#184 Walk in the Light & Love of Christ

A blessed and reflective reading to all :)

Ephesians 5 

Walk in Love

5 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

3 But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. 4 Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead 


let there be thanksgiving. 


5 For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not become partners with them; 8 for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. 


Walk as children of light 
9(for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), 


10 and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. 


11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. 13 But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, 14 for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,

“Awake, O sleeper,
 and arise from the dead,
 and Christ will shine on you.”

15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 


17 Therefore do not be foolish, 
but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but 


be filled with the Spirit, 19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, 20 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
21 submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.




Praise the Lord!

To walk in the light and love of Jesus Christ is too wonderful to describe. It is not something all people experience, but what Christ assured us everyday is that it is free for all, you just need to accept Him and His offer of love, of light, and of salvation.


It is a fact that truly "the days are evil,"


all the temptations-- worldly pleasure, personal greatness, wealth, honor and prestige, materialism, etc., these are all around us. If we are not careful and if we don't have a strong grip of God and His calling on our lives, we will surely fall on the trap of the evil one- satan and his demons.


We have to be aware that the evil one is a cunning, conniving, deceitful, father of all lies whose only target is to destroy our lives-- all of us, no exceptions, believers and non-believers. 


Remember, anything that is not good, right & true, and is not in the light of God comes from the evil one. He is the ultimate "Voldemort", the fallen angel of doom, the one who wants to be equal to God, the prince of the air of this world, the one ultimately condemned to the eternal lake of fire. And he is recruiting lots and lots of people to join him.


Ponder this: 
Would you prefer to join satan and his demons and be part of his dominion and be thrown in the lake of fire eternally, your soul being tortured everyday for the rest of your life, or embrace Jesus Christ, the God of love and light whose eternal purpose is to reconcile the whole humankind to God, to Him, and be with Him in the kingdom He have prepared for all who accepted and will accept Him.  


Do not think twice, 
accept Him, He is the only choice, the greatest choice :)


God bless us all :)


May Jesus' love abounds in us all everyday (".)

February 10, 2012- 2 Samuel 11-12; 1 Chronicles 20 

Today is the day :)
If you have not received Jesus Christ yet in your heart, today is the day. May you embrace His love and His gift :)


"Lord Jesus, I believe You are truly the Son of God. I confess that I have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed. Please forgive all my wrongdoing, and let me live in relationship with You from now on. I receive You as my personal Savior, accepting the work You accomplished once and for all on the cross. Thank You for saving me. Help me to live a life that is pleasing to You. Amen." (ref prayer by: Dr. Charles Stanley, InTouch Ministry)

Why am I doing this? 
Simple...."I am driven by the eternal destiny of others."
