The beauty of living by the Spirit...

 Galatians 5:25

Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.

This simply means that we are born again, and by so, God has placed His Holy Spirit in us, as our guide, our help and comforter. We no longer live off by what our flesh dictates, but as the word of the Lord says, as guided by the Holy Spirit. This is inline with what 2 Corinthians 5:17 says: "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!" Now that we belong to Christ, our old self has died, and we rose up with Christ. Our old way of doing things, preferences, fleshy desires have gone, and now we are clothed with the Spirit.

Some people may find this as a negative, that their old lifestyle has been cut short, which has been of the world; but what they don't realize is that what they have gained surpasses what they have lost. By being a new creation, you have been cleansed off all your sins, you now have a close and personal relationship with God, you are now part of His family. Most importantly, you have secured yourself the life in eternity. Eternity can be a very long time; hence, you would rather sacrifice the short time we live here on earth but be guaranteed of the glory that is sure to come, post life on earth. 

In fact, with Christ on your side, you get to start your awesome life here on earth, as Jesus has come to give us life in abundance, as confirmed in John 10:10. Just be fair and see the beauty you have, now that your life is guarded by our Heavenly Father. You become untouchable, unstoppable and unbreakable, for His honour and glory!

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
