Being Bold

Being Bold Acts 1:8; 2:14 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem ... unto the uttermost part of the earth. But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them ... be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: Boldness comes from Jehovah via the receiving of the Holy Spirit. The disciples became bold after their empowerment. Note that before their empowerment they waited patiently (they were in the Spirit's training school). It is the Holy Spirit and not any earthly substance that makes a Christian bold enough to confront the wickedness in high places.

Now that we are not dead and now that Christ have not returned is the appropriate time for us to remember God. Remembering God is doing His will both in actions and inactions. It is striving to please God. May God give us the Grace to always God in our actions a

Flexing Your Youth

Flexing Your Youth Ecclesiastes  11:9-10 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. So remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity. There is a lot of enjoyment and flexing in youthhood but not all leads to eternity. Not all enjoyment give peace and real joy. Some are the devil's strategy to caging souls. Are you ignorant or aware of the devil's strategy? 2 Corinthians 2:11. The real enjoyment is one that is done in the knowledge of God's judgement. That is constraining your enjoyment to fit into God's plan for your life thereby pleasing Yehweh. Beloved, what's your youthhood like? Does your enjoyment please and glorify God or Satan. You see, real enjoyment is in verse 10; take away evil and sorrow (not pleasing Go
