WITHIN SCRIPTURE.

SANCTIFICATION 1 Thessalonians 5: 23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ --------------------------------------------  Heaven is a beautiful place. But it is also a place of rules. Some people may say that it is a free place where one does whatever he wishes. That is just imaginary. There are rules that govern heaven and that all who walk in it must walk by those rules. Having angels of different hiarechy, there are those whole rule over the others. One rule in heaven is purity. It is said within scripture, that without holiness, no one will see God. Have you ever wondered at some point to whether you are holy? Have you ever had three or five hours where you feel holiness.. holiness.? Many of the times when asked such a question, we say God should just forgive. We say it in an impression of "we have never been that".  It may feel impossibl...

PEACE BY TRUST Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. -------------------------------------------- Because of atmospheres of trials and persecutions, many of us tend to struggle out our own way without calling unto the father. It is common that whenever you are buried into a problem, you tend to forget and try your personal luck out of that problem. It is not how much you try that will set you free from that that has pressed you against the wall. As Christians, we clearly know that our war is not against flesh and blood. Our war is against the principalities of this dark world. We have occasionally talked about the number of times the devil is at work in this world. He doesn't work just on Monday, he doesn't just work on Tuesday...nor does work on Wednesday. The devil runs to and fro this world. He seeks for whom to destroy. He runs day and night throughout.  And yet , we don't work day and night. We wo...

GOD IN CONTROL Psalms 31:15 My times are in your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me. -------------------------------------------- God made man in His image. He gave him His own breath. Inside th e flesh, He wired nerves and vessels. He set up emotions. He set up bands of thoughts on which the man will move. He set up the soul and spirit for man to take charge. The good news is , it is not man who created himself.  It is not the problem of man that he has challenges on this land. It is not your problem that you face what you face. It is not you who decided that you should face problem x at time y. There is a power that is control. It is not by your might that you have come this far, there is a power in control. It is not in your power that you will go to the future you think, there is a power in control.  The devil is stronger than we are without Christ. He was a might angel in heaven before he was thrown to the earth. He was created fr...

ASSIGNMENT TO EARTH. Genesis 2:15 15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. -------------------------------------------- When Adam was "built" to God's desired end, he was put to a place. In planning for the structure of Adam, God put elements that could enable Adam to build land and maintain it's beauty. That means he was given an assignment but also tools to accomplish the assignment. He was also designed to enjoy the earth. Something is behind your being here. Something is behind your character. Something is behind your beauty. Something is behind your wholesomeness. God has not put all that He has put into you just to make you feel good about that. Putting courage, confidence, ability to dream is not for nothing. He has an assignment for you.  "Go work the land", He told Adam; " take care of it". God has made you a worker and a caretaker in the land He has given you. You have to w...

A SOLDIER FOR CHRIST . 2 Timothy 2:3 Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. -------------------------------------------- He moves out by the orders of the boss. He goes out and encroaches territories with zeal and strong ambition to win. When it rains, he perseveres and still stand fighting for the sake of he that sent him. He fights when it is too hot. He fights when it is too cold. When there are thorns, he is well equipped and still fights on. He goes high to mountains to fight the battles and goes low to still fight. A soldier of Christ is likened to such a soldier. Many times, many have given up on Christ just because of the endless challenges that they face. They reach moments where they feel they can no longer move on. Personal challenges, Ministry challenges, community challenges. They give up. One to be a true soldier of Christ means that they endure hardship and still move on with the rest. You acknowledge that whatever challenge you face is ...
