Unity

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called
 in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through
 all, and in all.          Ephesians 4:4-6

God created us in the image of Himself, to be like Him. He
 equipped us with gifts that we may glorify Him, the giver
 of all our gifts. In God's eyes we are the same; we are God's
 creation and His workmanship. All God's children are
 considered to be one body in Christ working in unity.

Risen

 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn
 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord
 descended from heaven, came and rolled back the stone from the door
 and sat on it. His countenance was like lightening ans His clothing as
 white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of Him, and became like
 dead men. But the angel answered and said to the women,"Do not be
 afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. "He is not here;
 for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
                                       
                                      Matthew 28:1-6


I believe God is saying, "Why seek the Jesus that was crucified for our sins?
"For all those that has accepted Jesus in their hearts, "He is alive and doing well.
"Even the grave couldn't hold Jesus, He arose with all power in heaven and on
earth. And the Lord is coming back just like He said He would. Will you
be ready when He comes to rapture His children in the air? For eye has not
seen nor ear has heard the things the Lord has for those that loves Him. As
children of God, we continue to walk by faith and not by sight. Let us continue
to watch as well as pray and wait on the Lord. And they that wait on Him their
strength shall be renewed. We will walk and not faint, because the Lord is with us
and He has said, "I am with you until the end."

The True God

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was
 over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God hovering
 over the face of the waters.      Genesis 1:1-2

I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land
of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no
other gods before Me.              Exodus 20:2

 The Lord is the true God;
He is the living God and the everlasting King.
At His wrath the earth will tremble.
And the nations will not be endure His indignation.
                  Jeremiah 10:10

God has made the earth by His power,
He has established the world by His wisdom,
And has stretched the heavens at His discretion.
When He utters His voice,
There is a multitude of waters in the heavens:
"And He causes the vapors to ascend from the
   ends of the earth.
He makes lightening for the rain,
He bring the wind out of His treasuries.
              Jeremiah 10:12-13

God's Reassurance

"Therefore thus says the Lord: "If you return,
 Then I bring you back,
 You shall stand before Me;
 If you take out the precious from the vile,
 You shall be as My mouth.
 Let them return to you,
 But you must not return to them.
 And I will make you to this
    people a fortified bronze wall;
 And they will fight against you;
 For I am with you to save you
 And deliver you, "says the Lord
"I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked,
 And I will redeem you from the
   grip of the terrible.  Jeremiah 15:19-21

When we follow God's promises in His words; He always delivers! God said, "that His word will never return void." God is able to save and deliver us, just like He did Jeremiah. "It's no secret what God can do; What He has done for others, He can also do for you." When we humble ourselves, turn from wickedness and return to the Lord. God will deliver us from evil and most of all save us until the end of time. Let us pray; Lord, thank You for this new day; thank You Lord for Your everlasting love and Your continuous mercy that you give to all. Continue to bless Your people all over the world. And continue to lead and guide us on the path to eternity. Forgive us, of all our sins, knowingly and unknowingly. In Jesus name amen.

He Is Risen

Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, came and rolled the stone from the door and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning, and His clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. But the angel answered and said to the women "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said, Come, see the place where the Lord lay.   Matthew 28:1-6

"Jesus accomplish His mission when He got up with all power in heaven and earth in His hands. And with that power we may live eternally with Him. Today, you have been given another chance to seek God first and His kingdom. You may also allow the Lord to direct your path and reside in your heart. Embrace the living God, for He is risen!!! Eye has not seen nor ear has heard the things the Lord has prepared for those that loves Him.

The Living God

All of my help comes from the Lord.
How can we ignore everything He has done,
 God created you and I, wonderfully;
In the likeness of Himself.
And you know God didn't stop there;
God gave physical and spiritual light to the world,
He even made the diamonds and the pearls.
 I've searched all around and can't find no one,
Like the 'Living God' that dwells in my heart.

 For the word of the Lord is right,
And all His works is done in truth.
He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
By the word of the Lord the heavens and earth were made,
And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
                   Psalm 33:4-6

The Beginning

By reading chapter 1 in Genesis; it states that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. God didn't stop there He also created the waters, land, vegetation, animals and people. All that was made is because of God. The earth was without form and void. God said, let there be light and light appeared. God saw that the light was good. God divided the light from the darkness; He called the light, day. And God called the darkness, night. The night and day was the first day. The world was created by God that we may be able to live in peace and harmony. We were also given a free will to make our own decisions. Will you embrace God's image?

Yes, God has a purpose for our lives. When we seek Him first, we allow God to reveal our purpose. To help us in our decision making and lead us on the path of all His righteousness. Knowing that we are not alone. God is our helper! It's no mistake or coincidence we are here today. Because in the beginning God created us for His own purpose; in His image. You have been given the opportunity to embrace 'God's Image.'

Let us pray. Thank You Lord for creating us in Your likeness; in the image to be like You. To be able to love and give like You. Thank You God for peace and understanding. And most of all, I thank You for dying for all our sins That we may live eternally with You. Lord, allow Your Holy Spirit to manifest in our lives this day. That You Lord, may direct our paths and reveal the purpose You have for our lives. I pray that we will live to please the Creator of all things. My Savior, my Lord; my Redeemer, in Jesus name I pray amen.
