DEAD

For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.—Matthew 16:25, NASB
Many a times,as inherent in our human nature,we seek recognition and praise for what our effort has caused.the praise fuels our inner ego to lift us into a place of fulfilment.when you help someone,there is this inert desire to scream it and feel important in every sense of the achievement.
Behold if any man be in Christ,he is a new creation. 2 Corinthians 5:7.here's where the lump gets stuck.you are now a new creation conforming yourself to your new nature (Romans 12:1-2).and one of the basics is dying to oneself. According to Jan Johnson - To die to self is to set aside what we want in this moment and focus instead on loving God with everything we’ve got and valuing others as highly as we value ourselves (Matthew 22:37-39). Did you hear that,you now live only to please God no matter,the circumstances,situation or person.and it becomes a chain reaction,because when you please God,that act pleasing him is good and inadvertently edifying the human affected.that is to say you don't act based on whether the person deserves good or not but because of your new nature to please God.you give up your *me- ness*,self-centered-ness and your ego, for God.jesus was our perfect example Philippians 2: 1-11. It goes further even down to criticism not just praises.when you are victimised for things you didn't do,don't lash out and revenge or payback as in your old nature or as the world does nor seek vindication but rather,forgive and move ahead.forgo the things of the world that lead to covetousness',latest fashion,gadgets and news.dead to self is all encompassing and I pray that the almighty God,through the Holy spirit will strengths is to truly be dead to self and alive in Christ.Amen

No matter what is been said,we are spirit being but housed in the flesh and both are always in conflict.i remember a movie we watch about aliens who were ant like and stealing human body to live in and pass as humans to deceive more humans and in turn steal more bodies for an infiltration on earth.sounds scary right.but that's what's happening.the bad keep on sharing their bad and incorporating more people into it.but we that have seen the light seems to Hurd it to ourselves.we aren't conscious of sharing our life in Christ with all others cos we assume all are christians and sometimes we are afraid of ridicule.after all our lives aren't perfect,so we are afraid they will poke us.But the truth is that human nature feeds on blame.their is an adage that no matter what you do,people gat to talk.you remember the donkey story right.so just pass on the message.it is our work here mark 16:15.MMM was a good example of people sharing light,but the amazing thing is that the light...

are you aware of the fight

Do you know that the greatest task of the devil,the work that consumes him most is separating you from God.that's the foundation of all problems.imagine trying to push someone to the ground.think of many tactics you can use.then which works faster and even with less effort.pushing the person will result in fight and alerting the person that the fight has started.but imagine if you quietly come close to them in disguise and sweep the carpet off their feet.that will be the flawless.that's what the enemy does.he has perfectly disguised himself into our thinking that we take bad things as normal after all every body does it.but we forget that john 10:10 exposes that he alone is the source of all bad.he has entrenched himself in disguise into our mental faculty that we believe all his lies and eventually become consumed.revelation 5:9-10 reminds us that we are redeemed by Christ to become queens and kings reigning here on earth.don't let that thinking rob you of your inheritan...
