Christian Living

1 John 4:1
Beloved believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.



The other day I listened to a Christian lady lamenting about the agonies of divorce and the effects on the lives of the children, as if that was not bad enough, her local church and supposed brothers and sisters- in- Christ played a major role in dividing and destroying that home!

Is the church in trouble or just prophesies being fulfilled?
Are there still true believers worshipping in spirit and in truth?

It seems that everyday, one meets one disillusioned believer or the other out there, whose experience has been major in the body of Christ interacting, daily fellowshipping (?) with a lot of hustlers who say they are believers and it leaves a sour taste in the mouth
SHALL WE CONTINUE TO SIN AND EXPECT GRACE TO ABOUND? GOD FORBID!

Thank God for the lives of those who have had personal encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ Himself before they intermingled with the ACTIVITIES OF THE BODY otherwise these ones will fall into the category of those who fall out of the faith –Just walking into the grand master plan of the enemy of our souls

Sadly, many are sucked into this quagmire of events, activities and unchristian behavior in God’s church, power struggle and tussle, position seeking and boot licking, chasing the truth far away from the mouth and heart of today’s believer
The true spiritual food is not fed the average seeker of God, oftentimes he goes to church Sunday after Sunday empty and dragging loads of unseen burden, excess baggage and yolk that he fears to share with his brother or sister in the Lord for fear of reprimand, becoming the topic of the church gossip column or simply being tagged an extremist

Break the cycle in your life, of believers, who lie through their teeth and they keep a straight face doing so, their daily lives and interactions cannot be seen as reflecting Christ
Even in church they are no different but they only put up appearances and speak eloquent words in CHRISTIANESE!

They are more crooked and sly in business dealings than the secular businessperson that they climb the pulpit to castigate Sunday after Sunday.

Refuse to join the flow instead, form a relationship with God and He will direct you all the way
Trust in Him with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding, acknowledge Him in everything that you do, let Him know that you acknowledge the fact that you have no power of your own and you will be healed off all fruits of the spirit that do not benefit you or the Kingdom.

Are you at the stage of bewilderment and confusion about certain events in your life, about your role in the church and even about your standing as a believer and you have no one to turn to especially in the church?
It seems that you are the only one who seems to be different and you are beginning to question your right standing?

Brothers and sisters know ye not that,

WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT BUT JOY COMETH IN THE MORNING

BREAK LOOSE AND BURST FREE with all the strength of God that you have within you

PRAY WITHOUT CEASING and put your actions into motion as well, make an attempt to grab your God –given destiny from the enemy

PRAISE AND WORSHIP HIM till that demon of gossip, envy and jealousy takes to flight from within you in fear

PRAISE GOD till that unholy competitive spirit that you feel whenever someone else is commended or seems to be in the limelight in church evaporates from your system

ADD FASTING TO YOUR EFFORTS TO HUMBLE YOU AND CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE OF TOTAL BROKENNESS IN YOU FOR THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO BE ABLE TO GET YOUR ATTENTION FOR PURGING AND PURIFICATION

Do you want a permanent victorious Christian living?

Do you want to be certain that your place in Heaven is secure?
Ephesians 5 verses 11-17—Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. ----- Wherefore He saith, awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee LIGHT.

AFFIRM AND CONFESS DAILY WITH YOUR MOUTH THAT—I AM MOVING FORWARD IN THE YEAR 2008
