1 Corinthians 16
Inspired thots
There is so much to cover in God's ministry. The doors of ministry are always open as the harvest is white and plentiful; just awaiting the harvest workers as called by the Lord and their willingness to be available. Some may be called but not willing. Others may be busy attending to other areas; wait for the Lord's timing with a willing heart if one is available.
There would be others whom we can work together in the ministry. Be strong; be courageous; be watchful. Serve one another with love and the kingdom of God advances. Hallelujah!
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)

A Glorious Day to Come
1 Corinthians 15
Inspired thots
The Crux of the Christian faith is the Resurrection. What joy! What excitement! We who are in Christ do not live just for the moment but for eternity when our perishable bodies become imperishable to spend Eternity with God. That is our hope and destiny.
Time on earth is to prepare ourselves for that glorious day; to invite as many as possible to join us for that glorious day. It is for one and all. Death has no power over us; it takes what belongs to it and not of God; and we are of God. Amen! Hallelujah!

Spirit's Manifestations for Building Up the Body of Christ
1 Corinthians 14
Inspired thots
God has loads of gifts and blessings to pour out to His children. Those who desire them need to know that there is a purpose for each spiritual gift given. It is not for self alone but the body of Christ to be built up. A strong chapter on prophesying to build up the church. So clear in v12 that 'since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church'.
God's gifts are never for ourselves; it is for the whole body of Christ so that it is made perfect unto Him. What a loving God!

LOVE Seals the Whole
1 Corinthians 13
Inspired thots
Just as each of us is one part of Christ's body, our self wisdom and strength is limited and in part. We wait eagerly for the promises of God to make us whole and perfect. Only God's ways are perfect; we cannot rely on Self to attain greatness. And the simple truth of greatness is this... LOVE.
Nothing matters or is worth a dime without Love... compassion.... mercy... acceptance... caring.... kindness... patience... endurance... all these are fruits of the Spirit who dwells within. How wide and deep is God's love for each of us so that we would be complete and perfect in Him.

Being One Part to Make the WHOLE
1 Corinthians 12
Inspired thots
What a beautiful and appropriate analogy of the body to the church! This apt analogy serves to remind us not to be proud of ourselves just because we think we are special and gifted; in fact, everyone is special and gifted in God's eyes as our loving Father.
Our gifts are meant to bless others; it is always about OTHERS; not self. We are meant to build up others in Christ; not self. A great reminder for all times; each of us is ONE PART to make up the WHOLE for the glory of God. Hallelujah!

Arising Issues with New Life
1 Corinthians 11
Inspired thots
Although it is supposed to be a happy day and a happy ending with salvation, the journey can be besieged with issues that can cause disharmony in the church; the body of Christ. It is hard for a "leopard to change its skin" unless the Spirit of God is at work and the individual is willing.
Otherwise, a lot of conflicting issues can create hassles for the body of Christ. Instead of living victoriously, we live in defeat; battling within and among ourselves than the actual enemy. How sad. How much more we need to be alert to the spiritual health of one and others in the body of Christ. We need you, Lord and Holy Spirit! Maranatha!

Written Warnings
1 Corinthians 10
Inspired thots
The Bible is written as warnings and guidelines to help us walk righteously before God; it helps us learn from others' mistakes so that we could be wiser. Our lives can be so much more meaningful with the Bible helping us understand the ways and thoughts of God compared to the foolishness of man's wisdom.
It is a matter of accepting or rejecting the Word and Ways of God. Idols are nothing but our actions towards them is a show of disrespect to God.
