GOD CAUSES US TO GROW

And not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God. Colossians 2:19 Your growth and increase comes from God. You cannot expect to grow if you don’t spent time with God and if you don’t go to church. God is the One who causes you to grow. You have to be rooted in Him, and you have to abide in Him. When you are rooted and abide in Him, you will grow and when you grow, you will be fruitful and productive. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. John 15:4-5 You can grow and become the person that God wants you to be. God can mold you and shape to the person that He wants you to be, all you have to do is learn to yield to Him. God wants you to grow and bea...

FOLLOW CHRIST

As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him. Colossians 2:6 To walk in Christ is to follow Christ. As you have received Christ, so you have to follow Him. You can follow Christ every day of your life by walking up each morning and putting on the Lord Jesus Christ. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. Romans 13:14 You put on the Lord Jesus Christ by spending time with Him. You spend time with Him in secret, and when you come out that secret place you walk in Him, meaning you follow Him. You can walk in Him and follow Him because you have sensitized yourself to His voice. You have been with Him secret and when He speaks to you in public you can follow Him because you are sensitive to His voice. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. John 10:4 You can put on Christ every day; you can spend time with Christ every day. This...

ALL WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE

In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Colossians 2:3 All wisdom and knowledge is in Christ. As a child of God you can never be any way disadvantaged in life, because the Bible declares that you know all things. There is no room for confusion. You can know what to do, how to do it, where to go and when to go. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. 1 John 2:20 If you were ever at loss, not knowing what to do or where to go, you can just ask Jesus and He will let you know what to do and where to go and He doesn’t make a mistake. When you follow Jesus, you will always be in the light. Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8:12 Jesus is your wisdom. You have the highest form of wisdom as a child of God. Your wisdom surpasses the wisdom of the world. You can make progress that cannot be matched by the world. B...

WE PREACH CHRIST

Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. Colossians 1:28 We preach Christ and Him crucified. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life no one comes to the Father but by Him. He is the only way to heaven. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one come to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 When Jesus was here on earth, He stressed that we must be born again. We must believe in Him and receive Him as our Lord and Savior, thereby receiving a new life; the life of God in our spirits. Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3 There is no other name under heaven given us whereby we shall be saved. Salvation is in Jesus Christ alone and not in religion or attending church. You must have a personal relationship with Jesus. Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no oth...

WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:12-13 Salvation is a big word and it includes all the things that Christ died for you to have. Work out your own salvation by doing God’s will, being obedient to Him. You take possession of what belongs to you by living a life of obedience to God. When you live a life of obedience to God you activate the blessing of God in your life. It will be evident to all that you are blessed, when you live a life of obedience. Obedience is the key to living the blessed life. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land. Isaiah 1:19 Things will begin to work when you work out your own salvation; things will begin to work when you live a life of obedience to God. There is usually a clear distinction to the obedient...

BE A TEAM PLAYER

Fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Philippians 2:2 Be united with other believers and do what your leader tells you to do. The only time you are not supposed to obey your leader is if he or she is asking you to do what is contrary to the Word. Other than that, be agreeable and obey spiritual instructions. There is unity when we all obey spiritual instructions, we can all flow in one direction. We can definitely achieve more when we are united. We can readily make progress when we are united. Nothing can stop us when we are united. And the LORD said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing they propose to do will be withheld from them. Genesis 11:6 When we are divided there is hardly any progress. There is weakness when we are divided and we are susceptible to attacks. However, united we can stand, overcome and move forward. But Jesus knew their thoug...

YOU REPRESENT JESUS

Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel. Philippians 1:27 You represent Christ on earth so let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ. Represent Jesus well so that people may be susceptible to receive the good news of the kingdom. Live a life of sacrifice for the sake of winning others to Christ. The aim is to win souls and lead many to righteousness; to depopulate hell and populate heaven. Did you know that when you win souls and lead many to righteousness you make God rich? When you make God rich, He does not have a problem making you rich. A wise man once said, “A millionaire is someone who has impacted a million lives!” How many lives do you want to impact with your lifestyle and your gift? How many people do you want to impact with your character and excellence? Advance God’s kin...
