A GOOD SOLDIER OF CHRIST

    A GOOD SOLDIER OF CHRIST
A soldier is a person who is in an army and wear its uniform. He is someone who fight when there is war, CHRIST has an army of soldier and he is the head of the army. He is the general and boss of the army. A good soldier of Christ must pass the test. An ordinary soldier undergoes activities just to be enrolled and enlisted in the army. He goes through a lot of training until he is fit for the army. He is taught a lot of things, before he could be part of the army. Apostle Paul says in 2 Timothy 2 vs 3: Take your share of suffering as a good soldier of Christ; just as I do and as Christ soldier, do not let yourself become tied up in worldly affairs. Let me talk on these, Apostle Paul is a good example of Christ’s soldier, he suffered for Christ just because he preached the gospel; he was imprisoned, yet he still was more willing to suffer if that will bring salvation and eternal glory in Christ JESUS to those GOD has chosen. That is how a good soldier of Christ does, are you one?
     Moreover, a good soldier of Christ do not let himself become tied up in worldly affairs, because he knows he is not of the world; but he is tied up with heavenly and godly affairs, because he knows when he set his affections on things above, that someday he is going to sit him GOD and reign with him. A good soldier follows the lord’s rule for doing his work. Paul made an athlete as an example, he said an athlete follows the rules or he is disqualified and wins no prize. A good soldier follows the rules of the lord and he is fit and qualified to win a prize at the end. A bad soldier is not qualified for the prize and does not follow the rules of the lord. A good soldier works hard like a farmer who get paid well if he raises a large crop. A good farmer cultivates and plant crop working so hard so he could harvest and sell at good prize, when it is time. That is how a good soldier does, he works so hard while on earth, he spreads the gospel to others, follow them up and bring them unto salvation, in turn he receives he receives a crown from the father GOD on the last day for a work well done. Are you a good soldier? Are you fit to be part of Christ’s army? If you are not a good soldier and not fit to be part of Christ’s army then you only need to repent from all your sins and accept Christ as your personal lord and savior.
        Furthermore, work hard so GOD can say to you well done. Be a good workman, one who does not need to be ashamed when GOD examines his work. Know what his word says and means. A good soldier of Christ uses the word of GOD as his weapon and not a gun,the bible said the sword of the spirit is the word of GOD, therefore he must know what the bible says and meant.
                    Finally, as a Christian we are to be a good soldier of Christ. It is compulsory for all Christians to be enrolled in the army of the lord. We are vessels in the hand of GOD and must be useful. Be part of Christ’s army and be a good soldier of CHRIST.

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES 2! An earthly father will be delighted and willing to do more for his son or daughter, when she/he shows gratitude. How will you feel when you give something tangible to a person and he didn’t show gratitude? You will feel unwilling to do more for such person. Our heavenly Father deserves to be shown gratitude for all He has done in our lives. Thank GOD for what He has done in the past, what He is doing presently and what He will do in the future. There is no little testimony; you just have to appreciate GOD for his faithfulness and marvelous deeds. Marvelous deeds like, the gift of life, which is the greatest of all blessings, good health and sound mind, sleeping and waking up. Many slept and never woke up, while many find it difficult to sleep. We have to see reasons to appreciate GOD; doing these will gladden Him to do more for us.              However, problems, trials, challenges might be in...
