Christ At The Center


The key to a victorious life is to have Jesus at the very center. It is only when Jesus is at the center of my life that I will have the peace of God. When Christ is at the center of my life, it means He has the highest priority and I do all things to please Him. Whether I eat and drink I will then do all for His glory. Many of us are not experiencing joy in the Lord because even though we go to church, self is at the center of our lives. We do everything to please self at the expense of Christ. How to put Christ at the center of my life is our topic for today

Our hearts have place for only one ruler🤴🏾! Either Jesus or self will rule my heart. We all were born with self as the ruler of our hearts. You can see in a new born baby. A baby has no concern for the welfare of his mother. A baby only cares about me. I want milk and I want it now! I want to sleep and I want to now. All humanity are selfish in nature and unless there is a profound transformation in the heart, unless Christ comes in and overthrow the tyrant self from the throne of my heart, I will live life only to please myself. Even the good I do will be about pleasing self or promoting self.
We are all selfish by nature 

How do I know if self is enthroned in my heart 🤴🏾? I know self is enthroned in my heart when I am my highest priority. When what I want and need are my driving force. I want to go there, I want to marry this person, I want to divorce my spouse, I want to buy this house, I want to cut off this friend, I want to be happy, I I I, it's all about my want, my needs and my desires. The desires of God only comes into play if it will help my desires. So I go to church because I think God will bless me. I pray because I want something from God. I want God to be the vehicle for my success. When self is in charge, disaster will surely follow 

But when Christ is at the center my life will experience a revolution. Now before I do anything, I will go to the Lord and ask for His counsel and guidance. How do I know when Christ is at the center of my life ? It is when I'm looking for a spouse 👰🏽 and say Lord, I want a spouse, make me ready for one and choose one for me when the time is right and help me be a blessing to my spouse . Lord I want a job, prepare me for one, choose one for me and help to be a witness for you there . Lord I have plan to move there, but only allow it of it will please you. Lord, help me to dress in a way that pleases you. Lord, help me to eat healthy because my body is your temple. 

Lord, keep me from sinning against you for I am yours and your mines and  I want to be faithful to you ❤.  I know Christ is at the center of my life because when I'm having a good day I say thank you Jesus and when I am having a bad day I say help me Jesus. Christ is at the center of my life when I involved Him in every decision that I make whether big or small. Christ is at the center of my life when it's no longer I that live but Christ who lives in me. As I involve the Lord in all that I do, then self is being dethroned and Christ is being enthroned 🤴🏾, now His peace will flow through my life because His kingdom of peace is reigning in my soul. Christ at the center is the  way to peace


Galatians  2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

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 ...
