FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM Freedom is a state of being able to do what you want without anything stopping you. Galatians 5 vs 1 says: so Christ has made us free, now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get all tied up again in the chains of slavery to jewish laws and ceremonies. Christ’s death on the cross made us free, we are in bondage before, but Christ made us free. We are tied up in chains slavery to sins, but his death made us free. The bible said whosoever the son sets free, is free indeed. We have been set free, and we are free. Many misuse this freedom, many use this freedom to do the wrong things. Many still dwell in sins despite, this freedom. This freedom brings grace, love, purity and faithfulness. The bible said we can’t continue in sins and say grace to abound, GOD forbid. When you are in sin, your freedom becomes captivity again. That is why, you must flee from all appearances of sins. Paul said in Galatians 5 vs 13: For dear brothers, you have been given freedom; not freedom to do wrong, but freedom to love and serve each other. With this freedom, we are to guard it diligently by loving each other’s, as we love ourselves; serve GOD with the whole of our hearts. However, freedom is to be free; imagine a little bird caged in a cage, when the cage is opened and its flies out of it, that is freedom. It has been held captive before, but now it’s free. It is able to fly to anywhere it want, unlike before only limited to the caged. That is freedom, but it must not be misused. Christ died for all; but we must all accept him as our personal lord and savior, for us to enjoy freedom fully. When you don’t believe in the son of GOD(JESUS), then you misuse the freedom; because you find yourself loving to do evil things that are opposite form the things of the spirit. As many that are led by the spirit, they are the sons of GOD. But when you accept and believe in the son of GOD, his spirit is always there for you, he tells you where to go and what to do, you won’t always be doing wrong things. You will be guided and would not misuse your freedom. Moreover, when you are not guided by Holy spirit, you lives produces the works of the flesh. The story about the bird in this write-up, it flies to where ever it want, when it is free. It might fly to where it will be shot or killed, because it’s free. Many a time, we misuse this freedom, because we are in the era of grace. His grace is sufficient for us, but the bible said a soul that sinneth shall die. For the wages of sin is death. You claiming his grace his there, one day the grace might not be there. For GOD cannot be mocked, whatever a man sows, that he shall reap. don’t misuse your freedom. It is well with your soul!!!!!!!!!

    THANK YOU! I like the example of the bird in the cage. I struggle to fly and use my freedom in Christ to the glory of Him. But there are things that pull me down: daily sorrows. So, I'm glad I read your blog post this morning. God bless you this week

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...

WORK ON THE WORD 2!

WORK ON THE WORD 2! David knew the essence of working on GOD’s word. He wrote in Psalm 33 vs. 4 (NIV): For the word of the LORD is right and true, he is faithful in all he does. He also hid GOD’s word in his heart that he might not sin against HIM. Psalm 119 vs. 11: Your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Storing GOD’s word in our heart and doing according to it is working on the word. Keeping GOD’s commandment is working on his word. Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye.               Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24:  But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he is like to a man beholding his natur...

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w...
