Treat every woman with honor and respect. Help them if they are in need. Consider them as your own mother or sister. If you help or serve them with purity, someday when your own mother or sister needs help, God will provide them with the necessary support.
“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire” ( Matthew 3:11).
Lord Jesus Christ was baptized by water and by the Holy Spirit. Since we follow Him, we must be baptized by both water and His Spirit. By the baptism of the Holy Spirit, we become one with Him.
“Jesus answered, truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God” ( John 3:5).
Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him.
God tests the heart. He is always pleased with the integrity. He tests us and refines us like the silver. He knows the way that we take. When He tests us, we will have to come forth as gold.
This world cannot help us during the trials and temptations.
God will surely test us before He could bless us. If we overcome all the trials and temptations, then we will be commissioned for the mission.
The LORD JESUS CHRIST hung on the cross alone. It pleased the FATHER, for He was offered as the sin offering. He stamped death, hell, and Satan on that cruel cross.
He accomplished it in such a way that every knee bows to His Name and Hell trembles and fears.
Sin enters through the eyes and captures the mind. Sin torments. Sin brings a generational curse. Sin destroys the peace. Sin stains the soul and the spirit. Sin hurts God. Sin brings a gulf between oneself and God.
Knowingly, if we commit sin, we kindle the anger of the Lord, and He will surely punish. He neither slumbers nor sleeps. He knows our thoughts, and the deeds are open to the Heavens. From the Heaven our dwelling looks transparent as though it’s constructed out of transparent glass. We can’t hide from Him. His eyes penetrate deep down the sea.
Let’s watch and pray. Stay away from all that are ungodly.
Abhor all that are evil.
“But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life” (Jude 20,21).
“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
“It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not” (Lamentations 3:22).
“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit” (Psalms 34:17,18).
I cried unto the Lord, and He heard my cries. My tears went before His throne, and He stretched out His nail-pierced arms, wiped my tears, and comforted me.
“Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you” (Jeremiah 5:25).
Let’s open our hearts and acknowledge our sins. Sin hinders God’s blessings; it separates us from His presence and true love.
“Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love: according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is always before me” (Psalm 51:1-3).
God is much pleased with wholehearted repentance. We will be free from guilt and face God with much confidence and humility.
The Lord Jesus Christ is at the door. He is not pleased with those who are lukewarm. He wants us to be zealous in doing His will sincerely and faithfully.
He is our All in All. He is waiting to dwell with us and dine with us.
Let’s invite Him home and into our hearts. And be spiritually transformed and committed to our calling.
“Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me” (Isaiah 49:15).
“Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me” (Psalms 27:10).
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness” (Isaiah 41:10).
