IF I HAD KNOWN

 

 

 

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! I am encouraged to share the word of life at such a time as this. People of God there are times in life when we begin to ponder and regret certain actions and decisions that we would have made in life.

 

There are too many people today, who are regretting and worrying as a result of previous mistakes that have since put them in a tight and irreversible  positions.

The title of my message is: " IF I HAD KNOWN!" It may be too late to change and correct some issues of life.

 

The Bible says, " We, of course, have plenty of wisdom to pass on to you once you get your feet on firm spiritual ground, but it's not popular wisdom, the fashionable wisdom of high - priced experts that will be out - of - date in a year or so. God's wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes. You don't find it lying around on the surface. It's not the latest message, but more like the oldest- what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us, long before we ever arrived on the scene. The experts of our day haven't a clue about what this eternal plan is. If they had, they wouldn't have killed the Master of the God- designed life on a cross. That is why we have this Scripture text:No one's ever seen or heard anything like like this, Never so much as imagined anything quite like it - What God has arranged for those who love him. But you have seen and heard it because God by his Spirit has brought it all out into the open before you." ( 1 Corinthians 2:5-10).

 

The people who crucified Jesus Christ, did it out of ignorance and jelous, but many of them regretted later  after realizing that they had killed an innocent person who was a destiny helper. 

There are people who were accidentally married and now are blaming themselves and regretting because of what they are experiencing now in their marriages.

 

There are people who wasted their chances while  there was still time and opportunities and now they are suffering, due to previous bad influences and wasted chances.

 

Someone  right now is in a devastating state due to self imposed physical and spiritual challenges and they are saying, " If I had known," but it is now too late.

People of God let us try to make the right decisions and choices, before it is too late.

 

Remember. the scripture says, " ......your sin will find you out" ( Numbers 32:23)

Some decisions and things you do today, may be a challenge to your life tomorrow!

You may be there and you feel you have messed up in life, but God is saying, " Come as you are and let us reason together......" ( Isaiah 1:18).

 

The Lord is also saying, " Come all those who are heavy laden and they shall find rest.." ( Matthew 11:28-30).

Don't regret the Lord can give you a second chance to address your current challenges. 

 

You may have failed in your relationship and you are now stranded!

You may have messed up at your previous employment, and now you are in a desperate situation!  You may have entered into an agreement which has brought suffering in your family! 

 

You might have engaged in some inhuman and immoral activities which is now causing pain in your life.

You could have moved with wrong people who influenced and caused you to commit a crime and you ended up in trouble and lost your job.

 

Whatever, circumstance you are in, the Lord is saying, " Is there  anything too hard for me?

Nothing is too hard for God, because all things are possible with him who called us to his glory. ( Matthew 19:26, Colossians 1:26-27).

 

But I know there is still someone who is saying, " HAD I KNOWN OR IF I HAD KNOWN!"

Stop worrying and regretting, your issue can be addressed and changed in the name of Jesus!

 

May God richly bless you!

EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF THE RESURRECTION EVERY DAY

 

 

 

Greetings in the name of our living Messiah and Lord and  Savior, Jesus Christ! I am delighted to share the word of God after an exciting and awesome experience during the Easter celebrations!

 

Indeed He has risen with all power and authority for us to experience the same resurrection power everyday in our lives. The Bible  says, " He told the disciples,  "I have been given all authority in heaven and earth." ( Matthew 28:18 TLB).

 

The title of my message is: " EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF THE RESURRECTION EVERY DAY!"

 

The resurrection of Jesus Christ brings in new hope and a new beginning in our lives as Christians. The former things have passed and a new chapter has been opened for a new start in life. Forget about the former things and focus on the future and new start in life. ( Isaiah 43:18-19).

 

Christ's resurrection power has brought new life and a new beginning in our lives.  I just want to quickly mention that, the resurrection is more than just an event that happened once in history. It is the source of the power you can experience in your own life, everyday.

 

The same resurrection power that brought Jesus from death to life is available to you, if you tap into it, you will see an amazing transformation in your own life, too. The scripture says, "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us" ( Ephesians 3:20 KJV).

 

The resurrection  power is inside you as a born again Christian!

Here is how you can experience resurrection power every day:                                                        USE THE POWER NOW, NOT JUST IN HEAVEN.                                                                      

 

Your hope of the resurrection is not  just for the future when you physically die and go to heaven; it is also for now, while you are living on earth and struggling with sin.

Make use of that God -given power to help you overcome sin right now, and every day you are alive. Regularly  confess your sins, repent of them, and embrace the forgiveness and grace of God offers you to keep growing. ( 1 John 1:8-10). 

 

TRADE RELIGION FOR A RELATIONSHIP.           

Instead of pursuing hope through performing religious rituals, believing right doctrines, or doing good deeds, realize that those things are valuable yet can't produce hope.

Place your hope in a dynamic relationship with Jesus.

 

As you live for Him, relying on His resurrection power at work in your life, you will experience fulfillment of all God's purposes for you. Instead of focusing on what you can do for God, focus on what God can do through you.

 

The Bible says, "They will do things to make it look as if they are Christians.

But they will not receive the power that is for a Christian. Keep away from such people." ( 2 Timothy 3:5).

You need to live and experience the resurrection  power every day.                       

 

SET ETERNAL PRIORITIES.                    

Ask God to help you see your life from His perspective.

Look beyond the world's values  ( which are only temporary) to what has eternal value.

Base your decisions -for all aspects of your life - on what matters most in eternity.

 

Make the most of your time here on earth, keeping in mind that it will soon be over and you will be accountable to God for  how you used your time here. Know and set the right priorities in life as a Christian.

Colossians 3:2 says, " Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth."         

DIE TO SELF.                    

Remember that death must always precede resurrection.

Be willing  to sacrifice whatever selfish desires and agendas you have that conflict with God's purposes for your life.

 

Decide to crucify your selfish attitudes and behaviors, so that God will raise you to new life by transforming your attitudes and behaviors into healthy ones that will help you grow to be more like Jesus.

Understand that, physically, you are born and live until you die, progressing toward physical death. But spiritually, you are dead until you are made alive through a relationship with Jesus, progressing toward eternal life. ( Matthew 16:24, John 3:1-16, Galatians 2:20, James 4:10).   

 

EXPECT THE IMPOSSIBLE.                   

Just as the resurrection itself was impossible for anyone but God, the power  behind the resurrection will take you  into situations that are impossible for you to deal successfully with on your own. Expect God to challenge your faith when you ask for His resurrection power in your life, but know that if you trust Him, you will experience greater  adventures than you can imagine.  ( Philippians 3:10).           

 

EXPERIENCE RESURRECTION PEACE.                               

You do not have to live with guilt and shame because of the resurrection 's power to forgive your sins.

Ask God to flood your soul the peace of knowing that you are in a right relationship with Him. Recognize that if you are deliberately sinning against God,  you can't be in a right relationship with Him, so  deal with your sin so that it doesn't block  the  peace God  wants you to experience.

 

If you want to experience the peace Jesus offers, you must come to Him on His terms, being willing to live the way He leads you to live-the way that's best for you. Every  day, repent of your sins, so that you can enjoy true peace.  ( John 14:27, Philippians 4:6-7, Matthew 11:28).                      

 

EXPERIENCE RESURRECTION JOY.         

The freedom from sin and hope in Jesus that the resurrection produced brings great joy into your life. If you allow your constantly changing circumstances to control your life, you can easily lose  your happiness. 

 

But if you allow the Holy Spirit to lead you, you will experience joy, which will remain constant despite your circumstances.

Unlike happiness, joy is more than an emotion - it's the ability to see beyond your circumstances to the God who has ultimate control  over them, and always acts according to what's best for you. ( Nehemiah 8:10, Psalm 16:11).                  

 

USE YOUR RESURRECTION AUTHORITY.                 

Make full use the authority you have as a Christian to lead other people  to eternal life.

The greater power on earth is to see a person become born again. So, as valuable as it is to minister to people's physical needs, don't stop there. Share the Gospel message with other people as often as you can.

By doing so, you will be helping to release God's resurrection power into their lives.

 

Do your best to live faithfully to represent Jesus well.

As other people see God at work  in your  life,  they will be attracted to Him.

Every  day, continue to pursue  God passionately, and your passion for Him will spark the interest of others around you who can pursue Him themselves.  ( Psalm 42:1-2, Mark 12:30). 

 

EXPERIENCE RESURRECTION CONFIDENCE.                 

Since God is on your side, you can be absolutely confident in His love and you don't need to be afraid of what the future holds. 

Whenever you encounter trouble in this failed world, trust God to lead you through it and accomplish a good purpose in the process. 

 

Don't place your trust in anything lesser than God- like your family, your health, your job, your talents, your money, your husband, your wife or your friend.

Give your allegiance wholeheartedly to God, and you will experience confidence that can't be shaken by changing circumstances.( Psalm 118:6-10, Psalm 125:1-2, Psalm 20:7, 2 Corinthians 4:8-9).                               

 

EXPERIENCE RESURRECTION HOPE.                                  

Your salvation  means that you don't need to fear death.

Expect God  to fulfill all the promises He makes in the Bible, and trust those promises in your life. Don't let little life's petty annoyances weigh you down; realize that that they are irrelevant compared to your eternal reward in heaven.

 

Live with heaven in mind- pursuing  eternal values- and rejoice in the hope you can experience every day. ( Romans 5:3-5, Proverbs 3:5-6).    

Experience the Power of Resurrection  Every Day! You can live a victorious life in Christ's resurrection power  every  day. 

 

Whatever, has been dead in your life, I command it to be resurrected right now in the name of Jesus! Let the resurrection power, resurrect and resuscitate every area of your life that was dead, in the name of Jesus!

 

May God richly bless you all!
