The Savior Is Born Who Is Christ The Lord

Did you know when Israel were under the tyranny of Rome? 
Things were very dark, long silence from heaven, 
no prophets can be found, no visions from God. 
Four centuries had passed, "400 silent years," (that is what 
they often called) 

Then suddenly the promised of the coming Messiah came!

(Isaiah 9:2)

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the

government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  (v.6)

The Power Of Prayer

Prayer is a powerful weapon. It can reached God's ears and 
soften His hearts. It can change the course of events. 
Like the example of King Hezekiah, king of Judah. 
One day God told Him through Isaiah that He will not recover from
his illness. Instead of giving up he prayed and asked God to remember 
how he walked faithfully before Him. (Isaiah 38:1-6)
What is God's response to Him? God changed his mind and sent Isaiah 
back to tell him that he will recover from his illness and God added 15 years 
to his life. That is how God works is...through PRAYERS. 

And also in James 5:16 said, "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."

I pray that this message may give us encouragement in this time of needs 
as we are facing difficult times ahead.

The One And Only True God

To those who are dealings with worshiping idols; Hear and listen to what God
said about this issue:

(Isaiah 44:16-20)
Half of the wood he burns in the fire; over it he prepares his meal,
   he roasts his meat and eats his fill. He also warms himself and says,
   "Ah! I am warm; I see the fire." From the rest he makes a god,
    his idol; he bows down to it and worship. He prays to it and says,
   "Save me! You are my god!"
They know nothing, they understand nothing, their eyes are plastered
over so they cannot see, and their minds closed so they cannot understand.
No one stops to think, no one has the knowledge or understanding to say,
"Half of it I used for fuel; I even baked bread over its coals, I roasted
 meat and I ate. Shall I make a detestable thing from what is left?
 Shall I bow down to a block of wood?"
 Such a person feeds on ashes; a deluded heart misleads him;
 he cannot save himself, or say, "Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?"

Is not God in the heights of heaven? And see how lofty are the highest stars!
Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and
calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing.  (Job 22:12) (Isa.40:25-26)

The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. 
(Isa.40:28)

"To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal? says the Holy One. 
  (v.25)

I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God. (Isa.44:6,8)
Is there any God besides me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.

I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise
to idols. (Isa.42:8)

For God is a consuming fire, a jealous God, He wanted us to worship Him only.
(Deuteronomy 4:24)


 

A Grateful Heart!

What are the things we have reminded of the goodness of the Lord?
I thank God for His merciful and the salvation I received.
Is a celebration of his goodness, freedom and the many blessings to me
and to you! As this Scriptures said in Psalms 116:12-14


What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord. 
I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. 

Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, 
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (23:6)

Thankful and grateful for God as this Scripture said,
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. (Isaiah 61:10)

 

                                                   THANK YOU JESUS!

Whom shall I Fear?

Psalms 27:1

The Lord is my light and my salvation--whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid?
Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though 
war break out against me, even then I will be confident. (v.3)

For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His dwelling;
He will hide me in the shelter of His sacred tent and set me
high upon the rock. Amen! (v.5)

Knowing God

A Full Joy in Knowing God!!!
I say to the Lord, "You are my Lord; apart from you 
I have no good thing."

You make known to me the path of life; you will fill 
me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures 
at your right hand. 
(Psalms 16:2,11)

If this is true for you. Let us continue to thank God and praise Him for his wonderful
works among us.
It is good to know that God is all we need. Our contentment in Life. Amen.

                                                           In The Presence Of Jehovah

Through our Darkest Hour

God often deals with us most when we are having our greatest troubles,
illnesses, disappointments and failures. It is God's nature to show himself 
"Holy" among us and reveal to us that there is nothing He can't do to
 help us in our struggles as we completely trust in Him in all things.
So that in Him He can show his wonderful works in our life, working
in all aspects of our lives so that our trust may be always in Him,
not in men or in the flawed things that this world has to offer.
And when that Day comes when God delivers us we can boast in Him
and exclaim, "TRULY THERE IS A GOD!"

Remember Moses when God called him to a mission, to speak To Pharaoh,
king of Egypt? to tell Pharaoh to let his people go (the Israelites).
Exodus 9:13-17

    "Let my people go, so that they may worship me, or this time I will send 
     the full force of my plagues against you and against your officials and 
     your people, SO YOU MAY KNOW THAT THERE IS NO ONE LIKE ME 
     IN ALL THE EARTH.
     For by now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your 
     people with a plague that would have wiped you off the earth.
    BUT I HAVE RAISED YOU UP FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE, THAT I
    MIGHT SHOW YOU MY POWER AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE
    PROCLAIMED IN ALL THE EARTH." 
          
Don't feel sorrowful when God deals with you. Take it as a blessing!
It helps to make us focus our attention on God. It makes us stronger in the days
to come when we are facing bigger troubles. In every battle we endure, our faith
builds up and grows even stronger!

Hear the words of  Charles Spurgeon from his devotional book entitled,
Beside Still Waters by Roy H. Clarke.

      "You may not understand this now, because it appears to you as if
       God's saints live in perpetual sunshine. Not so! Those that God highly
       honors will tell you quite another tale. God has a way of taking his
       children behind the door and showing them some of their abominations.
       Yet at the same time, He is showing them the beauties of Christ and
       enabling them to feed on Him."
