For through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can't see — such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him.

Jonathan Edwards

"God's purpose for my life was that I have a passion for God's glory and that I have a passion for my joy in that glory, and that these two are one passion."

Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?"

God said to Moses, "I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I am has sent me to you.'"

Moses asked a question and God answered I am who I am.

Jesus the word made flesh, the Great I AM in the flesh uttered and expressed this statement in seven folds.

• I am the living bread.
• I am the shepherd.
• I am the gate.
• I am the resurrection and the life.
• I am the way, truth and life.
• I am the light of the world.
• I am the true vine.

How much more, then will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from the acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!

Revelation 12:11

They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

Revelation 5:9

And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation."

Sin is expensive but the blood of Jesus is Priceless.

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace.

Hebrews 10:19-22

19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,

20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body,

21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

15 Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,

16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.

The unit of destiny is time. Whatever affects your time affects your destiny. Wisdom is your ability to have dominion over time.

~Apostle Joshua Selman~

Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

There is a yearning for more in every man as God has planted eternity in the hearts of men.

This insatiable desire can't be replaced with mammon, fame, accolades etc. This void can only be filled with the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

Examine Scriptures daily with the help of the Holy Spirit because in it you find liberty and are able to discern false doctrine.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Elohim — the Hebrew name for God used in the very first verse of Scripture. It reveals God as the all-powerful Creator, the Supreme Being who spoke all things into existence.

The plural form of the name hints at the majesty and fullness of the Godhead — Father, Son and Holy Spirit — working in perfect unity from the very beginning.

Psalm 19:1

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Isaiah 40:28

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

The Creator knows His creation. He knows you.

Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

Jesus spoke these words to the Samaritan woman at the well. She came seeking natural water, but left having encountered the source of living water.

The things of this world leave you thirsty again. Status, wealth, pleasure — they never fully satisfy. But Christ offers water that quenches the deepest thirst of the soul.

John 7:37-38

On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them."

Revelation 22:17

The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let the one who hears say, "Come!" Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

Come and drink. The water of life is free.
