JUSTIFIED BY FAITH

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for works of the law no flesh shall be justified. Galatians 2:16 In the Old Covenant, man was justified by the law; man needed to follow the Law of Moses to be just. Thank God that in the New Covenant, the dispensation of grace, man is justified by faith in Jesus Christ, Hallelujah! For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. John 1:17 We are in the dispensation of grace and we are no longer under the law but under grace. We are saved by grace and we are justified by faith in Jesus Christ. Thank God for His grace that has found us. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 God has justified us by faith in Jesus Chri...

GOD WORKS EFFECTIVELY IN YOUR CALLING

For He who worked effectively in Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised also worked effectively in me toward the Gentiles. Galatians 2:8 Peter was called to preach the gospel to the circumcised Jews while Paul was called to preach to the uncircumcised Gentiles. However, God worked effectively in both of them. God works effectively in what He has called you to do. If you want to be great, do what God has called you to do. There is nothing on this earth you can do better than your calling. In your calling, you can display the highest form of character and excellence. You can be the best that God created you to be in your calling and not in your job. God has anointed you for your calling and not my calling or somebody else’s for that matter. There is a calling on your life. When you are born again, you have to discover your calling. What does God want you to do? What is God pulling you to? God can reveal that to you. He can show you things that He wants you to do. God can reveal you...

DAILY CONTACT

Therefore we do not loose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 2 Corinthians 4:16 You need to be renewed day by day. You need a daily Word from God that will set you on course every day. Getting the Word on a daily basis is a sure way to win on a daily basis. There are many decisions you need to take on a daily basis and the Word of God coupled with prayer can help you make the right decisions on a daily basis. You need the Word and the Spirit every day. You need the Word and prayer every day; wisdom and understanding. Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. Proverbs 4:5 If you want to make progress in your life then renew your mind on a daily basis. When you renew your mind you essentially upgrade your mind, when you upgrade your mind, you upgrade your life. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove w...

PUT AWAY CHILDISH THINGS

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I though as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 1 Corinthians 13:11 The Greek word for child here is “nepios” which means an infant, a babe, one who cannot speak, a simple minded person and an immature Christian. The Greek word for man here is “aner” which means a man of mature understanding. God wants you to put away childish things and become mature in your understanding. There are two stages in Christianity which are a babyhood stage and maturity stage; carnal and spiritual. It goes without saying that you start out as a baby who is carnal, however you need to mature and be spiritual. You need to grow from being simple minded and become wise. As new born babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 1 Peter 2:2-3 You grow by going for the Word; the Word of God is spiritual food. You also need to pray; prayer...

ASK ACCORDING TO GOD’S WILL

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 1 John 5:14 If you are going to have answered prayers you will have to ask according to God’s will and that means in line with His Word. God’s Word reveals God’s will for your life, therefore, if it’s in the Word, you can ask for it. When I was in high school a certain prophet from the U.S. came to our school and prophesied to me and after that meeting one of my teachers said to other students, “If the prophet did not prophecy to you and you want what he prophesied to someone else, you can say, ‘God, I want the same thing.’” That couldn’t be further from the truth, because that would be covetousness. Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5 You cannot ask God for something that belongs to someone that would be covetousness, that is not God’s will. ...

GOD WILL TURN IT AROUND

For the LORD will comfort Zion, He will comfort all her waste places; He will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness will be found in it, thanksgiving and the voice of melody. Isaiah 51:3 You may be faced with a number of challenges at this point in your life. Perhaps you are diagnoses will a horrible illness or you are in debt, it could be anything. It does not matter because God will turn it around! You are going through it but you are not remaining in it. This too will pass. It will not always be like this, things will turn around in your favor. God will rescue and deliver you. God will not leave you there. When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” The LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad. Psalm 126:1-3 God is the God of th...

BE LED BY THE SPIRIT

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:14 We are no longer under the law but we are under grace and we are in the dispensation of the Holy Spirit. We should yield to the Holy Spirit and be led by the Spirit. When you are born again, you can hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and follow His leading. You just need to know how to be sensitive to His voice. You become sensitive to His voice by praying in the Spirit and meditating on the Word. “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know th...
