LAMBS AMONG WOLVES; THE CHRISTIAN JOURNEY

Luke 10:3

Jesus Christ himself was aware of the task he gave his disciples. He knew he was sending them into a dangerous world. A world that that is/has been plagued by evil, and is governed by satan, but still he is here to save us (man) rather than leave us to our destruction. Jesus Christ sent out his disciples as lambs among wolves. He knew there will be persecution of his disciples, there will be rejection of his Gospel he has sent them to preach. But for those who lose their lives to the gospel will gain it. It doesn't mean necessarily getting killed for identifying with Christ (at times death happens), it means God will not send us out to the world and not back us with his power.

Furthermore, it means we are surrendering ourselves to his manifestation in our lives. We as Christians letting His glory shine through us, as people witness the power of the gospel in our lives, and by that the Spirit ministers to the people of the world. The task Christ gave the disciples wasn't as a result of their resourcefulness or individual ability but rather it was for the purpose of the manifestation of Christ himself in them continuing the gospel that has been commanded by God to preach to the world that all souls might be saved even when he is ascended to heaven to be with his father; the introducing of the Holy Spirit.
As Christ sent his disciples, so He sends us today as Christians on the same journey with the same task. He has sent us as lamb among wolves. The world will not always agree with us, it will want to turn you away from God, and deceive you to doubt your faith. As Christians we should remember always our heritage. We are his disciples; we are sons and daughters of God. We have laid down our lives before Him and for Him, and that’s the assurance we have; that He will surely save us and be with us.

Going further, it is very important to note in our Christian walk, compromising our faith to gain acceptance to the world is not the gospel Christ tasked us to preach or share with the world. Compromise can come in different ways; philosophy, culture, beliefs, etc. Light does not bend to darkness and as Christians we don’t bend to the system of the world. God will always have the glory. To further the gospel, Christ does not needs us to improvise for Him, seeking favors and accepting contrary teachings just so we can blend in (it is not what Christ intended). As God has called us, He has also given us authority and He also is at work in us as we are His vessel giving glory unto Him.

You cannot be a Christian and half. There is no dual citizenship when it comes to the Gospel of Christ.



“Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves”

CALL OUT YOUR JOSEPH

Bible characters have always being a very interesting topic. I get to read and immerse myself into the story and lives of the various characters God used to show forth His glory. This post is directed to Christians; youths and adults alike, and also to anyone who is willing to be touched by it. I do have a thing for Joseph though. Yeah Joseph…... Joseph was a lot of things: He was young, in turn innocent and naive. He had a dream, which turned out be his vision and destiny. He was loved by his father, envied by his brothers. He was sold, he slaved, and finally he rose from the ashes and became a model for Christian youths today. My focus on his story is when he found himself in the lair of the seductress/temptress. Many youths/adults alike today will never pass on sex. In fact it has become a standard for being a man, so whenever one has the chance to prove him/herself worthy to their friends, they heed its call. Well as for me I beg to differ just like Joseph did....

THANK GOD FOR JESUS

T hank God for Jesus Christ. Thank God for making the ultimate sacrifice for man. Man in our fallibility is beyond redemption by his own standard We already failed in our ability to redeem ourselves After a series of personal experience and inward reflection, I put it that we all are not without sin No matter how hard we try to prove we can do it on our own the more we fail There is no perfection in sin, since the Eden experience where man embraced sin the perfection of the flesh was corrupted Thank God for the perfection of His Son. God cannot and will never behold sin, but yet he still tolerates us No it isn’t double standard, but mercy Mercy on who? You Through who? His Son When God looks at us, he doesn’t see us in our nature We in ourselves cannot behold his presence with our filth no matter our self-righteousness He sees his ultimate sacrifice in us, when God looks at us He sees his Son’s sacrifice And it is becaus...

A PRAYER FOR CHANGE

I don't how many of you feel this way inside. I don't know what spiritual battle is going within you, the truth is you are not alone. We all are in this together, like it or not, believe it or not, we all have our spiritual battles to contend with. A battle of self actualization, meaning, and divine purpose. We definitely need Divine assistance. It takes a lot for man to realize his mistakes, but to change is really a great deal I’ve been bad to myself and to the people around me I know what I’m to do, but doing it is hard I have played all my cards and got nothing That’s why Father I’ve come to Thee for one thing I have prayed, you’ll say not hard enough I have fasted, you say not with my heart I do read my bible; you say it’s always in a rush This time around I do not want to do it alone I can’t do it by myself; One thing I do ask of you Heavenly Father I need your COMPASSION. My spirit’s willing but my flesh won’t commit I have tried and...
