• Jesus Our Rock‏

Only hold fast what you have until I  come.         
 (Rev 2:25)
__________


Crumbling circumstances can be discouraging. I need to remind myself that we don't stand on circumstances; we stand on Jesus our Rock. 

Rev Eng JK Maragia

He is faithful and that's what we hold on to. Our faith may be tiny- like a mustard seed, but his faithful love is everything. Our hope is secure. 'Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,  for he who promised is faithful.'  (Heb 10:23)

Evangelist Andrew

Let's pray.

Lord Jesus you are faithful. When we feel weak your promise never fails. The whole world is coming apart but your love never changes. We trust in you. When our faith is weak you remain faithful. Thank you for loving us.
Amen.

Today's very great and precious promise

Love in Deed

Mama and Junior

 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. (1John 3:18)


____________________

The only way to truly assure our hearts is to wait upon Jesus and serve him. Those that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.


And when we see him he will tell us how we served him here on earth. "Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me."          (Matt 25:40)

Minister Anastasia

Christian, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him. Let's pray.

Lord Jesus, thank you for your unfailing love. Help us to forgive and love the people in our life. As we wait upon you and participate in your love our heart is assured in the confidence of your grace. Amen.

Stuck in a Desert

Yes your Majesty Honour and Glory to you forever and ever Amen


Minister Anastasia

 Stuck in a Desert

For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin.  (Rom 7:14)


____________________________________

Sometimes I don't feel like looking to the Lord. There are other things to occupy my attention. For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin. (Rom 7:14)


Imagine your car breaking down in the desert. You have no tools, but you have a cell phone- So you call for a tow and repairs. When we don't feel like looking to the Lord, we could end up stuck in a desert. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? (Rom 7:24)

Rev. Eng. JK. Maragia

Instead of trying to kick-start your engine by figuring your way out of a problem... instead of trying to fill yourself with yourself... instead of trying to get your own satisfaction and stuck in the desert... best call the Lord to repair your soul. Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! (from Rom 7:25)


Trust him to take care of you. There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. (Rom 8:1-2)

Let's pray.


Lord Jesus, thank you for being our way. Help us- we try to find our own fulfillment before we turn to you, but it goes all wrong. We turn to you again. Straighten us out as we surrender our thoughts to you. You are our way and our rest. Amen.

We Love you people

Today's very great and precious promise


In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

• Romans 4:7-8‏

Blessed are those whose disobedience is forgiven and whose sins are pardoned. Blessed is the person whom the Lord never considers sinful.


1 John 1:9‏

The Logo to come for our Ministry

God is faithful and reliable. If we confess our sins, he forgives them and cleanses us from everything we've done wrong.

Allow His Peace‏

Yes your Majesty Honour and Glory to you forever and ever!! Amen

Rev Eng. JK. Maragia

Matthew 22:37-39‏



..."Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with your entire mind." This is the greatest and most important commandment. The second is like it: "Love your neighbor as you love yourself."

Allow His Peace


...let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts (Col 3:15)


____________


The word of God tells us to let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts. Let us notice first of all that it is the peace of Christ. Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you." (John 14:27)


Next let us see that we are called to allow his peace rule in our hearts. That word 'rule' means to umpire or as we might say to 'call the shots'. We are to allow his peace to guide us.

Anastasia And James

We would be right to ask, "How can we get this peace?" We must be born again by believing in Christ Jesus. You may well say, "I have, but I feel no peace." There is no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus and honesty is a godly virtue.


If indeed you have been born again, then Christ in you is your hope that is secure as the Throne of Grace. At times we may not feel it, but you have his peace. We need to stop and trust him to help us.


His peace is not magic, we cannot demand it, force it, or deserve it. Jesus said, "My peace I give to you." His peace is yours. Let it rule in your heart. Come to him and find rest; allow him to lead you.


The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Phi 4:6-7) Let's pray.


Lord Jesus, thank you for your peace. Thank you that it is here in each believer. Forgive us for striving to work things out or to find our own way. Help us to surrender our struggles and anxieties to you. Help us learn to let your peace guide us as we trust in you our Good Shepherd. Amen.

Today's very great and precious promise


you will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you; because he trusts in you. (Isa 26:3)

"The Promise of Prayer"

Yes your Majesty Honour and Glory to you forever and ever!! Amen

PRAYER -

God's Promise are Yes

"The Promise of Prayer"


Abraham Lincoln said, "I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go."

God promises faithfully to hear the prayers of His people. Who else in the world guarantees to care and intervene? Abandon all others, but seek the Lord!

2 Chronicles 7:14 -
"If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land."

PRINCIPALS -

Minister Anastasia

"Dominion"

God brought the animals to Adam for naming. He gave mankind dominion over the earth and all living creatures. God committed the earth to benefit and sustain man. Man has divine authority and prerogative to use earth for his benefit, including domestication and cultivation. "Mother Earth" politics elevates animal rights and environmental issues above human rights, and gives "mother" nature illicit dominion over Father God. Controlling the balance of nature, including global climate, is FAR over our heads. Only God can comprehend and control sustainability.


Genesis 1:26 - "...let them have dominion ...over all the earth."

PRINCIPLES -

"Wicked Hearts"

Make a call to the Almighty

Who can guess the population of the earth in Noah's day? Hundreds of thousands? Millions? But God could only find one righteous man - Noah. What does that say about the rest of us? Our hearts are predisposed to evil. We are desperately wicked by nature. The "inherent goodness" of man is a delusion. Without God's word to guide and His grace to forgive, we are hopeless.


Genesis 6:5 -
"And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."


PROPHECIES -

Remember The word of God is True

"The Flood Foretold"

The Bible does not say how long Noah spent building the ark. He was at least 500 before the commandment came and 600 when he entered the ark. Nevertheless, anyone can guess that Noah needed many years to build an 800-foot wooden ship. Not coincidentally, the floods came as soon as he finished building. Noah gambled his life on God's word and won! Likewise, we should heed prophetic warnings for our time!

Genesis 6:13 -
"God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; ...I will destroy them with the earth."

"What are you seeking?"

Yes your Majesty Honour and Glory to you forever and ever!! Amen

Rev Eng. JK. Maragia

Being Real
 
"What are you seeking?" (from John 1:38)
_________
 
Two people started following Jesus. He turned to them and asked, "What are you seeking?" Instead of trying to be religiously profound, they were simply honest.

Jesus told us to come as little children.
 They just wanted to be with Jesus. They said to him, "Rabbi"    (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
(John 1:38)
To that simple request Jesus gives his simple reply. He said to them, "Come and you will see." (John 1:39)

Minister Anastasia

 Let's pray.
 
Lord Jesus, thank you for simple questions and straightforward answers. Free us from trying to 0ur impressive. Thank you for letting us come just as we are to find our rest in you. Amen.

Surely Heavenly Minded

 
Heavenly Minded
 
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
(Col 3:1)
____________

Madam Anastasia

 (See Phil 4:8)

 Cartoons picture heaven like floating around on fluffy clouds while strumming golden harps. What a boring cartoon. Beloved in Christ we will be doing what we are beginning to learn- to know the love of God and reflect it. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.      (Col 3:2)

In truth, the more heavenly minded we are the more earthly good we will be- Jesus said, "Wherever I am, there my servant will be also." We learn to seek the things above as we walk with the Lord here and now. Let's pray.

Lord Jesus, thank you for keeping us closes, for walking with us. We cannot do anything of heavenly purpose- anything that really counts here on earth without you. Help us to seek heavenly things. Teach us to love people around us with your love. Amen.

Today's very great and precious promise

For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. (Col 3:3)  

We have God's Word on it.
============================================

To seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God we set our hearts on whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise. Think about these things.

The resurrection is a miraculous transformation

Yes your Majesty Honour and Glory to you forever and ever!! Amen

The resurrection is a miraculous transformation 

Paul taught that all the saints would one day be changed in like manner.       1 Corinthians 15:52-57 says,



Madam Anastasia



"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, and then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

But thanks are to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

Our spirit, which returns to God when we die, will be REJOINED with our resurrected body so that we may walk and talk with one another ON THIS EARTH for 1000 years with Jesus Christ and all the saints. If we are still alive at the time of the resurrection, our mortal bodies will be instantly changed to immortal without our ever tasting death.

The shout of victory
No other event in our entire lifetime will compare with the joyous emotions that will accompany the resurrection of our bodies. We will have overcome the world, the flesh and the devil for the last time.

Death will be defeated

There will be no more sickness, no more sorrow, no more pain or death. Revelation 21:4 declares,

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

Jesus Christ is the key to our victory
Winston Churchill once said, "Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival."

Victory is defined as the defeat of an enemy or an opponent; success in a struggle against difficulties or an obstacle; the state of having triumphed. It refers especially to the final defeat of an enemy or an opponent.
Our eternal salvation is in Jesus Christ

ultimately, it is our obedience to the resurrection power that saves us. The gospel of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ is preached every time a believer repents of his sins and is baptized (immersed in water) in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins, and receives the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

Everything we know about God, His word, and His incarnation in the man Jesus Christ would be moot - pointless - worthless, if there were no resurrection from the dead. Even the Apostle Paul admitted it would be miserable.



Madam Anastasia



Jesus taught that life does not consist in the abundance of the things which a man possesses. (Luke 12:15). He taught against laying up treasure on earth. Rather, we should set our affections on things above. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

As the old song said,
    "This world is not my home.
    I'm just a passing through.
    My treasures are laid up
    somewhere beyond the blue.
    The angels beckon me
    from heaven's open door
    and I can't feel at home
    in this world any more."

To the world, our values will seem to be misplaced.

Paul declared that much of the hardship he faced was due to the fact that he believed in the resurrection. As he stood before Ananias the high priest, and an angry mob, he realized that it was because of "the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question" (Acts 23:6).

May God grant us the same desire Paul expressed,

"That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead."

(Philippians 3:10, 11).

"Therefore we are buried with death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:4).

"O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy vihim by baptism into ctory?"
    (I Corinthians 15:55).

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and (that your body) may keep well, even as (I know) your soul keeps well and prospers.  In fact, I greatly rejoiced when (some of) the brethren from time to time arrived and spoke (so highly) of the sincerity and fidelity of your life, as indeed you do live in the Truth (the whole Gospel presents).

 Luke 6:38   

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Psalm 37:1-11  (NIV)  

Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.  Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.  Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.  Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this:  He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.  Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.  Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.  For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.    A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.  But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.

James 1:5 (Amplified)

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.   It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.   Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:   So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

Scripture Prayer for Success and Provision

 

Dear Lord,  

 I come before you in the name of your son, Jesus, and I praise you and thank you that you are Jehovah Jireh, my God and provider.  

I thank you for the many ways you have provided for me and my family and that it is your desire that we would prosper and be in good health even as our souls prosper.  Help me to prosper my soul in Your Word and to listen to your instruction and acquire wisdom.

Thank You that your blessings bring wealth and you add no sorrow to it as you fill our treasuries for your glory.  Your gifts are better than the purest gold, your wages better than sterling silver.  I ask for wisdom and Godly counsel so that I can work wisely and prosper and am satisfied. 

Lord, you have said that you will show me a way out of my problems.  I ask for that now.  Forgive me where I have been fearful, greedy, or foolish in my work and my finances.  

Help me to have integrity and wisdom and to persevere in righteousness.  Forgive me for idolatry to the things of this world and help me to love you more.  And I ask that you mercifully restore my losses.   I choose to walk in righteousness, in paths of justice, and to love and honor You, Oh Lord.

Dear Lord, I confess and declare that I will trust in you and lean not to my own understanding for you have said that you perfect the things that concern me.  You even give to your children as we sleep.  Lord, I will seek first your kingdom and your righteousness. I will praise you for the wonderful things you do. I will not throw away my confidence in you, Lord.  My hope is in you and I will persevere and receive your promises in my life.  And I will honor and serve you all the days of my life. 

I chose to be a cheerful giver and to be generous for that is your heart, and you have said that a generous man will prosper. I will give ten percent of my income to You, Lord, and I will watch the windows of Heaven open and poor out a blessing just as you have said.  Give me your heart for the poor that I would joyfully give offerings and gifts to those in need.   And thank you that as I give, it will be given unto me. 

Thank you that I am like a tree that’s planted by the rivers of water and whatever I do will prosper by your grace because I belong to you, and you take pleasure in the prosperity of your servants.  You give me the ability to produce wealth for your kingdom without shame or sorrow.  If you are for me, who can be against me?  You are awesome and I am humbled by your love and grace.  

I am thankful that your love for me endures forever and your plans for me are always for good and not for calamity.  Thank You for Your great and precious promises that I can inherit through faith and patience.  I am so grateful that you are at work within me to cause me to desire and to do your will.  I commit my work, my giving, and my finances to you, and ask that you cause my thoughts to become agreeable to your will so that I will succeed to your glory.    

I thank You, Jesus, that on the cross You set me free from the curses of the law (Deuteronomy 28) of sickness, poverty, and eternal death.  In Your name, I receive these things are broken off my life.  Show me how to walk out of the habits of them.  And I receive the blessings of health, prosperity and eternal life that are mine through your shed blood on the cross. I thank you, Lord, that You will reveal the things that are unseen and You will show me the way to prosperity and success as I honor You.  I love you, Lord.  Your grace is truly amazing and all the glory is yours.  

In Jesus’ mighty name,  

Amen
