More Than Mental Faith

By Date -
MEDITATION

James 2:10-26
More than mental faith and confession

1. The laws of God by which man will be judged are more than the 10 commandments vv9,10. 
2. 99.9% obedience = 100% disobedience to God vv10-13. No man can please the Holy God by good works without definite salvation or new birth experience.
3. While good works cannot save any except by personal faith in Christ, genuine faith is known by the good works we manifest vv14-16.
4. Divine Mathematics
a. Good works - faith in Christ = 0% (total failure). Galatians 2:16, Ephesians 2:8,9.
b. Faith in Christ - good works = 0% (total failure) vv14, 17, 26.
c. Faith - good works = vain religion v20. 
c. A man of faith without a new life in Christ is not better than Satan v19. 
d. Faith + fruits of repentance + good works = 100% v22.
e. Any score less than 100% is failure v10.
Who said new birth minus holy living is sufficient?



Lord, I realise that good trials are not enough, give me the new birth that will turn my efforts into experience of sonship power.
Lord, I don't have confidence in my ability to please you, do a deeper work of holiness in me🙏
Pray for Church goers without new birth that they will see the need to come personally to Christ🙏
Pray for people in your community, that are deceived by mere religion of good works, that their eyes will opened to the need for Christ🙏

Divine Opening

By Date -
Divine Opening “ Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; ” - - - Isaiah 45:1 Hallelujah! God has graciously brought us to the second month of this year. As the Lord themed this year as our year of Divine Beautification so also is this month themed as our month of Divine Openings. You may be thinking how will come bring to past His promises but remember that God can do anything at any time He wishes to. He can use anyone to bring to pass this Divine Opening. From the passage, He used Cyrus to subdue nations and Jehovah using any person to do His will is not an issue. I pray that in any area of your life that you are experiencing difficult and closed doors, Jehovah will cause the doors to be open unto you. No more will you experience difficulty and shortages. The doors of your supply are open...

Do Your Search

By Date -
Do Your Search Acts 17:11 – These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. While in college and high school, you will agree with me that after you are taught by your instructor, you carried out some search to attain the truth and to know more. This we all did for a degree and knowledge that is corruptible, aren’t we supposed to do more for a knowledge that incorruptible and that will lead to our salvation? It is advisable that we should always search the scriptures even if it is the most revered religious leader or person that just spoken from the scripture. To stay deceivable then don’t study or search the scriptures but remember many even the agents of darkness can preach and quote the scriptures but they do this by tailoring the scripture to suite their purpose, 1 Thessalonians 5:21, 2 Corinthian 11:14-15. Beloved study your bible frequently, 2 Timoth...

Make Me Known!

Make Me Known! Habakkuk 3:2 [2] Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh. Renew your work in the middle of the years. In the middle of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy. Thanks to Jehovah that were in the second half of the year and in the month of revival.
