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.

God loves to work on a broken vessel


We who know Christ were all sinners, broken vessels but He saved us by Grace and made us new!
2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
In our Spiritual walk we stumble, fail, fall but every time we do if we call out to Him, He will pick us up and help us move forward! And we need to thank God for our family, brothers, sisters in Christ who pray us through our weak moments.
HE IS PERFECTING US DAY BY DAY, MENDING US, REFINING US.
1 Thessalonians 5: 23 "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it."
He's moulding and making us into a beautiful vessel of His choice.
He'll refine us in fire. He keep working on us so that the day we see Him, we will be like Him.
1 John 3:2 "Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is."
LET US BE YIELDED VESSEL IN HIS HANDS.
He is The Master Potter, we the clay.
"What the enemy has in his possession he scars because his only agenda is to steal, kill and destroy. But when possession change hands to the Master Potter, Jesus Christ gives a total make over. He knows how to use scarred people. When He gives a make over people will say, "Wow! What happened to you? Who did this to you?"_
Heard Pastor Jentezen Franklin say this on TV.
Be blessed,

God's Word is what matters....!


Hi ..
So often in life when we encounter failures and trials,
The enemy whispers " It's over, you'll never rise up
That's the end." 
But we need to remember satan is a liar, accuser and always speaks negative things.
 Our Lord say's we can rise up and move on, though we fall. We need to just call out to Him when in a difficult place, He'll be by our side to pick us up.
He'll never leave or forsake us.
So often the enemy whispers " you are good for nothing", "You are not good looking", "You are weak", "You can't do this", "you are useless" etc
But we need to stop listening to the negative, lying voice of the enemy & listen to the voice of truth.
God made each of us ....only He knows who we really are and His judgements are right! Let Him take over us and every situation we face....!
 Psalm 139:13 "For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
Let's stop looking at the situation that cause us concern and look up to our ALL MIGHTY GOD!!
Let's listen to His Word..the voice of truth!!

Be His Light!


Even if we can be a candle to someone faltering in the dark...or struggling to find the right way, we are still being the "Light", if we can offer a small word of encouragement to someone who's feels everything is over, we are still a 'light', if we whisper a prayer to someone who reaches out, we still are doing what God's called us to do...
Let us keep serving the Lord in little ways we can...
ROMANS 12:8
"If it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully."
He has asked us to be the "Light".
Light is not needed in an already lit up place.
Light is more needed to light up a dark place.
Shine on for ur Savior!

He is God of All...!


Our God is the God of hills and valleys...He is everywhere...! 
 1 Kings 20:28 "The man of God came up and told the king of Israel, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Because the Arameans think the Lord is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the Lord.’”
Our walk may not always be on level ground or on bed of roses.
We may not always enjoy mountain-top experiences.
We often walk the difficult path down the mountain, in the valley...
Let us not despise valley walks, we will sure hear God the loudest there and His voice will resound as it echos. 
Let us press on and not give up...but hold on to Jesus Christ, He is the glory and the lifter of our head!
He will never leave our side if we put our trust in Him.
No matter how difficult the path may be right now...if we walk with the Lord we will reach the right destination!
He will redeem us and give us honor...
Have a blessed day...

God comforts and gives us His peace...

In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul."Psalm 94:19 

Going through a tough, painful situation?
May the peace of God that passeth all understanding
fill your hearts today.
May His comfort delight your soul.
Let God take away all that keeps you away from peace...
He is the Prince of Peace!
Good Night,
Julia

In due season God will use you...


*When you feel you’re not being used, do not be dismayed, For God in His time, will raise you up. You are like an arrow waiting in the quiver, ready to be used.
*Your time will come one day. He will lift you up, send you out to destroy the works of the enemy and win victories for Him and then honor you and reward you..!
*He has good plans for you.
Good Night!!
Julia
Isaiah 49:1 "The Servant of the LORD 1 Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations:Before I was born the LORD called me;from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name.2 He made my mouth like a sharpened sword,in the shadow of his hand he hid me;he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver.3 He said to me, “You are my servant,Israel, in whom I will display my splendor.”4 But I said, “I have labored in vain;I have spent my strength for nothing at all.Yet what is due me is in the LORD’s hand,and my reward is with my God.”

May we.....


"May" the Lord meet each of us at the point of our need.
"May" we stand up to testify of His wonders!
"May" we find favor in His eyes.
"May" we see the impossible be made possible.
"May" we be candidates of uncommon testimonies.
"May" what we waited for a long time, be miraculously delivered to us in the name of Jesus.
"May" the anointing of God upon our life give us favour in the eyes of God and man all the days of our life.
"May" The Lord arise in any difficult situation that we may face and consume it with His Holy Ghost Fire,in the name of Jesus!
"May" each of us experience a miracle this day!
Exodus 16:7
"In the morning you will see the Glory of the Lord."
"May" we bask in His presence this day and Glorify God with our praise and worship.
"May" the Lord use us for His Glory this day and always.
Be blessed this day..

Despise not valley walks..


Our walk may not always be on level ground or on bed of roses.
We may not always enjoy mountain-top experiences.
We often walk the difficult path down the mountain, in the valley...
Let us not despise valley walks, we will sure hear God the loudest there and His voice will resound as it echos. 
Let us press on and not give up...but hold on to Jesus Christ, He is the glory and the lifter of our head!
He will never leave our side if we put our trust in Him.
No matter how difficult the path may be right now...if we walk with the Lord we will reach the right destination!
He will redeem us and give us honor...
So..let us choose to sing through the darkest night our deliverance comes from Him alone! 
"Sing, Daughter Zion;
shout aloud, Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
 Daughter Jerusalem!"(Zephaniah 3:14)

God...assigned to the sea its limit...


We Serve a Mighty God!
Proverbs 8:29 When He assigned to the sea its limit,
So that the waters would not transgress His command,
When He marked out the foundations of the earth, 
 Psalm 104: 9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over,That they may not return to cover the earth. 
Job 38:8 “Or who shut in the sea with doors,
When it burst forth and issued from the womb;
9 When I made the clouds its garment,
And thick darkness its swaddling band;
10 When I fixed My limit for it,
And set bars and doors;
Psalm 33: 7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep in storehouses

God gathered the waters together and called it sea....


Genesis 1:10
And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

Psalm 96:11
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;Let the sea roar, and all its fullness;

Psalm 8:8
The birds of the air,And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas.

 Psalm 69:34
Let heaven and earth praise Him,The seas and everything that moves in them.

There are times we need to be silent....


Jesus Christ our Lord was betrayed by Judas, now taken before Pilate for trial and was being questioned, accused by the chief pries and elders; jeered and booed by the crowd but He did not utter a word and stayed calm. 
Was so... blessed to read this...
 ▓▒░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!
Jesus stayed calm because the Holy Spirit controlled Him and His temperament.
Lord..Jesus..help us to be like You....!
Be blessed..
Julia

Only God can do this!

 
Only our God can change a heart of stone into a 

heart of flesh!

He says in..


Ezekiel 36:26

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit 

within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your 

flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

Be blessed,

Julia

It's not easy always...but worth it all...


It's not easy to walk the difficult path but our challenging times, painful moments, tears is going to be worth it all in the end, if our eyes our fixed on our Lord and if we keep up the faith. 
And let us keep the finish line is in sight!
Then we will one day be able to say like Paul:
2 Timothy 4:7
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
Abba Father....help us to press on. no matter how hard a situation we may be it.
May Your Spirit guide and lead us...
In the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen
