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...

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...
