OUR CHRISTIAN CONDUCT DURING THIS ELECTION:

1. As a Christian and minister of the Lord, we represent CHRIST, NOT POLITICAL PARTY OR POLITICIAN. If you do not speak or act in wisdom, it will NOT reflect on the politician or the political party, it will reflect on CHRIST and THE CHURCH! Think about this when you start promoting your candidate.

2. Promote your candidate by sharing their merits, what they have done and what they can do, not by discrediting or destroying their opponents. It is not appropriate for us who claim to follow Christ to make other candidates look bad just to make our candidates look good.

3. Make sure that what you are saying are confirmed facts, not hearsay or fake news. Christians do not slander or casts slurs against others.

4. No matter who your candidate is, remember THEY ARE NOT PERFECT. They have flaws, failures and faults and can be corrupted with power and money. So, do not treat them like gods or goddesses that can do no wrong.

5. Politicians come and go, and Elections are temporary, your calling and ministry will go on after they serve their term. Do not destroy your relationship with other people, especially with fellow believers in Christ because of your politician or political party. We are called to put our minds on eternal things and not on temporary ones. (2 Corinthians 4:18)

6. Do not get embroiled in pointless debates and arguments that would diminish your witness and besmirch or destroy the name of Jesus. Whatever you do, protect the Name of your Lord and Savior and your church & ministry.

7. Make sure that your passion for your candidate does not exceed your passion for Christ. You owe your life and eternity to Christ. God redeemed you and called you by name, your candidate may not even know who you are. You owe nothing to your candidate.

8. Do everything with love as your motive. If you cannot do it out of love, don't do it!

9. Do not use your pulpit to campaign for your politician, it is your platform to preach Christ and Him Crucified. (1 Cor. 2.2)

THE LORD BLESS YOU

Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."
This verse has been an encouragement to so many because that tells us that Jesus is dependable, faithful, unwavering, unchangeable and just as present in our lives as He has been in the lives of those who have gone before us. If those who have gone before could trust in Him and rely on His promises so can we and so can our natural & spiritual children and those who believe and follow us. If those who have gone before us could find hope and peace in Him, then so can we have hope and peace in Him even in troubled times, and so can our natural and spiritual children and those who believe and follow us. If those who have gone before us have stood strong in the faith and succeeded by trusting clinging and trusting in the promises of God, so can we and our natural and spiritual children and those who believe and follow us. He is the Messiah, Saviour, deliverer, healer for those who have gone before us and for all people in each and every race and generations and that will never change my friend!

As Jesus left the house, two blind men began following him, shouting out over and over, “Son of David, show us mercy and heal us!” And they followed him right into the house where Jesus was staying. So Jesus asked them, “Do you believe that I have the power to restore sight to your eyes?” They replied, “Yes Lord, we believe!” Then Jesus put his hands over their eyes and said, “You will have what your faith expects!” And instantly their eyes opened—they could see! Then Jesus warned them sternly, “Make sure that you tell no one what just happened!” But unable to contain themselves, they went out and spread the news everywhere!Matt 9:27‭-‬31 TPT
In this passage we see Jesus heal two blind men. This was another condition that seem incurable, in fact, there was no record of anyone who was born blind ever being healed (John 9:32).
So Jesus asks the blind men a strange question, that you would think would be self-evident, in Matthew 9:28, ”Do you believe that I have the power to restore sight to your eyes?” Their deliverance to a great extent had to do with their faith and how they answered this question.
I think the answer is obvious and they had already proven this by coming after Jesus the way that they had, but Jesus wanted them to verbalize or express their faith or confidence in words. He wanted them to express a confession of their faith.
Their answer, “Yes, Lord.” Then Jesus touched their eyes and said, “Be it to you according to your faith!” Their faith was essential for their deliverance. A lack of faith can hinder the flow of God’s power (Mark 6:5). Their faith was that God is able…God is sufficient…Nothing is too difficult for God.

Here my words today,
GOD IS ABLE!
• …to save to the uttermost those who come to God by Him (Heb. 7:25).
• …to forgive all sins (Luke 5:21).
• …to open blind eyes…impossible, never happened (Mt. 9:28).
• …to cleanse the leper…incurable disease (Mark 1:40).
• …to provide water from a rock and manna from heaven.
• …to keep us and that which has been entrusted to us (II Tim. 1:12).
• …assist those who are tempted (Heb. 2:18).
• …to subdue all things to Himself (Phil. 3:20-21).
• …to make all grace abound to us (II Cor. 9:8).
• …to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Eph. 3:30).

What are you facing today? Does it seem impossible? Does it require a higher wisdom than your own? Whatever it may be, it may be too difficult for you, but nothing is too difficult for God. Seek Him today. Trust Him today. Believe Him today!

NOTHING BELONGS TO US!

We can die anytime and leave everything behind. Let's live every moment with those we love. ONLY WHATS DONE FOR CHRIST WILL LAST.

Friends, I came across this.. Pls read to know how precious our life moments here on earth ...
A man died...

When he realized it, he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in his hand.

Dialogue between God and Dead Man:

God: Alright son, it’s time to go

Man: So soon? I had a lot of plans...

God: I am sorry but, it’s time to go

Man: What do you have in that suitcase?

God: Your belongings

Man: My belongings? You mean my things... Clothes... money...

God: Those things were never yours, they belong to the Earth
Man: Is it my memories?

God: No. They belong to Time

Man: Is it my talent?

God: No. They belong to Circumstances

Man: Is it my friends and family?

God: No son. They belong to the Path & journey you travelled

Man: Is it my wife and children?
God: No. they belong to your Heart

Man: Then it must be my body

God: No No... It belongs to Dust

Man: Then surely it must be my Soul!

God: You are sadly mistaken son. Your Soul belongs to me.

Man: with tears in his eyes and full of fear took the suitcase from God's hand and opened it...

It was Empty...
With heartbroken and tears down his cheek he asks God...

Man: I never owned anything?

God: That’s Right. You never owned anything.
Man: Then? What was mine?

God: your MOMENTS.
Every moment you lived was yours.

Do Good in every moment
Let God lead every moment
Thank God for every moment
Life is just a Moment.

Live it...
Love it...
Enjoy it...
(Live a life to the fullest with Jesus- serve him while we are here on earth).

1 Peter 5:7, “Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.”
I find much comfort in verse, as we live in uncertain and uncomfortable times.. Too many restrictions, and vaccination started, yet accordingly many more are getting sick and hospitals are filled up. Unfortunately, it's physically, mentally & emotionally depressing, distressing and burdensome to many which is not healthy for us...
God, our heavenly Father is always available to take care of the things that we cannot handle. He has broad shoulders and can carry much more than we can. So, Abba Father says as did Jesus, that we cast all of our cares upon Him. Jesus said, “Come to me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Whatever things that concern a child of God, whether they be spiritual or temporal, whether great or small, God concerns Himself with them; what affects them affects Him; in all their afflictions He is afflicted. He who knows that God cares for him, need have no anxious cares about himself.
When we cast our cares on God, we are actually casting them into the arms of someone who cares very much about what concerns us and Who is willing to help us. Peter reminds us that “He cares about us.” This implies that you and I matter to Him and everything that matters to you and me matters to Him. The LORD is our helper for whatever we need today. May we Trust Him!

The 2nd letter of Peter, He warns us about false teachers and false prophets, false ministries, in sheep clothings in the last days. The Bible predicts that in the last days, deceivers and deception will greatly increased and there will be a great “falling away”, and a “strong delusion” in the world prior to the return of Jesus.(2 Th. 2:3,11). Have you ever wondered, if you or your friends and your loved ones will be one of those who will be deceived or fall away?
While there are those believed that they are eternally secured and they will never fall away, I believe in eternal security on obedience.
As we access what God has given to us - the grace of God, the power of the Holy Spirit and the promises of the word of God, 2 Peter 1:5-10 says; that we are to add to our experience of faith:
1. Moral Excellence (living morally pure and careful lives)
2. Knowledge (knowing the word of God, having a sharp sword)
3. Self-Control (not allowing passion of the flesh to drive us)
4. Patient Endurance (holding steady through the trials of life)
5. Godliness (living with the desire to please God)
6. Brotherly Affection (loving the Church and other members of the Body of Christ)
7. Love for Everyone (loving the lost and those who oppose the faith).
Peter says that if you do these things you will never fall. That is eternal security on obedience! Be blessed!
