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.

Stay calm in midst of your greatest testing time...hold on to God's Word !


Jesus was calm in midst of His greatest and hardest testing time.
Jesus Christ our Lord was betrayed by Judas, now taken before Pilate for trial and was being questioned, accused by the chief priest and elders; jeered and booed by the crowd but He did not utter a word and stayed calm. 
 ▓▒░Matthew 27:12 When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer. 13 Then Pilate asked him, “Don’t you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?” 14 But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge—to the great amazement of the governor." ▓▒░
Wow! the governor was amazed when Jesus stood calm and did not even try to defend Himself!
When we find ourselves in such situations we tend to defend, debate, argue, back-answer and waste precious moments. It's better to be still and let God work on our behalf, fix us if we are wrong, lift our heads high when we are right!
He is the Glory and the Lifter of our heads!
He will shield your head in the day of battle ▓▒░Psalm 140:7 "Sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer, you shield my head in the day of battle."
Have a blessed day!!!

Be silent..wait patiently..in His time you will receive what He has prepared for you!




There is nothing good about us apart from the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 
Anything good that we are or hope to be or anything we hope to receive is only through Him. 
Let us wait on Him and for Him to meet our needs and give us the desires of our hearts according to Hi will! 
His timings are perfect.
Be blessed,
Julia

Warrior’s Declaration!! ~Author Unknown~

Warrior’s Declaration!!
~Author Unknown~


I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
I have Holy Spirit power.
The dye has been cast.
I have stepped over the line.
The decision has been made. I am a disciple of His.
I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.

My past is redeemed.
My present makes sense. My future is secure.
I’m finished and done with low living, sight walking,
small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams,
tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap fixing.

I no longer need preeminence, position, promotions, or popularity.
I don’t have to be recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded.
I now live by faith, lean on His presence,
walk by patience, lift by prayer, labor by power.

My face is set. My gait is fast. My mission is clear.
My goal is Heaven. My road is narrow.
My way is rough. My companions few.
My Guide reliable.

I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured,
lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed.
With God’s help I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,
hesitate in the presence of the adversary,
negotiate at the table of the enemy,
ponder at the pool of popularity or
meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won’t give up, shut up,
let up until I have stayed up,
stood up, prayed up, paid up, and
preached up for the cause of Christ.
I am a disciple of Jesus.

I must go till He comes, give till I drop,
work till He stops me, preach till all know; and
when He comes,
He will have no problem recognizing me.
My banner will be clear!!!

Our Final destination....


Hi...
~~If we know Jesus as our Savior we also know we on a journey, walking a narrow path and one day will stand before Abba Father in Heaven.
¸.♥John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
~~As long as we live here we are to serve our Lord and use our talents for His Glory.
~~Sometimes we look back at wasted opportunities to serve God.
Instead of looking back, we can start right now to live as Christ wants us to live.
~Let's not waste our time in useless pleasures.
~~When we come to the final hour and stand face to face with God, we will regret for so many hours wasted in self gratification.
~~Let's faithfully serve our Lord.
¸.♥1 Corinthians 15:58 "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord."
~~Yahweh is our judge, He is our rewarder and He also fights our battles, take care of our every need and concern when we get busy serving Him.
~~Our destination is Heaven, we are just pilgrims here on earth. Let's fix our eyes on our Savior and follow Him.
Be blessed..

Shun not the struggles...face it...overcome it!



Hi..

Another year has passed by and we are in a new year. Wish each of you a very blessed and a wonderful New Year! May God's greatness touch every area of your life and that of your family!
Last year has been really good for some, Praise God for that!
But...for some the year has been really hard.
some of us have long-term battles in our lives and deliverance seems far of...
Some of us are in the verge of giving up on our dreams and hope... 
Some of us have spent hours in prayer and the enemy's onslaught seems to continue...
Some of us are too tired and weary, our hearts are sore...
BUT TODAY LET US CHOOSE TO DECLARE: 
 "We shall not lose heart.  We are confident that the One who reigns Supreme and sits upon the Throne (Jesus Christ our Lord) will eventually conquer and help us overcome. 
We will press on until our deliverance comes from our Lord..
He is the Glory and the Lifter of our head!
Let us encourage ourselves in the Lord and be strengthened in Him. This is not time to give up, but rise up and move on. We have hard work to do, loads to lift, miles to walk so let us shun not the struggle, face it, overcome it!
Let us stand up, speak out, and bravely, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord. 
Let us be strong and not give up! It matters not how deep-entrenched the wrong, how hard the battle goes, or how difficult the situation is, we need to press on and faint not, fight on and not quit! The night will end and day will dawn, our deserts will bloom and our breakthroughs will come!

Let us call forth the things that are not...as though they were.
Awaiting a financial breakthrough? Let us call in our finances in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. It is written (Isaiah 45:3) “And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD, which call you by your name, am the God of Israel.” 
Therefore let us command the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, to arise and locate us. 
Let us proclaim the WORD OF GOD over and into our life and those around us and over every situation we face! THE TRUTH IN THE SCRIPTURE IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH! No enemy or demon can mess with that!
If our visions are clear and in alignment with God's Word, our virtues are right victory is certain. 
As we walk through this year, may God help us to be salty saints, presenting the salty gospel of a vibrant, living Savior to a world desperate for His preserving, redeeming power.
Have a super blessed year!
In Christ's love,
Julia
