Righteous Idol Worshipper

A Must Read.

This message has awoken me dearly and I think you need it too. I thought I should share as received.

The Righteous Idol Worshipper?

I wondered why I was in the queue of accused at all. I am intelligent, aggressive, young, totally committed to my God. What am I doing here with this sheet of supposed sins in my hand I wondered?

I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't fornicate, I don't steal, I am righteous. Others should be here not me.

It was finally my turn to face the Man.

I placed my sheet before Him, He glanced at it and sighed softly. He looked at me and calmly said "Guilty of Idol Worship.

Imagine my anger, my fury, my indignation, I jumped out of the chair and said 'Of course not! Check the sheet again, check the name, it can't be mine.

He sighed again and mentioned one of my names that no one knows.

I would not be stopped. It's impossible' I yelled. I worship only God, the Most High, Maker of heaven and earth, the King of kings and Lord of lords. I bow down to none, I have no talisman, no amulet, no pot underneath my bed.

'You are guilty of idol worship' he repeated calmly.

He looked at me, I looked at Him. It seemed like forever.  The room was silent I could hear the clock ticking.

4 Principles on How to Begin a New Life in Jesus Christ

Knowing Jesus Christ is the most exciting relationship you can have. It is the beginning of a life of adventure with an all-loving, all-powerful God.

Also, you will begin a Bible study series which has had a positive influence on thousands of lives. Each lesson of Your Life in Christ builds upon the previous one and together they furnish practical understanding which will help you experience the Christian life as God intends.

The following 4 principles concisely explain what a person needs to know to begin a new life in Christ. A brief review of these scriptural truths will provide a starting point for being confident in your relationship with Christ.

 Principle No. 1

God loves you and created you to know Him personally. As it is written in John 3:16a – that “For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”

    Principle No. 2

   Man is sinful and separated from God, so we cannot know Him personally or experience His love. In Romans 6: 23, it is written “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”.

Principle No. 3 

   Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for man’s sin. Through Him alone we can know God personally and experience His love. Again, as John 3:16 stated, “For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”

     Principle No. 4. 

    We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord; then we can   know God personally and experience His love. In Romans 10:13, it is written that “for everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved”.

Many people who have received Jesus Christ into their lives may still ask, “How can a person who has received Christ know with certainty that he will spend eternity with God?”

The answer to this important question supplies the foundation on which your Christian life can be built. In next few days, we will look at what the Bible says about how we can have confidence in our relationship with God.

Where is your Treasure?

How to Focus on Things With Eternal Value  by Rick Warren

Don't hoard treasure down here where it gets eaten by moths and corroded by rust or—worse!—stolen by burglars. Stockpile treasure in heaven, where it's safe from moth and rust and burglars. It's obvious, isn't it? The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being. (Matthew 6:19-21 MSG).

The real secret to becoming content is to focus on the things that have eternal value. It may be a familiar teaching to you, but Jesus said we should store up our treasures in heaven, not on earth, “where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal” (Matthew 6:19-21, NIV). 

Think about the things in your life:

• What will last forever?
• What will last at least for your lifetime?
• What will last a few short years, months, or days?

Based on eternal value, what things are most important in your life? Where — and with whom — should you put most of your time and energy?

By reorganizing your life around eternal priorities, you’ll find yourself growing in contentment as you live according to God’s design and purpose. 

In conclusion, let us seek to focus on what matters most, that is the "Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all other things shall be added".

Stay blessed!
Shalom

How to be the Light of the World

If you want to become the light of the world, you must do the following:

1.     Acknowledge that you are sinner;

2. Accept that Jesus came to die for your sins – John 3:16;

3.   …If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved – Romans 10:9. (This means that you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Personal Saviour).

 

After you have gone through the above steps, then you can now read the article below to become the light of the world as Jesus says you are. 
 

Jesus Says You Are the Light of the World by Jon Walker

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:13-16 NIV)

 You cannot make yourself the light of the world. Jesus says you are the light of the world because of your relationship with him. “The God who said, ‘Out of darkness the light shall shine!’ is the same God who made his light shine in our hearts, to bring us the knowledge of God's glory shining in the face of Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6 TEV). 
 

God speaks the light of Jesus into our hearts, and his light shines so powerfully through us that we are like stars in the universe that point the whole human race toward real life (Philippians 2:15-16).
 

This is a portrait of discipleship. Jesus, who is the light of the world, re-creates us into the light of the world. We are light, not because of anything in ourselves, but because we are in a supernatural union with the light of the world. He calls us to follow after him, and he says, “Whoever follows me will have the light of life and will never walk in darkness” (John 8:12 TEV).
 

Our focus must always be on the light, humbly trusting Jesus to reveal the light through us. Prayerfully remember:
 

·      My influence and visibility is a result of who lives in me, not because of what I do. It is God who puts me in a place of influence and visibility.
 

·        I am merely a steward of my influence and visibility, so it is important I get out of the way and let Jesus work through me.
 

Only God can measure the significance of my influence and visibility. I may influence one person who will then influence the world. My focus is on following Jesus wherever he leads.
