Standing on the Rock

“That’s the whole story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12:13‬ ‭NLT‬


It is everyone duty, as the writer of Ecclesiastes tells us, to fear God and obey His commands. But why doesn't everyone obey them, you may ask? Well, God doesn't FORCE you to follow Him. But when you do follow Him an He has shown himself to you in a miraculous way, no matter what happens, you will keep walking with Jesus and resist that temptation. When you  are where God wants you to be, the Devil will use anything to pull you out of there because he knows that that is a place of healing, deliverance and a place of God. The Devil will use friends, offence, conflict, accidents to stop you from getting to your destinations or to get you out. But these things will come but when you stand firm on the Word of God and the Spirit of Christ is inside you, not one offence, conflict, friend or accident can stop you from being who and where God wants you to be. Satan knows that once God gets you, you will not want to go. So he uses the lures of the world, friends, food, animals, schools-ANYTHING! Always remember: Satan is a whatever it takes being. He will try and try and try, but if you stand on the Word of God he will leave you alone BUT! He will come back, and test you again later in life. Read these verses to learn more about protection against the enemy:
Ephesians 6:13-17
1 Corinthians 10:13
Deuteronomy 31:6

1 Corinthians 10:13 talks about NO temptation overtaking us which is true! Christians who are fully grounded in God's Word do not fall in temptation! Be strong, standing on the Rock Jesus Christ!

The Power In The Name

"There is none like God...who rides through Heaven to your help, through the skies in His majesty" - Deuteronomy 33:26  Many of us expect an answer when we pray - immediately. We try to control God  thinking we know best, when God does. But if the Holy Spirit lives in us, patience live in us too, because it is of the Spirit (Gal  5:22 ). We have everything we ever need or ever will need - the only thing you have to do is activate it. The power in the name of Jesus, as soon as you activate it, is ready and available to use. Anyone can say Jesus, but they can't use its power because it's either:  A) not given to them or  B) they don't believe.  What can I do to activate the power?  To activate this power, you need faith and full relying on God. No matter what, even in temptation. You see, a Christian's life is one with more temptation. But that's good - because:  A) We overcome them all!  B) It's when we show and display J...

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...

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!
