DO NOT WORRY ABOUT YOUR LIFE


To worry is destructive, counter
productive and can lead to disaster. Worrying does not solve anything
That is why Jesus commanded us not to worry about our life. The
unbelievers, including unbelieving Christians, are destroyed through
worrying.
The storms of life will come against
all of us, but if we do not act on the words of Jesus, we will be
like a man who built his house on the sand, the storm will come
against that house and destroy it because it has no firm foundation.
We can make our best plans, and do all we know to prevent disaster,
hardship and loss, but only Jesus can save, deliver and heal us.
We have to put our trust in Jesus, and
therefor we must OBEY Him, to experience His protection, deliverance
and provision. The moment that you start worrying, satan has disarmed
you and you are at his mercy to steal from you, rob you and destroy
you.
When people get a pain, they often run
straight to the doctor, which will cost them money. The doctor might
send them for tests and scans, which cost even more money. They
trust the doctor for a diagnoses, which is often wrong, which leads
to further actions, treatments, surgeries. Do not trust them to go
for the cheapest remedy. As long as you can pay, or generate funds to
pay, they will do anything to treat you, often unnecessary. If you
die in the process, they will not lose, they will get their money
from your estate and your loved ones who are left behind, will be
impoverished. Certainly, there are good doctors, but most people are
selfish and only care for themselves. In any business a customer who
can pay is a potential to make money. Doctors and hospitals have
bills to pay. They will gladly take your money. Your sickness will be
paying for it. If you put your trust in man, you will be destroyed.
It is written:” This is what the LORD says:
“Cursed is the man who trusts in
mankind,
who makes the flesh his strength
and turns his heart from the LORD.
6He
will be like a shrub in the desert;
he will not see when prosperity comes.
He will dwell in the parched places of
the desert,
in a salt land where no one lives.”
Jeremiah 17:5,6.
Jesus said: “For this reason I say
to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you
will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what
you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than
clothing? 26“Look
at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather
into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are
you not worth much more than they? 27“And
who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his
life? 28“And
why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the
field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, 29yet
I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself
like one of these. 30“But
if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today
and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much
more clothe you? You of little faith! 31“Do
not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we
drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32“For
the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father
knows that you need all these things. 33“But
seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things
will be added to you.      34“So
do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each
day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:25-34.
What should the believer do? When the
storm comes, DO NOT WORRY. Trust in Jesus. Run to Jesus. Ask His
guidance, seek His will, seek His help. Pray, wait on Him. Refuse to
worry. Praise Jesus, while you wait on Him. Keep your focus on Jesus.
Jesus is greater than everything. He can and will answer our prayer.
May Jesus bless you.

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW


Jesus said:” do not worry about
tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough
trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:34. It is a command, an instruction,
of Jesus to those who follow Him, who put their trust in Him.
We cannot be trusting in Him, if we
worry. Without faith it is impossible to please God. He works on the
behalf of those who trust Him. Jesus said: “I will never leave, nor
forsake you.” He is our Helper and He will take care of us. We must
just trust in Him and not worry. It is written in Philippians 4:6,7
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to
God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
May Jesus bless you.

Fear Not Do Not Worry



Jesus told His disciples not to worry and not fear.

We read in Luke 12:22"And He said to His disciples, “For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. 23“For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24“Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds! 25“And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life’s span? 26“If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters? 27“Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 28“But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith! 29“And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying. 30“For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things. 31“But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you. 32“Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.

33“Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys. 34“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

If we follow and obey Jesus we need not fear nor stress. If we seek His will, His kingdom, then we have peace in our heart, because we know that He cares for us and makes all things work together for good for those who obey Him.

Those who sin and disobey Jesus, and go after their own desires,  have reason to fear and stress, because they will not inherit His kingdom, they will not enter heaven, unless they repent and follow Jesus..

Do we follow Jesus, obey Him and seek His approval? Can we pray with confidence and know He hears our prayers because we do what is pleasing to Him?

May Jesus bless you.

Do Not Worry - My Testimony



If you become a disciple of Jesus Christ you don't worry about the things that  the rest of the world worries about. Jesus said to His disciples:"For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26“Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? 27“And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? 28“And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, 29yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 30“But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! 31“Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32“For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.  34“So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:25-34.

I want to share with you my testimony.  When Jesus told my wife and me. to return to the US a few years ago, we did not know where we would be living. We arrived with all our belongings  in a few travel cases, clothes and computers. We did not have a car, nor a place to live. Before we left for the US, Jesus spoke to me one night and showed me we were living in a  camping trailer.

The normal questions that anyone would ask are: What veihicle to buy? What camping trailer, and where would we find it?

We prayed and asked Jesus. He told me what  model car to buy. It was not my choice of model nor brand, but I found it and bought it.

We still did not know about the camping trailer and where we would park it. We did not even have truck that could tow one, if we bought it. Jesus spoke to my wife one night and gave her a street name. She told me when she woke up and I recognized the street name, I knew where it was. The next day we drove there and had only travelled a few hundred yards down the road when we saw a camping trailer for sale at the side of the road. I just knew it was it.

We had a look at the trailer and  agreed with the seller to buy it. It turned out that there was a trailer park less than a mile away. The seller agreed to deliver the camping trailer at the trailer park, to park it and hook it up for us. So we did not even need a towing vehicle.

We did not need furniture, as the comping trailer was fully furnished and ready to be used.

We are driving the car Jesus showed us, living in the camping trailer that Jesus chose for us, and we are living where He determined for us and we will be there as long as He wants us to be there, because we are living for Him and His kingdom.

Those who follow Jesus seek His guidance and His will because they live to do His will. He guides their footsteps and determines their life. All they have to be concerned about is about staying with Jesus, following His guidance and doing His will. He knows what we need, even before we ask.

Do not worry about tommorrow.   "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."

May Jesus bless you.

Do Not Worry





Jesus Christ commands us
not to worry, not to be concerned about tomorrow because we cannot
change anything by worrying. He says that our Heavenly Father knows
what we need and He will freely give it to us, He will supply in all
our needs because He takes care of the birds of the heavens, He will
also take care of His children. Jesus gives peace beyond all
understanding to those who obey Him, but as it is written: There is
no peace for the sinner.
The sinner has a reason to
worry even though he is a believer. Jesus said He will never leave
us, He will never forsake us, but He also said that if we deny Him,
He will certainly also deny us. If we make God our refuge, if we
live for the kingdom of God and we obey the commands of Jesus then we
can pray with confidence and we can trust the Lord and know that He
will answer our prayer, that He will take care of us. But if we
disobey Him and we live selfishly for ourselves, if we have no
business with God, if we don't care for Jesus Christ and for His
kingdom then we have reason to be worried. It is only when we are in
obedience to Jesus, in Christ, that He gives us peace beyond all
understanding, no matter what our circumstances are, because He is in
control.
They once came to Jesus
and told Him about a tower that fell on people, the Tower of Shiloam,
and they were killed, and Jesus said to them:"If you do not
repent you will perish likewise." There is no peace for the
sinner, no peace for the person who disobeys Jesus Christ, he has
reason to worry not only about his current situation and what is
happening in the world, the uncertainties, the anxiety that is
destroying so many people. It is because of sin, it is because of not
obeying Jesus. They do not have Jesus and therefor they do not have
peace. If we obey Jesus then we have no reason to worry, then we can
have confidence, and His peace will be in us and with us. If we sin
and disobey Him that peace will leave us.
Do you want that peace
that Jesus gives, that peace beyond all understanding? Then obey Him
obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, live in obedience to Him. Repent and
be baptized in water, obey His commands, live holy and righteous and
Jesus Christ will give His peace in you. He will give his Holy Spirit
in you, He will reveal Himself to you and you will be in peace even
though this whole world is falling to pieces, because God is in
control. But He looks after those who take Him seriously, those who
are for Him. If God is for us, who can be against us, but if we are
against God then we are without the protection of God. Jesus said
that He will never leave us He will never forsake us, but if we deny
Him, He will certainly also deny us. If we do not take Him seriously
and we do not obey Him, in our day of trouble, we will call on Him
and He will not answer, because when He called we did not answer, we
were not interested in Him. If we deny Jesus, He will certainly also
deny us but if we seek to please Him, if we live for Him and for His
kingdom, then we can rest at ease, we can be at peace, because He
fills us with His peace that passes all understanding, then we need
not worry.
Are you worried? Are you
concerned about tomorrow, about the future, about what is happening
in the world, about what could happen? Obey the gospel of Jesus
Christ and He will give you peace beyond all understanding. He will
give you peace that you cannot find anywhere else because He takes
care of those who trust Him and who obey Him.
May Jesus bless you.

Worry about yourself



Some believers are forever correcting others, telling them what they should be doing. we only need to worry about ourselves. Is Jesus Christ pleased with you and me? Are we doing what He wants us to do?

We cannot fix other people, but Jesus can fix all of us if we submit to Him, if we follow Him and stay with Him. I cannot help you, neither can anybody else help you. That is why my advice to you is:"Go to Jesus."

Mind your own walk with Jesus. Get serious with Jesus and He will guide you into all truth. Worry about yourself and do not meddle with other people.

If we follow Jesus and do what He requires of us, then we will bear fruit and bring others to Him as well.

May Jesus bless you.

Worry about yourself



Many so-called Christian believers attack me and others who preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. They want to correct us and accuse us of preaching a WORKS BASED gospel. The gospel of Jesus Christ is based on WORKS.

Jesus Christ will judge every man according to their DEEDS, what they have done.

My message to those who attack me and want to correct me is:  WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF. Each of us will stand before Jesus Christ and give account to Him for what we have done or neglected to do.

Dear friend, WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION with FEAR and TREMBLING. God is watching us.

May Jesus bless you.

Don't worry about tomorrow



Jesus Christ said that we should not worry about tomorrow but we must seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness and then all the other things will be added unto us.

The reason why believers are so worried is because they are NOT FOLLOWING Jesus Christ and they have reason to worry. they have reason to worry about their retirement, about all the sorrows of life, because they are not following Jesus Christ. Many trust in Jesus for their salvation but they are not following Him, neither are they obeying Him.  They are not going with Him and that is why they will perish. We have to follow Jesus Christ every day. He knows what we need. He knows about tomorrow because He is already there. We don't, we do not even know whether we will be alive tomorrow but Jesus knows. We have to seek Him, His guidance. He is the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE, He knows what we need. He knows what He has planned for us in His kingdom because it is the will of God to GIVE His kingdom to His children, to those who follow and obey Jesus Christ. But very few are His children, very few follow Him. They worry about the things of the world, they are concerned about what other people think . They are worried about their future. They worry about everything in life but they are not concerned about their relationship with Jesus Christ and they will perish because all that really matters is our relationship with Jesus Christ, following Him every day step by step.

If we stay with Jesus we will be SAFE because He will guide us, He will teach us and He will supply in all out needs. But we have to submit ourselves to Him, follow and obey Him and DO what He commands us to do, GO where He sends us. We have to be part of His kingdom or else we will perish.

Do not worry about tomorrow. Worry about your relationship with Jesus Christ TODAY and every day and He will guide you into all truth. You will not come short of anything and you will have eternal life IF you stay with Jesus and you endure with Him until the very, very  end.  Don't worry about tomorrow. Worry about following Jesus Christ TODAY and every day until the very end.

May Jesus bless you.

Do not WORRY about tomorrow


If we follow Jesus Christ we do not worry about tomorrow because Jesus goes ahead of us and He opens doors, He paves the way. Sometimes there is no way but Jesus is the WAY and because we follow Him we don't worry because Jesus is already there. He said we must not worry about tomorrow, we must not worry about the future, we must stay focused on Him, LISTEN to His voice and FOLLOW Him every day and He will guide us into all truth, He will guide us through the NARROW DOOR into the kingdom of Heaven and He will give us ETERNAL LIFE. Do not worry about tomorrow, follow Jesus Christ and He will guide you every step of the way.

Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know Who holds the future
And I know Who holds my hand.

Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know Who holds the future
And I know Who holds my hand.

Jesus Christ holds my hand. Is your hand in His hand? Because then you have a future.
Stay WITH Jesus and DON'T WORRY.

May Jesus bless you.
