Encouraged by His Word 27th March 2019

John 15.15

"No longer do I call you servants, for a servant, does not know what the master is doing but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you."

Dear Friend, get excited to know we have the best Friend in Christ Jesus!  You may be worried now thinking none understands you, all those pretended as  friends have forsaken you, cheer up my friend, though Jesus is King of kings, Lord of lords, Creator of heaven and earth, having all power and authority in heaven and earth, He loves you  so much that, He has declared that you are His friend. Marvelous! Once, an enemy of Him worked against Him being slave to satan, Jesus manifests His love, favor by forgetting what you were! He declares, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."(Heb13.5); "I am with you always, even to the end of the age."(Mt28.20) Pause for a moment, and meditate on these Scriptures. Can any friend in your life assure you this and live by the promise?                         Even after His death on the Cross, to redeem you, He has not left you orphan but is abiding in you in the form of Helper, Holy Spirit.(Jn14.16-18)  Amazing thing is, He is concerned of you even after your life in this world. Jn14.1-3, "He is preparing a mansion in His Father's house, once it is ready, He Himself will come again, to receive you to Himself, that where He is, there you may be also." Wow! What a marvelous relationship you and I have as friends with our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ of Nazareth!!!! As a Friend, He took our place on Cross, redeemed us from the clutches of the devil, reconciled us with the Father, entitled us to be the sons and heirs of God, gave us the Helper to intercede for us on earth; He is interceding for us in heaven;  He is preparing beautiful mansion for us in heaven and once it is ready He Himself will come down to take us to be with Him in eternity.

How you and I can be His friends? Jn15.14, "You are My friends if you do whatever I command you." Friend, today make a conscious decision to read, meditate on the Word of God, which are commands of Christ Jesus, understand them, believe them, follow and obey them. Let's not get decieved by only hearing the Word and not practicing the Word.(James 1.22-25) Word of God cautions us, "For as body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."(James 2.26).  Be open and transparent with Him, knowing fully well that you are having fellowship with your Friend, though He is the King and the Lord.     

As friends of Christ, our lives should reflect the character of our Friend, Christ, be His witnesses and Ambassadors, thereby bring honour and glory to our Friend in and through our lives.   


GET EXCITED, YOUR FRIEND , CHRIST JESUS DELIGHTS IN YOU AND REJOICES OVER YOU.... YOU ARE HIGHLY BLESSED..💐💥
