A CHRISTIAN 2


Text. Matthew 5:16.

In the same way, let your light shine before people in such a way that they will see your good actions and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Have you ever wondered why you were saved and your brother or sister that you were exposed to the same gospel together is not saved yet?

Why did God single you out among your siblings, friends, colleagues and within your neighborhood.? Why did you receive understanding to come to light and they did not? 

Well, mercy attended to your soul. He says in Romans  9:15  that, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So you should be eternally grateful for the mercy you have received.

Secondly, you were saved to bear fruit, so that through you, others will come to the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. You are where you are today so that your light might show unto others for them to see the glory of God, and come to light as well.

Jesus said in Acts 1:8 that, *But you’ll receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you’ll be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”* It's obvious that power was bestowed upon you so you could be His witness.

Again, He said in John  15:8 that " _Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples._ " 

So, your life as a Christian will bring glory to the Father when you bear fruit, and this goes to prove that you are Jesus' disciple indeed.

No one is satisfied with barrenness. If as a Christian your life is not producing fruit that will lead others to eternal life, then your Christianity is questionable.

Please, don't add to the statistics of already too numerous nominal Christians that are prevalent in our world today. Be a Christian indeed. 

Let the Holy Spirit have full expression in you, so that your life can bring sweet smelling savour unto the Father and eternal fruit unto people around you.

 Bible reading:

 Matthew 5:13-16.

 PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father, I receive the grace to remain in you so that my life can bear fruit unto eternal life.

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...
