"Since You Are Looking Forward to This!"(2 Peter 3:14-15)

 “14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.”(2 Peter 3:14-15)

Greetings,

We are seeing the Day approaching! The Day of the Lord is coming upon us! There is encouragement from the Word of God on this topic. Our lives as believers in Jesus should be found without spots or blame. We can through our Helper, the Holy Spirit, be found at peace with Him. I have joy when I think of the Father's provision in every way.

Challenge: Think of the Lord's bearing long with us for our salvation! This inspires strength, hope, and courage! Glory to God!

"The Wise Ones!"(Matthew 25:4)

“The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. (Matthew 25:4)

Greetings,

The times are distressing! Surely we are approaching the end of time. Jesus taught in the parable of the virgins that preparation is needed. Preparation is wise. The lack of getting ready is foolishness. Everyday is time to evaluate to see if one is in the faith. We should be working out salvation with fear and trembling. Our thoughts should align with God's thoughts. We should be focused on the permanent that is eternal. Everything being of this world is temporary.

Challenge: Pray and pray some more! Cover your family, friends, associates, acquaintances, and even enemies for the saving of souls. There is a great urgency! By all means get some extra oil!

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.”(Matthew 25:13)

"Encourage Your Hearts!"(Colossians 4:8)

“I am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts.”(Colossians 4:8)

Greetings,

The Scriptures mentions at least two times when the Apostle Paul sent someone to encourage. We have different methods of sending such as texts, email, instant message, etc. Utilize these methods to be an encouragement to someone. It does not have to be long or complex. A simple thought with uplifting words can help build up a brother or sister in Jesus Christ.

Challenge: Encouragement may not be your gift or calling, but it does not take much to show others the love of Jesus. Amen!

"Words of Encouragement!"(Acts 20:2)

“He traveled through that area, speaking many words of encouragement to the people, and finally arrived in Greece,”(Acts 20:2)

Greetings,

Words are important! There is life and death in them. Some are meant to build up and others will tear down. Some are positive or negative. Our faith grows with words to strengthen it. Hope is built up by kind and enthusiastic words. Let us get in alignment with the Father, Lord Jesus, and Holy Spirit. Let us go around spreading words of encouragement.

Challenge: “For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.”(Romans 15:4)

"Eternal Encouragement!"(2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)

“16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace give us eternal encouragement and good hope 17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.”(2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)

Encouragement originates with God, our Father!  Jesus also facilitates encouragement!  Encouragement is needed for all people especially believers in Christ Jesus.  We need the courage and strength to take actions when facing opposition.  God is with us to rescue and help us!  Glory to His name!

Challenge:  Believer, the next time you need courage and strength look first to the Father and the Lord Jesus!  Amen

"Be Encouraged!"(Colossians 2:2)

"My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ,”(Colossians 2:2)

Greetings,

These writings are to encourage believers in Christ Jesus!  Encouragement is so needed!  I would prefer words of encouragement to stand firm, keep going, and be strengthened.  Our very lives crave such acknowledgment.  We can stay the course and endure when we utilize the gift of encouragement.

Challenge:  My beloved brother and sister, you are a follower of Jesus!  Stand firm in your most holy faith!  I pray your heart is filled with encouragement!  Amen!

"Peace Be With You!"(John 20:21)

“Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you!"(John 20:21)

Jesus is called the Prince of Peace. He promised and does give peace to His people.  It is not the peace of the world. Peace symbols and signs do not hold the peace of God.  God’s peace surpasses all understanding.  Turmoil, distress, etc. upsets the mind and soul.  The disciples felt this after Jesus’ death and resurrection.  His appearance and words were meant to comfort them.

Challenge:  Do you need comfort?  I encourage you to rely on Jesus and receive His peace.  Glory to God, the Most High!  Amen!

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”(Romans 15:13)
