Morning Bliss:  Extend the Zoe Life_




Focal Scripture : Luke 23:43; Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, 'Today shalt thou be with me in paradise"

                   Read: Luke 23:37-44


The second lesson we learn as we look to Jesus on the cross is this: think of others in the midst of your own suffering. Here, in the darkest hour in human history, we find the One who is suffering is thinking of others.

On the cross, Jesus was not only bearing the wounds from scourging, beating, slapping, and crucifixion -- he was bearing all the sins of all His people and the wrath of God for them. There are no words to describe or parallel experiences to illustrate the misery this must have been. It was literally hell on earth.

How unexpected, then, to see one of the thieves crucified next to him turn to him and ask for a place in his kingdom. But, as striking as that scene doubtless was, it must have been even more shocking to see the One who was suffering so much turn to the thief and speak to him words of comfort.

If Jesus can think of others at a time like this, surely we are utterly without excuse for ever being self-centered or self-absorbed in times of personal struggle or affliction. If Jesus can help and encourage and comfort while hanging on the cross, then we can certainly minister to others in the midst of our own pain or grief or loss.

Are you struggling under the weight of some great difficulty or sorrow? Then look to Jesus on the cross. Not only does He have words of comfort for you, but His example is a model for you. May looking to Jesus take your eyes off yourself and inspire you to reach out to those around you who are hurting and hopeless and needy. 

Another key lesson is the fact that the thief next to Jesus who asked for a place received the Kingdom right at that minutes of his death. Heaven will be full of surprises anyway. 

I tell you a story; A Friend, who is a Nurse, who was living with a man in the same flat for some years, but never knew the neighbor had cancer and it has eaten up to the extent of death, not until the day they called her attention because the man is about passing out, she saw the situation knowing fully well the man can't make it, she quickly led the dieing man to Jesus, and not long after that moment, the man gave up the ghost. 

Nurses, Doctors, Medics, are at the Gate of life and death, and they have opportunities to take so many to heaven.

You may be around when people wants to transit from earth, do not hesitate to do the needful.

You have to realize as a believer you are a life Giver, extend this Zoe life to other people on daily basis.

Morning Bliss: Sin through One Man' Focal Scripture : Romans 5:12; Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."                  Read: Romans 5:12-16 Can one man make a difference? Human history shouts in the affirmative. One man, one woman, one child can have an enormous impact, either for good or evil. Adam, by eating of the fruit which God had forbidden, plunged himself and all his posterity into sin. And the inevitable result of sin was death. The world is full of "if onlys". If only Adam had not eaten of that fruit! If only the people had listened to Noah's preaching! If only Moses had not lost his temper! If only Peter had stood up for Jesus! On the other hand, the world is full of "what ifs". What if Abraham had not faithfully followed God's command? What if David had not stood up to Goliath? What if Paul had not written to the churches?...

Morning Bliss: Focus On Jesus_ Focal Scripture : Luke 10:20 - 'Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.'                                      Read: Luke 10:20   We were never instructed to have a Ph.D. in demonology.  However, some justify focusing on Satan and his activity to an inordinate degree.  This will actually encourage demonic activity and become a device that Satan can use against us. As Paul said, we should not be 'ignorant' of Satan's devices.  We certainly need to know that the devil and demons exist, and we need to recognize when we are facing demonic activity. But we need to keep our focus on the Lord. Some people who are excessive in 'spiritual warfare' actually spend more time talking to the devil each day than they do talking to God.  That's not r...

https://anchor.fm/eric-michael/episodes/Power-Of-Perception-e5184k  Power Of Perception   There is a law in psychology that if you form a picture in your mind of what you would like to be, and you keep and hold that picture there long enough, you will soon become exactly as you have been thinking. — William James ■ YOU ARE BORN UNAFRAID The child is born with no fears, except those of falling and loud noises. All other fears have to be taught to the child as he or she grows up. The two major fears we all develop are the fear of failure or loss and the fear of criticism or rejection. We begin to learn the fear of failure if we are continually criticized and punished when we try some- thing new or different. We are shouted at and told, “No! Get away from there! Stop that! Put that down!” Physical punishment and the withholding of love, possibilities that scare us and make us feel insecure, often accompany these shouts and criticisms. We s...
