REMAIN IN HIM

-

1 John 2:24-27

So you must remain faithful to what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will remain in fellowship with the Son and with the Father.

And in this fellowship we enjoy the eternal life he promised us.

I am writing these things to warn you about those who want to lead you astray.

But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.


Glory to God, you cannot afford to go out of Him.


Listen, that is the whole target of the enemies' battle. To separate you from the Father.


That is what he did in the beginning, we see it in record of scriptures, even when Christ came and even when the gospel began, he is still in the business today.


John 10:28

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me,


So are you going to do this by your power? No, however you must be willing, that has been the instruction from the beginning even in the time of the law:


Isaiah 1:19 (kjv)

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:


Someone asked: "We say Christ has done it all, why do we have requirements?"


They should understand that the fact that Christ did all for us, does not make Him the one to accept what He has done, we have to accept it.


I could decide to give out a scholarship, however it means nothing to the one who refuses to accept it or do the process of receiving it. Also, if you refused to follow the process, then you don't get it.


It is that simple, you are either for Him or you are not. You cannot be for Him and also be for the world or the enemy, it doesn't work that way.


Our duty is to accept Him, then remain in Him.


John 15:4

Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.


How do you accept Him? By releasing your will to Him. This you achieve by first accepting His salvation then presenting your body as a living sacrifice.


How do you remain in Him? By submitting to His Spirit.


For Christ leaves in us by His Spirit. Glory to God.


So dear brethren, let us not be deceived, we must remain in Him if we are truly His.


Help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Dear Lord, in You I live, move and have my being. I am safe in Your Holy care. Let Thy Spirit control all  areas of my life. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
