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...

Colossians 3:24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. Surely there is a limit on what we can choose. Yes there are things that are not completely in our control, we are brought into them. For instance, we did not choose who our parents, siblings or children would be! The same way there is a limit to our choice of who we work under or serve. For instance Joseph could not decide Potiphar or his wife's character. He just had to serve them. Knowing this, what do we do? Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; This is why Joseph said: Genesis 39:9  [There is] none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou [art] his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? Joseph knew who he served! Not Potiphar, but God the Almighty. We see that later on, Potiphar and his wife had to answer to Him. Genesis 41:4...

Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; We should not allow the things that are still requests to us blind us from thanksgiving. For what God has done for us far outweighs anything that could ever be our request. Most times we feel, "oh this is so important, so urgent, a necessity". However, He who knows all sees deeper and further than we can. That is why the scripture say that patience is a virtue for anyone who will follow Christ. Luke 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls. James 1:4 But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. Thus we cannot be led by His Spirit without patience. Today let us give thanks as we remind ourselves of how good our God is to us. Think, you will see that He has been faithful through the years. Let this make you treat others with love, stop the hate, jealousy, backbiting and all other forms of witchcraft. If God has bee...

John 21:3,15 Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing.”“We’ll come, too,” they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night. After breakfast Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”“Yes, Lord,” Peter replied, “you know I love you.”“Then feed my lambs,” Jesus told him. It is natural for every human to have something they are passionate about, some activity, job, sport, hubby or career they feel they cannot do without. (What is yours?) However, we must never sacrifice our assignment to satisfy it. It is worse still if we give room for bad habits or even addictions. We must be deligent and excellent in our earthly work for that is a must for all believers, mediocrity and laziness are not acceptable in the kingdom of God, so here on earth, all believers must excel. So in that job, position, business or office, you must be found blameless, with integrity, deligent and excellent in your role. There is no excuse! The same also appl...

Colossians 2:7 Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. The strength of a tree lies on how deep and strong the roots are. The foundation tells if the house will stand or fall. We as believers have our foundation in Christ Jesus. And what a strong rock He is. Never shaken, always rigid, stronger than any other. For there is no other. Selah 1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone]; Thus when the foundation is right every other part will stand. So what do we do? Colossians 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Yes, knowing that we should reject anything that contradicts Christ in our lives, ...
