Now In Christ

  Introduction As believers, we often find ourselves in situations where we feel powerless, helpless, and uncertain about the future. We may face challenges that seem insurmountable, and obstacles that appear too great to overcome. But in these moments, we must remember that we are not just passive observers in the kingdom of God. We are called to be active participants, taking bold action to claim what is rightfully ours. In Matthew 11:12, Jesus teaches us that the kingdom of heaven is not for the faint of heart. It is not for those who are content to simply sit back and wait for things to happen. No, the kingdom of heaven is for those who are willing to take it by force. But what does it mean to "take it by force"? And how can we apply this principle to our lives? The Kingdom of Heaven: A Place of Spiritual Warfare The kingdom of heaven is not just a physical place, but a spiritual realm where God's will is done. It is a place of spiritual warfare, where the forces of l...

As Christians, we often face challenges and obstacles that seem insurmountable. We may feel like we are fighting a losing battle against forces that are beyond our control. However, the Bible teaches us that we are not alone in this struggle. We have a powerful ally in Jesus Christ, who has given us the authority to deal with the principalities and powers that seek to oppose us. Understanding Principalities and Powers In Ephesians 6:12, the Apostle Paul writes, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Here, Paul is referring to the principalities and powers that operate in the spiritual realm. Principalities and powers are spiritual entities that have been given authority and power by God to operate in the world. However, through the fall of humanity, these entities have been corrupted and now seek to oppose God'...

Introduction Dreams have long fascinated humanity, and the Bible is no stranger to this phenomenon. From Jacob's ladder to Joseph's coat, dreams play a significant role in Scripture, revealing God's plans, warning of impending danger, and providing guidance. As Christians, understanding the sources and significance of dreams can deepen our relationship with God and provide valuable insights into our spiritual lives. In this article, we'll delve into the sources and significance of dreams from a Christian perspective, exploring their role in our spiritual growth and relationship with God. Sources of Dreams The Bible identifies two primary sources of dreams: God and self. In Matthew 1:20, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, instructing him to take Mary as his wife. This divine dream was a message from God, guiding Joseph in his decision-making. On the other hand, our own thoughts and desires can also inspire dreams, Though there is no much Biblical support...

  Introduction Faith is the foundation of the Christian life. It's the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). Faith is what enables us to trust God in every circumstance, to believe in His goodness and love, and to have confidence in His promises. In this article, we'll explore the power of faith and how it can transform our lives. The Definition of Faith Faith is not just a feeling or an emotion; it's a choice. It's a decision to trust God, to believe in His Word, and to follow Him no matter what. As the Bible says, "Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ" (Romans 10:17). Faith is not something we conjure up on our own; it's a gift from God, and it grows as we listen to His Word and obey His commands. The Power of Faith in Action One of the most powerful examples of faith in the Bible is the story of Abraham. God called Abraham to leave his home and family and go to a land He would show h...

The Bible is a treasure trove of prayers, and throughout its pages, we see examples of people calling out to God for help, guidance, and strength. These prayers are powerful not only because they were inspired by the Holy Spirit, but because they come from the hearts of people who knew the power of God and trusted Him completely. In this article, we'll explore 20 of the most powerful prayers in the Bible. The Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) - This prayer, also known as the Our Father, is perhaps the most famous prayer in the Bible. It was given by Jesus as a model for how His disciples should pray, and it covers everything from acknowledging God's holiness to asking for daily provision and forgiveness. Moses' Prayer for Forgiveness (Exodus 32:30-32) - After the Israelites had made a golden calf and worshipped it, Moses interceded on their behalf and asked God to forgive them. His prayer demonstrates the power of intercession and the importance of standing in the gap fo...

Prayer is one essential part of the Christian faith that believers should take seriously. It is the means by which we communicate with God, and it allows us to deepen our relationship with Him. While prayer is a simple act, it can be challenging to know how to pray effectively. Here are some tips for praying effectively as a Christian: #1. Set aside a specific time and place for prayer: Prayer is a discipline that requires commitment and consistency. To make prayer a regular part of your life, it is important to set aside a specific time and place for prayer. This will help you to make prayer a habit and ensure that you have uninterrupted time to focus on communicating with God. #2. Begin with praise and thanksgiving: Before making any requests of God, it is important to begin with praise and thanksgiving. This is because God is worthy of our worship, and it is important to acknowledge His goodness and faithfulness in our lives. This will also help to align our hearts with God's ...

The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor E. A. Adeboye has given his prophecy for 2023 during the Crossover Service of the church which held at the Redemption Camp. His prophecy: World Weather will be more erratic. The world will be relatively more peaceful. Individual For some people your biggest challenge in 2022 will lead to your biggest testimony in 2023. God will speak peace to some troubled homes. For quite a few people there will be restoration of lost glory. Many trouble makers will lose the ability to make trouble. Quite a few balloons will be deflated this year. There will be a bit of wealth transfer.

  Stagnated Lives In 2023, they are men who will neither record much depreciation nor reasonable progress. They come under the category of those whose progress will be stagnated throughout the year. It does not matter the efforts they put in, thing will not change. They work so hard but the story remains the same. At some point, they will come quite close to what would have been a life-transforming breakthrough but something goes wrong somewhere, and they are come back to level zero.  Nobody likes a stagnated life. Micah 7:8 says, “rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me”. God will not allow men laugh at you because of a stagnated life in 2023. He will change your story for good to the shame of your mockers. Every proposed “near-success syndrome” for your life in 2023 is cancelled now in Jesus’ name. Men who are waiting to laugh at you because of a stagnated life will wait forever in Jesus’ nam...

Any believer who wants to enjoy a good relationship with God should be very interested in discovering what David did that endeared him to God’s heart. If David, a shepherd boy who spent most of his time in the wilderness taking care of his father’s flock successfully won God’s heart, then you too can win God’s heart. There are conditions set by God which must be met by anyone who wants to win His heart. Truth remains that God is not ready to change these conditions for any reason. The Bible reveals in 2 Timothy 2:19 that; …the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. You either meet the conditions or forget about winning His heart. The choice is yours. In our world today where there are too many blends and diverse teachings in the Christian faith, it is very important for every believer to know and understand this: God will never change the conditions for winning His he...

    And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee – 1 Samuel 13:13-14  If you have meditatively read the above Bible passage before now, one question you must have possibly asked yourself is, “what qualified David to become a man after God’s heart?” Our God could not be lying. If He called David a man after His heart, then that is who David was. What should be of interest to us is to know how David qualified to become a man after God’s heart. Our anchor scripture in this chapter, 1 Samuel 13:13-14 reveals that those who are after God’s heart occupy a special place in His divine scheme. God knows them...
