CONFESSION

Text: Hebrews 10:23.

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

While confession could mean opening up one's sin, error, or  mistake before God or man, the confession mentioned in our text (Hebrew 10:23) is not just limited to  confession of sins or wrongs. This confession in our text derives its origin from the Greek word, 'homologeo'. which means to agree with, to concede or to profess.

The scripture encourages us to hold fast the confession of our faith without wavering. Since your faith is rooted in hope which is the anchor of your soul, it is important that you keep professing God's promises without wavering. 

God the Father wants you to continually profess your hope in the Lord Jesus Christ. This is because; it is the hope of your salvation (1Thessalonian 5:8); it is the hope of eternal life (Titus 1:2); it is the hope that is laid up for you in heaven(Colossians 1:5); it is the hope of the appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. It is this hope that purifies you even as He is pure (1John 3:3).

You must put your faith and hope in the LORD, for He who has promised is faithful. *Even when your situations appear to be hopeless and  tough, you must always remember that God never fails, hence you must remain immovable, hoping against hopelessness.

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...
