Saved by Grace

I may be weak, but Your Spirit's strong in me. My flesh may fail, but My God You never will Give me faith to trust what You say That You're good, and Your love is great. I'm broken inside, I give You my life "9  But he said to me,  “My grace  is sufficient for you, for my power  is made perfect in weakness. ”  Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.   10  That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight  in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships,  in persecutions,  in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 Stay Blessed<3

It is not just about God giving you the gift, it's about you being able to handle it! Sometimes we struggle to receive the gifts we asked God to give us because they appear in a manner different from what we expected! 1) Joseph's Strangely Wrapped Gift : His brothers had to throw him in a ditch then sell him off to foreigners. Then he had to be imprisoned for 13 years before he received his promise from God. "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."  Genesis  50:20 2) Job's Strangely Wrapped Gift : He lost his cattle, then his 10 kids, then his health, then his wife told him to curse God and die. His friends ridiculed him. He was down to nothing and yet he stuck to God! Then God gave him double portions of what he had before. He also gave him 10 kids. " I know that my redeemer lives,      and that in the end He will stand on the earth." Job 19:25 ...

How was your day? Mine went by fairly quickly :) My Tuesdays are usually very busy at work, so the day tends to feel like the it went by fast and dragged at the same time. But I thank God for another day under my belt :) Sometimes we tend to forget to be thankful for the smallest of victories. Specially when we have a 'major' pending issues at hand. Do you think that goes inline with God's word? Or do you think He is a God of both small and big/major Victories?? Just the same way He looked for the 1 lost sheep when He had 99, our Savior rejoices over our small victories as He would over the big/major ones! Challenge of the Week: I challenge both you and I to come before the Lord with thanksgiving even for the smallest of victories. I challenge you to make testimonies of those small victories. I challenge you to record those victories. I challenge you to look out for the time when those small victories birth bigger ones. How would we learn to be thankful for the major th...

Hello...Yes I am alive :) If I tried to explain why I haven't blogged it will end up sounding like bunch of excuses! The main thing is that I am back :) Do you want to know the amazing work of God though? Even in the last three months that I haven't blogged over 2 thousand people have viewed past postings. You know what that means...God is able to use anything and anyone...even a seemingly abandoned blog! Let's Jump straight into prayer! Prayer of the Week: Please pray for loved ones of those lives lost at the hands of cruel men. Let us pray that God protects the rest of the people in those regions. Pray that faith is revived and people are not disheartened. Pray that people will see that those people preferred death over denouncing Jesus Christ. Pray that even as we live our lives today, we will learn to live in that reality. In the reality of living for Him and dying for sin! Living for Him no matter what the cost! Answer honestly, if they held you at gun point would ...

I remember that week as if it was last week. I got grounded for the first time! It was beginning of August of 2009. My parents came to me one day and said that I was not allowed to leave the house. Mind you it was the last week in Ethiopia. You see I was heading to Canada in a weeks time. I thought to spend each and every single day by being productive. Or so I thought! I had planned to meet at least 3 people a day in order to have a proper good bye with my closest friends. My parents were firm! I cried..they stood their ground! I cried even more...it was still a no! They told me that they would provide refreshments for my friends if they came to my house to say goodbye instead of me going out. I was not too pleased but I thought it was better than nothing. And so that week passed and I came to Canada. Till this day I do not understand why my parents did what they did..may be I will never understand it..but I know they had great intentions at heart! Sometimes in our walks with God ...

Good evening everyone :) I hope you had a great day! One thing remains..God is faithful! Do you really know the amazing power in lifting God's name high? Do you really understand that chains are broken as you worship the one true God? Do you really get that praising and worshiping, at all times, is God's will, in Christ Jesus, for our lives? If you get it then start praising! Challenge of the Week: This week I challenge you to approach the throne of Grace by worshiping Him. This week I challenge you to worship even when you are at the lowest point in your life. This week I challenge you to understand that praise and worship are the remedies that bring Joy to a sad soul. I challenge you and I to give God the praise He deserves.  "And my tongue shall speak of your righteousness and of your praise all the day long." Psalms 35:28 It is  good to give thanks to the  Lord , And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;" Psalms 92:1 Then I will ...

Hello friends! I Trust your Christmas went well! Are you guys excited for the new year? In few days we will be in the year 2015, isn't that crazy? Did you know there was a time when only priests met with God? Did you know in those days prayer was not a privilege enjoyed by many? Did you know in those days people had to go to certain places in order to worship God? Now we have such freedom, now we have been given the right to speak to God as frequently as we want..as a result of Christ's sacrifice. My question is..now that we have the right to approach God (Hebrews 4:16), did we start taking His presence for granted? Did we stop valuing prayer? Prayer of the Week: This week let us understand that the freedom of prayer is a gift we got as a result of Christ's sacrifice. This week let us pray remembering that so many before us would have loved to have the freedom to be in God's presence. This week as we pray let us take advantage of the fact that we can worship our fat...
