“King
Is Nurturing God, Daily Offering Messiah!(K.I.N.G.D.O.M)”
Ramesh C. Reddy
SCRIPTURE:
APPROACH QUESTION:
OBSERVATIONS:
The Virgin Mary learns 5 things about
Jesus from the angel:
Jesus will be great!
Jesus will be called the Son of the the
Most High!
Jesus will have the throne of David!
Jesus will reign over the house of
Jacob forever!
Jesus’ kingdom will never end!
I asked myself what stuck out to me
regarding Jesus?
INTERPRETATION:
IMPLICATIONS:
After thinking about how awesome it is to be part of Christ's
Kingdom, I was reminded of how my mommy
was able to lead a young Indian man to
accept Jesus Christ as His Lord and Personal Savior so he can be
part of Christ's Eternal Kingdom as revealed in the Gospels. I was
so excited to hear about his conversion and prayed with my mommy,
praising the Lord. I was also reminded of Luke
15 and the celebration that is going on in Heaven for that young man
being part of Christ's Kingdom.
Knowing that Christ's Kingdom will
never end and He made it available for me, for my precious wife
Chandraleela, for
my brothers Ravi, Raj, and Rohit,
for my in-laws, and all others to come to Him overwhelms me with
joy. I am so thankful to Jesus that our 14 1/2 month old daughter
Esther
loves to hear the Lord's prayer, song hear 'I have got the joy, joy,
joy' song, and 'Jesus loves me this I know' song.
Even though we miss our beloved daddy
dearly, who went to be with the Lord 6 years ago on Dec 17, 2007, I
know that dad gets to experience Jesus' Kingdom first hand.
He
is part of Christ' Kingdom and is worshipping the Lord in Heaven. It
is His grace that my daddy belongs to Jesus Christ. You and
your loved ones can experience Christ's Kingdom too as you give your
life to Him and allow Him to guide you and lead you.
He has made it available to you too.
As Christmas approaches, it is awesome to be
reflecting on Christ's Kingdom and what Christ came to do for you
and me. His Kingdom will never end and you and I can be part of it
too.
I ask you now dear friend, what
K.I.N.G.D.O.M will you be part of in life?
Imagine being a child of the King of kings
and Lord of lords. This King will reign forever and ever and Jesus
is His Name. He will take care of you and me. He rules with love,
mercy, grace and forgiveness. No matter where we have been and what
we have done we can come to King Jesus.
Yes, friend as I read about what the angel
foretold Mary about Jesus, it is so exciting! The excitement is
because 2000 years have gone by and those promises have been
fulfilled and Jesus is everything Scripture has foretold. His
Kingdom still reigns as the world celebrates Christmas commemorating
the Christ-child but He is not a child anymore. Yes, friend He has
become the King of kings and Lord of lords and reigns in majesty. He
is such a gentle, merciful, and just King. You can come as you are
to Him. Thank you Jesus. He is so majestic and we can praise Him
singing, 'Majesty (Here I Am)'
You can be part of this Kingdom no matter
where you have been or what you have done. When you come to
Jesus and allow Him to rule and reign in your life, He will take
care of the rest. Of course, that does mean obedience to the King
and forsaking of self and its desires. This can only be done when
you allow Jesus to work in you through His Holy Spirit for none of
us can save ourselves or become righteous enough to seek God.
Christ
alone can bring justification for our lives through what He did on
the Cross of Calvary to redeem us. He died for you and me shedding
His precious cleansing blood on the cross to deliver us from the
bondage of sin and death so we can be purified of all sin and
experience His Kingdom. Thank you Jesus.
When you come to the King of kings, Christ will begin a life of
sanctification for us so we can be daily transformed by His grace
until that day we experience glorification in His presence and
Holiness. Wow! We can be part of His Kingdom now and experience all
He has for us that is revealed in His Word, the Bible for you and me
this Christmas season.
When we wait until everything is right to
come to Jesus, that will never happen. We will be depending on
ourselves to be accepted by God than receiving His grace! He wants
to offer us His grace now! His favor and greeting is for you friend!
Just as Jesus offered His grace to the young
man and so many others to be saved, He offers it to you too. Come as you are and depend
on Christ to take care of you in His Kingdom for you will be His
always.
Will you do that this Christmas season and
receive His gift of grace?
There are only 2 kingdoms, the Kingdom of
God and the kingdom of Darkness. We can only be part of one. Jesus
wants you to be part of His Kingdom but He won’t force Himself on
you.
Won’t you come to Him as you are and allow
Him to take care of you?
May you know the love of the Lord Jesus and
keep your heart opened to Him this Christmas season and forever
knowing King is nurturing God, daily offering Messiah! Amen!
“King Is Nurturing God, Daily Offering
Messiah!” (K.I.N.G.D.O.M)/”What K.I.N.G.D.O.M will you be part of in
life?”
Prayer:
Lord Jesus,
You are my all in all. You are my Prince of Peace,
Rock, Savior, and Friend. You are my Holy Father guiding me through to live a
life of righteousness, holy righteousness. Oh God, I need you more than ever. I
need to feel your hands around me holding me tight. I need your love to surround
me so that you can glow in my life. Help me please Jesus. I desire in your
presence. Thank you for guiding me to live a life of righteousness. Oh God you
love me more than ever. You hear my voice when I cry out to you. When I seek
your face, you fill me up. You are my all in all. Thank you Jesus so much for
your help no matter what I face, your grace is available and you take my case.
Thank you for hearing us and answering us. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! AMEN!
(Most of the prayer is from a vineyard song called “All in All”)
If you would like to invite Jesus Christ into your heart and make Him a
daily part of your life, you can this very moment. You will never be
alone. You can claim God's promises for you in the Bible and see them
come true, before your eyes, in His wonderful timing. You don't have to
wait for a special time to come to the Lord. You can come right now as
you pray the prayer below, meaning it in your heart.
No matter what you feel in your heart, know that Jesus has come in
and resides with you! You are not alone! To make your walk strong with
the Lord, spend time in prayer talking to Him as you would to a friend.
You don’t need special words to talk to the Lord. Spend time in His Word
reading Psalms and turning them into prayer. Next allow God to heal you
and speak to you through the Gospel of John or Gospel of Mark before
moving on to other Books of the Bible! Slowly, let the Lord show you to
which Scriptures He wants you to go to next. It is also important to be
part of a body of believers to help you grow in the faith. Find a Bible
believing church that preaches the Word of God from Genesis to
Revelation proclaiming Jesus Christ our crucified and risen Lord who
brings us hope, healing, and help!
No matter who you are, it is not ever too late
to join a Bible-believing church or a college fellowship. I highly
encourage each of you to come to Transformers Small Group on Friday
nights at 7:00 p.m. and Oakland International Fellowship on Sunday
mornings at 9:30 a.m. for prayer, 11:30 a.m. for worship, 10:30 a.m. for
Sunday School, and 12:30 p.m. for fellowship lunch.
May the Lord's presence and peace fill you with His love now and
forever! Amen!
