Love is Our Culture
1 Corinthians 13:1 (KJV) Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. Some things ought to be our hallmark in life as those whose lives are now in Christ if indeed we are in Him. Every kingdom has cultures and principles that govern life and interactions within that kingdom. Even so, in the kingdom of God of which we are a living expression of…
We are The Light of God in this world
Matthew 5:14-16 (KJV) 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. One of the characteristics of healthy fruit is attraction. It is…
God’s Right Hand is Our Salvation
Psalm 138:7 (KJV) Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. It is an undeniable truth that God is involved in the affairs of mankind. Those who postulate that God is absent from the universe does so out of ignorance and the darkness of their hearts. Creation itself attests to the magnificence of God. It is a…
Be rich in the Words of Christ
Colossians 3:16 (KJV) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. We become what indwells us. We manifest what possesses us. We act forth what inhabits us. So life and its expressions are the by-products of what is within an individual. Meaning that whatever inhabit our lives, ultimately controls us. If love, kindness, grace, mercy, and patience…
Love: God’s greatest commandment
Galatians 5:14 (KJV) For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love is not just an act or a feeling, it is a nature and that nature is implanted in you by the Holy Spirit through regeneration. When one comes to Christ, he or she becomes one with God through the redemptive power of Christ and the Holy Spirit implants the love of God in such an individual’s life. It…
Healthy and godly relationships are of God.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (KJV) 9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. It is undeniable that God intended us to live in harmony one with another and for us to forge healthy interpersonal relationships that are kingdom oriented. No one is an island as it is…
Love is an enabler of good deeds
Hebrews 10:24 (KJV) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: To be a Christian or rather a believer is not just by attending church or belonging to any religious organization. It is more than that; believers are those in whose heart and life Christ lives as Savoir and LORD. So when one states that he or she is now in Christ it would imply that such an individual has come to accept the Word…
The Grace of Fruitfulness within you
John 15:2 (KJV) Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. It is an undeniable truth that God has created you with the capability to be fruitful and has commanded you to be fruitful. The question is not about capacity, it is more of yieldedness and abiding. Meaning that the scripture is clear as to how you can be fruitful. You and…
We are His creation, the crown jewel of His creation
Genesis 1:27 (KJV) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Of all the controversies in the world, one that has impacted the human race immensely is evolution. The theory that humans evolved and that we are not the creation of God. It is the basis of all individualism and its impact on life. The consequences of believing evolutionary theories are yet to be fully comprehended. And…
The Faithfulness of God
Matthew 6:25-26 (KJV) Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? [26] Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Not a thoughtless…
How is your Christianity?
Matthew 16:24 (KJV) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
