“Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness” because a sacrifice has to be offered to receive freedom and salvation.

“Jesus had to sacrifice himself, His place and lofty life to give us life and a new beginning.
He made the ultimate sacrifice to give us the ultimate salvation
So, Jesus gave Himself to give us everything–life, freedom, salvation and eternal life.

Now, it’s your turn to make a decision on what you want to do with your life. I have seen that following God is the most enjoyable freedom I have ever had.

Yes, you are free from everything and yet free to be yourself without constraint. The only constraint in God is to do the right thing every time–that, I think, is not a constraint. So, make the right turn.

God does not forced His will upon anyone. He allows us to make our choices so that we do not have to blame Him for our mishap. God cannot and will not violate the free-will of man. Ability to make choices and decisions is at man’s disposal.

God often encourage people to do the right thing. It’s hard to know and interpret the exact thought that is in the mind of God. That’s why we need revelation. God reveals His thought to His own people. Revelation usually takes time to come to pass.

Generally, people seek God in times of trouble but you do not have to wait to build a relationship with God. It is wisdom to seek God.

God qualifies people to do His will. God communicated to people with respect to peculiarity of the time and season. So, what was not relevant 2000 years ago will be concealed. The same information will be communicated today because it is relevant with our time. This also applies to culture and values.

…..but deep inside the heart, the battle goes on forever because evil is constantly contesting with good.

We need the Grace of God to live a good life. No one is perfect. We are all fallible. It is God’s precious grace that separate a man from his peers.

Praying for grace is asking God to give us a gift we do not deserve.
It’s like praying for a condemned criminal to be saved.

God is gracious and merciful. He will, out of His mercy, do what we ask for.

I declare that “I will not die; instead, I will live to tell what the Lord has done.” Why? because the Lord is interested in my well-being.

Amen!

 

It is a good thing to be independent but becoming independent may lead to indifference and nonchalant attitude. It is important that the freedom we have does not cause grief in others and pride in us.

The bible warns that, “But you must be careful so that your freedom does not cause others with a weaker conscience to stumble.”

Use the freedom you have to benefit others while lifting people up and still living a meaningful life.

Success story does not happen easily. In fact, every success achieved usually requires a concerted effort.

To achieve your big dream in life, you might as well be prepared to take some risk and take some big steps.

The first step is very important. So, take a big step towards achieving and fulfilling your dream.

Remember, even God took one giant step when he commenced the creation of the world. And Jesus took the biggest risk when he offered to die on the cross.

Take your big step today and start something with your life. You can live a better life.

It is wisdom to overlook an offense.

It only causes more problem when you try to justify the need for an apology. If an apology is not forthcoming, move on. If you stay, more trouble is likely.

There is no stigma from an offense. Emotional grief may linger for a while, but it is wisdom to get over it.  Live your life today better than yesterday.

 

From Adelive, we wish all men A happy father’s day.

Thank you for being not just a man but a worthy man.

Prayer is a bargain— presenting a strong reason why your request has to be honored.

Prayers avert every evil plans and intentions of the enemies.

Every time you prayed, you bargain for your life using the name of Jesus. You bargain for souls using the name of Jesus.

The evil ones will not hesitate to do any harm but the moment you pray, even if the harm is about to happen, your bargain in prayer, using the name of Jesus, gives you victory.

There must be a strong reason why a thing happened at all. When you pray, you present a stronger reason why it must happen or not happen.

Actually, you can refuse the wicked ones’ bargain if you have a stronger reason or case to present. You can do so when you pray in the name of Jesus!

The righteous is loved forever. ‘The Righteous’ means someone who has been favorably loved by God–someone who is infinitely loved. This is really awesome.

You do not need to do any good thing before God loves you. He loves you regardless of anything and everything you do–good or bad. This is what is called real and true Love.

This is how you know–when you do something irritating or evil, you always have the opportunity to turn to Him for help and mercy. And when you do something good, He does not love you anymore than He already did. He has loved you from the beginning even before you do anything. This is so revealing and mind-blowing.
