Hi Blessed Folks!
It has been a while… About 6 months since i posted anything. Been busy with work, been putting the faith march on the sidelines lately… Prompted to reactivate this blog cos i know it’s been a blessing to many already. : )
What else then do we have on this earth? It seems, day to day, the world we live in is growing bleaker, darker and reeling into chaos. How do we as believers reign in this life on earth?
One word…
HOPE.
As a Christian believer, the primary driving force in our faith IS Hope.
In the Greek text of the New Testament “Hope” in the original language is “Elpis“.
And Elpis is defined by Strong’s concordance as:
1) From “elpo” which is a primary word (to anticipate, usually with pleasure); expectation (abstract or concrete) or confidence: – faith, hope.
And defined in Thayer’s Greek Definition as:
2) expectation of good, hope
We can concur and put both definitions together in the spirit of the Good News as:
Hope = Elpis = A confident expectation of good!
What more can we ask for then? Knowing that we are the beloved one of God and now we can confidently hope for good things to happen in our lives!
Next best thing to do?
Give thanks for what we have in our hands and confidently expect good things to happen, confidently expect the miracles to happen, confidently expect supernatural abundance!
*Best results shown here:
Mark 6:36-44
36 Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
38 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
39 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
42 And they did all eat, and were filled.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
44 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.
The above illustration showed the magnitude of the miracle and abundance, with the very little Jesus had in His hands.
But where’s the key then?
Here it is!…
John 6:11
And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
Go to the One in Heaven and give thanks with what you have now in your hands and He will give what you do not have in your hands! : )
What’s the last bit then?
Enjoy the fish and bread given! Receive it! Eat it! What’s the point of a miracle or blessing coming your way and you don’t receive it and enjoy it?
Start telling Him that you’ve received your blessing already!
Mark 11:24
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
I hope you have been blessed!
I pray to all that read this, to have a Shalom 2010! A year of Abundance, Favor & Rest!
Shalom & God bless you all,
Emmanuel : )

shallom to all readers
first af all all, I would like to say glory to God and thank you so much to Bro. Emmanuel for this wonderful blogs. this is absollutely a strong messages to all of us who wanted to know the truth in Christ Jesus. in fact there’s only ONE WAY journey to our salvation. ONLY ONE!! its through Jesus Christ. Hard to accept? To the Muslim brethren…i would like to ask this question. just say if you wanted to go to one place, would you like to follow the one that can give you the assurance or the one that unsure about it? now, let us see a few thought of why i am following Jesus.
#1) because Jesus is in heaven ( that proved He is not a liar nor a sinner ) did prophet Muhammad give this assurance or is he in heaven as been written in quran?
#2) while Jesus teach us to love others and even our enemy…prophet Muhammad ask his followers to terminates those who against islam or even persecuting those who wanted to leave islam. until today…i don’t have to prove it.
#3) as a Christian I’ve NEVER been tought to love Christianity because it is just a mere religion but to love God the Father of Whom my salvation comes. True Christian faith does’nt ask you to love religion but to love God.
#4) Jesus is a perfect picture of how God so much love the world!! without sacrifices that loves does’nt have any meaning. Useless!! If you say that you love your family but not willing to sacrifice everything that you have…dare not you say you love them! that is why God demonstrated it to us His perfect love through Jesus Christ! No question pls.
#5) As a Christian we never been tought to protect Christianity because we believed God is the One Who fought for us because it’s belongs to Him. Why we want to protect something when we are in God’s side. God don’t need guns and sword to protect His religion. Only man use guns because they dont have power likes God did. and offcourse you have to use guns and weapons to protect your religion because God is not in your side. He only want us to love Him and not religion….
almost all religions can makes us as good and kind as its can be…but without the truth all of our effort is useless..our ultimate of being like that is to be in heaven and the only way to be there is through Jesus Christ. Jesus is already being in heaven so why not just follow someone who have already did just that?
for those who were out there reading this…pls…pray before you read the bible or study it. Pray to God that He will show you the truth. i don’t ask you to believe in it, but only by praying God will revealed the truth to us. When you ask something from your earthly father…your hope is that your father will give it to you. I believed that God the Father Whom is greater than your father will give it to you when you really ask and believed. remember…dont limit yourself just to your own understanding but see the proof… see the history and see the truth.
God bless you all.
Amen.

Hi dearly beloveds,
How loved are you by God?
Does God’s love for me require me to be in His servitude? Is His love for me contingent on my good deeds? Will He ever curse me should I be disobedient to Him? Do I need to pray more, fast more to have more favour with Him?
I’m sure these are some very valid questions to some of us out there.
The answer we seek is the Cross of Calvary. Please watch the short music video first before reading on.
I See Love by 3rd Day – Soundtrack of The Passion
http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=596dfa7c219db523f73a
I truly see Love on that rugged cross.
Can God love you so much that He gave His very best to be punished in your place? Yes because He is God. And HE can because He is a God of love.
We can use a phrase from the world to describe this: Love is not love till you give it away.
Can you and I do the same to our own child? To our own beloved flesh and blood? To punish your beloved one for someone else’s sin?
This love is so amazing and incomprehensible that Paul called it a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Greeks.
1Corinthians 1:
22 For the Jews ask for a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom;
23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness.
Jesus Christ WILL be a stumbling block to religiosity, Jesus WILL be foolishness to philosophy.
BUT, We declare to the world that Jesus Christ was crucified and rose again on the 3rd day conquering death, satan and hell, rising victoriously for us!
All that God has done for us was summed up on the cross, ALL His love for us was summed up on the cross, ALL His forgiveness, ALL His mercy, ALL His judgment was summed up on the cross. I used the word was because now we’re living in the IS of God. He IS our Refuge, He IS our Shelter, He IS our Hiding place, He IS our Healing, He IS our Provider, He IS our Prosperity, He IS our Righteousness, He IS our Holiness. We’re now IN Christ. Whatever GOD IS so are we!!! Amen! Hallelujah!
Now, that is love isn’t it? UNCONDITIONAL, IRREVOCABLE, ETERNAL.
ALL that GOD IS, IS us now, the believer in Christ Jesus. He paid His own price of Judgment on His beloved Jesus.
Blessed ones, now Rejoice!
Psalms 13:
5 But I have trusted in Your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Your salvation(original Hebrew: Yeshua/Jesus).
Blessed is he who sees, blessed is he who hears.
Thank you Father that you hear me always! Father I rejoice in Your Yeshua!
Shalom Shalom,
Emmanuel
