THE PLAN OF JESUS IS ALWAYS THE BEST.

In 2014 I graduated from high school with a registration in a good university in France but to my surprise my father canceled my visa request in favor of a grant from the Congolese state to study medicine in Cuba in America.  Finally, this scholarship for Cuba fails and I find myself in one year having obtained my diploma, but having no university to do university studies. I then register at the University of Jinan in China and therefore total change  .I meet Jesus and I accept him as Lord and Savior, I am surrounded by incredible people, I am learning two new languages ​​and I have just obtained my license. All see choices that were not premeditated have become  for me true blessings and let me think that the answer of Jesus is always the best; does not the bible say that all things contribute to the good of those who love God and who are called by his purposes (Roman 8:  28) My prayer today is that you believe in the lord with all your heart and accept that his designs are the best.

KEEP THE RIGHT ATTITUDE

We continually give thanks to God for all of you, and mention you in our prayers.  We constantly remember, before God our Father, the work of your faith, the work of your love, and the firmness of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.  1 Thessalonians 1.2-3

Paul knows that believers in Thessaloniki are constantly under the microscope.  Let everyone around them observe them.  This is why he encourages them to manifest the reality of their faith through concrete actions.  To show by their behavior that the Gospel has truly transformed them.

Paul is thankful for “the work of their faith” and the “work of their love”.  He also reminds them that all of their actions must be inspired by love.  The words translated here by “work” and “work” suggest that we can get tired of our daily tasks or even of our profession.  This type of activity can take all our energy.  These occupations may seem futile to us, without anything spiritual.

God wants us to be faithful in everything we do.

We all know what “hard work” means.  We are aware that work can have an exhausting side.  We can experience difficulties and frustrations in our profession, our personal and family life.  But the Bible reminds us of why it is important to have the right attitude.  May God want us to be faithful in everything we do.  We should be motivated by love and an unwavering devotion to his kingdom.

Think about your attitude towards your work and the different situations you encounter.  Remember that it must show that Jesus has transformed your life.  Do not allow yourself to be distracted or confused, and do not embark on paths that may turn you away from the true faith.  Stay focused and faithful, persevering in all situations.

Today, don’t be discouraged or torn.  Let your light shine through your words and deeds.  And ask God to help you be faithful.

Become a source of encouragement

Just as a postman receives the mail early, you can also receive words of encouragement for those you will meet.  Isaiah had agreed to be the messenger of God.  This divine invitation is sent to us today … Will you answer it?  Will you make yourself available so that those around you are encouraged and comforted by the words the Lord has for them?  I am sure it is.
At dawn, God awakened the spiritual ear of Isaiah who testified: “The Lord God taught me what I must say, so that I know with words I will support the one who weakens. He teaches me how to listen again  , as the disciples should listen. “(Read Isaiah 50.4.)
Today I pray: “Thank you Holy Spirit for the source of living water that you are in me. I decide to let it flow around me in order to bless Your children. Make me Your spokesperson. May Your  love animates me, pushes me and transparent through my words. Holy Spirit, open my ears so that I receive the words of encouragement that Your children need to hear. In the name of Jesus, amen.

HOW TO HAVE A HEALTHY SELF IMAGE

Most of humans drama are mainly related to a bad self image which is essentially built in childhood.Scientists has proven that the human being character is built from 0 to 7 years old and after that much more effort is needed to rebuild that.The beginning of a bad self image is the fact that we live in a negative society and deal constantly with negative individuals the Bible tells us in 1 John 5:19 “We know that we are of God, and the whole world is under the sway of the evil one” and this influence can be seen from an overweight person sits down to the table and says “everything I eat turns fat” or someone who the abilities and intelligence have ridiculed or questioned repeatedly by parents,teachers,friends and others in authority and many others reasons can explain these reasons.All this worldly system has a big influence in our life and in the lives around us but the truth is that we have a wonderful way to eradicate theses problems.In the book of Genesis 1:26 it says “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness” that means we have been created like God and we shall function as he does.No matter what we have gone through in life this remain a sustainable truth and can’t be changed because the Bible tells us that God is not man he should lie (number 23:19).To apply all this truth in our life,we should get to a self discovery of who we are and that comes from the word of God.King David who was born in iniquity and has suffered from rejection of his dad and brothers by discovering who he was finally said of himself “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.” (Psalm 139:14).My prayer is that every eyes which has been closed by the enemy be opened for you to discover THE MAN (WOMAN) OF VALOR that you are.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BLOOD OF CHRIST

The scientists have proven that the human life is being made in place by a thing called « blood ».Why is the blood So much important and why is the blood so much important and is needed to be study ? Let’s see some of the role of blood listed by scientists :

Blood has a number of functions that are central to survival, including:

* supplying oxygen to cells and tissues

* providing essential nutrients to cells, such as amino acids, fatty acids, and glucose

* removing waste materials, such as carbon dioxide, urea, and lactic acid

* protecting the body from infection and foreign bodies through the white blood cells

* transporting hormones from one part of the body to another, transmitting messages, and completing important processes

* regulating acidity (pH) levels and body temperature

* engorging parts of the body when needed, for example, a penile erection as a response to sexual arousal

From this few list we can directly understand that our human life depends on the quality of blood that we have.When we receive a gunshot and we die it is actually the blood that has been touched and make us die,When we receive a poison and we die it is actually our blood which has been exposed to poison.For all these reason i can scientifically say that life is in the blood and the Bible also affirms that in Leviticus 17:11 “For the life of the flesh is in the blood”.From the fall of man in the book of Genesis (read genesis 3) we can see that all the mankind through Adam has fallen in sin and was in need of restoration and the blood was now in trouble because the Bible tells us in Hebrews 9:22 : “Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.” That makes me believe that the true problem of mankind was a blood problem and if so,to get a better life we need a better blood and what was he solution for mankind to have a better life ?

This plan has been orchestrated by the master piece of the Human race when he came on earth with an earthly suit called JESUS to transfer a new blood to Man.The question is why was JESUS blood particular ? Remember all human race through Adam sinned (that’s why you can’t teach a kid how to lie,it is in him because of Adam his ancestor) and only blood which could change the human race was a blood which did not come from the Human race (obviously if you Have AIDS and I have AIDS your blood is not important to me) and that’s why God has to give the lamb of the Lord which did not come from the Human race but from God which is pure and proper to solve all the sins and make us clean and white as snow by JESUS CHRIST.Be blessed !
