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...

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...
