Being A Christian
“This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace” Col.1:6
The Word of God is so powerful, rich, beautiful, and so amazing. We are going to be spending a lot of time with God’s Word over the next few weeks as we study the Book of Colossians. Please study Colossians chapter one as we kick off our study from there. Being a Christian is all about life change. The Word of God has come to us to change our lives. If who you were Read the rest of this entry
Sabbath
“Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” Matt.11:28.
To live stress free like Jesus, I must know who I am – the principle of identification; I must know who I am trying to please – the principle of dedication; I must know where I am coming from and where I am going – the principle of origination. I must make a habit of meditation. There have been times in prayer meetings where we Read the rest of this entry
Be Still And Know
“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world” Ps.46:10
Jesus needed to pray to live stress free and you are not greater than Him. You need to pray no matter how busy you are. No matter how busy Jesus got, He made it a practice to spend time alone with God. You need to spend time alone with God. Some of us do not even know how to spend time alone with God. Some of us make Read the rest of this entry
Connected To Source
“Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground” Gen.1:26
The Word of God clearly points out that God is our source. So if God cannot be stressed you should not be stressed. If God cannot be harassed, I need you to get this so I am going to repeat it. If God cannot be harassed you should not be harassed. Jesus is God, He was on earth but the fact that He is God did not mean Read the rest of this entry
Source Check
“Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going” Jn.8:14
The third step to living stress free like Jesus is know where you are from and where you are going it is called the Principle of Origin. “Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going” Jn. 8:14. Powerful! It is the principle of Read the rest of this entry
Manifest Who You Are
“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago” Ep.2:10
As a Pastor you have to work with different kinds of people, and believe me, human beings need Jesus. Some people are just too conflicted and it is borne out of not knowing who they are. You cannot afford to live your life taking every disagreement as rejection. At some point while Pastoring, we set a goal to start fifty new house Read the rest of this entry
As Unto God
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving” Col.3:23-24 [NIV]
The Lord said to Jesus when He was being baptized, this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. It is only God that can see man and be well pleased, only God! Man sees you but his focus is on “your flaws” and so he is not well pleased. But God sees you, God knows you, and God still loves you. He is totally well Read the rest of this entry
Him Alone!
“Serve only the Lord your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him” Deut.13:4
As a Pastor I know I cannot please everyone. Recurrently people say to me, this person or that group of people is not happy with you. I just laugh and move on. If I have done something wrong, I do not have any issues apologizing and I will apologize. But I do not seek to please everyone because I simply cannot. You cannot Read the rest of this entry
Who Matters?
“Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honour God with your body” 1 Cor.6:19-20
You know who you are when you know whose you are. You do not belong to yourself, you are a child of God bought with the price the price of the Blood of Jesus. You are valuable to God. For a lot of us our lives will change completely if we wake up pronouncing and knowing, I am a child of God. I am deeply loved by God. I Read the rest of this entry
Identity
“You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name” John 15:16
A lot of people in today’s world wear masks. This is why there is so much hypocrisy because people do not know who they are. In order to be accepted, people try to pass off themselves as being something or someone they think will be accepted. Perhaps I will be accepted if I am pious so he or she puts on a pious attitude. She Read the rest of this entry
