It is so very vital and important for us to always walk right with God. There are so many benefits and rewards attached to walking right with God and pleasing God. Even though we should walk right with God because we love Him not because of benefits, however. God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him,
When you walk right with God, you will
1. Be protected
2. Experience the presence of God
3. Manifest the fruits of the Holy Spirit
4. Have long life
5. Receive answers to prayers
6. Have assurance of salvation
7. Have faith instead of fear
8. Be blessed
May the Lord of glory, help us to always walk right in Him and be quick to repent when we fall.
Pray without ceasing and never give up or loose your faith, trust, patience and perseverance. Persist and keep waiting upon the Lord.
The Bible instructs us to ask and pray. Prayerlessness is disobedience. Jesus started with prayer and ended with prayer. He was a man of prayer. Paul was also a man of prayer.
Prayer is spiritual war and God is a man of war. He teaches our fingers to fight. It is only through prayer that you can know God and do great exploits.
Be a warrior. Get to Christian Maturity and grow to sonship. Eschew mediocrity. Be victorious. Victory comes through prayer and dependence on God.
Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. (Romans 12:9 ESV)
We were created by love and we live to love. All our actions are empty and useless if they are devoid of love.
God is love. He has demonstrated His love for humanity when He sent Jesus to die in our place. He protects and provides for us by His love.
The only way we can please God is by true genuine love.
Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo (Romans 12:10 ESV)
God has given us the Holy Spirit and His grace is available. When the Holy Spirit controls us, we will not fulfil the lusts of the flesh. We will not fulfil hatred and every form of vice.
We are the ones who should submit and allow the Holy Spirit to crucify our human nature and bear fruit through us.
This Scripture instructs us to love always and it is possible by the help and grace of God.
May God’s great grace be upon us and enable us to please Him always.
Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14 NKJV)
It is very essential and vital for us to always pursue peace. Regardless of our personal differences, we should always show peace to others. Peace will come when we show love and justice to others.
We must also pursue holiness. This Scripture says that without holiness no one will see the Lord. If you want to experience victory, always pursue holiness. Hunger and thirst for righteousness. That is the key to true victory.
When you have learnt the secret of walking in the whole counsel of the word of God and in complete union with the will of God, you will be walking in the level of holiness that pleases God. You will experience the glory of God, when your heart is totally yielded to Him.
In complete surrender, submission and humility, we will find victory. That is the mindset of a Christian warrior.
And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. (Colossians 1:9 – 1:10 ESV)
Being filled with the knowledge of God’s will is very vital and essential to our Christian growth and walk with God. Knowledge, spiritual wisdom and understanding precede the ability to please God.
We cannot bear complete fruit without having complete or thorough knowledge of the word of God – discerning between good and evil. Lack of knowledge can actually turn things upside down in our minds and we will be displeasing God, thinking that we are being holy and righteousness
Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop–a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. Matthew 13:8
Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. acts 18:24
For instance, the Bible clearly tells us not to be unequally yoked with idol worshippers but Christians ignore this, and try to prove that they know more than God.
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14
The Bible tells us not to eat with believers who live like unbelievers but we wine and dine with unbelieving believers.
But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people. 1 Corinthians 5:11
I never even knew the full meaning of this Scripture until the Lord spoke to me about people in my life that had unclean aura and garments, He explained to me that being intimate with idol worshipers or so called believers that are idol worshippers, stain our inner garments,, so it is actually for our own protection.
The Bible tells us not to forsake the gathering of believers but some of us try to prove that we know more than God. They rationalize not going to Church often. There is nothing to rationalize – if you are not sick, or have a pressing emergency, go to Church. That is after the coronavirus. Unfortunately, most Churches cannot really open normally like before.
And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrew 10:25
The summary is that we can think that we know the word of God, and are being holy, yet we disobey very clear instructions in the Bible because we are interpreting the Bible with our own minds without the Holy Spirit. So we need our Holy teacher – the Holy Spirit, everyday to teach us , lead us and guide us. He is the spirit of wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
So, I pray that we may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will, in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of Him, everyday. Amen.
And with Your glory all the day. (Psalm 71:8 NKJV)
This Scripture is such a blessed consolation and inspiration in my life. The Lord has taught me that I must think it, live it and breathe it in order to be a victorious Christian. Beloved, we need to live lifestyles of praise, thanksgiving and worship. It is not easy but it is expedient, beneficial and helpful.
These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich) Revelation 2;9
Jesus knows our works, tribulations and poverty. Every suffering and poverty we pass through for His name’s sake and the gospel is known to Him. Sometimes, Satan can subject us to severe tribulations and persecutions just because we love Christ. If you are passing through persecutions, God knows, and he cares – He will reward you if you remain faithful.
This Scripture tells us that we are rich – spiritually rich and blessed. Glory to God!
He cares for us. May great grace be upon us in Jesus name
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace (Ephesians 1:7 NKJV)
The blood of Jesus has set us free from sin and death. Mercy triumphs over judgement and we are redeemed. This Scripture is glorious and should inspire us to celebrate Christ always. There is great wonder working power in the blood of Jesus. If we persevere in pleading and calling upon the blood of Jesus which is constant, powerful and effective forever, we will know true freedom. When we call upon the blood of Jesus, the glory of God appears in the spiritual world.
For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you. Exodus 12:23
When the angel of death or destroyer which was judgement upon Egypt saw the blood on the door of the Israelites, it did not smite them. When your spirit is covered and saturated with the blood of Jesus, evil will not rule over you.
I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. Acts 2:19
Beloved, the blood of Jesus is not past tense -it is past, present and future. Jesus Christ is the same today and forever. The same glory and blood that healed in the days of Jesus and the Apostles is still active and fresh. It does not need renewal.
Glory to God for such an eternal redemption! May great grace be upon us in Jesus name.
Some weeks ago, I was lying down and suddenly the Lord said to me, “ the atheists are strangling America.” I was not thinking about America, atheists or anything related to this revelation. Sometimes I would be thinking about something and the Lord would speak into my mind concerning that very thing I was meditating on but this was not the case in this revelation.
I believe the Lord wants the atheist to hear this message. Their ideologies have taken over a lot of things including entertainment, media and politics and their constantly increasing arrogance is unmatched. They might think they are wise and smart but they are causing harm and bringing judgement on America.
The atheists need to know this – they cannot reject and spit at the face of their creator without repercussions. They insult God daily by their utterances, practices and validation of sins and abominations.
The Lord is on His Holy Throne and sees all that goes on, on earth. I pray that more people reject atheism to love, honour and cherish God. I also pray that the atheists in America realise that they are strangling America and causing harm to God’s own country. God loves America and all that America is today is because the Lord decreed it.
Atheists and all men are breathing because God permits it. May the atheists in America and all atheists realise this truth and learn how to be grateful and loving towards God.
