DON’T FORGET GOD

Why accept all His tangible gifts,and reject His only begotten Son? Sometimes we let the abundance of God’s gifts cloud our judgements, and lead us down the wrong path, thus separating us from the giver who is God, It also tarnish the gifts, ruins Jesus Holy Name, and the believers credibility. We as Christians, must learn to escape the corruption of this world,which is publicize by its evil desires,”For God giveth to a man who is good in His sight, wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner He giveth travail, to gather and heap up”..( Ecclesiastes 2:26).”Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; But the Lord pondered the hearts (Proverbs 21:2).

Let me explain something to you, when you allow God’s word to fill your memory, rule your heart, and guide your life, sin will not have dominion over you, that’s why David said, “Hide God’s word in your heart, so that you will not sin against Him(God)'(Psalm 119:11),then he said,”God’s word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path(Psalm 119:105),yes , David messed up on many occasions ,but he was man enough to admit it,confess it,and beg for forgiveness,David knew the power and might of the God he serve,he knew without God ,he would perish;that’s why he was always seeking forgiveness(Psalms 51:1-10;Psalms 86).

Repentance ,clears the way for God to work with you,for Him to operate on you;it allows you to submit to God and resist the devil,so that he will flee(James 4:7);Repentance also put you back in right standing with God; a right relationship,that’s why David said,’Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me (Psalms 51:10).Remember Your body is the temple of God,we are joined to God in one spirit,we were bought with a price;therefore we should glorify God in your body and in your spirit,which are God’s( 1 Corinthians 6:15-20).

 I deliberately ,use  King David,as an example because he was a man who followed ,obeyed,praise and worship God with all his heart,he walked in integrity ,and uprightness most of the time from a teenager,who was a shepherd boy to the king of Israel,until he died(1 Kings 9:4),he was not perfect,but God chose his bloodline to introduce Christ Jesus ,because the heart was willing to serve God above everything and everybody. But Jesus was perfect and without sin,He never forget God the Father,that’s why Jesus was always praying,consulting with God on everything.

Do you know the God I am talking about,or His only begotten son,Jesus Christ?if not then go to the top of this blog,click on to the salvation page,and follow the instructions,it will be the best thing you ever did.All glory,praise,honor,and thanks go to God for using me to share this message with His people.

BEING STRONG IN GOD

2 Corinthians 10:3-6
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled”. I always admire soldiers, they are strong,and always ready for any type of attack from the enemy, they are trained to be on alert at all times. Now as soldiers in the army of the Lord we are also required to be strong, sober, and vigilant, because our adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion walking about, seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). This is what is puzzling to me, the soldiers of the world,train daily, clean, and sharpen their weapons regularly, so why aren’t the soldiers in the army of the Lord doing the same thing; we too should be praying, fasting, meditating, and studying Gods word to show ourselves approved unto God, a soldier that is not ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth ( 2 Timothy 2:15).

How can you be victorious,and a conqueror if you are not prepared, that’s why so many Christians are defeated today, and is incapable of submitting to God, and resisting the devil, so he can flee( James 4:7); that’s why they have no power to tread upon serpents, and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, where nothing can hurt you ( Luke 10:19).

Lets do the maths , no word + no faith = no power; little word + little faith = little power; plenty word +plenty faith=plenty power;  No prayers = no answers; No God + no Jesus = death. God + Jesus=eternal life. Gods word is not chained or hidden from the christian,so lets exercise our rights as children of the most High God. “But if our gospel be hidden, it is hidden to them that are lost, in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them who believe not”…( 2 Corinthians 4:3-6).

Soldiers don’t run around aimlessly, they know their duties,so why are the Christians running to and fro, carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men ,and cunning craftiness, by which they lie in wait to deceive (Ephesians 4:14). We as Christians need a reality check, and make sure we are walking circumspectly not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil (Ephesians 5:15-16).

Your duty is to please God only,your aim is to be a disciple of Jesus Christ our Commander in chief, anything or anyone else is insignificant. We are followers of Christ, which makes us fishers of men. A soldier in Gods army don’t get tied up in the affairs of this life, we endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ ( 2 Timothy 2:3-4)

If you don’t know God or His only begotten son, Jesus Christ then you are lost,and you belong to the devil, so change your life, and circumstances, go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, then follow the instructions, it will be the best decision you ever make. I give God the glory, praise, honor, and thanks for using me to get his message out to His people, I pray that you will be strong in the grace, that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory, amen.

A PATH OF DESTRUCTION

2 Timothy 3:1-5
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
It’s amazing how people don’t realize that the events that took place centuries ago are still happening today. All the devil did was just change the name to make it appealing to every generation. There were false prophets among the people then, just as there are false prophets and teachers now. False prophets and teachers are among those who secretly introduce destructive heresies, deny the sovereign Lord who made them, and are oblivious of the fact that they bring swift destruction on themselves.

Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful immorality, and because of them, Jesus  Christ and his truth is slandered. In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold  of your money. But God condemned them long ago and their destruction is on the way. For God did not spare even the angels when they sinned, He cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment (2 Peter 2:1-4).

We are living in the last days, as most of us who are not blind can see. That’s why the Bible reminds us in 2 Peter 3:3-4 that in the last days there will be scoffers (mockers, people who don’t care) who will laugh at the truth, and do every evil thing they desire; This will be their argument: “Jesus promised to come back, did He? Then where is He? Why, as far back as anyone can remember, everything has remained the same since the world was created?” However, if they follow the course of history and allow God to reveal His truth they would see the changes, because the natural man can’t receive the things of the Spirit of God, because they are foolishness to him (1 Corinthians 2:14).

For all those people who are searching for the Messiah and other ways to God, Jesus said it best in John 5:39-43,

“You search the scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life, and these are they which testify of me, but you are not willing to come to me that you may have life. I do not receive honor from men, but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you; I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me; but if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.”

People in the latter days underestimate the power of God, totally forgetting or disregarding the fact that God did not spare the ancient world, except for Noah and his family of seven(Genesis 6-8). Noah warned the world of God’s righteous judgment, then God destroyed the whole world of ungodly people with a vast flood. Later He (God) turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into heaps of ashes, and swept them off the face of the earth, this you can read in Genesis 19. This was an example of what will happen to ungodly people; however He did rescue Lot who was righteous (2 Peter 2:5-10).

The Lord knows how and when to rescue godly people from their trials, even while punishing the wicked straight up to his return and judgement day. Matthew 5:19-20 tells us that,

“Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of Heaven; But whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of Heaven. For I say unto you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of Heaven.”

Which path are you on? What is your excuse now? What will it take? How long must God wait for you? Listen time is running out. Look around you, are things getting better or worse, doesn’t same-sex marriages remind you of Sodom and Gomorrah? Well if you are interested in turning your life around go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions. This is not the time to play with God. Now unto Him who is able to keep us from falling and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God, Our Savior, be glory, honor, praise, and thanks for using me to minister to His people. To Him belong  majesty, dominion, and power now and forever. May He also grant His children the spiritual wisdom, knowledge, and understanding as they receive His word, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU

Eyes have not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of men, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him; But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, yes the deep things of God.               – 1 Corinthians 2:9-10

Sorry but if you don’t know God through His only begotten son Jesus Christ, then you will NEVER know what God really has in store for you. John 14:6 tells us that Jesus is the way, the truth,  the life and no one gets to God without going through the chain of command.

Listen to these verse and understand the words;

“For since the beginning of the world, men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen, any God, besides you, who acts for the one who waits for Him” (Isaiah 64:4).

“Even the mystery which hath been hidden from ages and from generations is now manifested to His (God) saints” (Colossians 1:26).

Are you one of His saints? If Jesus returns right now will you go with Him? Now is not the time to play church and put yourself above others. Isaiah 40:31 puts it this way:“But those who wait on the Lord, shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall  run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”

In Jeremiah 29:11-13 it gives greater meaning by telling us,”For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future, then you will call upon me, and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you, you will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart..”(NIV).

To receive what God has for us we need to accept His gift of love which is His only begotten son Jesus Christ. We need to believe that God raised Him from the dead. Realize and understand that what God has for us is eternal life and His son Jesus Christ is the only way in. John 14:6, says what? It says “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me.”

Jesus said it, I believe it, and that is all I need to hear to believe it! How about you? When we seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness first that is when we will receive all the added things God has for us (Matthew 6:33). Do you still want what God has ready for you?

Every good and perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variable neither shadow of turning (James 1:17).

The first gift is Jesus Christ. If you are interested in knowing Jesus and our father almighty start by going to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions. It will be the best gift you have ever accepted and received. For further studies, teachings and everything else you would like to know about God you have a chance. All praises, glory, honor and thanks go to God who has made it possible for me to share this message with His people. I pray that He will open the eyes that are blinded by their conceit, greed and sureness. I pray that God will open the ears that are clogged due to sacrilegious music and soften the hardened hearts of those who have lost faith or have never experienced it. I pray for all this so they can receive this message. In Jesus name I say, Amen.

WRONG CHOICES

Have you ever make decisions in your life that you later regret, you just wish you could see the future, or read someones mind, even just a glimpse of the intents, contents, and desires of their hearts. But, would it have really made a difference, because sometimes,if not all the times we see the writing on the wall, or signs that this will not work, yet we ignore it, and do our own thing. Most of us spend all our lives trying to fix broken things, yet failing to realize that if God is not the glue that will hold it together, then you are wasting your time. However,if we just do as God suggest in Proverbs 3:5-8
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones”. Because He knows the hearts of people as Jeremiah 17:9-10 says,
“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the Lord , search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.

It’s amazing, how many times the devil leads us to think that our looks, money, or body will change a person, failing again to see that if God is not the catalyst for change, you might as well give up, because every opportunity the devil gets, he is going to shred it like paper.

The beauty about a child of God in situations like these,is that God promise never to leave or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5), and a whole lot more,but child of God; Listen, if you don’t know Gods promises how are you going to overcome the struggles,fights,trials,and tribulation that the enemy is throwing at you. How can you go to war without weapons,you can’t go in a boxing ring to fight without arms, so, how do you expect to defeat the devil without the word of God planted in you,without the Holy Spirit residing in you,without even accepting Gods gift of His son Jesus Christ,without living Holy and righteous,without presenting your body as a living sacrifice,holy and acceptable unto God,which is your reasonable service;and be not conformed to this world,but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,that you may prove what is that good,acceptable,and perfect will of God ( Romans 12:1-2). Now you tell me,how do you expect God to clean up your mess,your problem,your trials, if you are not serving Him? Does that, even make sence to you?Let me tell you something if you are not living right,having sex out of marriage,lying,stealing,cheating,etc.etc.you might as well stop praying;because it is written:”The effectual,fervent prayers of the righteous availed much” ( James 5:16).”For the eyes of the Lord, are over the righteous,and His ears are open unto their prayers”      ( 1 Peter 3:12).Well I am not going to belabor the point you got the message,God takes care of those who seek,love,and live for Him in all aspect of their lives. If for whatever reason you don’t know God or His only begotten son,Jesus Christ,go to the top of this blog,click on to the salvation page,then follow the instructions,it will be the best choice you ever make,drop me a note if you need help,connecting with the right people or getting help knowing Christ Jesus. I sincerely give God the glory,praise,honor,and thanks for using me to get His message to His children,I pray it bless you as it did me,and you will obey His will and ways or commands.

THE SIGNS OF LIFE

Wrong way;do not enter;yield,what will be the consequences if we disobey these road signs?death,disfigurement,or paralysis,but sometimes it’s devastating.On the road of life there are highways and by-ways, so when we run out of gas we always stop by a gas station with a convenient store, not only to get gas but snacks.Now on the highway to heaven as Christians we have to stop by our convenient store called church to fill up with the word of God,and pick up a few scriptures to snack on; like yield not your body as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin, but yield it unto God (Romans 6:13).

Just like the convenient store all kinds and types of people go in for different reasons and different things, it’s the same way with church, all kinds of people go there for different reasons and different things. Why is it that when we are driving we obey the road signs to avoid an accident, but we refuse to obey God’s word, in order to avoid sinning, we submit to the road signs, but we can’t submit to God, and resist the devil so that he can flee(James 4:7).

To get our drivers license we have to read, and study the drivers manual to take a written test to get our permit to operate a motor vehicle, then we get a few practice lessons, before we take the road test. So why can’t we be as enthusiastic to read the Bible, and study to show ourselves approved unto God, a workman who is not ashamed, to rightly divide the word of truth( 2 Timothy 2:15). Then, when taking the road test we must obey all the road signs, and apply all the rules of the road that we learned in the drivers manual, in order to pass the test; which rewards us, or qualifies us to own and operate a motor vehicle.

 Now as Christians, to exercise and operate in our God-given gifts, anointing, and power we have to also obey, and follow the rules of the Bible. Wrong way;Wide roads lead to destruction; narrow roads leads to life(Matthew 7:13-14). We should always go down Jesus way, which turns into truth lane, and takes us onto the highway to life (John 14:6), or if you choose differently, you can take sin street straight down to death lane (Romans 6:23)which is the wrong way;read the signs.But you shall receive power,after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you,and you shall be witnesses unto me,both in Jerusalem, in all Judea,and in Samaria,and unto the uttermost part of the earth(Acts 1:8).

It’s reassuring to known that God  created a way for us to get to Him, through His only begotten son Jesus Christ. Do you know Him? If you are interested go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, then follow the instructions. All praise, glory, honor, and thanks go to God for using me to get His word to His people.

DIVINE STANDARDS

Sin is disobedience against the divine will, and plans of God. Did you know that sin originated with the devil, or satan also know as lucifer, before he sinned (Isaiah 14:12-14). Because, he got kicked out of heaven, with no chance of ever returning, his sole purpose in life is to take as much people with him as possible, so he started with Adam and Eve (Romans 5:12; Genesis 3:1-7). Because of them, we are born sinful and shaped in iniquity (Psalm 51:5), that’s why it is written,”All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23); So the question is? Who are you living for? Lets put sin into perspective, it is the blatant disrespect and disobedience against God’s will, the absence of righteousness from a person’s life, and the worse is hating God and His only begotten son.

 The wage of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23); Now why would someone not accept God’s gift of His only begotten son Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17, John 14:6),it just does not make any sence. Why do you choose to follow someone, who is doomed, and on a downward destructive path,  yes we were born in it, but we don’t have to live or stay in it. Are people that blind, that they fail to realize, that everything that glistens is not gold, can’t they see, understand or comprehend that misery loves company, so don’t accompany the devil to hell. If you want to know or feel where the devil is taking you, just stick your finger in a fire, or take a trip to the beach when it is 100 degrees outside, or fire up the oven to the maximum temperature and climb in,or when a volcano erupts don’t run,allow the lava to burn you,and you will get a taste of hell.Now think about it? Is that where you want to spend eternity. This is how you know if you are following the devil and is destined for hell: When you love, and follow your sinful desires, sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, anger, jealousy, selfish ambition, envy, drunkenness, etc.(Galatians 5:19-21)

Now can you say without a shadow of a doubt that you are following God’s will, and not the devil’s, listen, lets change your status right now, go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, then follow the instructions for starters, then allow the Holy Spirit to lead and direct you for the rest of your life, read, Romans 12 :1-2 as a motto for Godly living, find a church that shares your belief in God and His son Jesus Christ, then you are on your way. Trust me it will be the best thing you ever did. I give God the glory, praise, honor, and thanks for using me to get His message to His people.

DENOMINATIONS

Does the denomination you belong to,answers your prayers,or is it God,who does ?
Facts about Denominations
Matthew 12:25
