Luke 24:25-27 Then Jesus said to them, “You foolish people! You find it so hard to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures. Wasn’t it clearly predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all these things before entering his glory?” Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. Things really got messed up at the fall of man, for what man did was to reject God. From that time what God warned them of, befell them, death! Thus for man to get fruit out of the earth He had to toil. The position of authority was lost in the place of disobedience, such that animals who were at our command became a threat to us: Genesis 4:7 You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.” 1Samuel 13:14 "But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD h...

Philippians 3:20-21 But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his control. We have not forgotten where we are headed, what we have become and to whom we belong. Our life does not end here. For though we do not see Him now, we know that we will see Him and also be with Him. Halleluyah So if we carry this truth in our heart we should be encouraged to live the type of life He wants us to live. Not in filth or carelessness but in the power of His Spirit. That when He returns we will receive His rewards. Some may say: "Is there anything to be worried about, no one can take our crown, it is already guaranteed?". The scriptures implies otherwise: Revelation 3:11  "Behold, I come quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. We ...

Matthew 5:48 But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect. This is one of the scriptures that make people say things like "it is impossible to please God". The reasoning is that no one can be perfect. Well, the truth is that you believe, you become and you belong. Selah Are we ready to be like the family we became a member of? It is one thing to be adopted into God's family it is another to walk in the ways of the kingdom. Titus 1:16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work. What we profess, we must prove for we cannot say we know God then work in iniquity. 1John 3:3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. For we must remember what Christ said: Matthew 7:20&21  "Therefore by their fruits you will know them.  "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of...

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; Really believe is a choice, that is, we could choose to believe or choose not to. Many people follow one religion or the other because they were born into it. However there comes the time in adulthood when one must "answer their name". What and Why do you believe? Some are privileged to be able to see through the options offered in the world and then decide to pick one to follow. Some could even conclude that they would follow none. Some could also conclude that there is no God! Whatever it is, one truth remains. "You could always choose your actions or take your decisions, but remember YOU DO NOT CONTROL THE CONSEQUENCES! Psalm 50:22 "Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, And there be none to deliver: So we share the truth with all. John 3:16-18 “For this is ho...

Philippians 1:27 Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News. The revelation of the Gospel of Christ, that is, what He has done that all men may be reconciled to God, is the most important assignment Christ left with us when He left the earth. We must bear this message in our lifestyle, evangelism and in good works. Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Matthew 5:16  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. For this purpose, as Paul explained, we conduct ourselves properly, as citizens of heaven which we ought to be, that together we fulfil this purpose. Thus we must remind ourselv...

Psalms 34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. We don't always have to make  everyday a day of requests, battles and anxieties. We could take a day like today to give God praise all the way. One good way is the counsel of old - counting your blessings! The first is to thank God for life. Above everything we put our mind on concerning our life here on earth, we must be grateful for the grace to be alive. For it is when we have life that any other thing matters. Thus the Psalmist says: Psalm 150:6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD. Yes, for truly, that which you worry about only matters because you still have breath in you. Yes, it is human to want to worry. However we live by the spirit and not the flesh! Philippians 4:6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Turn your worries into prayer, praise and meditation of the word. The Heavenly Fath...
