Beauty is vain, it passes. Your beauty product should not be just the things you wear and what we see about you. There must be an inner beauty; a certain beauty product that emanates from your spirit. The beauty product of a fashionable woman is inside of you; Christ.

Beauty Product Of The Fashionable Woman

The second coming of Christ is a promise. It has already been spoken by the prophets and new testament apostles. If you lose sight of the second coming, you cannot live life the way God wants you to.

Being a human means we have sins and flaws, but Jesus came to die for our sins.  In order for Jesus to be a high priest, He must also be a shepherd. A shepherd cares and guides us. Jesus, as our high priest, is compassionate, He has gone to heaven to bear us before God and is interceding for us. We, as Christians, have a heavenly carer, Jesus. But we will suffer the same fate of unbelievers if we fail to believe He cares for us.

The Great High Priest And Shepherd

Covenants have to do with people, a person or a place. God has a place of His choice so His covenant can work for us. There is a place in Jerusalem called ‘Mount Zion’. Zion is the church, the choice and dwelling place of God. Zion typifies the church in its heavenly, spiritual and eternal state. If you are born again, you have come to Mount Zion.

Zion, The Choice Of God

Mercy is life-changing. Every act of mercy is a demonstration of God's faithfulness. Once you discover mercy, you begin to encounter the faithfulness of God. When mercy speaks for you, the outcome of your life will be different.

There is a church culture that we have to be taught. There is a way to behave in church that does not come naturally. So, what is the church culture? It's is a culture that is only defined by the dictates, demands and didactics of scripture. We are not of the world, we are of the Word therefore, we have to live our lives based on the Word.

The True Church Culture- Part 2

An apostle is someone who says exactly what the person who sent them has said in the same manner. Peter was an apostle to the Jews. Peter was the first pastor, not because of his training, education or clothes but because of his love for God. There is no way you can live the Christian life without love, faith and hope.

From Simon To Peter The Apostle - 1 Peter 1:1

To obey God’s instruction we must be able to hear from him. Hearing ears are a necessity when working with God. If God wants to do anything for and with you, he will first give you a word. We must be able to hear for our faith to come alive in our spirits. This requires us to have circumcised ears.

Hearing Ears

By virtue of being a Christian, you’re a pilgrim. You’re aware of the fact that this is not your home. As a believer, God chose you from the beginning, before you even heard the gospel. Your best life cannot be here.

Elected Aliens - 1 Peter 1:2

When you come to Christ, it’s not about the things you have done in the past, it’s about what He has done for you. When you become born again, you have already been chosen; now, it’s time to walk in obedience. The Holy Spirit sanctifies us unto obedience. He gives us a new inclination and desire to please God.

Sanctified For Obedience - 1 Peter 1:2

God is the instrumental cause of our salvation. He is the mastermind behind us being born-again. If you are born again, grace was allocated to you before the world began. When Jesus comes, grace comes. Anyone who has Jesus in their life receives grace. You can only do the things of God by grace.

Thank God I'm Born Again - 1 Peter 1:2

As believers, our hope is a living hope. When you become born again, there’s an automatic hope that is generated in you; it’s called the hope of glory.  There is hope for your future because we have been born again into a living hope. Don’t lose hope, don’t give up because the days ahead are glorious.

Our Hope Is A Living Hope - 1 Peter 1:3-4

Spiritual growth is not automatic.; it doesn’t occur with time but with practice. To grow as a believer, you must have an insatiable desire for God’s word. When you become born-again, there is a craving for God’s word inside of you but you have to actively develop it.
