Got the Word of God today?

Jesus once said: “Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” (John 6:47-51)
 
Jesus is our Manna we need to eat day in and day out for us to live in Him. Jesus is the Word of God. (Genesis 1:1; John 1:1, 14; Revelation 19:13)

Meditate the Word Day and Night. Why?

That is the only way we can grow in Christ-likeness. Otherwise we only carry the name “Christian” and live like pagans who have no God.

So, repetition is the only way we live Christianity. We need to read the Word again and again; think about it again and again; preach it to our own hearts again and again. Then the Word takes over our lives. ///

Blessed is – Who?

“Blessed is the one

who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.” (Psalm 1:1-3)

If blessed is this kind of person; a person who is not blessed is the opposite of the person who is described above.

Meditate the Word of God DAY AND NIGHT so that you will be blessed. ///

“In fourth grade – – – I was raped by several men”

Sometimes when we see someone acting out sexually in the most heinous way possible, it is good to ask, “What must have happened to this person for him/her to embrace this kind of lifestyle?”
 
This young man was beyond anybody’s reach; but compassionate people, people who have tasted and seen the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ and the power of the Blood of Jesus; people who themselves had led sinful lifestyles but were salvaged by the grace of God, were able to reach out to him. They were able to see this wounded person beyond his lifestyle through the love of Jesus Christ they themselves have experienced in their lives.

The Song that Touched my Heart

Oh, how I love this song. I love it because I see Christ all over it; I see the grace and mercy of God that is revealed on the Cross of Jesus Christ; a merciful God we all need in everyday of our lives.
 
Isn’t what the Gospel is all about!
 
Yes, I was touched to the core of my being by this video the night I saw it; and every time I see it, I can’t resist the urge to love and worship Jesus Christ in whom I live, move and have my being.
 
Thank you Pastor Tekeste Getnet.

The Pleasure of Sex before Marriage is fleeting!

You know, I love to hear the truth about “sex before marriage” from transparent and authentic people like Allyson Rowe.
 
“Been there, done that and don’t wanna go back because I now know the truth” kind of testimony touches my heart deep. I mean, people like Allyson Rowe are speaking from experience. They were lied to but God gave them a second chance and they are speaking out to save others from the devil’s lie. Don’t you love these kinds of people? I do!
 
I wish I heard this kind of testimony when I was a teenager.

Thank You to All Who Attended the Conference in London

Praise God, I’m home. What a wonderful week I had with the people of God in London!

Before I say anything, I would like to say thank you to many people who made my stay in London a notable one. So, here we go:

I first would like to say “thank you” to the leaders of the ECFC, Ethiopian Christians Fellowship Church in UK (Dr. Getachew Zergaw, Pastor Yishak Tesfaye and Pastor Fasil Belete), who invited me over. May the LORD bless you and yours!

I also would like to say “thank you,” to the whole congregation (including to those who’ve come from different churches and countries like Germany and Norway), who attended the Easter conference from Friday to Sunday and “thank you” to the parents who’ve come out to attend the two-day parents’ seminar and sent their teenagers over to the young-adults’ seminar.

A Message that Warmed My Heart

I’ve been receiving different encouraging messages from many people since last Saturday. I thank God for each and every one of you who took time to drop me beautiful messages. You London Christians, I am not sure how to thank you. May the LORD bless all of you! But please remember this: there is nothing good in me but Christ. So, I give Him all the glory, worship and praise.
 
Well, from all the messages I’ve received so far, one message stood out to me. It is sent from one of the young adults I ministered on Sunday and Monday and I wanted to share the message with you all. So, I asked her permission. Listen how this young and beautiful girl responded back, “Yes of course you can post it if you feel it is at all beneficial.”
 
Don’t you love that! I do! Thank you my friend for giving me permission.
 
With this note, I want to share with you one better picture I posted yesterday. So, here we go:
