THE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST BRING GLORY

Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory? Luke 24:26 Before glory come sufferings. Before victory come challenges. Challenges are opportunities to go to the next level, they are stepping stones. Challenges are not there to destroy you but to make you smarter, wiser and better. Those who live right go through challenges because the enemy is trying to stop them from living right. However, when they persevere, they enter into a glorious life. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:18 When you go through challenges don’t quit living right, endure until you enter into a glorious life. If we suffer with Christ, we shall be glorified with Him. Promotion comes from above, and it comes when you have passed the tests of life. Life is not smooth sailing; you will meet challenges and storms of life. However, you need to overcome and you have what...

GOD IS THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE

But, O LORD of hosts, You who judge righteously, testing the mind and the heart, let me see Your vengeance on them, for to You I have revealed my cause. Jeremiah 11:20 God is righteous which means God is always right, He doesn’t make a mistake and He is perfect. Only He can make accurate judgements and the above Scripture sheds some light why. It says that God tests the minds and the hearts meaning God sees beyond our words and actions, He sees the minds and the hearts. You cannot hide anything form God. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 The above Scripture lets us know that the Word of God can make a distinction between the soul and spirit and can discern your thoughts and your heart’s intentions. You see even the Word of God knows you. The following verse establishes this truth f...

ONE WAY JESUS

And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved. Acts 2:21 In the Old Testament the name Jehovah is prevalent. However, in the New Testament, we see the name Jesus being prevalent. Jesus is Lord. When we call on Him, we shall be saved. When you get born again, God saves you from going to hell and you are going to heaven. He saves you from sin and sin does not have dominion over you. He saves you from destruction and He gives you life. He saves you from God’s wrath and He will never be wrath with you. This is all because of what Jesus has done. He died for you and paid the price for you to be reconciled with God. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 Jesus is the way to the Father. It is in the define article, “the way” not “a way,” Jesus is the only way. Man through religion tries to get to God. However, God has provided a living way for mankind to have a relatio...

LIFE IS IN THE WORD

In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. John 1:5 Jesus is the One called the Word of God. He is the Word that became flesh. Life is in Him; life is in the Word of God. People everywhere are looking for life and they look for it in relationships, religion, achievements, material possessions and so forth. However, our opening Scripture gives us insight that life is not found in those things, life is found in the Word of God. The Word of God will give life to other areas of your life. That should tell you how absolutely vital and essential the Word of God is. Jesus said that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. The Word of God is of paramount importance. But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’” Matthew 4:4 Do you want life? Then go for the Word. Keep the Word first place and make it a priority in your life. Make the W...

KNOWLEDGE WILL EMPOWER YOU

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. Hosea 4:6 Some people are destroyed because of lack of knowledge of the Word of God. They walk in ignorance to God’s Word. They do not know what God has said in His Word and they are still in darkness. They are destroyed by poverty, sicknesses and the like. They are living in defeat and hopelessness. Nevertheless, God has given us His Word and victory is in His Word. He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Psalm 107:20 God sent His Word as an instruction manual to instruct us in godly living. He sent the Word to heal our broken bodies and to deliver us from destructive lives. Now we can live in peace, joy, prosperity, health and wholeness. When you have knowledge of the Scriptures that will put you at an advantageous position...

YOU LIVE IN THE ARK

Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted the ark, and it rose high above the earth. Genesis 7:17 When the Lord destroyed the earth with the flood, there was a flood for forty days and forty nights, Noah and his family where in the ark, as the water rose, the ark rose above the waters. As a child of God, figuratively, you live in the ark. The world around you may be going through trouble but you are safe in the ark. You are in the world but you are not of the world. When the world is going through trouble you just go upward and forward. You are resting in God’s grace and love. You have peace on the inside, you are untouched by trouble. There could be pestilence and famine going on around you but it will not come to you. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Psalm 91:7 Live in the secret place of the Most High, “in the ark,” in His presence and His glory. There no weapon forme...

REIGNING THROUGH JESUS

For if by one man’s offence death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17 When we believe in Jesus, we receive the gift of righteousness, righteousness is imputed to us and the when we spend time with Him, we receive grace to help in time of need. The more we spend time with Him the more we receive grace until we have abundance of grace and reign in life through Him. And of His fullness we have received, and grace for grace. John 1:16 Jesus has been given all authority and the authority that Adam lost He has restored back to us. We now have authority and dominion on the earth in His name. Whatever we bind on earth is bound in heaven and whatever we lose on earth is loosed in heaven. Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Matthew 18:18 It is time that ...
