LIVING A VICTORIOUS CHRISTIAN LIFE

In the modern era of civilization, it has become a big challenge for Christians to live a life worthy of their calling, which is a Christ-like life. Christians are first called Christian in Antioch because they are living a Christ like life. Christianity is not a religion but a way of life we should be living daily in order to achieve the kingdom of God. We should concentrate on how to tailor our life to be like Jesus for us not to be carried away by spiritual distractions.To live a victorious Christian life,we have to learn from what the Lord Jesus passed through when he was tempted by the devil in the book of Matthew 4:1-11. We can note the following vices that Jesus was tempted with by the devil. Meanwhile, the devil is still using this vices today to tempt and attack believers. Let us look into the various strategies the devil used to tempt the Lord Jesus in the book of Matthew 4:1-11.

a.Pride and Abuse of Authority: He was trying to arouse the Ego in Jesus by telling him to use his power to change stone to bread. The Lord Jesus does not take any step if his heavenly father does not approve it. He definitely wants the Lord Jesus to go against the will of God for his life by acting unapproved with the power released to him by God the Father.
b.Love of Food:Jesus Christ has been fasting for 40 Days and Night, while the devil suddenly wants him to change Stone to Bread. He is indirectly calling Jesus to an act of indiscipline. Anyone who loves food uncontrollably can be easily attacked by the devil. This is called Gluttony.
c.The Act of Tempting of God: This simply means when someone is doing things God did not request him to do, and the person is expecting God to come to his rescue, this amount to tempting God which is a sin before him.
d.Love of Material Wealth and Idolatory: Satan also showed Jesus the kingdom of the world and he asked him to bow to him once in order to have all the kingdom of the world to himself. You can say, oh! I don’t have any idols I am worshipping, but do you know that anything you exalt above God is an idol. Makeup’s, Jewelries, Cars, husband, wife, children and other Material things you have acquired. Some can kill fellow human beign in order to acquire material things which can perish anytime.This is a dangerous act that can lead a person to everlasting suffering in hell fire.
Please, if you are experiencing this, accept Jesus Christ into your life today. Have you fallen into the hands of the devil? vhave you failed any of the test the devil has used to tempt you? You can still etrace your steps back to the almighty God. The bible says “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me”. Confess all your sins to him today, rededicate your life to him and expect a very big transformation in your spiritual life and other aspects f your life. You are next in line for testimonies in Jesus name. All problems you are facing is solved right now and you are coming out victorious in Jesus name. Amen.

If you are ready to welcome the Lord Jesus Christ into your life today, please bow down your head wherever you are now and repeat after me,” Lord Jesus, I have come to the realization of my sins, please cleanse me with your blood on the cross of Calvary, wash me and I shall be made whole. I opened the door of my heart for you today, be my master, father, king and savior. Thank you Jesus, in Jesus mighty name, I pray, Amen”.

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE TO BE SAVED

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 (KJV) The only person Jesus cannot help is the person who refuses to believe. That is the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. The blasphemy of unbelief. The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit can neither be forgiven in this world nor in the world to come because Jesus says I am your saviour and you say you don’t believe in Him. What do you want Him to do? Save you by force? You have to believe to be saved. The blank cheque has been given. The whole world is technically saved but the reality is that it is for those who have believed. “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9:23 KJV). What are the things? The things that have been threatening your life. The things that have been harassing you. The things that have been giving you sleepless nights. What are the things? The things you have been w

Recieving Urgent Response to your Prayers

Isaiah 65:24 :- “Before they call, I will answer.”  This is a testimony written  by a doctor who worked in Africa.  One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but in spite of all we could do, she died, leaving us with a tiny, premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive; as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator). We also had no special feeding facilities.Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool that the baby would be wrapped in.       Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst (rubber perishes easily in tropical climates).  “And it is our last hot water  bottle!” she exclaimed. As in the West, it is no good crying over spilled milk, so

TREADING THE DANGEROUS PATH

“ 1. My son, pay attention to my wisdom, lend your ear to my understanding 2. That you may preserve discretion, and your lips may keep knowledge 3. For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, and her mouth is smother than oil. 4. But in the end, she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two edged sword. 5. Her feet go down to death, her steps lay hold of hell. 6. Lest you ponder her path of life, her ways are unstable, you do not know them. 7. Therefore, hear me now, my children, and do not depart from the words of my mouth. 8. Remove your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house. 9. Lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel one 10. Lest aliens be filled with your wealth, and your labors go to the house of a foreigner, 11.   And you mourn at last, when your flesh and blood are consumed, 12. And say, how I have hated instruction, and my heart despised correction! 13. I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor incl
