Lord Jesus, you are the King of kings and the Lord of lords. we thank you for this message that you have given to us today and thank you for reminding us of your finished work at the cross. We recommit our lives to you and we surrender any aspect of our lives that we are still taking control of. We give you all the praises, glory, and most importantly we love you from the bottom of our hearts.

In the Old Testament, it was not said that only the Jews will be saved, rather, it was said that it will be through them that all the nations will be saved.

It is not about me. It is about Jesus who made me and reward me the gift even though I don't deserve. You bear fruits because of Jesus whom you put your faith into.

As Christians blessed with the privilege to be children and heirs of God, we are also called to suffer as Jesus Christ did that we may also be glorified with Him. It’s not that we should suffer literally the same shame of whipping and mocking He experienced, and die the same shameful death He had on the cross. But it means that we symbolically live and experience the life that Jesus had as He lived completely opposing to how the world wants us to live.

When we buy the ticket for the ship, we also avail the buffet that comes with it. What do we miss out in receiving the free gift of eternal life?

We were taught that food, water and clothes are our primary needs in life to survive. Every day we strive just to have these things. And sometimes we tend to work harder than ever and forget everything else just to get these things.
It's not that these are not important. God is telling us not to worry about these things not because He will make these magically appear in front of us but because He will give us the capability to meet our own needs.

It’s because there must be something wrong with our reception. We either lack faith and trust in Him, lack in obedience to Him, lack in focus on Him, lack in surrender to Him, and/or lack on our love for Him. Whatever it is that hinders our pipe, we have to be aware of it, and we need to surrender it.

If we fail to do these things, don’t worry, the time is coming and is now near that Jesus will be magnified to all.

Most Christians see that the way of overcoming the test is by fighting it back, but this is not the case of God. We will never win the test by our own self, actually it is God who will fight for us.
