L O V E GOD above All


In Mark 12:30 Jesus said: "You shall love the Lord your God with All your Heart, with All your Soul, with All your Mind, and All your Strength" I hope you noticed the superlative word "ALL". he did not say with part of your heart, soul, mind, and strength, but with All of each.
Jesus also said something more direct and clear in Matthew 10:37 "He who love his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me" You might be thinking how and why should I love God above all in life, when I don't even know him or see him? Well if you think right you will understand that God is your creator, he is sustainer, he is your provider, and your redeemer. Without his will and power one could not even be able to breathe, without his will one leaf of a tree would not move or fall, no one else nor anything else can or has done these things for you.
Now, I have a surprise for you, actually it is not my surprise, it is Paul the Apostle's surprise in 1-Corinthians 2:9 He says: "But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who LOVE him"' Wow! I want those things, don't you? I encourage you to LOVE God above everyone and everything else. May the peace of God which surpasses all understanding dwell with you all now and for ever more. Amen

  Welcome to our page. Jeremiah 9:23-24 says, "Thus says the Lord: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom. Let not the mighty man glory in his might. Let not the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me. That I am the Lord exercising lovingkindness, judgement, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight", says the Lord". Oh what a difference it would be if we could only understand and know God!. Let us all purpose in our hearts to make 2024 the year in which we will know God better and understand Him more. May we all come closer to Him as He also comes closer to us. Make the peace of God which surpasses all understanding be with each one of you and yours. "Maranatha"

T E M P T A T I O N part 3

  In our last blog we saw that it is the devil who tempts us and he is so bad that no one escapes his temptations, we also read that he does it because he wants to destroy people, but we read that we must do three things not to fall into temptation; we must be sober, vigilant, and resist the devil. Today we are going to read Hebrews 2:18 "For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted. He is able to aid those who are tempted" Yes, He (Jesus) is able, and I should add, that He is not just able, He is ready and willing to aid (Help) those of us when we are tempted. What do we do when we need help? We ask, right? Then every time we find out that we are tempted we must call upon Jesus for help, and be confident that He will help. 2-Peter 2:9 says that the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations. Jesus knows how to deliver us because He Himself was tempted just as we are and overcame the temptations. I must encourage everyone reading this to call upon Jesus for...

Mount Up With Wings As Eagles

  The eagle is the bird that flights the highest, up to 10.000 feet. The eagle is not afraid of the storms, in fact he likes the storms because he takes advantage of the storm to flight high. When the eagle sees the storm coming he launches into flight to ascend in a spiral manner, upward, upward, upward until the storm passes, but in the process he finds himself closer to the light of the sun. Other birds and animals when they see the storm coming they get afraid, run to hide and to find protection. Christians who wait and trust in the Lord are like eagles, they see the storm coming and they prepare to ascend upward, upward, and upward closer in their experience with the Lord, the sun of righteousness. Every storm the Christian faces makes him/her stronger and stronger ready to defeat a bigger storm. The Christian should say as the Psalmist, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mo...
