Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
“Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.

My sins were traded for His righteousness, so God doesn't just see me as a sinner who has been
forgiven, but justified, just as if I'd never done those things!
What Christ did is Much Much greater in its extent than what Adam did.

John 16:33 "In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

Be transformed, God has more for your life, Forget the past.
Don’t let past successes stop you from straining toward what is ahead. God has more for you. Don’t live in the past. So many people never receive what God has for them today because they get stuck in yesterday!

The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the most monumental event of all times
Jesus Christ took full command of the destiny of mankind. Through faith in Him we are saved and receive eternal life.
1 John 5:4 NKJV And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

Colosians 1: 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

Because it was His house. This place has been separated for God’s presence, not for it to be a market. The church should never commercialise the gospel. It was bought at the price of the blood of the Lamb of God.

Heb 10:10–14 NLT For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time. 11Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins.

Pastor Mark Bredenkamp shares on The Divine Qualities of Covenant. Of one thing we can be assured, God is with those who absolutely trust in Him and obey His Word without compromise. However, by letting go of His Rock-solid Word we give the devil an open invitation to take over. Knowledge of the Word; obeying that knowledge; faith in the Word, and living according to the Word leads to blessedness. Do not complicate the situation, but take God?s Word at face value, keep it simple.

So many people have lost heart, simply because they do not understand the goodness of God, His loving-kindness, and all His guaranteed benefits toward them. Psa 103:1?5 [NKJV] Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle?s.

Behind all creation is its CREATOR and the WORD OF TRUTH. GOD?S Word is the manifestation of ABSOLUTE TRUTH in all circumstances.
Eph 1:13 NKJV In Him you also trusted, after you heard THE WORD OF TRUTH, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.

Genesis 37 v 5 Joseph had a dream , it was not an easy road from dream to fulfillment. If you submit your life to the will of God He will bless you. You may have challenges ,become exhausted with walking one day at a time , hold on , hold on to your dream, your dream is your prophetic statement. Don't let your background and experiences affect your dream, Let your stumbling blocks become your stepping stones .

Abraham Father of Faith had to wait 25 years before he received his promise. He faced the impossible but held on to a promise that God gave him. He believed that God would stay true to His promise even though all odds were against him. Abraham is the example of how our faith should be ...

Faith is not focused on muscle power but on GOD?S POWER! Caleb had the temperament, mentality and character of a faith warrior who NEVER lost the vision GOD gave them. He saw Hebron before and he never forgot. He still wanted Hebron after another forty years of wilderness wandering. A visionary picture that didn?t die. He had the unwavering patience to wait for it. He had no doubt that he could conquer those giants he saw more than forty years ago. Faith lives! Faith keeps a vision alive. Caleb?s age never made him ineffective.

Giving is a deeply spiritual action, for it reveals our obedience to God?s Word. It is a surrender of our will and acknowledgement that God is our provider and above all it is an action of our faith.
We put faith in pension funds, life insurance, bank accounts, property investment, but we battle to invest in the greatest investment pay-out ever ? the financial Kingdom of God.

Luke 18:18-30 [NLT] Once a religious leader asked Jesus this question: ?Good Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?? 19?Why do you call me good?? Jesus asked him. ?Only God is truly good. 20But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ?You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. Honor your father and mother.?? 21The man replied, ?I?ve obeyed all these commandments since I was young.? 22When Jesus heard his answer, he said, ?There is still one thing you haven?t done.
