In the beginning of this year, we sensed the Lord telling us about a new era and a new season He is bringing about in 2010. There is a supernatural shift that is already happening in the spiritual realm which we will see more clearly during these days.

The devil has tried to pull down the Church through different ways, but Christ is very active in building His Kingdom through His people. There is a new generation rising up who are not interested in religious activities but in the real presence and power of God.

These are days of revival around the world. The Lord is raising up a generation of courageous disciples who will stand with Him and rescue lives from the clutches of the enemy. Ephesians 5: 16 (CEV) says, “These are evil times, so make every minute count”. Consider every minute of your life as precious.

One major thing many churches have downplayed in the last season was on discipleship. Events and activities were on the forefront. Many came to Christian events. But there was meager consistent teaching of the whole truth of God’s Word. This produced fewer disciples and more participants. But in this new season, the tide is turning and there is evolving a new thrust on discipleship.

In this new season, there is going to be a fresh move in evangelism. Believers are going to share the Good News with passion, boldness and grace. They are going to live clean and help others get cleaned up.

God is extra patient because He wants everyone to turn from sin and no one to be lost. That is why Jesus has not yet come to take His Church to His heavenly home. So arise and shine! Rise up early everyday and spend time with God. Study the Bible and meditate on God’s Word. Pray and intercede as the Holy Spirit guides. Follow Christ passionately.

The Lord’s glory is upon you. Don’t wait for the feelings to come to share the love of Christ with people in your community. When you open your mouth and start sharing the gospel, you will see great transformation in them and you will experience joy unspeakable. Join hands with the pastor of your church. If you are not attending a Bible based church, decide to join one and get disciplined there.

Don’t waste time. As we read above, every minute counts in the Kingdom of God. As one Korean car company stated, “If one employee gets three minutes late for the job, we lose one car!”, how much more we, as Christ disciples, must take our work seriously to rescue people from evil traps and bring them into the safe hands of Jesus!

When you seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, God will work for you on your behalf. He will fight the battles for you. He will be your advocate. He will give you the wisdom and the resources to conquer your struggles.

May God help you to discern the moment!

May God help you to stand for Christ and bring many to Christ!

Jesus, Son of God Eternal
Everlasting Lord is He,
Savior of a world of sinners,
Universal King to be,
Sought us, brought us victory.

Christ is due all adoration,
Humbly born to save our race,
Ruler of the whole creation
Intercedes and gives us grace,
Saves us from sin’s condemnation,
Truly worthy of all praise!

JESUS IS GOD

I believe that the first message we need to get is that Jesus Is God. The Bible says in Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a child is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of peace”

Yes, Jesus is the Mighty God. We were created by Him and in Him we have our being.  Put your total trust in Him and you will surely be a success.

‘Change’ is the catchword that Barak Obama used in his election campaign. And it fetched him the prestigious position of the President of United States of America. Why? Because people love change!

Change is a fundamental component of our lives. We love positive change. One of the keys that the Bible provides us for success is ‘changing the way we think’. It is simply changing our thoughts according to God’s Word.

In Romans 12:2 (NLT) we read, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect His will really is”.

Changing your mind is a daily process. Before you start your daily schedule, it is good to consult with God about what you are supposed to do regarding that day’s schedule. He will give you the right counsel from His Word. When you change your thinking according to God’s Word, you will taste victory even though you may face some challenges. As you set your mind to follow God’s instruction, you will be able to come up in life as God wants you to be.

Galatians 5:17 says that the sinful nature in man loves to do evil which is just opposite to what the Holy Spirit desires. And the Spirit of God gives us desires that are opposite to what the sinful nature craves for.

Even after you are born again, you can have the old way of thinking. That is why the Bible exhorts to change your mind daily. As God’s child, you have access to His Presence. He will speak to you from His Word. He will never let you down. In fact, God desires His children to enjoy progress in life. He doesn’t want you to be stuck on the same old level. So He is not to be blamed if you don’t experience progress. It may be that you are still having the same old thinking.

For example, jealousy can be a factor that stops your progress. Therefore choose to rejoice in the progress of others. Have good thoughts about them. Encourage them and thank God for their progress so that you will start seeing progress in your life too.

Learn to walk in the counsel of the Holy Spirit. He will help you to protect your mind from being contaminated by the behavior and customs of the world. Changing your thinking according to God’s Word is the foundation for success. Once you do so, you will be able to bring fruitful changes into every area of ‘your world’. And that, in turn, brings progress and growth in to your life!
