When you commit a grave sin—whether in secret or in public—you feel the resulting guilt, which the devil then uses to torment you.
When Judas Iscariot betrayed our Lord Jesus Christ, he succumbed to this diabolical torment. By submitting wholly to the voices he heard, he was denied repentance and led to take his own life.
When you yield to the whisper, you become possessed and indulge in that sin.
Satan, within you, can you ask anyone to follow you?
Our Lord Jesus Christ died for all our sins. He hung on that cruel cross for six hours, and He was put to shame to save us.
He is the Great Shepherd, and yet He created Hell.
The Prophet Ezekiel was a priest among the captives.
God called him, revealed Himself, and commissioned him to be a prophet; his spiritual eyes were opened.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8).
Yahweh appeared to him as fire, for the Father, the Almighty God, appears as fire.
The LORD then revealed to him the characteristics of a prophet: a prophet must be as bold and courageous as a lion; humble, obedient to the Master, hardworking, sincere, and loyal as an ox; and vigilant like an eagle.
When you humble yourself and pray, wherever you are, God will reveal Himself to you, bless you with the prophetic anointing, and ordain you as His prophet.
Do not be unequally yoked with anything ungodly. Do not be conformed to this world. What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Apostle Paul lived a holy and sanctified life, urging others to follow him as he followed God. LORD JESUS, the All-Holy and All-Perfect, wants us to follow Him, replicating His holiness and His way of life.
We must set an example for others, so that those who look at us know what it means to be a true believer and a Christian. A Christian or believer must follow the Lord Jesus Christ, believe in the Trinity, be baptized by water and the Spirit, and lead a holy life while walking with God. God sees the heart of the individual, not the church to which they belong.
A thousand sermons or songs of praise cannot quench the true thirst of our souls or lead us to heaven. Yet, silent, intimate communication with God at the midnight hour enables us to hear His sweet whisper. In that moment, He truly appears, holding your raised hand or embracing you. That is what it means to be a true believer.
You are the light of the world (Matthew 5:14).
Will you lead those who are lost and in darkness to the LIGHT OF LIFE, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST?
Honour your father and mother. Take care of them when they are aged. They have sacrificed a lot in raising you. If you take care of them, your children will care for you when you are aged. It is the divine responsibility of every parent to care for their children, and for children to care for their parents when they are aged.
Remember the countless hours your dad worked hard to bring you gifts, the hands that fed and embraced you—but now he has become a stranger to you.
Your mum has done everything for you: she dressed you, cooked food for you, packed your lunch, and fasted and prayed for you. But now, she is an alien to you.
Once you began earning a little money, you felt on top of the world and started hurting and abusing your loving parents. You then left home, leaving them in tears.
If you cannot love your parents who are in front of you, how will you love the Father whom you have not seen?
God will judge you.
“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind” (Matthew 22:37).
Many people leave their parents in an old age home. Will God not judge such a cruel and unloving heart?
Love your parents, and take care of all their needs in their old age. Remember all that they have done for you. Speak to them, dine with them, care for them, and love them. If you hurt and mistreat your aged parents, tomorrow, your children will do the same to you. Do not hurt them with your words or gestures; they need your love. Express your love to them today; tomorrow, you might regret it, for life is like a vapor.
The day I was taken into the Throne Room of God Almighty and touched Him, I promised to keep my hands holy forever.
To serve the Lord, our hands must be holy.
During a deliverance ministry, I asked a terribly possessed brother to hold the Bible. Immediately, the evil spirit within him declared that his hands were unclean.
The possessed will not touch the Word of God.
Let’s be holy in the sight of the Lord. When our hands are holy, we will be more confident in doing the will of God, for evil fears holiness.
