the Power of Now

Most oftenly what we have currently is more valuable than what we think we dont have or we will accomplish in the future.

it was said that Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift, that why we call it present.

we are prone to think that that which is in the future is perhaps more glamorous than what we enjoy currently. We think and believe that our joys and bliss are found in some future date and therefore when we are tempted to enjoy the moment , the unknown of tomorrow catapults us into a fear and a waiting mode.

Theology itself has done us no more justice. Salvation in its quarters is deemed to have been accomplished but not fully yet. we  were saved we  are saved and we will be saved . The most logical thinking is to think that there s some happiness, some joy, some peace that God has purposed for us not to enjoy here on earth but in heaven in some future date albeit we can taste that here briefly.

Come to think of it. It  doesnt add more faith to think that God will do something for you in future that he hasnt done currently. Faith is not believing that God will do something in the future but faith says now. Faith is a response to the overwhelming evidence of Gods preceding actions. Faith is the mouth that recieves and eats the substance of Christ. Picture this;


He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?Rom 8:31
  


Friends , there is nothing God is withholding from us at the moment. If he gave us Christ, then he has freely availed everything that pertains to life and Godliness.This means we can Live Consequently of what God has done for us .This is the language of love. God is joyed when we are satisfied in him. When we acknowledge that we have been made complete in him. Does this mean that we have to validate this by what we see with our physical eyes?

At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. 9 But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.(Heb 2:8b-9)

presently we dont see everything subjected under Christ but we do see Christ crowned with glory and honor. And when we see Christ crowned wit glory and honor, we see ourselves too redeemed and restored in Him.This means that even though we don't walk on water like Jesus did or not all people are healed as we ought to see, it does not negate or contradict the extent of what Christ has already accomplished for us. Its a tragedy to see yourself less of what Christ sees you to be.

Let us embrace fully as we have been embraced the gift of christ.Let us see ourselves through the lenses of completion for what we believe or have been fuly convinced of is most certainly sure of being manifested in the physical, Halleluiah . 

Why is the gospel the good news?

Because it is an announcement: if I had something good and keep it to myself, the good thing remains with me. The gospel is not the go...
