Count Not It As Strange Experience

By Date -
MEDITATION

James 1:1-15
Don't count it a strange experience please

1. The reality v2.
You will at one time or the other experience divers (not just one) situations that will tend to shake your faith John 16:33.
2. The righteousness v2,12.
This is different from temptations to sin. Believers are not to fall into temptations but we will fall into trials. We are not to endure temptations but to resist them; we are to endure trials. No sinner will experience a trial of faith because they don't have saving faith.
3. The rationale v3.
Trials of faith are permitted by God to try, test, toughen and make your faith triumphant in troublous times.



4. The roughness v8.
It is a rough experience that will expose your hypocrisy and unfaithfulness, if you don't have genuine faith, thereby propelling you to seek for the real experience.
5. The radiance v2.
Radiate the joy of the Lord without despondency because trials show that God is interested in pulling you out of the register  of hypocrites and ordinary Christians.
6. The rightness
Every believer will experience it because there is no success without scrutiny, triumph without test, divine promotion without definite purification.
7. The result
Perfection of grace and character needed to fully enjoy and be used of God to the fullest.
8. The rule v4.
You must endure to the end if you want to enjoy the full blessings and benefits.
9. The resource vv5-7.
Always ask for wisdom and grace to sail through with joy.
10. The reward v12.
Eternal reward, including the crown of life, will be given to the triumphant.
Thank you God because trial of faith will not crush me and it is for my good🙏
Holy Spirit, ever give me joy of the Lord to radiate His glory whenever I am tried🙏
I hereby ask for grace and strength to always overcome all my trials and endure to the end🙏
Lord, I ask for the joy of the Lord, which the world cannot take away, for those passing through trials of faith in the Church🙏

Don’t Look Back!

By Date -
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...

Heart Not Garment - 2

By Date -
"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

Faulty Covenant

By Date -
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...
