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...

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...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
