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

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!

Pondering the Bible: How can a good God allow evil?

""The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV http://bible.com/114/jer.17.9.nkjv Q:  How can a good God allow evil?  This is the question I get from many Christianity skeptics. Well, let’s think all the way back to the beginning. God gave Adam and Eve a choice. To remain in His goodness, and enjoy a peaceful, free life, or go their own way and define good and evil for yourself. We all know what happened. The point I’m trying to make is,  man chose to do evil.  If you decide to deliberately burn yourself by putting your hand in an oven, you can’t blame the cook for that. It’s the same thing!  Man chose to do evil.  Well, why can’t God get rid of evil?  Do you want to remove your existence? Well, God doesn’t. You see, if God removed evil, He would have to remove man in the process, as man is evil. But He found a way to remove evil from us without wiping us out. He sent Jesus to die for u...
