When we are born again, we are become the Church of the living God, and we become a part of the body of Christ. Because we are part of the body of Christ, we have one shared life which is communion - a fellowship with one another. Knowing this, communion is not just a Church ritual, but a reinforcement of our oneness with Christ as the House of God.

Communion As The Church And Body Of Christ

It is very easy to go through things and feel that God is not with you and is not hearing your prayers. However, you must remember that God hears, He always hears the cries of the righteous. He also remembers them in the day of trouble. He has not forgotten you. Wait upon Him, He hears and He remembers.

God Hears And Remembers

We are a chosen generation, a unique people born of God, meaning that although we may be in the world we are not of the world and its systems. The Bible tells us that because we are born of God we are able to overcome the world by our faith. Faith is directly linked to loving and obeying God - even the worldly things that may make obedience to God difficult, we are able to overcome. Faith is a love exercise that allows us to keep the commandments of God.

Keep The Commandments Of God

What you do not pray for, you are not entitled to enjoy. Because of this, as a believer, it is important that you consistently ask God to lead you and guide you. Whether this is in good times or bad times, ask God for guidance on what you should do.

There is a certain level of glory that follows suffering. Christ suffered to give us an example of how we should also suffer. If you don’t have a mindset to suffer for doing God’s work, you will never be useful in the hands of God.  When you are suffering for Jesus, it brings you into closer fellowship with Him.

Why Christians Suffer - Part 1: Don't Waste Your Suffering - 1 Peter 4 : 1-3

Suffering is a necessary requirement in our journey to glory. Glory always follows our suffering. For us to utilise our suffering, we must have an attitude of endurance. Your suffering has an assignment and purpose, don’t waste it. Arm yourself with the mindset that if you are partaking in Christ’s suffering, you will also partake in the eternal glory and blessings that are ahead.

Everything created has an end. When you understand that you are running out of tomorrows, you are provoked to live better. There is no way you can live an effective Christian life without the end being in view. Because the end is at hand, you must start to approach life from a different angle. Realise that you are running out of time!

Losing The Soul Part 2

The Bible is filled with marriage. This is not just marriage between man and woman, but between the eternal, triune God, and His corporate people whom He has chosen. You can’t separate God from the Church. This is the love affair.

The Love Affair

As a believer, it may come to a time that others around you are beginning to give themselves to things that are not of God. Some will give themselves to the teachings and infiltration of Jezebel. However, amongst these will also be the ones who will overcome. Some will enjoy Jesus in a way that others haven’t, because they overcame. You must be determined that you will be an overcoming believer.
