Not I, but Christ!

Glory to God!

On our journey to revival, the Lord is speaking to us about unity and living by faith in Christ. Two weeks ago, Prem shared a message entitled, "Kept united by God's glory." Looking at Matthew 7:1-5 and John 17:22, we noted how the believer not only has access to God's glory but must depend on the Lord's presence to keep the unity of the Spirit. Prem showed us that spending time in God's presence:

Exposes the log/sin in our lives
Enables us to remove the log throgh repentance
Enables us to gain God's perspective on others
Empowers us to remove the speck in the eyes of others through blessing and intercession
Ensures that the unity is kept as we live in His glory

In preparation for our special healing service on the 25 March, the Lord is equipping us to minister in His power and authority. Having looked at the true nature of faith - receiving God's grace, resting from our works and resting in the Lord's finished work and remaining in Christ, Richard spoke to us yesterday about reigning in life through Christ as we live in Him. In his message entitled, "Living in Jesus' name," Richard showed us that just as Jesus came in the Father's name to represent the Father's nature, authority and power, so the believer is called to represent Jesus by not only using His name but by living in His name (see John 5:43; 10:25; 17:6; John 15)! Looking at Galatians 2:20, we noted how the apostle Paul lived his life in Jesus' name, having been crucified with Christ and living by faith in the Son of God to reveal Him and represent Him for God's glory.

The Lord is teaching us to be completely dependent on Him and to rid ourselves of our self-life so that Jesus is glorified in all that we say and do (see Col 3:17). Hallelujah!

Glory to God!

We are preparing for the Global Outreach Day (G.O.D.) on the 2nd June and yesterday Steve Greenhill presented this exciting venture and inspired us to be part of what is going to be a worldwide day of seeking to save the Lost and reconciling people to the Father. 

The Lord is teaching us about the nature of His Kingdom so that we will live the Kingdom life wherever we are. Yesterday the Lord showed us that His dominion is a Kingdom of blessing.

• Having received the gift of righteousness through faith in Christ, the believer has access to God's abundant grace. Rom. 5:1,2
• As the righteousness of God through Christ, the believer is an object of God's blessing. John 1:16; Gal. 3:13,14
• The believer is called to be an agent of blessing as an ambassador of the Kingdom of blessing. James 3:9-12; Rom. 12:14
• God's people are a blessed people. Numbers 22:12
• To curse someone is to denounce him and dishonour him (not treat as valuable). Numbers 23:8
• When we judge, criticize, and slander others, we curse them because we hold their "sin" against them. However God does not hold our sin against us and expects His people to be just as merciful and gracious as He is. Numbers 23:21; Matthew 6:14,15; John 3:17; 2 Cor. 5:19
• God wants His blessed people to be a people of blessing who live to bless others. 
• Blessing creates a culture of honour!
• The foundation of God's Kingdom is mercy and grace from which His blessing flows! 
• God is calling His people to rise up like a lion with the roar of blessing - the shout of the King. Numbers 23:21-24
• God's people must overcome the spirit of this world with the opposite Spirit of the Kingdom!
• When the believer blesses others, he releases Heaven on earth, bringing God's Kingdom of blessing into this world.

In the evening our team of 17 people ministered God's love and blessing to over 100 homeless and needy people in Frankfurt city. We praise God for His grace upon this ministry and for the salvation, healing and deliverance of people we witness every month. Glory to God!

Quote of the week:

"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit." Gal. 3:13,14
