ENDURE THE FAITH; EVIL WON’T LAST – Revelation

evil

Hold The Fortress; Help Is On The Way

(Passage: Revelation 19)

Endure the fight if you are being persecuted for your faith. It is not unusual for Christians to face opposition; since they belong to God, Satan and his evil agents will get irritated and react.

Jesus Christ encouraged his followers to preserve their faith. They should set their eyes on things above (God). 

Your eternal reward will be abundant if you are steadfast in the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Believers in Jesus Christ should endure the faith. The fact that Jesus has said they will overcome should be enough motivation to keep them going. 

God has promised his saints that he would wipe tears from their faces and reward them with the crown of glory in His kingdom if they can endure till the end. (Revelation 21:4.)

The assurance that believers have is that God does not fail his promises. Whatever he says, he will do. 

The scripture stated;

“Then a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!” And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready” (Revelation 19:5-7).

Who Are The Opposition?

People who oppose the gospel and persecute believers are antichrists. Some in this category don’t even know the implication of their actions. To them, everything is normal, but to God, they are evil people that will share hellfire with the devil as their final home. 

(Meanwhile, God will forgive anyone who reverses course and stop persecuting Christians.)

Evil Doers Will Face The Wrath Of God

Those who engage in all kinds of evil and those who persecute believers in Jesus Christ will not go unpunished on the Lord’s last day of judgment. 

Evildoers should have the understanding that they are Satanic agents. They work for Satan. They satisfy his desires. 

How can evil people go scotfree from God, who knows and sees all things?

God will catch up with evildoers. Their strength will diminish, and their influences will fade. Moreso, they will face the consequence of their actions on God’s day of judgment.

Are you one of those people that persecute Christians? Think twice and change courses because God is watching. He will repay you!

Believers in Christ should remain hopeful. Know that the Lord your God is with you! God will neither leave nor forsake his children who remain steadfast in the faith.

How can evil people go scotfree from God, who knows and sees all things? #evilpeople

God Empowers His Children to Overcome Evil

Rely on the power of God to overcome your challenges. 

As a child of God, you are to set your eyes on the things above. Let the joy of the Lord be your strength. Draw your strength from the Holy Spirit since Christ has given Him to us for comfort, courage, and strength.

Christ said to his followers, 

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

Pray For God’s Strength to Keep Going and Overcome Evil

Dear God, I thank you for saving my soul. I thank you for making me your child. I am praying that you please keep me as your child forever. 

Please, help me to overcome the evil of the enemy. Let your Holy Spirit empower me to set my eyes on things above only. 

Please, silence my enemies. Let the testimony of my salvation remain intact until the end so that I can receive your eternal reward in heaven.

For in the name of Jesus Christ, I make my requests. Amen.

NO SEGREGATION IN CHRISTIANITY – Acts

segregation

Christianity Appreciates Love and Care, No Segregation!

(Passage: Acts)

Christian faith replicates the love of God for humanity. People who practice the faith should connect with others in mutual love. Believers must love each other and steer clear of anything that can be perceived as segregation.

While on earth, Jesus Christ did everything to promote the unity of his disciples. He even prayed for them to love and appreciate one another. This means anyone who looks the other way on this topic (of Love without segregation) is a hypocrite.

A child of God who segregates others does not resemble Jesus; he resembles Satan. So yeah, Satan instigates segregation and promotes hatred.

Jesus charged the believers, “Love others as you love yourself.”

Do not lightly esteem others but place them in high importance as you would expect others to do to you.

So, if love and appreciation of others are the teachings of Jesus, where did some believers learn how to segregate? The truth should not be far-fetched, they learned that from Satan! Satan instigates segregation and hatred, whosoever exemplifies such trait emulates Satan!

True Christianity promotes unity, but not only must that be practiced among believers, but the same arms of love should also be extended to unbelievers. Believers are sent to show love to the unbelievers so that they also can be saved.

Are you a Christian? If yes, know what God requires of you: Love, justice, and an active exercise of celebrating other people. 

Click to tweet

Love, unity, and accommodation of others are the bedrock of Christianity.

Believers have the task to actively love and engage others.

The call to love others can sometimes be challenging; even some early Christians struggled with it, but they got through.

Humility Helps Us Respond To Correction.

You may think that early Christians were perfect, but they were not. Some of them struggled to love those who didn’t share their common background. Perhaps the difference between them (early Christian) and us is that they were more teachable. They responded to correction well.

The Challenge Of Segregation Among Early Christians

As it occurred during the early stage of Christianity, some believers thought they were better than those who didn’t hail from Jewish tradition.

Yeah, that’s how it happens: Folks who segregate are often trapped in the ideology that people who don’t share their church doctrine and preferred tradition are lesser Christians. Fallacy!

(No Christian is better than others. All Christians share equal right with God)

Believers with wrong orientation misconceive Faith as if it can only satisfy God with human tradition. What a mistake, there is no partition in Christianity.

If you’re a Christian and you segregate others, you are making your own rule against God’s will!

Some early Christians who converted from Judaism held to Jewish tradition and expected everyone to come on board. They presumed that a person should hail from Judaism to become a “good Christian.” Foul! God does not segregate.

The conflict of tradition was so pronounced among the early Christians to the extent that unbelievers found it hard to come to the faith. But God so good, Peter broke the shell when he shared the testimony of his encounter with the non-Jewish Christians (which the hypocrites have qualified as gentiles).

This is the Bible’s account of the incident,

“The apostles and brethren who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision contended with him, saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!” (Acts 11:1-3). Peter responded, “If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?” When they (Jewish Christians) Heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life” (Acts 11:17-18).

God expects his children to accommodate others and also gently bring them to the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Segregation In Christianity Is Sin

Don’t make a mistake; any Christian who segregates others is sinning against God. Likewise, anyone – whether a Christian or not – who segregates or prevents others from coming to the faith is acting against God’s will.

Christianity is for all!

The Spirit of God that operates in believers’ lives does not permit segregation.

Christians must remain inclined with God’s primary objective, which is to bring everyone into the marvelous love of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ suffered and died for all people; no one should be possessive of his (or her) faith and restrict others to receive what Jesus died for and gave freely.

Faith Sharing Is Important In Christianity

The fundamental principle of Christianity is faith-sharing, which is gospel evangelization.

Believers must go beyond our boundaries to share the good news of Jesus Christ to others so that they can come to the faith and be saved.

Children of God must understand that it is our responsibility to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to other people effectively.

Anyone who aligns with Christianity must understand the faith is not just a religion but a force to de-populate Satan’s kingdom and populate God’s kingdom at the same time.

Every Chrisitan must make a significant effort to preach the gospel to people of different races, tongues, nations, cultures, and backgrounds.

There is no limit to the gospel. God will bless the individuals who venture to step out of their jurisdiction to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to other people.

The fact that there are several churches globally doesn’t mean Christianity shouldn’t be spread further. We still have a lot to do. #christianity #christians #fact #praise

Pray For The Expansion of Gospel Throughout The World

Dear Jesus Christ, please help me be your true ambassador on earth to preach your gospel to other people effectively. Do not let me be an obstacle to gospel evangelization, but help me to support it to spread further.

Please let the brethren come into the common love of celebrating each other and promoting your gospel!

I also pray for your ministers that spread your gospel throughout the world, please anoint and empower them in their efforts. Give them the grace to freely share your good news and lead people (globally) to the love of Jesus Christ.

Please, Lord, let your power destroy every opposition to gospel expansion! For in the name of Jesus Christ, I have prayed. Amen.

Remember: No Segregation In Christianity

Never divide Christianity, because we serve the same God. We owe common love to one another, and we also owe the responsibility to promote the faith to outsiders. #promote #samegod #lovediary #divide

GOD DOES NOT REWARD FALSE CHARITY – Matthew

charity

Honest Charity Deserves Good Reward

It is good to be good! When we act in good faith, people are blessed, and God is glorified.

No doubt that God sees our charity efforts. He is surely keeping the record, and he will reward them in due time.

God and his angels rejoice when someone goes out of his way to bless his fellow human being, but not only are heavenly hosts celebrating the good deed, but God keeps the record; he will hands down his good reward for the effort.

Since an act of charity is honorable in the sight of the Lord, Christians are encouraged to engage in it.

Charity Worker, Check Your Motive

Not all charity works are visible to others, but some can’t really be kept secret from the public eyes. In such a situation, people may acknowledge and shower praises on the worker. However, the charity worker must take caution and not get carried away with the praises he receives.

A person who does a thing to receive human praise has gotten all he deserves. He may not necessarily receive God’s reward afterward since he’s all out seeking human’s approval and praises.

Seek God’s Endorsement, not a human endorsement! #endorse

Click to tweet

As children of God, our efforts must not focus on receiving human’s praises but must focus on glorifying God.

When selfishness is not the driving motive, the result of our efforts will be so praise-worthy in the presence of God.

Meanwhile, besides any human’s praises and acknowledgment, God knows how best to reward our righteous services that focus on helping humanity and glorifying the name of God.

God will reciprocate our true efforts with riches and glory in his kingdom. He will also bless us on earth.

“Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you; they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly. (Matthew 6:2-4).

God’s Reward Awaits Your True Services

God is an honest deity; he also respects people who share the same attribute. True worshipers score a high mark with God, but people’s pleasers won’t go far!

As a child of God, you should evaluate your motive in any matter.

Ask yourself, “Why am I doing what I’m doing: Am I doing it to receive human’s praises, or I’m doing it to receive God’s praises?”

Self-seeking praise may go well with humans, but it doesn’t go well with God. Let your efforts be motivated by love; let your action glorify God! 

Allow God to Guide Your Actions

  • Human flesh is in enmity with God – Flesh will encourage you to go in the way of human satisfaction, which means you will have to seek human praises to meet the demand.
  • The flesh will motivate you to parade your charity, but the Holy Spirit of God can help you overcome that challenge.
  • Those who are led by the Spirit are the children of God! Ask God to give you the strength and power not to be selfish nor seek human glory.
  • Let the Lord guide your heart to make the decision that honors him.

The Creator expects his children to give him honest services without getting obsessed with the praises of men.

Also, a child of God should not practice false humility to win men’s approval. That is, 

say “Thank you!” when people appreciate your effort, but don’t get carried away.

Remember: Our approval comes from the Lord.

Our practices and services to God and humanity must come from a plain mind. Indeed, God will reciprocate our efforts as we come clean and carry our honest services to bless humanity (and for the purpose of honoring his name).

God blesses people who promote his kingdom and offer charity genuinely. At the same time, God doesn’t endorse pretense; therefore, let your charity come from a clean mind. #charity #time #mind #promote

Click to tweet

Pray to Focus on God’s Great Reward

Dear God, please help me to offer you my activities with holiness. Let my charity effort please you. Let it be so real to deserve your reward! Please do not let me get caught up with human praises; the focus of my action must be to glorify you at all times. Please help me to be your true ambassador on earth! For in the name of Jesus Christ, I make my requests. Amen.

BE WISE AND PROPERLY USE YOUR TONGUE – James

tongue

Tongue Is Powerful – Use It Cautiously

(Passage: James 3)

The human tongue is powerful. It can be referred to as a make-or-break tool that we carry with us at all times. The tongue is used to compose words, and words are powerful!

“The power of life and death lies in the tongue.” Oh boy, the tongue is powerful!  It can make a huge impact on others.

Watch it: What you say and how you say it can affect someone (whether positively or negatively)!

Children of God are challenged to watch the use of their tongues. We must be cautious to bless and encourage others with this important tool that we have. We must use it to build lives (not to destroy lives).

Use your tongue to help people and use it to glorify God.

The Bible describes the use of a human tongue,

“For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so” (James 3:7-10 NKJV).

Tongue Can Make Or Break Lives

Do not allow your tongue to control you, rather, control your tongue!

To buttress the points earlier mentioned:

  1. Christians must be careful with the use of their tongues since words carry weight to either make or break a life.
  2. Words can discourage and demoralize people.
  3. Use your tongue to encourage others and use it to honor God.
  4. Make a positive impact; be sensitive to use your tongue to teach people about God.

It is important that Christians use our tongues to encourage people to preserve their faith in Jesus Christ so that God can save them and qualify them for heaven as we are.

Jehovah will surely bless people who make him proud with the use of their tongues! He will honor them in this life and in heaven also.

Prayer To Maintain Decency With Tongues Usage

Dear God, please give me the grace to adequately utilize my tongue to bless people so that your name can be glorified. Help me to not abuse your grace of free speech that I have…

…Do not let me tear other people down with my tongue, but let my words be full of grace to bless them! Please let your blessing pursue me as I desire to satisfy you every day of my life. For in the name of Jesus Christ I make my requests. Amen.

Remember: Be Wise And Properly Use Your Tongue

ENEMY WILL PRY ON YOUR SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY – Luke

sensitive

Christians Must Be Sensitive To Discern The Evil Ones Always

(Passage: Luke 20)

Children of God must be prayerful and watchful. We must not allow the enemy to use any subtle approach to take our advantage. Jesus Christ, the Son of God did not yield his ground to the enemies of his time, neither must we yield to the enemies of our time also.

The Pharisees and Sadducees paraded Jesus Christ and sought every opportunity to trap him in word and action; Christ stood his ground. He largely ignored their harassment while he remained sensitive. He was not blindsided to their plots, and he had a ready-made answer whenever they crossed their line.

Jesus was sensitive; he recognized the presence of his enemies, and he put them in the right place! For example, when the Pharisees asked a tricky question about the resurrection, Jesus referred them to the scripture that they claim to honor. The enemies were dumbfounded at his approach (Luke 20:27-39).

Being aware of the enemies’ intention, Christ warned his disciples to also be watchful of the hypocrites who would be envious of their success and seek their downfall. Jesus said,

“Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation” (Luke 20:46-47).

Christians Must Be Vigilant And Sensitive

We Christians are God’s children, and we are lights surrounded by those who celebrate the works of darkness; therefore, we must be careful!

Our practices and godly lifestyles often irritate worldly people; they will react and attempt anything to satisfy their evil desires.

Besides the external enemies, believers must also be watchful of the subtle enemies such as carelessness and convenient sin. In addition to that, Christians must be careful of pride and self-praise. Most importantly, we must remain heavenly worthy.

Christ warned the Christians to be prayerful and watchful. These two mandates will help us win any battle of life. Stick with God’s principles – Watch and pray! #christianity #battle #beprayerful #winthebattle

Pray For Spiritual Sensitivity

Dear God, please help me to be wise and be sensitive so that I won’t fall for the desire of the wicked ones. Please help me to stay strong in faith and do not allow sin to rule over me. Inspire and empower me by the Holy Ghost so that I can remain heavenly worthy. For in the name of Jesus Christ, I have prayed. Amen.

TRUE LOVE IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF CHRISTIANITY – 1 Peter

true love

Christians Must Promote True Love Throughout The World

(Passage: 1 Peter 5)

Every Christian is expected to promote the true love that honors God. Believers must care for each other dearly as Christ has cared and died for the Church.

The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ symbolize the true love of Christ (unconditional love). Before he ascended to heaven, Christ charged his disciples with the prime commandment: “Have true love one another.”

The “Love commandment” of Christ has no exemption. As he loved the church to the extent of dying for it, so we must love God and have true love for others. Doing so will attract unbelievers and motivate them to become followers of Jesus Christ as well.

Jesus’ call for true love was reiterated by Peter as written in the scripture,

“Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time” (1 Peter 5:5-6).

Put Effort Into Loving Others; Expects Rewards.

Children of God are called to truly love and promote unity in the fold of Christ.

To meet this mandate, believers must be honest with one another.

God expects us to be our brothers’ keepers. We must seek the welfare of other brethren. No Christian should be self-centered and neglect others. We must be mindful of other people’s needs.

Only true love reigns! Imagine, how can someone refers to himself as a good Christian when he (or she) hates his fellow Christians? Also, should any Christian seeks the downfall of others and expects God to applaud him? Will God be satisfied when any acclaimed Christian abuses his brothers and sisters in Christ? God forbid!

Let’s Examine Christ’s Principle on the Call for True Love

Jesus Christ was firm and was consistent with his teaching that asks believers to share true love and support each other. In his teaching, Christ emphasized he would reject hypocritical Christians on the last day.

Jesus who calls believers into a true love of God (and to truly love others) stated he will not open the gate of his kingdom to people who fail to practice true love. Only the people with unbiased love will have a place in God’s kingdom. (Matthew 25:41-46).

The Call to Action

  • Anyone who claims to be a true child of God must be honest in his practices. He must meet the holiness standard of God at all costs!
  • A Christian who is in love with God must share the good news of his faith with others so that they can also have the opportunity to be saved.

A true Christian is expected to understand that Christ came to save the world; therefore, the mandate to share the gospel with others must weigh heavily on his mind.

(Preach Christ to others so that they can have the opportunity to escape punishment from hellfire.)

The greatest mandate that God gave us is “To Love God and Love others.” Love heals wound and saves lives. Spread the gospel of love to others.💯❣️💖

Click to tweet

Pray For Divine Help To Promote Godly Love

Dear Lord, please help me to demonstrate the true love that you require. Help me to have a true love for my fellow Christians. I also pray for the body of Christ to love each other. Help the brethren to practice the true love that you required. Help us to stop segregation, and help us to stop self-righteousness! Give brethren the strength and grace needed to love each other and spread your gospel so that unbelievers can also become saved. In the end, please count us worthy to inherit your kingdom! For in the name of Jesus Christ, I have prayed. Amen!

ESSENTIAL CHRISTIAN-GOD RELATIONSHIP – Revelation

relationship

Building A Stronger Relationship With God

(Passage: Revelation 3)

Every child of God is expected to maintain a distinct relationship with his (or her) Maker.

No sitting on the fence. No one-leg-in and one-leg-out. We are called to devote ourselves to God and give Him our best services at all times.

If we expect God to reward our good services, then we should expect he will do the opposite if we don’t commit to his service fully. Children of God should prioritize the things of God and serve him faithfully.

God said through his word,

“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth…

…Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see…

…As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent” (Revelation 3:15-19).

Blessed Are Those Who Keep Good Relationship With God

God will reward your efforts if you care to be closer to him. With this truth in mind, every child of God ought to examine himself if indeed meeting God’s expectations.

Caution has to be taken, not to mistake religious exercise as true worship. At least, any Christian should understand that his (or her) church title does not equate to true worship.

God will not save us based on personal claims and religious titles. He will examine our hearts and review our thoughts and actions prior to awarding his reward (whether positively or negatively).

How we view God and how we operate in his presence matter a lot. #presence #matter #lot #operate

The Basis of Faith

There is a tendency that people can confuse what matters of faith are. There is a likelihood that someone can imagine he is fit to receive God’s good reward by simply being “good to others.” – Faith matter is much more than that.

Anyone who is worthy of being called a child of God must obtain the salvation of Jesus Christ. He (or she) has to confess Jesus as Lord and declare him as the Son of God. He must accept him as his personal Savior.

Besides the confession of faith in Jesus, a person who’s worthy of being called a child of God must personally read his bible and practice his faith. In addition, he must also complement his faith with pious services to God.

God cannot be fooled. Lip services won’t be enough to convince him.

What are the things expected of a child of God?

  1. Engage in personal bible study
  2. Worship God
  3. Join a local church to worship and render services to God
  4. Spread the word of God to other people
  5. Aspire daily to grow in faith and serve God better

Are you a good Christian?

  1. A good Christian read and understand God’s law and carefully follows them
  2. A good Christian calls God his Father; he calls Jesus his Savior
  3. A good Christian supports good courses and promotes the welfare of others
  4. A good Christian daily seeks God’s face and asks for God’s indwelling Holy Spirit to satisfy God and overcome temptations
  5. A good Christian expects the return of Jesus Christ to rapture the saints to heaven

I love God. I give my heart to Jesus. I declare him as my personal Lord and Savior. #lord #loveu #loveyou #lovegod

Click to tweet

Pray For Forgiveness

Dear God, you surely desire good things from the people that you have called your own! You want Christians to serve you in Spirit and in truth; therefore, I am asking for the grace to meet your expectations. I make my declaration of faith by confessing Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. I am also asking for the grace and power to live up to your standard of holiness. Let my relationship with you be genuine. Let me consistently study your word and put them to practice. Please keep me fit for your kingdom. For in the name of Jesus Christ I have prayed! Amen.

The resurrection victory – What a great privilege we have obtained through the death of Jesus Christ! Jesus paid the ultimate prize on the cross to hand over all the benefits to us at a zero cost.

No one should have an excuse for not taking the full benefits of Jesus’s death and resurrection, but unfortunately, many people are still not tapping into the benefits.

The believers (Those who have believed in Jesus) should not hesitate to utilize the resurrection benefits to their full advantage.

How did we get there? What has Jesus done to bring believers to this junction?

Jesus Christ, innocent but persecuted for his goodwill, persevered all the abuses of the enemies. He suffered for our sins to the point of death.

Christ suffered and used the suffering as a medium to exchange our sins and imperfection for his righteousness. He did all those on the cross through his pain and suffering. Christ did it all for us; as many as will believe in him shall be saved.

Hurray victory at last!

People of faith have the advantage to live freely and happily in this complicated world. What it takes to explore the advantage is a confession of faith in Jesus. That is, anyone who confesses Jesus as Lord will be aided and empowered by the Lord to live a life of an overcomer!

Countless benefits are involved, and besides the priceless salvation to obtained, a person who confesses Jesus as Lord will also have the power to live above the controls of the enemy. Sin and all works of Satan are subject to the power embedded in the confession of faith in Jesus!

Here is our confidence, as stated in the scripture,

“Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries” (1 Peter 4:1-3).

Holy Spirit Constantly Battle Satan For Believers’ Sake

Jesus did what no one else could do, and he obtained what no one else could obtain. He has unbeatable power over Satan! (Say AMEN if you believe). #amen #power #believe #sayamen #obtain

Jesus Christ has engaged in a war against Satan and won victory for his followers; therefore, no child of God should live a defeated life. Satan has lost his battles against us, and now, we must live in victory.

Believers must celebrate victory in God through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

Here are undeniable benefits obtained through Jesus:

  1. Believers have the Holy Spirit of God available to help for all exploits.
  2. We can live a pleasant and pleasurable life in the presence of God.
  3. We can live in holiness and be in tune with heaven always.
  4. The Holy Spirit of God can empower us to love people during difficult times.

 

Holy Spirit energizes us to live victoriously every day of our lives. He (Holy Spirit) also empowers us to bear good fruits for the kingdom of God. Holy Spirit gives us the needed courage to be effective evangelists!

What a victory obtained in Jesus Christ! Indeed, Christians are the most fortunate people on earth. They have a bounty of goodness available at our disposal. They also have plentiful riches waiting for them in heaven.

In stating the obvious, anyone who aspires to live a triumphant life on earth and enjoy heavenly benefits must submit to Jesus Christ and confess him as Lord.

Victory today and victory tomorrow – The shout of victory will always be with those who have confessed their faith in Jesus Christ! Confess your faith in Jesus today to have victory forever! #victorytoday #jesustoday #faithinjesus

FACE PERSECUTION? GOD’S REWARD AWAITS – Revelation

persecution

Endure Persecution For Its Benefit

(Passage: Revelation 11)

Persecuted but not forsaken –  Your reward is in heaven if you remain steadfast in the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ! Children of God are encouraged to reflect on the Bible’s Book of Revelation that mentioned several times that saints will be persecuted during the end time for the sake of their faith in Jesus Christ.

If you are a child of God, your faith will be tested. You must determine not to allow anything to shift your faith in the sight of any opposition.

Unbelievers and those who have released themselves for devil’s use will persecute Christians. Some will be ignorant of their actions, but they will work to satisfy the desire of the enemy.

When talks on “Persecution”: Some believers would lose their lives, but their efforts will not go unnoticed in the presence of the Lord. They will be rewarded!

During the end time, the enemy will appear to be gaining an upper hand, but that won’t last. God, the most powerful one, will seize Satan’s power and stop his evil works.

Those who endure persecution to keep their faith will be rewarded in the end. Christ will rescue his saints – dead and alive.

People who have died for their faith in Jesus Christ will resurrect on the last day to enjoy an everlasting life with God in heaven.

Endure persecution, and be resolute in your faith.

God cares, and he will continue to care for those who remain firm during persecution.

John mentioned how God stopped Satan’s work in the Book of Revelation:

“Then I was given a measuring stick, and I was told, “Go and measure the Temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers. But do not measure the outer courtyard, for it has been turned over to the nations. They will trample the holy city for 42 months” (Revelation 11:1-2).

Persecution Is Not The Lord, But Jesus Is Lord

There are no other means of resisting the temptation than to be closer to God in reading his words and consistently pray. The word of God keeps the love of God afresh in our hearts. Also, we become stronger as we meditate in the word of God on daily basis.

A similar benefit of gaining strength in the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ is to maintain a consistent attitude of prayers. The word of God states, “The prayer of the righteous ones avails much.”

Prayer strengthens our “inner-man”. It also invites the power and presence of God to dominate our lives.

Above all, remember that your faith in Jesus Christ worths more than gold!

Be Steadfast!

If you suffer for the sake of your love and services to God, be expecting that God will reward you back in multiple folds – Both in this life and in heaven also.

Christ, the Savior, will wipe tears from the faces of his children who endure persecution. He will decorate their lives with beauty and honor.

Perhaps, nothing is more important than the fact that God will reward his steadfast children with an imperishable crown of glory in his kingdom!

Steadfast Christians will be honored as God’s princes and princesses in heaven. What a choice prize of steadfastness!

Christians have sworn allegiance to Jesus. They owe loyalty to God to the point of death. Never, never allow anything to affect your steadfast faith and love for God. A great prize awaits in the end! #christianity #christians #loveforgod #tothepoint

Please empower me with your Holy Spirit to remain fit for the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Please keep rapturable! For in the name of my Lord, Jesus Christ, I have prayed. Amen.

STEADFAST CHRISTIANS WITHSTAND MANIPULATION – Philippians

steadfast

Evil May Reign In This World, But God Cares For The Steadfast!

(Passage: Philippians 3; Luke 23)

Temptations are bound to come your way as a child of God, but you must always remember that your steadfastness in God worths more than a million!

Satan is an enemy of righteousness; he will attempt to derail anyone who has determined to serve God. This enemy (Satan), who is bound for God’s punishment in hell, is always willing to take as many people as possible to his final destination (hellfire).

You and I don’t want to follow Satan to hell, so we must ensure to safeguard our salvation obtained in Jesus Christ carefully.

The enemy of God’s people has a history of manipulating anyone willing to give him attention. The bad guy will throw any stone he finds with the hope that one will stick. But, you have the willpower to make a choice not to become Satan’s victim.

Christians can be gravitated in faith and overcome Satan’s manipulation by learning from Jesus Christ. Satan tried everything he knew to make Jesus stumble and fail his mission, but the Son of God did not budge.

Believers must set their eyes on the mark of a higher calling. Just as the Scripture states,

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:12-14)

At the heat of his persecution, Satan prompted Pilate to present Jesus with an option to turn back from his life-saving mission.

No Rock Of Offense, Jesus Is Lord!

The fate of saving humanity through the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus’ life played out, but for the record, Pilate, who presided over his case, found nothing incriminating or deserving of death. He found the opponents’ arguments against Jesus unsubstantiated. But, Pilate still went ahead to satisfy the wish of the enemies.

Pilate engaged the chief priests and said,

“You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him; no, neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by Him” (Luke 23:14-15).

Our Faith In God Should Be Steadfast Always

Know what you stand for as a Christian! As a child of God, you must be steadfast in God. You must not be afraid of Satan.

Children of God – Nothing should make us retreat from our commitments to God; we are required to remain steadfast and keep our faith to the end.

Christians must always remember that Christ has promised to earn us victory over all circumstances of life (John 16:33).

The desires of Satan to make believers stumble is laughable, knowing fully well that he can never win those who are steadfast in God. Jehovah protects his people! #besteadfast #protectpeople #stumble

Please give me the grace and strength to resist any temptation of the enemy. Let your Holy Spirit guide and lead me in all my ways so that I can remain your true child in every day of my life. Anoint me with your grace and prosper my life endeavors. For in the name of Jesus Christ I have prayed. Amen.
