60 seconds with God

During 60 seconds, leave whatsoever you're doing and seize this opportunity! Let's see if satan can stop this.


THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS

At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to the death penalty.

That was then the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals could die like Jesus. And with Jesus things were worst, because not all the criminals condemned to death could receive nails on their hands and feet

Of course, nails... Big nails! Each was 15 - 20 cm long, with a point of 6 cm.. Another point was sharp.
The nails were struck into the pulses, and not into the palms, as we are have been told. In the pulse, there's a tendon which extends to the shoulder, and when the nails were being hammered, that tendon broke, obliging Jesus to reinforce all the muscles of his back, so that he could breath as He was losing all the air from his lungs.
In this way, He was forced to support Himself onto the nail struck in his feet, which was bigger than those struck into his pulses, for both feet were nailed together. And, as his feet could not endure for a long time without tearing, Jesus was forced to alternate that "cycle" so that He could breath.
Jesus endured that reality for over 3 hours.


Yes, over 3 hours! Long time, isn't it? Few minutes before He died, Jesus was not bleeding anymore.




He was simply pouring water from his cuts and holes.

When we imagine Him injured, we only picture Him with injuries, but it is not enough; His wounds were true holes, made in his body.

He had no more blood to bleed, He only poured water.

The human body is composed of nearly 3.5 litres of blood (for an adult).


Jesus poured all 3.5 litres of his blood; He had three nails hammered into his limbs; a crown of thorns on his head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who nailed a spear into his side.
All these without mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying his own cross for almost 2 kilometres, while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part, where his hands were nailed).
Jesus had to pass all this experience, so that you can have free access to God.

So that your sins could be "washed" away. All of them, with no exception! Don't ignore this situation. HE DIED FOR YOU! For you, who now read this e-mail. Do not believe that He only died for others (those who go to the church or for pastors, bishops, etc).

He died for you! It is easy to pass jokes or foolish photos by e-mail, but when it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward to others because you are worried of what they may think about your morals.




Accept the reality, the truth that JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD.



God has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced to save you. Now think about this! May God bless your life!

60 seconds with God....



During 60 seconds, leave whatsoever you're doing and seize this opportunity! Let's see if satan can stop this.


All you have to do is:

1.
Simply pray for the person who sent this message to you: Lord, you better know the life of _________. I ask You to bless him/her in all realms and make him/her prospering. Take care of his/her family, his/her health, his/her work and all his/her plans for this year.. Lead him/her not into temptation, but deliver him/her from evil. In Jesus' name, amen.

2.Then, send this message to 10 people.


3. Once, 10 people will pray for you and you will make that many people pray to God for other people.


4. Think a moment and appreciate the power of God in your life, for doing what pleases Him.


If you are not ashamed in doing this, please, follow Jesus' instructions. He said (Matthew
10:33): "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven".

If you are not ashamed, send this message... Only if you believe in Him.


Yes, I love God. He is my source of life and my saviour. He keeps me alive day and night.


Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me". Philippians 4:13.






Kahwin atau tidak?


Kahwin atau tidak kahwin? Inilah dua perkara yang selalu menjadi persoalan segelentir umat manusia. Ada orang memperjuangkan idea bahawa setiap manusia harus kahwin dan ada juga orang yang mempertahankan pilihan mereka hidup tanpa terikat kepada perkahwinan. Pendek kata kita ada pilihan didalam hidup ini iaitu hidup berkahwin atau pun hidup membujang.


Sebaiknya didalam hal ini tidak perlulah kita terlalu mempersoalkan tentang hal ini sehingga menyebabkan persahabatan dan hubungan diantara kita menjadi tegang dan renggang. Kerana kita harus menghormati apa juga pilihan yang dibuat oleh seseorang. Kerana setiap manusia itu berhak memilih cara hidup yang dia fikirkan sesuai dan baik untuknya. Jadi, tugas kita bukanlah untuk mengutuk dan membenci pilihannya tetapi menghormati pilihannya. Samada dia senang atau susah dikemudian hari, itu adalah tanggungannya sendiri dan bukan menjadi masalah kita. Apa yang penting bagi kita ialah menghormati pilihannya dan jika perlu memberi sokongan yang sewajarnya.


Ingatlah didalam Alkitab tidak terdapat yang mewajibkan seseorang berkahwin atau membujang. Ini jelas sekali didalam Injil Matius yang berbunyi: "Karena ada orang yang tidak dapat kawin, sebab mereka memang lahir begitu. Ada juga yang tidak dapat kawin sebab ia dibuat begitu oleh orang lain. Dan ada pula yang memilih sendiri untuk tidak kawin, supaya dapat melayani Allah. Orang yang sanggup menerima pengajaran ini, biarlah ia menerimanya."(Mat.19:12)


Jestru itu, marilah kita saling menghormati cara hidup yang masing-masing kita pilih. Disamping itu, jangan lupa untuk saling memberi sokongan supaya kita setia dan tabah menempuh cara hidup yang kita sendiri pilih. Amin.

I always follow one of the Priest blog, Fr Eric Jerome. I love the article, so i decided to take the article as my daily reflection.
