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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
