Jonah's fish in Peter's thought

 


An Emoji Devotional for Mon, June 2023


Today: Jonah's fish in Peter's thought 


Highlights: 

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

Luke 5:8 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/luk.5.8.KJV



Peter was a considerate and generous man, He had never thought it would be unfair to be angry when Jesus asked for his boat after his fruitless effort fishing all day without a catch. He gave his boat and listened to Jesus speak. The word Jesus teached had an impact on Peter, however, Jesus had to show appreciation by giving Peter all He had been labouring for all day within a minute. This broke Peter down on His Knees both in physical and emotional form to convict himself as a sinner before the Good judge of the Universe. Depart from me, I am a sinner, meaning, your reciprocal generosity was a mystery that gave me an unimaginable and generational achievement. Peter has never seen any caught so much fish that could make the boat sink. Peter must have received a gift that he deemed Holy. Perhaps he have been thinking of Jonah while he was trying to catch a single fish. 'Where is the fish that swallowed Jonah?'. Then suddenly someone came to use a useless boat. Who need a boat that could not be used to catch a single fish a whole day. Peter gave the boat out of relief that someone is using the boat for something worthwhile. In life, our efforts will not go to waste no matter what fruitless efforts we encoutered while trying but once we give Christ chance to have His way around our struggles to achieve His will, we will see all the blessings coming to us seamlessly. Jesus Is truly good.

Scripture is supernaturally pre-planned to educate our Spirit


 An Emoji Devotional for Sun, 18 June 2023


Topic: Scripture is supernaturally pre-planned to educate our Spirit

Highlight:

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
2 Timothy 3:16‭-‬17 KJV

The Bible is sacred and connected with God. The writings contained in the Bible is what we call the scripture. They are real life events that shows the greatness and omnipotent power of God. You must be inspired by God before you can publicly quote the scripture.  Because it contains sacred writings that carries life. God so cherished the scripture because it unravel some mysteries of how God supernaturally designed His plans and orders from heaven above to have His ways through those who devoted themselves to His worship. A first premium example is how God operated the creation of time to this present age, eg, commanding light by HIS WORD in Genesis 1:3 "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.". The above shows that God made light by declaration and "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Genesis 2:7 KJV
The above explained that our intelligence came from God because we have His own type of Breath in us called tye "breath of life".

So if you want to really learn about your source, it's not by tracing any ancestry, it's by opening the Bible to understand How God manifest His laws and interventions, what pleases and displeases Him, what He approves and disapproves.

By the scriptural understanding, God restored the power that was stolen from our ancestor, Adam back to us through Jesus Christ. We dare not question the authority of God as Nebuchadnezzar the great king of Babylon was able to testify in Daniel 3:28‭-‬29 KJV:
"Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
The power of Jesus Christ carries the original breath of life of the beginning.  We need to study about Christ to nitty-gritty in order to understand the power that was restored to us.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Romans 8:14 KJV

Let Christ lead you brother and sister. Do you have you Bible? Get your Bible and read to know more about your source today.
2 Timothy 2:15

Prayer: Dear God Omnipotent, creator of the Universe: Sanctify me through thy truth, for thy word is truth in Jesus name.

Wisdom tell us that we have loved something, have tried for something, and yet we let life teach us. What has life taught you, did you appreciate it with gratitude or is heart broken.

1 Corinthians 1:18 NIV


For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.


1 Corinthians 1: 24


Listen to me friend, what God wants for you is to be wise and brave and be safe. In today's world, everyone is coming to Jesus Christ. They have now come to understanding that Jesus is the way of life. Revival is spiraling to every countries and we can see it with our eyes.

Even in the Mist of Struggles it's still a Good Friday

 An Emoji Devotional for Sat, April 8, 2023


Topic: Even in the Mist of Struggles it's still a Good Friday


Highlights:


He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2:24


If you are a Christian today, you are in a territory of Salvation perfectly worked out through sacrifice. It was first carved out by God to in form of an art to disarm the devil of His power of human.


"And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross." Colossians 2:15


The devil was able to easily deceive the first Adam with his mastery in Trickery but not anymore if you are in Christ. 


 "Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” Genesis 3:1


But when the devil came to Jesus in Matthew 4:4, The devil wanted to trick him with bread because he was hungry, But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Matthew 4:4 KJV


Jesus defeated the devil with all His tactics Read Matthew 4:3-11


Jesus was the new Adam created to regenerate a new generation that cannot be defeated by the tricks of the devil. 


If you have been easily taken down by the devil's tricks, then you may still be under the rule of the defeated Adam. A new you could be born again by the second Adam which is Jesus and will never be defeated by the devil anymore.


If you surrender your life to Jesus Christ today allow His Spirit only to lead you by asking for His help. You will not be taken for a ride anymore. 


So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 1 Corinthians 15:45


Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!



Are you ready to give your life to Jesus Christ now? Pray this prayer


Prayer: Lord Jesus I accept you into my life and I accept your Holy Spirit into my Soul to rule and to guide me. Give me power to live in the new life that is acceptable to God. Help me to defeat the devil in this world and world to come. In your name Jesus I pray. Amen.

The Revelation of The mother of James and John


An Emoji Devotional for Fri, March 31 2023.


Topic: The Revelation of The mother of James and John


Highlights:


Then the mother of James and John took them to see Jesus. (Their father was Zebedee.) She went down on her knees in front of Jesus. She asked him to do something good for her. ‘What do you want me to do?’ Jesus asked her.


 She said, ‘One day, you will be king. Then I want my two sons to rule with you. One may sit at your right side and the other one at your left side. Please will you do this?’ Jesus said to them, ‘You do not understand what you are asking for. I will have much pain and trouble. Are you ready to have the same pain?’ James and John replied, ‘Yes, we can do that.’ Jesus said to them, ‘Yes, that is true. You will have pain and trouble like mine. 


But I cannot promise that you will sit at my right side or at my left side. My Father God has chosen the people who will sit there. He has prepared the places for those people.’

Matthew 20:20‭-‬23 EASY



So there is a revelation from this passage that signified that Our Father God has special places for some people in heaven. We do not know yet who those personalities will be. This is a VIP, VVIP and VVVIPs to sit on the right and left side of Our Lord Jesus. 


So this revelation was not denied by Christ as an error. It plainly shows that Christ reign on earth will truly happen, however it may not be an immediate event as mother of the apostles James and John was thinking. But her revelation was realest one. This was over two thousand years ago. 



The vision will still happen at the appointed time. It hurries toward its goal. It won’t be a lie. If it’s delayed, wait for it. It will certainly happen. It won’t be late.

Habakkuk 2:3 GW


If you are waiting for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and His eternal reign as King. Continue to hold on to your believe as it is true.



Prayer: Almighty God I believe that Jesus Christ the savior will return to this world again. When He comes, may I be counted worthy to be there among the saints. In Jesus name. Amen
