This is Namma for Christ with the twenty-first inspirational message dated Sunday, January, 27, 2013. The title for this message is: "JESUS IS LOVE- 1st John 4: 7-11". The video (with lyrics- which is provided below) is  sung so powerfully by Lionel Richie is also entitled : "JESUS IS LOVE". The scripture comes from 1st John 4: 7-11, as provided below:



1 John 4:7-11

King James Version (KJV)
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

JESUS IS LOVE....HE IS GOD'S SON...AND AS THE ABOVE SCRIPTURE TELLS US IN 1ST JOHN 4:8 - GOD IS LOVE. 1ST JOHN 4: 9 TELLS US HOW MUCH GOD LOVES US:



In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.


GOD LOVES YOU! THE ABOVE SCRIPTURE TELLS US THAT GOD LOVED US SO MUCH THAT HE SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON INTO THE WORLD, THAT WE MIGHT "LIVE" THROUGH HIM!

LIVE....LIVE...LIVE FOR JESUS!

YOU WERE CREATED FOR THE LORD'S UNIQUE AND SPECIAL PURPOSE!
GOD WANTS "YOU" TO GLORIFY "HIM" BY YOUR LIFE!

NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE PRESENTLY GOING THROUGH, NO PROBLEM IS TOO BIG FOR GOD TO HANDLE!  GIVE YOUR CONCERNS, PROBLEMS AND WORRIES TO GOD AND PRAY AND SEEK JESUS TO LET HIM HELP YOU WITH YOUR LIFE AND LET HIM LIVE THROUGH YOU! GOD MADE YOU AND HE IS YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER - HE WANTS WHAT IS BEST FOR HIS CHILDREN!

REMEMBER- THE LORD'S VERY NAME - "EMMANUEL"  MEANS "GOD WITH US" - as the scriptures states below:

Matthew 1:23

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

YOU are NOT ALONE! GOD IS WITH YOU! 



Psalm 46:1

King James Version (KJV)
46 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.




Hebrews 13:5

King James Version (KJV)
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.


Matthew 28:18-20

King James Version (KJV)
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.



ALWAYS REMEMBER JESUS IS LOVE...HE IS WITH YOU...AND HE LOVES YOU.
CALL ON HIM..PRAY TO HIM...READ HIS WORD...SEEK HIM FOR ALL THAT YOU NEED...LET HIM LIVE THROUGH YOU...AND ALWAYS THANK HIM!

JESUS IS LOVE!

My Help Comes From the Lord - Psalm 121: 1-2



This is Namma for Christ with the fifty-third inspirational message dated Saturday, July 12th, 2014. The title of this message is: "My Help Comes From the Lord - Psalm 121: 1-2".  This message is based on the below scripture text from the 121st Psalm as found in the Old Testament (KJV):





Psalm 121 King James Version (KJV)

121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.



The below was first written by me on November 3rd, 2012. When I recently reread this message, it once again reminded me that this is a message to be shared "again": OUR HELP COMES FROM THE LORD! As the above scripture reminds us - the "SAME" GOD who made HEAVEN AND EARTH "IS" there TO HELP US IN "ALL" that we go through in this life!


Please read....be blessed....and enjoy an inspiring song/video, entitled "My Help" at the end of this message by, "The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir":



In a world where everyone is searching for something....


Psalm 121 has the answer - to what can truly HELP us in our lives...the LORD...HE IS OUR "ALL IN ALL"!


Whenever problems, pressures, pain or troubles in life come...we must remember ...we are never alone...


REMEMBER ....Hebrews 13:5 states (what Jesus said:)  "...I WILL NEVER LEAVE THEE, NOR FORSAKE THEE."


Whatever gets us down....please remember : WE MUST "LIFT UP" OUR EYES UNTO THE HILLS,  FROM WHERE OUR HELP COMES...OUR HELP COMES FROM THE LORD, WHICH MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH!

 NO PROBLEM, SITUATION OR CIRCUMSTANCE IS TOO BIG FOR GOD TO HANDLE!


Genesis 18:14 reads - "IS ANY THING "TOO HARD" FOR THE LORD?..."


Also, Jeremiah 32:17 states - "Ah Lord God! Behold, "thou hast MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH BY THY GREAT POWER AND STRETCHED OUT ARM, AND THERE IS "NOTHING TOO HARD" FOR THEE:"

WE ARE "NEVER" SO FAR GONE....OR NEVER TOO LOW...OR TOO BAD...OR TOO MESSED UP ....THAT GOD CANNOT "HELP" US!

Furthermore, Hebrews 13:6 states, "So that we may boldly say, "THE LORD IS MY HELPER, AND I WILL NOT FEAR WHAT MAN SHALL DO UNTO ME."

Please never forget that Jesus LOVES YOU...He wants what is BEST for YOU!  Believe that Jesus died for your sins, confess to HIM and ask Jesus into your heart to be your LORD and SAVIOR - if you haven't already.

ALWAYS REMEMBER: ROMANS 8:31 - "IF GOD BE FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?"

LOOK TO JESUS - HE IS YOUR HELP- FOR  WHATEVER YOU NEED!



BE BLESSED!


Below are the lyrics to The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir's song, "MY HELP" - ENJOY AND BE BLESSED!

The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir "My Help" lyrics

Verse:
I will lift up mine eyes to the hills
from whence cometh my help,
my help cometh from the Lord,
the Lord which made Heaven and Earth.

He said He would not suffer thy foot,
thy foot to be moved;
the Lord which keepeth thee,
He will not slumber nor sleep.

Bridge
Oh the Lord is thy keeper,
the Lord is thy shade
upon thy right hand,
upon thy right hand.

No, the sun shall not smite thee by day,
nor the moon by night,
He shall preserve thy soul
even forever more.

Chorus:
My help, my help, my help,
all of my help cometh from the Lord.
