Fight a good fight of faith

FIGHT A GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH

So many profess to be born again are not living a victorious Christian life. God tell us in 3Jn.V.2 that “Beloved I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health as your soul prospers”. It is the will of God for us to prosper, but many Christians are living in abject poverty.
In Deuteronomy 28:12c, the bible says “…you shall lend to many nations, you shall not borrow”. But so many Christians are in chairs of debt and falling from debt to debt.
Beloved everything does not end when you give your life to Christ. In fact that is just the beginning of a new life in Christ, which is one in which victory is assured because you are on the side of the Lord. The Christian life is a battle, ITim 6:12 warns us to …”fight the good fight of faith”, 2 Cor. 9:2 says …”the weapon of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God, Ps. 144:1 “Blessed be the Lord my God who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle”. You need to establish the word of God concerning your life continuously by praying and confessing the word. Pray until something (great, marvelous, wonderful, beautiful, glorious etc) happens in your life and destiny.
God bless you.

Time to Dance

TIME TO DANCE
Ecl 3:1-4
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal, a time to break down, and a time to build up. A time to weep, and a time to laugh, a time to mourn, and A TIME TO DANCE’”
Dancing is one of the fruit of Happiness, moving with measured steps to the tune of a music. Our LORD is singing a music unto our Ears and the music is saying “IT IS WELL”
Why must we dance?
1. We can dance to provoke an opportunity.
2. We can dance to thank God for our Restoration
3. Dance is a must to one who is victorious 1sam 18-6
4. Dance becomes an unavoidable when one crosses his Red sea Ex 15:20- miriam took her timbrel in her hand and all the women around her danced.
5. One will dace with Joy when what is lost is found Lk 15:5, Ps 30:11.” Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing, thou hast put off sack cloth and girded me with gladness”
6. Dance is one of the instrument needed to praise God. Ps 149; 3” Let them praise his name in the dance…
7. You can dance your way to open Heaven, open doors, open wombs, open destiny, open Joy, open windows of Heaven, open mouth, opened cheque e.g. Herod’s daughter in Mt 14:6-7 and Mt 6:21-23. Danced before the king and was granted an opened Request v23” whatsoever thou shall ask of me ,I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom”
8. God has given you a dancing step this seasom.

ENOCH MUST HAVE BEEN A LONELY MAN, BUT HE WAS NEVER REALLY ALONE.
Walking with God might seem lonely because anyone who decide to walk with him must have decide to be out of steps with world and its changing fashions. Walking with God entails focusing your attention on Him only.the man wha wants to walk with God must be perfect an all things. walking with Him will also attract persecution and hatred from the world. However,such a person might seem lonely because he cannot have many friends,but surely he will never be alone for God will always keep him company.

The Law Of Harvest

THE LAW OF HARVEST
Text: GALATIANS 6:7-10
INTRODUCTION
Lifetime is sowing time. Each of us by thought, word and deed is constantly sowing for future harvest. As we look into the principles of sowing and reaping may the Almighty God bless us richly, in Jesus Might Name, Amen.
SOW GOOD SEED
The law of harvest makes it abundantly clear that you need to be careful about the kind of seed that you sow.
This is because every tree must yield fruit after its kind (Gen. 1:11-12; Lk. 6:43-44). It is a principle already established by God Himself and nobody can change it. This principle is one of the few principles that is repeated in various forms and ways throughout the bible (Mt. 5:7; James 2:13; Judges 1:6-7; 1sam. 15:33; Mt. 7:1-2
SOW GOOD SEED ON GOOD GROUND
God expects you, a child of His, to sow good seed on a good ground. It is when you sow on a good ground that you receive a good harvest (Mt. 13:3-9;Gal .6:8).
THE HARVEST IS ALWAYS GREATER THAT THE SEED SOWN
The law of harvest explains God reward system (Gal. 6:7-8). Since God also operates a reward system it become clear that we shall all be rewarded for our deeds whether good or bad(Mark 10:28-30. Salvation does not exempt you from receiving your just reward for all the evil you have done (2 cor. 11:23-27). The antidote for all evil seeds is restitution (Lk. 19:8-10; Lev. 6:1-7). The law of harvest makes it abundantly certain that you get much more that what you sowed (Hosea 8:7; Lk. 6:38) whatever you sowed in the secret will be rewarded openly (Lk. 8:17; Ecc. 12:14; Gen. 49:1-4(Gen.35:22) we also need to be aware that harvests can be shared. The man who sowed a seed and the person who watered it, both of them qualify to receive a reward for their labour whether good or bad (1 Cor. 3:8).therefore be careful not to partake in the sin of others (1 Tim. 5:22).
THE PROCESS OF SOWING AND REAPING
The mystery of sowing and reaping cannot be full understood by man. God is the Author of this process, therefore only the Holy Spirit understands it (Ecc. 11:5) however you must use the knowledge give to you by God act on His revelation as contained in the Holy Scriptures concerning the process of sowing and reaping if you are to take full advantage of the law of harvest (Ecc. 11:6; Jn. 12:24; Gal. 6:7-10;
Mt. 13:3-9)
