CONTINUE IN THE FAITH

Colossians 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; (KJV)

The above scripture implore us to continue in the faith. That means there is the possibility of not continuing in the faith. Some did not continue in the faith.

Some started out very well but along the walk they fell. The fall was not the issue because everyone fell at one point or the other but that they did not get up from their fall. They abandoned the faith for the troubles and persecutions that arose.

As a Christian you must be resolute -- 'come what may I will continue in this faith.' Continue in the faith grounded and settled and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel. Our hope of the Gospel is that Jesus will return for us, those who sleep will rise first and we that are alive will be caught up with them to meet the Lord in the air. This is our hope, this is our eager expectation, and it shall not be cut off.

Encourage yourself with these words. Learn to always encourage yourself in the Lord. It is a good safeguard for you because at times those around who should have encouraged you would need encouragement themselves.

Whatever happens don't let it be at the expense of your faith. Continue in the faith, grounded and settled, unmoved from the hope of the Gospel. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Lord I thank You for the hope held out in the Gospel for me. I am strengthened with all strength and rooted, grounded and settled in the word, holding firmly to the hope of the Gospel, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

THE DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL introduction

CONTENTS AND INTRODUCTION CONTENTS Chapter One -- CHARACTERS OF JEZEBEL Chapter Two -- THE DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL Chapter Three -- HER MISSION Chapter Four -- IF SHE BECOMES YOUR WIFE Chapter Five -- A FALSE PROPHET INTRODUCTION In humility I write this book to the Man of God not to be unaware of the devices of the devil. 2 Corinthians 2:11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. I write to remind the Man of God that one of the schemes of Satan against the servant of God is "The Daughter of Jezebel." Before talking about the Daughter of Jezebel, who is Jezebel?  THE JEZEBEL IN THE BIBLE Jezebel was the daughter of Ethbaal King of Sidon. Ahab the King of Israel married her which of course was against the Lord's instruction to Israel not to marry among the nations around them. She was mainly responsible for all the evil Ahab King of Israel committed in the sight of God. She killed many of the Lord's Prophets in Israel. She was a swor

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 23rd DECEMBER 2023 REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! (NIV) The Apostle Paul writing to the Church in Philippi, said they should rejoice in the Lord always. He didn't say they should rejoice in themselves but in the Lord. That calls for spiritual insight.  It takes spiritual insight to see what we got in the Lord and rejoice. When you are ask to rejoice over something it means that it holds significance and value. No nobody would ask you to rejoice over something that's not to your advantage. We have everything to our advantage in Christ, and it is our responsibility to recognize them and rejoice.  Looking at your physical environment and, maybe the circumstances of your life you might have reasons to feel bad and dejected. But looking in the Lord and who you are in Him, you would find not only the glorious you but also answers to all your questions.  When th

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th JANUARY 2024 FORGIVE AS THE LORD FORGAVE YOU Colossians 3:13-14 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (NIV) We should not have offense we cannot forgive. But at times we find ourselves in a situation where forgiveness seems difficult. If we apply our emotions and how hurt we are, it will be difficult to forgive. But if we consider how God forgave us then forgiving others would be easy.  There are things to note in our opening scripture; Bear with each other; forgive one another; grievance against someone; forgive as the Lord forgave you; put on love.  To bear with someone means to tolerate. If we cannot tolerate we cannot forgive. Then it says forgive one another; this means that we talk our differences over and forgive each other -- I forgive you, you fo

THE POWER OF LOVE chapter 2 episode 2

Chapter 2 Episode 2 LOVE FULFILS THE LAW Romans 13:8-10 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet," and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. First the word states that 'you owe everyone love' this means you should not find anyone you cannot or should not love. That's because it is your nature, it got nothing to do with the one you are loving. It is the expression of yourself not how they look or behave towards you. You owe everyone in your world a debt of love. You cannot not love, it is your nature, just like you cannot not live. Again it says clearly that love is the fulfillme
