The grace of God offers salvation to all people.
It teaches us to say “NO” to ungodliness and worldly passions.
It teaches us to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives.
(Titus 2: 11).
Live a godly life, because God expects you to do so. Let there be a difference between you and ohers. Let people see the difference and accept Christ, because You reflect the light of God.
The lamb is slaughtered, so that the blood is offered to God as a penalty for sin to seek forgiveness.
In the Bible, Jesus is the Lamb slaughtered for the sins of man. There is no need for slaughter of lamb as a sin offering.
Jesus is the lamb who was slain and with His blood he purchased every person from every tribe and language and people and nation (Revelation 5:9).
Jesus is the Lamb who bought us with His precious blood (I Peter 1:19).
Any sin, any tresspass, any wrong doing is washed by the blood of Jesus. Just a word of prayer seeking forgiveness will cure us of all sins.
“Lord, forgive me, I am a sinner. Give me the strength to overcome temptations and to walk in the right path, Amen”
This is a simple prayer that will draw us closer to God!
God is light and in Him there is no darkness (I John 1-5).
When we sin, we are engulfed in darkness. But the Lord can turn our darkness into light (Ps 18-28).
When we seek forgiveness of sin, we are forgiven by the blood of Jesus Christ that He shed on the cross for all sinners.
Let us turn back to light. and reflect the light of Jesus Christ by living a blameless and sinless life.
When our mind suggests a particular choice, but in practice we prefer another decision, we need God’s help to choose and make the right choice.
When we seek God’s help, we can make the right choice.
If you are in the Spirit of Christ, your mind is controlled by what the Spirit of Christ tells you to do (Romans 8-5).
Lord, take control of my mind. Help me to overcome sin. Help me to take the right path. In Jesus Name, Amen!
Success drives a person to be ambitious and to achieve more. Success makes us happy. With success, we get more power, material benefits and it establishes a good reputation for us. Success shows that we are qualified for a particular job and it reflects our ability to achieve targets.
But the Bible says,
The Lord says, “it is not because of your righteousness or your integrity that you were successful. It is not because of your righteousness that the Lord your God is giving you this good land to possess, but because of the promise made to Abraham, Issac and Jacob (Deut 9-6).
When we are successful, let us be humble and give God the credit for our success.
Lord, we give credit for our succes to You. It is not my righteousness that has made me what I am today, It is Your grace and Your blessing. I thank You Lord for everything in my life, my achievements, my studies,, my talent and my abiitiy to be successful goes to You, O Lord, In Jesus Name, Amen
When our loved ones backslide, it fills our hearts with grief. There are many famous celebrities who are backsliding and giving wrong signals to the world.
Lord, I pray for our loved ones, our fellow Christians who are backsliding. Lord given them another chance, just as you rescued me from the miry clay of sin.
The prophet Hosea speaks about such Christians who are backsliding.
Hosea 2: 14 says, The Lord will speak tenderly to such people and try to bring them back to their early days. Lord, shower Your grace and bring them back to the Christian belief.
Hosea 11:9 says, I will not carry out my fierce anger, nor will I devastate you, for I am God and not a man. I am the Holy One. Lord, do not allow your fierce anger to descend upon our people, let your grace find them because You are God, the Holy One. .
Hosea 13:14 says, The Lord will deliver the people from the power of the grave. Lord, redeem Your people!
When we say, Lord, forgive our sins and receive us graciously, and offer the fruit of our lips (worship), the Lord will forgive us and bring us back to Him (Hosea 14-2).
If you know of people who are backsliding, pray for them. The Lord seeks one person who will stand in the gap and pray for such people.
Be that person! Redeem backsliding Christians!
Are you praying alone, don’t worry, Jesus prayed alone too!
Do not feel alone, You have Jesus who stood alone on the cross, He prayed alone, He was a lone person and He said, “Lord, Why did You forsake me”.
Sometimes, when I feel lonely, I take the Bible in my hand and pray with my hands on the Bible and I say, “Lord, I have You by my side. I am not alone”.
Have faith, You are not alone, God is always by your side. Just seek Him in faith.
Parents love their children, friends stick up with their peers and love them, relatives love us, but …. God’s love is above all, it is True Love.
God loved us when we were sinners, God took up the cross to save us from sin even when we were sinners, God shed His blood to save us from the evil forces.
Are you looking for peace. Don’t search the world for peace. Your friends, your spouse, your family, entertainment, liquor….. nothing can give you peace. Seek peace from God.
Spend some minutes in prayer. Be alone with Christ. Tell Him your troubles, shed your tears in prayer and confide the turmoil within you.
Jesus said,
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid (Luke 14-27).
Yes, Jesus has given us His peace within our hearts. Just search for this inner peace, which you can find when you spend time alone with God.
Jesus is with us. He is in our heart. Search your heart and you will find Him.
Once you find Christ within you,
Take time to spend with God. You need inner strength, not a few minutes of worldly pleasure. Find God within you to gain peace.
Walk of Faith
