Good Morning,

Having been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who lives but Christ lives in me.  And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave His life for me. (Galatians 2.20; cf Romans 6).  Having said that, if Christ truly lives in me, I will have the same mind as He; that is being tenderhearted, loving, kind, merciful and forgiving.

Search Me, O my God, and know my heart, try me and know my anxieties.  Search the deep crevices of my heart to see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. (Psalms 139.23,24) In Jesus name AMEN.

Good Morning,

We are in the heat of battle, not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. And Yes, it is true the battle belongs to the Lord and He leads us and He guide us in this battle, so we can be victorious. But we are the soldiers of His cross, we are the ones who have to engage in every day hand to hand combat against these forces of evil. We are the ones who must remain loyal and true to Christ waving His unfurled banner high. Hear and listen to His words when He says: Contend earnestly for the faith (Jude 3), enduring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.(Ephesians 4.3). And as Paul told Timothy (1 Timothy 6.12), we must keep fighting the good fight of faith laying hold on eternal life and not growing weary in doing well. (Galatians 6.9). He has given us the spiritual weapon and protective armor (Ephesians 6.11) so we are well equipped for the battle. Stand up, stand up for Jesus you soldiers of the cross, lift high His royal banner it must not suffer loss.

Good Morning,

If you are reading this, it is because God gave you rest and sleep during the night and has now awaken you to face another day of life on this planet.  He has a purpose for you and that is to live for Him this day.  So start the day with prayer of thanksgiving, then humble yourself under His mighty hand.  Serve Him well by surrendering your will to His, and strive to do all that you can to bring praise and glory to His name.  Be steadfast, be sure keep the vows you have made to the Master.  Do not consent with idolators, aduterers, fornicators or those who in any way reject the holy, inspired word of God by teaching and approving of the very things which He abhors.  Seek God and His beloved Son Jesus the Christ.  Expose all forms of wickedness, depart from evil and do Good, then you will be victorious In Jesus and have hope of eternal life with Him.

Good Morning,

To depart from God does not change the will of God. To depart from the teachings of Jesus is to depart from the reason for His coming. It is possible for men, even Christians to become weak in their faith and depart from God and return to the world with its wicked ways. Maybe this is why Paul warns, let him who thinks he stands, take heed lest he fall. (1 Corinthians 10.12). Paul was aware that even he could be a victim of departing from God, for he said: "I keep under my body and bring it into subjection lest that by any means when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. (1 Corinthians 9.27). Each individual is responsible and shall give an account of himself to God. (Romans 14.12; 2 Corinthians 5.10). Pray this not be the case, examine yourself daily to see if there might be in your heart any signs of weakness that would result in departing from our God. Stand firm on His word, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 15.58).

Good Morning,

In Judges 21.25, we read "everyone did what was right in his own eyes." And in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 Paul gives warning that in the last days. (in which we are living) perilous times will come: men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, head strong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of GOD, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! Friends and brethren, sin is active and on the move, it is never satisfied. Spiritual compromise always leads to moral corruption.

Father, thank You for Jesus and for Your word. Help Your obedient faithful children to not be deceived by cruel, unfaithful men of this ungodly and perverse generation. Keep us in Your protection, and give us strength to endure the ways of the world. In Jesus name, AMEN
