Lord for your great love in my life I worship you and I praise you. Praise be to your name forever in all generations to come. Amen...

TRUE LOVE LEADS TO REPENTANCE

In the past God overlooked such ignorance but now He commands all people everywhere to repent as its written in the book of Acts(Acts17:30). In Acts2:14 we read peter's first sermon to a crowd of unbelievers after the death burial and resurrection of Jesus. He said "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this:God has made Jesus whom you crucified both Lorf and Christ I'll Acts2:36 The word that peter spoke moved deeply in the hearts of the crowd and they said, Brothers (peter and other apostles) what shall we do?" When they asked the questino it revealed that they Believed the message.There new belief called for action. Peter told them to repent and be baptized in the name of jesus christ so that there sins may be forgiven and they will recieve the gift of the Holy spirit. Relationally Jesus said we cant serve two masters. When we repent we are saying that it is only Jesus. In God's eyes we are either serving Him or the devil. The devil wants us to serve him and destroy our relationship with God. 11Timothy2:25-26 Those who oppose him he must gently instruct in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth and that they will Come to their senses and edcape from the trap of the devil Who has taken them captive to do his will. Romans2:4 Dont you see how wonderfully kind,tolerant and patient God is with you?Does this mean nothing to you? Cant you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? Acts3:19 Repent then and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out that times of reftrshing may come from the Lord. Romans10:9-10 If you confess with your mouth Jessus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the death you will be saved. For its with your heart that you believe and are justified and its with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Confession is speaking of my love for Jesus its my faith in action.

HOW TO RESTORE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

A new relationship with God begins with faith in Him. John3:16 For so God loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Romans4:21 Faith in God is being fully persuaded that God has power to do what He has promised. Romans3:27 Then what can we boast about doing to earn our salvation?Nothing at all.why?Because our acquittal is not based on our good deeds;it is based on whatChrist has done and our faith in Him. BIBLICAL FAITH Believing that God became man in jesus that he died for our sins was buried and was raised from the grave. 1corinthians15;3-4 For what I recieved I passed on to you as first importance;that christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures that he was buried and raised on the thrid day according to the Scriptures. b Biblical faith requires interllectuai belif and our response. james2;17 In the same way faith by itself if is not accompaned by actions is dead. HOPE LEADS TO FAITH AND LOVE Clossians1;5 The faith and love that springs from hope. FAITH LEADS TO LOVING GOD 1Corinthians13;2b If I have faith that can move mountains but i have no love iam nothing. WE NEED TO BE ROOTED IN LOVE Ephesians3;16-17 I Pray that christ may dwell in your hearts through faith and I Pray that you being rooted and established in love.

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

We all know that the world full of loght from;the sun,moon and the stars.We are not wrong because they are. Today we are looking at who and how is the light of the world. In the beginning God crrated heaven and Earth.Earth was without form and full of darkness. Genesis1:1-4 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.The earth was without form, and void;and darkness was on the face of the deep.And the spirit of God washovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light";and there was Light.And God saw the light that it was good and God divided the light from thr darkness. What is this light? The light is the word of God . Psalms119:105 Your word is the a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. If the light is the word of Gof and who is this word?christ is the word of God. John8:12 Jesus spoke to them again saying,"Iam the light of the world.He who follows me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life. We have find that christ is the light of the world yes and what is this darkness. kindly let us look at the darkness in the next traching about sin and fail of mankind.

Amazing Grace

       The good news contained in the part of the Word of God addressed to the believers after the day of Pentecost is that Jesus Christ met all the required conditions so that by confessing Him as Lord and by believing that God has raised Him from the dead you are righteous and saved. This is really good news, is not it? Ephesians tells us:

Ephesians 2:8  

"For BY GRACE you are saved through faith: and this not from yourselves: it is the GIFT of God: Not by works, so that no-one can boast"

Also Romans 10:9-10 

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

And Acts 16:30-31

  “Then he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."

Also: Romans 3:20-24, 28  

"Therefore no-one will be declared righteous in his [God's] sight by the works of the law; rather through the law we become conscious of sin. But now the righteousness of God, apart from the law has been made known, to which the law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness of God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For there is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus ......Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the works of the law"       

   The above passages state that our salvation and our right standing before God, i.e. our righteousness, are not based on how many good works we did, do or will do but on the grace of God. According to the above passages, even if you kept all the law you could not be righteous before God; for as we read: no-one can be righteous before God by the works of the law. And it also says that "all have sinned". Even if you had never sinned in your life (which I’m sure it is not true) there is still Adam's sin which passes down from generation to generation. But praise God, another way has been provided by which we can be righteous before Him. This way is called grace. Yes, someone had to work for all these gifts to be made freely available to us. However, this was neither you nor I but the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3 tells us about the accomplishments of Jesus Christ:

Romans 3:23-26 

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom God set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus."       

   The redemption is IN CHRIST JESUS, not in what you and I achieved. This is very important if we want to understand the relationship we have with God. Our relationship is based upon the grace of God and the accomplishments of Jesus Christ, NOT upon our worth, works or achievements. We are righteous before God twenty four hours a day. The reason is that this right standing was given to us by grace. It was given to us as a result of the unmerited favor and love that God has for us. It is "righteousness of God", NOT righteousness from ourselves i.e. self righteousness. This "of" denotes the source of this righteousness. This source is neither you nor I but God.

Galatians 2:16 also tells us:     

  "know that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we too have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law no-one will be justified."       

   Once more we see that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ! If it was by works, I could say: "Look I did more than you. I deserve it more than you." No-one deserved something from God. It was God who, motivated by His love for us, sacrificed His Son so that by believing in Him we can be righteous and saved. That's really grace! Amazing grace!

Loving Without Hypocrisy

Music, movies, and social media all contribute to shaping the world’s view of love. It is regularly confused with lust and usually driven by the quest to gratify our own selfish desires. As Christians we need to recognize the hypocrisy of that worldly mindset. The defining quality of God’s love is that He set aside what rightfully belongs to Him in order to benefit those who rightly deserve His judgment and have no right to ask for anything (cf. Romans 5:8; Philippians 2:1–8). New Testament Greek uses the word agapē to describe that kind of love. It is completely unselfish, with no taking involved. It seeks another’s supreme good, no matter what the cost. Agapē was exemplified perfectly by Jesus’ sacrifice on our behalf. He demonstrated His great love by suffering God’s wrath as a righteous substitute for sinners who deserved that wrath (cf. Romans 5:8)—the ultimate selfless act. His call on us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him (Matthew 16:24; Luke 9:23) reveals why agapē love is the greatest virtue of the Christian life. The authenticating mark of our Christianity, before an unbelieving world, is our love for other believers. Jesus affirmed this when He said; “By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35). But what does this kind of love look like? A brief survey of the one anothers in the New Testament gives an excellent picture. We are commanded to: Build up one another (Romans 14:19); serve one another (Galatians 5:13); bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2); be subject to one another (Ephesians 5:21); forgive one another (Colossians 3:13); teach one another (Colossians 3:16); comfort one another (1 Thessalonians 4:18); rebuke one another (Titus 1:13); encourage one another to do good (Hebrews 10:24-25); confess our sins to one another (James 5:16); pray for one another (James 5:16); and be hospitable to one another (1 Peter 4:9-10). That type of love was rare in pagan Greek literature because the traits agapē portrays—unselfishness, self-giving, willful devotion, concern for the welfare of others—were mostly disdained in ancient Greek culture as signs of weakness. However, the New Testament declares agapē to be the character trait around which all others revolve. The apostle John writes, “God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him” (1 John 4:16). Jesus Himself attaches great importance to love in His answer to the Jewish lawyer: “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And He said to him, “’You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 22:36–40). It therefore makes sense that the first “fruit of the Spirit is love” (Galatians 5:22), and that love for other believers is the primary way people will know that we are believers (John 13:35). Agapē love is so much a part of personal holiness that John asserts, “We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death” (1 John 3:14). A person who does not demonstrate real love in his life is not a believer. Without love we cannot presume to have eternal life, much less be a person of integrity. http://kingdomfinanciers.co.ke SHARE VISIT WEBSITE

The Breastplate Of Righteousness

The Breastplate Of Righteousness 1 Kingdom Financiers / by noreply@blogger.com (SamKing Abung'ana ) / 4 days ago Further understanding of the role of righteousness is given in Ephesians 6. There it speaks about the armor of God that was given to us to fight the spiritual war: Ephesians 6:13   "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes you may be able to withstand, and having done all to stand."         I would like to point out two things in this verse. First, the armor is of GOD. It is NOT an armor that you constructed. Rather, it is an armor that has been constructed by GOD. Second, it is YOU that put on that armor. God will not put it on for you. God made it available. Now you have to put it on. These two things are important for correct understanding of the next verse. There it states: Ephesians 6:14  "Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around you waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place....."            It is this second piece of the armor, the breastplate of righteousness, on which we will concentrate our attention here. The various parts of the armor, as they are described in verses 14-17, have not been given a name by chance. God has a reason for everything He says. So, we must ask ourselves what is the job that a breastplate is designed to do? I believe that most of us know the answer: in an armor the breastplate protects the breast. As you know, the heart, a vital instrument for our lives, is located in the left side of the breast. Therefore, one of the most important jobs of the breastplate is to protect the heart. Biblically, the word heart means the inner part of the mind; the inner being of a man. What is in our heart determines what we are. As Proverbs 4:23 tells us: "Above all else guard your heart; for out of it are the issues of life"            The Word of God calls us to guard our hearts more than anything else and when it says heart the actual reference is to the inner part of our minds. Indeed, what is in the inner part of our minds, what is in our heart, determines "the issues of life". No wonder therefore, that it is exactly this part at which Satan aims his darts. If his darts manage to pierce the heart i.e. the inner part of our being, then this is exactly what he wants. One of the weapons that Satan frequently uses to fire his darts into the heart of sincere and devoted Christians is none other than condemnation. Condemnation is one of his best weapons since it makes the heart, the inner part of our beings, ill. It is a powerful weapon of Satan to corrupt our fellowship with God. I John describes the effects of this disease which affects many Christians. 1 John 3:21  "Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God."          Pay careful attention to that "if". Note also that the reference is to the heart. Condemnation is a serious disease that affects the heart, the inner being of a man. When there is condemnation in our hearts then there is no confidence before God and if there is no confidence before God, then I really question of the fellowship that we are able to have with God. The will of God is to "rejoice in the Lord always" (Philippians 4:4). It is however impossible to rejoice in Him when you do not have confidence before Him. Nevertheless, Satan will not manage to bring condemnation into our lives IF (and only if) we use the armor of God for our defense. So the question is what is the piece of the armor of God that protects the heart? Ephesians 6:14 tells us: "Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around you waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place....."             This piece is the "breastplate of righteousness". But which righteousness is this? You see, we are accustomed to reading this verse using a preconceived idea of righteousness by works. Thus, we think that the righteousness referred to in that verse is our self-righteousness. We say "if I am good enough and do good works then I'll be righteous". However, we forget that the Bible says "therefore no-one will be declared righteous in his [God's] sight by the works of the law" (Romans 3:20). The righteousness here is not our self-righteousness but the righteousness of God. The full armor has been made ready for us by God. It is the "armor of God". It is not an armor that we constructed. The Word does not say "Make up the armor". It says "put on the full armor of God" (Ephesians 6:11). If the armor is of God, whose then is the breastplate of that armor? It is God's. Whose therefore is the righteousness that is the breastplate? Is it your self-righteousness gained through your good works? No! It is the righteousness of God, as indeed the whole armor is of God, and so therefore is each separate piece. You did not make up the armor. You just put it on. In the case of righteousness this means that you place deep in your mind, in your heart, that you are righteous before God BY GRACE ("righteousness of God") and thus you do not try to achieve a self-righteousness standing before Him. It means that you understand that before Him "no-one will be justified by the works of the law" (Romans 3:20) and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and are justified freely by His grace" (Romans 3:23-24). You must accept that grace is grace and works are works. You must understand that when the Bible says grace does not mean grace with some works. As the Scripture says: "And if by grace it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace" (Romans 11:6). Then, you will have "the breastplate of righteousness in place" (Ephesians 6:14). Otherwise, you will leave your heart unprotected and be vulnerable to the disease of condemnation. Satan will trap you through his cunningness because you are not wearing the full armor of God but something that you yourself made up. You are wearing the breastplate of self-righteousness instead of the breastplate of righteousness of God. However, the breastplate of self-righteousness has been declared faulty by the Word of God. No wonder therefore that if you put on that “breastplate” you will be vulnerable to the Satan-caused disease of self condemnation. On the other hand, when we protect our hearts with the true breastplate of the righteousness of God then that which the Scripture says in Romans 8:1 will be fulfilled in our lives: Romans 8:1  "THEREFORE THERE IS NOW NO CONDEMNATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS"   http://kingdomfinanciers.co.ke SHARE VISIT WEBSITE
