16 – You have a place in the Father
John 14:2-9 KJV “[2] In My Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. [3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. [4] And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. [5] Thomas saith unto Him, Lord, we know not…
15 – Keeping the Unity of the Spirit
It is important to note that we cannot create the unity of the Spirit. We can only guard it. David speaks prophetically of the church, in Psalm 122:3, as a city that is compact (united) together. Jesus said in John 17:21-23 that He gave us His Glory that we may be one as He and the Father are one. We are simply to defend this unity. A break in the unity affects everyone,…
14 – The God way
We are citizens of heaven and as such, we must live by God’s way, serving the Kingdom and our King, Jesus. Godliness is reverence and piety. It is clear evidence of the love and fear of God in a person.
13 – True Worship
True Worship reveals the one a person worships. The reason for man’s existence is to worship God and God alone. We were designed to bring God pleasure and just like a thing functions best when it is doing what it was made to do, man functions at his best capacity when Worshiping God. All creation was designed to worship man, however, the man was to take this worship and…
12 – Prove Me now
Malachi 3:10-12 KJV “[10] Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in Mine house, and prove Me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. [11] And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits…
11 – Go and sin no more
Each one of us at salvation encounters this Word of His grace. However, it is very common to find believers that believe we are all sinners and will always be sinners. Rather than receiving this command to go and sin no more, they trade their confession, calling that which is not meant to be over their lives. As a result, they begin to fall short of our true reality. If…
10 – Grace Redefined
Grace is what secured redemption for us. Redemption is not just forgiveness of sin, it is deliverance from sin. It is what enables a person to live holy and above sin as Titus 2:11-12 says. That which brings people who are dead in their trespasses makes them alive and then goes ahead to seat them in Christ far above all heavens while securing them eternal relevance in…
9 – From the pit to Princehood
1 Samuel 2:8 KJV “He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and He hath set the world upon them.” In this passage, we are told of a lovely redemptive work that God does — a work that He is able and willing…
8- True Repentance
When an individual is dirty, it makes no sense to run away from the one who can clean him up. Jesus longs for us to return to Him. He even leaves 99 sheep to go after a missing one.
7- Running to Win the price
The call to immortality and incorruptibility is to all who believe in Christ, but not all will attain to it. This was why Paul said in 1 corinthians 9:27 that he puts his body under so that after he has served, he does not become a castaway. This does not necessarily mean him going to hell, but him gnashing his teeth when he sees his brethren in realms in Glory that he…
