HE DIED THAT YOU MIGHT LIVE

As we celebrate this season, let's remember the central theme: Christ came to earth as God in the flesh to offer his life for your sins and redemption. While many are focusing on things of choice, the believers ought to remember 2000 years ago, about this time, Christ went to the cross to restore the life lost in the garden of Eden through the failure of Adam. So as we go to church on Sunday, remember that the resurrection matters. All that we preach and believe depended on Christ coming back from the grave. So while some are looking for eggs and rabits, we will remember the LORD our GOD!

Position or Reposition Yourself

God is calling us to position, or reposition ourselves for what he is about to do in our lives as individuals, and as a church corporately. In almost everything in life positioning is key.

God is very keen on one being positioned at the right place...it starts way back in the garden of Eden when he came down and Adam and Eve were not where they were supposed to be.

The woman with the issue of blood had to position herself where she would give herself an opportunity to touch Jesus. She had to get out of the house, into the crowd, and position herself behind him to make that infamous touch.


All through the Bible, over and over again we see people who have positioned themselves for something supernatural to happen in their lives. When Moses wanted to see to glory of God, over ambitious as he was...God had to position him for the experience. Ex. 33:18-22

The Laodecian Church Age

We have slowly spiralled into the Laodecian church age blindly focusing on wealth, health, possession and status. It is interesting (while disturbing) that we have not taken serious what John wrote in Revelation 3. In a crave for gold and glamour the church has lost it's sense of purpose and need for intimacy with Christ.

We have often referred to Revelation 3:20 as a call to sinners/unsaved/none-believers to open their hearts and respond to Christ's call. The truth is, this is the church of our age, and it confirms the prophetic declaration Christ made.

This speaks of the church that has lost it's purpose, basking in the glory of earthly wealth and treasure, rich, but poor; fully clothed, but naked; appear to know clearly where it is going, but blind. The point is, Jesus says he is standing at the door and knocking...hoping someone will open the door and let him in. Imagine for a moment: in the middle of a (so called) worship service, Jesus is saying, "If any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and him with me" (Rev. 3:20).

I am sure if you look in most of our churches today you will clearly see the reflection of the Laodecian church in its most clear form. Take a good look and let's have a conversation.
