GROWING IN CHRIST AS A BELIEVER





It's not enough to give your life to christ. The journey doesn't end right there, infact it just BEGUN.
There are certain principles and instructions you must heed to as a believer or new convert in the faith in other to make the most of your christian sojourn. Among many, a few as shown me by God are as follows...

▪ Mind/Tame your tongue: The tongue is a very powerful weapon at the disposal of a believing christian. The bible clearly stated "life and death are in the power of the tongue". Proverbs 18:21.
Don't say "I am having a bad day", say "I am having a character building day" 'cos your words have a way of affecting your life. So watch what you say about people, about yourself and situations that you find yourself in.

▪Be Meek and Humble: According to Paul's epistle to the galatians, some where around the fifth chapter... he clearly elucidated the fruits of the spirit among which are "meekness of heart" and "humility". Christ was meek in heart - he wasn't prideful or boastful even though he had all the power in the world. He carried a sense of God every where he went & God was with him (one of such reasons was because he was lowly in heart).

 James  4:6  But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
 

                                             》》This is Victor reminding you that.... JESUS LOVES YOU !

IN YOUR DARKEST MOMENTS

And the bible says, “…at the fourth watch” (according to the Romans, it’s the time spanning from 3am – 6am) of the night, which is the darkest time. They say “darkest before dawn”-that’s the fourth watch. In the darkest period , “…he looked down and he saw them, he saw his disciples rowing against the wind”. It actually says “a strong wind was blowing - boisterous.” Stay with me… And Jesus came walking on water... (How cool is that!) *wind blowing* *his hair flustering in the wind, his clothes as well* Try to picture this scene. And don’t forget, it was in “the darkest time” Progress is hard without Jesus , it’s like 3 steps forward and 2 steps backward, it’s SLOW. If you don’t have Jesus on your boat. And the bible says “and the disciples looked and they saw him”, whoa what’s that??! IT’S A GHOST! They said. And Jesus’ answer was, in the Greek “I AM”. THAT’S the name of God. “Don’t be afraid, I AM”. And straight away Peter (who else?) said Lord, if it’s you, “BID ME ...

A LOVE WORTH GIVING

                           These are devastating times: 1.75 billion people are desperately poor, 1 billion are hungry, millions are trafficked in slavery, and pandemic diseases are gouging entire nations. Every year nearly 2 million children are exploited in the global commercial sex trade. And in the 4-5 minutes it took you to read this post, almost ninety died of preventable diseases . More than half of all Africans do not have access to modern health facilities. As a result, 10 million of them die each year from diarrhoea, acute respiratory illness, malaria and measles. Many of those deaths could be prevented by one shot. Yet in the midst of the wreakage, here we stand, the modern day version of the Jerusalem church. You, me, and our one-of-a-kind life times and once-in-history opportunity . Ours is the wealthiest generation of the Christians ever. We are bright, educated, and experienced. We can travel th...
