TRUE DEFINITION OF LIFE

Text : John 10:10 ISV 

 *The thief comes only to steal, slaughter, and destroy. I’ve come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.* 

 *True definition of life comes through understanding, in ALL YOUR GETTING, GET UNDERSTANDING.* Prov. 4:7.

Since the fall of man, man has been living with the wrong definition of life. Man was not created for survival, this comes as a result of the fall. 

In Genesis 3, we saw that the ground was cursed for man's sake, because of disobedience. 

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Gen 3:17. 

 *No man can wriggle out of God's verdict except through Christ.* 

Through Adam, humanity has been living in death, and everything we refer to as life is actually death. 

 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:Rom 5:12.

Man would have been hopelessly, eternally doomed if not for God's love that made Jesus to come to the rescue of mankind. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.Joh 3:16.

Also, we are comforted to know that Just as sin entered the world through one man, and death resulted from sin, therefore everyone dies, because everyone has sinned. In the same way, life comes to those who receive the overflowing grace and the gift of righteousness through one man, Jesus the Messiah! Romans 5:14-21.

Whatever happens to anyone who is not in Christ, be it good or evil, it's all an experience in death. *The fact that a slave gives birth or buys a car doesn't change his status from being a slave. A rich slave is still a slave.* 

 *A dead man is a dead man regardless of what he puts on* . The only change of his name would be when he wakes up from the dead. 

Man's life is not defined by what happened around him but by what happened in him.True Life begins with Jesus.

Bible Reading : Mathew. 6:24-34. Rom. 5:12-21.

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...
