It is never too late to surrender to Christ

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.Romans 12:1 (NIV)

 

World Changer: Today we want to emphasize how Paul the Apostle extends a request in his letter to the Romans so that all those who had given themselves to Christ, also present their own bodies as a sacrifice pleasing to God and obviously this meant ceasing to live and think about themselves and walk fully surrendered to the Lord.
Paul explains to the Church in Rome that they did not conform to the way of life of this world, but that they allowed the grace and love of God to transform them through a change of life and understanding so that their testimony would show an example of living in the will of God pleasant and mature (Romans 12: 2).
*A Christian that has been born again is enjoying of the grace of God that has been given to him and the humbleness of Christ that now lives in him so that he does not have a higher opinion of himself than he should have, so that he behaves like a child of God and with the faith of the Most High that he received on the day of his conversion (Romans 12: 3).
Lastly, may our life show the fragrance of Christ’s love and may we be filled with love for our neighbor in the same way that the Lord loved us (John 13:34). Knowing that love does no harm to anyone and that the fulfillment of God’s law is precisely love (Romans 13: 8-10).
Today is the day to surrender to Jesus and receive by grace the forgiveness of all our sins and eternal life (Romans 10: 8-13).
Christ in us the hope of glory and our victory that by His love and grace allows us to change the world (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

The joy of the Lord that does not depend on our circumstances

/0 Comments/in /by

Rejoice always, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
1 Thessalonians 5:16, 18 (NKJV)

World Changer: Apostle Paul makes us a great exhortation to be always filled with the joy of God, but the problem is that many of us are first Christian generation in our families and therefore we indoctrinated with what the world offers and sadly calls it the joy that is money and possessions.
When we are true Christians and we have asked God to reveal to us all His Word day by day, then we begin to understand that joy should not depend on our circumstances but on what God has already done on the cross for all of us and that it grants us salvation and eternal life, because He died and rose again for the forgiveness of our sins and thus reconcile us with God His Father.
*Then there should be nothing that gives us more joy than knowing that we have been born again in Christ, that we are walking in His promises, and that even when we are going through trials, He is in us accompanying us and many times drying our tears in the moments difficult that we do not understand.
The joy of the Lord is knowing that we are heading towards eternal life in the hand of Jesus, instructed by His Word the Holy Bible and no matter what we are going through in our daily lives, the important thing is to know that the Holy Spirit is in us and He will fulfill His purpose according to His plans and not ours (John chapters 14 and 15).
Let us first seek the Kingdom of God and His justice and the joy of the Lord will come in addition, because He knows all our needs (Matthew 6:33).
Today is the day to ask Jesus to come into our lives and pour out His joy (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.

Depending on the Holy Spirit

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Acts 1:8 (NKJV)

World Changer: These were the last words that Jesus spoke to His disciples after being risen and moments before going to heaven. They had asked Him about the times but Jesus exhorted them to ocuppy themselves to preach the Gospel, trusting in the power of the Holy Spirit and not in their own strenght (the Self).
As we Christians that have been born again, we will start today a challenge to review our relationship with God, with our Lord Jesus Christ and with the Holy Spirit because many times we end up frustrated in trials and situations that God allows over our lives, because we are not acting guided by God through His Holy Spirit and not because we don’t want but because we need to spend more time in the Word of God and receive in our spirit all the instruction that the Bible gives us so that we obtain the victory during our Christian walk.
*It is not about a a competition between Christians to know who is more or who is less spiritual, but it is about the church being united in Christ walking in the same mind under the power of God, who has also sent His Holy Spirit upon us to assure us the victory in the adversities and in the situations in which we are tested.
Let us review the time we spend in the Scriptures Because of what we fill our hearts, that will reflect who we are worshiping, if it is God the Father or the things of this world.
Ask God for His grace and to open your understanding to receive Jesus in your heart, be saved and be a disciple if you have not already done so (Romans 10: 8-13).
Christ in us our hope of glory and our victory who by His grace changes the world (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

A faith that spreads

/0 Comments/in /by

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
Romans 1:8 (NKJV)

World Changer: Our conversion to Christ brought hope to our lives knowing that we were lost and trapped by sin until the day we repented, confessed to Jesus everything that was wrong in us, believed in His Name and invited Him to be our King and Lord.
From that day on our faith in the Son of God has kept us and now the ones that have stayed under God’s grace are enjoying of a life like the ones that dream (Psalms 126:1). And that is why Jesus commands us to share our faith until the last corner of the earth, having to preach His Word the Bible, so that many souls may be won for His kingdom (Matthew 28:19-20).
All Christians that have been born again are the Church of Christ and our testimony has to impact the ones that listen the wonders that God has done in us and our families.
*The Word of the cross is madness to the ones that get lost but everyone that are saved, this is us, is God’s power.
No one can be saved in his or her own strength through their human wisdom, because we know that to this day they do not know who God is and that God is allowing it until Jesus returns the second time to earth and every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (1 Corinthians 1: 18-21, Philippians 2: 10-11).
Only Christ saves and He is the only mediator between God and men, Jesuschrist the Man (1 Timothy 2:5).
Today is your day of salvation if you can believe in Jesus (Romans 10:8-13).
Christ in us the hope of glory and our victory that by His love and grace changes the world (Colosians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

We are God’s stewar

/0 Comments/in /by

Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.

1 Corinthians 4:1-2 (NKJV)

World Changer: When we talk about stewardship, let us not understand exclusively about matters of money because in today’s verses teach us that we be considered servants of Christ and administrators of the mysteries of God, and that we be faithful in these tasks. He is not talking about money but about the spiritual matters that God our Father has entrusted to us, which have a great responsibility and eternal importance.
It is easier to be rich than to be a true son of God and a good steward because to be rich you only have to work and work hard, but to be a good son of God you have to die to the Self, crucifying our flesh and puting God in first place of our lives, something that is impossible for us but for God it is possible.
God wants that of all that has been given to us, starting with His promises of salvation and eternal life, we can administer them by His grace, take them to the last corner of the earth and preach them so that many souls are won and saved for the Kingdom of the Heavens.
Even God from the beginning told man and woman to be fruitful and multiply, to fill the earth, to subdue it and rule over all creation. We know that the man and his wife sinned and both were expelled from the garden and *now only by the grace of God those of us who have surrendered our lives to Christ, have been given the power of God again to fulfill this mandate and be faithful and good stewards of His Kingdom. (Genesis 1:26-28)
Today is your day of salvation if you surrender to Jesus (Romans 10:8-13).
Christ in us the hope of glory and victory that changes the world (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

May our life edify others

/0 Comments/in /by

We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.
Romans 15:1-2 (NIV)

World Changer: In the book of Romans it is taught to us to live the way God wants to contribute to peace and mutual edification (Romans 14:19).
We, the ones that God’s children by our faith in Jesuschrist, have the responsibility that our thoughts, words and actions glorify God’s Kingdom and give life to all those that walk around us, because to that we were called, to go to all nations making disciples and baptizing them in the Name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, so that they may be won for Christ and for His Kingdom (Matthew 28:19-20).
*We need to live to please God and that the strength that we have received in Christ allows us to speak words that help us endure the weaknesses of the weak, because our Christianity is not about pleasing ourselves but God, and being a blessing to others to build their lives for His grace.
We serve a patient God and that comforts all those who come to Him with repentance and sincerity of heart, therefore we have in Christ this same feeling so that in what we help to build the lives of others, we also glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 15:3-7).
May our words be of consolation and encouragement, proclaiming that Christ wants to receive the broken and lead him to the glory of God.
Today is your day so that your life can also be built on Christ and receive salvation and eternal life if you confess all your sins to Him and of course repent of them (Romans 10:8-13).
May the grace of God allow in us that Christ is always our hope of glory and our victory to change the world (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

Let us pray to receive wisdom from God

/0 Comments/in /by

I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
Ephesians 1:16-17 (NKJV)

World Changer: Let us bless God our Father for having chosen us as His children, having been predestined to receive that adoption through faith in Jesuschrist, according to the pure affection of His will.
*Let us praise and give glory to God for His grace, by which He has forgiven us and sanctified us, through the life of Christ dwelling in our hearts.
Jesus has made us to abound in His grace and He also wants to fill us with wisdom and intelligence so that we give faithful testimony in our call as born again Christians, so that many souls may be saved.
Apostle Paul in his letter to the Ephesians, from the first to the last chapter, makes us a tremendous challenge so that we can deepen the reading of the Bible, to understand the magnitude of the promises and riches that God has given to all who are saved in Christ Jesus. Therefore we have to take advantage of every hour of the day to tell God to reveal Himself to us more and more, because we will realize in heaven all this spiritual wealth that we read in the Bible and that God has placed in our hands to be light in the midst of a generation that is going through darkness. (Ephesians 2:1-3).
Let us give thanks to God for the privelege that has placed in our hands and let us preach the Gospel because Jesus said: and this gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world as a witness to all nations and then the end will come (Matthew 24:14).
Today is your day of salvation so that you also receive the promise that Christ 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 life without selfishness

/0 Comments/in /by

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.
Philippians 2:3 (NIV)

World Changer: This has to be the heart of a born again Christians that has turned into a disciple of Christ. That is how the Apostle Paul teaches us when he explains that we should live consoling ourselves in love and in communion with the Holy Spirit, full of mercy with our neighbor, walking with joy and proclaiming the love of God, unanimous with one another, participating in a spirit of humility and meekness.
Because that is the legacy that Jesus left us during His life here on earth, showing how great His love is for us that He stripped His form of God and came as a servant similar to men and being a man continued to humiliate Himself and made obedient to death on the cross of Calvary. Therefore God His Father raised Him from the dead and gave Him a name above all names, so that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven, on earth and under the earth.
We also if we proclaim ourselves children of God, we have to strip ourselves of all sin and pride with which we come to the feet of Christ, and the only way is by dying on the cross and allowing His risen life to dwell in us to manifest in our testimony the character of Christ, who abhors selfishness and living for oneself.
*Only God’s grace can take us in that process of holiness, freeing us of the old man that is vitiated in sin and of course in the selfishness of this world, but for the love of God, He has made us free from our old life and our heritage of curse.
Today is the day of salvation (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.

Our love for brothers and sisters

/0 Comments/in /by

We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints; because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel. Colossians 1:3-5 (NKJV)

World Changer: It is a priority that God’s children live on their knees and with arms raised to heaven, praying without ceasing and giving thanks to God for the grace that saved us and that promises us eternal life in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ.
We must always recognize that it is a miracle that each one of us Christians who have been born again, God has separated us and chosen us from our mother’s womb, to be saved (Psalm 139).
*God’s children that were involved in crimes and sins, now because of our repentance and having believed in Jesus, faith in Christ led us to receive the abundant grace of God and today we are free from the chains of sin and kept by the holiness of Jesus Christ in us (Romans chapter 5).
For all these miracles that God has worked in us and even because He changed our hearts of stone and He placed His of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26-27), it is now that we can know the true love that believes all, suffers all and waits all, supports everything, and does not rejoice in injustice, but rejoices in the truth that is Christ and that is the love that God has placed in us to love our brothers and is also a fruit of the Holy Spirit by the grace of God in us. (1 Corinthians 13:1-7)
Today is your day of salvation and of God declaring you His son or daughter if you give yourself to Christ today (Romans 10:8-13).
Christ in us our hope of glory and our victory to change the world (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

Be attentive to God’s voice

/0 Comments/in /by

Turn at my rebuke; Surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you. Proverbs 1:23 (NKJV)

World Changer: We need to love God’s Word to be able to examine it because that will produce a new life in us and will leave behind our rebelious attitude with which we came to Christ.
All Proverb 1, we must study it and today we will focus to what God says: because He cries out in the streets, at the gates of the city, so that the simple and mockers stop mocking, and that is why He invites you to listen attentively to His voice. But if God calls and no one listens and extends His hand and no one attends, He warns us that sadly there will be calamity and there will be nothing to stop it, because it will be like a whirlwind and then even if they look for Him, He will no longer answer and they will not find Him either, because it is the fruit of hating His wisdom and not wanting to listen to the advice of God, nor have reverent fear of Him.
We must not lend our ears and listen to advice that is against the Word of God, or even covet the prosperity of fools, because that will corrupt us.
But he who listens attentively to the voice of God, will dwell confidently and will live peacefully without fear of evil because he received the Word of God and put it inside his heart and decided to be attentive with his ear to the wisdom and prudence of the Most High (Proverbs 1:20-32).
*Under no reason we want to listen to what does not build because God wants a people that loves, honors and obeys Him and His grace will always be available for everyone who has faith in Jesus. He who surrenders to Christ will live like those who dream and will not fear any evil because God will fight his battles and deliver him from all his enemies.
Today is your day of salvation if you give yourself to Jesus so that He may be your hope of glory and your victory to change the world (Romans 10:8-13, Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.
