The Lord is compassionate and gracious; slow to
anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he
harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay
us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the
earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as
the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions
from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord
has compassion on those who fear him. - Psalm 103: 8-12
Hello BGBians,
How have you been? Wishing you
the best in the rest of the week, month & year.
I just thought I share with my
readers from this book I just finished reading today. It titled ‘The Power of Right Believing’ by
Pastor Joseph Prince. He is a pastor based in Singapore whose ministry preaches
the grace of God.
I have always been fascinated with
him when I started to watch him preach on TBN. His program airs then
immediately after Joyce Meyer (my mentor). He takes his times to breakdown the
scriptures, give insightful examples and illustrations. Now that I am opportune
to read his book I am most glad I bought the book. It has been an eye opener I learnt
a lot and saw God in a whole new perspective and even various popular
scriptures were seen in a whole new light. It was as if a light was switched
on.
Another thing I love about his
writing is how through the power of imagination and taking every little detail
surrounding a story in the scripture or a verse (as he says no detail is
insignificant) he represents same story and you are like ‘Ah-ah’.
I am going to share his own
recount of the story of the Samaritan woman Jesus met at the well.
So, what do you think?
This book talks about the
grace of God through Christ- the unmerited, unworked for, freely given favour
of God. The power to believe right that grace supersedes the law, all your sins
past, present and future has been forgiven in Christ when He died. It says that
when God sees us he sees the righteousness of Christ and not our righteousness.
It tells of how we should not give hold to the devil when we feel incapable after
falling into sin, but believe that the work of Christ on the cross has qualified
us from all guilt, fears, addictions etc.
God love you no matter what
you do, you are doing or will do. Come to HIM.
With love,
Bummiegherit!
