Count your blessings!

“Abram asked, “Almighty LORD, what will you give me? Since I’m going to die without children, Eliezer of Damascus will inherit my household. You have given me no children, so this member of my household will be my heir.” Suddenly, the LORD spoke his word to Abram again. He said, “This man will not be your heir. Your own son will be your heir.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭15:4 GW

Sometime we just go blabbering on about the things we don't have. We go, "Uh! I don't have a really good Xbox!" Or "My laptop's broken! I don't have any money!". Abram was starting to do this. God had to speak to him and tell Abram he was looking at the wrong thing! Abram needed to know that he needed to count his blessings. You might say, "I don't have any blessings!" but you do! God has given you a life which is a gift and does NOT belong to you. God has given you this life for HIS purpose, but He doesn't force you to believe in Him. In fact, God let's you decide how you live your life. He is clever as well! Because when you appear to Him on Judgement day, you will have no excuse for your actions. These were your choices! Which you did, ignoring your conscience. God gave you this and this is how you know what is right and wrong. What is evil and what is good. Jesus is a merciful God, more merciful than what you think! He gave us the gift of life, freewill, conscience and salvation as well as plenty, hundreds, millions more! God wants everyone to follow Him and this is the least we can do for all those blessings!

Revere Christ as Lord!

"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." - 1 Peter 3:15. Whenever we are being trialled or tested for our faith, we should never deny it. Take the opportunity to tell them about God. Preach to them and give them the chance to hear about God. It may work, it may not. But all you know is, you accomplished your part of the mission. You've preached to them. Now it's there decision to come to Christ. Notice the Bible says do it with GENTLENESS. We don't use violence to try and preach the Gospel. We don't force people to believe in our reality. We use one of the fruit of the spirit (See Galatians 5:22 for a full list) Now you may wonder why Peter says 'with respect' when God says: "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" - Acts 10:34.

Most Powerful

8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (‭Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8‬ KJV) In this verse, David is actually having a revelation about Jesus from the Holy Ghost. Let me explain. You see- as Christians, Jesus is the one who is before us. The One we follow. He is at our right hand and protects us. And because of Him, we are not moved. The Lord is you Leader, Provider and Guide. Without him, your steps would be without guide and you would have no knowledge of the path you are taking. You would be vulnerable to Satan and he will be able to destroy you. But-thank God- he can't destroy us. Christ lives in us, the most powerful Thing ever!
