Mary and Elizabeth are two very unique women in the Bible. Mary at the time was a virgin and so it was impossible for her to carry a child. Despite this, she had Jesus. Elizabeth at the time was too old to bear a child. Despite this, she had John. Who are these women? These two women that availed and separated themselves for God, thus changing lives.

Who Are These Women

When doing the work of God, there is an eternal weight to what we are fighting for. We are striving for a crown, a crown which will be awarded to us by God. There are things to do in our worship that will enable us to obtain these crowns, as we are running towards the mark. Strive for the crown that you will receive in eternity!

Genuine Worship And Striving For The Crown

Baptism does not equal salvation; it is a symbol that you are a believer. Baptism goes hand in hand with repentance and shows that you identify with the burial, death and resurrection of Christ. Baptism is not there to remove the filth of the flesh, but, for us to be baptised into an excellent way of life.

The Saving Power Of Baptism- 1 Peter 3 : 18-21

It’s important to recognise that God is a God of mercy. God hears the cry of mercy. When you are a master of crying out for mercy you will not be stranded in the highways of life. When you seek God, you obtain mercy. When you obtain mercy, you are not be forsaken.

Lord Have Mercy

Keep God's Word

You can't love the world and the Father at the same time. 1 John 5:19 tells us that the whole world lies in wickedness. The moment you start to love and lust after the things of this world as a born again Christian, you are under the control of satan.

How To Enter God's Rest

Amongst God’s people, leaven stands for sin, hypocrisy and wrong teachings. The people of God must stay far away from leaven as we know a little leaven leavens the whole lump (Galatians 5:9). In order to make it in The Way, we must watch out against the little leaven and feed on wholesome words which include the word of God and sound doctrine.

The Way - A Little Leaven

Going to church does not make you a Christian, just like staying in a garage doesn’t make you a car. Being a Christian is not based on what you are wearing, the cross you own or the church you attend. Being a true Christian is birthed from within. When you are a Christian, it shows in your love for Christ, hatred for sin and faith and love for God's Word.

How To Know You Are A True Christian

The place of covenant is your place of advantage, refuge upper hand, lifting and rising. The place of covenant is the only place where God can bring to bear His promises in our lives. God values the covenant you have with a place and the covenant you have with people. Don’t detach yourself from the place of covenant because God is a God of covenant. If you can stay in the place of covenant, you will be taken care of.

Don't Stay Away From The Place of Covenant

God is rich in mercy, meaning that there is always room for us in him as Christians. There are things that happen, which can open us up to negative elements. 
However, when we enter Gods presence, there are things we can do to trigger the mercy of God that protects, and sustains us. The mercy of God covers us, defends us and protects us.
