Make your choice....


“For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.” – 2 Corinthians 4:20

God is saying here that we shouldn’t be people who gossip or talk about others, or believe what people say. Philippians 2:5 says we should be like Jesus and Isaiah explains Jesus here:
A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;
    from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
2 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—
3 and he will delight in the fear of the Lord.
He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,
    or decide by what he hears with his ears;
4 but with righteousness he will judge the needy,
    with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth.
He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth;
    with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.
5 Righteousness will be his belt
    and faithfulness the sash around his waist.
-       Isaiah 11: 1-5 NIV
Isaiah says that Jesus would not judge by everything He heard. We should do the same, not always believing what we hear. WE shouldn’t join in with mockers as David says in the first line of Psalms:
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
-       Psalms 1:1 NIV
The verse says that those who do not join in with mockers, but helps the person being mocked, will be blessed. Psalms also said that the one who does not walk in step with the wicked is blessed. Joining in with wicked activities basically means joining in with activities that do not please God. E.g., smoking.
What? But smoking isn’t mentioned in the Bible!
I know. But what does smoking lead to? Cancer, a disease that kills. And John 10:10 says:
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
See? Smoking is wrong! Anything against the Will and Word of God is sinful and wrong. Make your choice, make it now. To be wicked or good.

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!
