A Time To Laugh!







Apostolic FUN time :


A Sunday School teacher asked her class why Joseph and Mary took Jesus with them to Jerusalem . A small child replied: "They couldn't get a baby sitter."

_______________

At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs. Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and said, "Johnny, what is the matter?" Little Johnny responded, "I have pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife."

_______________

Two people were working for the city public works department. One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind him and fill the hole in. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one man digging a hole, the other man filling it in again.

An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing. So he said to the hole digger, "I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting into your work, but I don't get it – why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?"

The hole digger wiped his brow and sighed, "Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today the man who actually plants the trees has called in sick..............

Today's Generation Apostolic Creed










Greetings Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ!

Note : "Came across this which was written by a young African who was martyred for his faith. Published on 2009-04-26." This was sent to me by a woman of God and I felt led to share this with all of you my dear friends.

The Creed of a Bold Jesus Follower

I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed, the die has been cast, I have stepped over the line, the decision has been made I'm a disciple of Christ!

I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure! I'm finished and done with the low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, worldly talk, and dwarfed goals.

My face is set, my course is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear.

I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won't give up, shut up, let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up for the cause of Jesus Christ.

I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till everyone knows, work till He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no trouble recognizing me because my banner will have been clear.

With this kind of resolve we will, with God's help, have the strength to survive against our cultural stream, or perhaps even reverse it.

Of course, we are a minority, but armed with the promise of God we can have a spiritual impact that is greater than our numbers might suggest. It may come down to a simple question: "Are we willing to pay the price?"

Do you believe this creed with all your heart?


Much Blessings,

Abraham Israel

Positive Inspirations




Wise Words For Positive Living 






When Snake is alive, Snake eats Ant. When Snake is dead, Ants eat Snake.
Time can turn at any time.
Don't neglect anyone in your life.

Never make the same mistake twice,
There are so many new ones,
Try a different one each day.

A good way to change someone's attitude is to change your own.
Because, the same sun that melts butter, also hardens clay!
Life is as we think, so think beautifully.

Life is just like a sea, we are moving without an end.
Nothing stays with us,
what remains is just the memories of some people who touched us as Waves..

Whenever you want to know how rich you are?
Never count your currency,
Just try to Drop a Tear and count how many hands reach out to WIPE that - that is true richness.

Heart tells the eyes “See less, because you see and I suffer lot”.
Eyes replied, “feel less because you feel and I cry a lot”.

Never change your originality for the sake of others,
because no one can play your role better than you.
So be yourself, because whatever you are, YOU are the best.

Baby mosquito came back after 1st time flying.
His mom asked him "How do you feel?"
He replied "It was wonderful, Everyone was clapping for me!"

Now that's What a Positive Attitude is.

Our Father God Is Bigger Than Our Problems We Face




The Revelation of My God and My Father





One of the greatest truth to be revealed out of the Holy Scriptures to a believer is, God loves us as much as He loves Jesus. Hear the very own words of Jesus who said, "I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me." (John 17:23). In other words, Jesus himself has prayerd the above words as a prayer to our Father in heaven to make the heart of believers His temple through the Holy Spirit, so that the perfection of God's love and life coming out of us through this interpenetration with God might become a testimony to the world that Jesus has truly been sent by God and that through Him the love of God will be shared to all men who believe Jesus and become one with God.

The greatest priviledge we have in this earthly life as a believer is to call God as our Father. During the Old Testament times, if anybody called God as his Father, they would stone him to death. Nobody had such priviledge in this life. Even Jesus during his ministry time, when he revealed to the Jewish people the truth about God becoming their Father, they became angry against him. Once a person reveals himself as the Son of God, they considered it as making himself at par with God (John 5:18). To the Jews this is blashphemy against God. But Jesus was really the Son of God who did finally describe his real identity as the "I AM" to the Jews, who is nobody other than their Jehovah God of Abraham their Father. These Jews who saw Jesus as just a man one among them, but failed to understand the supernatural origin of his virgin birth (Matt 1:18-23, 25), took up stones to throw at him. But Jesus supernaturally hid Himself going through the midst of them because of God's power acting through him (John 8:53-59). Even in our times because of lack of belief in the word of God, many have no understanding of Jesus as God Himself in the flesh. This is actually the work of the spirit of Antichrist to make people deny Jesus as the Son of God in the flesh, and as a result of it make them continue to live in the darkness of Satanic Kingdom which will make them to be destroyed in the end without God (1 John 4:2-3).

Jesus after His death, got resurrected and triumphantly declared to Mary the following golden words, who actually came in search of his dead body in the tomb but was exhilarated to find Jesus. There Jesus said to Mary, "...“Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’”" (John 20:17). Dear saint who is reading this, are you not as exhilarated as Mary was, you must be because this is the first time Jesus was expressing that God who has been His Father and God has become ours too. Jesus has spoken the phrases "your Father" and "your God" seperately many times during his God ordained ministry days on earth (Mark 12:30; Matt 6:6), but together Jesus bridged "your Father" and "your God", and spoke to us together only after he died for our sins and justified all of us who believed him before God (Rom 5:1; John 20:17). Having become justified through Jesus, in others words having become just as if we have never sinned before the eyes of God, we have become God's children forever. O what a priviledge!

Because God has become our Father now, we can understand Him and call Him as our Abba Father or Daddy God. The Holy Spirit who has been sent by Jesus in to our heart is already making us to dare call our God as our Daddy (Rom 8:15). We can share all our problems that are trying to clog our mind to our heavenly dad daily. For example, pets, marriage, unemployment, fear, car stuffs, finances, parents, cancer, anxiety, family, children, moving to a new location, nothingness or a sort of emptiness we feel in your soul, relationship gone haywire, death of loved ones, pergnancy of your spouse, retirement and the feeling of worthlessness that comes with it, divorce and its pain, worry that makes you tensed up, loneliness because of lack of friends, weariness because of ill health, betrayal from friends who have suddenly turned in to foes, foreclosure because of lack of income and illness because of some incurable disease can all bring so much mental pain and agony to any one who lives in this earth without the assurance and strength that can lift the child of God to a heavenly hope and makes them receive a joy of God's Presence in to their heart because of God's love towards them. So if you have not yet dared to call God as your Father, just say to Jesus to come in to your heart and thank Him for forgiving all your sins. Then make it a habit to give all your problems to daddy God in heaven who is in the buisness of solving all the problems of his children (Psa 34:17). To those who are unable to speak to our Daddy God because of all your extreme pain, just remember to say, "MY GOD IS BIGGER THAN ANY PROBLEMS I FACE." Before you realize, a new strength of heaven will quicken you and make you look not to your problems which are temporary but to our Daddy who is our Father who gives the solutions to every problems we face. Our Daddy God changes our situations or else changes us though our situations. Whether our God and Father changes us or the situation, remember it is all for our good that he allows it in our life. I said He allows because OUR DADDY GOD IN HEAVEN IS NOT ONLY BIGGER THAN OUR PROBLEMS BUT HE IN THE ONE IN CONTROL OF IT. So through the situations, the heat of the trial cannot go out of control because the supernatural thermostat is in our Daddy God's hand!

Jesus Christ Is Risen!



Happy Resurrection Day!!!






This day our Lord has risen;
Praise be to His Holy name.
The hell is forever doomed;
Because MY LORD has won over death.

This day two thousand years ago;
Glory of the first born shone through.
The Creator rang the death knell;
Because all powers of hell has lost.

This day a new dawn of heaven comes;
Hallelujah to the risen king.
All the heaven and earth bow down;
Because now MY SAVIOR rules over all.

This day a new desire is given to receive;
Thanks to the resurrected king.
All can share the fellowship of His suffering;
Because through it may know Him and His RESURRECTION POWER!

BLESSED RESURRECTION DAY TO ALL MY FRIENDS, BROTHERS, SISTERS, SAINTS AND ALL THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH FAMILY AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!

Much Blessings,

Abraham Israel

His Death Is Your Blessing




Jesus Wants Your Heart, Not Your Sympathy




It is for our sins that Jesus died and rose from the grave. The blood made a new dawn of heaven's light rise up in all our hearts. The blood brought God's continuous eternal Presence to dwell forever in our hearts and WE HAVE BEEN MADE HIS TEMPLE now!!! GLORY! I PRAISE GOD THAT NOW WE ARE THE LIGHT TO THE WORLD BECAUSE OF THE LIGHT JESUS BROUGHT FORTH IN TO ALL OUR HEARTS. Jesus does not want sympathy for His death as many religious people make of Him, but he wants you to remember HIS DEATH as YOUR SIGN OF VICTORY OVER SIN, DEVIL AND THE WORLD. Rejoice, today is the day of victory! Much Blessings....

Shield of Faith Keeps You Blessed




Let Faith Answer Your Fear




The Bible says that faith is spiritual shield with which you will be able to quench all the fiery missiles of the Devil and his wicked demons (Eph 6:16). Above all other spiritual weapons, spiritual warrior apostle Paul advised all believers to start using this shield of faith.

Let us dig in and see why such a spiritually mature man like apostle Paul advises the believers to use the shield of faith against the spiritual foes of our soul. What is faith? Faith is the spiritual ability to hear the word of God and understand the voice of God speaking through it in to our everyday situation (Rom 10:17).

The word of God carries power to defeat the power of the lies of the enemy (Heb 4:12). The devil and his demonic minions have no power except the power of the lies which saps the spiritual power of God out of our heart and brings confusion in to our soul. The devil has a great resources of lies which he always uses as a missle to cancel the power of God which lies in standing in the truth of God. Even man made traditions has been conceived under the influence of religious spirits which were sent to nullify the power of the truth (Mark 7:13). Jesus Himself called the devil a liar and the father of it (John 8:44).

The cure for doubt and unbelief is faith in the word of God. When we receive the word of God and store it in our spirit-man through the help of the Holy Spirit (Heb 10:15-16), the Spirit of God will use it as a sheild of faith and will also use the same word also as a sword to attack the devil through our confession of the word of God through our mouth in to the problematic situations we face daily (Eph 6:17). Sheild of faith is used to win the internal spiritual war inside our mind. When we face unbelief through some one externally whom the devil uses to speak to us, we use the sword of the Spirit to oppose and destroy the unbelief spoken against us. The shield of faith is a spiritual thought of God that keep our minds in the blessedness of God by destroying the lies of the enemy and unbelief of the devil that tries to creep in to our mind, the sword of the word is the spoken word of God that keeps the devil out of the area where we are present.

For example, a bird can fly over our head and we cannot do anything about it. But it is our fault if we allow that bird to build a nest upon our head. In the same way, doubts coming in to our mind is a natural thing because of our inherent sin nature with which we are born. But if we do not know the word of God to ward off the doubts and unbelief that comes from within us (Mark 7:21-23), it is our problem that we have developed because of our spiritual laziness. Once we are lazy, Satan will build a nest of lies in our head to sit and mislead us in to confusion, fear and spiritual inactivity which results in atrophy. Using the sword of the Spirit is like giving a bird scare to the devil even before he could come in to our mind.

Faith is a spiritual thinking that we develop in our mind that acts as a sheild and wards off the unbelief of the thinking of the world and the voice of Satan automatically. THE MORE WE THINK BASED ON THE WORD OF GOD, THE LESSER THE DEVIL WILL HAVE SPACE TO PROMOTE HIS LIES WHICH PRODUCES UNBELIEF TO SETTLE IN OUR MIND.

Depression is a hopeless thinking of unbelief, fear is the result of such hopeless thinking. When we discipline ourselves to hear more and more of the word of God, these depressive curses of the evil one will flee from us. Faith rejoices and sings of the victory over evil depression even before the light of God dawns in our soul. Living by faith makes us progressively swim in to the deeper spiritual zone of rejoicing in the Lord (Php 4:4). Faith thinking helps us replace the thoughts of unbelief, half truths and lies with the truth of the word of God which brings the joy of heaven continiously in to our soul irrespective of our circumstances.

From today take a strong resolution to live by faith and be a righteous person in the sight of God (Heb 10:38). IF WE DESIRE AND CHOOSE TO LIVE BY FAITH, GOD HIMSELF WILL BECOME PLEASED TO BECOME OUR SHIELD OF DEFENSE AGAINST SATAN AND HIS DEMONIC COHORTS THAT WORKS AGAINST US TO DESTROY OUR GOOD LIFE WITH GOD (PSA 84:11).

Enjoy your journey with God!!!

"When fear and unbelief knocks the door of your heart, allow faith to answer and see victory over its evil influence." — Abraham Israel
