Be Mindful of Christ Obedience at the Cross

Christ obedience at the cross

casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
2 Corinthians 10:5

BE MINDFUL OF CHRIST’S OBEDIENCE AT THE CROSS

Have you ever felt condemned because of the bad thoughts you have had? You could be in the middle of a prayer meeting when suddenly a dirty thought enters your mind. Actually, it is the devil who puts such thoughts in your mind. Then, he steps back, looks at you and knocks you on your head, saying, “How can you call yourself a Christian and still think such thoughts?”

I used to be in bondage over the bad thoughts I had because I felt that I had to confess every one of them and seek God’s forgiveness. But that is not what God’s Word exhorts us to do. You see, God wants us to bring “every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ”. Now, whose obedience are we to focus on? Christ’s obedience and not our own obedience!

But what is “the obedience of Christ”? It is His obedience at the cross, where “by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous”. (Romans 5:19) Jesus shed His blood for us at the cross. This means that when our thoughts condemn us, we are to focus our thoughts on Jesus’ obedience at the cross.

My friend, the devil can only make inroads into our minds when he gets us to focus on our obedience instead of Christ’s obedience. His strategy is to point us to our obedience or the lack of it to determine our standing before God. But just as our position as sinners is not based on what we do, but what the first Adam did, in the same way, we are forever righteous today not because of what we do, but because of what Christ, the last Adam, did on the cross.

So the next time your thoughts seem to condemn you, say, “I am righteous whether I have good or bad thoughts. My righteousness has nothing to do with my obedience. Jesus’ obedience at the cross made me righteous.” Then, go ahead and pray, knowing that you have access to God and His favor and that He hears the prayer of the righteous. (Proverbs 15:29)

Excerpt from The Fashion Intruder Book

The Fashion Instruder Book

This story is partially based on real events for which the fashion world is only a background and in this aspect it can be compared to The Devil Wears Prada. Both Roma and Lauren Weisberger were inspired by events from their own lives, reshaping them by their imagination.

The Fashion Intruder will take you to the world of fashion and ballet dancers from La Scala, at the same time giving you an insight into the real world of a large legal corporation. Italian art, French chic, English football and a Russian approach to business will quickly lead you through Intruder’s pages. But the book gives you more, it shows that we are imprisoned only by fear created in our minds, which stops us from realizing our dreams. The main character, Sofia Ricci shows us how to break out of corporate bonds and fiercely fight for your choices, even if everything around you is falling apart…

Some people say that this is a story about creating a business, other voices express a view that The Fashion Intruder is about believing that it is never too late to do what you truly love. This is a book of new beginnings, not only for Sofia, but also for the book’s other characters.

The blurb: That’s it!!! Will you finally give yourself the second chance? Dare to escape the perfectly organised legal world and the bed of a whimsical lover, the La Scala’s leading male dancer? Be brave enough to enter the crazy world of luxurious fashion and transfer every famous fashion street, boutique by boutique to a virtual world? Are you keen to face moody stylists, bloggers and designers? Can you escape the anger of a Victoria’s Secret Angel? Or will it not be enough once you’ve looked into the piercing blue eyes of a Manchester United forward? Rome, Paris, Milan, London, Moscow, New York all will reveal their true colours; the leading fashion cities so powerfully controlled by fashion elites. You, in turn, aware of the fashion war between Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli, are determined to become their worthy opponent. Are you ready? The fight for your dreams starts now!

Parenting – The Hardest 24-7 Job

Parenting - the hardest round the clock job

Parenting could well be the hardest job, compared to any others. But in this case, you call the shots, instead of your boss. You are now mom to your tiny bundle of joy all round the clock or 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is a never-ending process and even if your bundle of joy grows up to become an adult, you are still needed in certain ways for advise, companionship and sometimes financial help should he or she be jobless. But parenting is still worth it and it is God’s blessings to give your children and train them in the way they should go, the biblical way. So that the baby who is not an adult will not stray from the right path of living and become gainfully employed, able to socialize and merge with society at large.

Hence, it is the mother’s job to train up the child or toddler or infant to love reading and not waste time by gambling or watching pornography in their teenage years. All parents hope that they can train their child to become successful later on and become proud parents. As a ‘mom’ to a year old plus Pomeranian, it is not easy bringing her up, cleaning up the litter and feeding her. But Leia gives me lots of affection and joy seeing her grow from a puny puppy with very little fur to an almost full grown dog with long thick fur that is so tempting to stroke. When she poos outside her litter box, she gets disciplined. Sometimes she craves for attention by making puppy sounds to alert the owner. My spouse always says grace for little Leia before she eats her food of dog kibbles, mixed with lamb or beef. By the way, she’s allergic to chicken.

The Greatest Speech Ever by Oprah Winfrey

Just watch this YouTube video by the first black self-made woman billionaire, Oprah Winfrey. It is rather lengthy, but worth the nuggets of wisdom imparted. Most of us feel demoralized by the daily grind of chores of family life and also career-wise. Sometimes we are so bogged down by toxic people that we should avoid at all costs. They could be in our circle of friends, relative and family. They don’t want to see us succeed and say or do things that hurt us to boost up their inflated egos.

That is probably why the famous food critic, Anthony Bourdain and well-known designer, Kate Spade, committed suicide within 3 days apart. These two people are successful, established household names, yet they took their own lives. The Bible states that “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” – Luke 4:4. Luke was a doctor or only physician mentioned in the scripture. You can just Google this up for the various versions on different bibles.

Anyway, I am a little busy with work and some issues cropped for the company. So, I have to do my part and contribute in whatever way I can. A little about Oprah from Wiki here:

Oprah Winfrey (born Orpah Gail Winfrey; January 29, 1954) is an American media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer, and philanthropist. She is best known for her talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show, which was the highest-rated television program of its kind in history and was nationally syndicated from 1986 to 2011 in Chicago, Illinois. Dubbed the “Queen of All Media”, she was the richest African American of the 20th century and North America’s first multi-billionaire black person, and has been ranked the greatest black philanthropist in American history. Several assessments rank her as the most influential woman in the world.

See the Miraculous when you Give Thanks

See the miraculous when you give thanks

Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
John 11:41

SEE THE MIRACULOUS WHEN YOU GIVE THANKS

Jesus lived a life of thanksgiving. He always thanked His Father for what He had and for always hearing Him when He prayed. That was how He released miracles in His life.

In the story of the feeding of the five thousand (John 6:1–13), Jesus’ attitude was one of thankfulness. He took a little boy’s lunch of five loaves and two fish, gave thanks and had them distributed. He gave thanks for the little that was there and the little multiplied. Not only did the people eat as much as they wanted, there were 12 baskets full of leftovers!

So when you see the meager balance in your bank account, thank the Lord for what you have. That’s your “five loaves and two fish”. When you give Him thanks that He is your provider and the source of your supply, in spite of the little you have, your little will become much, with leftovers!

Even when faced with the impossible, the solution was still, “Father, I thank You…” When Jesus stood outside Lazarus’ tomb, and the people took away the stone that was covering the tomb, He did not see the situation as hopeless and impossible. He simply lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.” Then, He proceeded to call forth Lazarus, and the man came forth alive once more!

The raising of Lazarus, who had been dead for more than four days, was one of Jesus’ greatest miracles. And He accomplished this by saying, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.” He thanked His way to an awesome miracle.

My friend, the next time you find yourself praying, “God, please do this for me! Please give me…” stop! Instead, say, “Thank You God, for hearing me. And because You have heard me, I thank You that I have what I asked for.” And when you thank God, the little that you have will multiply. Your impossible situations will turn around to reflect God’s provision. And resurrection life will hit you!

For the record, Latex mattresses can be made using natural material or man-made synthetic latex. All-natural latex is derived from the rubber tree, which yields a milky white fluid called latex, with a few additions, it dries up and becomes rubber. Overall, Latex beds tend to rate better than memory foams mattresses, and have the lowest heat complaints when the mattresses are all-latex versus foam hybrids.

Price is also the biggest concern to consumers choosing this type of latex mattress. Natural latex mattresses can cost several thousands of dollars. And if you can afford it, latex mattresses are worth your money and purchase.

Again the Benefits and Features are as below in point form for your easy readability:

1- The natural wool cover – Only natural wool can be good for both hot and cold weather as it reacts to your temperature. So, it cools you in hot weather and warms you in cold weather. Wool is also anti-allergenic, flexible and very durable. The University of Sydney studies have shown that wool sleeping apparel and bedding increases total sleep time, promotes sleep onset and improves sleep efficiency. To complement the natural wool, they also added natural cotton to give that luxury soft feel to the cover.

2- Natural Talalay Latex – Their 100% natural Talalay latex molds perfectly to the shape of your body. It is hypoallergenic, eco-friendly, and extremely durable. The Talalay process makes the latex a lot more breathable than the Dunlop process. It is sourced from rubber trees that are not harmed in the process, making it completely renewable. Their latex is made right here in the U.S. and is Oeko-Tex certified as Class I, the highest rating possible for any mattress.

3- The 50 ILD base foam features plant-based oils – These oils are environmentally friendly and do not pollute the surroundings.

4- Our 100% Natural Talalay Latex Difference – A Sweet Zzz mattress made from Talalay organic latex does not contain any chemicals, synthetics, herbicides, pesticides, or other man-made products.

5- Free Shipping & Return – Who doesn’t love this? (US Site-wide only)

9- Completely Safe & Renewable – Everyone loves this feature.

10- Natural Wool Fire Retardant – Safe even for babies and all things natural.

11- What is the Natures Novel firmness rating? – To make Sweet Zzz latex cooler, they had to change it from the cellular level by increasing the size of the cell openness and the size of cell pores. This unique Open-Cell Structure increased the flow of air by 95% allowing heat to leave the foam through convection. This improved air flow caused moisture and heat to be dissipated 3 times faster than regular memory foam.

12- How is the Talalay Process different than Dunlop? – Simple: Compared to Dunlop, Sweet Zzz only uses the highest quality green and non-toxic materials in their mattresses. Their Talalay latex, wool, and cotton are 100% natural and come from completely renewable resources. In the process of making their mattresses, they use plant-based oils and water-based glues instead of harmful chemicals. For fire retardants, they use natural wool with no added chemicals. This is why all of their mattresses are Okeo-Tex certified as class 1. This means that they have been tested by a third party and found to be safe even for babies under 3 years.

13- IN-HOME-ASSEMBLY & REMOVAL

Pomeranian Monthly

Above is a cute Pomeranian taken from Instagram, which I am following. It sells t-shirts specially catered to Pomeranians; which are of course more expensive than poodles. Perhaps due to the maintenance of the long fur and its cuteness. It’s small and easy to maintain. Unlike Pincher, which is almost hamster size, this breed could also bark loudly and guard your home. Dogs love to please their owners and will do whatever it takes to get their attention, including tearing up tissue papers. My pet Pomeranian, Leia, loves to escape from its play pen and let you know how smart she is. Well, I don’t condone to this and put her in her cage for a while before letting her our again. As I am pretty busy, I cannot massage her at least 10 minutes daily, which she loves very much. I need to work too and earn some moolah for retirement. So, she has to play with her many toys and play by herself.
