SON OF GOD

Just as the Holy Spirit testified before and after the birth of Jesus Christ; that He is the Son of God - the only begotten of the Father, Jesus' Himself never fail to affirm that He is the Son of God whenever He is asked of His Divine identity (Matthew 3:16, Mark 14:62, Luke 1:35). Also, He is the revelation of God's Word, who was from the beginning with the Father; by whom all things were created - being the Light and Life of men. He "became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth " (John 1:1-4,9&14).

Therefore, receiving Him into our hearts; faithfully for who He is, makes us deserving of His sonship and Divine inheritance,. Still, as we continue living the life of Christ, proclaiming the Gospel of Salvation, even as we bear more fruits for His glory, we will never lose our Christ identify as Brethren with Him.

PRAYER: Thank you LORD, Jesus Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith; for You are my Salvation, and my redemption omes from You alone. 

Blessed be Your Holy name,

Hallelujah!

From Luke 22:70

KNOW YOUR DIVINE DESTINATION

Every Christian should know where he is going; where he will spend his eternity, and be focused on it at all times. Though, knowing this and living to attain it comes with trials; yet, as our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, focused on His destiny and not on His pain or suffering - we should endeavor to do the same; because we've been empowered by the Holy Spirit to do so (John 3:5, Acts 2).

Also, as we remain focused on our Divine destination to be united with the saints in Heaven; revealing our Christ identify to the world, even as we endlessly bear more fruits for God's Kingdom, we will surely be received up into Heaven by Jesus Christ the Author and Finisher of our faith, on the last day.

PRAYER: Thank you LORD, for I am destined to be with the saints in Heaven, as I remain dedicated and focused on my Christ's Calling - bearing fruits that remains for Your glory in Christ Jesus,

Amen.

From Luke 22:69

REFUSING TO BELIEVE

Even as the Holy Spirit testifies that we are Heirs of the Father, living the life of Christ on Earth - proclaiming His Gospel for the advancement of God's Kingdom; still, those who are moved by evil motives; being engulfed in the lust of the flesh and the deception of the devil, will always overlook the Divine truth, only to seek for ways to dispose the vessels of Light (Luke 20:5-7). Yet, "the LORD redeems the souls of His servants, and none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned" ( Psalm 34:22).

Furthermore, as we've received the Word of God by faith, abiding in Him, we will always remain vessels of His glorious Light; having been redeemed from the forces of darkness - revealing the Truth to all, that others may know the Truth and be set free as we are in Christ Jesus (John 8:31-32).

PRAYER: Thank you LORD, for the gift of the Holy Spirit; who reveals who I am in Christ Jesus, my Blessed Redeemer,

Amen.

From Luke 22:67-68

REMORSE SOUL

Everyone who truly repent from the depth of their hearts; shows signs of remorse - regreting their sinful and wrongful deeds, while they humble themselves to be deserving of Divine forgiveness. This makes them worthy of God's Mercy and redeeming Grace, needed for the Salvation of their souls.

However, being remorseful of sinful acts and wrongful thoughts; reveals one's readiness and total submission to his Christ's Calling, while he makes himself useful in the LORD'S Vineyard - bearing fruits that remains for God's Kingdom. So, let's never stop proclaiming the Gospel; reaching more souls and touching lives with the Good News of Salvation, that more souls may come into repentance - being remorseful of their sins, and receive Jesus Christ into their hearts, for the redemption of their souls.

PRAYER: In Jesus' name, thank you LORD, Merciful Father, for Your redeeming Grace and unconditional Love, which keeps me preserved in Your presence - being remorseful of my wrong deeds, and focused on living the life of Christ; bearing fruits that remains for the advancement of Your Kingdom,

Amen.

From Luke 22:54-62

CHALLENGING TIMES

The life of every faithful Christian is graced with the love of God, which restores peace to our souls; as we remain in communion with the Holy Spirit, through Christ who lives in us. Even so, there are times where challenges arise - coming from the kingdom of darkness, with the intention of obstructing the fulfilment of God's Word, and Divine purpose for our lives; yet, as we remain steadfast to our Christ's Calling, every of their efforts will turn out to be a steping stone towards a greater glory in our lives.

However, while going through challenging and trouble times; you shouldn't relent in praying for the fulfilment of God's Divine will and purpose for your life, because you have been reborn into the body of Christ, for this reason; that you may continue to triumph over every snare of the wicked one - proving to him that He that is in you is greater than him (Luke 22:42, John 12:24).

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank you for your redeeming Grace, and Divine protection; even in trying times, for this makes me trimphantly victorious, as an Overcomer in Christ Jesus;

Amen.

From Luke 22:53

AVOID PHYSICAL VIOLENCE

God's Kingdom never promotes physical violence; rather, it encourages patience and peaceful co-existence, because it's not of this world. Although, it's existing on the surface of the Earth as the church; still, it is established in love for the unity of brethren in the Body of Christ, which pleases the LORD (Psalm 133:1).

Therefore, as Heirs of the Father, we should always remain Peacemakers, no matter the situation we find ourselves; discouraging physical violence as ambassadors of Christ, graced with enduring heart's - placing our challenges before the LORD in prayers, for vengeance belongs to Him, and we will ever remain triumphantly victorious; over the rulers of darkness and spiritual host of wickedness in Jesus' name (Psalm 94:1, Matthew 5:9, Ephesians 6:12).

PRAYER: Thank you LORD, Jesus Christ - the Prince of Peace; for your presence in my life, as made me an ambassadors of Peace, being graced with an enduring Spirit to overcome every violence - influenced by the kingdom of darkness, with Your unconditional love dwelling in my heart,

Amen.

From Luke 22:49-51

KISS OF BETRAYAL

The betrayal of a loved one only manifest what had been lurking in his heart - exposing his true nature and pretense towards another. Though, he might have been showing false love; yet, it's only for selfish reasons, which ends up hurting others who truly love him.

Furthermore, every betrayal usually comes as a wolf in sheep clothing; seeing another as a prey to feast on - having been influenced by the devil, through his selfish desires for lustful gain. So, let's strengthen our faith in God through His Word, which reveals His Truth and Love, compassionately to all, that our hearts may not fail; whenever we are being betrayed because "faithful are the words of friend but the kiss of an enemy are deceitful (Proverbs 27:6).

PRAYER: In Jesus' name, thank you Heavenly Father, for the grace and strength to overcome, through Your Word and the manifestation of the Holy Spirit who lives in me,

Amen.

From Luke 22:48.
