Successful home..


A successful home is one which has Jesus Christ as it's Lord and where He is given the 1st place and all honor.
A successful home is one that is fenced and hedged with prayer and the Blood of the Lamb.
May our Lord find His rightful place in our lives and homes....
Stay blessed...

One man+one woman=marriage



A young man of God asks,
"How can one believe that a person can be a Christian(Follower of Christ) while wantonly engaging in habitual sin; such as homosexuality, fornication, adultery in mind or body, the support in any way whatsoever of the murder of the unborn, or any other sin."


LET'S PRAY AND DO ALL WE CAN TO PRESERVE THE ONE MAN ONE WOMAN COVENANT RELATIONSHIP~
"MARRIAGE"
Our pastor always says..."God created Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve."
**1 Corinthians 6:9
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders.
**Jude 1:7
In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.
What we 'tolerate' we can never change!!
One Ronnie (a brother in Christ) writes
"if we, as Christians continue to "accept" that which we know to be an abomination in the eyes of God, where does it stop? 
Do we next also accept incest, blasphemy and finally murder? Why should we compromise our values and the teachings of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus just to accommodate roughly 2% of the population? 
Mankind advances while God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow for eternity. If it was sin in the beginning, it's still sin now. There is no compromise. I don't care if anyone disagrees with me or what they may think of me for my stance on this issue. I WILL NOT compromise and accept what I know to be a sin. When I accepted Christ as my savior I vowed to be as much like Him as I possibly can. This is what Christian means, Christlike."
May the Lord pour His love in our hearts so that we can pray and reach out in love and with the truth of His Word to those who feel rejected, unloved and struggle to be set free.
May the Lord bind and restore broken marriages, heal wounded relationships.
I like what Max Lucado writes, "It’s easier to talk about a person than to help a person. It’s easier to debate homosexuality than to be a friend to a gay person. It’s easier to discuss divorce than to help the divorced. It’s easier to argue abortion than to support an orphanage. It’s easier to complain about the welfare system than to help the poor.
It’s easier to label than to love.
Is that to say we should be unconcerned for doctrine or lax in a desire for holiness? 
Absolutely not."
 May we love like Jesus did to all who need His touch.
May prayers of children unite spouses who are in the verge of separation....

God bless...

God beginner of marriage...


If God is the beginner of marriage and home, there is a divine covenant present between the man and a woman in the institution of marriage called home.

May our relationship with our spouse be held with cords of Your love O Lord...

This picture says it all...
When the enemy is trying hard to destroy and break marriages, God's trying to restore, bind and heal relationships.

O Sovereign Lord Jesus Christ, help us to love our spouse freely & harbor no bitterness or grudge,
Help us to learn to forgive & forget when we are hurt,
And be quick to say 'sorry' when we hurt our spouse.
All this will come easy if Your love will rule & reigns in our hearts.

Be blessed,
julia

Stop and pause and be refreshed...


Hi...
Everyday we find there are so many jobs to do. No matter who we are, a professional, home maker, student  the chores seem endless.
But in midst of all the running around, we need to stop everything once in a while, sit back, deep breath and just do something to relax ourselves. Even if we are at work in office we can stop a while to feel refreshed. May be we can just sit or just stretch ourselves a bit, or sit back and sip a hot cup of coffee.
We can listen to some good music or just close your eyes a while. If you have a lovely view outside your window, sit by a while & look at the flowers, birds, enjoy the beauty around you, watch the kids laugh and play.
Doing too much and working for many hours without rest makes us feel physically and mentally stressed out, this causes physical ailments too!
Relaxing a bit sure helps to ease the work pressure and helps you get back to work with fresh energy.
Life is precious and so short, let's take time midst our busy schedule to relax a bit and be refreshed.
Do take time to enjoy God's gift of time, once in a while or you'll just miss the joy it brings.
Have a beautiful weekend.
May Our Lord Jesus Christ's presence refresh your mind and heart and make life worth living!
YSIC,
Julia

Hang on to what God thinks about you...

Hi...

It doesn't matter what people say or think about you.
What's important is what God thinks of you.
When people call you a failure or say things to discourage you, don't let it affect you. You'll always meet people around you who do not take time to see your heart but will be quick to judge, condemn,lie, magnify your faults & fail to see the good in you.
So, Look up to God. Remember He loves you the way you are. He never gives up on you.Your help comes from the Lord.
Even when you fail & fall,if you cry out to Him with a sincere heart, He will lift you up, dust the dirt off you and will help you do better. He's still working on you. You are His treasured possession. He'll not condemn you when you fail and turn to Him for help. He'll look past your failures & sin at your repentant heart & help you stand & walk with a renewed strength & confidence.
Better hang on to what God thinks & says about you. If you have back-slidden, failed or fallen in your spiritual walk, just call out to Jesus, He'll be by your side to lift you up.
Let not the people who rejoice at your fall & failures bother you. God will take care of them! He will not allow you to be put to shame. He will contend with those who contend with you.
But choose not to look back at the sin you left behind. Desire to walk holy before God and work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
As we walk with God, He will fight for us.
🍀Psalm 40: 14 May all who seek to take my life, be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin  be turned back in disgrace.
🍀Psalm 35:1, Contend, O LORD,
  with those who contend with me, fight against those who fight against me.
🍀Psalm 35: 26 May all who gloat over my distress be put to shame and confusion; may all who exalt themselves over me 
be clothed with shame and disgrace.
You can't avoid people misjudge you & speak ill of you but sure can choose to let God lift you up & make you stand on higher ground. Then one day the world will see that you find favour with God & that God's well pleased with you.
You are valuable to God, when He sees you He sees the price He paid for you, HIS SON. So your value is not in who you are or what you own but who you belong to.
So today will you choose to hang on to what God thinks about you?
Have a blessed day.
