Be not deceived...!

Colossians 2:4, 8-10 NKJV

Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words. Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #151. Do you know that people are very persuasive with their words and even the devil uses them to preach false Gospel? Let us pray. Father,  let us not be fooled by the persuasive words of the devil but be sensitive to Your voice. Holy Spirit help us to discern between truth and false spirit.  In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends,  we are carried away with things and informations shared in tge social media. Even sometimes people share false teachings, and those who are still young believers easily believe into such nonsense and they begin to agree those things without prior investigation and digging of the Word of God. Beware of such people who uses the philosophies of the world and preach. They use their intelligence and intellectual to Share the Word, but not of the spirit.  If the Word comes out of your spirit, it will go to peoples spirit. If it comes out of your head, it will go to peoples heads!

The fullness of the knowledge of God is in God. Theology,  is a study of God about the bible. In Greek tge word "Theo" means God. To study and understand God, you must be filled with the the fullness of God,  His Spirit in you and then you will be able to preach of tge Spirit of God, else we would be talking nonsense and of our head and not of the Spirit of God. I pray that you would desire the Fullness Of Christ in you. Amen! Hallelujah 🙌...

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Be anxious for nothing...!

Philippians 4:6-8 NKJV

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are  noble, whatever things are  just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are  lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there  is any virtue and if there  is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #149. Do you know that many people are carried away with many sensational news and events that are happening around them? Let us pray. Father, we pray that give us wisdom to differentiate as well as to know the things which are from You and as well as the things which are not of You. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, be anxious for nothing, but in everything, in everything situation you are going through, every events that's happening around you, in your country, your family, your life, surrender it to GOD BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATIONS WITH THANKSGIVING. Do not react as how the earthly people will do but do as How God will do. Many people are carried away with some issues regarding their country and even regarding some supernatural phenomenon. For example,  the latest thing the sounds of shofar is being heard here and there. And people and anxious about it,  what's going to happen, and left many unanswered and puzzled.

Therefore we as believers, whatever it is,  let us come back again to the Bible, the living word of God for reference. Let us also not take things lightly, but be alarmed, Jesus said "watch therefore" let us be watchful and continue to do the works of God more radically and aggressively. The coming of the Lord is at hand, yes and indeed. Let us be prepared for we do not know the hour of the day. Let us be found faithful to the end.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are  noble, whatever things are  just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are  lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there  is any virtue and if there  is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. Let not anything derived our focus from God, but let us meditate on His word and His truth that sets us free from every anxious situation. You want answers? Find it in the Bible. There's a lot of answers you can get. Amen! Hallelujah 🙌! The key 🔑 here is, "in prayer and Supplication with thanksgiving."

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

To gain Christ...!

Philippians 3:7-11 NKJV

But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #148. Do you know that whatever we have gained in the world,  from the world is NOTHING compared to what we have gained in Christ Jesus? Let us pray. Father,  we pray that we would gain The excellent of the knowledge of Christ and that we may know You and the power of Your resurrection that changes and transforms life. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, the knowledge, the riches, the "joy", the "peace" or whatsoever you've gained from the world is nothing compared to what Christ has stored for you. We as a believer, must come to a point in our life and be able to say " what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ." When you preach Christ, you don't use you methodological theology to preach, but you use the wisdom of God to preach. You don't preach what you like preaching,  or what seems good to hear or even preaching according to all the worldly knowledge you've gained, but to rely fully upon God. Nah, I didn't say that it is wrong to go to bible schools or ecen gaining knowledge in the schools and universities, but what I'm saying is that we simply cannot you our knowledge to understand and to explain the mysterious things of God. Apostle Paul said "Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord". Apostle Paul he was a learned man, a bible scholar, a man who knows the law from A to Z, yet when he had an encounter with Jesus, everything has changed in his life.

Are you able to come to a point when you will be able to say " I count them as rubbish?" So that we may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having our own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that we may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, we may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Amen! Hallelujah 🙌! It not just speaking about whatever knowledge we have gained, but as well as all those riches, status, and so on. Are we able to Say that "I am nothing, I am zero?" When you have Christ, you have everything that you need. That you may know Him and the power of His resurrection, be conformed to HIS Death , meaning to crucify your flesh and gaining the Spirit of GOD in you. And the Spirit of God will teach you And show you everything you need to know and even give you everything that you would need to walk the journey of your faith in Christ Jesus. You cannot build a relationship with God using your own philosophies, but only through the faith you have in Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Be not selfish...!

Philippians 2:3 NKJV

Let nothing be  done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #147. Do you know that selfish ambition will not bring us anywhere? Let us pray. Father, let us not strive against one another with selfish ambition but to uphold and lift up one another in faith and encouraging them to continue to stand firm in the Lord. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, many of us unknowingly chasing towards a selfish ambition.  In the ministry,  we strive against each other instead of lifting up one another. Just because one selfish ambition we have, ww are willing to even backstab one another,  talking bad about one another, slandering, gossiping, ridiculing, criticizing all just to bring them down and we want to go up. By doing this, do you think the Lord is pleased? Humbleness is the beginning of every great ministries. If in this little things you aren't willing to be humble and highly esteem another better than you, I don't think so that you will prosper in you ministry. Most of the time I see it in my Facebook status updates, oh man sometimes I wonder why on earth they created Facebook.  People are shooting one another, ridiculing, criticizing and so on in the Facebook and the best part is they are "servants of God" and I don't know which God do they serve, for my God doesn't teach me that.

Friends one thing I desire to see is that everyone of you who reads my daily devotion,  I pray that God will use you extraordinarily. Catch the fire and run with the fire. Aspire for greater heights in the Lord and never remain at jist one level but continue to upgrade yourself in the Lord. This is my prayer and desire for you. Let us serve God with humbleness. Amen! Hallelujah 🙌!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Finally......!

Ephesians 6:10 NKJV

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #146. Do you know that those who remain strong and faithful to the end shall receive the crown 👑 of life? Let us pray. Father,  for we know that our war is not against flesh and blood but against the principalities and the power of darkness. Therefore help us to remain strong, durable and faithful in You as we battle with You. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, look at this word "finally" there's something apostle Paul is trying to tell to us. After everything you've done, either in serving, living... At the end of the day still you need to ve strong and durable and faithful in the Lord. Finally.. Friends it doesn't matter how life is treating you.  It doesn't matter how hard the enemy is hitting you and it doesn't matter who is against you. All you have to do is remain strong and durable and faithful ij the Lord. When you are strong 💪, you are unshakeable. Your foundation is firm in the Lord. Because we do not fight or battle against flesh and blood, but against the principalities and the power of the darkness, the evil spirits that's at work and not human beings, or government or anyone.

The word "finally" means at the end if something, at the final point or moment; in the end, in a final manner; conclusively or decisively. Literally,  Apostle Paul is saying, in the end, in the end of everything make sure your are still standing strong and standing firm in the Lord (I paraphrase it). How to remain strong and durable and faithful? You have to put in the whole armour of God. If you want to fight evil, then you must be equipped with all the spiritual weapons to battle against the devil!  Stand strong by putting on the whole armour of God upon yourself. Be strong in the Lord and in the POWER OF HIS MIGHT. It means your strength,  your power everything is from the Lord. Jesus is the source, without Him, you cannot fight the devil on your own. It simply means you are strong when you are in the Lord. Outside of Him, you are powerless. A power filled believer is a prayerful believer and a person who is intimate with the Lord. Not a prayerless believer and have no any relationship with God. Again friends,  finally after you have done everything alway remember God is there to help you to fight the battle. Never fight alone because you can't. You're not alone. God is with you. Amen! Hallelujah 🙌!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Walk as the children of light...!

Ephesians 5.8-16 NKJV

For you were once darkness, but now you  are  light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.  See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #145. Do you know that as the children of light, you cannot have fellowship with the darkness but to expose everything done in darkness? Let us pray. Father,  we pray that You would equip us with our spiritual armours as we battle the darkness and expose everything which is done in the darkness.  In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, we as the children of light must be in the light of God. For once you were in the darkness, and now you have been saved into His marvellous light, His salvation. Although we live amongst the darkness yet, we are not to be like them but let the light of God shine through us in the midst of the darkness. You are not supposed to partake in the works of the darkness but you are to forcefully take back whatever the devil has stolen from us and all those souls that are still in the darkness!

Beloveds, we are living in the perilous times, evil getting more evil, many things are happening around us. Are you just going to sit the and watch the world burn or are you going to do something about it? Forcefully take back whatever the devil has stolen from us (our family,  our friends,  our loved ones, our generation,  our economy, our education system, our youths, and many more). Expose everything that's hidden and done secretly in the darkness. See then that you walk circumspectly, carefully, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Amen! Take on the full armour of God and fight the battle before you. You aren't alone in this for God and His whole battalions of angels is with you. Hallelujah 🙌!  God bless you!

Be ONE...!

Ephesians 4:4-6 NKJV

There  is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

† Shalom †......! Day #144. Do you know that there's no higher calling, no greater honor then to bow and kneel before His throne? Let us pray. Father, You have called us to be ONE as You and Father are ONE. Therefore we pray that Your people will be ONE. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, I have been telling to my ministry team, The Faceless Generation Ministry, this statement "ONE Team, ONE Vision, ONE Mission." We are called by one hope for our calling in Christ Jesus. We serve ONE GREAT GOD, in one faith, one baptism. It doesn't matter which denomination we belong to, we still serve the same one true God, except for those false preachers and false faith. Friends,  the world is trying her best to unite everyone, but they aren't able. The world is taking the Bible's verse to unite, but we as believers find it very hard to be united with one another and serve God.

Each one of us are called to equip the body of Christ. Jesus is the Body and we are the members. Let us work together for the glory of God. Never look down to other denomination but encourage and together build each other. Amen! Let us be ONE just as Father and Son and Holy Spirit is ONE. God bless you...!

Be rooted in Christ...!

Ephesians 3:17-21 NKJV

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #143. Do you know that spiritual growth happens when you are rooted in Christ? Let us pray. Father, as we live in You,  walk with You, help us Holy Spirit to continually to grow in You and be rooted in You. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, I would to start with a parable. Let us not be like a tree that's being transferred from one pot to another pot and to another pot and to another pot, then what happens? Well the plant withers and die. Are you like that? A person who hops church regularly? A person who doesn't like the pastor, or maybe the church members and a person doesn't accept any corrections and discipline and then quit that church and goes to another church? Well, you will never ever grow if we have such attitude.

When you are rooted in Jesus, you will continue to experience spiritual growth in you. As you grow you will know Him more, more and more deeper. You must know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Hallelujah 🙌 , amen! 

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

His workmanship..

Ephesians 2:10 NKJV

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #142. Do you know that God has created you for good works? Let us pray. Father, let our lives shine forth Your glory. As we live, let it speak of Your wonders and greatness. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, each one of us have been created by God for His glorious purpose. He took His time in creating humans and rushingly. Detail by details He created man and we are His workmanship created In Chrit Jesus. You are fearfully and wonderfully made to do good works,  to bear the name of the Lord, which the God prepared beforehand.

Friends do not waste your life and live it with a purpose for Christ. Walk in the things He has prepared for you. Walk in obedience before the Lord.

Walk in the Spirit...!

Galatians 5:16-18, 25 NKJV

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #141. Do you know that when you walk in the Spirit, you're are actually walking against the lust of the flesh? Let us pray. Father, let us not be led by the lust of our flesh but in every step we take, we walk in the Spirit for those who are led by the Spirit are sons and daughters of God. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, when you are walking in Spirit,  it means you are walking against all your fleshy desires.  You subject all your flesh to the to the name of Jesus. You crucify the flesh and live by the Spirit,  for the Spirit gives life. When you walk in the lust of the flesh, it brings destruction to yourself and the wages of sin is death. Christ came give life and life more abundantly. If we have started in the Spirit, let us finish it in the Spirit. Never end your life, for the flesh brings judgement and condemnation but the Spirit gives life and liberty.

The Holy Spirit always warns us of anything. Even before we are about sin, the Holy Spirit convicts us and stops us from pursuing the desires of the flesh. The flesh is in rebellion with the Spirit of God. It does not take heed to the things of the Spirit but yielding towards the Spirit of God. How do we live by the Spirit?

1. Worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
Your lifw is a living sacrifice to God, therefore as you live, worship Him in the Spirit and in truth.  Everything you do, do for the Lord,  and in the name of the Lord. Romans 12:1-2 NKJV I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which  is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

2. As you walk in the Spirit, practice and use the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit. For the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

Amen! Hallelujah 🙌!  Let us be led by the Spirit of God and not by the world. For the flesh has been in rebellion since the beginning. God bless you!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

No longer a slave...!

Galatians 4:6-7 NKJV

And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #140. Do you know that you are sons and daughters of God, and no longer a slave? Let us pray. Father, thank You for the privilege given to us to be Your sons and daughters. Thank You for saving us from the darkness into Your marvelous light. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends,  such a wonderful privilege is given to you and me,  to be the sons and daughters of God. Many others are trying to do their best to be the sons and daughters of God but they don't know how to do it.  It is simple,  if only they are willing to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. A son knows the heartbeats of God. We have become joint heirs with Christ Jesus because of what He has done for us at the cross. The Spirit of His Son is living in us. 

Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. When I said we are sons and daughters of God, so therefore :

1. God knows the best for you.
When He says No it means a BIG NO because He knows the best for you as a Father. And if you go against His commands, well you are really in a deep trouble.  He gives His very best for His children and we must give our all to Him.

2. You aren't a slave to the world any more but a child of God. You have all the freedom in God. If you have please read Luke 15, it's about the prodigal son. The son wanted freedom and wanted to live his life according to his ways and he went out of his father's house and begin to wander and finally became a slave and then he returned back to his father and the father received him with gladness because his son has returned. Do not abuse the freedom God has given to us. You're no longer a slave to the world, therefore put to death all the earthly desires that's leading to death.

3. Knows the heartbeat of God.
A son or a daughter knows the heartbeat of their parents. And they will do their best to please their parents and not to bring shame to them. Jesus knew the heartbeat of the Father and He pleased God by doing His will because He is a Son to His Father. A slave will do, yes, but he or she will do it because they are bound to their master, they have no other choice. Whereas we, the sons and daughters of God, God gives us the freedom to choose either to follow His ways or we choose to be like the prodigal son. A slave is forced to do things according to his or her master's wish.

Amen. Hallelujah 🙌.  Let us be a true sons and daughters to God. Do our responsibility as a son and daughter to God the Father. God bless you!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

What has happened...?

Galatians 3:2-5 NKJV

This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it  was in vain? Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does  He  do  it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?—

******
† Shalom †......! Day #139. Do you know that God has given us the opportunity to begun our lives with the Holy Spirit and do you want to end it with the flesh? Let us pray. Father, help to walk with You and let us not be diverted to other ways. Let us not give in to our worldly desires but yield to Your Spirit. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, today's verse clearly says what we as a spirit filled believers must do. God begun a good work in us through His Holy Spirit and we have begun our journey with Him, as we are walking with Him and the journey is getting more interesting and challenging filled with adventure and excitement, a journey of God transforming you from inside out. A journey of God refining you to yhe purest of all gold. A journey of cleansing, deliverance, uprooting. A journey of re-laying of the foundation and rebuilding you once again. When you have begun with the Holy Spirit and enjoying everything that the Holy Spirit is doing in you, why now you want to give up and follow the ways of waywardness, destruction and disobedience? Why? What has gone wrong? What has gone missing? Where is the joy of the salvation? Where is the passion? What has happened to the burning desires to serve God? Friends,  it is no longer there because we have lost the first love.

Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it  was in vain? Many of us begin with a humble beginning and we desire to do greater things for God, but somewhere along the journey we lost our focus and begin to divert. All this years of training, pruning, rebuilding, discipling, the hardships you went through, and everything transformation that's happened in your life - is it for in vain? What has happened? All wasted? Where is your first love today? Friends, I beseech you to return to your first love today.

Revelation 2:4-5 NKJV

Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.  Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.

We have been crucified with Christ...!

Galatians 2:20-21 NKJV

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”

******
† Shalom †......! Day #138. Do you know that your life is belong to Jesus? Let us pray. Father, we commit our lives once again to You. We surrender everything we are to You totally and we pray that You will use us to glorify Your name. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, today the reason we are having a good life is because Christ gave Himself for us. Te moment we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Saviour,  our old self have been crucified at the cross. It is no longer we that live but Christ in us. Therefore let us make sure that we do not live this life somehow carelessly. We live by faith in Jesus and not by sight wanting to see things happening first and then ti believe,  but to believe 1st then to see the plans of God in regard to our lives comes to past.

This life is a gift of grace from God to us. Grace means not to continue to sin. Why grace? It's because the Son of God, who loved us and gave Himself for us that we may have eternal life and that we may ve found righteous in Him. Let not our lifetime be in vain but live it fully for the glory of God. Always remember that your old self have been crucified with Christ. The old nature has no power and authority upon your life. Christ reigns in us and through us. Hallelujah 🙌!  It was for freedom that Christ has set us free and no longer to be subject to the bond of slavery. God bless you.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Stop perverting....!

Galatians 1:6-8, 11-12 NKJV

I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it  came  through the revelation of Jesus Christ.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #137. Do you know that eve during the days of the apostles, there are people preaching false gospels and diverting people into their so called "revelation received from God" when it's actually from the devil? Let us pray. Father,  let us not turn our ears to false teaching and even be marvelled with the things they do. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, what meant to be spiritual must be spiritual and what meant to be flesh must be flesh. You cannot mix it together. Likewise man made gospel is not the Gospel of Jesus, but they twist and turn it for their own gain. For example in the Facebook, I always read certain groups of people they use the word of God to shoot someone, to comment negatively about something or someone. For example a question "is it good for Christians to take part in beauty pageants" and someone answered... Yea it is allowed,  and they comment as long as they know they are a Christian and hold on to Christian faith and so on with bible verses supporting its comments. For me it is like a CHRISTIAN BORN AGAIN porn actress says that "I will be doing a pornographic movie, don't worry I will not sin and my motive is to win them". Sorry friends, it is a serious thing and I had to make a stand for this! Not all people preach the true Gospel of Jesus Christ... They twist and turn it for their own gain and profit. This is how the devil works!

The bible says that in the last days people will turn their ears to listen all the soothing messages which they want and not hard rebukes. Friends beware of such Teachings you received. Jesus is the Gospel, listen and o His words. Stop perverting the Gospel of Jesus Christ to suit your own point of view and your comment. Don't you dare to twist and turn it for your own gain! God bless you!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

God speaks through you...!

II Corinthians 13:3-6 NKJV

since you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you. For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you. Examine yourselves as  to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified. But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #136. Do you know that when you speak the word of God,  it is not who speaks but the Lord? Let us pray. Father, we pray that it doesn't matter what people has to say about us, either they ridiculed us or labelled us as false preacher, let Your word justify us and vindicate us. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends,  have you ever been accused of being a false prophet, or  false teacher, or giving false prophecy and so on? Many people  don't like hard rebukes and so on. And when they are rebuked then they will begin to label those preachers false prophets and bla bla bla. To tell you the truth, I get that a lot. Up to you friends to justify.  But definitely know, I speak what He shows, what God shows. Jesus lives is us. The Bible says that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit,  and that the Holy Spirit stays in us. Therefore who do you think the Holy Spirit is...?

Jesus said "I and Father is one." And again He said "worship God in Spirit and in truth." So Jesus was the Spirit of God came to this world through Mary. Now who do you think The Holy Spirit is? Haha. If you are confirmed that the Spirit of God is upon you, then go on boldly do and proclaim His words and works. A Spirit filled ministry is a ministry that's with signs and wonders. And for those who are in a habit of ridiculing others,  humbly I'm asking you to please Examine yourselves as  to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves.. Many people look down to those who are young. When God speaks to them and when they speak the things out, they began to "nail them to the cross." But when big time preachers and so say a word, they accept it. One truth we must know is that there are hypocrites amongst us as well. So friends my advice to you us, it doesn't Matter what people has to say about, what does really matters is what God has to say about you. Amen! Keep on doing the good work, for you are chosen by God and not man.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

I am the Grace all that You need...!

II Corinthians 12:9 NKJV

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #135. Do you know that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens us? Let us pray. Father, we thank You for Your grace that's enough for our salvation and You strength is manifested in our weakness. Thank You Lord for this privilege given to us. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, His grace is more than enough for us to go on with our lives.  Because of His grace, we are saved. Because of His grace, our sins were forgiven. Because of His grace, we are able to come before God and cry out Abba Father. He strengthnes the weak, He gives power to the powerless. In His strength we are able to go through storms. His strength is made perfect in our weaknesses. We are abandoned to the Cross, fully dependant upon Jesus because He is the centre of our lives. Our source for everything.

When we study Scripture, there are times when a nuance provided by the meaning learned from the Bible’s original languages can rock us to the core. The Greek word order of 2 Corinthians 12:9 provides us with meaning we don’t want to miss: “Sufficient for you is the grace of me.” That is an incredible promise! Essentially the Lord told the apostle Paul, I am the grace. I’m all the grace you need.

God does not dispense strength and encouragement like a pharmacist fills a prescription. God never says, Here, take two of these and call Me in the morning. He is the grace. He is the strength. His presence is the power. All we need comes through intimacy with Him. No matter what we face, Jesus is the complete answer. “Sufficient for you is the grace of me.” He doesn’t give what we need and then go somewhere else. He comes to stay. “I am with you always” (Matthew 28:20).

Notice that the Lord explains how I’m all the grace you need actually works in our lives: “For my power is made perfect in weakness.” “Perfect” means fulfilled, accomplished, completed, finished. It’s the same term Jesus spoke as His final word on the cross, tetelestai, which means, “It is finished” (John 19:30). God brings His sufficient and powerful grace to the relationship; all we bring is weakness. All of this is grace because we can’t do anything to deserve what He does for us. And He makes sure the results are perfect and complete.

God wants His grace to be completed in your weakness. You never really experience the grace unless you see the need for it—and even that realization comes by grace. The power of Jesus' grace is not fully seen until weakness is fully acknowledged. The moment you are overwhelmed with your absolute helplessness is the moment you are ready to hear Jesus say, I’m all the grace you need.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

We do not war according to the flesh...!

II Corinthians 10:3-6 NKJV

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #134. Do you know that we do not war according to the flesh but against all the power and principalities of the darkness?  Let us pray. Father, continue to strengthen us as we  continue to forcefully take back every the devil has stolen from us. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, the bible says in Ephesians 6:12 NKJV For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. In today's verse, although we walk in flesh but our war isn't against the flesh, isn't against your rulers or you government or your enemies or your family, but the power and principalities of the darkness. We do not carry C4, or time bomb 💣,  machine gun, M16, AK47, NO... Our weapons of warfare is not of the world buy it is from God. There's a lot of spiritual weapons in the bible such as arrow, David's slingshot,  hammer and fire (Jer 23:29), stone, 7 string lyre, whip and many more.  This is our spiritual weapons.

All this weapons are for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. You can use it freely for God has given it to us. We are in spiritual warfare, gird up and put on all your spiritual armour and fight it like a man! Hallelujah 🙌.

Do not be unequally yoked...

II Corinthians 6:14-16 NKJV

Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.”

******
† Shalom †......! Day #133. Do you know that you cannot have an intimate relationship with an unbeliever as well as having an unbeliever as your partner? Let us pray. Father, break any bridge that's not of You so that we may not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, this verse means that do not be unequally yoked with the understanding of the unbelievers, or even have any business with them.  You must not cooperate with them. Truth cannot walk hand in hand with lie. Children of God cannot live and make darkness their home knowing that they have been saved and they belongs to the light of God. Jesus was in the world, but He did not become one like the world.  You are in the world but you must not follow they ways of the world, the understanding of the unbelievers. If you've already accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, therefore live in the light of God and let not there be even a spot of darkness.

For those of you who are in relationships with an unbeliever, if you have led then to Christ, well it is a good thing but if that person is not and he / she doesn't wants it and you are still there hoping they will change and so and you are binding yourself to all that person is saying, well it's time for you to get out of it. But if you are already married, well then I can't say anything much. As a children of God, we have our standards and we cannot lower the standards to meet the world's ways. Will you allow sin in the House of God? Therefore do you not know that you are the temple of the Holy Spirit and God Himself reaides in you?  So how can light mix with darkness? Hallelujah 🙌 . God bless you.

Ambassadors of Christ...!

II Corinthians 5:20-21 NKJV

Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to  be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #132. Do you know that you are ambassadors for Christ? Let us pray. Father, thank You for calling us and choosing us to be Your ambassadors. Let us introduced You to many so that they will see Your salvation.  Thank You Jesus. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Word of the day is 'AMBASSADORS'
Meaning : An accredited diplomat sent by a country as its official representative to a foreign country.
 
"Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God." (2 Corinthians 5:20)
 
The Bible says we are the ambassadors of Christ Jesus. An ambassador is an accredited diplomat sent by his country as its official representative to a foreign country. An Ambassadors duty is to deliver a message, or to be the spokesmen on behalf of their country or the industry they are involved in.
 
We are the ambassadors of the Kingdom of God and God has chosen us and placed us here on earth that through us, God can do His work. Through us, people are saved and be reconciled to God once again. We are here to be God's spokesmen, to be His messenger that would go into the world and complete our great commission Matthew 28:18-20. We are His chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light - That we may declare - that Jesus is Lord and Savior of our lives!
 
The Bible says in Matthew 5:13-14 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. If is the one who chooses you to be HIS ambassador, so then you are to be HIS salt and light to the world. Be the salt to peoples life; adding in flavour into their lives. And be the vessel of light, that through you the glory of God may shine into people’s life.
 
As I always say, our ultimate calling as follower of Christ is to be a soul winner. No matter in what ministry you are involved in, make sure the one motive of you ministries is to impart love and impact lives, to touch lives and transform communities.

Being an ambassador means to forcefully take back what the devil has stolen from us,  our generation, our race, our families. Bring them back!
 
I am glad that God has chosen me to be His glorified and royal ambassador. I choose to be His ambassador, what about You?

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Perseverance and endurance...!

II Corinthians 4:8-10 NKJV

We  are  hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we  are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #131. Do you know that although we're going through a rough and tough time in our lives, yet we remain strong because Christ who strengthen us? Let us pray. Father,  we can do all things through Christ who strengthen us. We thank You for though we're hard-pressed on every side of our lives, yet we remain strong because of You, O Lord. Thank You Lord. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Hallelujah 🙌!  Friends, you know the blessed assurance that we have is our hope and trust in the Lord! Yes, it is true. Even though I go through a lot of troubles and problems,  yet even in the midst of the storm, I am able to smile. This is not a fake smile but a smile that's from the depths of my heart, a genuine smile because I know my God is able, oh yes He is able to deliver me out of every situations of my life because of my trust and hope is in the Lord. Even though it seems that I am hard-pressed from every corner,  it produces perseverance in me to endure all things. I am hard-pressed until the precious diamond is made. 

We  are  hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we  are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. Because Jesus lives in us, He gave us the strength we need to persevere and endure. Just as apostle Paul said, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Yes, because the life of Jesus is manifested in and His resurrection power is is at work ij our lives now, so that we will not give in to give up but to persevere and endure all things through Christ who strengthen us. Hallelujah 🙌!  Amen! God bless You.

You are a wonderful story being written...!

II Corinthians 3:2-3, 17-18 NKJV

You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that  is, of the heart. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is , there is  liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #130. Do you know that people surrounding you are reading about your life daily? Let us pray. Father, we pray that let our lives be a wonderful epistles a testimony that would change the life's of those who reads our life. Let our lives shine forth Your glory. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, your life is an open book, not Facebook where you always update statuses of what you are doing, going to do and eating. People have begun to read about each other since the day of old until Facebook came into the picture. People are reading your life's story daily. What kind of story is your life? Do you choose to write your own story or God is the Author of your life book?

Your life is written in Christ Jesus, therefore let your life shine forth His glory. Let your life speaks about His majestic awesomeness. Let your life testify of His greatness. Let Your life tell the works of Jesus that's actively in work right now in your life. Hallelujah 🙌!  This is the greatest story written by God about your life. The question is, are we going to allow Him to continue to write a new story about you or you want to be the author of your life's story? The answer is in your hands. Amen!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

A sweet aroma...!

II Corinthians 2:14-15 NKJV

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #129. Do you know that we are a sweet aroma to God? Let us pray. Father, we come to You today amd we present ourselves as a living sacrifice to You. Let our life's be consumed totally by Your love and passion and let it move us to do greater things for Your Kingdom purpose. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, we are to present ourselves as a living sacrifice to God. A sweet aroma, holy and pleasing to God. As Apostle Paul mentioned in Romans 12:1 NKJV "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which  is your reasonable service." No, I'm not asking you to go and barbecue (BBQ) yourself on the fire. NO! What I meant and what apostle Paul is trying to say is Christ gave His total life for us at the Cross, in return God is not asking us to go and hang on the Cross again but to live the life He has given to us through Christ Jesus.

Every minute of our lives must be a living sacrifice unto God. When you come to a point of total surrender before God, then you shall see how awesome is the plans of God for your life. Living daily just to please Him alone. Let us be a sweet aroma to God and to others. Living our lives as Christ's witnesses.  Witnessing His awesomeness to the world, our families and friends. Hallelujah 🙌.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Be brave, be strong...!

I Corinthians 16:9, 13 NKJV

For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there  are many adversaries. Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #128. Do you know that in every ministry you do for the Lord, there are many adversaries? Let us pray. Father, as it is written in Your word that "those who know their God shall be strong and attempt greater exploits" likewise,  Lord use us. Even in the midst of great opposition, yet we will still press on, persevere and endure it. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, people say that "the more great and effective ministries come your way, the more pressure will be, the more opposition will be" but just tell me,  which ministry is without opposition, rejection, people coming against it and so on? I shall speak today from my own experience. Friends, as you'll know that I am actively involved in the youth ministry and every year there's youth revival meeting, encounter fresh fire 12 hours worship celebration,  mission trips and many more. Each time I do this, there is always a strong force that's tries to stop me. The devil tries every of his dirtiest tricks just to stop me, but one thing I do, I never look at it as a threat,  but I wage war against it, I persevere and endure it by all means! And I see the victory of the Lord. The devil may try to attack you from every corner, never be shaken, but stand strong fight it like a man! A ministry that's without any troubles or opposition or any attacks from the anyone, I think there's something wrong to it. It's like so easily we are doing the ministry without any price to pay. Something really wrong...!

Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. Yes! Friends and fellow workers, it doesn't matter what situation you are going through in the ministry as well and your personal life,  remain strong and face it like a man! Never give in to give up. Have a mentality of a soldier who fights fearlessly. Let not your faith ve shaken with the things around you and even from people who tries to scare you out. Have a steadfast faith in Christ Jesus. Be brave to do greater things for God. Hallelujah 🙌 !

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Be steadfast and immovable...!

I Corinthians 15:57-58 NKJV

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #127. Do you know that your works in the Lord is not in vain? Let us pray. Father,  let us not be lazy in doing Your work, but always abounding in doing Your work. Give us a steadfast and immovable faith as we continue to serve You. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, certainly you aren't serving God in vain for your reward is in heaven. Knowing this, let us with all perseverance and endurance run the race and finish the task before we return to our Maker. You are serving a victorious God who has given  us the victory. Therefore you are more than a conqueror. Christ have given ti us a Spirit that's constantly working in us to bring out the best from us. Therefore let us not be weary, but in everything find an opportunity to make a difference. You are not doing it for yourself but you are doing it for the people God.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. Everything has a price on tag on it, even we serve the Lord isn't in vain and if you think that you don't profit anything that's a lie of the devil. Let not your faith be shaky. But be immovable. Have a steadfast spirit, a faithful heart, a determined spirit. Eun the race and finish the task. Focus on God until the very end and you see the victory of God in your life. Hallelujah 🙌 !

Unity of the bretheren...!

I Corinthians 12:12, 14, 18 NKJV

For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For in fact the body is not one member but many. But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #126. Do you know that we must remain in unity and serve together as one body of Christ? Let us pray. Father, let the be unity amongst the brethren so that we would serve together as one body. Let it be so that through unity, revival takes place. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, we are the members of one Bod of Christ. One cannot function without another. We equipped the Body of Christ. To everyone is given certain gifts so that everyone will function according to his / her gifting and we move as one Body of Christ united together. What makes the whole body to function? It is UNITY. Never ever break the unity. Because the devil knows if he breaks the unity of the brethren, they will fall and be attacked easily.  Nowadays friends, there's some churches not willing to work hand in hand wit other churches, they just want to mind their own businesses. They don't bother about what's happening at the other churches and they will not even take part in it.

Unity brings revival. We must be united together. There's a saying "united we stand, divided we fall". When we are united no devil can do anything but if the unity is cracked and shattered, we must do something about as soon as possible because unity is a crucial part in the body of Christ. Even in the ministry, as we serve as one ministry team, we must move as a team and not as individuals. ONE TEAM, ONE VISION, ONE MISSION. There must be reconciliation in the team so that it will bring each one closer and work together for His kingdom purpose. Let not anything breaks the unity! Hallelujah 🙌!  Only through unity, there's revival. When all the denomination comes together, United as one, then we will see massive revival taking place. God bless you.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

† Shalom †......! Day #125. Do you know that we must evaluate ourselves daily,  our spiritual growth,  our spiritual life so that we wil not remain stagnant but there is a constant growth taking place? Let us pray. Father, let Your Holy Spirit to constantly search our hearts, evaluate us in our spiritual growth and walk in You so that we will not remain stagnant. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Why we should and must examine ourselves? The reason is, if we see in this verse a man/woman must examine their heart's, the spiritual condition of it, in what state it is, we must look into every details of our lives. Friends, God knows what happening internally and the world knows what's happening externally in our lives. As a believer, we are called not to remain stagnant in Christ, but there will be a constant progress as we walk with Christ. Before we partake of the cup and the bread of the Lord, we are to allow the Holy Spirit to examine our heart's so that we will not take it carelessly. We do not live our lives carelessly but carefully. There must be a constant growth in us. Let not our spiritual life remain stagnant. 

Spiritual maturity is a process that begins when a person accepts Jesus Christ as Savior. He or she is born again of the Holy Spirit and then chooses to live "in Christ." The Apostle Paul said that spiritual growth is an ongoing process. "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:12-14). Even the Apostle Paul had not arrived, yet he continually pressed toward the prize. Let us examine ourselves lest we bring judgement upon ourselves for he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.

This verse also speaks about living a holy and righteous life before God. Not carelessly buy carefully. Not remain stagnant but there's a constant growth. Not to live in sin but to live a sinless life. If we have anything which we haven't confess yet, come in repentance and allow the Lord to heal us. Hallelujah 🙌!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

God is faithful...!

I Corinthians 10:13 NKJV

No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #124. Do you know that God knows to what extend you can be tempted and He doesn't allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear? Let us pray. Father, we thank You for the assurance You gave us and the help in time of distressed. We thank You for the escape plan You have prepared for us in every situation of our lives. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, God knows how far we are able to be stretched. God doesn't allow us to be stretched beyond our capabilities and abilities. He allows us to go through a time of trials and testing so that when we are tested, we will remain steadfast, standing firm in our faith. When it seems like things which are happening around are not in favor for us, just know this and be assured that God has prepared the escape plan for you. Put your faith in the battlefield and you shall see the salvation of God.

Many of us give up so easily when we are tempted and tested. God is looking for those who know their God and will do greater exploits for Him. God is looking for those who are strong and steadfast in their faith. Friends, many times I've personally been through rough and tough times in my life, yet in all situations I did not choose to give up, but to persevere, to breakthrough every odds and obstacles until I attain the goal. It is Christ who strengthens me and gives me victory. How about you? I believe that you have some extraordinary testimonies as well. Continue and keep moving forward. When the going get tough, the tough gets going! Hallelujah 🙌!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Should live from the gospel...!

I Corinthians 9:13-14 NKJV

Do you not know that those who minister the holy things eat of  the  things of the temple, and those who serve at the altar partake of the  offerings  of the altar? Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #123. Do you know that we who preach the Gospel must live the word? Let us pray. Father, Your word shall be alive in us. Let Your Word change us from inside out. Let us who share Your Word live according to Your Word. Help us to practice what we preach. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

We must practice what we preach. Simple and clear understanding of the word. Many preachers are lion's at the pulpit but a kitten outside the church. In the church we preach all out, but outside we do not do as what we preach. A preachers or a servants livelihoods is from the House of God not from the people. Many people use the word of God for their rice bowl to gain income. For example to lay hands and pray they will charge an amount,  to cast out demon's they charge a certain amount. We as the servants of God, must stop this practice. Freely you received, freely you give!

Friends, do not use the gifts of God to you for your self gain. I'm saying this not because I am perfect, but let us work towards perfection in serving God and His people and as well in our lives. Amen, hallelujah 🙌!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Temple of the Holy Spirit...!

I Corinthians 6:19-20 NKJV

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who  is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #122. Do you know that the Holy Spirit abides in you? Let us pray. Father, we allow Your Spirit to cleanse us from inside out. Holy Spirit come and take over now, come and heal somehow the broken and the lost. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, do you know the feeling that excitement when God says, " child you are Mine?" A sense of belonging, a feel of secured and safe. Yes, the Lord is saying to us this because He has bought us at a price we cannot pay. Friends, we don't live this life to our own ways and thinking but we owe it to God. Let us not live our lives carelessly. We are is Holy temple, there those who tries to destroy the temple will be destroyed. Because the Holy Spirit is in us whom we have from God. Holy Spirit must be in the Holy place. The temple of God we are. Therefore the Holy Spirit continues to work in us, purge out all filthiness of the world,  all our fleshy desires,  all sins and even keep us away from sin and warning us mosy of the time of the danger of falling into sin. Once the temple has been cleaned, the temple must be well maintained, meaning to say that when thw Holy Spirit begins His cleaning service in us, then we must continue to walk in righteousness and in holiness before the Lord.

For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. For we are purchased by His precious blood, therefore let us not take it likely, with don't care attitude towards what the Lord has done for us. We think living in sin is OK... We think defiling the temple of the Holy Spirit is OK... We think a little lie is OK...  We think that we don't sin but we cheat, no honesty,  no truthfulness and all this is OK, we think. We are wrong! We must continue to live holy before the Lord. Therefore glorify God through your life, your body and your spirit which belongs to God! The Lord says, "My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves". Whoaa what a strong rebuke! The temple is US! We have made it a den of thieves! We compromise with the Word of God and allow all yhe filthiness of the world to do its business in us! Sin, lust, adultery, fornication, and many more is doing their business in us! Come on friends...! Wake up and face it boldly!  You must fight it! You must overcome it! Hallelujah 🙌!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Purge out....!

I Corinthians 5:6-8 NKJV

Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

******
† Shalom †......! Day #121. Do you know that your old self must die and live as a new creation?  Let us pray. Father, purge out our old self and help us to live as a new creation in You. Let not our old self rule in us but in every ways be submitted to You. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

There's a parable in the bible which says the old wine cannot be mixed together with the old wine. We are the new creation in Christ Jesus therefore your old nature must be put to death. We must allow the Holy Spirit to cleanse us from inside out, a thorough cleaning so that we will be holy and set apart before God.

Never allow your old self to rule us. When we say that Christ has set us free, well it must be for real.  We must live in sincerity  and in truthfulness before God as well as we live with each other. Amen!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
