NEW CREATION

In Daily Bible Verses on October 25, 2011 at 7:01 pm
2 Corinthians 5:14-18
14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thusno longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all thingsare of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

ISAIAH 40: 28-31
ENCOURAGING WORDS
28 Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the LORD,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
31 But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

PRAISE THE LORD….

   Praise God in his sanctuary; 
   praise him in his mighty heavens. 
2 Praise him for his acts of power; 
   praise him for his surpassing greatness. 
3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, 
   praise him with the harp and lyre, 
4 praise him with timbrel and dancing, 
   praise him with the strings and pipe, 
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, 
   praise him with resounding cymbals.

 6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.

   Praise the LORD

To be free totally from sins, we need to accept the fact that we belong to Jesus completely. We have to crucify the flesh with all ungodly zest that entangle us. We must know our identity in Christ, Jesus dies for our sins and we do not have to be slave of sins. Reject all ungodly ideas that come to our mind before they turn into reality. I have to stand when people see me and when nobody sees me i have to be holy

Identify bottlenecks in your life

In Uncategorized on October 7, 2011 at 1:50 pm

In my Operations Management class, I’ve learned there are many factors that limit the performance of a system and restrict its output. They call these factors constraints.  While there are many types of constraints, I will focus on a particular one that is a bottleneck. A bottleneck is a special type of constraint that relates to the capacity shortage of a process or system, and it is defined as any resources whose available capacity limit an organization ability to meet services or product volume, product mix, or demand by the marketplace. Now, while you reading this, you might ask how a bottleneck or a constraint relates to our spiritual life? Actually it does. First, visualize yourself as an organization and your goals are to preach the Gospel and make disciples. We can call these services since we were call to be God’s servant. Second, God wants us to be holy since He is holy, and I can tell you not many of us have been in that state. As Paul said, “we all fall short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:28). Okay Reader, where does the bottleneck (restriction) take place?  Well, in our spiritual life a bottleneck would be anything that restrains us from accomplish God’s works or slow down our performance.

God blessed you!
