ON A JOURNEY

Text :1 Pet 2:11.

 *Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;* 

 *Our calling as Christians is a calling unto pilgrimage. We are on a journey. You must daily live in the consciousness of this.* 

Pilgrims are people who are willing to constantly engage in migration from one place to another. 

A Christian pilgrim is one who is on a journey of migrating from the old man to the new man until he comes to the  measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. 2 Cor. 5:17. Eph. 4: 13,22

We must constantly migrate from one dimension of spiritual perspective as revealed by the Spirit to another and yet to another, with the aim of becoming like Christ. 

 *When you are cognizant of the fact that you are on transit here on earth, it will reflect in your attitude towards all things.* 

This world's system is designed to make people focus on things on earth only. But as a person who knows that he is on pilgrimage, you must strive to live against the tides of this world. 

 *If after you have given your life to Christ, you refused to journey towards the salvation of your soul,  you are already sliding back.* 

To slide back is to stop walking towards the Salvation of the soul. In this journey, there's no static ground it's either you are progressing in your walk of faith towards becoming like Christ, or you are sliding back to perdition. 

But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.Heb 10:39.

1 Peter 1:9 says Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. That is, the end of your faith is the Salvation of your soul. 

Being born again is not an end in itself, it's a means to an end. The end is to get your soul to attain to the same status your spirit attained at new birth. This is your duty as a Christian. 

Bible Reading : Hebrew 6:1-6.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
