Jealousy leads to destruction

I know that everyone on earth have been jealous at someone at one point. Whether is about little things or big things, Jealousy is Jealousy. Be very careful what you do when you are jealous. God is very serious about the this, he even written it in the Ten Commandments. In Exodus 20:17: ¹⁷ “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” 
In the story of Abel and Cain in the First Murder, Cain was Jealous of his little brother Abel because God accepted Abel's Sacrifice because Abel gave from his heart, the best and finest of all his lambs, to give to God. But Cain didn't do that, he gave what he didn't need and sparely to God too. But because of his Jealousy he killed Abel and then God confronted him and curse him and all of his generation to come. 
Many of us now a day would be jealous of someone's new house, cars, financial stability, talents etc... Some would even steal from others because of that jealousy inside of them. 
My brothers and Sisters in Christ don't be Jealous of others but instead rejoice with them for all their blessing and gifts. Let us rejoice and give thanks to the Lord for all that he does for us. Appreciate what you do have and thank God for them.

How does Faith works in our LIFE?

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidences of things not seen."
When you have faith even as little as a mustard seed, you can move mountains. What does that mean? That plainly means that even if you have a little faith, you can make things happen. For example: in the story of Daniel and the Lion's den, Daniel have faith in GOD that is why he always pray three times a day. When the King issue the decree that they can't pray to any other God but him, Daniel still pray to His God, Our Father who is in heaven. When they caught him and throw him in the lion's den, Daniel have Faith that God will delivered him from those lion and God did. The Faith that Daniel have is absolute trust in God, without any room for Doubting.
That is how our Faith should be like. We can say we have Faith but just saying the word "Faith" or "I believe" won't do anything. You have to act upon your Faith. Do it. Because Faith without action is Dead. There's no power in that. So when you go on your everyday life, remember to have Faith in God and act on your faith in all that you do.

False doctrines

You know we always ask what is the right thing to do. Which doctrine of teaching is the one from God. Well this passage that I'm about to show you is what Apostle Paul said thousands of years ago. He warns us about false doctrines. Comment where do you see this passage happening. If you believe in these false doctrines I advise you to leave it and repent and walk in the light with Jesus Christ, holding his Word (The BIBLE) as a sound doctrine for your life. The passage is taken from 1 Timothy 4:1-16

 4 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

6 If you point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, brought up in the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed. 7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. 8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

9 This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance 10 (and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe.

11 Command and teach these things. 12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. 14 Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you.

15 Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. 16 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.

Growth in Faith

GROWTH IN FAITH

When we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and repented of our sins, we became a newborn baby in Christ Jesus. In the beginning we still make mistakes and sin. But as a parent is patient with their baby so is God with us. As a mother and father teaches and discipline their children, Our Father in heaven also teaches us and discipline us. God loves us and he wants us to learn all that he has planned for our life. But in order for us to get there we have to pass our Test of Faith.  When we face troubles and obstacles we are being tested for our Faith. And each time we pass the test we go on to the next level. Our problems that we usually dwells on is nothing but our exam to pass our grade. Just as our school system have grade K-12 and then college, so does our Faith and walk with Christ is. We started on the easy level and then it gets harder and harder each level we pass. So our faith comes the same way, The harder your obstacle is the more faith  and grace is needed to overcome them. So we all have to build up our faith in Christ. So rejoice in all your circumstances. Have Faith that God has already given you enough grace to overcome it. Pray continuously everyday, with thanksgiving and supplication let your request be made known unto him.  So do not be despair when problems comes your way because that is your exam for the next level in your faith. When we can handle little things, God will give us greater things to do in the future. Thanks for reading May God Bless You. =D

THE ARMOR OF GOD

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 
11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 
14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 
16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 
17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
EPHESIANS 6:10-18

Now notice that the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. You see int the word Sword, there is the word WORD in it. so it explains that we need the Word of GOD to fight against the Devil and his angels.

READING the BIBLE!

OK I've heard a lot of people make stupid excuses not to read their Bible. Some are: I don't have time or I don't understand it, or it's too hard, or it's too long. Let me tell you that The BIBLE is the Word of God. It is HOLY and it has Power for those who believe. The Word of God is not meant to be read like a regular old Book. You can't unlock the Bible by just reading it. You need the HOLY SPIRIT to unlock it. If you don't have the Holy Spirit then you won't understand anything when you read it. God loves us and send us his Spirit who searches all things even the deep things of God. God is love and he wants us to understand his word and use it as a Sword. When reading your BIBLE you always need to pray. Because by praying you are talking to God and by reading his Word, God is talking to you. A relationship consist of Talking and Listening and that is how we developed our relationship with Christ. Prayer and Bible reading always go together. But to understand what God is saying to you through his Word, you need to have the Holy Spirit. How do you have the HOLY Spirit?
Cry out to God, confess your sins to him, repent and ask him for Forgiveness and then Ask God to fill you up with the HOLY SPIRIT. He would love to give it to you, all you have to do is ask.
Thanks and MAY GOD BLESS YO WITH HIS HOLY SPIRIT MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST.

LOVE

Love is the most powerful forces of the entire universe. It can impact a many people's life. We all have love for our family no matter what they do, we still love them. That is the same way that God is towards us. He made us in his own image:
"Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth,^[b] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”'  Genesis 1:26.
That way we became the family of God. We look like him and we have authority over every living creatures on Earth. Now with that being the case, God is our creator and our Father. Adam and Eve sinned against God and when they sinned once, sin has entered the world through one man. "For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

^"21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. ²² For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive."  1 Corinthians 15:21-22
You see God loves us so much that he gave his only begotten son to died for our sins so that we may receive life through him. Jesus Died as an atoning sacrifice for us. That way we are bought by the blood of Jesus and we have freedom to choose to live with Jesus Christ or to Died with the Devil and his angels. When I say live or died I don't mean just the flesh but also the Spirit. This is the greatest love there is.
If we don't have love we have nothing. For God is working in love.

"If I speak in the tongues^[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. ² If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. ³ If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,^[b] but have not love, I gain nothing."        1 Corinthians 13:1-3

You see we are nothing without love. We can do a lot of things but it would be pointless and gain nothing at all whatsoever. For Jesus taught us to Love the Lord our GOD with all our hearts, with all our soul, and with all our might. And Love our neighbors as ourselves. So Love is his greatest commandment. So let us live in love and walk in love in our everyday life. 

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13
