Living the Resurrection

-

Hello Risen Ones!

This morning, I want to come straight to the point without much delay 😊

Let’s reflect briefly on the Resurrection of Christ Jesus.

The resurrection was not merely an event where Jesus rose from the dead on the third day and appeared to His disciples before ascending to the Father. It is a present and living reality—that JESUS is ALIVE and WITH us now. This truth is more powerful than anything the world can produce!

The same Jesus who ascended has now come to dwell within us in the Person of the Holy Spirit. His people were radically transformed, filled with resurrection power, and they went about doing the works of Jesus—being a blessing to many. The Book of Acts clearly shows the works of the Risen Christ continuing through His disciples.

So what does the Resurrection of Christ mean for you and me today as His disciples?

  1. It means His resurrected Spirit now dwells in us.
  2. It means we are called to be bold witnesses for Him.
  3. It means we are focused on our calling to turn the world right side up.
  4. It means we are empowered to love others through His resurrection power.
  5. It means we carry the responsibility as sons to do the works of Jesus—and even greater works—for the good of all.
  6. It means we are being transformed into His likeness.
  7. It means His resurrection is our resurrection too.
  8. It means death has lost its sting—for we have died in Him and now live in Him.
  9. It means we are like “little Christs on the loose”—as He is, so are we in this world.

Let us ponder on these truths beloved disciples, as we remember His death, celebrate His resurrection, and live in the reality of His indwelling presence within us.

The world will know that Jesus is alive—when they see us LIVING THE RESURRECTION.

(Scripture references: Colossians 3:1–3, Romans 6:5 & Romans 8, 1 Corinthians 6:17, 1 John 4:17)

Shalom!

Discipleship Thoughts - our New Location

-
Hello Disciples, Warriors and Saints! This is my new HIDE-OUT  to document my DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS . I have been receiving some feedback lately to 'enlarge my boundaries'. So, I took this new step to ' SPREAD OUT MY WINGS ', like our father of faith, Abraham and start walking on the 'terrain of the vast promised land'. I also felt this is an opportunity to reach out to a larger audience. Starting today I will only post the links to the DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS in our groups, especially for those of us who are still interested in reading my content.  Please feel free to drop by, stay connected, comment and share your thoughts here. Shalom!

Be anxious for nothing - FCRA or No FCRA

-
Hello Friend, Good Morning! How are you today? Have you been following the news? There is a lot of discussion among NGOs, many of whom seem anxious about what may be coming their way. Recently, I came across several news reports about the FCRA amendment bill, which has raised concern among many Christian NGOs. Some view it as a harsh or restrictive measure and feel targeted. At the same time, there could be valid reasons for the government to introduce such legislation. Can we deny that a small percentage of NGOs have failed to maintain financial integrity in running their institutions? In such cases, the violators should be held accountable and their licenses revoked. As the Bible says, “a little leaven leavens the whole lump.” Some unscrupulous NGOs have brought disgrace to the name of Christ. As Christians, we are called to a higher standard of living, and in this context, running our institutions above reproach is non-negotiable. However, with regard to propagating one’s faith, the...

Do our gatherings truly HELP us?

Do our gatherings truly HELP us grow?   I have noticed  that more and more gatherings  these days, looks more like a  “ Sunday entertainment" center, it  is HARMING than  HELPING God's people from  becoming  ROCK SOLID DISCIPLES . Our meetings should not be just a place for a lot of TALK, Emotional SINGING and Fun , however it should be a place where we are STRENGTHENED, EMPOWERED AS DISCIPLES  and SENT OUT  to be effective witnesses. When a gathering does not have DISCIPLESHIP as its CORE MISSION , then it has already moved away from the Biblical BLUE-PRINT of the Ekklesia .  If you find yourself in such a place, WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? The next best thing I can think of is to earnestly pray and look out for a fellowship which has Discipleship as one of its CORE pillars . That's it for now. Hopefully we will meet again in the next post. Until then, let us continue the journey of renewing our minds .   Shalom!
