Keep God First!

"Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean. Wash me and I will be whiter than snow" - Psalm 51:7 
We all need to be cleansed. Now, if you are a Christian, I would advise you to still keep reading. God never wanted us to end up in Hell. That place of doom. He wanted us to enjoy the world! Worship and fellowship with Him! But, we wouldn't have had the power to defeat Satan. Jesus dying for us is the greatest gift ever! As Jesus said, there are only two ways to live. On Jesus' side, or on the Devil' side. We as Christian are made in the same image as God, spiritually! Which means in Heaven we all look the same! Like God (Jesus)! No wonder Paul said: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." - Galatians 3:28. This because we are likewise with Jesus! The New Jerusalem. And there are so many blessings we have in Christ. And, like in wars today, there is an enemy. Satan (also known as the Devil or Lucifer). He is very jealous of us, and wishes he had never tempted Adam in the first place. So he distracts us. With things we make our idols. Not only gods and statues, but, things that we love more than God. This is what the Devil can use to distract. He is cunning, sneaky and clever (Genesis 3:1) but he is not powerful! He can only twist and change what God has created! Change richness into poverty, turn our lives into a facsimile of sham etcetera. This is why God should remain our God! Nothing should replace Him! Like a wise pastor said: "If Jesus is not driving the car, He is not in the car" The car is life. If Jesus is not first in your life, He is not in it. Keep God First!

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...

STOP HOLDING ONTO FLESH!

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” John 14:21 KJV http://bible.com/1/jhn.14.21.kjv We can see from this verse that a true follower of Jesus obeys his commands. But why do we find it difficult to follow Jesus? It’s because we are still holding onto flesh. We don’t want to let go, we think we can be both of God and of the flesh. But for you to work with God, the flesh must be dead. The flesh is your mind, emotions and your will. I repeat, God cannot work with you if the flesh is still alive. We cannot still hold on to the flesh. We are still sitting on the fence, not going in or out. Jesus said: “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:16 KJV http://bible.com/1/rev.3.16.kjv Let’s stop holding onto the flesh!

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...
