That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Colossians 1:10"
Love works like a magnet since everyone wants to be loved. Jesus shared a big secret with His disciples-the secret to winning more souls for Him.
Christians need to have knowledge about where to keep the Word of God. The Holy Scriptures are to be kept in the hearts of believers in Christ Jesus.
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13"
The Word of God and the knowledge of God are power. There are no longer any limits to what the children of God can do in this world because Jesus Christ gives Christians the ability to do all things.
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. Jeremiah 17:7"
Everybody who comes across this scripture should be happy indeed. God has blessings for those who trust and hope in Him!
Dear beloved, do you trust and hope in the Bible you carry?
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 1 Peter 2:9"
Knowing who you are determines your continual victory and success as a Christian. The Holy Scriptures have thrown light on who Jesus Christ has made Christians: a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a unique people.
There are many people in this world who believe there is a God, but when it comes to believing that Jesus Christ is God, they don't believe. The disciples themselves had to be made to believe that Jesus is God.
Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22"
The God kind of life is a life that is totally dependent on God. God is your burden bearer, and therefore, there is absolutely no need to burden yourself with the issues of life.
Dear beloved, are you still carrying your burdens? Turn to Jesus Christ!
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. Psalm 103:15"
The psalmist came to a point in his life where he began to understand that life is short. He compared the human life to the grass and flowers of the field. In essence, when you are aware that life on Earth is short, you put forth your very best to live a fulfilled life-a life of knowing God and the Lord Jesus Christ and living to please them.
There is a way to prolong your days: to fear God and depart from evil (Proverbs 10:27). Let's cheer up and live a fulfilled life unto the Lord. Hallelujah!
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:19"
Jesus Christ is a good God, and He has given power to all who believe in Him. One of the uses of this power is to tread on the serpents and scorpions.
Our Lord Jesus added that nothing will by any means hurt us. Any time the devil wants to deceive you into believing that he still has some power, be quick to place him where he belongs- under your feet. Dear beloved, no matter how the devil may try to put fear in you, don't give in to it but instead rebuke him, and he will flee. Hallelujah!
"And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me. Daniel 10:19"
The Word of God is the solution for everything; whatever challenges you might be facing, the Holy Scriptures have answers for you. The prophet Daniel saw a vision of the Lord and became weak out of fear, but the angel of the Lord spoke the Word of God to him, and he regained his strength.
Praise the Lord!
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: John 11:25"
He said, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). Dear beloved, what did you learn from this gospel?
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33"
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Matthew 24:34"
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? Jeremiah 32:27"
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6"
God is a Spirit and requires that we worship Him in spirit and truth (John 4:24). He does not want us to have to see Him before we believe that He exists; He wants us to worship Him and relate with Him in faith.
There are three things God requires in our faith: to acknowledge that He exists, to know that He is a rewarder, and, finally, to seek Him diligently. Let us therefore approach God in faith, and we will continually please Him and find rest for our souls. Hallelujah!
That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:15"
God Almighty does not discriminate when it comes to the subject of salvation. The invitation for salvation has been sent to all mankind for God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). If you will only believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God and receive Him as your Lord and personal Savior, you will be saved and given eternal life as a free gift for your faith.
Dear beloved, what did you learn from this gospel?
"He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. Luke 6:48"
Jesus Christ compared those who do what He says to a wise builder who built his house on the rock.
"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6"
As a child of God, do you know what it means to be hungry and thirsty after righteousness? It means righteousness is what you eat and drink; in other words, you are always looking forward to doing what is pleasing unto God and are not ready to compromise whatsoever.
