As God Wills...

Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” - Mark 8:34

Confusing,eh? Once you get to know the verse and you are guided by God's Spirit it will start to make sense. When Jesus used the term 'cross' what did He mean? When Jesus said cross He meant responsibilities. Once you are a Christian you have big responsibilities but they all sum up below: Preach The Gospel. A Christian has power. Power to resist the Devil and his agents. When problems come, such as finance, food, etc, think of these as tests. These tests, if you pass, promote you to a new position in God and life. The Devil is jealous of how much you have in Christ, and he wants to take it away. He cannot take it away while you are sturdy, so he sends distractions. If you are overtaken by these distractions, you have weakened and the Devil can snatch the life away from you. (SEE Matthew 13). And once you let Jesus into you heart, you have to forget about yourself and do what he wants. Always let His will guide you. Before Jesus was crucified, he prayed to God and asked Him if there was another way. Notice that Jesus said, "But let Your will be done and not mine" (SEE Matthew 26:39). As God wills...

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...

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!

Put on the armour! The Armour! The Armour! The Armour of God!

' Order the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle! Harness the horses, and mount up you horsemen! Stand forth with your helmets , polish the spears, put on the armour!  - Jeremiah 46: 3-4 This verse talk about a battle. Not a battle of the physical (the seen) but a battle of the spiritual (the unseen). We need to stand up in the faith! We must defend ourselves from the enemy! "Be clear-minded and alert. Your opponent, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour." - 1 Peter 5:8. What do we need to do to shield us from the enemy? How do we stop "the roaring lion"  from attacking us? Here's the good news! God has given us an armour! The Armour of God (or AOG for short) in Ephesians 6:14-17 talks about this armour what we should wear, do and understand! " Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readine...
