Who I Am In Christ










"Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.” - John 6:27

Some of us want to be rich and honoured by the people on earth. But to achieve this goal, you'll need to act like THEM. But John instructs us to be Christ-like:
"Whoever  says they abide  in him [Jesus] ought to walk in the same way in which He walked."
John means for us to be Christ-like. Whenever we want to take action or decide on something, we need to put Jesus first in the matter. We have to ask Him, because He knows the best for our lives. We must first be humble to accept God's decision.

"God  has no use for conceited people, but shows favour to those who are humble." - Proverbs 3:34. When we talk about 'concieted people' we are talking about people with disobedient pride. Disobedient pride is when you think you can do something without God and do it contrary to His commandments. To be able to accept God's decision, you must first be humble.

God needs us to be Christ-like so that we can show others the way to Jesus. Your actions, thoughts and words should all be about Jesus or related to Him. Always be thinking: What would Jesus do?

"For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps." - 1 Peter 2:21

We must always be thinking about others. How can I help? What can I do to be Christ-like? Being Christ-like also means spending time with God and/or His Word, like Jesus did.

Read the Scriptures with understanding. Memorise them so that you can tell others and lead them to the reference.

Pray and say Confessions. Pray and say who you are in Christ. I suggest, personally, the Rhapsody of Realities by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome. Visit: http://www.rhapsodyofrealities.org/index.php/en/ to learn more. Anyway, we must say who we are in Christ multiple times daily. This gives us protection from the enemy - Satan and also proves we know who we are and the devil can't change our minds

Always do everything with God's Word at the back of your head. In everything you do, ask yourself is it right? Does the Bihle say anything about this? Or, what would Jesus do in this situation?


Know who You are In Christ!

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...

Acting on God's Word....

"Do not merely listen to the Word and deceive yourselves. practice it and do what it says." - James 1:22 Today I wanted to talk to you about the Bible's power. Many atheists and other non-Christians believe that the Bible is not true, but THEY haven't meditated on the Word that they heard from Church, study etc. Let's take a look at what Jesus said: " They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.   49  But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.'" Any questions? OK. But HOW do I 'practice and do' what God's Word says?  You make sure that whatever it says, has effect on your life. What I mean to say is, make sur...

Pondering the Bible: How to deal with anger

"Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires." James 1:20 NLT http://bible.com/116/jas.1.20.nlt Let’s admit it, we all deal with anger sometimes. But some more than most. When we do get angry, we get this overwhelming sense of bitterness and malice that is sometimes uncontrollable. This brings us to today’s question: How do you deal with anger?  Well, satan will always keep on trying to do things to make you angry. And as soon as you give in and never let it go, you have failed and satan can hold you back.  Here’s how to deal with it:  The Bible says that when you are angry you should not let it carry over to the next morning.  "And "don’t sin by letting anger control you." Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry," Ephesians 4:26 NLT http://bible.com/116/eph.4.26.nlt This means you may only be angry for some time. But I wouldn’t for long:  "Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be...
