CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL - WE ARE GRAFTED

 

CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL

WE ARE GRAFTED

So important is the trunk, the roots as the branches.

I  grew up in the city, therefore, I knew little about the countryside until I decided to take an interest in it. Like almost all the boys, he saw that the fruit came from the market and that the meat and vegetables simply came from the supermarket. When we were about 8 years old, at school, we let the lentil seed germinate and we saw how that seed became an important part in the regeneration of new pods that would give more lentils. When I was living in Spain, I learned that good wines are born from rotten vines that have been grafted with selected branches that have produced very good wines in previous years. As Christians, we must consider that we are branches grafted onto the tree of faith in God who first gave this faith to Jewish Israelites like Abraham, Isaac or Jacob, so that we might enjoy salvation in Jesus Christ.

“FOR IF SOME OF THE BRANCHES WERE BROKEN OFF, AND YOU, BEING A WILD OLIVE TREE, HAVE BEEN GRAFTED IN THEIR PLACE, AND HAVE BEEN MADE PARTAKER OF THE ROOT AND OF THE RICH SAP OF THE OLIVE TREE, DO NOT BOAST AGAINST THE BRANCHES; AND IF YOU BOAST, KNOW THAT YOU DO NOT SUPPORT THE ROOT, BUT THE ROOT YOU."

Romans 11. 17-18

The Gospel of Christ is to bring the Good News of Salvation of Christ for all humanity. We have no right to consider that salvation belongs to us or is exclusive to a group of people. On that same path, we must not allow any religion, dogma or belief other than the Gospel of Christ to dictate or tell us that they have salvation. By grace we were saved, by grace let us preach the Gospel of Christ.

“FOR THE BRANCHES, YOU WILL SAY, WERE BREAK OFF SO THAT I MIGHT BE GRAFTED IN.”

Romans 11. 19

The growing need for a healthy spiritual life is born from the very heart of God. The problem arises because humanity is confused and blind, and other blind and confused people are leading it. So much post-modernist philosophy and ideology distances us from the very essence of Christ's life, because the ego of the human being is above all else according to these post-modernist philosophies. However, what Jesus Christ said: Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any of you wants to be my follower, he has to abandon his own way of life, take up his cross and follow me. The challenge is here: how will we teach the Gospel of Christ to a society that is enchanted with new philosophies or ideologies? That same approach was what the early church experienced; this church has survived because it listened and obeyed the leading of the Holy Spirit. Let us assume this as a good life challenge and extend the kingdom of Christ, knowing that we are grafted into the tree of faith in God which is guided by the wisdom of the Spirit of Christ, acting in our lives.

God bless you.

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 - 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.

WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT

CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL -WHO CALLS ON HIM SHALL BE SAVED

CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL

WHO CALLS ON HIM SHALL BE SAVED

What are we going to do with some anti-religious biblical passages?

YESTERDAY I heard a preaching against the religiosity that affects the human being. We can see this religiosity since the dawn of humanity and in the biblical stories of Cain and Abel, the preacher demonstrated, said religiosity. In the Word of God itself, we are going to find some passages or verses that are anti-religious, therefore, the doctrine or dogmatics of some are without foundation. The Bible declares: everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. So, where are all those human and ecclesiastical regulations that we have imposed on human beings going to be when the Bible declares something as simple as invoking the Name of Christ?

“FOR THE SCRIPTURE SAYS: EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED.”

Romans 10.11

The Gospel of Christ does not embarrass anyone, on the contrary, it affirms and sustains it in decisive moments. If the Gospel of Christ decrees that only with the confession: "Jesus of Nazareth is the Saviour, Redeemer and King over all creation", He is enough to be saved, then we only have to confess it. I repeat, every other washer that we impose on the human being to be saved, is part of wanting to take power, authority and sovereignty from God.

 

“FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK, BECAUSE THE SAME ONE WHO IS LORD OF ALL, IS RICH TOWARDS ALL THOSE WHO CALL ON HIM; FOR EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.”

Romans 10.12-13

Do we have to manage God's agenda? Says the Word of God, who knows the Mind of God? And just as God demands of Job: do you know the measurements of the stars that are in the firmament? In the same way, there will be many things that we can answer, while others we must leave to God. For now, let us extend the kingdom of Christ and evangelise on time and out of it.

God bless you.

CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL -DOING WELL

 CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL

DOING WELL

There is no best way, only God will give us the true way.

WE are not a gold coin to please everyone. That is, if we say white, there will be those who want a black or others who want it to be gray. For things like you are, I have earned countless problems in life. Trying to keep everyone happy is an impossible task to accomplish; what has to be clear to us is that we will try to do what God wants us to do. Let us try to do things right. When we talk about doing things right, we must keep in mind that we will try to do it by appealing to divine justice, so that the Name of the Heavenly Father is glorified.

“FOR THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS BY LAW, MOSES WRITES LIKE THIS: THE MAN WHO DOES THESE THINGS SHALL LIVE BY THEM.”

Romans 10.5

The Gospel of Christ leads us to be new creatures, where what was old remains in the past and Jesus Christ renews us. Therefore, we live with faith in the Son of God, knowing that we no longer have to do works to obtain our salvation. Jesus of Nazareth, on the Cross of Calvary, defeated death and the kingdom of darkness, therefore, he gives us salvation and eternal life, by the mere fact of accepting with all our understanding that Jesus Christ will be the one rule our lives and therefore, we will enjoy eternal life together with him.

“BUT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS BY FAITH SAYS LIKE THIS: DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART: WHO WILL ASCEND TO HEAVEN? (THIS IS, TO BRING DOWN CHRIST); OR, WHO WILL DESCEND INTO THE ABYSS? (THIS IS, TO BRING CHRIST UP FROM THE DEAD).”

Romans 10.6-7

Jesus Christ did it right. Jesus of Nazareth is the Good Teacher, because he does everything well. It remains for us to imitate him and allow others to know the Truth, the Way and the Life. The Kingdom of Heaven must continue advancing, and our duty is to do so, in and out of time.

God bless you.

CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL -CHILDREN OF THE PROMISE

 CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL

CHILDREN OF THE PROMISE

I have surnames and family rights.

I AM the son of Bernardo and Fanny. But whatever inheritance rights I may have, I have to share with five more brothers. I want to confess something, my family group is made up of two other brothers. Martha was a foster girl that my mother took in when she was young, and Mary, who is from the first marriage that my mother previously had. I am very sure that when I get to my parents' house, I get to my house, that is, I do not have to ask permission to go into one room or another, to sit at the table, to open the refrigerator and have a drink. Well, everything my parents have is mine. But, what each of my brothers may feel, I am not entirely sure.

“NOT THAT THE WORD OF GOD HAS FAILED; FOR NOT ALL THOSE WHO DESCEND FROM ISRAEL ARE ISRAELITES, NOR BY BEING DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM, ARE ALL CHILDREN; BUT: IN ISAAC YOU SHALL BE CALLED OFFSPRING.”

Romans 9.6-7.

Today, we are commemorating the sacrifice of Jesus of Nazareth on Calvary's Cross. This unique and precious act granted us Salvation, but at the same time, it gives us the authority and property of being considered children of God. For all of us who accept it, we now have a family. Therefore, whoever does not want to recognise these rights is missing out on the privileges of the Kingdom of Heaven and all the benefits of being children of God.

“THIS IS: NOT THOSE WHO ARE CHILDREN ACCORDING TO THE FLESH ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD, BUT THOSE WHO ARE CHILDREN ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE ARE COUNTED AS DESCENDANTS”

Romans 9.8

We are children of the promise that was fulfilled in Christ Jesus. Now it does not depend on whether we are Hebrews, in any case, it will be because of the acceptance of Jesus Christ as the Lord and Saviour of our lives. Let us therefore accept all the rights and privileges of being children of God's promise and let us live as beings dignified by the action of the Cross of Calvary made by Christ Jesus.

God bless you.
