Ambassadors for Yeshua

L'Chaim Messianic Congregation, Lake Worth Florida, Palm Beaches

YESHUA says that there is one way people will know whether we belong to Him or not, and that is our love for one another. Love is the distinguishing sign of a MESSIAH FOLLOWER. It’s what sets us apart from the rest of the world. The world is looking for something to believe in, something real, something tangible! They are looking for love, and GOD is love (1 John 4:8). 

We, as believers in Yeshua, need to show our love, not by our faith-based jewelry that we might be wearing or the bumper stickers on our cars, but by walking in GOD’S love, demonstrating that love to others who are in need!

People are hungry for GOD, and GOD needs us to be His ambassadors, representing Him in every way, starting with His characteristic, which is love!

John 13:35
By this all will know that you are My disciples; if you have love for one another.

As we go out into the world, let’s be an ambassador for MESSIAH YESHUA and express His love to everyone we meet. Remember the world doesn’t care about what we know; the world wants to know that we care! Love says it all!

Day of Reckoning

L'Chaim Messianic Congregation, Lake Worth Florida, Palm Beaches

Every person without exception will one day stand before GOD and give an account of their life! I encourage you today not to live like there is no tomorrow; tomorrow always comes!

Yeshua will come for us (believers) when we least expect it, and then it will be too late to do all the things we intended to do but never got around to it. One of the spiritual laws we see throughout the Bible is that we always reap what we sow. 

Everything that is now done behind closed doors will one day be brought out in the open! We should be sure that we realize nothing is really eternally hidden!

Revelation 22:12
And behold, I am coming quickly and My reward is with Me, to give to everyone according to his work.

Our salvation is a free gift from GOD. It is given by His amazing grace through MESSIAH and is to be received by faith. We do not get into Heaven because of our good works, but as Revelation 22:12 teaches us. even so our works will be judged and rewarded according to what we have merited.

That “day of reckoning” will one day be upon us.

LET’S BE READY!

Religious Fluff

L'Chaim Messianic Congregation, Lake Worth Florida, Palm Beaches

 How important is the Word of GOD to you? 

If you don’t really care enough about the Word to abide in it, you are going to be in for trouble in these last days in which we live! 

“Religious Fluff” is not going to be enough to get us through; we have to be deeply serious about learning what the Bible has to say! 

When we know the Word, FATHER GOD will protect us and keep us from being taken into deception! Simply stated, deception happens when we believe a lie. And Satan lies to us continually; he is the father of lies! 

Without a thorough knowledge of GOD’S Word, we do not even recognize the lies! 

John 8:31–32
Then YESHUA said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My Word, you are my disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.

A deceived heart will not do for anyone who intends to be victorious in life!

We need to be diligent to root out any areas of our lives where we are susceptible to deception (satan’s  lies). We need to live openly and honestly abiding in the light of GOD’S truth as He reveals in His Word.

No Idols, Please

L'Chaim Messianic Congregation, Lake Worth Florida, Palm Beaches

We were created to love the LORD and be loved by Him. Anything that competes for our devotion simply doesn’t fit our life’s purpose! 

We need to keep in our spirit that the most important mission of our life here on this earth is to love our GOD with all our heart, soul, strength and mind!

Without complete devotion to Him, we would pursue our own interests and neglect godly principles and godly goals. 

No idol, whether it is an individual, dream or an item is not worthy of our worship! GOD hates idols of every kind because He knows anything that draws our attention away from Him is dangerous. It is a sure way to stumble in this life and end up ensnared in sin and lose our blessings!

Matthew 22:37
YESHUA said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind.”

We serve a holy and just GOD, whose deep love for mankind moved Him to send His only begotten Son, YESHUA, to die in our place! He deserves and demands our total loyalty and surrender!

God’s Master Plan

L'Chaim Messianic Congregation, Lake Worth Florida, Palm Beaches

We were all created by our LORD to be a unique creation! GOD did this on purpose. And just like He created the sun, moon and stars to be in their own glory, we were created differently for the glory of GOD! 

See, each of us meets a need for GOD’S overall plan. Each one of us fits into a part of that plan. What an awesome GOD we serve. And if we look at others, what they are doing and struggle to try to be and do what they are and do, we actually will grieve the Holy Spirit. (He dwells inside us after salvation.) 

GOD wants us to all do our part as we fit into His master plan, and because of that, we were all born uniquely! And our goal is to discover what we are supposed to do as an individual in this plan and then work at succeeding in it, using our own gifts and talents. 

1 Corinthians 15:41
There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

Let’s offer thanks to GOD today for the gifts He has put in us. Let’s use these gifts to bless others as it gives glory to Him, our ABBA FATHER!
