TI1919:

That's why Christ died on the cross for our sin, that we become like him after accepting him as our Lord and personal savior, For them that are in Christ are new creation old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new,
Being a new creation in Christ simply mean our thinking and they way in which we live should be traced in Christ Jesus not the way of the world.
When we surrender our life to Christ we will see him work for our God. My life is a testimony of God work.
Christ Jesus is all we need and my desire is to be sincere in my love for him even if it means losing my life for this cause , that's one example of surrendering our even onto death.

TI1919:
Christ loved the church and gave himself for her (Eph 5:25). To build the church, we have to love the church in the same way. It is not enough to give our money or our time. We have to give ourselves. Our-self life.

When God wanted to describe his love to man, He could compare it with only one earthly example - The love of a mother for her newly born baby(Isaiah 49:15). Looking at a mother, you will discover that her love for her baby is full of the spirit of sacrifice. From early morning to late night and right through the night, a woman sacrifice wholeheartedly for her baby. She gets nothing in return. She endures pain and inconvenience year after year for her child joyfully and expect nothing in return. That's how God loves us and that's the nature he wants to impart in us.

The truth is that it is impossible to find a fellowship in the world which it can be honestly said that they love one another like that. Most believers only knows how to love those who agree with them and to join their group. Their love is human and is far from the sacrificial love of a mothers.

A mother does not care whether others around her are sacrificing for her child or not, she joyfully sacrifices everything herself. Similarly one who has seen the church as his own baby will not bother if others around him are sacrificing to the church or not, He will sacrifice himself joyfully without complaining about anyone else.

Those who complain that others are not sacrificing for the church are not mothers but hired nurses. Such nurses have fixed working hours and will complain when the nurse for next 6-hours shift does not come on time. But a mother work 24-hour shift daily year after year and never get paid for it. Even when the child is 18 years old her work is not over!!

Only mothers can have milk for there babies every day. Nurses cannot produce milk for the babies they care for. Similarly those who are like mothers in the church will always have a word for their spiritual children in every meeting. Many Pastors today have no word for the church because they are nurses not mothers.

A mother does not expect any payment from her children. No child ever pays its mother for her service. The question comes to us is: How many Pastors or Brethren today are willing to work like that for the Lord and for his church without receiving any payment, but giving oneself year after year until Jesus comes

If God can find just one person with that spirit any where, He will use him to build the church much more than he can use 100 000 half hearted believers who try to serve him without the spirit of sacrifice.

Yes, no human is a saint we all must come to Christ Jesus as sinner that's why he came to save sinners and give them grace to overcome sin in our earthly vessel(Apostle Paul)

The joy of working the way of Christ is that he cleans us from all unrighteousness and give us clean sheets and also filled us with a wonderful gift of the holy spirit which help us to walk in a world full of darkness without sinning. That's the joy.

They Lord will strengthen you if you make up your mind to come to him.

we are human no one is above sin.. but then God can give you the power to... if you ask for it he will give you the grace to overcome it he is a mercyful God

The bible says in Isaiah 59:1-2
Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor his ear dull, that he cannot hear.
But your inequities have separated you from God; and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.
One thing with walking with God is that :
He knows your condition and yet he requires you to admit your condition by confessing it yourself to him.
Confessing your sin is a form of humility that only those whom God has helped knows.
For example
When Adam sin in the garden of Eden in
Genesis 3:7-8 "Then, the eyes of both of them were opened and they knew they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
And they heard the sound of the Lord walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden."
Look at Adam and his wife hiding themselves from the presence of God! Can you see how foolish sin makes one to be
Can man hid from God's presence
No.
Clearly our sins is what will separate us from God and confessing our sin to God and acknowledging how foolish we are renews our strength and he keep us from falling.
Hiding our sin is a foolish thing to do.
When you live a pure life with God your life will be a testimony
Demons will be uncomfortable when they see you.
This is why I feel sorry for people that walk up and down looking for this man of God or the other...
The truth is that they don't know the truth and hence they become targets for this men that claim to be of God with all manner of things.
Any man that will not show me Jesus Christ is not worth it.

The bible says in 1 Cor 4:3-5

3. But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.

4 For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord.

5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one's praise will come from God.

What an ignoramus! When did these mor0ns go nuclear with their scriptures ? Who ever told you that the opposite of Love is Sin. Entire concept built on a lie. Opposite of LOVE iS HATE. Its not Sin.

Sin does not exist. Wait a minute, even if I was to say sin exist. Who is without sin ? You face the law when caught - doesnt mean everyone dont do wrong ? So why build an entire religion on a lie. A lie that professes solution to SIN, which doesnt exist. Religion is a lie based on punishment for sinners. Islam maim, behead to atone for sin. Christianity shames, chastizes and curses as a punishment for SIN. Buddhism neglects the physical body and live wretched lives on earth because of awareness of the cosmos and the temporal of sojourn on Gaia (Earth). Yet, we talk about sin ? There is no sin, everything is good that makes you feel good. That is plane and simple. God is us and we are God and there is nothing else except us, except God. That which we are. Are!

Done!

I seem not to understand your views, taking into consideration your profile picture

tokisophie:



I am encourage by your words; the reason is that

2 Tim 3:12-17
12 Yes, and those who decide to please Christ Jesus by living godly lives will suffer at the hands of those who hate him.

13 In fact, evil men and false teachers will become worse and worse, deceiving many, they themselves having been deceived by Satan.

14 But you must keep on believing the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know that you can trust those of us who have taught you.

15 You know how, when you were a small child, you were taught the holy Scriptures; and it is these that make you wise to accept God's salvation by trusting in Christ Jesus.

16 The whole Bible was given to us by inspiration from God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives; it straightens us out and helps us do what is right.

17 It is God's way of making us well prepared at every point, fully equipped to do good to everyone.

Jesus says in Luke 6:40
A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher. (NIV)

It is very clear whose students you belong to; the scripture will tell us

Gen 3:1-7

3 The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day he asked the woman, "Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?"

2 "Of course we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden," the woman replied. 3 "It's only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, 'You must not eat it or even touch it; if you do, you will die.'"

4 "You won't die!" the serpent replied to the woman. 5 "God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil."

6 The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too.(NLT)

You master the devil who deceive Eve from the beginning...

There she goes! The perfected robot, the paradigmn of dogmatic robots. Follow the book, do not think, you are a religious zombie. OPEN YOUR EYES. DAY DON BREAK. Look! Every Religion has a piece of the truth and no religion has all of the truth. Add bits of truth from every religion and fact-check them with science cos science is the validator of all truth. Then and there will you find the puzzle. The puzzle of what Life really is. And that is what God is.
