Jesus: Focus on Him in 2017 - Hebrews 13:8


This is Namma for Christ with the one hundred fifth inspirational message dated Friday, December 30th, 2016. The title of this message is, "Jesus: Focus on Him in 2017 - Hebrews 13:8.  The first word of the title of this message is "Jesus".  JESUS is our Lord and Savior, our Redeemer, our King of Kings, our Lord of Lords - Jesus is the "Author and Finisher of our faith"!

 "Jesus" is also the "title" of the inspirational song/video (as beautifully sung by Chris Tomlin - that is at the end of this message.)  The scripture for this message comes from the eighth verse of the thirteenth chapter of Hebrews: 


Hebrews 13:8
New King James Version (NKJV)

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.


YOU can look to, focus on and TRUST in Jesus - because, HE doesn't change: He is the same, yesterday, today and forever!

In preparing this message, I prayed to God of what I should say as we look forward to starting a new year in 2017.

Focus on JESUS in 2017!

I plan to apply these words "first" to myself in 2017. Why?  Because I want God's BEST for my life! I also want the same for you - GOD's BEST for YOUR LIFE

God LOVES US! He loves us SO much that He gave us JESUS - His only begotten Son: to be our Savior, our Intercessor to God, to be our Lord of All.


John 3:16

New King James Version (NKJV)


16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

We have access to God, because of Jesus. PRAY! PRAY! PRAY! "Pray every day" and ask GOD to be with you today, tomorrow, and to ALWAYS be with you! Ask the LORD to direct your every thought, your every decision, and each of your steps! Let HIM lead and guide your life! 

His very name: "Emmanuel" means:" GOD WITH US!"

Hebrews 13:5 reminds us - "He will NEVER leave us, nor forsake us."

No matter what you (or your family/friends are going through) - NOTHING is too hard for OUR GOD!



Jeremiah 32:17

New King James Version (NKJV)



17 ‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.


With GOD - ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!



Matthew 19:26

New King James Version (NKJV)



26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”


Focus on JESUS in 2017!


Our Lord already told us - we can turn "all our cares" over to HIM!


Whatever problem, challenge, difficulty, trial or tribulation you may find yourself in... JESUS CAN HELP YOU! HE CARES FOR YOU! GIVE IT TO JESUS! 



1st Peter 5:6-7 reassures us:


Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

FOCUS on JESUS!


Jesus already told us in the Bible - that "we will have trouble" - but, remember JESUS said, "In Him, we can have peace" and that we should "be of good cheer" - because ...He overcame the world!


John 16:33

 

New King James Version (NKJV)


33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.



TRUST THE LORD:


Proverbs 3:5-6 

King James Version (KJV)

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

Trust GOD - Pray to Him for His Will to be done in your life:

As you are blessed - don't forget to tell others about what God has done for you! Many times, God blesses us, to be a blessing to others!

Ask the LORD how He wants to "use you", today and in your future! He knows what is BEST for your life! He made you and He loves you! He has a unique plan specifically for you:


Jeremiah 29:11

New International Version (NIV)



11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.



Focus on JESUS in 2017!

May the LORD bless, lead and guide you today and always!
