Blessed the ones that in Christ are sanctified

Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
John 17:17,19 (NIV)

World Changer: *To be a born again Christian allows us to start to see our lives according to God’s purpose, leaving behind our past by God’s grace and placing our eyes in Jesus.
Everybody that walk as God’s children we no have many promises in the Bible that will break all kind of curses that generationally reached us, especially if we are the first generation to become born again Christians.
Our Lord Jesus Christ made an intercessory prayer to God His Father moments before the Pharisees were brought before the council to be handed over to Pilate, and in His words there was a cry for all those who had followed Him to be saved knowing that they belonged to God the Father.
Jesus also pointed out that when He was with them in the world, He kept them and not one of them was lost, but only the son of perdition (Judas) so that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now Jesus was going back to His Father for having fulfilled all that He was commanded. Now His disciples would begin to fight their spiritual battles, because the world would hate them since they are not of the world as Jesus Himself testified that He was not of the world (John chapter 17).
We make this mention because any person who in these times wants to proclaim himself a true Christian, has to take refuge in the power of God and receive divine holiness, which is the only one that can guard him or her against the snares of the kingdom of darkness, which of course are ruling in these last times. God’s holiness is available to all who receive Jesus into their hearts (Romans 10:8-13).
May the holiness of Christ in us allow Him to be our hope of glory and our victory to change the world (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

We are God’s people

What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.”
2 Corinthians 6:16 (NIV)

World Changer: *To be God’s people implies to totally surrender our lives to Him and to walk under His grace remembering that when we were at our worst, God listened our cry and rescued us and made us saved through the faith in His Son Jesuschrist. Today, we as born again Christians enjoy our salvation because we are kept by the power of His Holy Spirit which sustains us through our tribulations, needs and concerns, since we are not exempt from going through various tests, but the love of God will allow us to prevail until the end.
God wants a holy life and without stain full of God’s love and that is strengthened by our hunger and thirst for His Word so that through it we remain firm in our call.
As children of God we must take care of our mouths and speak everything that builds His Kingdom, and of course have a generous heart that loves our neighbor giving testimony of our life in Christ.
Therefore, let us not unite in an unequal yoke with unbelievers, because what communion does justice have with injustice and what communion does light have with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14-15).
According to the Bible (1 Thessalonians 5:5), we are children of light because we are children of God, so let us preach the gospel to everyone but let us not turn back or run the risk of stumbling again in sin.
Today is your day to look up to the heavens and ask God to forgive all your sins and give yourself to Jesus to receive all these promises of salvation and eternal life if you repent (Romans 10:8-13).
May the love of God and His grace allow us that Christ be our hope of glory and our victory to change the world by proclaiming His Name (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

Let us always talk what builds

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.
Ephesians 4:29 (NKJV)

World Changer: For all of us who are born-again Christians first generation, we have a hard time stopping to talk like we did before Christ, because in reality we usually listened to emotional advice that had nothing to do with the Word of God. But the moment we surrender to Jesus, the Holy Spirit convicts us of all our sin so that we repent and allow God’s grace to begin to do its work in our thoughts, words and actions, and we abandon our old way to live.
To bless means to talk good and bring hope of a new life to the one who listens. Apostle Paul en his letter to the Ephesians instructs them talking and exhorting to leave their sins and start to behave according to God’s will, giving them the instruction that vain words sadden the Holy Spirit and that is why it is important to speak according to what the Bible teaches us.
*That from our conversation we may discard the lie and speak truth with our neighbor and give no place to the enemy of our souls, and in our words there is no longer bitterness, anger, yelling, slander and all malice. Rather let us ask God for His grace to allow us to be kind to one another, speaking with mercy and forgiving each other as God also forgave all of us who are now in a new life in Christ (Ephesians 4: 25-32).
Therefore, let us consecrate our heart, mind and mouth to our Lord Jesus Christ so that many people will be won to the Kingdom of God by His Word and our testimony.
Today is your day of salvation if you receive Jesus in your heart (Romans 10: 8-13).
May God’s love and grace always help us to make Christ our hope of glory and our victory to change the world (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

Jesus wants to save us and transform us

/0 Comments/in /by

World Changer: The main purpose for which Jesus came to earth was to die for our sins and rise from the dead is to save us from condemnation and eternal life because of sin that alll people have just for being born in this earth from Adam’s and Eve’s lineage.
We need then, to understand that in order to come to Christ we have to absolutely repent from our sins, confess them to Him and have a genuine repentance because only like this we will receive forgiveness, salvation and eternal life in heaven.
The problem is that many times we come to the Lord looking for solutions to our life situations and we wrongly place them in first place to solve them and it is not like this because also for us it should be very clear that surrendering ourselves to Jesus is to leave behind all our old habits of sin and make a 180º turn to go after holiness and fulfill by the grace of God His will during our life on this earth (2 Corinthians 5: 16-17).
*He who puts Jesus in first place of his life it is for sure that besides his salvation God will fix and order his steps so that hecan begin to enjoy being a true born-again Christian and child of God (Psalm 37:23).
So let’s ask God and Jesus today to give us an understanding of the need to fully surrender to His Word the Holy Bible. Today is your day of salvation if you have not yet received Jesus into your heart as your King and Lord (Romans 10: 8-13).
Christ in us our hope of glory and our world-changing victory (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

Affirming our faith in Christ

/0 Comments/in /by

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:13 (NIV)

World Changer: Only God’s grace in us the born again Christians will allow us to watch and stand firm in our calling in Christ. Let us understand in depth what it means to be watching because it is to be alert at all times, not neglecting for a second, the task of caring for our salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12).
To be firm in the faith has to be our major challenge considering that we live in a world that has turned its back to God and is calling the good bad and the bad good, just as Isaiah prophesied many years ago (Isaiah 5: 20-21).
Also, Apostle Paul exhorts us men in many of his letters to behave manly and to guard and care for our family in faith and of course our family of blood. Let us understand today that this demand of Paul is because many abandon the faith, always beginning with a legitimate doubt and then filled with fears and it is difficult for them to understand that Jesus is always with outstretched arms at all times to carry our burdens and to be our rest so that we can remain firm in the faith (Matthew 11: 28-29).
*Finally, Paul asks us to to strive and not give up even in the midst of the most violent trials because we are not alone since by the grace of God when we surrender to Jesus we stop living in our own strength, Christ comes to live in our hearts, filling us with His Holy Spirit and strengthening ourselves so that in Him we have the victory and not by our own strength (Galatians 2:20).
Today is the day to watch, be firmed and that men can be example and testimony in all the families of the earth. If you haven’t done it yet, ask Jesus to be your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:8-13).
Christ in us our hope of glory and our victory that changes the world (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

Let us be of blessing and not of stumbling

Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
1 Corinthians 10:32-33 (NKJV)

World Changer: Christ’s Church is made up of all kinds of people from languages ​​and nations who arrive invaded by sin but with a repentant heart, who want to surrender their lives before Jesus and abandon their old way of life.
This walk becomes lonely because each one will have to enter through the narrow door and walk the narrow path in a personal relationship with Jesus, crying out to Him for His grace, love, patience and mercy, believing in all the promises written in the Word of God, the holy Bible.
Now, it is necessary that each born again Christian may be baptized and be incorporated into the Body of Christ that is His church, so that they can be not only instructed in the Word of God but also discipled just as Jesus left us with His great commission, which is to go and make disciples of all nations and baptize them in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28: 19-20).
*Here it also starts our responsibility to be an example and testimony to all in our words and actions and try to talk and behave may bring glory to our Lord Jesuschrist. Because there are many people that are watching our lives from the moment we proclaimed ourselves Christians and that is why we must leave clear traces of our love, patience, grace and mercy on others, just as Jesus does with us. Let us remember that we too came from a world of sin, so that when we see other sinners arrive, we remember our conversion and the love and compassion with which we were received and that we are obliged before God to give by grace what we receive by grace (Matthew 10 : 8).
Today is the day to allow Christ to be our hope of glory and our world-changing victory (Romans 10: 8-13, Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

Our holiness comes from God

/0 Comments/in /by

A highway shall be there, and a road, And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray.
Isaiah 35:8 (NKJV)

World Changer: In today’s verses, the Bible teaches us clearly what must we expect from the moment we deliver our lives to Jesus because how clumsy we are, everything will begin to change, especially in our thoughts, words and actions, which will turn away from serving the world and will begin to serve Christ.
The gift of walking in the holiness of God is thanks to the sacrifice of Christ on the cross and His resurrection from the dead, because He paid the price for the forgiveness of all our sins and no one can find salvation or holiness elsewhere, but solely through faith in Jesus.
Only those who are tired and toiled will be able to come to Christ so that He may transform them into His disciples and put in them also His meekness, humility and holiness (Matthew 11: 28-29).
Jesus also said that He is the only way to return to God His Father and become children of the Most High (John 14: 6).
*Many times we will need a brokenness come upon us so that we react and understand that the world cannot help us to get out of that pain, but only Christ for His love, grace and mercy that He offers for those who seek Him and give themselves to Him (John 3: 16).
God will not force anyone to come to Him to be healed and restored from a life of pain and purpose. But let it be clear to us that He is always knocking on the door to heal us, save us, restore us, and show us a life with eternal purpose (Revelation 3:20).
Today is your day of salvation, so let Christ be your hope of glory and your world-changing victory (Romans 10: 8-13, Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

What it costs to follow Christ

/0 Comments/in /by

o He said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God. Luke 18:29 (NKJV)

World Changer: Jesus was always exhorting His disciples to maintain a close relationship with Him and with God His Father.
He knew of the difficulties that many people would have to leave everything to take up their cross and walk as true Christians and the best example is the rich young man who asked Jesus, what could he do to inherit eternal life?
After Jesus explained the commandments to him and this young man replied that he had obeyed all that, then Jesus clarified that one thing was missing: sell everything you have and give it to the poor and you will have treasures in heaven; Come and follow me.
Hearing this, this young man became very sad and left because he was very rich (Luke 18: 18-23).
Jesus then declared how difficult it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of heaven and that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. And it was not because of the amount of money but because of his love of money and that this was his god (Luke 18: 24-25).
*Just as the disciples, we the born again Christians let us put God in first place and look towards eternity because there we will enjoy of the true riches that God has prepared to the ones that love Him, left everything here on earth and looked for the kingdom of God and His justice as a priority in their lives and that is why they will hear from our Heavenly Father: well done faithful servant, enter your eternal home (Matthew 6:33, Matthew chapter 25).
Today is your day of salvation if you receive Jesus in your heart because He is your hope of glory and your victory to change the world (Romans 10: 8-13, Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

A healthy root will make the tree bear good fruit

/0 Comments/in /by

“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”
Revelation 22:16 (NIV)

World Changer: If Christ is not our root, our fruits will be bad although we try in the natural and in our own strength to make them good. We must not allow the world to entertain us in its bad decisions because according to the Word, the children of God have been called to announce the good news and bring to this fallen world the only hope they have to be saved and that is precisely to have faith in Jesus.
When we read the Gospel we realize of the strong opposition of all against the message of Jesus. At that time the Roman Empire was full of perversion and corruption and yet Christ never stop to attack what Rome did wrong but He dedicated Himself to preach so that the hearts of the people would be purified and they would give their lives to God.
It means that the root of the problem of what we are currently seeing is that the world is moving further and further away from God and they have false expectations that one day everything will change and it will be beautiful, but those of us who have been born again and now we see clearly, we realize that things are getting worse because the fruits are worse every day. However the fruit will not change no matter how hard we try unless the root can be healed.
*Now, Jesus declared: that He was the root and lineage of David, so the only tree we can eat from is the tree of life that produces the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5: 22-23).
Only Christ and His Word can heal a fallen world.
Today is your day for Christ to be your hope of glory and your world-changing victory (Romans 10: 8-13, Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15: 10,57). Hallelujah.

God waits for us to go back home

/0 Comments/in /by

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. Philippians 3:20-21 (NKJV)

World Changer: Jesus came to earth and fulfilled all of His Father’s will opening the way back to our heavenly home if we fulfill and believe precisely in the sacrifice, death and resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Apostle Paul in his letter to the Philippians exhorts us to know the character of Christ and that we may be joyful in the Lord and take His Word as lamp to our feet because is the only sure way to go back to heaven (Psalms 119:105).
Again and again Paul wrote to the Philippians tirelessly about the same things, also teaching them that everything that was the gain of this world for him, he estimated as loss for Christ’s sake and even the treasures of this earth, he also declared them as loss for excellence of being able to know Christ more every day to love and follow Him and to give everything else of this life for garbage, in order to reach the heavenly inheritance.
Finally, Paul exhorts us to walk towards maturity and continue by faith even going through trials, in order to fulfill the will of our Heavenly Father and Jesus our Savior.
*Therefore, let us leave everything behind and walk forward pursuing to the goal to the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians chapter 3).
Today is your day to be saved if you give yourself unreservedly to Jesus (Romans 10: 8-13).
May the love and grace of God allow Christ to always be in us our only hope and victory to achieve the glory of God (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.
