Let's Meditate!

"Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain." - 1 Corinthians 15:58 

Some of us let our guard down once we face temptations or we partially take part in the work of God.. Our labour, the stuff we face, doesn't get looked upon - it gets rewarded. Nothing should move us according to Paul. He said it again in Ephesians six. This all happens in a different realm - the spiritual which controls the physical. Many of us blame people directly for their actions - which is wildly wrong. Because everyone is a spirit which means that to be able to control a person, you have to control them in the spirit. God  is a spirit, which means you need to talk with him through the spirit. For example, there's a bad odour in the room. What would you do? 
A) Blame the smell on itself? 
B) Find the smell's source and remove it 

Yes, we would all choose B. The person is the smell - now we need to find the source. If the Spirit lives in you, the source you will be able to find easily - because the Spirit will tell you. The Holy Spirit brings everything to rememberance - meaning that He tells us things through our conscience. But sometimes we're not ready to hear - the Bible says we should. 

" Know this, my dear brothers and sisters: everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to grow angry." - James 1:19 CEB 

Did you hear that? Quick to listen... meaning we should also be ready to hear the voice of God. Some of us are too busy, too active. But God wants us to be connecting with Him all the time. Sometimes, you may here something and say 'What was that?' - it may be God trying to get your attention. You see, you shouldn't just read the Bible and put it down. No! You need to respond to God by praying, and meditating (thinking about and dwelling on) God's Word! Let's meditate! 

Scripture References: 
1 Cor 15:58
James 1:19 
James 1:16 
James 1:17-18 

Confession: I am a son/daughter of God and will never let my guard down. I will work fully in the House of God, and He shall be my Lord and Saviour. Devil, get away! IJN, Amen

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!

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...

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...
