Saved by Grace

No body else can make me change all my ways, No body else can take away the words that cause pain! No body else has a name that will break away the chains and free me form all bondage!  You caught me…caught me in Love! "Now I will break their yoke from your neck and tear your shackles away." Nahum 1:13 "For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery." Galatians 5:1 "Now, therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?" Acts 15:10 Stay Blessed<3

Jesus Christ is the greatest gift we have been given. Next to Jesus Christ, the second gift is Today, the power of NOW! If we aren't careful just the same way Jesus was crucified between two thieves we will crucify our Now between two thieves; between Yesterday and Tomorrow! 1) Now is when the miracles unfold : God doesn't save the best for last He saves the best for NOW! Then Miracles start happening. "9  and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.  He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside   10  and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.” 11  What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs  through which he revealed his glory;  and his disciples believed in him." John 2:9-11 2...

So when it hurts when times get hard don't forget WHO's Child you are! "In the same way, let your light shine before others,  that they may see your good deeds  and glorify  your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16 Stay Blessed<3

The spirit of fear can stop you from achieving what you are meant to achieve! Fear seeks to paralyze your faith! Be strong and of good courage was mentioned 4 times in this ( Joshua 1 )part of Scripture 1) The first reason God told Joshua to not fear is for the people's sake : Your God ordained purpose will not only help you but others too! So, fear not for the sake of helping others! "Be strong  and courageous,  because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors  to give them." Joshua 1:6 2)  The second reason God told Joshua to not fear is for his own sake : God wants to give you good success, He doesn't want to just use you He wants to bless you ( Jeremiah 29:11 )! So, fear not for your own sake! “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey  all the law  my servant Moses  gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left,  that you may be successful wherever you ...

Hello peeps :) How is it going? My day is going great praise God! I hope yours is going great too! Are you one of those people who have felt God's presence and seen God's hand in your life in an undeniable way? Do you still doubt? Do you still feel alone when one tiny thing goes wrong? Do you still struggle with trusting God? Don't worry it's not just you, but let us figure out a way to end this once and for all! Challenge of the Week: This week let us challenge our selves to remember God's goodness. Let us remember God has done amazing things in our lives. Let us remember that we have not only heard saying He is good but we have experienced His goodness too! Let us also know there are times we don't hear from God as often as we used to. But, we need to know that it is not His way of punishing us but teaching us. Just as a parent puts his/her kid in 'timeout' to think of things they did wrong, may be God is giving us time to think about our mistakes ...

Hello everyone :) How was your Monday? Great, if it was great and if it wasn't uhmmm I hope something to  turn it around happens before the day ends :) Either Way, God is always good! Have you ever sat down to think of what you are worth? Do you know what you are worth? You see the reason I ask is if you know what you are worth, you will know to treat yourself better! Prayer of the Week: This week let us ask God who we are in Him. Let us be bold enough to ask Him what we are worth. Let us pray that the scriptures will shine light on our worth. Let us pray this week that in everything we see, we will see the heart of God for us. I want you to know you are worth a lot. A lot more than most of you think. You are worth 3.4 liters of Jesus's blood! You are worth so much! You are worth so much that God gave up His only son for your sake ( John 3:16 )! You are worth so much that God counts your tears ( Psalms 56:8 )! You are worth so much that He knows you by name even before you ...

Put your love glasses on..see the world through God's eyes! "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 "For God so loved  the world that He gave  His one and only Son,  that whoever believes  in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 "This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us  and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for  our sins." 1 John 4:10 Stay Blessed<3

Worship is not worship until it is expressed! Lucifer before he sinned He was in charge of worship 12  “Son of man, take up a lament  concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: ‘This is what the Sovereign  Lord  says: “‘You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 You were in Eden,   the garden of God; every precious stone  adorned you:  carnelian, chrysolite and emerald,  topaz, onyx and jasper, lapis lazuli, turquoise  and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold;  on the day you were created they were prepared. 14 You were anointed  as a guardian cherub,  for so I ordained you.  You were on the holy mount of God;  you walked among the fiery stones." Ezekiel 28: 12-14 Lucifer after he sinned The  instruments  he was created with were given to all humans as means of worshiping God! "15 You were blameless in your ways  from the...

Good evening everyone :) The day is almost over I know :) But better late than never eh :) Have you ever imagined God's will to be exactly like yours? In other words, have you listened to yourself more than God and convinced yourself that your will is the same as God's? Or have you given God the time and opportunity to speak to you and make know to you His will? Have you been in a place where you know His will but you aren't quiet comfortable with it, not yet at least? Challenge of the Week: This week I challenge you to first test if your will is in alignment to His. I challenge you then to recognize the difference and that His ways are always superior to ours. I challenge you, once you know His will, to pursue it with all your heart, mind and soul! In any case that your will is not the same as His, I challenge you to be open to His guidance and His will! Once you are in His will for your life, you will reach greatness :) "And do not be conformed to this world, ...

Good afternoon everyone :) How was your weekend? Mine was great praise God :) Hope yours was great too :) There are somethings that happen in life and they end up leaving a scar in you. Have you ever  gone back to that incident or circumstance and looked at it through your spiritual glasses? Have you seen it to be works of evil? Have you felt like this evil was a punishment from God? I want to tell you that being evil or any traits of evil do not go in accordance to God's character. He is good and anything opposite from that, I can confidently say, it is not from God! Look at things from a spiritual point of view! Prayer of Week : This week we are going to pray about learning to see through our spiritual glasses. This week we are going to pray about and against spritual warfare. By praying against already planned schemes of the devil will stop the plans from unfolding. This is not to say all things are of that sort, but God has given us the power of prayer (communication with H...

You are my shelter and everything rides on hope now! I will sing Your praises higher, Your love sets me free!! lalalala "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."  2 Corinthians 3:17 "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:36 "You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.  The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your  neighbour  as yourself."  Galatians 5:13-14 Stay Blessed<3

Put on the full Armor of God! "10  Finally, be strong in the Lord  and in his mighty power.   11  Put on the full armor of God,  so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.   12  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,  but against the rulers, against the authorities,  against the powers  of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.   13  Therefore put on the full armor of God,  so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand." Ephesians 6: 10-13 1) First Armor: Put on the belt of Truth "  Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist,  with the breastplate of righteousness in place," Ephesians 6:14 * A Roman solider's belt is what keeps the entire  armor in place without it the whole armor would fall! * When you put on the belt of ...

Good evening everyone :) How was your day today? Mine was  eventual  but Praise God it's come to an end :) Have you ever been in a place where you thought something is/was from God just because it seems/seemed it was something God would do? Have you cross-checked it with God's word? Or did you just accept it because the looks of it convinced you? I want to tell you that there is a difference between something that seems like it's from God and something that is from God! Challenge of the Week: This week I challenge you to test and see if the thing you have accepted to be from God is really from God. This week I challenge you to be in the presence of the Lord often about this thing. You might find that is actually from God or that it isn't. If you are set on living in God's will, take little steps into His will by testing and checking little things in your life. Remember God's will is in accordance to His Character and His Character is in accordance to His wor...

First Monday of 2014!!!! Are you guys excited??? Good afternoon everyone :) How is your day going so far? Praise God mine is going great! :)  Have you noticed that God likes creativity from the way He created different shaped snow flakes? Have you noticed that He is a personal God from the unique way He speaks to you? We all know He is great, mighty, all knowing, King of kings, and many more Great things. But would you like to know other attributes He has?  Prayer of the Week: As we get in to the new year, ask God to reveal to you traits He has that have never been known to you. Pray this week that you will be open to all that He tells you. Pray that you would believe without a doubt that He is who He says He is! I learned 2 new things about Jesus this past weekend; He is fun and He is a risk taker. Both of which I am not! But  if  my goal as a Christian is to look like Christ, then it is up me to learn then reflect  His attributes ! "God is not human, th...

November 17, 2013 If you were in Addis on Saturday November 16, 2013 you would completely see where am going with this. I started noticing this wave of unity around noon as left the house to meet up with a friend. I have never heard the phrase "yehager fiker" be used these many times in a short time span. For those of you who don't understand Amharic ( National language of Ethiopia) it means love one has for one's country. You might ask, " What was happening that day that was so special?" There was a crucial soccer match between the Ethiopian National Soccer team (Waliyas) and the Nigerian National Soccer team ( Super Eagles). This match  determined  whether or not Ethiopia made it to the world cup. The game was set to take place in  Nigeria at 6pm local time. The crowd, the hype and the unity is one I had never witnessed. It was almost like non of the differences Ethiopian people had mattered. Nothing was as significant as the Unity.  It got me ...
