We are the Kingdom

nwcoc — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 19:06:01 +0000

Our God is a God of obedience He asks us to do and do we?

Do You?

Do you do because you feel pressured or do you do because you want to?

Jesus speaks to us via our heart and we relay His message to the world by the way we respond to Him. If we want others to be obedient to God then we need to practice what we preach!

Jesus while he was here always set the example He was not a follower He was a leader.

Jesus has died for our sins… yours too and he now resides in us!

His kingdom resides in us and as subjects of His kingdom we represent Him!

We are “The Kingdom of God”.

Represent!

What it means to Know Jesus!

Eyes of Jesus

nwcoc — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 21:44:36 +0000

Do you see others the way Jesus does?

Are We There Yet…

nwcoc — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 20:14:16 +0000

We age and that’s just the way it is.
Every day is a day closer to God, AMEN!
Yet we complain or are uneasy, about getting old or even passing on to meet our maker…
When we get older as time passes by, our senses either get weaker or we may lose them alltogether.

Perhaps our hearing goes, perhaps our vision.

Thank goodness Jesus restores our vision and leads our way. This is good because sometimes I lose my way but then I remember, I’m not driving.

What a relief, because Jesus drives my car and “I WILL GET THERE” will you?

Have you accepted Jesus?

Are you even in the back seat? There is room, he has prepared a place for you.

Get in the car there is plenty of room.

Who’s Goals?

What are your goals
Where have you seen God working around you?
Perhaps there lie your goals…Gods goals.

Have Faith In Love

nwcoc — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 01:44:28 +0000

Love is powerful. It always seems to conquer all.
Love is the greatest faith of all I mean even through the worst of times it continues.

When it doesn’t receive it still gives. Never takes.

Love is real because it shows itself.

We know others love us because of what they have done or do for us despite the lack of what we do for them or don’t do.

The easiest way to get love is to give it and show it.

Our purpose as Christians is to show love, to give it away and by doing this you will receive the loving blessing of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

Are you ready

Have you ever reflected on a childhood experience?

We all come from different backgrounds and experiences but we all want the same destination, with Jesus for eternity.

Sometimes we know we are growing Gods kindom in the things that we do. Sometimes there are things we do and they grow Gods kindom and we have no idea. The point is, we are to seek God in all that we do because our actions have different effects on different people.

We all want to see God in his holiness.

Perhaps in our differences and weaknesses is where the grace of Jesus fills in the cracks.

We are one long cracked sidewalk leading to the same place.

We need to see others through Gods eyes to see their needs.

God shows his glory daily do you see it? Have you responded? What are you waiting for? It may never come….

Submit to your Calling

nwcoc — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 21:48:57 +0000

Do you start things and loose interest before they are done?

We need to follow through in our Christian walk.

Half heated pursuit of Christianity is ineffective.

Was Jesus a half hearted sacrifice or a complete one?

You know the answer.

So if we know the answer why do some of us, ok, most of us get gun shy when it comes to standing out in today’s world and shine with the love of Christ.

We need to be unified in one faith and mission to glorify God and bring all those we know to Christ.

We are to be ready for works of service as the Lord presents them to us.

All the other things we do are of this world and will someday fade away.

The truth of the matter is someday could be months, weeks, days even breaths away.

As I thought about this earlier in the week I realized in a measly 25 years I will be 60 years old and in only maybe 25 more….well you know.

Have you considered how short your life is and how big the mission is?

Spend every breath chasing what is important and not those things that will just fade away and that will not make an ounce of difference on that day that you stand before Jesus.

Made To Worship

nwcoc — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 19:51:59 +0000

Why or how could this be hard?

How do we worship?

How do you worship?

Worship is a response of the heart.

One of the many topics Jesus spoke of a lot was worship.

Is there a best place or form of worship

Jesus said worship is determind in our hearts

Right actions with the wrong heart is not worship.

Your heart must be in it.

Your love will transform to worship use your love to worship.

Be intimate with your Jesus with my Jesus with OUR Jesus.

Service

nwcoc — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 19:27:57 +0000

Our service to others comes from the inside.

Our heart prepares our body to be of service to Christ. Music stirs within us. In order to be of service to others and to our world we need to aproach them with relevance. New songs and Music have replaced and become the poets of old. Does your life sing a song to God? Song and Music from the heart is praise to God.

Have you ever requested a song for someone in hopes they would get the message?

Here is a message I mean request for you….

Let your Lifesong Sing to Him. Dont Just dismiss this video, soak it up!

Listen to the words daily and be transformed to do service for Him and those around you.

-Empty Hands held high
Such Small sacrifice
If not joined with my life
I sing in vain tonight

May the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to you
Chorus:
Let my lifesong sing to You
Let my lifesong sing to You
I want to sign your name
to the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to You

LORD, I give my life
A Living sacrifice
To reach a world in need
To be your hands and feet

So may the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You

Chorus

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Let my lifesong sing to You (x3)

Chorus (x2)
