Having intimacy with God via His word

THE LEVELS OF JUDGEMENT  There are three levels of judgement at which believers sin can be dealt with.   SELF JUDGEMENT "For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged" (ICor.11:31). When a believer does wrong, the Holy Spirit is right there to reprove and make him strongly aware that he needs to make the matter right.    JUDGEMENT BY BELIEVERS . If you fail to judge yourself, the Lord will send a believer to you, as the Lord sent the Prophet Nathan to David. David responded and repented. He was severely chastened for His sins and that ended the matter.    JUDGEMENT BY AN UNBELIEVER OR SATAN . If you fail to respond to God's dealings at the first or second level, the most severe judgement follows. That is when God allows Satan to punish you with series of afflictions.  Therefore as a believer, whenever the Holy Spirit reproves you, make restitution, and when God sends another believer to you, listen and make amendments before it w...

THE CHRISTIANS AND THE GOVERNMENT ROMANS 13 Why the Christians should submit to the government.  There are several reasons why Christians should submit to the government. Few of them would be discussed GOD IS THE ORIGIN OF POWER God is the origin of power and the Supreme governor of the universe. He delegates authority to whomsoever He wills. Though in many cases, the person in power may not be of God, yet civil authority is of God. God ordained societal units, elements for the well-being of man. No authority except from God, no civil authority or government exist apart from God having instituted it. God placed it for the well-being of man. Marriage and the Church are also authorities instituted by God, but they all must submit to the government authority as ordained by the Supreme ruler of the universe (GOD). Christians should also submit to the government in order to embrace peace. Christianity goes beyond mere religion, but a peace seeking religion, Christianit...

Bible verses on the efficacy of God's healing power . The scripture affirms that God has the sole power to heal all kinds of  diseases and infirmities. The Bible is full of God's promises on healing which can be used  in prayer for perfect healing. 10 Bible verses on the efficacy of God's healing power  " The Lord openeth  the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord love to the righteous " Psalms 146:8 NKJV " Is any sick among you?  let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.  And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him" James 5:14-15 NKJV  " And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee" Exodus 23:25 NKJV  " Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I a...

Importance of spiritual sensitivity in the life of a believer.  "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt;I will guide thee with mine eyes" (Psalms 32:8 NKJV)  "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh  about, seeking whom he may devour" (I Pet. 5:8 NKJV)  Spiritual sensitivity is the ability to perceive and respond, by the movement of the Holy Spirit to God's will, God love, our own wrongdoings and to be conscious of the devices of the adversary. To be spiritually sensitive is to know when God is speaking, recognize His voice from that of satan and be conscious of the plots or devices of the adversary. When you are spiritually sensitive ; You will not be overcharged with the concerns of the world.  You will be able to contend with the active, implacable and subtle enemy.  You will hear God speaking, recognize His voice and hearken to Him. Psalms 32:8 You will be aware of t...

The impact of the challenges of life on Christians of nowadays.    "I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world" (John 16:33.NLT) Challenges of life are what a christian cannot escape.. It is a must for a christian to face challenges in life. But these challenges differ and the level at which Christians face  challenges are different These challenges would be discussed under the two terms  " TEST OF FAITH AND TEMPTATIONS"   Test of faith comes from God to test a christian whether he would be able to manage the glorious position ahead him.  Temptation comes from Satan to make a christian fail in the course of the test of faith thereby missing the glory ahead.  Test and Temptation are the challenges that surface in different forms. "Test comes from God to make a Christian stronger in faith, while Temptation co...

It is obvious that there are lots of people outside there parading under the umbrella of Christianity. The question is "Are all Christian true Christians?"   Christianity goes beyond mere religion. It is to be Christ-like, to seek the truth, follow the truth, seek and follow peace with all men. This truth is JESUS CHRIST.  A christian is the one believes in Jesus Christ, follows Him, he who has totally surrendered his life to Jesus Christ and obeys all His teachings.  Now, going to the topic of the day, "Are the so-call Christians real Christians"?  I say NO to that. Why?  Some people join a religious group just to belong to one, so they won't be accused of not belonging to any religious group.  Some who are Christians so to say were born into a christian home, to them this makes them a christian automatically not knowing that their parent being Christians doesn't make them Christians. They don't have a personal encounter with Christ, nether do they re...
