The New Life in the Word of God

                         

Christianity is an exciting life; a life of victory through the Word. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever 1 Peter 1:23. Religious Christianity teaches that you have to struggle to please God, and to walk with Him. But in true Christianity, you don’t need to struggle to please God because the Holy Spirit helps you live the faith life that pleases Him. All you have to do is pay attention to Him through the Word of God. This is because the Word of God is the life. The place we read say “…word of God,… liveth and abideth forever” that means the Word of God is alive and living, it does not change. The Word of God is dependable.  We are not born again by struggling; we are born again by the Word of God so we are to live by the Word.

   Those who live according to the Word of God don’t need to keep worrying whether or not they are pleasing God. It takes faith to please God; “But without faith it is impossible to please him…” Hebrew11:6; and faith is having the Word dwell in you richly and living by it. The Just shall live by faith. Faith is the reality that we know as Christians. God’s Word in you will regulate your thoughts and actions, and guide you in the paths of righteousness.

    No wonder Colossians 3:16 says, “let the word of God Christ dwell in you richly in wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” If you store up the Word in your heart’s treasury, you will of necessity speak the Word, because the Lord Jesus said in Matthew 12:34, “…out of the abundance of the mouth speaketh.” Moreover, if you keep talking the Word in faith, the Word will propel you to action. If you dwell in the Word it will make you what it talks about.

   To live the glorious life God has ordained for you in Christ is neither a mystery nor unattainable; all you have to do is live in and by the Word. Keep the Word in you and let the word dominate you! You must live out the Word daily, such that when you speak, it’ll be the Word talking through you.

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
