Never Forget Who You Are

““Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.””
1 Timothy 4:8 NLT

Hmm. Training for godliness. And, even in this new earth for the believers, this framing brings benefits as well. How do I train for godliness? Read the Word. Pray. Allow the Spirit to work. Jesus wants us to remain pure and godly, to continue to RAP (Read the Word, Allow the Spirit to work, Pray.). Now, look at Joseph. He was destined for the throne, as God showed him in his dreams. But his life was just like a rollercoaster. But did you know that all of the trials Jospeh faced were training experiences? To test His love for God, and to teach him about people and the rollercoaster of life. He did get to the thrown, but he never forgot that God was with him. Joseph was being prepared, and not once did he forget who He was. I tell you for sure, nothing in your life happens for nothing. Joseph is a good example of the life of a Christian. False accusations, hard struggles, a life spent with God, and a life of power. If it worked out for Joseph, it can work out for you!

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!
