We were saved by grace through faith. This is not of works but a gift from God. We need to have a working knowledge of our salvation. If we don’t have knowledge of our salvation, we won’t know the benefits of it. It is important to know what we’ve been saved from by receiving salvation.

Read MoreAre you an eternally conscious believer or a mere Christian? No one can answer this question for you; whether you are taking advantage of your eternal benefits in Christ or not. Unfortunately, many Christians focus only on the material things they can get from their relationship with God and fail to see the eternal things that matter most. Our focus as believers ought to constantly be on things above; eternal! […]

As believers, we owe it to ourselves to grow spiritually. A spiritual minor may be the lord of the house and have all the gifts of God but will not be able to execute them until he matures. He is not different from a servant as long as he remains a child. When we choose to remain spiritual babies, it puts us at a disadvantage. Babies can’t fight or win battles. When you depend on people for almost everything, you will not be able to live your best. Practice makes perfect.
The sword of the Spirit is the word of God. This is not carnal or human but a spiritual weapon of warfare. This means that any word that is not God’s word is not His weapon and will not be effective in spiritual warfare. As believers we must never forget that the words we speak should be the testimonies of the Holy Spirit about Jesus Christ the Savior.
Although God’s word doesn’t return to Him void, we must cooperate with Him to make it happen. Living a glorious life requires being intentional and making tough choices. We must deliberately choose what God has said about us over the noise we constantly hear around us. Everything that pertains to life and godliness has been provided for us by Christ who is in us. However, we need to make them ours by acknowledging that they are ours. If we deny them they do not manifest though they are there. By denying them we are rejecting them too.
We sit in church and listen, but we don’t understand the word because we aren’t teachable. We think we know it all, but our eyes of understanding are closed. If we open our eyes to see the word, the word will direct us to Christ Jesus. We should ask God to open our eyes of understanding and be intentional about the time we spend reading and listening to his word.
How valuable is Jesus to you? How much time do you give to Him in your thoughts, words, and actions each day? It will reveal whether you have found Him as that pearl of great price or not. What is your price tag on Jesus? We always find time for things that are important to us. If God is important to you, you will find time for Him; not just on Sundays but daily.
To live in abundance and reign in life, we need a transformed mind. This is possible because Christ lives in us. Since Christ is in you, you possess the nature and life of God. You have eternal life that is in Christ Jesus. We are told to be imitators of God as dear children in the Scriptures. Which means we are to act like God because we have the Spirit of God in us.
The other war that is neglected yet important is the war against the desires of the flesh.
Losing this war is not an option because if you do, you won’t be able to win the war against demonic spirits. The desires of the flesh are terrible and harmful. If the flesh dominates, it automatically provides a platform for the devil to disrupt your fellowship with God and eventually lead to death which means leading one away from God the source of life.
The world focuses on earthly things, but we focus on heavenly things. We aren’t of this world; we are of God so we should set our minds on the things of the kingdom. The treasures of God are in His kingdom. We should seek God’s kingdom above all else. When we focus on God and his kingdom we live in abundance of blessings and become an overflow of his blessings as we are filled with the fullness of God.
The whole blessings of the family of God was made available to us through our Lord Jesus Christ as members of God;s household,heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ Jesus.These blessings are ours right now in this life not after death.. The greatest loss to man is not the loss of money or earthly riches though that is a loss but to exit this earth without enjoying to its fullness or maximum all the blessings Jesus died to provide for him.Because these riches far surpass any other riches here on earth in all considerations.
Every believer has been instructed by Jesus to continue the work of preaching and making disciples of Christ. We need to deliberately talk to people about Jesus and follow them up to make them disciples. When you minister salvation to someone, call to discuss more, show genuine care, and be there for them until they are established in a church where they are taught the true word of God; a place where they are taught what Jesus died for them to have.
