POR GANAR HE PERDIDO

Imagen

 

Pero cuantas cosas eran para mi ganancia, las he

Hestimado como perdidas por amor de Cristo.

              FILIPENSES 3:7

Pablo en el texto no se refiere a ganancias,economicas,sino a ganancias del alma.

Toda su confianza estaba puesta en su lucha por alcanzar,por ganar a Dios.

En sus esfuerzos humanos construyo una escalera perfecta.

Cada peldano era logros al cumplimiento de la ley.

Nadie podia reprocharle nada. Habia hecho todo. Se enseguesio con su meta

Y dejo a Dios de lado. Pero Cristo lo busco y lo alcanzo.Le mostro la meta.

Pablo pudo ver que la escalera no es necesaria.

Es mas,todos sus esfuerzos en ese sentido los considera basura,estiercol.

Conociedo verdaderamente a Cristo, todo lo demas queda en un plano inferior.

El es nuestro bien supremo, nuestra ganancia incomparable.

porque solo a traves de Jesucristo somos unidos al Padre Celestial.

Nuestra meta es vivir en su paz y compartirla.

 

 

 

 

 

The Known God

Acts 17:23-2523 for as I was walking along I saw your many shrines. And one of your altars had this inscription on it: ‘To an Unknown God.’ This God, whom you worship without knowing, is the one I’m telling you about. 24 “He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples, 25 and human hands can’t serve his needs—for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need.

Wow! I can imagine these men of Athens listening attentively, this was the ‘’new religion/philosophy’’ they all wanted to see what it was all about. Like the apostle Paul, we have to take advantage of these opportunities to preach the gospel of Christ, our Lords merciful news of salvation. All these men were very religious, they complied with all the decrees they had to carry out in order to please their ‘’gods’’. Everyone wanted to know about this Jesus Christ and what he had done. Some people thought it was just crazy talk, but they all wanted to hear what Paul had to say. There are millions of religious people in this world that have been brought up in a mechanical way of ‘’attending’’ church and haven’t realized truly who God is or can be for them. Our God is the giver of life and he sustains every single thing by his mighty power, so we must all give him the glory and praise that he is do. There is no other god besides our merciful savior Jesus Christ, and just like the apostle Paul explained it to these men of Athens, so we must explain how generous are God is to all those who need his salvation.

Prayer

Lord I pray that you give me the words and the genuine desire to speak on your behalf, let me tell the whole world how you saved me. So that all can see that you alone are God, you don’t need me Lord it is I who need you. Thank you for loving me and saving me Christ, I praise you Father. Give me the knowledge and wisdom to shine your light of salvation on this world full of darkness, amen.

Rejoice in Salvation

Isaiah 25:8-9

8 He will swallow up death forever! The Sovereign lord will wipe away all tears. He will remove forever all insults and mockery against his land and people. The lord has spoken! 9 In that day the people will proclaim, “This is our God! We trusted in him, and he saved us! This is the lord, in whom we trusted. Let us rejoice in the salvation he brings’’

The holy word of God says ’’ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. ‘’ Philippians 1:21, this is the apostle Paul letting everyone know how important it is to rely on our God no matter what you may be facing. We believe that death of the mortal body is for a moment and I have faith in my redeemer this is true. My God has proven to me his promises found in the Holy Bible and I thank you Father for helping me all the days of my life, and for the life that you have granted me. I am blessed to declare and to preach the gospel of Jesus, the good news of salvation. Every time God provides an opportunity to share his message and wonderful mercies we must speak. This is our time to declare how mighty our God continues to be. Remember to rejoice, life can get really tough at times but through it all the Lord will always provide his joy no matter how tough it may get.

Discover Your Spiritual Gifts

spiritual_gifts

1 Peter 4:10

New International Version (NIV)

10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.


There are a few things to note here. First, this verse tells us that we have received gifts from God. We cannot let them be idle, we have to use them for His honor and glory. It might be that we are unaware of the gifts that we have, but we definitely do have them, and we can find out what they are with the revelation from God through His word. Second, it says here that these gifts have a purpose—to serve others. Not ourselves, as some people might have thought, but others. Once we learn what our gift is, we have to use it to be of a blessing to those around us. Third, it says that we have to faithfully administer God’s grace in its various forms.

Grace comes in various forms. Romans 12:6-8 says “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; If it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach. If it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; If it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.” By the grace of God we have received something powerful to be a blessing to others.

There may be gifts that you have that you are not yet aware of! I urge you to ask God to show you what your spiritual gifts are, and learn about them. Get equipped with knowledge and the wisdom that God provides through His word, prayer, fasting, and activate those gifts! There is a world out there who needs them!

Con Fe Vencemos

Yo se que mi Rendentor vive, Y al fin se levantara sobre el polvo.  Job 19:25

Nustras influencias negativas nos afectan, tenemos dolores fisicos y emocionales. Conflictos con personas desagradables, pasamos por hospitales y cementerios. Hay muchas cosas que no son de nuestro agrado, desastres naturales, el delito tampoco podemos ignorar las maquinaciones de satanas de oprimirnos y derotarnos. Job gozaba de buena salud y riquezas, Pero despues perdio todo lo que tenia. Apesar de todo el se mantuvo firme, aunque enfermo y casi muerto. El tuvo una conquista de su sufrimiento por medio de la Fe, nuestra fe nos hace victoriosos, y vencedores porque vivimos creyendo en nuestro Senor Jesucristo. Asi como el hizo con Job que permitio que el diablo lo sacudiera y lo hizo vencedor por su sufrimiento. En esa misma manera nos pruebla a nosotros para ver si confiamos en El y estamos dispuestos a recibir la victoria. 

Help Others

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he be stumbleth.

Proverbs 24:17

We should not rejoice for the mistakes that our neighbors do. It doesn’t matter if our neighbor is our friend or our enemy. We shouldn’t be glad when they stumble. As followers of Christ we need to have a caring heart and full of merciness like he was when he was here in person. We only look down at a person if we are willing to stretch out our hand for them to get up.

Amor Incondicional

clavos-no-mantuvieron-jesus-cruz

Juan 3:16

Porque de tal manera amo Dios al mundo,que ha dado a su Hijo unigenito,para que todo aquel que en el cree,no se pierda,mas tenga vida eterna.

El Amor de Dios es incondicional porque es un amor agape, por eso es un amor genuino y sincero. Por amor a nosotros se entrego a si mismo aun sabiendo lo que le iba a suceder. No fueron los clavos lo que lo sostenieron en esa cruz, sino fue su gran amor.  Porque siendo Dios, El hubiera podido renunciar, pero no lo hizo por amor al perdido y todo aquel que en crea. 1 Juan 4:10 lo confirma:

10 En esto consiste el amor: no en que nosotros hayamos amado a Dios, sino en que él nos amó a nosotros, y envió a su Hijo en propiciación por nuestros pecados.

Be A Blessing

“Bless those who persecute you; Bless and do not curse.” -Romans 12:14

What a difficult thing to do. To bless someone who is persecuting you, in our own human eyes and in our flesh that seems like an impossible thing to do, it makes no sense. Why would anyone want to bless the people that are persecuting them? It’s not what we want to do. But instead of acting on our flesh, let’s act in our spirit. We are filled with the holy spirit, and the fruit of that spirit is love. And love does not dishonor others-it is no self seeking, it is not easily angered, it bears all things (1 Corith. 13). So when we are being persecuted, let’s bless them, act on our spirit and declare blessings and not curses. Cursing someone does not help anyone, not them, not you. If we want the blessings to come down, let’s be a blessing.

EL PODER DEL PENSAMIENTO

Porque cual es su pensamiento en su corazón, tal es él.Come y bebe, te dirá;Mas su corazón no está contigo.
-Proverbios 23:7
Dios quiere renovar nuestra mente y quitar todo pensamiento negativo de fracaso, no puedo, y de incredulidad en Dios. Porque cuando el hombre hace mal uso de su mente se convierte en el campo de batalla contra el Espíritu. Es muy importante llevar todo pensamiento cautivo a la mente de Cristo. En Proverbios 6:18 “El corazón que maquina pensamientos inicuos,Los pies presurosos para correr al mal,” Dios dice que el abomina o aborrece el corazón que maquina pensamiento inicuos. Debemos ocupar nuestra mente mas en las cosas de Dios. Para así no abriri una puerta al enemigo de entrar.

” Gracias Señor “

Salmo 86: 12-13

“Te dare gracias, Señor mi Dios, con todo mi corazón y glorificaré tu nombre para siempre. 13 Porque grande es tu misericordia para conmigo; y has librado mi alma de las profundidades del seol.

Míro Señor hacia atrás, para ver el camino por donde me guiaste. Ahora veo con Paz, mi pasado, no para llorar por mis errores, sino para reconocer lo ciego que estaba espiritualmente, Tú me diste la dicha de descubrir la verdad de mis tristezas, las razones por las que fracasé en tantas cosas;  Ahora puedo entender, que en mi camino permitiste momentos de lucha intensa y de angustia para moldear mi carácter y traerme a tus brazos.

Sin tu Amor y Misericordia, nunca hubiera podido vencer mi dolor , en cada lucha, me diste el tiempo exacto y suficiente que yo necesitaba, para alcanzar la victoria. “No con mis fuerzas, Si no con Tú Santo Espiritu”.

Pero más importante aún , me diste el derecho por Tu Gracia y porque a Ti te placio, de ser llamado ” Hijo de Dios”, cuando te acepté en mi corazón, llenaste mi vida de sabiduría y del poder de Tú Espiritu.
