THE ULTIMATE LIFE

Image
Traditionally, the scripture below has been used to teach that Jesus came and died for our sins so that we wouldn’t perish. As true as this is, this verse is saying that the real purpose of Jesus coming to this earth and dying for us was so that we could have everlasting life. It just so happened that our sins were a barrier that stood between us and this everlasting life. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.”   John 3:16 Jesus Himself defined Eternal life;   “This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent” (John 17:3). So, eternal life is just what Jesus said – to know God and Jesus Christ. It’s more than an intellectual knowledge. This word “know” is used throughout the Scripture to describe the most intimate, personal relationship that you can have.   The real purpose of salvation is not living fore

STEPS TO VICTORY PART 1

Steps to follow to victory in the war of this life includes these:

THERE IS WAR YOU MUST WIN

Image
The first thing you must understand is that, you are engaged in a spiritual warfare. If you do not know this, you have no right to victory. There is need for a battle, fight or competition before there can be a winner or a loser. A winner does not emerge from a no-duel situation. This is important for your victory. It will be ridiculous for you to claim to be victorious over nobody. It means, when you talk of being a winner or victor, that you are talking of a battle that is being fought. There are many indications of this in the Bible. It is sad to see many believers live and walk without a sense of war. They are at "ease" and that is why they are constantly down. If an enemy is fighting you, and you do not seem to know it, you make his victory certain and easy. But the Bible has given a clear understanding that the christian life is a life of constant war. It is war in itself. We get clear indications from the Pauline epistles about the fight. Now thanks be

GIVE YOUR BEST WHEREVER GOD PUTS YOU

Have you ever felt insignificant, overlooked, and underappreciated? I have too. The day Elijah brought fire down upon the sacrifice on Mount Carmel, Elisha was at work in his father’s fields. He didn’t see it, but he heard about it. Everyone did. It was a great day for Israel, a great day for God, and a great day for Elijah. One day after it happened, Elisha was out plowing in the field and Elijah came and placed his mantle around his shoulders. He couldn’t believe it, When Elijah chose     him to succeed him as prophet, He knew the he was exchanging his old life for a new one. The life of a farmer for the life of God’s servant. He expected to do great things even that very day! But He didn’t. Instead, for the next ten years he followed Elijah around and worked as a common servant. He felt insignificant. When we choose to follow God, what we get doesn’t always match what we expected. No matter. Even if others ignore or forget you, whatever you’re doing for God is importan

WHAT MAKES LIVING LIKE A CHRISTAIN POSSIBLE

There are three basic things we must know and apply for us to be successful Christians. We must experience New Birth Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.         2 Corrintians 5:17-21 . If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.  And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him
