Romans 10:17 So faith cometh of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
Heb 11:6 and without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.
To God be the Glory!
Shalom!
I was reading Exodus 36 this morning and I must admit I almost dropped my jaw with so much details on how to make the tent – the Holy Place – the tabernacle.After running through the last note of the chapter the Lord made me understand that whatever He has commanded us to do He has also given the provisions needed in order to implement what needs to be implemented.
This is true still in the new testament as we have been provided with all of what we need to overcome, conquer whatever we encounter today including that of the things we need to be doing like spreading the Gospel and making disciples. All of these gifts were given by grace.
As we walk this life we must understand that we all have what we need as it was all provided for through Jesus Christ.
In that regard the only thing that we can do is either to make excuses of not doing the things we should be doing or follow the will of the Lord and enjoy whatever reward the Lord has prepared for you and me.
Do not be left behind. Start enjoying the new things the Lord has been doing in this season. I know that it is not just for me – you can be a partaker of it also. Say this prayer and be part of the faith – "dear Jesus, I thank you for your forgiveness for all the sins I have done in the past. I believe that you came and died for me and three days later you rose from death and starting today I accept you as my Lord and Savior. I also believe with my entire being that new things will begin to unfold before my eyes and your will be done upon my life. I receive all of this by faith in Jesus Christ, amen."
If you said that prayer, I am happy as well as the angels in heaven who are celebrating for your name has been written in the Book of Life. You have made me very happy and I am overjoyed by your decision of faith. Drop me a mail mlester1997@yahoo.com.ph, send me your prayer request so I can pray for you and your family.
To God be the glory!
Shalom!

This is a very interesting chapter as this spoke of the rest in Sabbath.Now the question of whether Saturday or Sunday is the Sabbath then the answer lies within the culture of where this came about.Sabbath or Shabbat for the Jews starts from sundown of Friday and ends sundown of Saturday.
The point that I will be driving at today will be about the rest the Lord has commanded us to do.Although I can not discuss in detail the Jewish Custom for Shabbat here but a general directive must be that during this period all of us must stop work.No phone calls related to you job nor coordination that pertains to your work on a regular day.
Exodus 35

What is interesting to note here that our Jewish brothers and sisters take this time with their family.This translates to better relationship at home for every member of the family if you make this as part of your life Shabbat celebration then not only will you be building relationship with the Lord you will also be improving your relationship with your loved ones.
I do not discount the debates others will raise pertaining to Sabbath but my point being if you read the text;
Exodus 35:1And Moses sent for all the children of Israel to come together, and said to them, This is what the Lord has said and these are his orders.
Exodus 35:2Six days let work be done, but the seventh day is to be a holy day to you, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord; whoever does any work on that day is to be put to death.
Exodus 35:3No fire is to be lighted in any of your houses on the Sabbath day.
Follow the commandment of the Lord and spend a meaningful Shabbat every week then you will be communing with the Father in heaven as well as His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. As direct result as well – will be a time well spent with your family.
Besides you will have a better self to face a new Monday when you go back to work.

I just got home.I went out with my friend/brother Glen and my wife.We watched a movie – Clash of the Titans. I enjoyed it.The plot was good – something new but good. The graphics is seamless. The entire movie was great – thanks to Glen who shared his blessings and treated me to a movie. It has been awhile since my wife and I watched a movie.
The movie is a remake of the 1981 movie and just like the typical remake of today – this one is graphically intense.
The theme is very straightforward and that is Persius son of Zeus.Who is half god and half man.Of course the Persius was very confident as he feels that he can defeat Hades amidst the prophecy that he was supposed to die.I related to this theme in the context of my faith in God and how he has created me – a winner, a conqueror, a king, a man created in the image and likeness of God with dominion over all things on the earth.In that regard by the grace of God I will be living my nature.I just remembered a quote from Teilhard de Chardin "We are not human beings having a spiritual Experience. We are Spiritual Beings having a Human Experience."In that context I am going to live my nature by Gods grace. As God is for me then who can be against me? A quote from the book of Romans 8:31.
This must be our nature and this must be carried with us with humility and fairness.
To God be the glory!
Thank you very much Glen for your generosity. I thank God for the heart He has given Glen. God bless you my friend and brother!
