Knowing Jesus Christ

 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...

  Vision is the driving wheel for every successful individual, Nation, or company. Everyone who wants to excel must have a vision of what he/she wants to achieve at the end of a given time period. What is the vision? It actually what you can see coming to pass. The bible is very clear on the vision and it states that where there is no vision people will perish. Pro 29:18  Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.    You can have time and resources that you require in life but without vision, all that you have will be like nothing. In the book of Habakkuk, the Lord tells us to actually write down our vision so as to guide us in what we do. Hab 2:2  And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.  Hab 2:3  For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end, it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will s...

 Did you know that there are different spirits in the world that are not from God? The bible teaches us that we need to test every spirit and know which is from God and that which is of the world. Any spirit that denies Jesus Christ is of the world but that which accepts Jesus Christ is from God. John in his first letter tells us the two types of spirits;                          1Jn 4:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.  1Jn 4:2  Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ comes in the flesh is of God:  1Jn 4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.  1Jn 4:4  Y...

 Do you have a friend?   Do you know the friend Jesus? Every person tends to have a friend in life and those who lack friends in their lives are considered to be less fortunate in the society or even in the assembly of brethren because the friendship is tagged to a given value or price in life. When people come together to make friends they are aiming at a given objective or goal to achieve. I want us to look unto Jesus Christ as a friend but before that let us learn some types of friends/friendship. We have different kinds or types of friendships in our daily encounters in life as we interact with people. The following are some of just example that we find in the bible: - 1.       Covenantal friends or friendship This is the type where the two or more come together and binds themselves in a covenant of friendship. The aim here is to protect one another from the danger of life and to grant everyone safety. A good example of this from the bible is David...

  A successful Christian believer is he/she whose lifestyle is cultivated in prayer and fasting. Every believer who consistently pray and fast carries much of power. The lifestyle of prayer and fasting gives you power over many things in life.  Examples of  power that prayer and fasting give you include the following: 1.Power to overcome evil one Satan Luk 4:8  And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 2. Power to overcome the flesh Fasting and prayers help you to connect to the Spirit of God, therefore, the flesh becomes overcome  3. Power for deliverance Jesus said that some stubborn demons in our lives do not just go easily but by prayer and fasting Mathew 17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. 4. Power to overcome sin  Through prayers and fasting, you will be able to overcome sin since prayer draws you near to God ...

  Have you realized that when you fail to practise truth there are a lot of regrets that come into your life? Many people, families, and marriages do suffer a lot and get into bondage because of the falsehood that they tend to have. These problems come in times of decision making, choice-making, and many other more actions that we undertake. The foundation you raise in your life will depend on whether it is raised in truth or falsehood. If it is based on falsehood you will have a lot of cries in your life or what we call I wish I knew I could have done so and so. People who lie to get something or some favor or considerations in life do have the worst endings in life. Truth is the way to avoid such issues in life. If you call yourself the son of the Almighty God as it is written in the book of John 1:12 (But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name). Then you must understand that Jesus Christ is the truth, He wa...

  Praise be to God the creator of the heaven and the earth! Our God is wonderful and worthy of all the praise for whom He is. I know you might be asking yourself the question above, you wonder if praise can be a tool for spiritual warfare. Yes, praise is a very powerful tool in times of spiritual warfare.  I believe that you have different tools or weapons that help you during spiritual warfare in your life, some tools or weapons like:- 1 .        The word of God 2.        The blood of Jesus 3.        Worship 4.        Sacrifice 5.        Prayer and fasting The above list can be endless according to the revelation the Lord gives you. But today I want us to learn of Praise as the tool or weapon that can help you during spiritual warfare. In the Book of Joshua Chapter 6 the bible talks of Jericho being shut that no one could get in...
