The Call To Repentance

Luke 9:23-25

Accepting Christ means dying to the world, and dying to the flesh. Dying to the lust of earthly desires and vanity.
Accepting and following Christ means acknowledging your weakness and frailty knowing that you're not perfect; to be confident and totally dependent on God for in Him there is life everlasting.

What will it profit you to toil and gather riches, power and wealth only to die without knowing Jesus Christ without believing in his sacrifice and without fulfilling your divine purpose. Jesus calls us to live for eternity and to do the work he started; to bring people into the new life of His righteousness by faith as opposed to our righteousness by works (human effort).

We do not need be perfect before we approach Him. He knows our weakness and frailty, but by His resurrection granted us His righteousness, and all he requires of us is to preach His goodness to others that they might be free from the law, self righteousness, that he freed us from by identifying with His sacrifice on the cross of Calvary.

God wants to use you for His glory, now is the time to make yourself available. do not excuse your imperfection. He qualifies the called, he doesn't call the qualified.

"Whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it"

Be transformed

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...

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....

KNOW THY SOURCE

Knowledge is power, and information is knowledge, and one can say information is power. More important is the source of knowledge or the information, and in every aspect of life it holds meaning and significance in our lives. The authenticity of the knowledge that is sought sharpens ones minds, builds ones character, and determines ones destiny. Having pointed that out, I have an experience to share. The scriptures make us to understand the people of God which was Israel at the time perished due to lack of knowledge. Simply put the people did not have adequate and true information or knowledge about their God and even if they did they rejected the truth. They often times let their selves be deceived by false teachings and the unbelievers around them. They began to indulge in the ungodly acts that God had instructed them not to do. The scriptures also implore us as Christians to study the word of God to show ourselves approved and to rightly divide the word of truth. To expand...
