Power 2.0: Doing the Impossible

God has spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs unto God. -Psalm 62:11

God, Sovereign, unbound by no rules, has done what you and I can never do. By making His Son Jesus to die for our sins, He has shown HIS great power.

It is the most impossible feat; the most Holy and blameless person who walked this earth took the place of the most sinful and unrighteous men, as He took on the sins of all the world upon His shoulders. This was to make us, we who revelled in our uncleanness, blind and oblivious to our sorry state, become perfect in God's sight.

And why does this show His power? It is because it is a work that not even the strongest, most zealous, enthusiastic person can dream of achieving. It is because it is a work that transcends time and will carry on into eternity. It is because it is a work that no one can dispute, no one can stand against it. God planned and He did it, and no one can come in the way of what He has achieved.

So, by God through Christ, we have been brought to God; no longer candidates of His wrath and now recipients of His eternal life. Reconciled to God.

Who can stand in the way of what He has done? Who can take the glory? God alone has purchased for us the highest good--Himself--paying with the Highest price, Himself.

Psalm 106:8: Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known

Matthew 6:13: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

May God, by His great power, keep us trusting in His great power till the very end.

Love,

The Cold Within

It's a cold day. Wrapped up warm, ready for bed, I was thinking about what my plans are for tomorrow. There's a lot of following-up to do from today, and the thought of the work waiting for me tomorrow almost sends me to sleep an hour before my scheduled bedtime. But I regularly do some reading before bed, and today, I have come across an article by Jon Bloom on Desiring God . It is about Robert Chapman, a relatively unknown leader, however, one of great reputation. His legacy of love was outstanding and Charles Spurgeon referred to him as the saintliest man he ever knew. So what does this have to do with being cold? I looked at my life after I read of his. I realised that although my intentions are to love like Jesus commanded ( John 13:34 ), I seldom go out of my way for others. Rarely do I choose the interests of others before mine ( Philippians 2;4 ). Slowly, in harsh conditions, the heart becomes a cold heart of stone. Age and experience have bred cynic...

Prologue- Memoirs of A Skilled Hunter

Dawn was drawing close. The gentle breeze came as a consolation, symphatising with the wild for bearing with the downpour that befell the night. This time, the predator walked along an unusual path, the rays of sun bouncing off the shy green of wet leaves providing a source of illumination to its glowing eyes. It had spotted prey and now it was calculating the next move... I hadn't seen her in ages. I watched intently as she made her way towards me, her hips swinging graciously from side-to-side, her movement emphasized by the frills on her flowery gown, accentuating her hourglass figure. It's been 10 years since I last saw her and it seemed every part of her body, visible to my eyes, had been renovated in heaven time and time again. She had become much more attractive, she was beautiful. The predator studied its prey. Well-hidden by the shadows cast by the tall fruitless trees, it was being careful. Avoiding every broken b...

Anxiety's Antidote

I found myself fretting about a LOT of things last week. There were bills to pay, deadlines to meet, relationships to build all in a world where each day is filled with uncertainty. The fear of the future got to me like it had never before; I was drowning in my worries about life. But GOD in His mercy heard me even before I prayed for help. I had only just started to notice that my fretting was becoming a problem when GOD spoke to me through His Son. He first reminded me to cast my anxieties on Him because He cares for me ( 1 Peter 5:7 ). I read that but it didn't really sink in. Then, the next day, He reminded me of His promises in Matthew 6:25-34: "Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?" The writer of the devotional stated, "Since your body and life are more complex and difficult to provide than f...
