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.

Rise up and march on....




Time to ..

Awake...Rise up ...March on...



Romans 13:11 "And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts."
It is sad to see so many people who call themselves followers of Christ, fast asleep in their spiritual lives. It is time to sound the wake up call. It is time to wake up, rise up, stand up and start moving ahead spiritually.
There is so much to do in the Kingdom, many lost souls to reach, and time is short. God's Word says, "Wake up you sleeper, rise from the dead and Christ will shine on you "(Ephesians 5:14) Here we see Paul appealing to the Ephesians to wake up and realize the dangerous condition into which some of them have been slipping. Time to awake and see what God is doing. We are living in amazing times. God's on the move looking our for people who are waiting on Him and seeking His face.
God is raising up an army of people who are passionately in love with Him, radically changed, filled with the Holy Spirit, move in the gifts of the Spirit, and boldly share the gospel in public places not fearing their lives. He is looking for fearlessly bold, passionately holy, physically set-apart, spiritually awake, mentally alert, upfront, and bold people, to go out and raise the dead, find the lost, bring in the back-slidden and resist every work of the evil one.
He is through with emotionally imbalanced, spiritually sleeping, compromising, double-minded, confused, beating-round-the-bush and sitting-on-the-fence Christians. Revelation 3:16, "So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth."
He is looking for people who will be on fire, those who have the desire to grow stronger and move higher in their faith. God's raising an army with those Satan thought he had killed and were left by the wayside! He is raising up the crushed, the scarred, wounded and the weak. They are rising from the ashes stronger, wiser, and ready to go out into battle once again in the Name of Yahweh-Jesus!
If we have slowed down or stagnated in our spiritual walk, we got to get up and get going. Its time we give up our constant spiritual highs and lows and desire for a strong relationship with the Lord! God's sounding the clarion call, "Awake O sleeper! Arise."
Are we ready to be a part of this army of God?
Let's not allow the enemy mess with us any more.
Our one and only enemy goes around the world 'like' a roaring lion seeking his next victim to devour.
Our one and only enemy is on the prowl to steal, kill and destroy,
He has nothing good in mind...
This sure is not a news that brings us joy...!
But we still have every reason to rejoice!
Because....however bad the enemy makes our situation looks like, know that God is surely 100% perfect!!! 


He is Bigger and Greater then our finite knowledge and finite plan--

As we grow up to trust in Him more, as our faith grows better every day in Jesus Christ our Lord, we will see the better and bigger plans God has for us!
Then we can lean on Him even when things right now does not look good...!
It sure gets easier with every step forward,,,
but sometime we slip and slid back too but when we have seen what God has for us we will climb back...with a renewed strength!
Our coming back can and will surely give HOPE to those who think "NO HOPE!"
Walk on...!
THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH!
JOY COMES IN THE MORNING!
THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD (not the devil) HAS MADE, WE WILL REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT
JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD IS THE GLORY AND THE LIFTER OF OUR HEADS..
So we can choose to sing through the darkest night.....
Have a blessed day!!
March on...
