Being a Christian - Day 0 - Introduction

"....having the same mindset as Christ..." - Philippians 2:5

This week we will be talking about BEING A CHRISTIAN.


A Christian is a heir of God. Psalms 82:6 says "You are heirs of God and children of The Most High" We have the same mindset as Christ! What fascinating things can we do with God in us? Remember when God created the world? He commanded the light to form out of darkness, he commanded that animals of the sea and land should come onto the earth. Genesis 1:27 says "And He made them in the likeness of His own image" This means we function like Him, move like Him and talk like Him. When the demons see us they flee! James 4:7 says "Resist the Devil and he will flee from you" Why does the Devil flee? Because he has God in us! Spiritually we are gods! Not the type that need to be worshipped! We are of the Spirit of God!"Ye are gods..." (Psalms 82:6 KJV) What do demons know? Do they know that there is one God? Why do they flee? "Even demons believe there is a God and when they hear of it they tremble and shudder" (James 2:19) We are Heirs of God! We have the same authority! Luke 10:19 says "I have given you authority to stamp on these spiritual snakes and scorpions, and they shall never harm you"  Wow! We do not deserve this. We have sinned. 1 sin is too many to get into heaven, but guess what? 'What?' Jesus paid the price!

The Power In The Name

"There is none like God...who rides through Heaven to your help, through the skies in His majesty" - Deuteronomy 33:26  Many of us expect an answer when we pray - immediately. We try to control God  thinking we know best, when God does. But if the Holy Spirit lives in us, patience live in us too, because it is of the Spirit (Gal  5:22 ). We have everything we ever need or ever will need - the only thing you have to do is activate it. The power in the name of Jesus, as soon as you activate it, is ready and available to use. Anyone can say Jesus, but they can't use its power because it's either:  A) not given to them or  B) they don't believe.  What can I do to activate the power?  To activate this power, you need faith and full relying on God. No matter what, even in temptation. You see, a Christian's life is one with more temptation. But that's good - because:  A) We overcome them all!  B) It's when we show and display J...

The Godly Godliness

1 Timothy 4:7 -  7  Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales;  rather, train yourself to be godly.  The godliness Paul is talking about here means piety to God, a revered holiness. What do I mean? Well, on what we do we should have a holiness for him. Our clothing, people should be able to say 'this is a real Christian'. Our behaviour should also have a holiness. A fear of God. As the Bible says, the fear of God gives life. This holiness is about the things you do, how you respond to God and to the things of God. Our character influences the way we live and what we do-it's the way people determine who you are, for it is always the inner man the speaks out. They are books and magazines you shouldn't read, things you shouldn't watch and games you shouldn't play. The excuse 'it's Christian' won't work this time! Watch with your children - make sure you are sure of what they watch. Never forget who you are in Christ: His own, o...

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!
