Discovering Truth - Verse of the Day

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3:20-21‬ ‭NLT‬‬ http://bible.com/116/eph.3.20-21.nlt

“The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NLT‬‬ http://bible.com/116/2pe.3.9.nlt

Title: Who is Your Priority? Scripture: " But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. " - Matthew 6:33 ESV  Did you know that the kingdom of God is Jesus? Very surprising, but true! I found this out in my study/prayer time.  'Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.'  Matthew 3:2  At this point, Jesus must have been close to the destination where John was. John was talking about two things: the Kingdom of God and His power, and Jesus. You see what I mean? Jesus is the Kingdom of God.  We say that we are Christians. But a large group of us are not who we say we are. Because the word Christian means of Christ. And to be of Christ, you must make Him your priority. But many don't! They stay double minded and still go revelling at parties and going to nightclubs! Woe unto you, do not remain double-minded! Watch out for your fall is nigh! A Christian's priority shoul...

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” Isaiah 26:3 NIV http://bible.com/111/isa.26.3.niv  As Christians, we are like magnets, attracting good things (as prescribed by the Word). If only the people on the street knew about what God has given us in Christ. But, the Bible must stay true:  “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:4 NIV http://bible.com/111/2co.4.4.niv If everyone knew about Christ, church services would be held on the street. The Holy Spirit is the leader of the church. If there is no Holy Spirit in a church, there is no church. This is why many churches collapse. Because they are just buildings full of people. It is the wisdom of God that brings one to a place where the Holy Spirit is. As Christians, everything in this world will fight against ...

““Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Matthew 7:1-2 NIV http://bible.com/111/mat.7.1-2.niv When preached the Gospel, the people who do not want to receive it, use this verse as a way of imitation to the preacher. So, let's make things as clear as crystal, what did Jesus mean in Matthew 7:1-2?  You see, nobody can judge. It's true. But, if you are a Christian, it is not you who judges, but Christ that works in you who is judging. So no-one can judge. No-one human. Except the Christ, who lives in us. How do we know?   “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4 NIV http://bible.com/111/1jn.4.4.niv  Only a Christian, being led by the Holy Spirit can judge. Remember that!

Title: No more Lukewarm Scripture of the Day: " Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." - James 1:22 Unfortunately, doing what the Bible says is a hard thing for many Christians. The Christians of today seem to want to follow Christ, but with wanting to keep on doing and enjoying the things on earth. Partying, stealing, being corrupt etc. But, as the Bible points it out to us so strongly, we CANNOT live our lives double-minded. Here's what Scripture says about double-minded people:  " A double minded man is unstable in all his ways" - James 1:8 It is no wonder that these people become unstable and start to get themselves in many financial, emotional and spiritual issues, because they live their lives double-minded. They don't know or like to hear that they are not Christians. But I can prove it to you, using the words of Jesus. " I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either...

Title: Root of all Evils Scripture for The Day: ' Then he said to them,  “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” ' - Luke 12:15  What Jesus was saying is a warning to us all. There also many straight-to-the-point and frequent warnings about greed in the Bible, which shows how important this topic is. In the NIV Bible, the word 'greed' or 'greedy' is mentioned 25 times. You see, greed is something that you may not think is happening to you but it doesn't take long before it gets obvious! Greed is a thing that, over generations, humans have struggled with for a long time. Jesus warned us to be on guard against all kinds of greed, as Satan will use many tactics to try and get you to be greedy. He sometimes may use envy or covetousness to try and make sure that your heart becomes selfish, full of pride. In that split second, Satan will make the most of your resting moment. Money is anoth...

“Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:21 KJV http://bible.com/1/gal.5.21.kjv  The scripture tells it all. Make sure you inherit the Kingdom of God! 

“As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his foolishness.” Proverbs 26:11 NLT http://bible.com/116/pro.26.11.nlt Many so-called 'Christians' disobey God by partying, getting drunk and having what the world would call a 'good time'. But in God's eyes, this is the same thing as shutting the door and deciding to go back to Satan and be in bondage again. This is what the Bible calls going back to your vomit 🤢 .Don't go back - remain in Him, because otherwise you're in for a burning end! 

“When a potter makes jars out of clay, doesn’t he have a right to use the same lump of clay to make one jar for decoration and another to throw garbage into?” Romans 9:21 NLT http://bible.com/116/rom.9.21.nlt  Today I would like to talk to you about making yourself acceptable to God. Until you make yourself of use to God, you are useless. It's like a car with no engine. Unless you get an engine, the car will remain dominant and shall not move. How can we make ourselves acceptable? Paul tells us here:  “And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.” Romans 12:1 NLT http://bible.com/116/rom.12.1.nlt If you read the whole of Romans 12, Paul shows us how to make ourselves acceptable and holy to God. In verse 2, he says that we shouldn't copy the customs of the world.  ...

“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭10:38‬ ‭KJV‬‬ http://bible.com/1/act.10.38.kjv

“If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:1‬ ‭NLT‬‬ http://bible.com/116/1co.13.1.nlt Later on, Paul goes on to talk about even though he burnt his own clothes or sold all his possessions and did not show love, what he has done is nothing. You see - don't expect the world to like you. They'll want to make you feel special - in the wrong way. Jesus said, “The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.” ‭‭John‬ ‭15:19‬ ‭NLT‬‬ http://bible.com/116/jhn.15.19.nlt Be wise - Satan won't come nasty 😷, no! He'll seem pretty - but what lies behind? 

“The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.” John 10:10 NLT http://bible.com/116/jhn.10.10.nlt  When many run to Satan (they don't they are), they get the things they want. With a price. But how does Satan give those gifts? How? If God is the one creator, how can Satan give gifts?  The answer is Satan cannot give gifts. He STEALS and gives. When there's a problem many run to so-called problem solvers who use diabolical instruments to try and solve the problem. With a price. And that price is denying God to follow Satan for the rest of your life. Do you want to pay that price?

“The godly walk with integrity; blessed are their children who follow them.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭20:7‬ ‭NLT‬‬ http://bible.com/116/pro.20.7.nlt

““You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea.” Exodus 20:4 NLT http://bible.com/116/exo.20.4.nlt  Many complain about not getting blessings from God, and they are 'Christians'. Depending on the person, there are many reasons for this. One popular one is God. You see, preachers and teachers today talk about having greater faith being the reason why, which may be the case for some, but for many the problem is having a greater God. God is mighty and powerful, bigger than anything, but in you, he can only make himself as big as YOU want Him to be in your life. Many make him small and tiny, which is why he cannot work wonders in their lives. He cannot perform their prayers because they make Him so small! How can a tiny power generator with tiny power, give power to a whole stadium? Unless you make it bigger, the power generator cannot complete such a task. I also wanted to pinpoint a topic which...

“The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18:10‬ ‭NLT‬‬ http://bible.com/116/pro.18.10.nlt

“Sometimes you were exposed to public ridicule and were beaten, and sometimes you helped others who were suffering the same things. You suffered along with those who were thrown into jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever. So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!” Hebrews 10:33-35 NLT http://bible.com/116/heb.10.33-35.nlt  When they start off their Christian life, new-born believers easily fall away from the faith, as they are not equipped with the tools to face persecution. They are not held up in their faith, with the church believing that they can help themselves. This makes the new-borns easy targets for Satan, and the church. There are many things wrong with the churches these days, including the way the Gospel is taught. It is taught these days as a fictional fairytale designed by someone who is trying ...

“When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path.” Matthew 13:19 NIV http://bible.com/111/mat.13.19.niv  Many of us don't understand why Satan uses us sometimes. This is because of the seed sown in us. No-one else can sow it except you - either a good seed, or a bad seed. Satan will try to make sure that you sow a bad seed so he can have control over you. That is how he controls people. The unbelievers in the world all have bad seeds down in them, and what you sow is what you reap. Lots of people who get healed or delivered from demons forget about God, and start going back to their former      lives, and Satan has a grip. Anyone who goes to God, Satan watches with an even closer eye, checking the door of our hearts, to see if they're locked 🔒 . The activities that these people do is what determines what seed that is sowed ...

Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. 1 Corinthians 3:18 | NIV  Many of you out there would probably ask, why does Paul say this? This is because, as a generation of 'independent' humans, we rely on our human wisdom in all, especially by how long we've lived. But, as we read a lot of in the Bible, we know how much havoc relying on our own wisdom has caused! Paul wants to remind us about wisdom, and not just anyone's, but God's wisdom. This wisdom is what makes a Christian know what to do and how to do it in this corrput, vile and destructive world. Even Jesus was sometimes appalled by so-called Christians behaviour! "And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." Luke 16:8 But, why do I get persecuted for showing God's wisdom?...

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not depart from it." - Proverbs 22:6 NASB https://www.bible.com/en-GB/bible/100/PRO.22.6.nasb   Many people try to obey this verse, but do not succeed in doing it. What I mean is, they don't care about their child's behaviour or attitude but only telling them off and giving them 'advice'. When your child is frequently misbehaving, maybe yiu haven't guided them in the way they should go. 

24  Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive  them,  and you will have  them. - Mark 11:24

“For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:14-15‬ ‭KJV‬‬ http://bible.com/1/2co.5.14-15.kjv

““Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves.” Matthew 7:15 NLT http://bible.com/116/mat.7.15.nlt  When we think of false prophets, we think of people. But - this is not the only version of false prophets. No! There are many deceptive faiths, religions and scientific beliefs which are just to lead people astray from the Gospel. One famous one is the Big Bang Theory, even though the Word of God has already proven this wrong, 1 MILLION times. The belief of alien beings is not true. These aliens aren't on another planet, they're are right here mingling with us: demons. Demons. Deceptive demons using another method to deceive. Satan also uses the Bible to deceive! He and his demons even quote Scripture! But...they don't put it to action. They just leave it as text, and that's it. But there is power in the Bible! Any person can pick up a Bible, start reading the text, and call it 'teaching' (demons, working...

“I say this because many deceivers have gone out into the world. They deny that Jesus Christ came in a real body. Such a person is a deceiver and an antichrist.” 2 John 1:7 NLT http://bible.com/116/2jn.1.7.nlt  How this verse is so true 😔 . They're are many deceivers living in the world today - who try and twist the Christian faith, adjusting and modifying the Word to their and others' liking. One way is trying to trick people that you can live as a Christian - and keep your evil habits. LIARS! How can light be friends with darkness?  “Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”” John 8:12 NLT http://bible.com/116/jhn.8.12.nlt These deceivers always disguise themselves, covering themselves under the Gospel. They use science, schooling, politics and more to try and convince others to not believe in Jesus Christ....

10 But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.” (‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17‬:‭10‬ NLT)

“Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil.” Matthew 4:1 NLT http://bible.com/116/mat.4.1.nlt  The main part I want to focus on in this verse is not the tempting bit (I've talked a lot about that) , but the part led by the Spirit. Many pastors, teachers and evangelists are not led by the Spirit when they start their ministry. This is why many churches only have small growth and sustain. They collapse dramatically soon afterward. Like I have said before, Satan only brings you high up to make sure that when you land you are powder. Being led by the Spirit means letting the Holy Spirit guide you. This is ESSENTIAL for every pastor. If you are not led by the Spirit, you might as well give up now, because without being led by the Spirit, no Word you say is true, no counsel you His is faithful to God's Word and all your actions of purity are worthless. BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE ROOT OF THE CHURCH. Without Him, everything g...

“But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy.” Psalms 5:11 NLT http://bible.com/116/psa.5.11.nlt All who love His name. Do you? 

“Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.” 1 John 2:15 NLT http://bible.com/116/1jn.2.15.nlt  Many of us try to be Christians and try to be friends of the world. That's basically trying to be friends with satan or Jesus. And both of them are at enmity with each other. How does that work 🙄 ? Christians are being easily deceived in this era by satan. One main problem is having human enemies. NO! Our only enemy is satan the devil, and he tries to trick us into thinking others are our enemies, by causing them to annoy us.  “But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!” Matthew 5:44 NLT http://bible.com/116/mat.5.44.nlt  No-one is your enemy. No matter how it may seem that they do whatever they do independently and if their own will, it is SATAN! S-a-t-a-n. No one else! Fight the good fight of the faith! 

Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God's sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. - Romans 3:20. As I have said before in previous posts, it is not because of people's sins that people go to Hell. It is the refusal to accept Jesus Christ that will. Their sins have already been paid for - they just need to approve and accept Christ. It's like being offered a job - everything's been done, you just need to approve and accept the requirements. Tell this to all - Jesus is coming, accept Him before it's too late!
