The Secret of True Perfection

-

The secret is not for you to strive for perfection but rather to give yourself completely to the PERFECTION that comes by Faith in CHRIST

 Many have put much effort to be made perfect in their own ways. Many religious people have practiced and sacrificed a lot of things all in the name of becoming righteous in the sight of their supreme being but to no avail. There are instances where some people do not even want to come out of their secret rooms thinking stepping outside will cause them to say or see something or even act in a certain way that will make them to sin and has led them into developing some various kinds of psychiatric disorders. Some Christians have also made several attempts to be righteous in their own selfish ways, not knowing self-righteousness is like filthy rags in the sight of God (Isaiah 64:6).
Matthew 5:48 says, "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly father is perfect." The question is, How can we be made perfect?
There is a Good News and that good news is JESUS CHRIST (The Perfect and Righteous One).
All we need to do is to submit our all in all completely to Him by faith and we shall receive the gift of righteousness and perfection (Rom. 3:21 - 26)... and that will spontaneously cause us to lead a righteous, perfect and victorious life in Love on earth to the Glory of God.

What Does It Mean That Love Covers Multitude Of Sins??

-
Image
First Peter 4:8 says, “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” Proverbs 10:12 says, “Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.” In what way does love cover sin? To “cover” sin is to forgive it, and forgiveness is associated with love. The best example of a love that covers sin is Jesus’ sacrificial death on our behalf. Jesus’ prayer from the cross, “Father, forgive them,” says it all (Luke 23:34). Jesus’ bearing of our iniquities was an undeniable act of love (Romans 5:8; 1 John 4:10). In fact, Jesus did more than just cover our sin; He did away with it completely (Hebrews 10:12–14). In 1 Peter 4:8 the apostle is talking about interpersonal relationships. As believers we reflect the love of God by forgiving others. Jesus told His disciples, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13

Four Ways The Holy Spirit Guides Us

  4 Ways the Holy Spirit Guides Us By  Andrea Rogers Before he ascended to heaven, Jesus promised to send us an Advocate, a Helper who would always be with us. “But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.” John 16:7 Gods Spirit is with you each and every second of every day. He is only a prayer away. 1.  He guides us to the truth : The bible teaches that Jesus is Truth, and the Truth can set us free; free from sin, death, loneliness. Free from anything that is contrary to His word. We find the truth by allowing the Holy Sprit to guide us to the truth about Jesus; that is, He came to be our Saviour. The Spirit will also guide us in our lives as we seek Him through prayer. Read – John 16:13   “However, when He, the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth…” 2.  He guides us away from sin : Through prayer, our powerful communication tool that enables us to h

God's Peace Is Different From The World's peace

-
Image
  People everywhere search for peace. They sing songs about it and travel on pilgrimages to find it. They even wage war to protect it. Many wealthy, famous, and powerful people would trade everything for just one moment of peace. What they often find, however, is the world’s false peace which is different from the peace offered by Jesus: Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not  your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. (John 14:27) The peace offered by the world is an empty promise and can only bring temporary comfort. God’s peace is a permanent peace offered by the only One who can be trusted to keep his Word and heal our sin. The world’s peace is fleeting and changes with circumstances. During times of prosperity, nations experience temporary peace. But when economies struggle, countries find themselves on the brink of civil war as well as war with their neighbors. The peace of the world is a precarious thing. Confli

The Gift of Discerning of Spirits

-

  By Kara Sensenig on August 11, 2020 A Most Essential Gift: Discerning of Spirits The Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons.  (1 Timothy 4:1, NASB) Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.  (1 John 4:1, NASB) The gift of discerning of spirits is one of the most needed gifts in the Body of Christ today. Jesus's mandate that we become "wise as serpents and harmless as doves" ( Matthew 10:16 ) implies that we must develop supernatural discernment, the ability to detect motivation and the spirits that motivate. The gift of discerning of spirits will become increasingly important as we approach the end of this age because deception will be the hallmark of these perilous times.   How It Operates   The Apostle Paul wrote,  “the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the wor

A Victorious Christian Life Is Never A Sinless Life!!!

Being a Born-Again Christian makes you Righteous and Victorious over Sin. A Victorious life is never a Sinless life! Leading a Victorious life does not mean you will never sin. It also does not mean you should desire and delight in sinning with no regret. It does mean when you sin, feel sorry for it and seek Christ's forgiveness...believing you have been forgiven without being oppressed or subdued by it. Above all, forgive others just as the Lord forgives you and be WISE...!

What Does The Bible Mean To Say - Wine Is A Mocker And Beer Is A Brawler

-
Image
 The book of Proverbs says that “wine is a mocker” and that “beer is a brawler” and that “whoever is led astray by them is not wise” (Proverbs 20:1). The Bible frequently refers to wine, sometimes in positive ways when describing something satisfying (Song of Songs 7:9) or celebratory (Ecclesiastes 9:7), and sometimes metaphorically in negative ways when describing God’s judgment (Psalm 75:8) and wrath (Revelation 14:10). A mocker is somebody who is hostile to a life of righteousness and ridicules all who would oppose him. Saying that “wine is a mocker” is a way of describing someone who succumbs to its influence: a drunk person tends to mock virtue and scoff at the things of God. As a whole, the book of Proverbs provides instructions for living a wise and virtuous life—by avoiding actions that end up harming oneself and others. In Proverbs 20:1 specifically, wine and beer are personified in their victims—they are enemies of wisdom who lead others astray. It can be said, then, that win

The Natural Man, The Carnal Man or The Spiritual Man! Which Are You??

-

Three Classes of Men from  He That Is Spiritual  by Lewis S. Chafer There is an obvious difference in the character and quality of the daily life of Christians. This difference is acknowledged and defined in the New Testament. There is also a possible improvement in the character and quality of the daily life of many Christians. This improvement is experienced by all such Christians who fulfill certain conditions. These conditions, too, form an important theme in the Word of God. The Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, has divided the whole human family into three groups: (1) The "natural man," who is unregenerate, or unchanged spiritually; (2) the "carnal man," who is a "babe in Christ," and walks "as a man"; and (3) the "spiritual" man. These groups are classified by the Apostle according to their ability to understand and receive a certain body of Truth, which is of things " revealed " unto us by the Spirit. Men are vi

The 2 Ways That Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You

-

FEBRUARY 16, 2018|IN BLOG POST, 2018|BY RYAN RUFUS I’m sure you are familiar with Romans 6:14 “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace”. Recently I have been ministering to someone who grew up being taught this scripture in a very religious way which resulted in terrible depression, and more recently becoming very suicidal. He was taught that if you don’t have dominion over sin then you are not in God’s grace and are not saved. He was told if you died with sin in your life then you are going to hell. The religious angle which makes this so deceptive and destructive is that “sin won’t have dominion over you if you are in grace, therefore if sin is having dominion over you then you are not in grace.” This is absolutely not what this scripture is saying and to teach it like this is to bring bondage and death. This teaching kills believers slowly, and in the case of my new friend almost drove him to the point of taking his own life. Thank
