Devotional Sermon #95: LED BY THE SPIRIT - Christian articles for today

“ … those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God” (Romans 8  Verse   14, NIV). Who are the sons and daughters of God? Who are the sons and daughters of Abraham? It is  “those who are led by the Spirit of God”. The unsaved cannot be led by the Spirit of God because they are not of the Spirit. They, however, might eventually become of the Spirit, if they so choose. On the other hand, the saved need to seriously think about Paul’s statement in Romans 8:14 . A Christian should always be attentive to the Holy Spirit’s direction.  We need, as Christians, to keep our antennas high and searching, so that we remain in touch with the thinking of the Spirit at every point of our lives. Consider the radar; it’s always on the alert. Once an airplane gets into the radar’s area of coverage the radar immediately shouts, “An airplane has just entered my airspace!”   That’s how alert every Christian should always be! And when the radar is active, safety and protection is assu

Devotional Sermon #94: THE CHRISTIAN PROSPERITY GOSPEL & SECRETS - Christian blogs for today

I could do with more wealth, more money. I would be better off with lots of it. I am not the only one in this condition; you too could do with more of it. I know a number of people who are seeking an improvement with regards to the status of their wealth. They are frantically looking in various places for this. Yet when I look at it, I sometimes feel as though people generally take the lead when it comes to wealth creation, leaving God behind, leading to a lot of debris all over the place, as people blunder their way. “ And Moses said unto the people, ‘Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD’” (Ex 14:13, KJV).   God is wonderful. He says, “As far as your life and wealth creation are concerned, panic ye not.” What comfort! Stand still. Be at peace. Praise God! Consider this as well:  “So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly

Devotional Sermon #92: SETTING A GOOD CHRISTIAN EXAMPLE - Christian articles online free

People should learn to pursue comprehensive success. This is the kind of success that I have always exhorted people, through the medium of my books and blogs, to pursue. I do not think that it is helpful for anybody to have dark patches. Instead, people should learn to live complete lives, always guided by the Word of Light. Each of your actions or omissions gives you an identity or label before God and mankind. People look at you and make specific deductions about you. Your actions or omissions either build your identity or destroy it. So doing nothing is not actually doing nothing, as some people think. By doing nothing you would, in fact, be doing something! What example are you setting in life?  Are you a role model? Would people with good intentions want to emulate you? These are questions that you ought to be asking yourself always. What perceptions do fellow church members, co-workers, friends, relatives, etc, have about you? Are they comfortable in your presence? Do they bef

Devotional Sermon #91: HOW TO DEFEAT/OVERCOME THE DEVIL - Christian articles for youth

[Based on the NIV, except where specified] “The seventy-two returned with joy and said, ‘Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.’ He replied, ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you’” (Luke 10  Verses  17-19). So,  we declare that the devil is a defeated foe. The question that begs an answer is:  do we see the devil defeated in the life of every Christian? Don’t we see defeated Christians all around us? Indeed, we see victory, sometimes total victory, in the lives of some Christians. On the other hand, we see Christians who are so defeated that they wish they were dead. Before I got saved, I used to hang out with one young man who looked like he was on fire for God. Then he abandoned the way of the Lord. “Why did you quit?”  I asked him. “I had realized that there was no God,” came the reply. The reply satisfied me at the tim
