THE BANNER OF CHRIST
If you dwell in the banner of Christ, you are guarantee of God’s divine protection and His blessings upon your life and your generations to come.
So far, the things that God request from his divine children is by living in His ways and obeying His principles, by doing these, He would then make all these blessings to be our portion from generation to generation to come.
Do not allow the nature of this world and the wisdom of this world to prevent you to miss God’s plan for your life.
For His plans are of good thought, prosperous future, good health and many more. He talks about these in the book of Jeremiah 29:11.
So brethren, let God be our guarding angel, so that He may lead us into this prosperous life.
LIGHT OF GOD
Light brings one into his divine purpose where God has destined for him. When one work in the patterns of the darkness of these world, the light in the life of the person quench; the light of God in him disappear. For the light is our eyes that orders our steps to those that God has ordained in our life to fulfill our divine purpose on these earth. That is the reason the bible encourages us not to forsake the assembly of brethren and the gathering of Christ people where God’s light is present.
For the light of God to continue to remain upon our life, we need to be actively involved in the activities of God and by study and meditate on the word of God daily, by attending true Christian fellowship where the true word of God is been preached; the word of God that pierced and tears the wall of darkness that surround us.
Those are the places the children that had been destined and called by God should be.
LISTENING AND DOING
According to the book of James 1:19-20, the word of God thought us to acquire wisdom and knowledge of God for ourselves as a believer and followers of Jesus Christ.
And also it is important for us to learn how to listen very well, and not only to listen without obeying the instruction, but we should also practice what the word says. Bible says if we want to see many good days on this earth, we should avoid evil talk and evil conversation; we should be slow in opening our lips.
When we are good in listening to the word of God very well, we gain the ability and confidence on how to pray, how to confront the devil with the right words at the right time and at the right moments. When we listen well, our spirit store up God’s divine words that pierce and tears down the enemies plans concerning our life.
Listening gives us the opportunity to stand against the challenges that confront our thought, the challenges that bring fear into our heart. For the word of God we listen to, brings hope, it brings liberty, it destroy the spirit of oppression and suppression out of our life.
Listening well to the word of God, brings confidence in our Christian faith, confidence to stand firm against tribulation and afflictions, confidence to break lose Satan activities through prayer by the authority of Christ that is in us.
So beloved children of God, followers of Christ Jesus our Lord, let us do everything in our best and in our ability through the help of Holy Spirit, to open up our mind to the true word of God that bring love,peace,joy and patience. For the word of God is our life. That is why it is important to listen and listen well to his word and his messages, By doing so, we will be able to carry out what the bible teaches us, on how to live right with ourselves and with our fellow brothers and sisters.
May the Spirit of the Lord grant you a willing heart to open your mind and ears to listen to Christ today. (Amen)
HOW WE OUGHT TO LIVE AS A CHILD OF GOD
Reset our thinking by the blood of the lamb and by the sacrifice that he made on the cross, he gave himself up so that we may have a new life in Christ. He died for us that we may inherit eternal life; his crucifixion took away our old life, our sins. We are being reborn into this world for the sake of the blood of Jesus.
As a believer in Christ Jesus, this is how we ought to think, to reason and to imagine, that Christ does not hold our past life against us, but given us a new opportunity to come to him and reconciled with him. He has open the door of a new beginning, a door of peace, a door of everlasting joy that cannot be stolen by any man or by any government or by the system of this world, a door of righteousness, a door of holiness, to leave a new that would bear fruit for his kingdom.
We out to exercise the power that Christ has placed on us, that we are saved by his blood and not been afraid of what comes on our ways, we should think like Christ, stand on the true word of God, confess it out and stand on it. “For God did not give us the spirit of fear but of confidence and boldness in Christ Jesus”. For the word of God said, “Stronger are they that are with us than those that are outside there”. Somewhere else he said “His word will not return back to him void until it accomplishes the purpose he sent it for”. Whatever God has spoken will surely come to pass.
This is how God want us to think and reason and to act and not be afraid or intimidated by any man. Remember he is our shield and refuge in times of troubles.
When you stand in Christ like these, devil cannot change or twist your mind toward your God, because you have the word of God in you. It is in your mouth, and in your heart. When you use it, you act it and practice it and live it, you will surely overcome the devil schemes.
May the grace of God be with you.
