Endure to the end 🧗🏾‍♂️

 The Christian life is not a sprint 🏃🏾‍♂️,but a marathon 🚶🏽‍♀️. It's a long journey and it's a journey that requires endurance, perseverance and relentless advancement. For it is a journey from sin to holiness, from Babylon to the New Jerusalem, from earth to heaven.

Many comes to Jesus expecting to be delivered from suffering while holding on to sin. Jesus did not come to save us from suffering, but from sin which is the root cause of sufferings. These comes to Jesus expecting to be delivered from problems, but give up on Christ when they see that their problems have only increased. The Bible say all who will live godly will suffer persecution.

Deliverance from sin is not done in one day. Forgiveness of sin is done the moment you ask God for forgiveness, but deliverance from the power of sin can take a life time. Imagine being a liar all your life, it may take many agonizing prayers and trials before truth is established in your inward parts.

Sinful habits take time to undo and God uses natural process of growth 🌱 to grow the new life in the believer. So those who come to Jesus and expecting quick transformation, quick victories over sin, quick deliverance from suffering will be disappointed and overcomed by Satan's temptations. 

It took time for you to become the person that you were before you came to Christ and it will take time for God rewire your sinful habits and ways. While God can change us in a moment, He has chosen the method of seed growing as the way to grow faith in us 🌱

So friends, do not be deceived, coming to Jesus is not the end of the process, but the beginning. Coming to Jesus is not the end of suffering, but the beginning of true warfare between you and Satan 👿, you and the flesh, you and the world.  Coming to Jesus is the beginning of your marathon to heaven 🚶🏽‍♀️

So friends, you must persevere. Persevere in spending time with God daily, persevere in reading the Bible daily, persevere in true prayer daily, persevere in asking God for the power to resist sin daily, persevere in praying for the Holy Spirit daily, persevere until the very end and you will be saved. Endure to the end 🙏🏾

Matthew 24:13

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved

The sanctuary in Heaven

Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. 9 "According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture. Exodus 25:8,9 God told Moses to build him a sanctuary according to the pattern that he sees. Does that mean God created a blue print for him or is it a pattern of something in heaven? Copy of the True Tabernacle The sanctuary that they built in the wilderness is a copy of the one that is in heaven. Yes there is a sanctuary in heaven. So if there is a sanctuary in heaven , does that mean there is a High Priest also? They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." Hebrews 8:5

Is the United States a Christian nation?

 Why calling the United states a Christian country is detrimental to Christianity.  The United states was clearly influenced by Christian principles; The pilgrims were escaping persecutions from Europe and while many of them practiced Christianity, they were still suffering persecution in Europe from state churches. The founding fathers, some being Christians, made sure to separate the church from the state. They well knew of the carnage that comes as a result of having a state religion. And so, the US became one of the rare countries without a state religion. Each person was left to follow the dictate of his own conscience.  When you call a country by a specific religion, people associate all of its behaviors with said religion. Note this example: Slavery was an institution in the United states; this would also mean that the brutality of slavery was accepted a Christian precept. Even the mistreatment of the Indians would have been considered a Christian precept. In fact,...

When God calls you. The fiery way to God

 "Why is my life so hard? Why are these things happening to me? I pray to God for healing, but there is no healing. I pray for better finances, but no money is forthcoming. I am so tired of these struggles; I am on the verge of giving up. I might as well live life the way I want to and hope to die soon. Have these thoughts ever come to your mind? These are thoughts many will encounter as they ascend the mountain of God. For many of us, life began well. We had a great time in our youth; we believed in love, we believed the future was bright, and we felt whole as a person. But somewhere along the way, hardship showed up. An illness, a broken heart, the death of a loved one, or broken aspirations sent us into despair and grief. Suddenly, life became dark and hopeless. But then, we heard the voice of God. We heard someone preach, 'Come to Jesus and all will be well; come to Jesus and He will give you the desires of your heart.' So we came to Jesus, hoping that we were back on ...
