Jacob's Wrestle

Praise Jesus!! Finally, my pc has been finally restored to its fullest potential. Had been working on my pc since late last night to reformat the entire pc. Installation was a total breeze and there had been no hindrances during the installation. Cool!! I used to take more than 1 week to complete the task and last night, Jesus was simply there to help me with all the necessary knowledge that I need.

Well, I went out with my usual gang of Godly friends and a new friend too. I was enjoying myself throughout the entire evening. One of my close friends raised up a question about Jacob having to wrestle with God for his blessings (Genesis 32:28 onwards). Another similar verse which I found while searching in my other bible versions was Hosea 12:3-4. Ok.. The question now is how come Jacob got to wrestle for his blessings?

Today, my close friend and I were thinking along the same path.. That is, the passage here indicates 2 things..
1. It indicates a similarity that now, we know that we are already blessed but not the blessing has yet to be manifested, we all sorta like must never give up the fight to claim our blessings.
2. While I was meditating Hosea, it dawned on me that hey.. the verse was talking about Jacob. The old Israel, the Old Covenant. Right now, all of us are in the New Covenant and that means one thing! We don't have to fight or wrestle with Daddy God for the blessings in our lives coz we already have them! We have the Blood-bought rights to claim our blessings and we don't have to fight! Fighting here is clearly indicative to self-effort. Jesus had already given His blessings to us. From the moment in the Garden where He became sorrowful even to death, to the moment He breathe His last on the cross. The divine exchange there had already taken place.

Hallelujah! Praise be to Jesus.. Glory be to Him!! It's pretty interesting.. I believe that there's more to the 2 things which I was thinking. Would be even glad if anyone has different viewpoint to state. Whatever it is, I'm starting to see more and more of Jesus in the Old Testament and His Love for me and everyone in the New Testament.

Jesus!! You are truly the Lord of my life. I have nothing to give but to sing of praises to You in this blog and in my life. I love You, Jesus coz You have sacrificed all things, just for my sake. It's not my love for You.. It's Your Love for me.. You have always been inside my heart to teach me all things and there's no other gods like You who is willing to do everything for me..

Today, my close friend showed me a tablet in a Christian shop in Great World City. The words are so simple, yet so powerful.. It says.. Faith is not just believing that God can. It is what God will do.. Amazing, isn't it?? It's not only just by believing that God can.. It is what God will do for everyone of us who are in Christ! The loveliness of our Father and Jesus is simply irreplaceable.

Okie.. that's all for the day.. Time for rest so that can receive more from Daddy God. All praises be to Jesus for He is GREAT!!! Brain a bit stunned today coz of sleep debt.. Snooze!! I'm in my beautiful dream land now..
