25. STANDING FOR CHRIST

25. STANDING FOR CHRIST.


2 Corinthians 6:14 says," Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness."

Andrea Boeshaar's Novel, ' The Long Ride Home,' refers to 'making a difference for Christ and how believers need to behave in a manner that counters worldly trends and standards.'

" It might not be popular, and you might lose a few friends...

But God will honour your obedience. Try it and see...

Our life's purpose as Christians is to glorify the Saviour in everything we do." 

Be the believer in Christ God wants you to be at work, with family, friends and your community! 

In Matthew 5:16 Jesus said, " Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."

Be proud to be a true believer in Christ who brings glory ( honour, worship, praise) to God.

" ... Conduct honourable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify (give praise to) God in the day of visitation." 1 Peter 2:12.

God bless!

29. GOD'S WORD

Image
FOOD FOR THOUGHT 29. GOD'S WORD Jesus is God's Word. John 1:1 says, In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 also says, And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Hold on to Jesus. That's how to hold on to God's Word. All the woman with the issue of blood did in Mark 5:25-34 was to touch God's Word. And she was made whole. All she said was, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well." She believed in Jesus. Believe God's Word. Say God's Word. It will manifest. God bless!   VAB, LAGOS. https://vabfood4thot.blogspot.com

26. GOD SEES THE WHOLE PICTURE

Food for Thought 26. GOD SEES THE WHOLE PICTURE Someone shared this with me about Joseph. Read Genesis Chapter 37 and from Chapters 39 to 50. Joseph had a dream. He told his brothers about it. They became jealous and sold him into slavery. Although Joseph became a slave in Potiphar's house, life started looking good again until Potiphar's wife demanded sex from him. Joseph refused, chose to be godly and ran away ... but Potiphar's wife framed him with attempted rape!  Suddenly life feels rough again, and Joseph wonders. " Oh God, why me? What are you doing to me? What about my dreams of greatness?" It seemed Joseph's brothers and Potiphar's wife had conquered Joseph. Despite all these troubles, however,God Himself had already seen the whole picture of Joseph's life from beginning to end. How do I know?  Genesis 45:7 and 8 states, " And God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliveranc...

27. FEAR GOD

FOOD FOR THOUGHT 27. FEAR GOD Exodus 1:15 -17 "Then the King of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah; and he said, "When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstools, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live." But the midwives FEARED GOD and did not do as the King of Egypt commanded them but saved the male children alive. It is very important and rewarding to fear God. 'Fear God' means you put God First in your Thoughts and Actions. "Therefore God dealt well with the midwives and the people multiplied and grew very mighty. And so it was, because the midwives feared God, that He provided households for them. " (Exodus 1: 20-21) When you fear God You will live above sin You will live holy You will live well by the Strength of Jesus Christ (Philippians 4 : 13) As you fear God, you will be blessed. You will ...
