FREEDOM IN CHRIST

On Friday 27 April 2012, South Africa celebrated freedom day, Christ died for us so that we can also be free, He laid down his precious life so that we can be free, we used to be called gentiles and didn’t even know God, we were living our life the way it pleases us being slaves to sin and immorality, but the precious blood of Jesus Christ shed for us broke that barrier and set us free, we are now free from sin and have the promise of an eternal life Jesus gave us.

Jesus freed people from demonic possessions, he freed a woman caught in adultery, true freedom is found in Christ, when Christ frees you, you are free indeed!! The freedom that is in Christ brings happiness, joy and peace. We used to be ignorant, we didn’t even acknowledge God for all the good things He has done for us, but He freed us from ignorance and opened our eyes, God sent His wonderful Son Jesus Christ so that we can have life, He sent him to make us free.


We should not fear demons, evil spirits and the devil as they have no power over our lives and Jesus freed us and still frees those who are captives of evil spirits, even today Jesus still frees God’s people as the freedom found in Jesus is everlasting, God used Moses to free the Israelites from Pharaoh’s iron rule in Egypt, he took them out after see their suffering as He didn’t want His children to suffer, He sent Moses to free them as He knows the importance of freedom.

No matter what you may go through, God will free you, whatever problem you may face God will free you from it, sickness, debt, marriage or anything worrying you, God will free you from it, true freedom is not found in friends, families or the work we do but it is found in Christ, allow God to free you because he who the Son of God set free is free indeed, true freedom is found in Christ. To God be the Glory.

BE STRONG IN THE LORD AT ALL TIMES

When life seems difficult we want to give up, we want to lose hope so much that we see nothing working, when we are faced with challenges and hardships of life, we even forget that God is there all the times, we hurry so much in putting our faith into friends who at the end disappoint us and tell the whole world about our problems. Hardships are not there to weaken us but they are there to make us stronger.
The word of God tells us to be strong at all times, to have patience at all times, when people don’t like us or hate us lets not worry as God loves us so much as we are special and dear to him, we waste our precious time worrying about what people say about us instead of what God say about us, without God we are nothing!!! Child of God why are you so concerned about what people say about you? Gossiping about you instead of worrying about serving God, dedicating your life to God and pleasing only him!
The world we live in will never love us as we are not of the world but we are children of God, do not be alarmed or worried when the world hate you, persecute you but be strong at all times being faithful and never losing faith in God, whatever that you might be going through, whether you have lost your loved one, friend, family or anything close and important to you never cease to praise God and have faith only in him at all times.
Always find ways to please God, make Him your greatest best friend of them all and tell only God your secrets as God wont judge you and He wont go around telling the whole world your secrets, burden, tears or hardships like most of our so-called friends does but God will wipe away every tear from our eyes and bring everlasting joy and smiles to our eyes.
Be strong and faithful at all times and God shall reward you, trust only him. No matter how long you suffer, be strong in the Lord at all times, no matter how many may hate you and do all evil things to get you down be strong in the Lord because nothing formed against you shall prosper. To God be the Glory.

Let God Tame your Tongue

A tongue is a fire, a world of evil among parts of the body, it corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire and is itself set on fire by hell( James 3:6-), the tongue is full of evil as it gossips, slanders, talks bad about Gods people and plans evil, we should learn to tame our tongue as un-Godly talk comes out of our mouths, by the very same tongue we sing praises to God Almighty and by the same tongue we talk evil and plan the fall of other people.
Child of God learn to tame your tongue, watch the company of friends you find yourself among and what they say about Gods people, if your friend uses their tongues to pluck destruction and annihilate lives please leave that company, if you find yourself among people who gossip also move from that company of friends as they use their tongue to gossip and speak un-Godly.
The tongues causes cursing to  others, the tongue curses men who have been made out of God’s image, they plan and mastermind all kids of evil and for this evil plans to come to action the tongue plays the biggest role as it stirs and directs which way should be led and followed. Chid of God I humbly urge you to be careful of what you say, let your words build but not annihilate, let what comes out of your mouth build one another and bring forth love.
God is love and out of His mouth comes life, so be it with us, what comes out of our mouths should praise God and bring life to others.
May God Almighty tame out tongue ‘s and keep us from filthy talks and things hindering us from talking clean talk, God is the only one who can tame our tongue’s and make clean holy talk come out of our mouths. To God Be The Glory.

LET GOD CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS

Thoughts are things that actually possess dynamic power, you can actually think yourself into or out of the situation, you can literally make yourself ill with your thoughts and by the same token you can make yourself well by the use of a different and healing type of thought, for example you can wake up in the morning  and tell yourself that your day is going to be a mess and that is exactly what will happen for the whole day or you tell yourself that it is going to be a beautiful day for you and the result of that thought will be beautiful and you will enjoy your day, that is why you need God to control your thoughts and always give you positive thoughts and make you to think positively as God is the only one who can read our thoughts and knows what we thinking always, it is only God that can cast out negative thoughts that will bring bad things and disasters in our lives. 

The world in which we live is not primarily determined by our outward situation but by thoughts that frequently occupy our mind and if we let God to occupy our mind, we can see change in our lives, success and a positive world and South Africa as everything starts with thinking before it can become action. God knows everything about us, what we thinking even if we don’t know what we thinking about and negative thoughts that can destroy us needs to be casted out by Lord Jesus.

In the bible, God asks “Who knows the mind of God so that he can instruct him?”, no one knows the mind of God, not even his angels!! But God knows our minds, thoughts, what we think every minute, second, day or night God know all about it. You can think your way to your own failure and unhappiness but you can also think your way to your success and happiness, God desires and wants only the best for you, get rid of that evil and negative thought hanging in your mind wanting to be unleashed, invite God to clean your mind, get negative thoughts away and replace them with beautiful ones that God wants for you as God knows and wants only the best for you.
Let us strive to improve the level of our thinking, let us invite God to let us always think positively to better our lives and should always strive to fill our minds with positive thoughts by asking God to help us always think positively with Him in our lives. To God be the Glory.

SHOUT TO THE LORD


Sometimes you feel lonely, you feel unwanted, you feel as if the whole world is against you try all things to find happiness within you, you happen to put others first before your happiness, in the end you are hurting, you try to find happiness and peace in all the wrong places while hanging with the wrong type of people who in the end won’t tell you what you doing is wrong but will laugh at you when you end up as nothing and vanish into thin air, then you will now realise who your true friends are but in all this the is hope that will last for eternity, don’t look any further, shout to the Lord, He will never let you down.
 He is the father you’ve been looking for all your life, He knows everything about you, when you rise up and when you sit down, He is familiar with all your ways, even the hairs on your head are numbered, you were made in his image and He knew you before you were conceived and choose you when He planned creation, you were not a mistake but fearfully and wonderfully  made and all the days of your life are written in his book, God determined the exact time of your birth and where you will live and knit you together in your mothers womb and brought you forth when you were born, He is not distant and angry but the complete expression of love and it is His desire to lavish His love on you, He offers you more than your earthly father ever could and every good gift you receive comes from Him as He loves you with an everlasting love while His thoughts towards you are countless as the sand on the seashore, shout to the Lord and cast all your burden to HIM, he will never let you down, every time you come across obstacles remember to always SHOUT TO THE LORD.
