STAY ON CHRIST

Text : Colossians 2:8.

Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

Once you have confessed Jesus Christ as your Saviour and your Lord, it is very important that you allow Him lead you and determine every details of your life.

 *Christ, and Christ alone is more than enough.* 

When you stay on Christ, you no longer draw your life principles from the philosophy or traditions of men. Christ simply becomes your standard and yardstick in all that you do.

So many people in the church today pray and hear God's words, but their day to day life are being guided by customs, traditions of men and rudiments of this world. They are  Saints in the church, but another thing entirely in their homes and places of work. 

They've got different faces. It ought not to be so! These are the people that are "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth" 2 Timothy  3:7.

For you to be able to stay on Christ as your life core and foundation, it is not by merely going to church and doing church activities. No! Not at all! 
Christ becomes your STAY, your ALL  and the CORE of your life. By learning from Him, we become like Him. You see, I did not say, "learning about Him" If all you do is to learn about Christ, you will not become like Him.

In Matthew 11:29, Jesus invited all to take His yoke and learn from Him.  
*"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."* 

One thing you need to know is that *Jesus Christ is not one of the religious leaders that lived on earth. No, that's not true. He is simply God that came to the earth to model the ideal man and life for mankind.* 

This is the reason you must stay on Him. He is the only man that has modelled how every single person on earth should truly live and serve God.

Would you allow Him teach you how to live as well?
Would you allow Him  at the very core and centre of your life?
Would you allow Jesus Christ become your entire culture, custom and philosophy?

 *If you are willing to make Jesus Christ your Lord indeed, then He must be LORD of ALL(every aspect of your life).* 

 *Bible Reading:*

 Philipians 3:3-10.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father, help me to be able to discern the Lordship of Christ in a new way, so that I may always stay on Him as my all in all.

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...
