Equipping For Battle With God's Word

  Equipped For Battle A soldier who goes to war does not go without his or her proper protection. Similarly, how can we as Christians who are constantly at war with the devil not be consistently found properly dressed for battle. The difference here is that we do not need literal swords and guns to fight our battle but rather our spiritual self is constantly equipped to withstand the darts that the enemy throws at us. That armory we must constantly wear consists of the following: Belt Of Truth: No longer loined with the lies of our past. Rather, we must belt up with the truth, the Word of God about who He is and what He has done for us. Breastplate of righteousness: just as a breastplate protects the vital organs of the body such as the heart, the great vessels, and the lungs, so also should we figuratively keep our heart guarded spiritually at all times. The moment we let that guard down our heart becomes vulnerable to attack Shoes of the gospel: Protected feet have the capability...

Occupy your Space

  We have another story about a family to encourage and remind us of who we are in christ.in James 5;16; the last part of vs 16 says Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. The whole family of Gabriel, wife, and children have a re-occurring sickness / hospital bills that digs into their monthly income.  A day came when they observed all the problems facing them including their income. They were vexed in their spirit that they decided to fast and pray about their health, problems, and finances. The reason for the prayer is that, they eventually  understood their place in Christ, they claimed the promises of God, the lord answered their prayer and no more seasonal sickness, or hospital runs, better job for Gabriel and their finances restored for the better. What to observe from this couple ⦁ The couple was able to observe the problem surrounding them ⦁ The day the...

Understanding before Undertaking

    We all are familiar with this passage in the bible ; Jesus and the disciples in the ship ; Mark 4; 35-38; 35  And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. 36  And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. 37  And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 38  And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 39  And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40  And he said unto them, why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith? 41  And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?  I am sure t...

Stabilized, Sure and Steady- Child Training

From the picture posted to your here,  A story of Alice and her husband was shared about their waiting to conceive. After so much prayer, God answered their prayer. The couple dedicated their time to lay biblical foundation on love, sharing, justice, salvation, and many more for their son. This reflected in their son’s life (both academically and spiritually) .   We are reminded that as Christian parent, Proverbs 22;6- Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. A foundation is an integral part of a building and its whole essence is to hold up the building. This can be applied to laying a solid strong Christian foundation for our children from early age because the bible already commanded us to train our children in the way he should go which is God's way. How do we then fulfill the bible passage in Proverb 22;6 and also how do we build this solid Christian foundation in our children? Parent relationship with God; We cannot do t...
