As Christ's Soldier

As Christ's Soldier
2 Timothy 2:3

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Hello God's Images, our acceptance to follow and serve God enlisted us into His army automatically. We are to grow in God's grace and become a good soldier. This grace is available for growth but until we decide to grow, we won't grow.

The above scripture advises us to endure the growing process, for it is part of our training. Yes! Hardness of different types will come, hitting you from every side but you have to hold on to the grace of God. In enduring the hardness we see and partake of makes us a good soldier of God whereby by our endurance we train the younger ones in faith. Paul endured and he was able to train Timothy and others.

Jesus even told us that hardness will come to us and we should know that He was hit and went through training by enduring, John 15:18. No enduring, no victory.

May God enable us to make do of His grace to grow becoming good soldiers of Christ, Amen.

Don’t Look Back!

Don’t Look Back! Luke 9:62 – And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Have you answered the call to serve God as His son and daughter? Have you totally chosen Jehovah as your God? Have you decided to leave your old ways and cleave unto God? If yes! Beloved I congratulate you. But hope you took the cost of your choice?? [Please refer to yesterday’s sermon] God doesn’t want us to look back when we have answered the call, why? This is because of the following: Firstly, it brings shame to the body of Christ and makes people to despise Christ. Looking back is to be lukewarm and to depart from the first love! [Revelation 2:4, Revelation 3:16] Secondly, looking back makes the believer to suffer backwardness spiritually and physical. The faith of the believer suffers and takes a longer time to be rebuilt. [Hebrews 6:4]. Thirdly, looking back will make the person not to complete whatever he or she has started. This is w...

Faulty Covenant

Faulty Covenant Hebrews 8:7 [7] For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Covenant as a strong bound that is not easily broken can be faulty. The covenant made betwixt God and the Israelites was a faulty covenant in this time of Grace but perfect in it's time. The covenant wasn't to lead sinner's unto Christ's but it was to lead them unto their destructive end quickly. The old covenant was a period of darkness and pains (because it was more by works and not by grace) but thanks to God who invalidated the old covenant and gave us the covenant of Grace where Jesus is the mediator no longer Moses. God spoken of the new covenant long ago in Jeremiah 31:31; it was manifested in Christ. This new covenant brings light to the soul. Every covenant that do not bring light to your life, be destroyed now by fire! Whatever makes you to live by work and not by grace be destroyed! For God's name sake, let everyt...

A Song of Praise and Thanksgiving

Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves, We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; — Psalm 100:3-5 NKJV A Song of Praise and Thanksgiving Enjoy the verse insights on this passage from The MacArthur Study Bible. Verses 100:1–5 This well–known psalm, emphasizing the universal nature of God's kingship, is a benediction to the series of psalms which are occupied with the Lord's kingdom rule (Psalms 93, 95–100).
