Anything for Jesus...

"And they straightaway left the boats and their father and followed Him" - Matthew 4:22

This verse talks about Peter and his brother John, who left everything to follow Jesus. Jesus said to be fishers of people, not our heart desires. Those fish were examples of the things in our life. Except the fish are our heart desires. We just don't wanna leave until we've got the money, the life, the children. Matthew 19:16-30 teaches a valuable lesson. That unless you are chosen bu God and cannot leave the worldly life, you cannot be a follower of Christ. Simple. But Peter and John knew that God was leading them to an important man. And they were willing to give up their family, household and even their job for Jesus! We need to male a sacrifice for Jesus. A wise pastor once said, "If it doesn't hurt you what you are giving to Jesus, you are not loving him." This basically means that if whatever were giving to Jesus, has no value to us, it's a waste of time! We have to give up something to invite Jesus into our lives. We have to give Him our time, effort and seriousness. Expressing, "I will do anything for Jesus". If you miss out on my scripture reference section, here it is below!

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...
