Living by the word of God


    As Christians, we do not have any other life except in the word of God. This is because we are the products of the word; we are born of the word. John 6:63 “it is the spirit that quickeneth(gives life) the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you,they are spirit and they are life” KJV. Life of the Christian is in the word, the word guides us and the more remarkable statement according the words of Jesus Christ is that the words are life. 1 Peter 2:2 “as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby” KJV. The word is our main source of life as Christians. Deuteronomy 32:46-47 “and said unto them, set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day , which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and  through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it” KJV.
    The word of God helps us to know the mind of God concerning anything, it reflects our true images and helps us to know what God says  we are. 1Peter 2:9 “ye are a chosen generation a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people…” KJV you do not need accept anything less than what the word says you are. Don’t allow that situation you may be facing to make change or doubt your identity.

Praise God!

How to follow Jesus

                  Following Jesus is not going to church always, it is not praying always, it is not reading the bible always etc. although, all these activities are good but they do not make one a follower of Christ Jesus. Matthew 19:16-21, the rich young ruler was perfect in all of them yet something was missing which was the most important one. In the book of John 3:1 Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jew, was disqualified in spite of his knowledge of the law.              What is following Jesus? So, what is following Jesus? Following Jesus Christ is living by the word of God. Luke 4:4 and Jesus answered him saying man shall not live by bread alone, by every word of God. This is living your life according to the direction of the Word of God. It is abiding in the word of God or Jesus. John 15:4-5.     Steps to follow  ·          You must believe in Jesus Christ, John 3:16   ·          You must be born again John 3:3 ·          You must have faith in God. Heb 11:1-6 ·

Salvation is for the Living

     Some people have asked if Christians could intercede on behalf of a person who died without receiving Christ, so such a person could go to heaven instead of hell. The answer is No. “For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth” Isaiah 38:18-19. Anyone who didn’t receive Christ while on earth stands condemned. In John 3:18, Jesus said, “… but he that believeth not is condemned already….”   So, the one who dies without knowing Christ, died in condemnation, and it would be of no use praying for such a one to go to heaven because the choice of whether to make heaven or not is personal one.   It’s important to realize that the salvation message is for the living and not the dead. You can only receive Christ as Lord and Saviour in response to the Gospel while you’re still in the earth. Jesus

Keys to Effectual Prayers

  And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him. Lord, teach us to pray… (Lake 11:1)   When you study the lives of the early prophets and the apostles, even the Lord Jesus Christ, you’d find they were very effective in their prayer lives. In our opening verse, disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray because they observed His prayers' effectiveness. So, it’s not just enough to pray; it’s the effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous man that produces results.   There’re scriptural rules and guidelines for effectual prayers. There are some things you have to pray about continually, you intercede continually; and there’re things that you pray for only once because if you keep praying about them, you’re getting into unbelief, rather than applying faith.    Meanwhile, there’re things you’re not even supposed to pray for, because no matter how long you pray about them, God is not going to respond becaus
