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

Constantine won the battle and started on the path that led him to become the sole ruler of the Roman empire. But something interesting happened before the battle, Constantine who was a pagan at the time claimed to have received a vision from God. On October 27 with the armies preparing for battle, Constantine claimed to had a vision which led him to fight under the protection of  the Christian God. According to the message of Eusebius of Ceasarea, around noon, Constantine saw a luminous cross in the sky and under it the inscription in Greek," in this sign thou shalt conquer. " Constantine also claimed to had a dream in which Christ commanded him to use the sign of the cross against his enemies. Constantine became the first emperor to convert to Christianity.  He ended the policy of persecuting Christians and in 313...

Second Beast of Revelation Revealed part 1

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Revelation 13:11 This prophecy speaks about a nation rising at the end of time that will seem to represent Christ but will actually be against Him. In this small study, we will reveal that nation. Below are some symbolic terms in prophecy needed in order to follow this study. Beast : a political entity, a state or empire Earth : symbolizes a place that is not heavily populated, unlike the sea. The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."  Revelation 17:15 Horns : Horns represent kings and kingdoms, or governments.

The spiritual nature and the degradation of marriage

Man was made in the image of God.  What does it mean to be made in the image of God? What is God like ? The Bible says "God is a Spirit." What comes to mind when you think of a Spirit? You think of something not limited by physical restraints, something unseen, something greater than the physical.  God made man in His image, He made a spiritual being covered by an earthly body. We all have the breath of God within us, we all have a spirit within us. The spirit within is the real person, the character.  With the spiritual nature we relate to God and with the earthly nature we relate to the earth.  So let's break it down a little bit so we can understand . What are the things we find in the spiritual nature ?  In the spiritual nature we find love, patience, longsuffering, mercy etc.. The spiritual nature is all about relationships, that's the most important to the spiritual nature, its highest goal. Why do I say this ? Remember what we said in the beginning, "God ...
