FOR A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORD AND NEW REVELATIONS
One would ask what should I do to walk according to the things that pleases God? How can I arrive at precisely? There are many teachings in the New Testament that tell you what to do. We can summarise into 3 we should not be doing. We should not be slaves to- 1 World, 2 Flesh 3 Devil. But we should be slaves to God and slaves to righteousness which leads to holiness.
When we are studying if we go to school and sit in the class to learn when the teacher explains and later even go to tuitions or discuss with your studious friends; but if you do not come home and meditate and memorise what you have learnt and refresh the whole portions the previous night before you enter into the examination hall, you are not scoring excellent marks. If you do not know this too, you can learn! Likewise go to church regularly and attending many revival meetings and discussing Bible in your small groups; but if you are not sitting alone with Holy Spirit and meditating on and changing your mind accordingly, you are not renewed in your spirit. All other above activities will not benefit you.
The world is going through a time of uncertainty as it grapples with an invisible and unknown foe. The COVID19 pandemic has placed everyone in a quandary, leaving the governments of so-called mighty nations and its leaders wondering. Doubts and fears over the future have encompassed the minds of all people without differentiation. As a Christian, a believer in Christ Jesus, if you too have questions, rest assured that the answers to your questions are in His Word. This situation has not caught God unawares. The Almighty God, our Father, is a Sovereign God and He has it well under control.
As Jesus prophesied He was lifted up on the Cross and He drew all peoples of the earth to Himself; Satan the prince of this world was driven out. Let us make sure we understood this status of Jesus who won the victory and the enemy, Satan was driven out of this world. Many Christians give unnecessary importance to Satan, for the problems they create themselves by not having the knowledge and wisdom of God to run their lives. Jesus is drawing all our attentions in this world right now.
God created the whole world by His Words. He created them in an order first the heavens and earth, light, water, sun, moon and stars, plantation, sea creatures, birds and animals and then man and woman. These all He created in an order from nothing. “By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.” Psalms 33:6, 9 (NKJV) So it fits the theory of Big Bang, isn’t it? God’s voice went ‘Bang bang’ and all appeared!
Jesus spent His lifetime preaching the Gospel to the people with His disciples. He travelled the country, did many miracles, healed the sick, made the lame to walk, gave sight to the blind, brought the dead to life and taught through parables. Multitudes from all walks of life listened to His teachings; believed and followed Him. He was widely admired, gained the confidence of the populace of that time. Why then did Jesus had to die?
We are in end times. We are in this generation. We got to be prepared. All end time signs are coming to pass: 1Many claim “I am Christ “ 2 Wars and rumours of wars 3 Nations rise against nations. 4 Earth quakes are more frequent 5 Plagues and pestilence are happening 6 Christians are persecuted 7 Many fall from faith 8 Many false prophets surface. 9 Knowledge is increasing 10 Because of increase in wickedness, love of many grow cold. 11 People go from one place to another 12 Gospel is preached all over the world.
The life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are central to Christian faith. Life on earth takes a physical form and ends with death. But the spirit lives on. Upon death, the spirit of those who have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior abides with Jesus in heaven for eternity. This is the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ the Scriptures teach us.
Let truth be told!! None of us can save ourselves from sin. God made one plan to save mankind with Jesus as the savior. Christ Jesus was crucified as a propitiation for our sins; He paid the price so our lives could be saved. Thus salvation was given as a gift from God; made free for all who believed in Jesus. By grace we have been saved through faith. Jesus spoke seven phrases through His suffering on the cross. Here we study the first four phrases.
There will be nothing left to believe if you have seen in front of you what you wanted to have. But if you see through your spiritual eyes what your physical eyes have not seen yet; that is belief! “Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”” John 20:29 ESV Believing is seeing!
