CALLED TO BE SAINTS

TEXT: 1 Corinthians1:2   Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:*  Many believers struggle with identity, not because God has not spoken clearly, but because they listen more to culture, weakness, and past failures than to God’s Word.  Scripture does not describe believers as sinners trying to become saints; it calls them saints who must live according to who they already are in Christ. The moment you were born again, you were sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be a saint. This calling defines your true identity. Your life is meant to flow from this divine calling, not from human limitations or excuses.  God never calls a man into a state He does not empower him to live in. Do not be deceived into thinking that holiness is impossible or that perfection is unattainable. God’s standard has not chang...

HIS PRESENCE.

TEXT: Psalms 16:11  You will show me the path of life: in your  presence is fullness of joy; at your  right hand there are pleasures for evermore.  *God's presence is far better than his presents(gifts)* It is therefore better to desire the presence of God much more than His gift.  Moses, having walked with the Lord for many years, having seen and experienced the greatness of God and his power, however requested for the manifest presence of God to go with them on their journey. Moses said to the LORD, "See, You say to me, 'Bring up these people.' But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight. And He said, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest. Then he said to Him, "If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here."' (Exodus 33:12-15). Moses sternly demanded that if the LORD Himself would not go with them on their journe...

REMARKABLE TRANSLATION-2.

TEXT: Colossians 1:13. Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: The Son of God gave us redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins. (Colossians 1:14).  Through the precious blood of Jesus Christ, you were brought into God's kingdom.  The blood of Jesus Christ is the offering that  brought us near to God (into God's kingdom). Ephesians 2:13 says that you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. The blood of Jesus  Christ is the token that facilitates your translation into God's kingdom. The blood of Jesus Christ therefore must be highly regarded as a powerful and potent offering that delivered you from the power of darkness.  As a believer you must learn to always plead the blood of Jesus Christ, as it is still in force both in heaven and on earth. Now that you are in God's kingdom, you must continually resist every projection and assault from the power of d...

REMARKABLE TRANSLATION

TEXT: Colossians 1:13. Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: As a true believer and child of God, you must know that something remarkable happened to you when you were born again by the Spirit. The very moment you committed your life into the hands of Jesus as your Savior and Lord,  a remarkable shift took place.  You were translated from the power of darkness into God's kingdom. At New birth, you were released from the grip of the power of darkness.  Every single person in this world at first birth(through the flesh), came under the power of darkness, but at second birth (through the Spirit), we come under the dominion of God's kingdom. (John 3:3-5, Ephesians 2;1-3) With this understanding, you must know that you are no longer under the rulership of the Prince of the power of the air, that is, the devil.  Therefore, you must continually  keep your walk in obedience to God, in order to continuall...

SUFFERING FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS

TEXT: Matthew 5:10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Suffering is something we naturally try to avoid, yet Jesus teaches that there is a unique blessing attached to suffering for righteousness’ sake. This kind of suffering does not come from wrongdoing or poor choices, but from standing firm in truth, obedience, and godly values in a world that often resists them. When you choose integrity over compromise, holiness over popularity, and obedience over convenience, opposition may arise. You may be misunderstood, mocked, rejected, or even persecuted. But Scripture assures us that God sees every tear, every insult, and every silent endurance. None of it is wasted. Righteous suffering refines our faith. It draws us closer to Christ, who Himself suffered unjustly, Isaiah 53:3.  As we endure, we become living testimonies of God’s grace and power. The world may see weakness, but heaven sees faithfulness. Ask yourself, 'Am ...

WELL OF SALVATION

TEXT: Isaiah 12:3 “ Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.” *Salvation is not a dry experience; it is a living well.* God does not merely save us and leave us empty, He invites us to continually draw from what He has already provided.  The well of salvavtion is deep, eternal, and inexhaustible. It contains forgiveness, peace, healing, strength, wisdom, and joy. However, the Scripture reveals something important: we must draw. God provides the well, but we are responsible for approaching it with faith and joy.  Many believers are  thirsty, not because the well is empty, but because they stop drawing.  Fear, guilt, sin, busyness, or spiritual laziness can keep us away from the well. Drawing from the well of salvation requires intentional fellowship with God, through prayer, the Word, worship, and obedience.  As we come daily, joy replaces heaviness, strength replaces weakness, and hope rises again. The more we draw, the more refreshe...

DISTRACTIONS 2

TEXT: Hebrews 12:1–2 “ Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…”*  It is important to understand that distractions do not always come as sin. Many times, they come as weights, things that are not wrong in themselves, yet they slow us down and drain our strength. A weight is anything that reduces your speed, clarity, and sensitivity to God. It could be excessive engagements, unnecessary relationships, endless social media consumption or engagement, or even good activities done at the wrong time.   *Not everything that is permissible is profitable. Not everything good is God’s will for you*  Distractions thrive where there is no clear vision. When you are not sure of where you are going, everything will look important. .  Once God shows...
