Blood or Wine

The Lord God who turned water into blood is the same Savior who turned water into wine. God's first act of public judgment against Egypt was turning water into blood. But our Lord Jesus' first miracle on record was turning water into wine, and it's about blessing a social event. How do I want my Miracle Worker to come to me, with a sword or with some sweets? I'd rather run to the Father of grace and mercy, live a holy life, and receive His bountiful blessings for me.

I choose not to be a wandering star. I stay in my orbit.

(Jude 1:13) The Lord God is my center, and this is expressed thru my local church. I evolve and revolve in and around my church family.

#2Kings3v17

For this is what the LORD says: You will see neither wind nor rain, yet this valley of vows, pit of payments, and ditches of debt will be filled with water and you, your responsibilities, and your other obligations will DRINK.

Our FATHER Prevents Infertility And Miscarriages

You are to worship the Lord your God, and He will bless your food and water. I will make sure none of you fall sick. No woman will have a miscarriage or be without children. I will make sure you live long lives. [ Exodus 23:25-26 FBV] A wonder of Worship: a God-given baby! What incredible promises! God commits to doing the following: - Bless our food and water to abundance - Remove sicknesses - Prevent miscarriages - Every married woman to have their own baby But these vows come with a call to action: To be in service to God. The word ‘worship’ in this text means ‘work’ and ‘serve.’ * So this is not your mediocre once-a-week, go-to-church Sunday worship. This is toiling for righteousness. It’s being a love slave to our kind and benevolent Master, Christ Jesus. In what capacity did the Lord ask you to serve Him? It’s not our own terms or personal preferences, but God’s choice. [see 2 Kings 17:25-28] How do you express your love to the Lord by helping His peop

My Top 3 Life Principles

Once, a scholar asked, “Mentor, which is the greatest principle of life?” The Master replied, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest principle. And the second is like it: 'Love others as yourself.' All life-giving principles are based on these two.” (see Matthew 22:36-40) Love God, Love self and others, and Obey God. This metonymy was derived from the Lifebook, the Book of Principles – the Holy Bible . Who has a better say on life principles than the Author of life Himself? King Solomon’s take was this: Fear God and keep His commands, for this is the whole duty of man . (see Ecclesiastes 12:13) So now, my Top 3 List of Life Principles is complete: Love God, Love myself and others, and Obey God. Life begins and ends with God. My life principle #1: Love God with all that I am. How do I love God? By spending time with Him. I have learned that God loved me first, and I just

R.E.L.I.G.I.O.N.

We all have religion, but we are not all religious. Just because we have a form of religion does not mean we are spiritual - even atheists have a devotion, a denial of deity. ( Psalm 14:1 ) A reputable dictionary 1 traces this relic of a word to Latin, having the meaning "obligation" and "reverence." It is like open ing a door to a room full of closed doors, an answer that stirs up a hornet's nest of questions: "Obligation to whom? Reverence for whom?" Help the helpless, and stay clean and free Research shows that the subject of religion and its derivatives appeared around the 11th century, like religio , religiun, religioun, and religare . 2 Furthermore, deeper etymology 3 brings it around the 5th century. We are now confronted with a realization: I s it the word itself, or the substance that it brings? The s pelling changes over time, and even definitions vary, but concepts and intentions remain. The big R is a sacred term, so

Our FATHER Heals Us Of Infertility

Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children. For God had made every woman infertile in the household of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife. [Genesis 20:17-18 NHEB] The Lord God is the True Healer of the Womb. In this chapter, it was wrong for Abraham to make his wife a shield to protect his own life by saying they're just siblings, and not as married couples. With this lie and outright deceit, the king of the land, Abimelech, took Sarah into his harem. As it was, God’s judgment had fallen over the land, affecting a lot of innocent people. For that period of time, the Lord's judgment was about infertility. The king wanted to increase his royal family, but the Lord did the opposite; He opposed it – all the women stopped getting pregnant. This was all because Abimelech took a married woman, and he was about to violate a marriage covenant sealed by God. But God is faithful; He didn’t let S

Being On God’s Side: The Nonpartisan Obedience And Submission of The Elect

My choice of candidate is only as good as when I vote. My vote is only as good as when it is counted. But when the tally comes, my choice is irrelevant – God decides who is king. Every person is to be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. (Romans 13: 1 NASB) Our future does not depend on the person who gets elected, but on the One who sits on the Throne. If God has already decided, then why do I need to vote? This sounds like the clay who talks back to the Potter, “Why did you make me this way?” [see Romans 9:19-20] Let’s admit it: Though we vote according to our conscience, our conscience is formed by information made available to us. We can only know so much about a candidate, but God knows all things. In choosing, our sense of compatibility and personal preference are at work. We like a certain candidate because we feel that we like something about them, or with what they have done, or p

Our FATHER Grants Us A Baby To Teach

I've chosen him so that he will teach his sons and their families to follow the way of the Lord by doing what is right and good, so that I, the Lord, can do for Abraham what I promised. [Genesis 18:19 FBV] The Lord does more than just fulfill His baby promise, He also plans ahead for these children and the generations afterward to be taught concerning the things of God. There is a proper way to worship Him, and that established structure is needed to be taught. The Sovereign Lord will always have His way. The God-given promise is not just for a baby, but to bless us entirely. The Lord can only accomplish this when we do our part to obey Him. God's wonderful covenant of blessings is a partnership with us; He can only complete His part when we have done our share of the promise. The parent is always God’s choice to teach their own kids. We lead by example. Our words of instruction lose their power when we don’t practice what we preach. God’s promises are conditiona

Our FATHER Can Easily Bless Us With A Baby

Then the LORD said, “I will surely return to you at this time next year, and your wife Sarah will have a son!” So she laughed to herself, saying, “After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?” And the LORD asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Can I really bear a child when I am old?’ Is anything too difficult for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you—in about a year—and Sarah will have a son.” [ Genesis 18:10, 12-14 BSB] Nothing Is Too Hard For The Lord This is the first time that God declared the statement “Nothing is too hard for the Lord,” and it involved having a baby. The Lord repeated Himself in this same way to Mary concerning Elizabeth’s pregnancy, and it was also about having a baby. (see Luke 1:36-38) It’s amazing to know that God measured His ability in this way – in the manner of granting babies. The Lord does not treat it lightly when we laugh at what He is able to do. For God to grant a baby is not a
