DAILY VITAMIN - Our Fellowship Is Eternal “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever.” (John 14:16) God promises a union with Him forever. In fact, if you took away the forever part, it loses its essence. Even Jesus told us that He will come to take us that we might be with Him forever (John 14:2-3). And in John 13:1, He made it known that He loves His disciples to the end. You see, this “end” stands for ‘ eternally ’, and not just ‘ permanently ’. Let me explain what I mean by that. The word Permanent is an understatement for His intention towards us. The things that God does in our earthly life are termed to be permanent, but what He desires to do with us are termed eternal in scripture. This is because the term permanence is sometimes used within the closure of time, and thus ceases when a person dies. For instance, if I told you all American Presidents have permanent access to the White House, it would only be

DAILY VITAMIN - God Will Forgive You “And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.” (Luke 17:4) Matthew 18:22 admonishes us to forgive one another as much as seventy times seven a day. That’s enough forgiveness for one day, right? But it’s proof that God doesn’t withhold His desire for forgiveness. In Ephesians 4:32, He tells us again to forgive one another with tenderheartedness even as He forgave us in Christ Jesus. And when we do this, we show we are His. However, that’s not what I’m trying to show you here. First of all, whatever God tells us to emulate is something He does Himself. So, when He tells us to forgive without count, He is also saying He will forgive us without count. You see, when we sin against the Lord, He makes forgiveness available; all we have to do is return, and He promises to never cast us away (John 6:38). The only sin that can separate us from Him is bl

DAILY VITAMIN - Knowing The Holy Spirit (2) “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.” (2 Corinthians 13:14) Through the Holy Spirit we can constantly move from ‘where the Lord used to be’ to ‘where He is’. That was what He did with the apostles, who used to refer to Christ in the past tense, at least not until the Spirit came to them and revealed Christ in them in the ever continuous present tense. Just like that, He keeps us fresh in the glories of the presence of God; even as we continually bask in the awesome realities of the Godhead He leads us to experience. That’s what the theme scripture says; by the fellowship of the Spirit with us now, we can fully understand and experience the grace of Christ and the love of God continually. Remember, He is called the Spirit of Christ as well as the Spirit of God because they are One Triune Being; and so there’s no better way to know the Father and Son bett
