Discipline Of God For The Warriors

Posted on 30/12/202101/09/2023 by Florence

We are not only supposed to grow and mature in our spiritual life but also should be disciplined by God to be perfect warriors for Him. As the word of God describes, God disciplines His children whom He loves like a Father. Without disciplining yourself you cannot study, work or do anything properly. So we must submit ourselves to God to allow Him to correct and discipline you. There are verses which refers to the discipline as to be like the discipline of the soldiers or athletes, who really do all things including diet, exercise and giving all their time to discipline themselves. How many of us are willing to be corrected?

Jesus Must Increase, But We Must Decrease

Posted on 22/12/202122/12/2021 by Florence

We, who are born again, know that we have received Christ Jesus in our hearts by faith and Christ Jesus is living inside of us. But how many of us know that we must allow Christ to increase in us and we ourselves must decrease? John the Baptist understood his position in God’s Kingdom and made sure that he exalted Jesus above himself. We also must cut down our life to such an extent in our thoughts, words and deeds so that in the end only Christ Jesus lives His life and does work through us. In this way our work for God will be holy and perfect, powerful and pleasing to God.

The Spirit Of Truth & The Spirit Of Error

Posted on 15/12/202114/05/2025 by Florence

Christian life is spiritual life and we should be able to discern the spirits of people around us. There are two groups of spirits still working among us. Some spirits in men work for God and they are from God and they think and plan for Godly purposes in whatever they do; these have spirit of truth. The spirit of truth, which confesses Jesus Christ is God in flesh, is the Spirit of God. But some spirits who do not believe the truth, try what may, they never understand the purposes of God and the things of God and reject God’s plans in their lives, these have spirit of error. This is the spirit of Antichrist which is now in the world.

Holy Spirit Dwelling In You Is ‘Zoe’ Life

Posted on 06/12/202107/03/2022 by Florence

All believers should live ‘Zoe’ Life; which means life that is real and genuine. Life that comes directly from God. We should not settle for anything less by not trying to attain that kind of anointed life to have abundance right here on earth, which will be a wonderful testimony to people around us too. Many are waiting for that kind of life, only when they die and go to heaven. But the Word of God says clearly, your mortal bodies should have health and all things around you should work together for your good, if you have God’s Spirit dwelling in you.

God Is Merciful Enough To Forget Our Lawless Deeds

Posted on 27/11/202123/07/2024 by Florence

There are many attributes of God we discuss to exalt His Name. But one of them is overlooked by many are His forgetfulness. God is the only one who can forget bad happenings. God says, “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”” Hebrews 8:12 (NKJV) Is God forgetful, in the sense, He forgets all things? No, not at all, He remembers all good deeds done by people and makes sure He rewards them – in this world and the world to come. Revelation 22:12. But He forgets all the bad things of those who confess their sins and repent. Glory to God!

God’s Ways & Thoughts Are Higher Than Ours

Posted on 18/11/202102/08/2023 by Florence

Many are walking in the way they think is right. After certain age we refuse to make corrections, even though people of our own households or those who are very close to us point that out. But the word of God says, “All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the spirits.” Proverbs 16:2. God has designed a certain standard of life to all of us individually unique; which are definitely higher than the ways and thoughts of our own. We should meditate on the Word and find out to live that best life by putting into action the things we study. We should constantly apply all that we learnt in our lives.

Godly Love Is Poured Into Our Hearts By The Holy Spirit

Posted on 11/11/202102/12/2021 by Florence

All the love we find in this world through many relationships are not enough in comparison to God’s love. God’s agape love is greater than the love of a mother. God is willing to impart this love to us. “Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Romans 5:5. Yes through the Holy Spirit of God residing in every believer in Christ Jesus, God is able to pour out His own love so that we will be empowered by receiving and to show that kind of love to others.

The Blood Of Jesus Christ His Son Cleanses Us From All Sin

Posted on 02/11/202122/08/2023 by Florence

Without shedding of the blood there is no remission of sin the Word of God says in Hebrews 9:22. This concept was known to all religions on the planet earth. Many are still following and some have stopped shedding the blood of animals as new concept crept in recently to confuse people’s minds. But the law of God remains the same even if some do not believe. “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:5-7)

Be Imitators Of God As Dear Children

Posted on 24/10/202124/11/2025 by Florence

Our goal, after accepting Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, is to be imitator of God as Jesus too loved us and gave Himself as an offering and a sacrifice to God as a sweet-smelling aroma. Ephesians 5:1-2. Now-a-days, many are started living life loving the worldly things and achievements than living as a sacrifice for God as Jesus did. God had called us for Righteousness and Truth and be children of light reflecting Jesus. Let us not forget this. This is the fruit of the Holy Spirit whom you have received.

Come To Me, Come To The Water, Come All You Thirsty

Posted on 15/10/202102/12/2022 by Florence

The invitation is to one and all who are burdened, or who have no money to buy and to those who really thirst for God. God wants all of us to run to Him even when we feel unworthy, bankrupt and empty. Because He is El-shaddai, which means God Almighty, all-sufficient One or who is more than enough. We should stop striving to achieve or attain something all the time on our own; but should get God’s help. The erroneous sayings many like ‘God helps those who help themselves’ are going on around the world. When you are helpless, useless and are struggling, you should come to God, who is full and is able to help you, which makes Him God; not when you can do something on your own and need a little more help from God.
