Where Your Focus Is : Theme Of The Week

"If you have then be raised with Christ seek things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God" - Colossians 3:1

Apostle Paul is telling us where to put our focus. If your focus is on worldly things, that's where you belong. You focus is very important as it discerns what and when something happens. We as Christians should seek God first than anything else. What about the Isrealites and the golden calf? Where was there focus? On the golden calf. That means that they belonged to it, and practised the cultures that it wanted them to do. God says in Exodus 20:4 "Do not make any idols of any form that look like anything in the earth, the sky or under the earth". The focus and attention of the Isrealites was on there idol. This is why God warns us to follow His path instead of our own. What happened to the Isrealites? God punishes them for there disobedience. Sometimes, our own desires can lead to disobedience and when we disobey, God leaves us because we have sinned. And God hates SIN!



So: Be careful where you put your focus!

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...
