GOOD NEWS: GOD DOES NOT SEE YOU AS HIS ENEMY

 "But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ." Ephesians 2:13 (NKJV)


I have good news for you today; Our God is a God who is full of mercy and love for His people and for you. But in the Old Covenant, we were separated from God because of our sins and wrongdoings. Because of sin, there was enmity between us and God. Isaiah 59:1–2 says:

"Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you So that He will not hear."


Then, in verse 3, He explains the reason:
"For your hands are defiled with blood, And your fingers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken lies, Your tongue has muttered perversity."


But because our God is full of love, and He wants you to be close to Him—and He wants to be close to you—He sent Jesus to make peace between us and Him through His death on the cross.

And after that work of peace was done, His Word says: "But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ."

So today, know that the separation that was between you and God has been removed by the power of Jesus' blood.

Do not see yourself as someone who is not accepted by God or as someone abandoned by Him. Even if you are facing challenges, God is with you to save you. Even if you have weaknesses, God is with you to help you.

You are no longer God's enemy—you are His child whom He loves so much.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I thank You for the reconciliation You made for me. I confess and believe that I am loved and accepted by God, my Father. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
