Lay Them Off Hebrews 12:1 – Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us The moment that you and I declared ourselves for Jesus, we became the point of interest to the world. The world started watching and monitoring you and I, to see how long we will be in the new faith and also to see, point and announce our shortcomings. This is the great cloud of witness that is compassed about us. We are Christians walking towards perfection. This perfection is gotten by the laying off of weights and sin that beset us easily [often and often]. These weights and sins to some are lay off at once but to some it is a gradual process. The final point is let the weights and sins be laid off! Beloved you know yourself; after you do your self-examination then lay off the weights and sins that have beset you. If the sins and weights

Do Self-Examination 2 Corinthians 13:5 – Examine your own selves if ye be in the faith; prove your own selves: do ye not recognise yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed ye be reprobates? As Christians, there is a need for constant self-examination. This is not to condemn one’s self but to know if one is growing in the faith.

Beloved of God, self-examination is never to condemn yourself but to retrace your steps and return to the old path [way]; Jeremiah 6:16. Self-examination is the process undergone in order th

What Is The Access? John 10:1-2 – Truly I say to you, He who does not go through the door into the place where the sheep are kept, but gets in by some other way, is a thief and an outlaw. He who goes in by the door is the keeper of the sheep. The access used matters a lot. There is a door and there are ‘doors’ as well as there is a way and there are ‘ways’. We the sheep should always watch the access used to get to us. Is it through the door or through the ‘doors’? The ‘doors’ are those that seems like the door but are in no way the door. The Bible makes us to understand that the door and the way is Jesus; John 10:7-9, John 14:6. Any keeper of the sheep [church leader or pastor or teacher of the Bible] that is not accessing the sheep [teaching, nurturing, grooming and pruning the sheep] in the name of Jesus is a thief and an outlaw so says the Bible. It is our responsibility as the sheep to know the access used in reaching us. Are we being taught in the name of the Lord Jesu
