“SHARE
Having Almighty Redeemer's Emancipation! (S.H.A.R.E)”
SCRIPTURE:
OBSERVATION:
INTERPRETATION: (To be continued)
IMPLICATIONS: HOW GOSPEL GIVES ME TESTIMONY REGARDING S.H.A.R.E:
When I was a staff of InterVarsity
Christian Fellowship, I loved to emphasize I learned from Jesus that Jesus did not just SHARE the feel good things but SHARED whatever is going on in His life and what will happen to Him with a select few. I was able to do the same when I was with IVCF small group community and now LIVING ACTS community which is part of OIF. A biblically based small group community, where you can SHARE with one another, becomes very effective as it has been in my life. It starts with finding that community that you can trust and be part of. For me that community started with IVCF and then POTTERS CLAY to LIVING ACTS where I could SHARE what's going on in my life with those I could trust. There have been times where I SHARED and the response has been, 'NOT YOU RAMESH' but even so I have been LOVED, CARED, and PRAYED FOR. Even to this day, I feel the connection with the members of POTTERS CLAY and LIVING ACTS as I am part of LIVING ACTS cell group which is part of Oakland International Fellowship. Even at OIF, I want to SHARE, CARE, AND PRAY for one another to stand in the GAP: Loving God, Loving Another, Loving People everywhere.
O penly SHARE Once we are in a community of believers we can trust, they become our selective group that we can SHARE almost anything with. When Jesus SHARED, it was because Jesus had that selective community but more than that to set an example to me and others. Jesus never was superficial with the disciples but always at point even when they could not understand at the time. Everything Jesus SHARED had a principle behind it that he wanted the disciples to get. I learned when I SHARE, the Lord Jesus can use that time to bring PRINCIPLES in my life that can help me through His grace to be SANCTIFIED daily. It has not been easy for me the past few weeks especially towards the end of April and beginning of May because of issues the Lord Jesus had me confront in my own life. When I SHARED about COMPLAINING ATTITUDE, COVETOUS ATTITUDE, CRITICAL ATTITUDE, DOUBTING ATTITUDE, and REBELLIOUS ATTITUDE with members of LIVING ACTS, it was not easy but I have seen how the Lord Jesus already used that SHARING time to make an impact in my life. I have seen how SHARING my life with others and what I had been going through brought God's HELP, HOPE, and HEALING in my life in different occasions from the time my beloved dad of 37 years went into cardiac arrest, to the time he went to be with the Lord Jesus, to the time I needed desperate help with my website, to the times I have faced failure and shame, etc. SHARING led to PRAY and answers to PRAYER. I believe when Jesus SHARED with His disciples, it was so they can be ready and in prayer. If we look back to the Garden of Gethsamene, prayer was the focus there.
In summary, the Gospel of Jesus Christ
taught me two things this morning from this passage: When we SHARE, it gives others the opportunities to CARE and PRAY for us. I have been able to SHARE for the most part my weaknesses and my strengths with those in the former POTTERS CLAY cell group and the current LIVING ACTS cell group
I ask you now dear friend, what do you
SHARE with others? I love SHARING about my life with others especially if it is good but if an area of my life is not good or will not be good, I have a hesitancy to SHARE. If I know certain things will not work out and it will be a negative outcome in my life, I don't like to SHARE but have SHARED anyway with my mom, Pastor Hugo, and Edwin. As stated before, I have also SHARED a lot with the LIVING ACTS small group community. I thank the Lord so much for the people who He has placed in my life. We need to be open to SHARE positive and negative things in our lives with our closest confidants. Jesus SHARED them with His disciples who He hung out a lot with and taught them. We need to find people in our lives that we can be comfortable SHARING with and even when we are uncomfortable, we can know they are the right people Lord placed in our lives to SHARE. When SHARED, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not something to be taken lightly. It saddens me when people tell me that they are a Christian and can live their life now anyway they want to because Christ has already saved them and they are going to Heaven. This is cheapening God's grace in our lives and crucifying Christ all over again. When we give our lives to Christ and acknowledge Him as our Savior, we need to also acknowledge Him as our Lord. He cannot be our Savior without being our Lord first. Lord to me means Master and to whom our obedience is due. If I come to Jesus to be saved from my sins but don't have a desire to give up my sins, there is a problem in my life. When there is a desire to give up a sin but because of addictions, etc it is hard to do that it is good to realize it is hard because then instead of being SELF-DEPENDENT thinking we can do it on our own, we will realize our helplessness before a GRACIOUS GOD who can help to TRANSFORM US BY HIS GRACE. Justification by Grace saves us but it is Sanctification by Grace that helps us live victorious lives which of course started with God's SAVING GRACE. You nor I cannot do it on our own no matter how much we SHARE with others without the intervention of JESUS CHRIST in our lives. When we give our lives to Jesus, He will take care of the rest as we yield to Him. Sanctification is a process that I learned especially these past few months. Oh I want to be perfect ASAP but Jesus wants me to totally depend on Him and He wants you to do the same. No, I cannot save myself for only Christ can save me through His grace. But once I am saved, I should not be living my life however I want to. If I know something to be a sin and look past it because I am already saved and don't ask the Lord for help to change to overcome it, I have a issue with that in my own life. I maybe saved but won't be living a victorious and abundant life with the Master! We all should not cheapen grace by living our lives how we want to but live it in light of the cross. When we mess up, we have Christ our Lord and Savior to forgive us and make us clean restoring our fellowship with Him but when we know we have sinned and messed up, we need to take responsibility for it and approach God's throne of grace. I want to do that always and we all need to do that. We can boldly approach His throne of grace and find help in time of need! When we know we have sinned, if we confess our sins to the Lord, He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The focus is on Christ and not ourselves. It is hard to see myself as a follower of Christ when I am following my own heart's inclinations and desires. How am I different than the world when I say I am saved but live like the world does. If I live that way, I have a problem with myself. This is not to say I am perfect for God knows the sins I commit but thanks be to God that I can go to Him in repentance and receive His help. There is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, for the power of the life giving Spirit has freed me from the law of sin and death! When we as followers of Christ acknowledge our sin and go to Christ in repentance, we are still focusing on Christ and His grace has not been cheapened. We will never save ourselves by the good works we do apart from Christ. Good works without Christ cannot save us. Good works with Christ in our lives shows the fruit of Christ actually living in us. When we have Christ, the good works we do now are a result of the Holy Spirit working in us and through us. Now others see the fruit of Christ's work in our lives. This starts with surrender to Christ. May you SHARE with others that Jesus alone saves by His precious cleansing blood shed on the cross so that we can be saved by His grace. Once saved by His grace, may we live a life that is fruitful and bears fruit only Christ can produce in our lives through the Holy Spirit. When we do not see fruit in our lives may we ask ourselves how much have we truly surrendered to the Lordship of Christ or surrendered to our flesh's longings. As Edwin reminded me, it is more important to exhibit the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT in our lives than to exhibit SPIRITUAL GIFTS. When we walk with Jesus, He will help us bear the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT! Praise the Lord! "SHARE Having Almighty Redeemer's Emancipation! (S.H.A.R.E)/"What do you S.H.A.R.E with others?"
Prayer: May you experience the POWER OF CHRIST'S RESURRECTION this day, and give Him the LOCKED areas of your life too so you can experience His PEACE as you become an ACTOR in the film called LIFE being directed by your DIRECTOR, JESUS CHRIST who comes to give JOY and PEACE. You don't have to be locked away anymore for Christ is here to free you and give you peace to live out your actions. How do you look at GODISNOWHERE? One of my pastors, Pastor Hugo SHARED this example one Sunday at the RESURRECTION DAY SERVICE in the combined worship service of Pittsburgh Chinese Church-Oakland & Oakland International Fellowship: If you look at it as GOD IS NO WHERE, you will still be lost in your sin and be in bondage locked away in your sins and problems finding no peace. But as my pastor spoke to the congregation and spoke to me, I am here to tell you that GOD IS NOW HERE. Yes, friend God is alive and wants to bring a transformation in your life through the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ for He paid the penalty on the cross to rescue you and me and came back to life to save us and live with us. Yes, friend that is exciting to know that we can experience HIS SAVING GRACE & LIVING GRACE. When we mess up, we can go to Jesus with our shortcomings and He will forgive us and RESTORE us to Him and we will find peace in Him. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." (Colossians 5:17-21, NIV) "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23, NIV) "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:7-9, NIV) Friend, we need Jesus because we have been separated from God due to our sin. Because of our sin, Jesus had to pay the price to become our bridge so we can reach God now not of our own good works but because of the finished work of Christ, the Lord on the cross. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9, NIV) Come to Jesus as you are and pray this prayer to accept Jesus as your Lord and Personal Savior. He will transform your life around! Praise the Lord! You don't have to have all the answers! You can come as you are!
Prayer: 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! But beware of churches who do believe in the Word of God completely but there is no freedom in Christ but legalism involved. As a professional, it is not too late to join a church! As a student, it is not too late to join a fellowship on campus this new year of 2009! May the Lord's presence and peace fill you with His love now and forever! Amen!
Friend, if you have prayed this prayer and meant it in your heart, you are a new creation in Christ and all old things are passed away and everything has become new! You may feel something or may not but don’t base it on feelings but base your new life in Christ on the promises of our Savior who will never leave you nor forsake you! Amen! Spend time in His word and let the Lord speak to you! Start out in the Gospel of John! You can also check out the Gospel of Mark which are the devotionals I have been going through. Learn from Jesus through study and prayer. Also find yourself a church fellowship and a college fellowship you can be part of where you can be part of a community of believers to supplement your own walk with the Lord. Let it be a Bible-believing and Bible-breathing church! Believe in Bible Live Eternally! Feel free to email me at reddy4hisglory2004@yahoo.com if you want to meet to study the Bible, pray with, talk about Spiritual issues or whatever is on your mind!
