Title: From ordinary to extraordinary

 

There is always the presence of Christ for the preparation of Christians. He is with us whether our lives are easy or difficult, or in between. Whether our faith is felt strongly, shaken, or in between, it never fails or abandons us. Jesus does not exist in the body, as He did for his disciples. But He is with us like us because He rules from heaven and is licensed by His spirit. Are we ready to admit these facts, ready to receive what He gives, and ready to witness His constant preparations?

There are three truths in order to experience an extraordinary move of God.

In order to experience extra-ordinary, first is that we need to always depend on God. In John 15:5, it says that we have to always connect to God in everything we do for a fruitful life. We must always connect our mind and heart to God to experience victorious and fruitful living. Even with our plans in our life, we must commit and submit to God for He says that “apart from Him, we can do nothing”. God wants us to depend on Him. He will never grow tired of our dependence. God would rather for us to go to Him first instead of waiting until we have exhausted all other possibilities.

Secondly, walking alone with Jesus. Let us walk together with the presence of our Lord in everything we do and plan to do. The person who has Christ abiding in him or her bears “much fruit.” Let us take time to walk alone with Jesus every day. Listen to His voice, meditate on His Word, and pour out heartfelt prayers before His throne of mercy and grace. Become empowered to accomplish great good for our Lord.

Third, we must have an ultimate goal of having fellowship with Jesus through His word. In John 21: 12-13 states that no one from His disciples asked Jesus for who He was for they already know that He is the Lord. They were so lucky that they had experienced face-face fellowship with the Lord. And now, we can only connect with Him through our daily devotions by reading and meditating on His words.

 Fruitfulness depends completely on fellowship with Christ. Believers must have a fruitful relationship with their divine source in order to produce eternity. Branches alone cannot bear fruit. It needs a vine. God owns all resources we needed. The vine makes what is drawn from the vine. We must realize that we are not enough on our own. There is a danger of self-sufficiency. The principle Jesus teaches here is that we cannot show anything to God without relying on Christ because once again “apart from Him we are nothing”. No one has the ability to do anything for God on their own.

When you put what is in your hand into his hand, He will discover that it will perform miracles and bring about growth. Perhaps he will return you the ordinary "wand" you gave up-but this time it will be filled with extraordinary power to change your life and the world. Go and make disciples of God. Share the good news that in Him your ordinary life would change it into extraordinary.

God bless His words, His chosen messenger through the life of Sister Rose P. Marayag. God bless the readers, listeners, and doers of His words.

Without repentance, we act as if we have a right to something. Repentance recognizes and confesses our moral bankruptcy and changes direction. “When sinners turn from their sin and come home to God, God is glad.” What’s different about the parable of the lost son is that the misery of his lostness is spelled out, the nature of his repentance is spelled out, and the wasteful eagerness of the father is spelled out more fully than in the other two parables. When we break our attachment with God, we will end up attached to another, and that attachment will be slavery, not sonship. Coming to yourself” as well as coming to God. It is discovering where you came from and who you are and why you exist. Running from God is always running from ourselves. Repentance is waking up to this truth. What are the reasons w

  Title: The Necessity of Believing! Text: James 1:6-8 Exhorter: Sister Nancy D. Macatbag   “But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.” – James 1:6 When we say necessity, it means it is a requirement or essential. Just like a profession such as a carpenter who needs meter measurement and hammer for him to be able to do his job well. Likewise, as a Christian, follower, and servant of the Lord in the ministry He has entrusted in us, here are some of the reasons why there are necessities of believing in God. Believe in what He said in His word. In Isaiah 55:11, our God desires is that people will come to Him and be restored back into His grace and favor. He longs to bestow His righteous blessings upon His people, (obedient followers and servants of the Lord especially, those who are not yet in His presence). Our prayers have their own timetable. God knows everything we are experiencing

  Text: Deuteronomy 28:12 Exhorter: Sister Elizabeth Logan Deuteronomy 28:12 NIV “The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.” Deuteronomy 30:9-10 NIV “Then the LORD your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land. The LORD will again delight in you and make you prosperous, just as he delighted in your fathers, if you obey the LORD your God and keep his commands and decrees that are written in this Book of the Law and turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” The Bible is full of God's promises and reminders of God's faithfulness. When things get hard, it's easy to focus on yourself and your hardships. The Chosen messenger through the life of Sister Elizabeth Logan taught us these three (3)
