Be valiant for the truth

 


Our world is sinking deeper into spiritual darkness. Falsehood has grown strong in the land. People don't want to hear the truth anymore and I'm not only speaking about spiritual truth but any truth at all. People love lies and deceits, because lies and deceits make them feel better about themselves. The truth is hard to swallow, so people hate the truth and many stay far away from it. Many call those who speak the truth, haters. When you tell them the truth, they say you are spreading negativity.

And so it is in this climate of falsehood that God has called us to be a witness for the truth. To proclaim the truth boldly, to attack the lies and set the captives free. The Christian must be valiant for the truth. The Christian cannot be a coward, for the Christian is a servant of God, a soldier of the Most High 💂🏾‍♂️ and as such he must follow the orders of His Sovereign. And the order the Lord has given us is to go throughout all the world to spread the gospel of  Jesus Christ and make disciples.

The Christian must be brave for he must preach the truth to a world that love lies, righteousness to a world that love sin and wickedness. The Christian must be brave for he must be able to face scorn and ridicules while calling sin by it's right name. The Christian must not spare, he must not show partiality,  but must preach the truth of God wherever he is sent or to whomever he is sent. The Christian must be valiant for the truth.

The Christian must resist the temptation to be a people pleaser when it comes to the truth . He must resist the temptation to preach what people want to hear, but preach what the Lord has commanded him. The Christian must not be afraid of losing friends or people being offended by the preaching of the truth. The gospel is naturally offensive to those who are in darkness, to those who hate the truth. Preaching the truth will naturally separate many people from you, but preach it  you must as a faithful soldier of the Lord 


And finally in order to be valiant for the truth, the Christian must be a man or woman of prayer 🙏🏾. The Christian must be connected with God, the source of all strength. It is only after we have bowed before the eternal King we will have the boldness, the firmness to stand against men, against overwhelming storm of wickedness and falsehood in the land. In daily communion with God the true Christian receive wisdom on how to speak, what to say and receive the strength to go out as valiant warrior to fight the battles. The true Christian is mighty because he or she abides under the shadow of the Almighty. 

Be valiant for the Lord, spread the truth near and far

" 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 ...
