Godliness is not Gain

1 Timothy 6:4-6 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Is there anything wrong with riches, the answer is no. Is there anything wrong with equating riches to favor with God, the answer is yes. There is everything wrong about having stuff and thinking that means favor with God. For some reason the church nowadays seem to take that direction. We may acquire a lot of stuff and that does not necessarily mean that God is pleased with us. True riches are the fruits of the spirit mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

Let us not be deceived. God is continually purifying His church and the line between the true and the false will become more clear. People are starting to recognize what is true and what is false. Its time for another generation.

Angry Unhappy Christians

Unfortunately its true, we do have angry and unhappy Christians. I always wonder why its like that. God promises us joy, peace and happiness and yet we still have a lot of angry unhappy Christians. I believe it’s time we re-evaluate our Christianity. Christianity is not supposed to be a bondage and a burden. It’s supposed to give us life in abundance. , We have a people who are Christians out of duty and not out of a free will and love for God. People are just afraid of going to hell and they are teaching other people fear and bondage instead of love and freedom. Bondage brings hatred, anger and unhappiness. It saddens me to see my brethren suffering and not enjoying Christianity. This week I encourage you to lighten up and stop judging everyone that comes your way. This week I encourage you to let go and let God be . Lets re-evaluate our Christianity, why are we Christians?

He Protects

Ladies and gentleman, it is true. God does protect His own. If you desire protection from any force that may come against you, God is the answer. He is the one who constantly protects us. If we move ahead of God and never allow Him to surround us, we will definitely miss out on his protection. If you are a child of God I encourage you not to look for protection anywhere else but look for protection from our Father. We are safe under the shadow of His wings. Rest and be at peace knowing that God has got your back.

Don’t be left behind

There is a new move of the Spirit world wide. Be careful not to be left behind. This generation is a generation of GRACE. The time for doing things for the Lord like “reaching the masses” is gone. It is time we reach the masses after receiving a word from the Lord. A time for proving ourselves to the Lord is past. In this generation we only do what the Lord wants us to do. It is not a generation where we force ourselves by our own strength to appear righteous before the Lord. This generation is ground breaking. A time for running after money is gone. This is a time of God’s grace. Be careful not to be left behind. A time for tying to be a legend is gone. A time to be respected and honored is gone. It is a time to receive whatever the Lord has in store for you in your path as you seek Him. The time for belonging to a certain denomination, organization or fellowship is gone. Please read this carefully because I don’t want anyone to be left behind. A time for trying to be like one of
