“Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” ( I Corinthians 3:16‭-‬20 NKJV).

“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee sexual immorality.

Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s”. (I Corinthians 6:9‭-‬20 NKJV).

“Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.” See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God”. ( Ephesians 5:1‭-‬21 NKJV).

“If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them. But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.

Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all. Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.

But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him”. ( Colossians 3:1‭-‬17 NKJV).

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!!!

NO MATTER WHAT YOU GOING THROUGH. Know this:
2 Corinthians 4:7-15 says,
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So then death is working in us, but life in you. And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

A Word of Encouragement
1 Peter 4:8-11
8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus Loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

TO WALK RIGHT WITH GOD,YOU MUST LET GO OF UNGODLY THINGS.

“I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]. For by the grace (unmerited favor of God) given to me I warn everyone among you not to estimate and think of himself more highly than he ought [not to have an exaggerated opinion of his own importance], but to rate his ability with sober judgment, each according to the degree of faith apportioned by God to him”. (Romans 12:1‭-‬3 AMPC).

Colossians 3:5-10 says,
Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them. But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,

“I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.” (Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.) And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another. “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you”.
(Ephesians 4:1‭-‬32 NKJV).

Understanding What it Means to be GOOD and to do GOOD
+Understanding GOOD from God’s point of view.
+God is Good, Psalm 100:5, and in the Goodness of God is Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith.
God is Love, 1 John 4:8.
God is Truth, John 14:6.
God is Holy, Psalm 22:3
God is Righteous, Psalms 116:5
God is Faith, Galatians 2:20
+As Children of God our goodness must be the same as God’s Goodness.
+Remember nothing is GOOD unless it has Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith in it.
+For example if we do something in Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith and without Love it is not Good.
+The same principle applies if we do any combination of the four words and leave one out.
+Again nothing is Good by God’s standards unless it is done in Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

Psalms 29:11tells us that, The LORD will give STRENGTH unto His people. Then
Psalms 27:1says,the Lord is the STRENGTH of my life. However,
Ephesians 6:10 says,”Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the power of his might”. In Luke 10:19 Jesus gives us the power to tread on serpents,scorpions,and over all the power of the enemy,and nothing shall by any means hurt us. Are you aware of the power we have,and don’t utilize it. In Revelation 19:6. The Lord God is Omnipotent and He is the Strength of your life. This means that you have the Omnipotent Power of God in you.
What have you been doing with this Power? The Power of God is for you to live a Godly life on earth as if you are in Heaven. A life without sickness, disease, poverty, attacks from the devil and the list goes on.It’s time to put the Power of God to to work in your life. He said in 3 John 2 ” Beloved, I wish above all things,that thou mayest prosper and be in health,even as thy soul prosper” Is your soul prospering? Then use what God gives you for His glory.

You Don’t Have To Give Up
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2Corinthians 5:7
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
+Remember what it means to go through something. Going through means you are passing through, and since you are passing through do not stop. Keep marching forward like a soldier in the army of God and you will eventually come out of it, or it will pass you by.
+You cannot be defeated unless you allow it.
+Give the Lord all that He requires from you in Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith in Him.
+The battle is already won and Victory is yours.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

“Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall peris”.(Psalms 1:1‭-‬6 NKJV).

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit. “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 doing “. (Jeremiah 17:7‭-‬10 NKJV).

You are Blessed when you Believe in Jesus
John 6:37-40 (Jesus said)
…and they that come to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which sees the Son, and believes on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. Then He advises us in
John 14:1-3
Let not your heart be troubled: all of you believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there all of you may be also.
However,in Titus 2:13 it says, Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
•Stay ready for the coming of the Lord is near.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be the glory. Amen!

WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST. So use it
1Corinthians 2:16
For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Philippians 2:5
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
•The Mind of Christ, the Mind of God and the mind of the Holy Spirit are one and the same.
•Since we have the Mind of Christ we can think like Christ our Lord, we can think like God our Heavenly Father and we can think like the Holy Spirit.
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be all of you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that all of you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
•When we got born again our minds became renewed as a part of our new creation( 2 Corinthians 5:17). The new program for our minds is the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit in us enables us to think in the beautiful and awesome Mind of Christ.
•You have no mental deficiencies. Your have the wonderful, righteous, holy and awesome a mind of Christ.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

What is LIFE without the LOVE of God?
•Walking in LOVE is the basis to praise, worship, answered prayers, healing, deliverance, breakthroughs, and for the manifested presence of God in our lives.
•God will not receive our praise and worship if we are not walking in His LOVE, and neither will we get the things we desire of Him, if we are not walking in His Love.
Psalm 66:18
If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
Matthew 6:15
But if all of you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Matthew 5:24-24
Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has ought against you;
Leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

A Word of Encouragement
1 Peter 4:8-11
8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

Ephesians 4:17-24
This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

You are Fully Completed in Christ
Colossians 2:10
And all of you are complete in Him (Christ Jesus), Who is the head of all principality and power.
•You may have come into this world with some deficiencies but Christ in you is the ALL Sufficient One.
•Don’t focus on your deficiencies but focus on Christ who is your Sufficiency.
•You mean everything to God, and you are not just a Child of God, but a close intimate friend, John 1:12; 15:15.
•God loves you with the Highest and most powerful form of love which is Himself because God is Love, 1 John :4.
•God didn’t let you die in your sin. He sent His Son Jesus to die for you instead. In God’s Eyes, Heart and Mind you are worth dying for.
•God’s love for you is beyond awesome.
•Take this message for the rest of the week and meditate on it. Do not be burdened with the things your going through. Give it all to your Loving Heavenly Father in prayer and He will see you through.
Our God is Faithful.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

“He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, And He will pay back what he has given”. (Proverbs 19:17 NKJV).

“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” (Luke 6:38 NKJV).

“So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work”. (II Corinthians 9:7‭-‬8 NKJV).

We have more to give to others than we realized.
+Giving is not limited to monies and other material things.
+We can give Comfort, Hope,Prayers, Words of Encouragement, Visitations to other, and much more, but let all be done with the Love of Christ, and for the Glory of God.
1Corinthians 13:1-3
All that is done without LOVE is nothing and according to the Word of God, and it will not be counted by the Lord.
1John 3:18 v
My little children, let us not LOVE in word, neither in tongue; but in DEED and in TRUTH.
Colossians 3:17,23

17. And whatsoever all of you do in WORD or DEED, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.
18. And whatsoever all of you do, do it HEARTILY, as to the Lord, and not unto men.

    •BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

JESUS SHOULD BE FIRST IN YOUR LIFE…WHY ? BECAUSE, HE GAVE UP HIS LIFE FOR YOU.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed”… (John 3:16‭-‬20 NKJV)

The Lord Jesus Christ comes BEFORE all and He is ABOVE all.
+They who love the Lord put Him BEFORE all things and ABOVE all things.
Colossians 1:17, 18
17) And He (Christ Jesus) is BEFORE all things…
18) …that in all things he might have the PREEMINENCE.
PREEMINENCE: Surpassing all others in all things.
Pre:- before
Eminence:- above and highest rank in superiority.
+Always KEEP Christ our Lord Before and Above everyone and everything.
+Remember Jesus is not Lord AT ALL IF He is not Lord OF ALL.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
