You Have Control!
‘And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise’ Phil.4:8
There is a battle going on in our minds, the age-old battle between God and evil. Young men and woman find their minds going off on a tangent based on what their eyes have seen. Yet God is saying to us today that you can control your mind. In fact, the quoted translation says ‘fix your thoughts’. The only way to survive in our present day world is to exercise your God given control over your mind. ‘Finally, my brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever Read the rest of this entry
No One Gets Hurt?
‘Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives’ Gal.5:24-25.
Sadly, the notion that no one gets hurt has set people going off on various tangents and most times it is away from God. A lot of people today, even teenagers, want to know what is wrong with masturbation after all no one gets hurt. I have done extensive research on this subject and I will share those findings with you. Interestingly God has been silent on this particular subject. One school of thought says there is nothing on this subject in the Bible. Another school of thought points to Galatians 5:19-21 particularly the Read the rest of this entry
His Temple
‘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 honor God with your body’ 1 Cor.6:19-20
Quite a number of ladies are faced with intense pressure when it comes to getting married. Many Christian ladies are confronted with the demand to get pregnant before marriage because their in-laws want to ascertain if they can have children or not. I’ll say it is simple, just tell them that you are a Christian and that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and refuse to do it. It may sound funny but that’s the Word of God; going along with that plan means walking contrary to the path that God has laid down for you. Sadly, Read the rest of this entry
God’s Truth II
‘So, God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them’ Gen.1:27
You need to understand the truth in the Word of God. The Word of God will set you and your children to the third and fourth generation free! You do not even need to be a theologian; you can discern these things just by studying the anatomy of the human body. God’s plan from the beginning and till date is a male and female pair. I once got into a conversation with a family friend of ours who is a very intelligent medical doctor. I cannot remember how we got to the topic of homosexuals but her opinion was that Read the rest of this entry
Upright Word
‘Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body’ 1Cor.6:18
I have encountered a couple of people who are faced with the temptation of sexual sin. Quite a number of men today are being seduced by their best friend’s wife and vice versa. Some initially start out trying to resist the temptation but as time passes, they realize that resisting sexual sin is tougher than most people think. What should you do? Three simple words answer this question – RUN, RUN, RUN! When it comes to the devil, the Bible says submit to God, then resist the devil and he will flee from you. But when it comes to Read the rest of this entry
Be Aware VIII
‘My husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey… With persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk’ Prov.7:19 &21
The third thing you must know is that we don’t flirt with darkness. ‘Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord…’ Deut.18:10-12 [NIV]. Some believers flirt with the devil by practicing divination, sorcery, and interpreting omens. The enemy will suggest that it is harmless to Read the rest of this entry
Be Aware III
‘Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ’ 2 Cor.10:5[KJV]
The fourth thing we need to know about satan and his demons is that the devil thrives in darkness. The devil loves darkness and confusion. It is this same darkness and confusion he orchestrates in marriages because the devil hates for husband and wife to be at peace. The devil will plant conflicting thoughts in the mind of both the husband and wife. Thoughts that if not cast down and out will stair up confusion. There was a case of a man who walked into the house to see his wife and her Read the rest of this entry
Things Above
‘Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things’ Col.3:2 [NIV]
Earth is not eternity. God created it and His desire is for us to prosper while we are on earth but you must stay in the consciousness that Heaven is the focus. You cannot afford to allow earthly things consume you at the risk of loosing out on heaven. Unlike the eagle, the chicken has no interest in gazing towards Read the rest of this entry
