The new life of faith

When things seem to be going the way you don't like or maybe you are facing some hopeless situations, God expects you to change the situations with your faith. Why? In 1 John 5: 4 “for whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” KJV. Your faith is your victory. Hence, you have the ability to turn the situations around.

OUR LIFESTYLE


  Faith is our lifestyle as Christians. Romans 1:17, “for therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith” KJV. Some Christians are facing some hopeless situations because they are very sensitive to their environments or senses. So, if the weather is cold, they will say they have cold, if they are running temperature, they will say they have hay fever. That is not your lifestyle. You are born of the word of God and that is your source of life; your faith in the word of God gives you the life.



SICKNESS IS NOT IN OUR GENE

  As Christians, we do not get sick! Why? Because, we were born that way, sickness is not in our genetic make-up and it is not part of God’s plan for us. 1 Peter 1:23, “being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word, which liveth and abideth for ever” KJV. If you are born again, you are born incorruptible, free from sicknesses, diseases and poverty. The seed of man is corrupt, so at the new birth in Christ, you inherit the life of God.

LIFE OF HOLDING TO THE WORD

  Our new life of faith means holding on to what the word of God has said about us as the only truth and not minding what our environments or senses maybe saying. 1 Peter 2: 24 says, “who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed” KJV. God has taken care of our problems, so all you have to do is to work out your faith in the word of God.
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
