BUILD YOURSELF UP IN THE FAITH

But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Jude 1:20-21 NIV EXPOSITION The Christian walk is characterized with lots of missiles thrown from the camp of the enemy at any point in time. Think about what happened to Job and the other great servants of God. Their faith was tested on many occasions. The apostles for instance, were chained, imprisoned, and flogged but because their faith was firmly built on the ROCK, they never gave up. Job, the Bible says never sinned against God in all his difficulties. To build our faith, we need to be connected with the Holy Spirit who will teach, remind, direct, rebuke, and comfort us in the good and bad times. We ought to fast and pray in the Spirit of God to be in tune with God as we build our faith May God's love and mercy be your portion as you take steps to build up your fa

HOW DOES GOD MEASURE LIFE?

Then he said, "Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own." Luke 12:15 NLT EXPOSITION We live in a day where corrupt, wicked and evil practices are widespread all in the name of accumulating wealth. Society today embrace the rich regardless of how they made their wealth. God is not against the rich, He is not against living a good life. He is against using questionable means to make it in life.

Let's not live like the rich man whose land yielded an abundant harvest, stored the surplus grain and said to himself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepare

WHERE IS MY NAME WRITTEN?

"Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:15 NIV EXPOSITION Are you in the good books of God or in his bad books. Let's interrogate ourselves if our way of life so far pleases the Lord. If God is pleased with our choices in life, then we are hopeful of eternal joy otherwise eternal destruction awaits us. "...The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear." Matthew 13:40-43 NIV God forgive us our iniquities and straighten our ways before you. May our names be found in the book of life for us to shine in your Kingdom. May the bless his word and may he bless you as well. ROKANSAH
