The right attitude in trials

Gold medals are not awarded just to anyone, its the few who strive for excellence that get it. In our walk of faith we ought to set our eyes up on the prize and thats the crown of glory. Salvation is not an easy journey it is full of trials, temptations and pain at times. 
“Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.”
  — Psalms 34:19 (KJV).
Christ told the world that everyone who would take the cross and follow Him was indeed His disciple. Nevertheless there is joy in the Lord Jesus, not one we generate on our own terms but one given by the Spirit of God. 
It is in Him that we gain strength to overcome every kind of trials and temptations. 
In this walk we will be tested, tried like gold and silver, 
“Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.”
  — Isaiah 48:10 (KJV)
We are a chosen people deemed worthy to bring praise unto God

“And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.”
  — Zechariah 13:9 (KJV)


“And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.”
  — Malachi 3:3 (KJV)

So be happy and joyful whenever you go through trials, it shapes your character along the way. Its a way of God to get rid of impurities within ourselves and bring forth good fruits, patience, understanding and being faithful regardless the situation. Jesus is never far, even in the furnace of affliction He will uphold you. God has prepared more than we could ever imagine unto us the church of Christ.
Our walk might be tough but in Christ our joy is found
We will rejoice in affliction 
We shall praise when all is gloom
In that darkness our light shines
Hoping unto Christ
The author and finisher of our race
Faithful is His Name
Mercy is full of Him
Grace upon Grace have we been bestowed 
To praise the Lord almighty.

The self professing church.

It's unbelievable that though its among the last days, the so called church  and believers need more work to be done on them than the world. The world needs to hear and believe the gospel for their salvation, the self righteous Christian needs a different grace, a renewal of who he is in the kingdom. Titus 1 (KJV) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¹⁵ Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. ¹⁶ They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Scripture dictates that without faith we can't please God, yet so many people are becoming faithless, every one seeking their own righteousness, living far from scripture, far from christ, far from the Holy spirit, all have strayed from the pulpit to the least.  In Titus 1:16 it states that many profess with their mouths of knowing God yet they deny Him, now lets access what...

Blessed are the undefiled

“ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.”   — Psalms 119:1 (KJV) Blessed are the undefiled in the way who walk upon the way of the Lord, in this text we can come to understand that along the way men tend to be defiled by the many things of life, when they walk in the counsel of their mind. So we are going to see what defilement causes and what areas are affected  Defile - Means to be foul, contaminated, pollute or unclean.  Uncleanness can be subjected into three aspects  1 physical 2 Soul 3 Spiritual  Physical The body is the host that sustains both the soul and the spirit, every realm has a rule that governs it and for this realm of earth it is important that to be of relevance one need to have a body. Satan entered the body of the serpent to trick man, Jesus Christ needed a body to be relevant on this earth, if He had descended from heaven in His God nature am sure men would have run from Him. God partners wit...

Serving Faithfully

Lk 16:15 *And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.* The above scripture gives us a snap of what is happening in the World nowadays, even the believers' are under the gin without them knowing, spiritual Life style nowadays is full striking results. Where is Holiness nowadays? People are moving using their own fables and fancies, to maintain what is perfect before God is no more, peter said in *2peter 1:16  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy*, why don't we esteem what is good before our Supreme Being *(Shaper)*? The convoy of believers' today is full contempt conversation before Almighty God. We are dwelling on entities that are highly esteemed by men, yet we hamper ourselves with our fancies' claiming and boasting out that we're okay, the prophet of God Isaiah said 30:*Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD,...
