Heavenly Father, You are a miracle working God.

 What a powerful declaration of truth! 🙌  

**"You are a miracle-working God"** echoes through Scripture and history—a bedrock of hope for every believer. Here’s why this confession ignites faith:

---

### 🔥 **THE EVIDENCE IN SCRIPTURE**  

1. **Creation**  

   - *"He spoke—and it came to be"* (Psalm 33:9). Stars, oceans, life itself—all birthed by His word.  

2. **Deliverance**  

   - **Red Sea**: *"The waters were divided, and Israel passed through on dry ground"* (Exodus 14:21-22).  

   - **Fiery Furnace**: *"The fire had no power over them"* (Daniel 3:27).  

3. **Healing**  

   - Jesus healed lepers, opened blind eyes, raised the dead—proving *"with God all things are possible"* (Matthew 19:26).  

4. **Resurrection**  

   - The ultimate miracle: *"Death is swallowed up in victory!"* (1 Corinthians 15:54).

### 💫 **HOW HE WORKS MIRACLES TODAY**  

| **Area**         | **God’s Promise**                  | **Your Response**              |  

|------------------|-----------------------------------|--------------------------------|  

| **Impossible Situations** | *"I will make a way in the wilderness"* (Isaiah 43:19) | **Worship while you wait** (Acts 16:25) |  

| **Brokenness**   | *"He heals the brokenhearted"* (Psalm 147:3) | **Bring your wounds to Him** (Matthew 11:28) |  

| **Spiritual Death** | *"I will put My Spirit in you"* (Ezekiel 36:27) | **Receive His breath** (John 20:22) |  

| **Fear**         | *"Peace I leave with you"* (John 14:27) | **Stand still in His presence** (Exodus 14:13) |  

---

### 🌿 **WHY MIRACLES STILL FLOW**  

- **His Nature Never Changes**:  

  > *"I am the Lord; I do not change"* (Malachi 3:6).  

  The God of Elijah still answers by fire (1 Kings 18:38).  

- **Faith Unleashes His Power**:  

  > *"According to your faith let it be done"* (Matthew 9:29).  

- **They Point to Jesus**:  

  Miracles aren’t magic—they *"testify of Me"* (John 5:36).  

---

### ⚠️ **GOD’S MIRACLES vs. HUMAN EXPECTATIONS**  

- **Timing**: He acts *"in the fullness of time"* (Galatians 4:4)—not our schedule.  

- **Method**: He splits seas with a staff (Exodus 14:16) and conquers death through a cross (1 Corinthians 1:27).  

- **Purpose**: Miracles always reveal His glory and draw hearts to Him (John 11:4, 45).  

---

> *"Miracle-Working God,  

> I stand in awe of You—Creator, Redeemer, Way-Maker!  

> Where I see walls, You see rivers.  

> Where I see graves, You see resurrection.

**Hold fast to this truth**:

🌊 *Your Red Sea moment is coming—stand firm and see His salvation.*  

💫 **He is still the God who does *"exceedingly abundantly above all you ask or imagine"* (Ephesians 3:20).**  

**Worship Him—and watch walls fall.**

God will make a way, when there is no way.

 What a powerful declaration of faith! 💫  

**"God will make a way"** is more than a phrase—it’s a **rock-solid promise** rooted in Scripture. When all seems impossible, He parts seas, opens prisons, and resurrects dead dreams. Here’s the biblical foundation for your confidence:

---

### 🔥 **GOD'S PROMISE IN SCRIPTURE**  

> **"I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."**  

> **—Isaiah 43:19**  

- When Israel felt trapped, God declared He would do the *unthinkable*.

> **"With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."**  

> **—Matthew 19:26**  

- Human limits mean nothing to Him. Stand still and see His salvation (Exodus 14:13).

---

### ✨ **HOW GOD MAKES A WAY**  

1. **Through IMPOSSIBLE SITUATIONS**  

   - **Red Sea moment**: When Pharaoh’s army closed in, God split the sea (Exodus 14:21-22).  

   - **For you**: That debt, diagnosis, or broken relationship? **He specializes in hopeless cases.**

2. **Through UNEXPECTED PROVIDENCE**  

   - **Ruth**: A destitute widow became ancestor of Christ (Ruth 1-4).  

   - **For you**: He uses "coincidences," strangers, and closed doors to redirect you (Proverbs 16:9).

3. **Through SUFFERING**  

   - **Joseph**: Betrayal → prison → palace (Genesis 50:20).  

   - **For you**: Your pain has purpose. Trust His pruning (John 15:2).

4. **Through THE CROSS**  

   - **Ultimate "Way-Making"**: Jesus said, *"I am the Way"* (John 14:6).  

   - **For you**: His blood opened a *new and living way* to God (Hebrews 10:20).

### ⚠️ **WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU CAN’T SEE THE WAY**  

| **Action**       | **Scripture**                  |  

|------------------|--------------------------------|  

| **Worship in Advance** | *"I will praise the Lord... I will rejoice in God my Savior"* (Habakkuk 3:18). |

| **Obey His Last Word** | *"Walk as far as you can"* (2 Kings 4:1-7—the widow’s oil). |  

| **Declare His Faithfulness** | *"Call to Me—I will answer you"* (Jeremiah 33:3). |  

---

### 🌿 **GOD'S WAY > YOUR WAY**  

- His path may look **unconventional** (feeding Elijah by ravens—1 Kings 17:6).  

- His timing may feel **delayed** (Lazarus’ resurrection—John 11:1-44).  

- His purpose is **always redemption** (Romans 8:28).

---

### 💫 **A PRAYER FOR YOUR JOURNEY**

> I believe You *will* make a way.

---

**Hold this truth close**:  

🔥 *The same God who split the sea is working for you.*  

🌿 *Your wilderness is where faith becomes sight.*  

💫 **He hasn’t brought you this far to abandon you now.**  

Stand firm—your breakthrough is coming! 🙌

Lord, Give me a clean heart.

 Here’s a prayer-poem for a **new heart**, anchored in God’s promise to transform us from the inside out—woven with Scripture’s hope:

---

### **"A HEART LIKE YOURS"**  

*A Cry for Divine Surgery*  

**God—**  

**Give me a good heart!**  

Not this stone-heavy, fractured thing,  

Cold to mercy, weak to sing  

*Your praises…*  

**Cut away the scar-tissue of sin,**  

**Transplant Your tenderness within!**  

>*“Create in me a pure heart, O God,  

>and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”*  

>**—Psalm 51:10**  

**Rip out the rot—**  

The pride, the spite,  

The hidden grudges festering night.  

*Flush my veins with Calvary’s flood:*  

**Till love pumps where apathy stood!**  

>*“I will remove from you your heart of stone  

>and give you a heart of flesh.”*  

>**—Ezekiel 36:26**  

**Tune this heart—**  

To beat like Yours:  

**Broken for the lost, fierce for the poor,**  

*Soft to the prodigal, wild to forgive…*  

**A heart where Your resurrection lives!**  

>*“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus…”*  

>**—Philippians 2:5**  

**Guard its rhythm—**  

When fear storms loud,  

When sorrow’s tempest spins me ’round.  

*Fix my pulse on this true chord:*  

**“JESUS IS LORD!”—my heart’s deep roar.**  

>*“Above all else, guard your heart,  

>for everything you do flows from it.”*  

>**—Proverbs 4:23**  

**Make it fertile—**  

For truth to root,  

For faith to flower, for grace to shoot.  

*Where thorns once choked, let worship rise—*  

**A harvest-ground for paradise!**  

>*“The seed falling on good soil refers to those with a noble and good heart,  

>who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.”*  

>**—Luke 8:15**  

**Till one day—**  

Face-to-face, no veil,  

This heart perfected, beyond all fail!  

*No shadow left, no stain, no art—*  

**Just Your own heart, inside my heart.**  

>*“We shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”*  

>**—1 John 3:2**

| **Your Need**          | **His Covenant Action**         | **Scripture**          |

The Surgeon who carved mountains with His fingers now sculpts eternity into your heartbeat. 💖

Lord Jesus, You are the true vine.

 The profound intimacy and urgency of **John 15**—where Jesus reveals Himself as the **True Vine**—calls every believer to *abide, obey, and bear eternal fruit*. Here’s a focused exploration:

---

### 🌿 **The Core Command: ABIDE** (John 15:4-5)  

> *"Remain in Me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me... Apart from Me you can do nothing."*  

**What Abiding Means**:  

- **Daily Dependence**: Like a branch drawing life from the vine—not occasional effort, but constant connection (prayer, Word, surrender).  

- **Fruit is Natural Outcome**: Fruitfulness flows *from* union with Christ, not human striving.  

- **Warning Against Self-Reliance**: Spiritual barrenness comes when we detach from Him.  

---

### ✂️ **The Father’s Work: PRUNING** (John 15:2)  

> *"Every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful."*  

**Why Pruning Hurts but Heals**:  

- God cuts away what *hinders* growth:  

  - Sinful habits  

  - Distracting ambitions  

  - Even "good" things that displace *best* (His presence).  

- **Purpose**: Deeper roots, greater yield (Hebrews 12:11).  

---

### ❤️ **The Mark of Discipleship: LOVE & OBEDIENCE** (John 15:9-14)  

> *"As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Now remain in My love... My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you."*  

**Radical Connection**:  

| Love Received | Love Given |  

|---------------|------------|  

| From Father → Jesus | From Jesus → You |  

| From Jesus → You | From You → Others |  

**Obedience = Abiding**:  

- *"If you keep My commands, you will remain in My love"* (v.10).  

- Not legalism—but trust expressed through action (John 14:15).  

---

### 🍇 **The Fruit: GLORIFYING GOD** (John 15:8)  

> *"This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples."*  

**What Fruit Looks Like**:  

- **Character**: Love, joy, peace (Galatians 5:22-23)  

- **Converts**: Leading others to Christ (Romans 1:13)  

- **Consecration**: Holiness that mirrors Jesus (John 15:16)  

---

### ⚠️ **The World’s Hatred: EXPECT PERSECUTION** (John 15:18-21)  

> *"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first... No servant is greater than his master."*  

**Why?**  

- You expose darkness (John 3:19-20).  

- You belong to Christ (John 15:19).  

---

### ✨ **The Promise: THE SPIRIT’S WITNESS** (John 15:26-27)  

> *"When the Advocate comes, whom I will send... the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—He will testify about Me. And you also must testify."*  

**You Are Never Alone**:  

- The Holy Spirit empowers your abiding.  

- He speaks through you under pressure (Matthew 10:19-20).  

---

### **A Prayer to Abide**:  

> *Lord Jesus—True Vine—  

> Attach my soul to You.  

> Cut away all that drains life from our union.  

> Flood me with Your love until it overflows to others.  

> Make my life fruitful for the Father’s glory.  

> When the world rejects me, hold me fast.  

> Spirit, testify through me.  

> I abide in You today. Amen.*  

---

**Fix your eyes on the Vinedresser**. He tends you with perfect love.  

Your calling is not to *produce*, but to *remain*.  

*"In Him we live and move and have our being"* (Acts 17:28).

Lord, I offer my life to you.

 What a sacred and eternal moment—this offering of your life to the Lord echoes heaven’s joy! ✨ Scripture affirms that **He receives you fully** when you surrender to Him. Here’s His response to your prayer:

---

### 🕊️ **God’s Promise Over Your Surrender**  

> *“My child, I see your heart. Before you called, I answered (Isaiah 65:24). Your life is now hidden with Christ in Me (Colossians 3:3). I will guide you, restore you, and use you for My glory.”*  

---

### 🔥 **What Your Offering Means**  

1. **You Acknowledge His Lordship**  

   - *“No one can serve two masters”* (Matthew 6:24).  

   - **You choose**: His will > your plans.  

2. **You Enter Divine Partnership**  

   - *“We are co-workers with God”* (1 Corinthians 3:9).  

   - He shapes your purpose (Jeremiah 29:11).  

3. **You Activate Spiritual Authority**

- **Isolation**: Stay rooted in His Body—the Church (Hebrews 10:25).

3. **Shattered Death’s Grip**  

   - **"Death has been swallowed up in victory!"** (1 Corinthians 15:54).

Gospel's breath.

 Here is an original poem weaving the Gospel of Jesus with Scripture, crafted as a prayer to God:  

---

### **"Gospel Breath"**  

*A Poem to God*  

You spoke the world to life—  

Yet spoke again in human cries  

When *"the Word became flesh"* (John 1:14)  

And heaven’s light met earth’s deep sighs.  

You wore our dust, our ache, our night,  

Bore every wound our sin deserved.  

*"He was pierced for our rebellion"* (Isaiah 53:5)  

While we, the lost, were undeserved.  

Then silence—cold and stark—a tomb…  

But oh! The stone rolled wide and bright!  

*"Death could not hold Him"* (Acts 2:24)  

Your resurrection *is* our light!  

Now mercy flows where judgment reigned:  

*"While we were sinners, Christ still died"* (Romans 5:8).  

Your grace, a flood no sin contains—  

The cross *our* pardon, *Your* reply.  

So let this truth remake my soul:  

*"In Christ, I am made new"* (2 Corinthians 5:17)!  

Your Gospel’s fire has made me whole—  

A rebel claimed, a child set free.  

One day, all knees will bow and see  

The scars that wrote eternity.  

*"Every tongue confess You Lord"* (Philippians 2:11)—  

Till then, my heart cries: *"Come restore!"*  

---

---

### ✨ **Why This Gospel?**  

This is the *"power of God for salvation"* (Romans 1:16)—  

Not rules to follow, but a **Rescuer to embrace**.  

Not a philosophy, but a **Person who conquered death**.  

Not a religion, but a **relationship that remakes us**.  

> *"Taste and see that the Lord is good;  

> Blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him."*  

> **—Psalm 34:8**

He is near. 🕊️

Gospel of Jesus

 The **Gospel of Jesus Christ** (Greek: *euangelion*—"good news") is the foundational message of Christianity, centered on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus as God’s plan to redeem humanity. Here’s a concise yet comprehensive overview:

---

### 🔥 **The Core Message**  

> **"Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures"** (1 Corinthians 15:3–4).

#### **1. The Problem: Sin and Separation**  

   - All humanity is sinful (Romans 3:23) and separated from a holy God (Isaiah 59:2).  

   - Sin’s penalty is eternal death (Romans 6:23).  

#### **2. The Solution: Jesus Christ**  

   - **Incarnation**: God became man (John 1:14). Jesus lived sinlessly (Hebrews 4:15).  

   - **Atonement**: His sacrificial death paid sin’s penalty (Romans 5:8; 1 Peter 3:18).  

   - **Resurrection**: He conquered death, proving His divinity and victory (1 Corinthians 15:20–22).  

#### **3. The Invitation: Faith and Repentance**  

   - **Repent**: Turn from sin (Acts 3:19).  

   - **Believe**: Trust in Christ alone for salvation (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8–9).  

   - **Receive**: Confess Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:9).  

#### **4. The Promise: Eternal Life**  

   - Forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:14).  

   - Reconciliation with God (2 Corinthians 5:18–19).  

   - New life now and eternity with Him (John 17:3; Revelation 21:3–4).  

---

### ✨ **Key Themes of the Gospel**  

| **Theme**       | **Scripture**                  | **Meaning**                                  |  

|------------------|--------------------------------|----------------------------------------------|  

| **Grace**        | Ephesians 2:8–9               | Salvation is a *free gift*, not earned.      |  

| **Redemption**   | Colossians 1:13–14            | Jesus "bought us back" from sin’s slavery.   |  

| **Justification**| Romans 5:1                    | Declared righteous before God by faith.      |  

| **New Creation** | 2 Corinthians 5:17            | Believers are transformed by the Holy Spirit.|  

| **Kingdom of God**| Mark 1:15                     | God’s reign begins in hearts now, culminates at Christ’s return. |  

---

### 🌍 **Why This Is "Good News"**  

- **Hope for the broken**: Jesus offers freedom from guilt, shame, and despair (Matthew 11:28).  

- **Power for transformation**: The Holy Spirit empowers believers to live like Christ (Galatians 5:22–23).  

- **Victory over death**: Physical death is not the end (1 Corinthians 15:54–57).  

- **Universal offer**: Salvation is for *all* who believe (Revelation 22:17).  

---

### ⚠️ **A Warning and Invitation**  

- **Judgment awaits** those who reject Christ (John 3:36; Hebrews 9:27).  

- **Today is the day** to respond (2 Corinthians 6:2).  

> **"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."**  

> —Jesus (John 14:6)

---

### 🕊️ **Your Response**  

1. **Acknowledge** your sin and need for a Savior.  

2. **Believe** Jesus died for you and rose again.  

3. **Commit** to follow Him as Lord.  

The Gospel isn’t just a message to believe—**it’s a Person to embrace**.  

*Will you trust Him today?*

Jesus, the name above all name.

 The declaration **"Every knee will bow, every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord"** is a profound biblical truth rooted in **Philippians 2:10-11** (echoing Isaiah 45:23). Here’s a breakdown of its meaning, context, and implications:

---

### 📜 **Biblical Source**  

> **"At the name of Jesus every knee should bow,  

> in heaven and on earth and under the earth,  

> and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,  

> to the glory of God the Father."**  

> **(Philippians 2:10–11)**

---

### 🔍 **Key Truths Explained**  

1. **Universal Sovereignty of Christ**  

   - **All creation**—angels, humans, demons, rulers, and the dead—will acknowledge Jesus as Lord.  

   - This fulfills God’s purpose: **"That in everything He might have the supremacy"** (Colossians 1:18).

2. **Two Types of Bowing**  

   - **Voluntary Worship**: By believers who joyfully submit to His lordship (John 20:28; Romans 10:9).  

   - **Forced Submission**: By rebels, enemies, and the spiritually hostile (Psalm 110:1; Revelation 20:11–15).  

   — *No one is exempt*.

3. **The Divine Name Above All Names**  

   - Paul emphasizes Jesus’ **exaltation after His humiliation** (Philippians 2:5–9).  

   - The Father crowned Him **Lord** (Greek: *Kyrios*)—a title reserved for God Himself (Isaiah 42:8; Romans 14:11).

---

### ⚖️ **Theological Implications**  

- **Judgment and Mercy**:  

  - For believers, this truth brings assurance (Romans 8:1).  

  - For unbelievers, it warns of unavoidable accountability (Revelation 20:12–13).  

- **God’s Ultimate Victory**:  

  - Evil, sin, and rebellion will be definitively silenced (1 Corinthians 15:24–28).  

- **Unity in Worship**:  

  - Heaven, earth, and hell—all realms—will declare Christ’s lordship together (Revelation 5:13).

---

### 💡 **Practical Applications for Believers**  

1. **Live in Present Submission**:  

   - Bow your heart *now*—not just in the future (Romans 12:1).  

2. **Proclaim Christ Boldly**:  

   - The world must hear of the One whom all will confess (Matthew 28:19–20).  

3. **Comfort in Suffering**:  

   - Injustice is temporary; Christ’s reign is eternal (Revelation 21:4–5).  

4. **Reject Idolatry**:  

   - No power, ruler, or ideology rivals His authority (Colossians 2:15).

---

### ✝️ **The Final Revelation**  

This prophecy will culminate at **Christ’s Second Coming**, when:  

- Believers will worship in fullness (Revelation 7:9–10).  

- Unbelievers will bow in terror (Revelation 6:15–17).  

- **"The knowledge of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea"** (Isaiah 11:9).

---

**The question for every person today is not *if* they will bow—but *when* and *how*.**  

Will you bow in loving surrender now? Or in fearful regret later?  

The gospel invites you to embrace His lordship **today** (2 Corinthians 6:2).

If God is for us, who can be against us.

 Here’s a **scripture-rich poetic declaration** of Romans 8:31—a battle cry for every believer facing opposition, woven with God’s unshakable promises:

---

### **"IF GOD IS FOR US"**  

*A Triumph Hymn Anchored in Romans 8*  

**If GOD is for us—**  

Let hell roar vain,  

Let demons scheme, let storms complain!  

*No threat can stand, no weapon last,*  

**When YHWH’s oath seals fast our past!**  

>*“What, then, shall we say in response to these things?*  

>*If God is for us, who can be against us?”*  

>**—Romans 8:31**  

**He who did not spare—**  

His own dear Son,  

But gave Him up—oh, battle won!  

*Will He not also, with that same grace,*  

**Give us all things to run our race?**  

>*“He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all—*  

>*how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?”*  

>**—Romans 8:32**  

**Who dares accuse—**  

The chosen ones?  

God Himself declares us *“Righteous!”*  

*Christ intercedes—our robes are white,*  

**Bought by His blood, bathed in His light!**  

>*“Who will bring any charge against God’s elect?*  

>*It is God who justifies!”*  

>**—Romans 8:33**  

**Who condemns?—**  

Not Judge, not foe,  

For Christ was crushed for sins we owe!  

*Now risen, reigning—He pleads our case,*  

**Death itself bows to His embrace!**  

>*“Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised—*  

>*is at the right hand of God interceding for us!”*  

>**—Romans 8:34**  

**Not sword nor famine—**  

No depth, no height,  

No angel, demon, day nor night—  

**Can rip us from our Father’s hand,**  

*For we are sealed by Love’s own brand!*  

>*“Neither death nor life... nor anything in all creation*  

>*will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord!”*  

>**—Romans 8:38–39**

I am the hundred lamb

 Here’s a poetic response to your cry for salvation, inspired by Jesus’ parable of **the lost sheep** (Luke 15:3-7) and His relentless love for *every single soul*:

---

### **"THE HUNDREDTH LAMB"**  

*A Hymn for the One Jesus Left the Ninety-Nine to Find*

**I was the one—**  

The stray, the bleating voice,  

Wandering far from the Shepherd’s choice.  

*Over cliffs of shame, through thorns of regret,*  

*Till I stumbled, tangled, soaked in sweat.*  

>*“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one…*  

>*Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine to find the lost?”*  

>**—Luke 15:4**  

**No strength to stand—**  

No will to rise,  

Just a broken cry beneath stormy skies.  

*Then—oh!—the sound of tearing briars,*  

**Your voice like dawn, Your eyes like fire!**  

>*“He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.”*  

>**—John 10:3**  

**You waded deep—**  

Through rivers wild,  

Scars gleaming bright, love undefiled.  

*No lecture, no whip—just arms flung wide,*  

**You bore me home on Your wounded side!**  

>*“He lays the sheep on His shoulders, rejoicing!”*  

>**—Luke 15:5**  

**Now heaven sings—**  

The angels lean,  

To hear the song of the *one* now clean.  

*The ninety-nine? They understand:*  

**Their Shepherd’s heart burns for the stranded lamb!**  

>*“There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents…*  

>*than over ninety-nine who need no repentance.”*  

>**—Luke 15:7**  

**So here I rest—**  

Upon Your chest,  

Your heartbeat my anthem, Your love my rest.  

*Let all creation rise and say:*  

**“THE SHEPHERD SAVED THE LAMB THAT DAY!”**  

>*“I am the Good Shepherd…*  

>*I lay down My life for the sheep.”*  

>**—John 10:11**

Thank you for saving me, the prodigal son.

 Here’s a poetic response celebrating your homecoming as a redeemed prodigal—a tapestry of Scripture and grace:

---

### **"THE PRODIGAL'S FATHER"**  

*A Hymn for the Once-Lost, Now-Found*

**"Give me my share"—**  

I spat the words,  

Clutched my gold like caging birds.  

*Ran to far-off, filthy lands,*  

*Spent Your love on lust’s demands.*  

>*“The younger son gathered all he had and journeyed into a distant country...”*  

>**—Luke 15:13**  

**Then famine came—**  

Pigs my peers,  

Shoveling husks, choking tears.  

*“My father’s servants eat with grace—*  

*While I starve in this disgrace!”*  

>*“No one gave him anything... He longed to fill his stomach with pods.”*  

>**—Luke 15:16–17**  

**But You stood watching—**  

Day by day,  

Scanning roads where I’d strayed.  

*Then—oh!—You saw my stumbling frame,*  

**Ran with robes and love aflame!**  

>*“While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion.*  

>*He ran, threw his arms around him, and kissed him.”*  

>**—Luke 15:20**  

**No “slave”—but “SON!”**  

You roared it loud,  

Dressed my filth in mercy’s shroud.  

*Ring my finger, sandals tied—*  

**Killed the fatted calf with pride!**  

>*“Bring the best robe... put a ring on his finger... Let’s feast and celebrate!”*  

>**—Luke 15:22–23**  

**Now I kneel—**  

No plea, no right,  

Just weeping at Your scars so bright.  

*You whisper through the music’s swell:*  

**“Welcome home, My child. All’s well.”**  

>*“This son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!”*  

>**—Luke 15:24**

### **"THE WRETCH SAVED"**  

*A Hymn for the Undeserving*  

**"Wretch" I was—**  

Lost, undone,  

Chained to sin, by lusts outrun.  

*No plea to make, no worth to claim—*  

**Just bloodstained hands, a whispered name.**  

>*“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—*  

>*of whom I am the worst.”*  

>**—1 Timothy 1:15**  

**But Mercy knelt—**  

In filth and mire,  

Lifted me from sin’s foul pyre.  

*Not with scorn, but nail-scarred grace:*  

**“Child, I’ve bought you—take your place!”**  

>*“God demonstrates His own love for us in this:*  

>*While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”*  

>**—Romans 5:8**  

**No more “wretch”—**  

Now robe of white,  

Clothed in Christ, my shame made light!  

*Not I who live, but He in me—*  

**A trophy of His victory!**  

>*“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.*  

>*The old has gone, the new has come!”*  

>**—2 Corinthians 5:17**  

**So let me sing—**  

With every breath,  

Of grace that robbed my second death.  

*Till heaven’s chorus shouts the theme:*  

**“AMAZING LOVE—IT SAVED THE WRETCHED ONES!”**  

>*“To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood…*  

>*to Him be glory and power forever! Amen.”*  

>**—Revelation 1:5–6**

We are ambassador in the Kingdom of God.

 The **Kingdom of God** is the heartbeat of Scripture—a reality both *now* and *not yet*, where God’s reign transforms hearts, history, and creation. Here’s a biblical exploration of its meaning, promises, and how to live as its citizen:

---

### 🔑 **Core Truths About the Kingdom of God**  

1. **It’s God’s Sovereign Rule**  

   - Not a physical territory, but **God’s authority** over all creation (Psalm 103:19).  

   - Jesus launched it: *"The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand"* (Mark 1:15).  

2. **Present Yet Future**  

   - **NOW**: Within believers (Luke 17:21), advancing through justice, healing, and the Spirit’s power (Romans 14:17).  

   - **NOT YET**: Fully realized when Christ returns—ending evil, restoring creation (Revelation 21:3-5).  

3. **Entered by Repentance & Faith**  

   - *"Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God"* (John 3:3).  

   - Received like a child: humble, trusting (Mark 10:15).

Where the poor are lifted,  

The broken find healing,  

And mercy flows like a river.  

Make me a signpost of Your coming Kingdom—  

One healed wound,  

One shared meal,  

One bold declaration of Christ’s victory at a time.  

Until the day Your glory fills the earth,  

And every knee bows to the King.  

Amen.*

Jesus's Birth, Light and Forgiveness.

 ### 📖 Comprehensive Analysis of **1 John 1**: Incarnation, Light, and Forgiveness  

*Key Themes: The reality of Christ's humanity, walking in God's light, and the promise of confession-based cleansing.*

---

#### ✝️ **I. The Incarnate Word: Tangible Revelation (1:1–4)**   

- **Eternal Origin**:  

  > *"That which was from the beginning... concerning the Word of life"* (v.1).  

  Jesus is identified as the eternal "Word of Life" (Λόγος τῆς ζωῆς), present before creation (John 1:1), yet physically manifested in history .  

- **Apostolic Witness**:  

  John emphasizes sensory proof:  

  - **Heard** (Jesus' teachings),  

  - **Seen** (miracles, Transfiguration, Resurrection),  

  - **Touched** (post-resurrection encounters, Luke 24:39).  

  This counters early Gnostic claims denying Christ’s physical humanity .  

- **Purpose**:  

  Fellowship (κοινωνία) with God and believers, culminating in "complete joy" (v.4). *True unity flows from shared relationship with Christ* .  

---

#### 💡 **II. God is Light: Walking in Truth (1:5–7)**   

- **Divine Nature**:  

  > *"God is light; in him is no darkness at all"* (v.5).  

  Light symbolizes holiness, truth, and purity—contrasting spiritual deception .  

- **Two Paths**:  

  | **Claim**                          | **Reality**                         | **Result**                          |  

  |-------------------------------------|-------------------------------------|-------------------------------------|  

  | "Fellowship with God" while walking in darkness (v.6) | Lying, ignoring truth | Broken fellowship |  

  | Walking in the light (v.7) | Honesty, community | Cleansing by Jesus' blood |  

- **Cleansing Mechanism**:  

  Continuous purification through Christ’s sacrifice—not human effort—enables authentic fellowship .  

---

#### 🕊️ **III. Sin, Confession, and Restoration (1:8–10)**   

- **Human Condition**:  

  - **Self-Deception** (v.8): Claiming sinlessness denies inherent fallenness.  

  - **Defaming God** (v.10): Saying "we have not sinned" calls God a liar (since Scripture affirms universal sin, Romans 3:23) .  

- **Divine Remedy**:  

  > *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive... and cleanse us"* (v.9).  

  - **Faithful**: God’s covenant loyalty.  

  - **Just**: Christ’s atonement satisfies justice.  

  Result: Full forgiveness (sins) and purification (unrighteousness) .  

---

### 🔑 **Key Theological Implications**  

1. **Incarnation Matters**:  

   Christianity rests on historical reality—God entered human space/time to redeem .  

2. **Holiness ≠ Perfectionism**:  

   Walking in light involves ongoing confession, not flawlessness .  

3. **Communal Faith**:  

   Fellowship with God is inseparable from fellowship with believers .  

---

### ⚠️ **Countering Heresies (1st Century Context)**   

- **Gnosticism**: Denied Jesus’ physical body. John refutes: *"Our hands touched Him!"* (v.1).  

- **Moral Relativism**: Some claimed "enlightenment" excused sin. John insists: *Sin breaks fellowship* (v.6).  

---

### 💎 **Conclusion: Pillars of Authentic Faith**  

1. **Affirm Christ’s tangible incarnation**.  

2. **Walk transparently in God’s light**.  

3. **Confess sin to receive cleansing**.  

> *"The blood of Jesus purifies—not hides—our brokenness, transforming guilt into grace."* 

Lord Jesus bring sorrow to Joy.

**To seize the Father’s full delight!**

>*Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”*  

>**—John 16:24**  

#### **V. PEACE IN THE FIRE**  

**"In this world—tribulation!"**  

Waves may rage, the battle roar...  

**"But TAKE HEART!"**—My declaration:  

**I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD!**  

>*“I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace.*  

>*In this world you will have trouble.*

One flock, one Shepherd—evermore!
