Philippians 3: 12 - 16“12Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

13Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

14I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

16Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.”

“To be like Jesus, to be like Jesus

On earth I long to be like Him

All through life’s journey

From earth to Glory

I only ask to be like HIM”

This is an Old hymn taken from our Zion Youth Bible Study Material. Last night while solving some of my Bible Study Lesson, I found out the real meaning of JOY and what’s the purpose of our existing in this world. I just like to share it with you all, Friends.

It is not enough just to be a so-called or just existing Christian. I think that’s the reason Why we sometimes still feel lonely, rejected, depress and left out by God. True Christian are those who follow Jesus everyday. Becoming a Christian is not enough, we must do it. We must have to be busy, busy for God. Sharing, loving, caring for others so that they too can experience the real joy. JOY - in Christian life comes when we have the right priorities:

J - Jesus first

O - Others second

Y - Yourself third

We are created in the image of God Himself and His purpose for us is to be like HIM so that we can dwell with HIM eternally. So, as my Bible Lesson teaches me, I want to  ask  to every Christ Lover, let the purpose of our life be to please and live for Jesus so that we can have a real JOY. God Bless U

“Jesus is the rose of Saron and the lily of the Valley. He is more beautiful than anything. Though I am small but God choose me just as I am to be with HIM praising and loving HIM. As the lily among the thorns, so is my love among the daughters. As the Apple tree among the tree of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under His shadow with a great delight and His fruit was sweet to my taste. He fills my heart with joy and when I am with HIM peace sorrounded me. He bought me to the banqueting house and his banner over me was love. Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apple, for I am sick of HIS love. His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embrace me. He is my all in all and I love to be under His arms. Thankyou Jesus for your love, grace and peace”.
