Understand the "More Than" July30

Understand the “More Than”

“And He said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well. . .” [Mk.5:34].

Was it just the woman’s faith that brought healing?

Not really, because it was God’s power and her faith combined that made her well.

“. . . If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” [Mk.5:28, NKJV].

“Immediately the fountain of her blood was dries up . . .” [Mk.5:29, NKJV].

“And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him . . .” [Mk.5:30, NKJV].

At the very precise moment God intended, she became the “more than”___

A person combining faith, Holy Spirit and action to reach a specific goal.

Respecter of Effort July29

Respecter of Effort

“Then Peter opened his mouth and said: In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.”  [Acts 10:34, NKJV].

So God is not a respecter of persons in that He may favor someone. He somehow does not show partiality.

On the other hand:

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” [Eph.2:10, NKJV].

God does respect our efforts, our actions for the Kingdom sake.

The Shock July 27

The Shock

Can you imagine the shock of that person who lives a cold, indifferent, careless Christian agenda, wakes one day inside God’s glory where all is service to Jehovah?

“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot . . . so then because you are lukewarm . . . I will spew you out of my mouth.” [Rev. 3:15-16, NKJV].

Types of Believers July 26

Types of Believers

There are many kinds of motivations to follow Jesus.

1). Flag-wavers: those who want to use Jesus as political and revolutionary leader.

2). Sensationalists: sought Jesus like slowly driving by and gazing at a car accident.

3.) Self-interests: these jump on the success of popularity.

4.) Truth seekers: those who truly seek the Spirit of Christ.

“Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” [Mt.16.24, NKJV]. 

God's Unchanging Promise July25

God’s Unchanging Promise

 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you.” [1Peter1:3-4, NKJV].

God has established an irrevocable commitment. He has conquered all time for all time for every one of us.

The Finisher July24

The Finisher

“And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship, in breaking of bread, and in prayers.” [Acts 2:42, NKJV].

God’s purpose on earth is not just to save souls, but to save lives.

He doesn’t start something in a life and not be able to finish it.
