Why read the Bible? Learn about the Bible in this devotional!

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" - Psalm 119:105 
We must always read our Bibles with guidance from God's Spirit. Why? Some verses may not seem...correct to the human mind, but with God's mind(SEE Philippians 2:5), we can understand it. Read this: "The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him-- the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD--" - Isaiah 11:2 

The Holy Spirit is God's Helper and Messenger. We should spend as much time as we can daily fellowshipping with Him. Telling Jesus our worries, hopes and fears. We should always pray in the morning, evening and, if you can, midday. Us as Christians shoudl be watching both pysichally and spiritually for Satan's next act. Christians have control of the future. Exciting, right? But we need to see that power to activate it. We walk around, "...lovers of iniquity more than God..." - 2 Timothy 3:2 thinking it's normal. Bet you anything, if people realised what we have in Christ, there'd be no room on the streets for church! But because we love fading things in this world more than the eternal things of #God, we don't know of this power of faith that controls the spiritual realm. And we all know that the spiritual controls the physical!

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!
