Jesus is your Qualification for God’s Blessings

Jesus is your qualification for God's blessings

And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you…
Deuteronomy 28:2

JESUS IS YOUR QUALIFICATION FOR GOD’S BLESSINGS

God loves to bless you. He has even declared that “blessings shall come upon you and overtake you.” This means that you can’t run fast enough to escape them! When you turn one corner, there is a blessing waiting for you. When you turn another corner, you run smack into another blessing!

Now, you may think that you don’t qualify for God’s blessings because of the preceding verse which says that these blessings will come to pass only if you diligently obey God’s voice and keep all of His commandments. You know that no matter how hard you try, you just cannot keep all of God’s commandments. In fact, the Bible says that if you fail to keep just one commandment, you fail to keep all (see James 2:10).

My friend, I have good news for you: Jesus is the one who qualifies us for every single blessing because He has kept all of God’s commandments. When He died for us on the cross, He not only fulfilled all of God’s commandments, He also redeemed us from the curse of the law (see Galatians 3:13). Note that He did not redeem us from the blessings of the law, so the blessings are still ours today!

As you read the list of blessings in Deuteronomy 28, starting with “Blessed shall you be in the city…in the country…the fruit of your body…your basket…when you come in…when you go out…” (Deuteronomy 28:3–13), I believe that Jesus is saying to you, “Like the blessings? Then take them by faith!”

You may say, “But I don’t deserve them.” Yes, you don’t deserve them, but you still get them because of Jesus. That is God’s grace! The law says, “You must deserve the blessings.” But the law is no longer here. Grace is here. So take the blessings by grace through faith. Believe God for the blessings.

Today, it is no longer a question of how much or how well you have kept God’s commandments. It is a question of how much you can believe God for His blessings. All the promises of God in Christ are “Yes,” and because you are in Christ, you can say “Amen!” to His blessings (see 2 Corinthians 1:20)!

Tips to Succeed As an Adult Learner

Adult Learner

Many students study part-times as they continue working and supporting their families. They are aware of their individual strengths and weaknesses. They have a positive outlook towards learning and are intrinsically motivated to learn. However, they might also carry negative emotions such as anxiety and fear for being students again. Considering how important it is to return to college, adult students ought to follow these tips in enhancing their efficacy.

1. Organize your learning

Once you are aware of your strengths and weaknesses, it becomes easier to take more responsibility for how you study. If you know you are not good at classroom lectures, prepare for the classes by doing personal read, consider looking for tests online.

2. Challenge yourself

Do not shy away from asking questions if something is unclear. Remember that the only way you can understand it is asking for the help you require. Ask your tutor, department head or even your classmates.

3. Be organized

Managing work, family life and school is not an easy task, but it’s doable. The key to succeeding is being organized and ensuring that you have your priorities right. Know what’s urgent and what’s not.

4. Go far and beyond

Probably in your earlier years you were happy to sit back and allow the teacher to show you the way. However, things are different now. Follow topics that interest you, both in and out of the classroom. Ask questions and read ahead of the teachers. All tutors appreciate such enthusiasm and will be willing to help out such students.

5. Put aside time to study

As an adult student, you have to set aside time for private study. This is because a lot of independent action is expected from adult students. College classes are fewer than high school classes, so it’s your responsibility to keep up a regular study schedule.

Proclaim the Lord’s Death

Proclaim the Lord's Death

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.
1 Corinthians 11:26

PROCLAIM THE LORD’S DEATH

In the Old Testament, whenever the children of Israel sacrificed a lamb for a burnt offering as they faced a strong enemy, victory was theirs. For example, in 1 Samuel 7:7–11, when the Philistines were coming against them, the prophet Samuel offered a lamb as a burnt offering. As it was being offered, the Lord came like a loud thunder on the Philistine army, confusing them. This led to victory for the Israelites.

Every time something bad happened to the children of Israel, by offering a lamb sacrifice, they were proclaiming the Lord’s death, and the battle would turn in their favor.

Today, when we are faced with an enemy, how do we offer our “burnt offering”? How do we proclaim the Lord’s death and come out victorious? Do we ask Jesus to come down to where we are at and die on the cross all over again?

Of course not. Jesus died once for all our sins—past, present and future (see Hebrews 10:12). His work is perfectly perfect and completely complete, so He doesn’t have to die for us again. Today, we proclaim His death simply by partaking of the Lord’s Supper.

Every time you partake of the bread and wine, you declare to the principalities and powers of darkness that the Lord’s death avails for you. Every time you partake, you are saying that because Jesus has been judged and punished in your place, you cannot be judged and punished. Because Jesus died young in your place, you will live long. And because He conquered death and stripped the devil of his powers, you will not be defeated. The victory is already yours!

That is why the psalmist David said, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies…” (Psalm 23:5). The Lord’s table is prepared for you in the presence of your enemies because when you partake of the bread and wine, you will see your enemies tremble and scatter! Why? Because when you proclaim the Lord’s death through the Holy Communion, you are reminding the devil and his cohorts of their humiliating defeat at Calvary’s cross (see Colossians 2:15)!

Cute Pomeranian Picture

Cute golden pomeranian

Isn’t the female golden Pomeranian above cute? It even wears a pink ribbon, a reminder and tribute to breast cancer patients and also survivors recently. My little Leia has similar look and I took the short cut way to just link from my Instagram account. That’s because these photos are usually professionally taken as eye candy. Even as I write here, I am blogging from my iPhone X, which literally requires one finger typing.

Take, Take and Take More

Take, Take and Take More

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
1 Corinthians 2:12

TAKE, TAKE AND TAKE MORE!

As a child of the Most High God, God wants you to know the things that have been freely given to you. He wants you to receive them freely although it cost Him His Son. He paid the price, but He wants you to receive the blessings freely. That is His love toward you.

Perhaps you are asking God, “How is it that I don’t have this blessing? And why do I have so little of that?”

I believe that He is saying this to you: “What do you lack, My child? Health? Take it! It has been paid for with the life of My Son.

“Do you need peace of mind? My Son wore the crown of thorns on His head to give it to you. Take it!

“Lack wisdom? Take My wisdom!

“Need victory? Victory is not something you attain. It is a gift to be received. Take it!

“Take My provision! Take My favor! Every time you come into My Presence, take, and take some more!”

God, your heavenly Father, wants you to receive like the prodigal son, who deserved nothing, but received everything (see Luke 15:11–24). God delights in giving freely. And He delights in you receiving freely because it shows that you value and appreciate His Son’s sacrifice.

You miss it when you are busy trying to earn what has been freely given to you, when you think that you must do more for God to bless you, or that you must pay the price for it. God cannot give it to you based on your works because if it is by works, it is no longer by grace. When you try to work for it, you frustrate the grace of God and make light of Jesus’ work at Calvary.

My friend, the days of trying, striving and earning are over. The days of take, take and take more have come. Take and you will bring pleasure to God’s heart!

8 Things that are a Waste of Time

One of the biggest time waster is watching tv. Rich people have a big library while poor people have a big tv. Also, the lack of priorities makes one unable to achieve any goals in life and just drift along with the flow. Another factor is doing something just because it makes others happy while you are unhappy. This applies mainly to many areas of our lives, namely the choice of course or career that our parents choose for us.

Sometimes, it makes more friends by allowing the other side to win and not trying to win every conversation. Obnoxious people are like this and they have to win every argument. Pride comes before a fall! Constantly complaining will not help, instead, it makes you look weak and helpless, if not childlike. Tell it to the Lord and share your problems with God Almighty who may find the right people for the right solution for you.

Don’t wait for inspiration. Instead, create it. Don’t wait for a job. Create it. Be your own boss. A big mistake is trying to please everybody. You have to be selective and choose who to be nice to. Finally, don’t worry about what other people will say. They are not important. Be thick skin and guard your heart, for it is the well spring of life!
