Aish, Relationships! When I think of relationships that scripture in Philippians 2 vs 3-4 comes to mind - “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind, let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” Read the full story

So often in my walk with the Lord I see how I can get so technical and often we fall into a routine with our walk with Lord. But when we see what the Lord has done for us and how He is working in us and changing us each day, how can we fall into this complacency? When Jesus died on the cross and rose again, He broke the chains of a formal relationship with him and brought us to a place where we can truly come to the father in a close relationship, devoid of the barrier of sin that held us for so long. The problem for us today though is our flesh, each day when we wake up we are faced with this carnal body, this body of death. As Paul says in Romans 7, so what happens now, we are free in Christ and free of sin but our flesh has sin residing in it? For me I see how the Lord, from the Old Covenant to the new covenant wants to go so much deeper in His relationship with us. With Jesus came grace and so when we are faced with our flesh every day we have to cry out to the Lord to save us and to pour out His grace upon us. This brings us to our deep relationship, we cannot do anything without the Lord, each minute of the day for all our problems. His grace is there to bring us out of the things we face, and sometimes to help us to go through things we would never be able to on our own. Its something that I have to keep coming back to, because as we know, serving the Lord can be HECTIC at times and I fall so often, but I thank the Lord for His grace to pick me up again. So whatever we bring before the Lord, problems, difficulties, weaknesses – His grace is sufficient.

Now in the church there are different anointings and callings given to certain people by the Lord for specific purposes, these are the 5 fold ministry gifts. Now what about everyone else? What is God expecting from us? What is His plan for us? There is one thing that is the same for EVERYONE and is part of God’s plan Read the full story
