In this modern world people live according to their feelings. Their propaganda is that one should listen to how they feel about anything or anybody and walk accordingly to get happiness. This is not the way our Christian lives should be. We should live according to what the Spirit of God telling us to do and be joyful in the Lord. There is a difference between happiness and joy. Happiness is when things happen according to the way we like; but joy is from the Lord Jesus Christ and nothing or no one can give that to you.

Fleshly Minded Is Death, Spiritually Minded Is Life & Peace
People lost the concept of Born Again spiritual life. Everyone started telling they are born again without making any changes in their spiritual lives, but continue to live life according to flesh. The Word of God clearly says, you should start living in the spiritual realm if you have the Spirit of God living inside of you. Do not be deceived. Check yourself and be sincere to your conscious to know whether you are really walking in the spirit; completely surrendering to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. “The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.” Romans 8:6 (NIV)
Hell Cannot Prevail Against The Church
We should always remember that Jesus took victory over the devil and the hell cannot come against the church and overcome. Church is the whole Body of Christ all over the world without any difference between people or denominations as Jesus, the Head. All believers unite together form the Body of Christ and hell cannot come against and we should be united in Christ Jesus. We should not be united with non-believers to form one common religion. This is popular now but very wrong. We should come together and love each other to show the world that we are the disciples of Christ Jesus only. Jesus said,“By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”” John 13:35
The Letter Kills But The Spirit Gives Life
We should know how to divide the word of God, the Bible while reading it. The Old Testament is for the Jews: all the history and the commandments; the prophecies too that have been fulfilled and rest to happen for them to know. For the Christians it is the New Testament: the history, the commandments and the prophecies. The New Testament is not written in ink but written by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of the heart. The letter kills, but Spirit gives life. 2 Corinthians 3:2-6.
Godliness With Contentment Is Great Gain
In this world one should know how to be content. “Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.” I Timothy 6:6-8 (NKJV) All kind of things people do going out of the way is to get what they see others having. For everyone God has given grace to have some things which would reach them without striving much for it.
The Truth Shall Make You Free
You should know about the truth of this life you are living and experiencing. The truth that all the things we see are created by God and there is a creator above everything. Nothing materialises without some one making it and definitely nothing evolves from one to another. People do not want to hear that their actions are not righteous enough in the sight of God so they want to deny. We should take responsibility of the life style we have chosen and cannot blame all the people around or God for whatever decisions we have made or actions we have done. The truth about God and you will make you free. Jesus prayed, “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” John 17:17 (NKJV)
World & The Lust Of It Passing Away
Why do we waste our time going for the worldly things and lust after? You lose all of them once you leave the earth and of no use to you for the next world, which is eternal. Eternal is a very long time, which never ends. And you did nothing for having enough to live that life or saved anything for that, if you are too diverted to prepare and collect stuffs for here and now, which is a very short time in comparison to eternity. Have any one of you thought about that and is making preparations?
Be Sober, Be Vigilant & Resist The Devil
People generally avoid the topic of a spirit world out there, thinking all good or evil are happening right here. If at all they agree of spiritual world they say all happenings are from God and there is no devil. Some are too much involved in evil power knowingly. Among Christians there is no proper awareness of the evil one, our adversary who is waring against us all the time to defeat us and draw us away from God. But we see Lord Jesus was tempted by the devil and how the Lord took victory by using the Word of God. Lord Jesus also mentioned that Judas Iscariot was possessed by the devil and even how devil asked for Peter and that He prayed for him.
Let The Eyes Of Your Understanding Be Enlightened
This is the very important teachings every Christian, who believes should be knowing and practising. Many are just going about in their lives in worldly pursuits; not knowing for which we were called or the glorious inheritance we have as sons /daughters of God or how much power had been given to us to live a victorious life. God had given us the same calling, inheritance and the resurrection power of Jesus Christ. Forget making the best of it. Are we aware of these privileges and power available to us?
Walk In Love, Love Never Fails
Walking in love means, people think, that we show kindness, talk pleasant words all the time and make the other person feel comfortable all the time; even though they are on the wrong, one should not be correcting them or say anything harsh to them but allow them to be themselves. Walking as you feel like and letting others to do the same, is not walking in love. This is not the definition of love according to the Bible. This is love, that we walk according to Jesus’ commandments. 2 John 1:6.
