You are already clean because... (Part 2)

I wrote about my reflection on John 15:3 in my previous post: You Are Already Clean Because. 

If you are like me and have overlooked this wonderful verse, John 15:3 (NKJV) You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you, I urge you to read my previous post and pray that the Holy Spirit will reveal the truth and the truth will set you free. 


The Holy Spirit has been revealing and reaffirming one revelation to me throughout the past year or so. And that revelation has to do with my identity and my position in Christ, which is a position of victory. 

On top of being forgiven, redeemed, reconciled, saved and loved everlastingly, I am also already whole, already cleansed, already healed, already victorious, already righteous, already blessed in Christ. 

All that I am, all that I have, all that I do are in Christ. And therefore, all that I am, I have, I do are from a place of "already". 


In the same way, all that I am, all that I have and all that I do in Christ are from a place of victory. 

So, in every situation that we may face, in any battle that we are fighting, we are in it from a place of victory. Because of Jesus' victory. 


Quoting the words of a dear brother in Christ, Ps Ashok RK - 

"Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place." 2 Corinthians 2:14

Victory is the outcome of having fought a battle and won. Triumph is simply the celebration of that victory (E Francis).

Christ has fought the battle with sin and Satan and death and won. We have triumph always; we celebrate Christ's victory. This is Christianity.


He also wrote this - Start thanking and praising God and celebrating Jesus victory over sickness (see it in Isaiah 53), God will lead you out in healing and health. Start thanking and praising God and celebrating Jesus victory and God will lead you out in triumph no matter what the situation is.


Indeed, beloved in Christ, this is Christianity! 

Jesus has the final and complete victory. Therefore, in Christ, we are perpetually in a place of victory. 

In every situation or need that we may find ourselves in, let us give thanks, let us celebrate Jesus' victory. And see God lead us out in triumph!

Motherhood - Part 4 (Crucifying that Ideal)

Image
Now I wrote about the children's Mother's Day performance story  previously.   If you've read it, you would have known that while my daughter performed with the rest of the Sunday school children for Mother's Day, my son was nervous and chose to join us at the seats.  At the time, he was saddened that he didn't go up to perform. To which we have encouraged him to try again for Father's Day, which is today.  I also wrote about dying to my 'ideal'  here.   The Lord gently showed me how I had made an idol out of my ideal and gave me a renewed revelation on denying my 'self'.  Now why do I mention these 2 posts here, you wonder.  It's because today, on Father's Day, I was tempted to give in to my ideal (again).  Few Sundays ago, the children started their practice for Father's Day.  This time, we were more deliberate with our effort in encouraging Daniel to go on-stage.  Even motivating (more like bribing 😂) him with a reward to go on-st

Motherhood - Part 1 (Dying to Self)

Image
Mother's Day this year came and passed.  10th year being a mother and I can't say I've done a great job at it, but neither am I too bad at it. I am, to put it simply, a mother to the 2 children given to me from the Lord. Nothing more, nothing less.  The week before Mother's Day, I was filled with a sense of 'inadequacy' in the area of motherhood. And I couldn't help but to feel a little down on some moments. Especially after I got upset or angry at my children and reacted rather 'unmotherly' towards them.  On those days, I felt 'guilt'. I felt 'lack'. And that thing called 'train of thoughts' inside my mind took a train track down the path called 'worry lane'.  Along the 'worry lane', the train stopped at each train station.  How is Daniel doing compared to other kids his age?  How will Daniel's future look like?  Have I done enough to prepare/ train my Daniel for future?  How will he fare after we, his par

Reflection from Daniel - Nebuchadnezzar

Image
As I read about Nebuchadnezzar in the book of Daniel, I kept thinking of these words:  The frailty of man.  Read Nebuchadnezzar's story in the first 3 chapters of Daniel and let me know if you're not jaw dropped at the double-mindedness of this man.  Here are just some snippets from Daniel.  2:47 The king answered Daniel, and said, “Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets , since you could reveal this secret.” 3:15 Now if you are ready at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, and you fall down and worship the image which I have made, good! But if you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. And who is the god who will deliver you from my hands ?”  3:26 Then Nebuchadnezzar went near the mouth of the burning fiery furnace and spoke, saying, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of the Most High God , come out, and c
