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!

Pondering the Bible: How can a good God allow evil?

""The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV http://bible.com/114/jer.17.9.nkjv Q:  How can a good God allow evil?  This is the question I get from many Christianity skeptics. Well, let’s think all the way back to the beginning. God gave Adam and Eve a choice. To remain in His goodness, and enjoy a peaceful, free life, or go their own way and define good and evil for yourself. We all know what happened. The point I’m trying to make is,  man chose to do evil.  If you decide to deliberately burn yourself by putting your hand in an oven, you can’t blame the cook for that. It’s the same thing!  Man chose to do evil.  Well, why can’t God get rid of evil?  Do you want to remove your existence? Well, God doesn’t. You see, if God removed evil, He would have to remove man in the process, as man is evil. But He found a way to remove evil from us without wiping us out. He sent Jesus to die for u...

Acting on God's Word....

"Do not merely listen to the Word and deceive yourselves. practice it and do what it says." - James 1:22 Today I wanted to talk to you about the Bible's power. Many atheists and other non-Christians believe that the Bible is not true, but THEY haven't meditated on the Word that they heard from Church, study etc. Let's take a look at what Jesus said: " They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.   49  But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.'" Any questions? OK. But HOW do I 'practice and do' what God's Word says?  You make sure that whatever it says, has effect on your life. What I mean to say is, make sur...

Pondering the Bible: How to deal with anger

"Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires." James 1:20 NLT http://bible.com/116/jas.1.20.nlt Let’s admit it, we all deal with anger sometimes. But some more than most. When we do get angry, we get this overwhelming sense of bitterness and malice that is sometimes uncontrollable. This brings us to today’s question: How do you deal with anger?  Well, satan will always keep on trying to do things to make you angry. And as soon as you give in and never let it go, you have failed and satan can hold you back.  Here’s how to deal with it:  The Bible says that when you are angry you should not let it carry over to the next morning.  "And "don’t sin by letting anger control you." Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry," Ephesians 4:26 NLT http://bible.com/116/eph.4.26.nlt This means you may only be angry for some time. But I wouldn’t for long:  "Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be...
