CHRISTIANITY DEMANDS ABSOLUTE FOCUS ON GOD – 2 Peter

focus

Christians Must Remain Focused In Their Religious Acts

Passage: 2 Peter 1

Christians are called to live uprightly with God and shun pretense. Many struggle with so many things, while being weighed down by life’s trials.

If you would just focus on God, you would understand that these are just so little compared to the Almighty God we serve.

All He wants is that you make Him your point of focus and rely solely on Him. We must keep a genuine relationship with Him at all times. The scripture stated,

“But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love…

…For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:5-8).

brotherly kindness

God’s Blessings For Focused Christians Are Unlimited

Believers must have focus and cautiously practice their faith to remain worthy of God’s benefits.

The Creator reserves his eternal benefits for those who portray godly virtues.

The virtues that we must display include, but are not limited to self-control, perseverance, kindness, and love. Christians must be loyal to God and represent him well on earth.

Our practices must promote God’s name and bear good fruits of his kingdom.

Anyone who represents God well on earth with his or her godly practices will receive his blessing beyond human imaginations.

In a world filled with different vices that bring worldly pleasure, being upright and steadfast in God may be difficult. However, Christ makes things easy for us. Seeking help from Him and making a conscious effort will go a long way.

THE GOSPEL IS MEANT FOR EVERYONE – Psalm

gospel

All Christians Must Preach The Gospel So It Can Get To All Corners Of The World

Passage: Psalm 71

Christians have been given the mandate to proclaim the faithfulness of God to the ends of the earth.

Jesus told us to go into the world and preach the gospel to all creations, to make disciples of all nations.

He wants the good news of the kingdom to be proclaimed throughout the world, as a testimony to all the nations.

We must acknowledge the supreme power of God as one of the psalmists committed to doing in the Bible. He stated,

“I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of your righteousness, of yours only. O God, You have taught me from my youth; and to this day I declare your wondrous works…

…Now also when I am old and gray-headed, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come” (Psalm 71:16-18).

Gospel Evangelization Step By Step Process

Every Christian has the primary assignment to proclaim and promote the gospel of Jesus Christ to all people.

Believers must spread the good news of Jesus Christ with the use of any medium available.

We must effectively preach Christ’s gospel to the extent that unbelievers will be convinced to change their minds and serve God.

Proclaiming faith in Christ is not a difficult task to perform.

Each Christian is to share his or her faith in any straightforward manner he could.

A believer can start with his or her family, before proceeding to extend the effort to other people.

A Christian who faithfully serves God will be honored in the presence of God in heaven.

Promoting the gospel is one of the major reasons we were created on earth. The message of Christ is meant to save all of mankind and God needs us to do that. We can help save everyone by preaching God’s gospel. Be a part of God’s team today!

EVIL DOCTRINE INCURS GOD’S WRATH – 1 Kings

doctrine

Understand The Difference Between Right & Wrong Doctrines

Passage: 1 Kings 13

A human being is born with a conscience and an innate sense of right and wrong. As Christians, we must be able to discern between good and bad doctrine.

Children of God must know when to flee so that we don’t fall into temptation.

Children of God must not believe every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God or not.

Many false doctrines are out there in the world; Christians must be watchful of them!

During the Bible time, the Land of Israel that once operated as one nation during Solomon’s rule disintegrated into two nations of sinners.

They chose not to give God his deserved attention.

The people of Israel and Judah (the two new nations) operated wickedly. They turned to idol worships – a practice that God forbade.

The scripture reported,

“Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but again, he made priests from every class of people in the high places; whoever wished, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places” (1 Kings 13:33)…

…Also, “Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they provoked Him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, more than all that their fathers had done” (1 Kings 14:22).

consequence

People Who Promote Wrong Doctrine Will Be The Consequence

God will punish a leader who distracts the attention of God’s people (from their commitment to serving the true God).

A leader of any capacity is expected to have the fear of God and be considerate. He or she ought to promote the doctrine that honors God.

Leaders should neither be obsessed nor self-serving; rather, they should utilize their influence to benefit people. They should also encourage the people they lead to be godly in their practices.

It is the responsibility of the followers to evaluate any instruction they receive and ensure it complies with the laws of God.

Both the leaders and followers of any country and/or establishment are mandated to satisfy God in whatever they do.

God will not entertain an excuse that anyone uses to justify an act of wickedness.

A lot of people have been misled and made to look away from God’s doctrine. It’s important that we ask for the grace to decipher the difference between right and wrong. Christian Leaders must be consistent with their teachings also.

Pray For Divine Grace To Shun Evil Doctrine But Serve God

Dear God, please help me to manage my position in a fashion that will glorify you. Help me to care for people and have your fear in my heart.

Let me lead by example, and let me motivate people to behave well and please you in their endeavors.

Do not let me be carried away with any honor that is associated with my position and sin against you. Help me to serve you well.

Let my leadership style benefit everyone under my command. For in the name of Jesus Christ, I make my requests. Amen.

THE REFLECTION OF GOD’S LOVE FOR THE JEWS – Romans

jews

The Jews Who Accept and Confess Jesus Will Be Saved

Passage: Romans 11

Jews who have refused to confess Jesus Christ as their messiah will still do so someday. They will have salvation opportunity and be saved. (The Bible states that whosoever confesses Jesus Christ as Lord will be saved.)

The Jews’ initial rejection of Jesus Christ as the true messiah has given the salvation opportunity for the unbelievers. The Jews’ hostility has also contributed to the expansion of the gospel. They persecuted the early Christians and forced many of them to escape from Jerusalem and other cities.

Many of the persecuted Christians went far beyond their homeland to preach the gospel of Jesus to the gentiles.

The non-Jews have received the opportunity to hear the gospel and hear more about God. Indeed gospel evangelization to the unreached world has led to the salvation of many souls!

Meanwhile, the Jews who have warred against Christian faith will receive the opportunity of salvation. They will see the light of God; confess Jesus as Lord, and be saved.

Paul, a born-Jew converted to Christianity, stated,

“If by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? For if the first fruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches…

…And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you…

…You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.” Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either” (Romans 11: 14-21).

Acceptance Of Jesus Christ Is The Criteria To Make Heaven

God loves the Jews; he raised them from a few people and turned them into a great nation. However, the Jews are not only God’s children, but Christians are his children also.

Both the Jews and Christians are like branches of the same tree grafted to God. However, the Jews cannot survive in isolation, they need the salvation of Jesus Christ to properly offer acceptable service to God.

The scripture stated that God would not give up on Israel, but he would enlighten their mind to accept Jesus Christ as the true Messiah of God (Yeshua Ha-Mashiach).

With faith in Jesus Christ, both Jews and Christians will partake in the Lord’s Passover in heaven.

Hence, since Jesus Christ is so important to salvation, everyone, Jews and non-Jews should consider it necessary to believe in him.

God can turn a bad situation into a beneficial one. Faith in God helps us reach greater heights and attain more blessings. Believe in God and watch every aspect of your life experiencing growth.

Pray For The Non-Believers & the Jews

Dear God, I pray for Jews and all people who have not believed Jesus Christ as the true Messiah to do so. Please enlighten their minds to understand the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made on their behalf. Let them understand that Jesus Christ died and resurrected to give them eternal life so that they can inherit your kingdom. For in the name of Jesus Christ, I make my requests. Amen.

GOD BLESSES HIS DEVOTED CHILDREN ABUNDANTLY – Job

devoted

God’s Blessing Are Upon Those Who Are Devoted To Him

Passage: Job 1

Job (in the bible) was a rich man that could be referred to as a billionaire of his time. The man disallowed riches to blindfold him. He was devoted in his service to God. Even in the face of adversity, he was fervent in serving God.

The Bible described Job as a faithful man who loved God wholeheartedly and served him with the best of his ability.

The Bible made the following declaration about Job:

“There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil. And seven sons and three daughters were born to him.

…Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the East.

…And his sons would go and feast in their houses, each on his appointed day, and would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all.

…For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did regularly” (Job 1:1-5).

humility

It Takes Humility To Serve God In Wealth

Children of God can be rich and still serve God devotedly. We can follow the story of Job, as an example (Job 1:1-5) who served God faithfully with his riches.

Moreover, it takes humility for someone to faithfully serve God with riches. The person must place God above his own personal interests.

In other words, a Christian who desires riches ought to first question himself or herself on the subject of trust.

He ought to be able to ask, “Can God, trust me if I am rich?” God will surely bless anyone who is determined to serve him with a devoted heart.

 We have all seen and come across the verse that says it’s easier for a camel to pass the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven. This solely depends on humility. Don’t let wealth get into your head. Pray for control against such spirit. 🏆🙋‍♂️💝

…Help me to serve you with a pure heart so that I can have the opportunity to enjoy your riches for a long time. For in the name of Jesus Christ, I make my requests. Amen.

GOD OF POSSIBILITY MAKES ALL THINGS PERFECT – Ezekiel

possibility

Power of Possibility Lies with God

Passage: Ezekiel 37

Jehovah is a God of possibility. He can do all things, and he will make dry bones come to life for his children.

Yes, dry bones shall rise again for God’s children.

God spoke to Prophet Ezekiel and said that the Israelites (who have lost their godly virtues and were dead in their spiritual lives) shall be restored to have a good standing with him.

Ezekiel recounted his experience with God,

“And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O Lord God, You know.” Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin, and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.”

So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.

Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”’

” So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army” (Ezekiel 37:3-10).

possible

God Is An Everlasting Guardian

God is a God of possibility. He makes dry bones come to life for his children that trust him.

People of faith may experience temporal trials, but they will be relieved and have victory.

God’s children will be delivered from their troubles to praise God.

Indeed, Jehovah will rise like a mighty warrior to defend the interest of his people. He will help them overcome their limitations.

Dry bones may represent various kinds of problems that God’s children experience.

They may be spiritual dryness, unfavorable medical report, or any other negative condition.

Those conditions that seem impossible will submit to the God of all possibilities.

The Creator will deliver his children from their terrible situations.

He will give His angels charge to watch over them as the scripture states,

“The angel of the Lord encamp all around those who fear Him, and delivers them” (Psalm 34:7).

God does not want us to endure any suffering. He sent his Son to die and suffer for our sake. Even when sin makes us susceptible to suffering, He accepts us after we ask for forgiveness. Have faith in God and watch all your trials supernaturally disappear. 🎏🙌✌️
