GOD REMEMBER YOUR SINS NO MORE

“… Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” (Hebrew 10: 17)

I don’t know how about you, but I would say that (Hebrews 10: 17) is good news. God see all our sins – past, present and future – and says, “Your sins I remember no more!”
The words “no more” are a strong double negative in the original Greek text. In other words, God is saying, “Your sins I will by no means ever remember!”
Has God lowed His standard? No, He is still perfectly holy. He did remember all our sins – 2000 year ago at the cross. Every sin which we have commited or will commit has been punished to the full in the body of Jesus Christ at the cross. That is why today, God remember our sins no more. We should, therefore, not be sin – coscious.
Each time we fall into sin, God wants us to remember the cross and say, “Lord Jesus, you were sentenced for this sin I commited. You bore the judgment, so God will not judge me for this sin. You were condemned for this sin, so God will not condemn me for it.”
If you don’t look to the cross, you will become sin – conscious and you will walk around with a certain expectation of judgment. And that expectation of judgment will give the devil a chance to get you thinking that God has something againts you because of your sin.
You must come to the place where you know and believe that all your sins are forgiven, that there is no sin that will ever disqualify you from God’s blessing, that there is no sin that will ever send you to hell, because you are forgiven and saved eternally.
(Hebrews 10: 12, 14) says, “But this Man [Jesus], after He had offerd one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God… For by one offering He has perfected forever…”
You and I are perfected forever because of Jesus’ perfect work
On the cross. We are perfected by God full acceptance and perfect delight in His Son’s work that has so glorified His loliness.
Belove, hear God say to you, “I will be merciful. Your sins and lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
Shalom!

CHRIST IS THE TREASURE IN YOU

2 Corinthians 4:7
The verse tells us that we have “this treasure” in earthen vessels. Who is the treasure? Christ! Who are the earthen vessels here? You and I! Thank God the treasure is in the earthen vessels.

My friend, Christ the treasure is in you. So don’t get frustrated when you see your “earthiness”. You will always be “earthen “as long as you are in your mortal body, but remember that Christ the treasure is in you.

Should you lose your cool with your spouse or children, remember that Christ in you is your patience. When I feel impatient, I don’t pray, “Lord Jesus, give me patience… now! “No ,I look to Jesus and I say,” Lord Jesus, I thank You that You are my patience”.

In my younger days and even when I first got married, I had a bad temper. I tried all sorts of anger and management techniques, but I never got very far until I told God, “God, I am so frutrated trying to overcome my anger. I give up! I cannot. You can. I rest and depend on You.” Not too long after that, my wife commented, “ You know, you have improved in the area of your temper.”

I thought about what she had said and realized that I was not even conscious of the change in me. When family members can see the patience of Christ mani- festing through a naturally impatient person, God gets the glory.

Perhaps you are frustrated with your smoking and drinking habits.

Or maybe you are discouraged by your feelings of jealousy, distrust, bitterness, depression and defeat. Don’t condemn yourself for being earthen. Don’t try to “cast out” your earthiness. Just realize that you have Christ the treasure in you.

The more you see that treasure in you , the more Christ “sbrilliance shines forth in you. And in the midst of your earthiness, God gets the glory as you yourself are transformed from glory to glory!

(2 corinthians 3:18)

SỰ CÔNG CHÍNH ĐỜI ĐỜI

Bảy mươi tuần đã ấn định cho dân và thành thánh của ngươi để chấm dứt sự vi phạm, diệt trừ tội lỗi, xóa bỏ tội ác, để thiết lập sự công chính đời…
Đaniên 9: 24

Ngày chủ nhật bạn nghe sứ điệp nói rằng, “Tôi là sự công chính của Đức Chúa Trời trong Chúa Giêxu”. Ngày thứ hai, chúng ta vẫn công bố, “Tôi là sự công chính của Đức Chúa Trời trong Chúa Giêxu” nhưng đến thứ tư hay thứ năm chúng ta bắt đầu công bố tội lỗi chúng ta!, sau đó ngày chủ nhật đến chúng ta làm mới lại bằng việc công bố chúng ta là sự công chính của Đức Chúa Trời trong Chúa Giêxu.
Tại sao chúng ta phải làm như vậy?
Không thể là ngày chủ nhật chúng ta công chính, vài ngày sau chúng ta trở nên không công chính vì tội lỗi chúng ta và rồi ngày chủ nhật đến chúng ta lại được công chính trở lại.
Không, sự công chính bạn có đó là một “sự công chính đời đời” Chúa đã chuộc tội đời đời cho chúng ta.
(Hêbơrơ 9: 12)
Chúa muốn bạn thiết lập trong công việc mà Chúa Giêxu đã làm cho bạn. Ngài muốn bạn tập chú vào, ‘Bạn là sự công chính đời đời trong Chúa Giêxu Christ”
Khi bạn tập chú vào món quà là sự công chính, bạn sẽ thống trị đời sống bội phần hơn. (Rôma 5: 17)
Bạn sẽ thống trị trên tội lỗi, thói quen xấu, bệnh tật, thiếu thốn và bất cứ điều gì khống chế không đem sự chiến thắng cho bạn.

WORSHIP GOD AS YOU ARE

That He might present her to Himself a glorious Church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.
Ephesians 5: 27

Have you been to a worship service where you stood with your hands raised, ready to worship God, only to hear the worship leader say, “Before we worship God, let’s all seach our hearts”? Then, as you seach your heart, before long, you dig up something that you don’t like. The next thing you know, your hands are no longer raised and soon, you find yourself sitting down-you don’t fell good worshiping God any more.
My friend, I have good news for you. Come and worship Him as you are. Come into God’s presence bringing only Jesus the spotles Lamb of God as your offering.
Your worshiping God is like the time God’s people in the Old Testament brought their offering to the priest. The priest examined the animal sacrifice to ensure that it was without blemish. The priest did not examined the siner. If the animal was without blemish, God accepted the animal sacrifice as well as the offerer who brought the animal.
So, when you come to God, s presence, don,t do any self-examination and be didcouraged when you find faults in your life. God does not examine you. He sees you through the full value, and all the loveliness and acceptance of His Son. (Ephesians 1: 6) He see you holy and without blemish!
Remember the woman who was referred to as a sinner, possiple a prostitu? She went to the house of the Pharisee who was hosting Jesus and wiped Jesus’feet with her hair. (Luke 7: 36-50) That was her act of worship.
She came to Him as she was. Yes, she knew that she had sined, but she worship Jesus first because of who He is. She was Jesus’s conscious. Then, she heard Jesus say, “Your sins are forgiven.” (Luke 7: 48) She received the forgiveness she need from Him.
Whatever you need from the Savior, come to Him as you are. Worship Him for who He is and then you will hear
Him say, “Go your way. Your restoration has come. Your prosperrity is here. You are healed. You have been made whole.
Shalom.

Superabundant supply in your Area of lack

And my God shall supply all need according to
His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19

Are you facing a lack in any area of your life, be it finances, health or relationships? Know that in that very same area, God has alrealy prepared. His superabundant supply which will abound toward you, and on top of that, His grace and of more of His grace!

In John 6:1-13, Jesus was with a large crowd of people who were hungry. The problem then was a lack of food. But Jeus knew that where there is lack , there is superabundant supply in His Father’s kingdom to overcome that lack.

His disciples, however, did not know that. They did not think the same way as Jesus did. They told Him that there was a boy with five loaves and two small fish, but they did not think that that would amount to anything. They said, “what are the five loaves and two fish among so many?”(John 6:9)

They saw only the problem, the lack. But Jesus took the little, lifted it up as He looked to heaven and gave thanks to His Father, whose supply is so much more than we can ever ask for.

When Jesus started distributing the little that was in His hands, a miracle happened. Five thousand men, not counting women and children ate as much as they wanted and for as long as they were hungry!

The supply kept flowing as long as the need was there. And after they were so filled, there were 12 baskets full of leftovers! That is God’s superabundant supply. In God’s kingdom , there is no such thing as the Father not having enough or not wanting to give abundantly to His children. No, he promises that He will supply all our needs according to His risches in glory by Christ Jesus!

My friend, God wants us to always be conscious of His grace abounding toward us and enveloping us. So let us, like Jeus, acknowledge God’s supera-bundat supply by thanking Him for it and for whatever is in our hands. Let us believe that His superabundat supply will flow and multiply the little that we have, and fill us up to overflowing!
Shalom

The Sure Symbol Of God’s Love

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8

Imagine this scenario:your car tire blows and you are late for work. At the office, you find out that someone else got the promotion you had been hoping for. Then, you receive a call from home informing you that your kitchen pipes are leaking again. Before long, you hear a voice telling you, “If God loves you so much, how come all these thing are happening to you?”

Perhaps you are asking the same question today and wondering if God really loves you. Well, I want you to know that you must never judge God’s love for you based on your circumstances. No, look at the coss instead! The cross is the sure symbol of God’s love for you. It is at the cross that “ God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

A teenager learn that the cross indeed spoke of how much God loves her. At one point in her life, she was contemplating suicide as the only way out of her loveless, messed-up life. She had intended to take some pills with a lethal does of alcohol. She was all ready to die when she started clicking aimlessly on some MP3 songs on the Internet. And of all the songs that were on her screen, she picked a beautiful song written by one of our church musicians.

The lyrics of the song, sung by one of our church vocalists,spoke of being held by God’s love and being treasured in His sight. They touched this teenager. Sensing that an awesome God with His amazing love was reaching out to her, she abandoned her phan to kill herself. Not long after that, she found our church and even met the person who had sung the song. She eventually came to know how much God loves her and how He has demonstrated His love for her through the cross.

Beloved, when you look at your life and find yourself wondering if God really loves you, look to the cross and see God’s outstretched arms. It will remind and reassure you of how much He loves you!

God wants you cross- conscious

For I determined not to know anything among you excep Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
I Corinthians 2:2

The apostle Paul , in his letter to the corinthian church , said that he determined to know nothing among them axcept “Jesus Christ and Him crucified”. In other words, Paul, who wrote two-thirds of the New Testament, had his mind full of Jesus and His finished work.

Beloved, God wants your mind full of the cross of Jesus. He wants you cross-concious.

But what does it mean to be cross-consious?

To be cross- conscious is to see Jesus, who loves you so much that He willingly died for you on the cross. To be cross-concsious is to look to Jesus, who offered His own body to be punished, so that your body can be free from all punishment.

To be cross-conscious is to fix your eyes on Jesus, who has provided for your deliverance and victory at the cross. At the cross , all your enemies were vanquished.
All your diseases were destroyed.your poverty was removed at the cross. Your sins were wiped out at the cross.

When the Israelites tasted bitterness in the waters of Marah, God showed Moses a tree, which he cast into the water, making them sweet.(Exodus 15:23-26) The tree represents the cross, which turned the bitter waters sweet. Today , Calvary’s tree has turned your bitter situations sweet. Because of the cross, you can expect to see the bitter situation in your life made sweet!

When the Israelites were bitten by serpents in the wilderness, God told Moses to put a bronze serpent on a pole. The pole represents the cross and bronze speaks of judgment. Those who beheld the serpent on the pole lived because they saw their problem- the deadly serpent-nailed and put to death on the cross.(Numbers 21:6-9).

Today, you too will not die but live when you see all your sins judged at the cross, and with them, all your sicknesses, pains, failures and defeats! At the cross, all that is deadly in your life has been removed!

The teacher of all things is in you

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the father will send in my name, He will teach you all things…
John 14:26
If you are asking whom or where you can go to to get the help you need, ask no more. Just turn to God who has already promised you the Helper, the Holy Spirit whom
He has sent in Jesus’ name to dwell in you.

The Holy spirit will teach you all things. Yes, teach you all thinngs! Do you really believe that ? or are you like some who believe that you seek God’s counsel only for spiritual things, but consult “professional” help for all other thing in your life?

God does not want you to run to and rely on wordly wisdom. Now, there is nothing wrong with going to a doctor or engaging a financial consultant, but God wants you to come to Him first for counsel and direction. That is why he has sent the Holy spirit, the Counselor
( John 16:7, NIV), to teach you all things. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth and He will guide you into all truth.(John 16:13)

The apostle John said, “but you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things… the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things …”
(1 John 2:20,27)

So the way God teaches you is through the anointing within, it is a continous anointing. In any particular situation, He is anointing you from within, teaching you by the presence or absence of His peace.

For example, a deal you are considering may sound very reasonable. But if you don’t have the peace in your spirit , don’t sign on the dotted line.sign only when you have the peace. Be led by His peace and you will find that your heart will not be troubled, neither will it be afraid.
( John 14:27)

When you follow that peace which only God can give to you as an inward witness, good things and even miracles will come forth!
Shalom

God is for you, not against you

What than shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8: 31

Are you faced with challenges in your life right now? Are you having marrital problems and financial woes? Maybe your child is going astray or an old illness has returned. What then will you say to these things?
Do you know what God want you to say? He want you to say, “ If God is for me, who can be against me?”
If you knew that the president or the Prime Minister was for you, you might believe that everything will be okey. But you have an even better backing! The Bible tells us that God, the Almighty, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, is for you! What problem can fasten its grip on you when the Almighty God is for you? Can the devil come successfully against you with God on your side?
If God is for you today, if God is for you right now, you don’t to moan, “If only I had this…If only I didn’t say that…” and you don’t have to worry about the future: “What if this happens…what if you don’t have enough…” My friend, regretting the past and worrying about the future won’t change anything. Look to your heavenly Father, instead. Because He is for you at this present moment, you can be confident that He will help you and provide for you.
Beloved, God sent His Son to died for you. And Jesus gave you a blood bought right to an abundant life full of meaning and purpose! He gave you a blood bought right to walk in divine heath all the days of your life! He gave you a blood bought right to prosperity even when the economy goes down!
You have all these things not because you deserve them, but because Jesus shed His Blood and gave you the right to have them. All these blessings are your today because God is for you! And if God is for you, who can be against you.
Shalom

ĐỂ MẮT NƠI LỜI KHÔNG THAY ĐỔI CỦA

Và Đức Chúa Trời của tôi sẽ cung cấp đầy đủ mọi nhu cầu cho anh chị em theo như sự giàu có vinh quang của Ngài trong Chúa Cứu Thế Giêxu. Philip 4: 19

Thế gian cảm thấy thất vọng vì các hệ thống của thế giới không ổn định lúc lên lúc xuống. Họ bật tivi và nghe “cuộc chiến này sẽ dẫn đến tình trạng suy thoái toàn cầu”
Họ mở tờ báo ra và đọc thấy rằng “tình trạng thất nghiệp trong nước đã lên đến đỉnh điểm rồi”
Bạn thân mến, Đức Chúa Trời không muốn bạn cảm thấy thất vọng bởi vì bạn không thuộc về thế gian nầy. (Giăng 17: 16) bạn thuộc về Chúa, thuộc về Vương Quốc của Đức Chúa Trời, do đó bạn không cần phải lệ thuộc vào hệ thống của thế gian này. Dù hoàn cảnh của thế giới thế nào, đừng sợ bởi vì “Đức Chúa Trời sẽ cung cấp đầy đủ mọi nhu cầu cho anh chị em theo như sự giàu có vinh quang của Ngài trong Chúa Cứu Thế Giêxu.”
Chú ý rằng Philíp 4: 19 nói rằng “Đức Chúa Trời sẽ cung cấp đầy đủ mọi nhu cầu”. Kinh Thánh không nói rằng Đức Chúa Trời có thể cung ứng một vài nhu cầu. Lời Chúa cũng nói rằng Ngài ban cho “theo sự giàu có của Ngài”. Nếu một tỉ phú cho bạn một trăm đô la thì đó không phải là theo sự giàu có của ông, theo sự giàu có của ông thì ông sẽ cho bạn hàng trăm triệu đô.
Cuối câu Kinh Thánh Lời Chúa nói rằng “theo như sự giàu có vinh quang”, không phải theo sự giàu có của công ty bạn hay theo công việc đang tốt của công ty bạn. Không, theo sự giàu có vinh quang của Ngài!
Tập chú vào Lời không bao giờ thay đổi của Ngài, đừng tập chú vào hệ thống của thế giới nầy, đừng đặt đức tin nơi hoàn cảnh, con người. Hãy đặt đức tin nơi Lời không bao giờ thay đổi của Ngài.
Shalom
