Knowing Jesus Christ

 Many of the times have you ever asked yourself why God will always deliver us from any affliction or bondage? I believe that we will have different answers one to another, but let us read from the book of Exodus in the Bible when God was sending Moses to set free the children of Israel from the captivity of the Egyptians.  (Exo 3:7)  And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; (Exo 3:8)  And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. (Exo 3:9)  Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress th...

 In life a times things happen that lower our standards as we live and serve God. The standard of a Person can be lowered spiritually or physically in the following ways:- a.        Injustices and unrighteousness b.       Walking in darkness c.        Stumbling in life d.       Backsliding e.        Sinful life f.         Transgression g.       Unfruitfulness When the standards are lowered the enemy takes advantage to oppress the Christians and make their lives miserable and barren. But when God sees the way the people are oppressed He releases His Spirit among His people to raise the standard in them to fight against every power of darkness that brings oppression. After lifting a standard to fight for His People He makes a new covenant with His people to establish them in His righteou...

 Jesus said that you must pray to overcome the temptation of your life, this means when you do not pray temptation will overtake you and you find yourself in sin. When every time you live a life that is overtaken by sin and temptation then it could mean that you are under the influence of the backsliding spirit. We must resist the spirit of backsliding in our lives and we must live Jesus Christ. Our works should be the works of the Spirit of God not of the world. In the book of Revelation Jesus says to us that he knows the works that we are neither cold nor hot.  Rev 3:15  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou were cold or hot.  Rev 3:16  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. we must overcome this because Jesus overcame on the cross for us and he said that all things are finished. We have victory granted to us by Lord Jesus. My brother and sister, we must prevail over this sin....

  Praise the Lord beloved of God, Our God is great, mighty, and worthy of all the glory and honor. Today I desire that we get the word of God concerning the subject above; Grace and righteousness. We must understand what grace is and also what righteousness is. Grace is built on God’s love and it is the undeserved favor that God gives to us out of His love without doing anything. In the book of Titus chapter 3 Paul talks of how we received the grace of God.   Tit 3:1  Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,  Tit 3:2   To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men.  Tit 3:3   For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.  Tit 3:4   But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward ...

 What is the longing of your heart? Where do you desire to be after the life of this world? I know these questions ring in your mind too. As you are working very hard serving God you have some hope just like Apostle Paul said that the hope of his life is to receive an uninterruptible crown that is not given by men but by the Lord Jesus Christ (1Co 9:25  And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. ). I believe we all hope for the crown but just as Paul we must serve labor on this earth serving God and preaching the good tidings which is the gospel or the Goodnews from the Lord Jesus Christ. That hope and longing is godly but it matters the land where you are. The place we long to be with the Lord after this world is Zion the city of the Lord that is full of righteousness of God but we live in a foreign land that is compared to Babylon the rejected land that is full of immora...

  I want you to have a deep thought about your life and all the things you have received from the Lord and analyze your behavior before and after you received the things from God. The reason for that is to help you understand whether your fellowship with God is intact or not. At the time when we need something from God we seem to be too close and we devote ourselves to pray and serve God but it is very unfortunate that after receiving a blessing from the Lord we tend to forget God. There are things that we have received from God by His divine will and there are things that we have received by asking as the bible says that ask and you shall be given, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened to you, ( Mat 7:7  Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:  Mat 7:8  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.) Some of us wer...
