Stand Up for Jesus

The trouble he causes recoils on himself; his violence comes down on his own head. Psalm 7:15

Troublemakers tend to self-destruct. There is no need to get worked up over their acts of deception. They are dishonest. They lie when the truth will suffice. The harm they intend to inflict on others comes back to hurt them. Troublemakers attempt to discredit those they are jealous of, and in the process, discredit themselves. Troublemakers conceive elaborate plans with evil intent. It is all about them and their agenda. They can easily tell us one thing and do another. With delight, they can push our buttons to get what they want. With a straight face, they can make up stories to embolden their position. Their deception is a means to an end. In their mind a good outcome justifies a polluted process. It doesn’t matter how they get to the goal as long as they reach the goal.

We stand up to them in the right spirit without crushing their spirit. They are totally insecure and fearful, afraid to admit their insecurities. Because their acceptance is based on performance, they are always looking for ways to impress others. They miss the point that they are totally and unconditionally accepted in Christ. He is our stability for security. It is not what we do that keeps us secure; it is who we are and whose we are. In Christ we have all we need. We do not have to impress others; we just need to be who we are in Him. The fruit of the Spirit will do the talking for us. People are impressed with follow-through, not fancy false promises.

We trust God with troublemakers. We are not their judge and jury. He can handle them in His timing and in His way. We have our own sins to confess and repent of on a regular basis. Our sins may not be as blatant, but they are still present. We may not sin in as pronounced a manner as a troublemaker; nonetheless we still struggle with dishonesty and deception. It may be on a smaller scale, but we still weigh in as ones who struggle with being troublemakers. So let’s contrast the life of a troublemaker by being a blessing maker. Let’s be a blessing instead of a curse. Let’s extend consolation instead of consternation. Let’s focus on giving instead of taking. Let’s be a solace instead of a pain. Let’s serve instead of being served. Let’s encourage instead of discourage.

Furthermore, we must pray for troublemakers to trust God. We must pray they will offer Him their lives for His glory. We can replace gossip with prayers to God on their behalf. At the right time and in the right way, we can help them understand their destructive ways. Otherwise, they will destroy themselves. They prepare destruction for themselves by preparing themselves for destruction. We can be a catalyst of Christ’s to guide them away from this path of self-destruction. But we must do everything out of love and respect in the context of our relationship. We can give them the respect they never had, and they may begin to respect themselves. God’s grace can change troublemakers into blessing makers. We are proof.-WH

Month Ending Fasting & Praying

Month of April will be ending after about 5 days from now. During the last Friday all the Christians who worship with the Jiangnan University Foreign students' Fellowship are required to fast from dawn to dusk for prayer. At the lunch hour (UTC+8) the students separate into two groups male and female respectively for prayer. The male group will congregate in brother Joseph's (Rwanda) and likewise the female in Mirriam's (Uganda) rooms for an intensive prayer session. So many testimonies were said about christians receiving the answers of their prayers. At the same, it the christians duty to continue to prayer. It is like breathing, man shall not live without oxygen. The fasting ends in the evening with prayer supplication, singing and praising. This has kept the christian brethrens from all over the world who are studying at the Jiangnan University maintain their faith at the same time being protected from the devil's schemes and plans.

The Holy Spirit is the Sheperd who continue to guide and protects against every infiltrations by the devil and its fallen angels. He continues to leads and guides the believers in their hunger and thirst for His righteousness and purity. He continuous shower His blessings and properity daily upon the lecture and laboratory sessions.

When those who are in need during pain and sick he is there to heal the sick and infirmity. On the Cross His body was pierce and the Blood gushed out for the sicknesses and infirmities because by His strips and wounds they are healed.

He charges His angel to guard against evil spirits in the heavenly realms and darkness. He is so merciful and faithful.

The students rely on Him when in need. He has been there and will continue to be there with or without calling upon Him. He is ever available Daddy. Believers call Him Daddy because life on earth is just for a mere 70 years or those who can make it for say 90years. There is definitely live after death. Thus when the believers ascend into heaven will be there worship Him day and night where the Cherubums and Sheriphim worship Him all the moments.

Jesus has made the way to Him by being the bridge. Jesus is the Way, Truth and Life, no-one goes to the Father except through Him.Daddy recognized those who realize their weaknesses and come to Him for help. For He is meek and lowly in heart.
