ANOINTED TO SERVE! Couldn't believe to see a number of youth receiving Jesus. Stand with us to celebrate their lives. Just imagine their Spritual rebirth? Moral, new relationships with Jesus and his body. Hallelujah In Luke 4:18, Jesus proclaims His divine mission, emphasizing that He is anointed to serve and bring salvation. This passage reflects the perspective that true anointing is for service—healing, liberating, and uplifting others. Jesus embodies the servant-leader model, where the anointing is not for self-glorification but for fulfilling God’s purpose. This teaches that believers are also called to serve, using their gifts to impact the world positively. The anointing empowers one to address the needs of others, reflecting God’s love and justice in tangible ways.

When it comes to traditions, it's not about whether one is right or wrong; what truly matters is our heart's posture. Are our traditions helping us honor and draw closer to God? The focus should be on how we use these traditions to deepen our relationship with Him and reflect our reverence and love.💙 What traditions are helpful for you in your walk with Jesus?

GRATITUDE IN ACTION: JESUS Jesus’ life reveals the transformative power of gratitude, a cornerstone of faith that transcends circumstances. In moments of scarcity, like feeding the 5,000 with just a few loaves and fish, Jesus gave thanks—not for what was lacking, but for God’s limitless power to provide. His gratitude unlocked abundance, showing us that thanksgiving is not just acknowledgment but an act of trust in God’s sovereignty. Even at the Last Supper, knowing the cross awaited, He paused to give thanks, reminding us that gratitude anchors us in God’s goodness, even in trials. By following Jesus’ example, we embrace gratitude as a way to deepen our connection with God, shift our perspective, and transform our lives. Let every prayer and action reflect thankfulness, trusting that God’s blessings abound even in the face of life’s uncertainties.

*Faith Love and Hope* Paul writes - Since we belong to the day, let’s be sober. We must put on the breastplate of faith and love, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. (1Th 5:8) To be a light to the world, we need to: 1)Have faith that God loves us and has our backs in every situation. 2) We need to love like the Father who gave His only begotten Son. 3) And have the hope that Jesus is coming back to take us home. Like a lantern needs oil, a wick and a glass globe to light a room, having faith, love and hope will result in an inner peace that would light a dark and dying world. 1 Cor 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Why is giving thanks to God important? Because our gratitude and thanksgiving offered in praise carries us into His Presence to worship God in the Holy Place - in His Presence. “I lift my head to see His face and then behold His Glory, for He is Holy - Our Holy Lord.” Certainly the Word of God teaches us that the humble offering of thanksgiving is always a blessed time for fellowship between God the Creator in Heaven and we the creation here on earth.

"Today, we are compelled to reflect on the profound truth that we are truly nothing without Jesus. His teachings, His love, and His sacrifice shape our lives in immeasurable ways. As we navigate the complexities of our world, it's crucial to recognize that we are charged with the responsibility to spread His love, compassion, and kindness. In a society often driven by self-interest and individualism, embracing the message of Jesus means embracing a life of service to others. His example of humility and love serves as a powerful reminder of our duty to care for those around us, to uplift the marginalized, and to advocate for justice and equality. As professionals, we have unique platforms and opportunities to make a difference in the lives of those we encounter. Whether it's through our work, our relationships, or our daily interactions, we have the ability to reflect the love of Jesus in tangible ways. Let's commit ourselves to being agents of change in our workplaces, communities, and beyond. Let's strive to embody the values of compassion, empathy, and integrity that Jesus exemplified. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and spread His love to every corner of our world. #NothingWithoutJesus #SpreadLove #Service #FaithInAction"

I read this text today in John 5. Jesus is speaking: “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; 40 and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life . . . 44 How can you believe, when you receive honor from one another and you do not seek the honor that is from the one and only God? (John 5:39-40, 44) I focused on verse 44: “How can you believe, when you receive honor from one another and you do not seek the honor that is from the one and only God?” And the application became clear: Whose kingdom do I want? Whose approval do I want? My answers will explain what I do and why I do it.
