Cinque anni trascorsi a conoscerci sempre di più e a gettare delle salde fondamenta in Cristo ♡ Ringraziamo Dio dell'amore, delle sfide, delle risate, dei pianti e dell'ispirazione per le tante attività che abbiamo passato!
Quest'anno abbiamo preferito festeggiarlo solo tra di noi, a ricordare gli anni passati e ad incoraggiarci a vicenda per ciò che verrà.
Ma non temete, appena si potrà stay tuned che ritorneremo ad invitarvi personalmente in eventi per conoscere Dio con noi ♡

9
Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
10
If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
11
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
12
Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

-Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

As Christians we are all individuals, with our own God-given tasks and responsibilities, but we are one body that is called to live and work in partnership with one another, which is much more productive and profitable than toiling alone.

God uses members of Christ's body to compliment the gifts and graces of other brothers and sisters and to offer encouragement and support. When Christ sent his disciples out to minister to the lost sheep of the house of Israel they were sent two by two - "for two are better than one because they have a good return for their labour... and the two men on the road to Emmaus is another reminder that during times of discouragement and pain, God always provides the support we need.

Shared successes and shared sorrows not only gives greater encouragement and is edifying, it is how we are called to live in this world by our heavenly Father. May we work together for the furtherance of the gospel and work the works of God, in the unity of the Spirit, while it is still day.

«Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.»
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭9:7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

3 great reasons to be a cheerful giver :

- Because everything you have was given to you freely by God 🙏🏻

In Matthew 10:8, Jesus is seen saying, “Freely you have received; freely give.”

Psalm 68:19 also says, “Daily, He loadeth us with benefits!”

- Because giving results in blessings🙏🏻

“Give and it shall be given unto you…” (Luke 6:38).

Malachi 3:10 also says, “Test me on this,” the Lord says, “and see if I will not open for you the windows of Heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows!”

Proverbs 22:9 adds, “He who is generous shall be blessed.”

- To emulate God, expecting nothing in return👆🏻

Being a Christian means to be like Christ, to do the things He did, to follow in His footsteps. Giving, expecting nothing back, is a great way to be Christlike.🙌🏼

In Luke 6:34, Jesus says, “If you give to those whom you expect to pay you back, what credit is that to you? Lost people do that! But love your enemies, and do good and lend to them, expecting nothing in return.”

Remember God’s promise to the giver.
Jesus tells us, “give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap” (Luke 6:38).
This does not mean that God will always financially bless those who give, but if we make Him a priority, He will take care of us.💕

God’s gifts are meant not only to bless us, but for us to use to bless others 🥰(1 Peter 4:10).

To give grudgingly or not at all is a sign of a heart issue—that we value money, comfort, and security more than the Kingdom of God.
It is only when we learn to give ourselves to Christ that we can cheerfully give to support His purpose. 🙌🏼
If we find giving money to God’s work difficult, we probably haven’t given our heart, either.‼️

«For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.»
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭8:9‬ ‭

Paul had been commenting positively on the good works that were being carried out by the Corinthian believers - and the motive behind the generous things they were doing. Perhaps it was to stem the possibility of unfounded pride in their own generosity or to encourage an explosion of grace within this Christian community that

Paul began to draw a stark and astonishing comparison with the great and generous grace that God had bountifully poured out upon all humanity through our Lord Jesus Christ – for though He was rich beyond all measure, yet for our sakes He became poor, so that by His poverty He could make us rich, beyond our wildest imaginings.‼️

What Love! ❤️ What Grace! ❤️ What a God! ❤️

In His perfect divinity and divine nature dwelt all the fullness of the Triune Godhead and in Whom resided all the glorious, infinite, eternal attributes of God in all their fullest measure. Our minds cannot conceive of the infinite riches of the eternal Son of God, in the majesty of His pre-cross existence.🙌🏼

All things were made by Him – all the riches of the earth and the wealth of sky - the treasures of the oceans and the bountiful resources of the vast universe - all things were made by Him and all things were made for Him. 🙌🏼
All these unimaginable riches and the glories of His elevated heavenly status were laid aside simply because of His GRACE towards us. 😭❤️🙏🏻
All the inconceivable and vast riches of His glory were set aside for your sake and for mine and He stripped Himself of everything - becoming so poor that He did not even have a place to rest His head.

He was born into a human race that had rebelled against their creator - He came into a fallen world that was lying in the evil one - a world that was in bo***ge to the evil governance of Satan (a created being who rebelled against His Creator God)… and the Son of God did all this for love of you and for love of me - so that by His deep poverty we might become rich.🙏🏻❤️

What Love! ❤️What Grace! ❤️What a God! ❤️

«And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.»
‭‭Romans‬ ‭13:11‬ ‭

What a lovely picture of the weary soul, rousing-up to meet morning's freshness, as the first-flush of the sunlight's golden beauty pierces the morning curtain, drawing us back into consciousness, that day has arrived, and we must wake-up from our slumber and make ready for the duties of the day. 🙏🏻
What a meaningful metaphor that we are moving nearer to the end of this life's dark night, where we will throw off this tent of flesh and be clothed in our new, glorified, resurrection bodies - and so we shall ever be with the Lord Jesus for the rest of time and throughout all eternity.💪🏻

The apostle Paul has taken us on the most magnificent journey of God's story of redemption in this book of Romans.

He revealed the glorious hope of salvation for all who believe in the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus, the wonderful doctrines of justification by faith, our ongoing sanctification by faith and the ultimate end this mortal round on earth, which is our glorification - by faith in the Son of God, Who loved us and gave Himself for us.💯

Paul explains the wonder of our identification with Christ and His precious identification with us.. and he reveals God's wisdom in setting aside the nation of Israel for a season and His ultimate will and purpose as it relates to both Israel and the church. And then Paul reminds us that because we are in the last days.. it is high time to awake out of our slumbering sleep: knowing that our ultimate and finalised Salvation.. which will be consummated when we are glorified with Christ - is nearer than when we first believed.‼️

What precious encouragement to all His children that the promise of our blessed hope, on which our hearts have been focused throughout our Christian life, is nearer than the day when we first trusted in Jesus as Saviour, and that with each passing day we are moving ever closer to His any-day return. ‼️
Let us joyfully embrace these revitalising words of Paul and rouse ourselves from any spiritual slumber into which we may have drifted and become alert and ready and watching and waiting - and let us seek to use the time we have left.. wisely. 🙏🏻

«For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.»
‭‭John‬ ‭3:17‬ ‭

So many believers are living under condemnation. So many see God as an angry God with a big stick, watching our every movement with a frown on His face - waiting in anticipation for us to do something wrong, so that He can punish us.

If only believers would take what the word of God says literally and BELIEVE what it says - so many would not be living their lives under condemnation but would be rejoicing in the Lord...for God did NOT send His Son into the world in order to condemn the world, but to SAVE the world - through Christ.‼️

It was out of love and not cruelty that God sent His only begotten Son into the world to die for the sin of the world - and once a sinner believes this simple truth he is immediately saved and is NOT condemned. But how many believers continue to live the life under condemnation - simply because they do not read God's word or believe what they read.

Let us read, mark, learn and inwardly digest God's Word - and then believe what He says.‼️🙏🏻

«Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.»
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:8-9‬ ‭

Peter calls on his readers to have a certain attitude all the time.
They are to be sober and alert. ‼️💯
Sobriety refers to their way of thinking and alertness describes their concern about possible dangers. Such sobriety and alertness can co-exist together. We would expect a soldier on guard duty to be serious as well as alert. And we are always on guard duty in a sense because we have to protect ourselves from the enemy of our souls.

If a Christian is marked by sobriety and alertness, he will not fall, no matter how fierce the devil’s opposition becomes.💪🏻

Christians are in a war, and a war situation demands a particular strategy, which is to keep a clear head and to look for potential attacks.‼️

The fact that each of us has to face is that our adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.‼️

Peter calls on his readers to show spiritual courage, to resist his attacks by being firm in the faith, to put the full armor of God ‼️

So there are many reasons for being confident when under threat from the devil. His roaring cannot harm us and eventually Jesus will reveal that he has already won the victory over all his enemies. 🙏🏻💪🏻

If we keep our heads with regard to the roars and watch carefully for signs of his advance, we will discover that he has provided what we need to resist the attacks of the devil.🙏🏻💪🏻

«Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.»
‭‭-Ephesians‬ ‭6:10-12‬ ‭

We may forget at times but one thing is true - this world is a battlefield. ‼️
Day by day, hour by hour, we face a spiritual war and an enemy who’s real. He wants nothing more than to bring defeat, for his main aim is to steal, kill, and destroy.‼️

God has a plan for our lives. The enemy has a plan for us too. We just have to decide which voice we’re going to listen to, and who we're going to choose to follow each day.
And chances are, if we don't make a determined choice to follow God, we may eventually fall into the evil one’s trap.

God has given us his Word and Spirit, powerful and true, so we'll have the wisdom and protection to stand against the enemy. 💪🏻🙏🏻

We focus today on putting on His armor, staying alert, and praying that God will equip believers everywhere to "stand strong."✊🏻
