CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL -I HAVE ALSO SINNED

 CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL

I HAVE ALSO SINNED


God uses me despite my imperfections.





I DO NOT  know the first human being who is without sin. In any case, God can use whoever he wants to make an instrument of blessings for the rest of humanity. A few years ago, I remember having a conversation with my father-in-law, in which he told me about the need to be totally pure or holy to be a representative of God, which is totally true. The problem arises when people pretend that human beings who are priests of God, walk a foot above the ground and that our religious holiness is such that through our pores, we perspire angelic fragrances instead of smelly sweat. Personally, I really like to speculate, but considering that we priests should be like that definitely borders on stupidity.




"AND IF HIS TRANSGRESSION FROM HIM IS THE WEALTH OF THE WORLD, AND HIS DEFECTION FROM HIM THE WEALTH OF THE GENTILES, HOW MUCH MORE IS HIS FULL RESTORATION?"




Romans 11. 12

The Gospel of Christ reaches our hearts and will make changes in our lives. On many occasions, these changes will be transcendental and on others, it will take us years to achieve a definitive change. The Jewish people of Israel served as an example for the Church, with this it is intended that the same errors that we have recorded in the OT are not repeated. However, this does not mean that they are better or worse than us. The saying goes: “ignoring the past will make us repeat the same thing in the future”. For this reason, we have the OT as a biblical testimony of what we have and do not have to do.



"BECAUSE I SPEAK TO YOU, GENTILES. BECAUSE I AM AN APOSTLE TO THE GENTILES, I HONOR MY MINISTRY, IN CASE I MAY IN SOME WAY MAKE THOSE OF MY BLOOD JEALOUS, AND MAKE SOME OF THEM SAVED.”




Romans 11. 13-14



Jesus Christ said: Let one of you who is without sin cast the first stone… Woman, where are you? Does no one condemn you anymore? Nobody, sir. Nor do I condemn you. Now leave and do not sin again. If Jesus of Nazareth did not condemn this woman, why should we condemn others knowing that we also have sins? Why should we condemn nations, cultures, ethnic groups and races, knowing that in the recent past, we were also as they are today? Let us not condemn anyone, let us extend the kingdom of Christ, let us demonstrate the love of God for all humanity.


God bless you.

CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL- A FIRST TIME


CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL

A FIRST TIME


God use me even if he does not understand it today.








NO human being likes to be experimented on. At the age of 36, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, but I did not pay attention to this disease until, before shoulder surgery, it was verified that my blood glucose levels were about to produce a coma. From that moment on, I took control of my blood sugar very seriously and how I can help my pancreas to once again generate that much-needed insulin to give energy to the cells and thus have life within me. Israel is the pioneering country in research on the pancreas. A short time ago, I tried to make contact with the research doctor at the University of Israel so that she would use me when the clinical trials in humans begin. And although I do not like being used, I am willing to start this experimental medicine with me. So, if I am willing to lend myself for the good of others on a medical level, how can I refuse God to use me even if I do not understand it?




“AND DAVID SAYS: MAY YOUR TREAT BE TURNED INTO A TRAP AND IN A NET, INTO A STUMBLER AND IN RETRIBUTION; MAY THEIR EYES BE DARKENED SO THAT THEY CANNOT SEE, AND TURN THEIR BACKS FOREVER."



Romans 11.9-10



The Gospel of Christ makes us vulnerable before God. That is, God knows our lives and everything that happens around them. Therefore, if God wants to work with us, he will work from our weaknesses so that they become strengths. Many of us were not born in Christian homes, but God will use our lives before Jesus Christ, therefore, he can use it so that this testimony of example to others of his great power and love.



“I SAY, THEN, HAVE THEY OF ISRAEL TRIPPED THAT THEY MIGHT FALL? IN NO WAY; BUT BECAUSE OF THEIR TRANSGRESSION SALVATION CAME TO THE GENTILES, TO MAKE THEM JEALOUS."




Romans 11. 11



God's salvation for all mankind began with the people He chose, the Jewish people of Israel. From there, fulfilling what was promised, his word has spread throughout the earth. Not for that, we have no responsibility. In any case, now we are the ones who have the obligation to continue giving testimony to all the rest of humanity, to know God and much more, to all those who still do not know him today. God can use us even if it is our first time.



God bless you.

CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL - LET US CONTINUE WITH THE WORK


CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL

LET US CONTINUE WITH THE WORK


We live in a continuous relay race, are we ready?





WHEN he was a child, he attended the 6 am mass daily. My parents raised me in the Catholic custom. I learned what it is to have faith, and that one of the ways to teach this faith is by performing works such as religiously attending all scheduled church events, visiting the dead, sick and needy, giving to the beggar and help all my neighbours as a way to ensure my salvation and thus please God and calm his anger against me. When I decided to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour, I understood that these works are good and necessary for my testimonial life, but in no case are these works necessary for my Salvation. I also understood that God is not an angry being who is looking for me to sin to unload his anger for me, rather the opposite, God loves all humanity so much that he decided to give his own Son to rescue, save and redeem all Humans.




“AND IF BY GRACE, IT IS NO LONGER BY WORKS; OTHERWISE GRACE IS NO LONGER GRACE. AND IF BY WORKS, IT IS NO LONGER GRACE; OTHERWISE THE WORK IS NO LONGER WORK.”


Romans 11.6



When the Gospel of Christ becomes a reality in our lives, it empowers us to go preach the Good News of Salvation. This work is not exclusive to a few, in any case, it is an imperative action given by Jesus Christ to all Christians: Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and Holy Spirit; teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and behold, I am with you every day, until the end of the world. Amen. Therefore, going to teach the Gospel of Christ and not doing work is totally null, because the latter is the direct consequence of the action of the Holy Spirit in each one of us.




"SO? WHAT ISRAEL WAS LOOKING FOR, IT HAS NOT REACHED; BUT THE CHOSEN HAVE REACHED IT, AND THE OTHERS WERE HARDENED; AS IT IS WRITTEN: GOD GAVE THEM A SPIRIT OF STUPOR, EYES THAT DO NOT SEE AND EARS THAT DO NOT HEAR, UNTIL THIS DAY.”


Romans 11. 7-8



We have no more excuses, time is short and soon the glorious return of Christ will manifest. We must do the work of the extension of the Kingdom of Christ. We have to preach in season and out of season. Let us preach God as if there were no tomorrow, because perhaps it is so…



God bless you.

CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL- BY GRACE

 CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL

BY GRACE


In the least expected corner, there is a human being needed by God.







EVERY time I have the opportunity I speak of the love, mercy and grace that God has for human beings. And I do it, simply after my life experience that has allowed me to feel that love, that mercy and that grace of God in every moment of my life. When I first heard of Jesus Christ as a personal Saviour, when I was a teenager, at that time I was a real junk for my parents and in response to this, my mother sought help through an acquaintance of hers who took me to the Student Crusade and Professional from Colombia. At that time, they were not constituted as a church but as a missionary movement in Manizales. But, they did a lot of youth meetings on Friday and Saturday nights. It was a real party just like you could be in a disco. However, no alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs. In the middle of that party, the leader gave a talk, which was inspired by the Bible, without saturating with ecclesiastical terms, but with a direct shot about the need to give our hearts to Jesus Christ and with it, have a personal encounter with him. and maintain that relationship of separation with God. By grace we receive, by grace we must give.




“BUT WHAT DOES THE DIVINE ANSWER TELL YOU? I HAVE RESERVED SEVEN THOUSAND MEN, WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE BEFORE BAAL.”




Romans 11.4



I am still surprised when I can talk to religious people, for them, all of humanity is given over to the adversary. The entire society and the monetary, social and cultural system revolves around the kingdom of darkness. There is nothing, and no one, according to them, no one is saved. But, what does God tell us about that: I HAVE RESERVED SEVEN THOUSAND MEN, WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE BEFORE BAAL. Therefore, as people who have been saved by divine grace, we have to extend the kingdom of Heaven, in season and out of season, because: we do not know when our time will run out! We have to present Christ to all the people around us. We have to Evangelise and bring the Good News of Salvation to all human beings.





"SO ALSO EVEN IN THIS TIME THERE HAS REMAINED A REMNANT CHOSEN BY GRACE."




Romans 11. 5


You and I are part of that remnant chosen by grace. Now it is up to us to add more chosen by grace to the divine Plan of Salvation. It is not enough to have a good example, which is fine, but you have to talk about God's grace, supernatural love and the demonstrated mercy of God the Father through his Son Jesus Christ.


God bless you.

CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL -NO EXCLUSIVITY

 CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL

NO EXCLUSIVITY


God will show his power to all mankind.







A very serious error that I came to comment on was the fact of considering that God manifests himself exclusively in the church. This same failure, but at the doctrinal level many congregations comment, that is, consider that only salvation is found in their teachings and traditions. I say this because I am knowledgeable about Catholic doctrines, as well as Protestants in this sense, which for a long time have tried to make salvation an exclusive self-given value giving the authorship of it, as God's design. However, when we can clearly read the Word of God, we discover that the opposite is true. God manifests himself for all humanity. Jesus Christ died, for all humanity. God desires salvation for all mankind. Now, another thing is that the children of God have exclusively some things inherent to remaining in the presence of the living God. Because the only way to be saved is: More, what does it say? THE WORD IS CLOSE TO YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART, that is, the word of faith that we preach: that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved; because with the heart one believes for justice, and with the mouth one confesses for salvation. Romans 10. 8-10.




“AND ISAIAH SAYS RESOLUTELY: I WAS FOUND BY THOSE WHO WERE NOT LOOKING FOR ME; I MANIFESTED MYSELF TO THOSE WHO DID NOT ASK ABOUT ME.”



Romans 10.20



Therefore, extending the Kingdom of Heaven through the Gospel of Christ is the proper way to do it. There is no exclusivity for any church or congregation about salvation. God manifests where he wants. God demonstrates his love for all humanity every day. Let us remember Nineveh, God took pity on them and sent them messages to repent and they did so; more than 120 thousand people were saved and enjoyed God's blessing.





“BUT ABOUT ISRAEL HE SAYS: ALL DAY I STRETCHED MY HANDS TO A REBELLIOUS AND CONTRADICTING PEOPLE.”



Romans 10.21



It is not very contradictory that those who consider salvation as exclusive property, according to what God says, they are in rebellion. Perhaps, does the Spirit of God not have enough power and autonomy to decide whether to use a Pharaoh, Darius, Nebuchadnezzar, or whoever he wants to demonstrate the power and love of God? If God one day used a donkey to speak to a prophet and testify, why should not he use you and me to testify and extend the kingdom of Heaven?



God bless you.

CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL - IT IS UNAVOIDABLE

 CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL

IT IS UNAVOIDABLE


It will be done, because it is the firm will of God.








IN all the profiles of my social networks it says that I am a writer, a pastor, an evangelist, a useless servant apprentice. There are countless devotionals where I assure and affirm about my bad mood and my strong character. In some writing I have affirmed about how I have gone overboard with Ani in the way of answering her. I have had to admit that I lacked tact in treating my children, however, I have never been an absent father. Also, I am sure I have written: “I do not understand why God uses me to extend his kingdom”. Anyway, one thing I can be sure of is that, if I do not do it, God will use another imperfect glass to bring water to the thirsty. God will put another wounded soul to heal another wounded soul. God will use the stones to extend the Kingdom of Christ and his Justice if I decide to remain silent. Because the Evangelisation of humanity is inevitable.




“BUT I SAY: HAVE YOU NOT HEARD? BUT, THROUGH ALL THE EARTH THEIR VOICE HAS GONE OUT, AND THEIR WORDS OF HER TO THE END OF THE EARTH.”




Romans 10.18



We can already get the excuse from God that we please, however, if God has given us an order or an instruction, in due time it will be carried out. But, if we voluntarily refuse to obey that instruction, God will use whoever is really willing to do so. When we receive the true Gospel of Christ, the itch and desire to extend his Kingdom and prove that he really is alive will consume us and cause us to move in favor of the Kingdom of God.



“I ALSO SAY: HAS NOT ISRAEL KNOWN THIS? FIRST MOSES SAYS: I WILL PROVOKE YOU TO JEALOUSY WITH A PEOPLE THAT IS NOT A PEOPLE; WITH A FOOLISH PEOPLE I WILL PROVOKE YOU TO WRATH.”




Romans 10.19




The Jewish people of Israel continue to be the people of God. So to speak, they are in a time of recess. Now, those of us who follow Jesus Christ, all of us who have confessed Jesus of Nazareth as our Saviour, Redeemer and King, are the people of God. And trying to reveal this last verse, God can use us to cause a jealousy over that Jewish people of Israel towards the love of the Heavenly Father. Let us take advantage of every act, every word, every work we do to extend the Kingdom of Christ, because simply doing it is unavoidable.


God bless you.

CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL - WE DON'T WORRY

 CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL

WE DON'T WORRY


What we sow, we will reap because God will make it possible.









YESTERDAY I saw a program on Disney Chanel with the famous Spanish chef, José Andrés. In said documentary, they show the NGO directed by him: “WE FOOD WORD”. This man has a company with about 30 restaurants, but most of his time is spent feeding the most needy people, whether due to a natural disaster or as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic. Thousands of meals he selflessly distributes and he never lacks divine provision, because everything he does, he does selflessly helping his neighbours, in addition, he supplies the basic food needs for the indirect authors of the disasters, that is, all those of civil and military organisations that are assisting natural misfortunes. José Andrés, understood that the gift that God gave him, has to be used much more than to generate money, he wears himself out without knowing it and perhaps, without giving glory to God, in the extension of the Kingdom of Christ. He does it, and the faithful children of God who are experiencing misfortune, see the hand of God and the provision of the Almighty despite what they have had to live through, through a selfless Spaniard who provides love, companionship and food in the most difficult moments of their lives.






“BUT NOT ALL OBEYED THE GOSPEL; BECAUSE ISAIAH SAYS: LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR ANNOUNCEMENT?




Romans 10.16




When the Gospel of Christ echoes in our hearts (mentality), we understand that we must perform acts that help to extend the Kingdom of Christ. But, we should be aware that many people are not ready to leave their way of thinking and accept the invitation of God the Father to approach his Presence and remain in a constant intimate relationship with him.



“SO FAITH IS BY HEARING, AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD.”




Romans 10.17



Therefore, it is our obligation to do everything in our power to extend the Kingdom of Christ, we will do it through Evangelisation or demonstration of God's love. Let us not worry, rather, let us take care of doing it, because as the Apostle wrote: I sowed, Apollos watered, but God has given the growth. So he counts neither the one who sows nor the one who waters, but only God, who is the one who makes it grow. He who sows and he who waters are on the same level, although each will be rewarded according to his own work.


God bless you.
