NOT want that. You are my Dad and I am your child. I love you forever.
As we prepare to welcome the New Year, I spill some of my thoughts here that overflow my heart even whilst I am busy with my house hold chores.
The other day, I was doing dishes and scrubbing hard to get rid of the milk & Tea remnants. It is always hard. So I let it soak and keep that as a last dish to be washed. I put all my strength when I scrub it. I think of that shiny stainless steel while I scrub it to feel motivated. Then it struck me. Struck me real hard! I am like this vessel as I gather stains and dirt with my daily busy life that I might lose my dignity to hold the lord’s blessings and I realize I need a good scrubbing.
Isn’t that true, the vessel with dirt or decay can hold the Milk or anything edible good ONLY for a bit. That vessel can’t be of use for TIME. The dirt in the vessel would ruin the food gathered in it. Someone can still use that food or eat from that vessel during that goodness time period. Little we understand that fact and we get distracted to start accumulating more dirt until we become a vessel that can hold the blessing good even for a bit.
Such is the case when this vessel – You and I, can only hold the blessings of the lord GOOD as long we are GOOD. The moment we start losing our purity or the worthiness, the blessings showered on us, gathered in us would start go stale.
BTW, did I say the Al Mighty would keep stop blessing us? Yep. He is the Alpha and Omega,…the Compassionate,…the Eternal father. He loves us and blesses us ALWAYS. Don’t we say GOD is good ALWAYS! Yet, it is with us remains that responsibility to decide the magnificence of his blessings on us. Our obsession to be obedient to his words, our humility to serve others, our desire to follow and lead like he guides would exponentially increase or decrease the blessings bestowed upon us.
In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work. Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Friends, We cannot do this on our own strength, join me and let us pray to LORD – the maker of heaven and earth, to Jesus Christ – Our Savior, the Rose of Sharon to make us a worthy vessel.
Please give us wisdom and strength to be that Vessel worthy of your blessings to multiply and use them for your glory this New Year and years to come.
With every dawn we know we are one step closer to see our Savior the lover of our soul face to face. Thank you LORD for your favors in order for us, this New year and beyond.
Message is clear - Battle is over! We have won! Our King reigns!
Once upon a time, a mighty KING went for a war with an obnoxious enemy 2000 miles away from his kingdom. This 2000 miles span across the darkest steep valleys, dangerous cliff filled high mountains, a deadly rough terrain and a vast desert.
The KING went alone for the battle, for his people, for his kingdom and he WON the enemies in all his glory.
The victory news reaches the citizens. They are filled with peace and happiness that their King has won the battle, they rejoice his victory, and they receive comfort the ALL IS WELL.
But the official(s) of the enemies are still around - Evil Official(s) those who were previously in charge of the kingdom. They are frightened. They are worried hearing the news. They have lost. They do not want to leave the mighty nation built by King’s love and grace. They put a show. They conjure a plan to trick the original, actual, legal, powerful inhabitants of the nation.
They proclaim the news is all false. They confuse people…they take away their wealth, health and all that belong to the citizens. They succumb to the Enemies’ lies.
Citizens are now worried and perplexed as they wait for the King. They just wait [for] of the King to come back and act. They are too timid and weak. They succumb to the Enemies’ lies. What they do NOT do is that they have a power that they can exercise.
They do not completely understand the power of the message they have received, the power of the inheritance they have received from their King, as a citizen.
Enemy gains power and control thru the citizen’s disbelief and doubts. As he gains that, he open up the Pandora box of desires & worldly pleasures the root of all evils, the sickness leading multitudes of sin and curses.
Enemy thinks the KING is anyway 2000 miles away, he can do anything to King’s people as long as he keeps the Citizens blind, deaf and mute of the truth, the victory.
This world is that KINGDOM which the KING of KINGS, JESUS won the battle at Calvary 2000 years ago. The battle against every possible sin against us,…the temptation,..the Satan.
OPEN your eyes the citizens of Mighty King. OPEN! Battle is over,..the WAR is won,..! JESUS has won,.. We have won!
VICTORY is bought by Christ…The Savior,…the holiest of the holiest,…the mightiest of the mightiest for our Sins, Curses, Sickness, Poverty, Debts, Losses and he has restored everything back . OPEN your eyes and rebuke the enemies and drive him to his den of dark caves with burning sulphur cascades and river. CLAIM all yours in Christ the LORD OF LORDS, KING OF KINGS!
GOD is good and righteous. His mercies are all over every living things. The lord is gracious and merciful. Slow to anger and great in compassion. Hallelujah! Let our eyes be opened to LORD alone. GOD BLESS!
