Who is Your Priority?

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 should be Jesus, that is where the focus and centre of attention in your life should be, 24/7. No side way partying some nights, smoking some days, going out with bad friends some days. No! Satan will start giving you the ideas of 'It doesn't matter' or 'Just this once!' to try and eventually lure you from the Kingdom of God back into his hands. And, remember, Satan only brings you so high, so that when you fall, you will be like dust. Don't fall for the trap that has deceived millions! Focus on the priority of the Christian faith, not Mary, or Mother Theresa, but JESUS!

STOP HOLDING ONTO FLESH!

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” John 14:21 KJV http://bible.com/1/jhn.14.21.kjv We can see from this verse that a true follower of Jesus obeys his commands. But why do we find it difficult to follow Jesus? It’s because we are still holding onto flesh. We don’t want to let go, we think we can be both of God and of the flesh. But for you to work with God, the flesh must be dead. The flesh is your mind, emotions and your will. I repeat, God cannot work with you if the flesh is still alive. We cannot still hold on to the flesh. We are still sitting on the fence, not going in or out. Jesus said: “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:16 KJV http://bible.com/1/rev.3.16.kjv Let’s stop holding onto the flesh!

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...

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...
