Abide in Christ

 There is no peace, no joy, no true goodness outside of Christ. Many are looking for these things from sex, drugs, alcohol, money etc.. but will not find it. These things bring more sorrows to our lives πŸ˜” Jesus tells us to abide in His love ❤ and then we will bear fruit πŸ‡, fruit of the Spirit, love, peace ,joy. Only by remaining in Christ 's love do we develop these wonderful fruits   And how do we abide in Christ's love ❤πŸ€”? By spending time with Him in prayer daily πŸ™πŸΎ. By reading the Bible daily, meditating on what you read and asking yourself how do these things apply to me πŸ€”?  As I  abide in Christ daily, I will see clearer my evil character traits and then I will pray Lord, help me to be more like you, help me to be as loving as you, helping to be like you πŸ™πŸΎ.  Then I will bear much fruit πŸ‡ In these last days as we are dealing with economic recessionπŸ’Έ, pandemic 😷, wars πŸ’‚πŸΎ‍♂️, mental health crises 😰 etc.., only those who abide in Christ's love will be at pe

Preparing for battle

 When do you prepare for war πŸ’‚πŸΎ‍♂️πŸ€”? When the enemy is at gates or in a time of peace πŸ€”? Well, I read a story about the Libyan government trying to prepare for war when the civil war started in 2011.  The government was trying to buy around 120 armored fighting vehicles for around 28 million dollars. The person who was responsible to buy it, soon betrayed the government and join the rebel movement πŸ˜”. The Libyan government lost the civil war πŸ’‚πŸΎ‍♂️ The lesson here is one shouldn't prepare for war when the enemy is at the gates. I'm not saying they lost the war just because they didn't get those armored vehicles, there were many other factors such as NATO's military intervention on behalf of the rebels, but the government was not prepared for the war. And so it is with many of us spiritually. We live as if this world🌍 is a peaceful place and not a battlefield πŸ’‚πŸΎ‍♂️, so when temptations and difficulties suddenly come upon us, we are  overcomed, defeated by the ene

Murdered by lies

 Lies are dangerous! No, lies are deadly πŸ’€. Lies kill. Jesus said the Devil 😈 was a murderer from the beginning and is the Father of lies. All who practice lying are his spiritual children. Do you practice lying friends πŸ€”?  Lying has 2 objects in view. Someone else and you. The Devil 😈 has 2 people in view when he lies. He wants to distort your view of God or your view of yourself. And if He can distort your view of God, then he will kill you πŸ’€. Which leads us to mental health crises 😫. Mental health issues are Satan's assaults on our minds. Many mental health problems we have are the results of believing lies, lies about God, lies about yourself and lies about others. Lies such as God doesn't care about me What you believe will influence your actions and if you believe lies about God, your self and others, your actions will be destructive. Do you believe you are worthless πŸ€”?  Do you believe you are alone, no one cares ? Then you may see nothing wrong with suicide πŸ”ͺπŸ’€ S

King David's big mistake 🀴🏾

 King David sinned against God when he had sexual relation with someone he wasn't married to . He had sex with Bathsheba,  the wife of one of his elite soldiers, Uriah the hittite.  Sin is always treachery.  Treachery against God,  treachery against our fellow men. King David took advantage of Bathsheba,  betrayed God and Uriah . He didn't care about how they felt,  he only cared about his own satisfaction.  Then the women sent word that she is pregnant with David's child.  What David thought was a one night of pleasure became a serious problem.  Now he had to do something, because according to the Divine law, adulterers must be put to death. What will king David do ? Will he go to God and ask for guidance or will he try to take matters into his own hands and fix the situation? . He took matters into his own hands and had Uriah, the husband killed in battle . And this is what happens to many of us . When we fall into sin or make mistake, instead of going to God, repent and

Wives, submit yourselves unto your husbands, as unto the Lord πŸ‘°πŸ½

 Submission, submission 😬, the word many women dont want to hear πŸ‘‚πŸΎ in this generation. Submission is considered a bad word to many, but the Lord has commanded the wives πŸ‘°πŸ½ to submit to their husbands  Remember what said the other day, anytime God ask us to do something, it is not something we can do with our own strength πŸ’ͺ🏾, but something we must rely on Him for strength to do.  Submission is no different. The Lord knows it's not easy for a wife to submit to her husband πŸ˜” Since the fall in Eden 🌳, women are more interested in trying to rule over their husbands than to submit to their rule(Genesis 3:16). The women have a saying: husband may be the head, but the wife is the neck turning the man where she wants πŸ˜” As a result, marriages are full of conflicts. It is impossible to have a union between sinners if no one will submit to the other. God in His love and wanting us to be loving as Him, commands the husband to love the wife, but for the wife to submit to her husband.

Am I a murderer 😱☠?

 Are you a murderer is the question today ? Your response will be a quick no. How dare you ask such a question, I have never murdered anyone, and i would never do such a wicked act. I am a good person, I'm not perfect, I try my best. But on close analysis you will see, I will see that we are guilty of murder and not the murder of anyone but the murder of the Son of God, Jesus Himself. It was sin that put Jesus up on that cross, my sins, your sins did it. To commit sin is to seek to murder God, sin is attempt to dethrone Him from your heart πŸ’” At some point in our lives, the question comes up, what shall I do with Jesus called the Christ? Matthew 27:22. Pilate asked the crowd that question, and the crowd responded crucify Him. Pilate say but Jesus is innocent, but the crowd say crucify Him Pilate tried to save Jesus but the issue came up that if He saves Jesus, He will lose his job. Pilate had a decision to make, my job or Jesus πŸ€”? Pilate decided on crucifying Jesus to keep his job
