WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL DAY

ALL THE UCKG-JAMAICA ASSISTANTS ARE INVITED TO BE THERE.
LET US MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF THE JAMAICAN WOMEN

I am the light of the world

“Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8:12

Oppression, anxiety, loneliness, chronic diseases, insomnia, seeing visions, hearing voices, addictions, suicide thoughts… if you have difficulty in identifying the symptoms that has taken over your ways, these might be some of them.

Many have stumbled on their decisions, thinking that something will go well, and all of a sudden, they are caught by surprise; finding themselves surrounded by negativity and unable to finish what they have started.

Does it sound familiar to you? Your life does not have to be that way!

Peace, freedom, serenity, peaceful sleep, health, desire to live, the ability to solve problems, inner balance… this is what happens in your life when you live under the protection and guidance of God’s light.

THE HOLY GARMENT

 

 One of the words that caught my attention among many that inspired us on the last Night Vigil of the Assistants, was something that I have not seen in many assistants, and you should all be more attentive to: I am talking about your uniform.

Many assistants treat their uniform recklessly. Starting with the male assistants, whose white of their shirts is grimy and that their trousers are old and faded, shoes are poorly polished or not polished at all, their belts have damaged holes, dull buckle. In short, we are men of God and this condition requires neatness and zeal for everything related to us, including our appearance. I remember when I was an assistant, I was working but did not have a good salary. And I had to spend a lot with my wedding, but if there was one thing that I would always care for, that was my uniform, because it represented my spiritual garments. The scriptures show God's concern for the priests’ garments:

REPENTANCE ...... WHAT'S REPENTANCE ?

 

"The Bible tells us that it's the change of mind.
The true Christian needs, first of all, to go through repentance, or rather, it's necessary to have his mind totally changed, in order to receive the Holy Spirit and truly become a new creature.

To repent does not mean to be sad or to regret the act practiced before.
To repent doesn't mean only to firm in your heart the desire of not practicing such acts anymore, because you did not like to practice them, you suffered because of them or something like that.

To repent is much more than that; it means to change your mind completely regarding what you practiced.

THE PURPOSE OF THE DEVIL

 

"Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time." (Revelation 12:12)

The devil knows that his days are counted. He knows that there is a place of eternal punishment, prepared for him and his followers.
while his end does not come, satan uses all his forces to destroy the human beings, who are God's masterpiece.

He does that because he is envious, as he was banned and lost the condition of angel of light when he tried to steal the throne of God.

THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD JESUS

 

"Behold I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book." (Revelation 22:7)

When the subject is the destiny of the planet earth, the people react in different ways. There are those who don't believe that the world will end, affirming that it happens only for those who die.

There are those who agree with the scientific arguments that everything will automatically end as soon as the sun completes its vital cycle and gets extinguished, as it happens with the stars, but they argue that its a preoccupation for other generations, reserved only for our descendants.

However, the verse below, warn us not to be negligent with such important promise:

"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the Ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. It was the same in the days of Lot.

People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulphur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. On that day no one who is on the roof of the house, with his goods inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything."
(Luke 17:26-31)

You cannot be confused with other facts of the history of the church many people believe that the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ was the descending of the Holy Spirit, on the day of Pentecost.

The parousy ,however, will be accompanied by two important events: the resurrection of the dead and the snatch of the church, what immediately discards the possibility of such people being right.

Read: 1 Corinthians 15:52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17

God bless you.

DID YOU REALLY GET CONVERTED ?

 

What is conversion? Is the change of direction, character and personality. You need to do your part in order to change that is, to believe in the word, accept it and make an effort to put it into practice in your life.

However, only that is not enough, because it's the word of God itself that purifies us from everything that does not please God. The Holy Spirit is the One who acts so that your life may be transformed.

Did you feel that something changed inside of you after your conversion? I am not talking about receiving a healing, the deliverance from demons or getting the solution of a problem, because all these we achieve by faith, but I ask about the internal change, in your heart.

if you before coming to the church were aggressive, rebel, used to keep grudges in your heart and still feel the same not being able of forgive those who offend you, so it's because nothing happened. If it's your case, you need to make an urgent evaluation in your life, because your salvation is at satke.

Surrender your life completely into the hands of the Lord Jesus, open the doors of your heart, let His words wash you and don't be mere listener but a participant. Try not to do your will, but always the will of God in your life.

When it happens, when you repent of your sins and live according to what the scriptures say, rivers of living waters will flow from you, or rather, the Holy Spirit will flow and you will be a new creature; the direction of your life will be totally changed.
