If you open your heart to receive God’s Gift – Jesus & His righteousness, you become the object of God’s focus & His blessings

4th March 2020
Grace for you today !
Having much more!!

“But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, **much more **the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Adam’s sin brought death to the whole human race. Disease and death were never the intent of God. In fact these are the enemies of God.
Your suffering on account of sin, sickness and every evil is never the will of God.
I have come across many who say that the sufferings of mankind is the will of God . Also in most of the Insurance policies, natural catastrophes are defined as “Acts of God”. What an erroneous belief ! My heart weeps over such. God is always good and can never inflict sickness upon man as punishment or means of correction. This is because, He made Jesus to be sin so that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. (2 Cor 5:21)

*Today, if you open your heart to receive God’s Gift – Jesus & His righteousness, you become the object of God’s focus & His blessings*. This is not just one time experience. We keep receiving the revelation of Jesus every day and flow in His blessings abundantly & always. That’s why we pray for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ.
*The more you know Him the much more you get to experience His blessings *( wisdom being the foremost blessing).
Seek Him and experience what is His! Amen 🙏

Praise Jesus !

For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son.

Grace for you today !
Having much more!!
“For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The death of our Lord Jesus Christ reconciled God and mankind. Though God was reconciled with mankind at the point of death of His beloved Son, yet it takes the positive response on the part of mankind to receive & experience His unfailing love and forgiveness. For the last 2000 years , God is pleading with mankind to be reconciled with Him. He is a humble God, full of love and long suffering, not willing that anyone should perish.
But those who have responded positively to His unfailing love, experience the much more blessing surely & certainly. The Lord unfolds the unheard and untold blessing.
His (Jesus) death reconciled us with God and His life ( resurrection) has elevated us to be seated with God to reign in this life.
You are destined to reign in this life through the resurrection life of Christ. No sickness , no plague , no depression, no poverty can intimidate you . All these contrary forces including death,  bow down to you. You are more than a conqueror through Christ our Lord!  Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus !

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners.

*Grace for you today* !
*Having much more*!!
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. *Much more then*, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:8-9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus chose to die for us when we were still sinners. We were at the very worst when He was at His very best for us. This is a breath taking revelation!
When we didn’t even know Him , He stood  for us. When we were against Him, He was for us. When we rejected Him, He accepted us. He took our rebellion upon Himself and said, “Father, forgive them for they do not know what they do”.
**When He was for us when we didn’t want Him, how much more, now that we have accepted Him?! ***How much more*….!!
*My beloved , this month we will experience “The  much more blessings “* and *it all begins from this day forth. It will overflow all through  this week and the rest of this month* .
Get ready for  “The much more blessings” …..*simply because you are the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus* ! *Amen*🙏

Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.

*Grace for you today ! *
God answers you by awesome deeds !!

“and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.
But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭14:24-25, 27‬

All is well as long as we are in the comfort zone / secured zone ,even when the presence of Jesus is absent. The boat in which the disciples were sailing was a secured / comfort zone even though the Lord Jesus wasn’t with them until contrary winds blew against the boat and their comfort zone began to terrify them.
Are you going through similar experience ? Is your comfort/ security ….the person you were relying on or a place or a job shaken ?
Be of good cheer my beloved ! This is what the Lord is still saying (to you personally now ). For, even if the God father like mountains depart or well wishers like hills be removed but My kindness shall never depart nor shall My covenant of peace be removed , says the Lord . (Isaiah 54:10)
Even if the mother forsakes her child I will never forsake you says the Lord ( Isaiah 49:15)
What an awesome assurance given by the Lord Jesus !
He is longing for you to come to Him and have His rest .
Just look unto Jesus , He has paid the price so that you can never to forsaken not feel shaken (insecure).

Praise Jesus !
Amen 🙏

And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!

*Grace for you today ! *

“And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭15:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

This is a wonderful defense from the Apostle Paul where he clarifies to those who had doubts whether Jesus is truly risen or not.He says if Christ is not risen , then there is nothing to believe and we are still in sins .

Let’s put the same statement in reverse order : If Christ is risen , then your faith has meaning and is full of power.Importantly ,you are not in sins at all anymore.
Some of us struggle to believe on the teaching that all our sins ( past , present and future) were forgiven .
A few ask for reference and here is the reference and this is the defense -* God who is eternal , not living in time , can see the past , the present and the future sins of mankind . He took all these sins and placed it on the body of Jesus Christ and completely punished all sin on the body of Jesus *- Romans 8:3.* Thereby, God has put away all sins even before we came into existence .*
God raised Jesus from the dead , leaving behind all sin in hell so that we can walk in newness of life -Romans 6:4
If you believe this, you will experience the resurrection power and live victoriously in all aspects of live.

Praise Jesus !
Amen 🙏

Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.

Grace for you today !
God answers you by awesome deeds !!

“Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” And they divided His garments and cast lots.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭23:34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

There is no way anyone can plead forgiveness for those who have done wrong willfully unless the pleader is so full of love . The more Jesus was squeezed the more the love that oozed out .
All of us in our weakest moment or sickness or tiredness or lowest times of life ,speak out words of frustration hurting the hearer.
But Jesus, while He hung on the Cross after being ruthlessly tortured, spoke these gracious words to His Father to forgive them .
This one single prayer took care of all our sins for all times whether committed in the past or present or in the future

*Willing acceptance of His forgiveness gives us the power not to sin . *
Our greatest sin is self righteousness and it blocks our willingness to receives His forgiveness. If I have to define self righteousness, the space here will be insufficient . To explain in simple terms ,expressions like “ I can , I know , I am better etc” are manifestation of self righteousness, trusting in our ability or boasting in oneself.
Let’s shun such self righteousness and accept willingly His love by receiving His forgiveness & boast in God’s Righteousness!

Praise Jesus
Amen
