Celebrating Resurrection Sunday He Paid It All For Us

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:16-17

I am so thankful God so loved the world that He sent His only son Jesus to die for the world. This means whoever you are and wherever you are on the globe, Christ died for you. He died once for all.

This Easter Sunday let us reaffirm in our heart that Christ died for all. Its time to move away from focusing our attention on the outward adornment, or which church has the best choir and which church is more prestigeous. Instead let our focus be the cross and the price Christ paid for you and me, to reconcile us back to the Father. As I write this, I want to cry, because we, who say we know Him, take  lightly that Christ died for the world. We tend to want to keep our head in the sand and say my four and no more and that the world is too far. I have news for you, the world has come to dwell among us. They may not look  like you and speak a different language. Their customs and faith may be different, but it does not change the fact that Christ died for all. Someone who did not look like me told me about Jesus and it changed my life.  The message of the cross is powerful and it is not subject to boundaries, customs, race or nationality.  The message of the cross is life changing and we who have experienced this change must not be afraid to share it with the world. We are Christ ambassadors to the nations around us and far from us. If you can't go, pray. Stand in the gap by your prayers. The fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much, (James 5:16). Lets get back to being people who believe the word of God, speak the word of God and live by the word of God. Let this Easter Sunday awaken in us that God so loved the world and  whosoever believes in Him and lives for Him become His children.

Christ death on the cross and His resurrection from the grave purchased our salvation
and so much more. We received healing for our body when His body was beaten and bruised, (Isaiah 53:5).  We have access to the throne of grace and can come boldly to our heavenly Father, (Hebrews 4:14 – 16). We received the spirit of adoption making us joint-heirs with Christ, (Romans 8:15-17) and are saved from God’s wrath (Romans 5:9). He paid it all for us, the world.
Whether you attend church or fellowship at home, celebrate our risen savior with praise and thanksgiving. Our God, who is a Good Good Father and perfect in all of His ways, is worthy of all praise, all honor, and all glory.

Miriam

Miriam was the big sister of Moses. Her name (sometimes rendered as Mary in English) means 'bitter' although it could also signify 'one who loves or is loved by Yahweh'. Yahweh means 'the self-existent one'. Yahweh is one of the ways the children of Israel referred to God. Meet the family Amram and Jochebed were the father and mother of Miriam, Aaron and Moses. Moses was the youngest of the three yet became the leader of the pack (Exodus 2:3-4; Exodus 6:20; Numbers 26:59). Moses was the man who led Israel out of Egypt. As the big sister of the family Miriam knew all the secrets. Women often get to know about things that men don't. When Pharaoh of Egypt decreed the death of all Israel baby boys in a desperate attempt to curb the growth of Israel, Amram and Jochebed put baby Moses into a waterproof basket and set it on the river in an attempt to save his life. It was Miriam who was watching the basket when the daughter of Pharaoh discovered it. It w...

What Happen To Your Rulership?

My desire is for women to be restored to their rightful place of rulership of Grace, Femininity, Beauty, Temperance, and Excellence.  Together they work from within and shine outwardly. The enemy of our soul works counterclockwise in that he uses the exterior and destroys what is on the inside. There is a direct correlation between rulership and judgment.  In order to effectively rule, there must be the practice of sound judgment.  When rulership is void of sound judgment, a poor rulership is inevitable.  Rulership is a choice.  You can either rule or be ruled.  Walking in rulership is important because it sets order and establishes boundaries.  God (YAH) has given us rulership over our conduct, appearance, and speech.  These things have rulership over you by choice. Rulership is the difference between YAH's people and the world. Rulership is living the way YAH (God) intended for us to live before the foundation of the world. It is time ...

Deborah

Deborah was a prophet, a leader (otherwise known as a Judge) in Israel as well as the wife of Lappidoth (Judges 4:4).  Deborah means 'bee'. Bees are responsible for pollination of flowering plants. Pollination is what creates seeds that grow into other plants. One third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination of plants and bees play a major role in this 1 . The biblical Deborah, like a bee, fulfilled an active and vital role in bringing life to the community. Background After the death of Joshua, the man who had led the Israelites into the land of Canaan, God raised up Judges to lead and rule Israel. The first Judges God used were Othniel, Ehud and Shamgar (Judges 3). And then came Deborah. In Deborah's day Israel had no overall leader. Everyone did whatever they pleased and the nation fell into sin and were oppressed by the Canaanites (Judges 21:25). Jabin was the Canaanite king during the era of Deborah. Sisera was the commander of Jabin's...
