The need for community 👥

 The Christian life is not easy. It is a battle and a March. And in every battle we need others to help us along. An army is not made up of one man 💂🏽‍♂️, an army is a community of people, who are together, fighting for a common goal.

You need a community. The idea of going it alone is not Christian, God made us social creatures. The Lord said " it is not good that man should be alone ", this does not simply refers to marriage but to life. We were designed for relationships, for community. The Christian life is about relationships, community 

It was when Eve was alone that the Devil 🐍 was able to tempt her and overcome her and so it is when Christian isolate themselves from community that the Devil is able to tempt them and destroy their faith. Show me a Christian who isolate him or herself and  you will see  someone who will soon apostasize

Community keeps us accountable, community strengthen us, community encourages us, community teaches us how to have relationships with others, community remove selfishness from us because we have to deal with people who are different, who see things differently from us. Those who reject community are easy prey for the Devil 😈

Friends, as we are living in these last days, many will become apostate, will abandon the assembly of the brethren and be easy picking for the Devil. But as for you, pray God for a godly community. Wherever you go, seek to develop spiritual communities, link up with people, do Bible study together, engage in activities together and you will grow spiritually. 

Dont fight against the Devil alone,  God wants us to fight together, to strengthen one another in the battle against sin. Jesus say abide in Him, He is the vine and we are the branches, all who are Christ's disciples will be part of a community, but all who reject godly community will find themselves withering slowly away from Christ and fellow believers 

So friends, pray for a godly  community, make friends with other Christians, have Bible study with other Christians, have weekly fellowship with them,share the struggles of the week with them and you will find yourself encouraged, strengthen in your walk with Christ. Do not forsake the assembly of the brethren, build communities.

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

True Riches

 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? (Luke 16:11) KJV New International Version So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? Would you want to be rich ? You may so know ,but truth is the majority of humankind would prefer to be rich then poor. And yet only a few people are rich while the rest are in the middle class or poor. Question? Which one would you rather be? 1. A farmer  2. A beggar I know the answer already. All of you would choose to be a farmer. Who in their right mind would want to be a beggar? A farmer provides to society and is a person who has resources; while a beggar, well, just begs and consumes. A farmer works hard to produce and provide, while a beggar waits for resources to be provided to him. One of the reasons rich people are few, is because it requires a lot of efforts to become rich. Supply chains While the beggar is waiti...

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's no healing. I pray to God for better finances but no money is forthcoming. I am so tired of these struggles. I am on the verge of given up. I might as 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 good. We had a great time in our youth, we believed in love, we believed that the future was bright, we felt whole as a person. But somewhere along the way harship showed up. An illness, a broken heart, the death of a loved one, broken aspiration sent us into despair and grief. Suddenly life becomes dark and hopeless. But somewhere along the way, we heard the voice of God. We hear someone preached, " come to Jesus and all will be well, come to Jesus and He will give you the desires of your heart." And so we come to Jesus hoping tha...
