REIGNING IN LIFE

ID-100166683

For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).

You will reign in life if you have abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. The gift of righteousness is acquired when one receives Jesus as his/her personal savior. Abundance of grace is received through study of God’s word; speaking God’s word in concert to any unpleasant situation(s) and praying through the Holy Ghost. One can also do much more and get great results in life for society- this is reigning in life! For more on the verse above, read the link below:

DO THE WORD BECAUSE OF LOVE…..

ID-100131601

If ye love me, keep my commandments John 14:15.

The issue of sin always comes up in Christendom. The way it is presented by some Christians sometimes  repels some unbelievers and they never would want to become Christians. Let us be patient towards newly born again Christians when they err or commit sin. Jesus said that “….Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God (Matthew 22:29). As we all learn and do the word (John 14:15), our lives are improved and the amount of errors we commit reduces greatly if not completely.

This is the mindset we have to have- that because we love God (although He first loved us), we are not going to commit sin as we do His word; rather than having the mindset that God will seriously punish us when we sin. Although God chastises us sometimes, we should not see God as someone who is always judging and punishing His children for every errors or sins they commit. God is bigger than that and He loves us so much. Even when we were unbelievers (sinners), God loved us. He loves us even more now that we are His children. Don’t forget that ‘babies’ sin all the time but when one is matured in Christ, sin is put behind.

PROTECT YOUR SPIRIT

ID-10011258

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life (and not death) Proverbs 4:23.

In the scriptures, the words ‘heart’ and ‘spirit’ are synonyms. We are admonished to protect our heart with all diligence. That is, we have to control what enters and comes out of our hearts or spirits. Be careful about the materials you read and listen to. If these materials are bad, you certainly will poison your spirit and you will be on the path of retrogression.

As a child of God, look into the mirror of God and discover the potentials of your spirit. The more you look into the mirror of God, the more you are able to discover and speak out the issues of life and make positive impact on the world around you.

WE HAVE THE SAME GLORY

ID-100145731

And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one (John 17:22).

The child of God is so privileged to have the same glory of Jesus Christ. This is awesome- that as sinners who have been saved, we will have the same glory of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ died for us and restored us to a better glory than that which was on Adam. That is why the bible says that sin cannot have dominion over us (Romans 6:14). Glory is light; beauty; and that which makes us supermen or superwomen. The glory of God makes us unique and all that we do benefits us and the people around us. With the glory of God, we can do so much more in this world with little effort and make the world a better place to live in.
