Overcome All


Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

- Psalm 34:19. 

Living a godly life style will always attract afflictions and persecutions in this world, because Satan is the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4), the redeemed are not of this world (1John 4:4), but of God and are ambassadors of Christ, here in this world.

2 Timothy 3:12 says,
"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."
Where? Here in this world. The godly will suffer rejection.
But Jesus speaking in John 16:33 says,
"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

The main text says, "... the Lord delivereth him out of all afflictions" when we remove "all" out of anything, what we have left is nothing. So when afflictions, persecution, tribulation etc., is taken out, it means we only have good things left, since the negative ones are out of the way, right?
Many people are afraid of the afflictions, persecution or the tribulation. Due to fear, they have form league with the devil (the god of this world), some intentionally, others ignorantly, to enable them live a life of pleasure (deceitfulness of riches) for a season, then die miserably, afterward face condemnation.

But, Matthew 10:28 says,
"... fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

Man is a free moral agent; the choice is absolutely yours to make; light afflictions which is but for a moment, and is overcome-able here and now (true riches is only found in Christ), and in the world to come you have life everlasting (Mark 10:30)., or the pleasure of sin for a season, and afterwards condemnation to hell.

To the redeemed; Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strength, Honour, Glory and Blessing are available here and now (Revelation 5:12).

Jesus is Lord!

Press In

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.... – Colossians 3:16 Things in this old world aren't getting any better, and in recent times, the Holy Spirit has been speaking an urgent message to my heart. He's been saying, Press in. Draw in to a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If you don't, you won't make it. If you do, you will see more glorious outpourings of God than you can imagine. That message isn't just for me. It's also for you—and for every other believer on the earth today. We are in the last of the last days of this age. Jesus is coming soon. It's an exciting time, but it's also a dangerous time. Those who don't do what the Spirit says, who don't press in to the Lord, are going to go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name! Your first step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in His Word. Time spent meditating i...

Choose To Forgive

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors... For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:" Matt. 6:12;14. The Scripture admonish us to forgive not just debts, offenses, etc. In Isa. 43:25 God had to forgave us for His own sake, meaning each time we have unforgiveness in our heart, it limit the flow of the anointing which is the power of God at work in us. Many think they are perfect, but non is perfect and sinless before God, except by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, which is by grace. 1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." it does not matter the personality, not even Peter, James and John could claim righteousness without Jesus Christ and the blood. So we don't have examples to pattern after except Jesus Christ, He is the RIGHTEOUS (1John 2:1). We must be mindful, man will always want to make himself the pattern for others to follow after, like ...
