HE IS RISEN

Matthew 28:5-6

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
--------------------------------------------
     Did the disciples of Jesus ever think that what He said would come to pass? I mean, did they ever hope that on the third day they would see what He told them? According to the atmosphere they presented, they didn't seem to be filled with hope and keep note of what He had promised. They had believed miracles because they saw that He had done them. It's like much of their belief was after something had transpired.

What would make them not to take note of the prophecy about the third day event? Maybe it's by God's design.
We see women who had no remembrance of what the Messiah had spoken about Himself. They went as usual for their job. They went with the anointings to cleanse the body as it was their culture. They didn't have any slight idea about what they would encounter.

A mighty earthquake shook the place. An angel had descended to bring great news to them - That the Messiah is not among the dead. The Messiah is risen.
They went in shock mixed with joy and also disbelief.
But Jesus appeared to them and the evidence was enough. But it is had to believe in a few moments. He didn't just come and go. That would seem ghostly.
He came and stayed with them for forty days. He ate with them and continued to teach as He used to teach amidst them. This was to groundly prove that God is God of both flesh and spirit.

                 GOD BLESS YOU

FORWARD Luke 13:33  In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—... --------------------------------------------    A Levite in the desert thought was cunning. After killing the Egyptian, he sauntered back to the community. Little did he realise that he was noticed by his fellow and that the news had gone about faster than it could. Knowing this, he fled to Midian where he met the Lord. And being asked by the Lord to rescue his people from slavery, Moses refused. He thought that role was better with someone more superior. But after the Lord insisting, he took the task. The people who were thought as slaves were no lesser to stubbornness and disrespect. They gave Moses hard time. But one thing that happened was forward movement.  Even the Lord used lots of wonders to sustain them through the journey and yet many died from their stubbornness. But regardless of their deaths, the journey went forward. God moved forward. Moses faced the worst of trial...

TRIBE OF LENDERS

TRIBE OF LENDERS   Proverbs 19:17  He who is kind and generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life with the mind of "it's not enough...it's not enough". By nature, we were created to recognize the fact that it's we first then .... We were created to survive and always know that there is not enough. Our genes have been made to think about ourselves alone and how we survive in the world of scarcity. This fact that thrives within us is not supposed to be proved true. There are several results that God has set for those that prove such rules wrong. You know, when you try to go against human nature and try to mimic the nature of God, you attract more of what God has set for the cause. As the human nature is self centered and self seeking, stepping out of such to pursue kindness and open hands attracts God's attention...it attracts the rewa...

RADICAL SOUL

RADICAL SOUL Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. --------------------------------------------    In our world today, it is easier to have your light set under the table than to have it be on top of the table. It is easier to move in a group than to move alone. Standing for the right is harder nowadays than it was those days. Not because the governments have become more ruthless than they were those days, but because powerful governments of social influence have arisen than they were those days. The weapons available today are more stronger than what it was those days with the luxuries available...the developments. The 'social governments' have set standards which will not tolerate any fickle person in their space. And being a standing army of a government we represent...one of divine agendas, means we need to be rooted in one way. We need the spirit of typicality.  Of course...
