© The Cross-Mania series © Mèros 1 Hello there. Happy Good Friday! Just a few thoughts that I would love to share with you this season. Be blessed. [/b]THANK GOD ITS 'GOOD' FRIDAY (TGIGF)[b] The acronym TGIF is not new to us. The rationale is to thank God for another weekend with a relaxational and funfilled expectation. Lo! This Friday is different, it is good Friday. What constitutes the prefix 'good' is the salvation manifestation of Jesus that this day reminds. It wasn't funfilled for Him yet the Joy was set to save humankind. He was scourged, forced to bear the Crossbeam. The nails were driven through the wrist and feet. It took hours of hideous pain as the extremities turned slowly gangrenous. Death was caused by loss of blood circulation and coronary failure. Jesus suffered the most painful and degrading form of capital punishment of ancient Rome. However, the Cross became also the means by which Jesus became the atoning sacrifice for our sins. It also became a symbol for the sacrifice of self in discipleship (Rom 12:1) and for the death of self to the world (Mark 8:34). Hence, the salvation makes the Friday good! You can make it a better Friday by accepting this salvation offer. Also, make it the best Friday by sharing the goodnews! Thank God Its Good Friday (TGIGF)! God bless. |

The Cross-Mania series Mèros 2 Hi friends! Hope your Good Friday had been lovely? Enjoy this beautiful message [/b]*Triumphant by the Sacrifice*[b] The world was filled with so much distraction and confusion; yet men were living with so much excitement!. The world was filled with so much creativity and beauty; yet men had no genuine sense of direction. "What is man that thou Hath mindful of him nor the son of man that thou Visited him" Hebrews 1:5 Jesus was the answer to the hopeless state of man and God visiting man in person was the only way to the redemption of man. Jesus came and laid down his life with so much Love and Joy.Yes!, He was the expression of Gods image. He was the brightness of the father's glory (Hebrews 1:3), yet, He made himself of no reputation and laid down his life for the sins of the entire world (Philippians 2:7). The beauty is not just that Christ died but in the fact that he rose again. He rose and triumphed victorious over principalities and power, which He led significantly with "the triumphant entry". We are now made to sit with him in heavenly places where sickness, disease, poverty and shame has no reign. We are now made kings to reign in this world (Ephesians 2:6). Christ's victory is our victory. He didn't need the victory to be a better God after all. The victory was meant for us to have dominion on earth just like he has dominion in heaven. Now we have been made able ministers of the new testament (2 Corinthians 3:6). We carry this light and shine it to the world; we spread the fragrance of his goodness and make manifest the savour of his knowledge in every place... For we are his workmanship created for every good work (Ephesians 2:10). Christ died!... He rose!!... He reigns!!!. We died!... We rose!!... We reign!!!. (Romans 6: Easter is not a time to mourn but a time to celebrate the risen king in an unusual way!... Hallelujah!... Hosanna!!... Jesus reigns!!!. |

The Cross-Mania series Mèros 3 Good morning guys! Here's another beautiful message this season. Be blessed! [/b]FOR THE JOY SET BEFORE HIM (Heb 12:4)[b] "Behold He Comes" 1Thes 4:14-17 From His supernatural birth to his glorious life , death and resurrection, we also have hope of His unexpected yet expected coming. Having gone to reign to the Father and to prepare a place for you and me, behold He comes to reap the wheat from the chaff before the great tribulation. We have heard of stories of war and rumours of war,kingdoms have risen against kingdoms, earthquakes and pestilence is no longer a news. False prophets have risen and the love of many is frozen cold. Matt24:6-12. There is no doubt these are the signs His coming. Like in the days of Noah,the great flood cometh to wash away the earth from all iniquity but only those in the ark shall reign in the new heaven and new earth. Gen8:1 Let us therefore watch and pray for the time is nigh. For the jot set before us is not only in the now, it is also in we reigning wit Him eternally. "And behold I come quickly and my reward is with me to give to everyman according as his shall be" Rev22:12. Shallom |

The Cross-Mania series Mèros 4 Hallelujah! Christ is Risen! Happy Easter Sunday. Enjoy this nice poetic piece. Stay blessed [/b]*FOR THE JOY SET BEFORE HIM*[b] As mankind's place was tampered The dream of God was hampered His heart indeed was battered And sought to find a standard To fix back what was shattered For blood of bull that littered Could not fix what was tampered Alas God found a sure way! Though it was such a high pay To give His son up to slay Yet Jesus did not say nay The cross was not a child's play To do God's will in God's way But Christ borne it all the way Not for the sit God gave him Nor for the name and the theme For Satan bid him such sym But he fell not for his scheme He eyed not God's place like him When he was equal to Him But for the joy ahead of him To end well in and with Him Satisfied him to the brim Though your cross be like a stack Like Christ you won't turn aback If you follow not for lack And serve Him not for a pack But you press towards the mark To end in God on the track And go to be with Him back Shalom! |
