WE ARE CHRIST'S FRAGRANCE...

The Bible says we are the aroma (fragrance) of Christ. Let's spread that fragrance around!

2 Corinthians 2:15, : For we are to God the aroma of Christ, among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

He will calm the storm...




Calms the storm.jpg

Hi...
*¨* When God promises something..He will do it! But sometimes our miracles are delayed.
Jesus promised His disciples they will go the other side and in spite of the storm and delay they did reach the other side!
*¨*But Jesus allowed them to strain and row through the storm that was against them. (48 Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them.)
*¨* REMEMBER WHATEVER MAY COME AGAINST US, IF WE PRESS ON WE WILL PASS OUT VICTORIOUS!
Jesus saw His disciples struggle in the storm(Mark 6:45-52) and didn't rush to them but waited for the right moment.
*¨* Why does God sometimes wait for the 11th hour, till all our money runs out, all doors are closed and pain lingers? Does He not care? O surely He does, when the disciples were in midst of the storm, He was praying and He does the same today! We need to just press on and keep moving. God will show up!
Mark 6: 45 Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away. 46 And when He had sent them away, He departed to the mountain to pray. 47 Now when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone on the land. 48 Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea, and would have passed them by. 49 And when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed it was a ghost, and cried out; 50 for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and said to them, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.” 51 Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled. 52 For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened.
*¨* Delays are not denial, life is not free of storms either but we have the blessed hope that our Lord's in control and He will show up and bring peace..:)
*¨* Many times in our lives we find ourselves rowing in midst of a storm. We may have to pay bills and may have no money, we may be in pain and find no relief. But our attitude in midst of the storm matters. 
*¨* Let's not delay our miracle by murmuring, complaining, harboring bitterness, unforgiveness, impure thoughts, grudge but let us keep the lamp of hope burning in midst of life's storms.
Our help will come from our God Himself, the maker of heaven and earth.
Psalm 121: 1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.


God Bless,
