ON A JOURNEY


Text : 1 Peter  2:11  

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

One of the major things you must understand is that,a everyone on this side of eternity is on a journey. We are all journeying as pilgrims and strangers through this earth to a final destination. 
Both the believers and unbelievers are altogether on a journey. While the unbeliever(sinner) is on a journey to eternal damnation, the believer is on a journey to eternal life.

Jesus Christ however has given us the life time opportunity to change the course and path of our journey during our life time. So if any sinner is willing, such can humbly accept the free gift of salvation by simply receiving the Lord Jesus Christ. (Rom. 10:9-10). 

The moment you receive Jesus Christ, your journey into eternal and everlasting life begins.  _And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life._ 1 John 2:25.

Apostle Peter in our text _'beseeched"_ the believers as strangers and pilgrims because they are on a journey (not just to heaven) but to inherit the very life of God just as Christ inherited it while on earth. And that is the reason, our call and destination is conformity to the Image of the Son of God. Rom. 8:28-29

One of the greatest undoing of believers in this generation is Settlement. We settle in material and mundane things as though that is the gain for our calling and election. 1Tim 6:5-8.

Don't get caught up in the Web. This place (earth) is only a passage to your eternal destination. When you go to the market you don't build empire for yourself at the market, you may shop as much as you want but you know you must return home.

You must carry with yourself this consciousness that you have been given the totality of your lifetime to journey onto eternal life. Let your gaze be on the destination and not on the passage. 


Bible Reading : Romans 8: 24-30.

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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
