Checking into His Presence... To have been kept alive till today shows God to have taken a very big gamble upon us. These investments have not come very lightly, they have been designed with Christ enormous desire to see if we can make and or maintain our way back to Him. Having the grace to live rests squarely on the assurance given by Christ so that we can improve our conduct before Him if indeed they had been faulty or filled with uncertainty. The only way to make this achievable is by having a perfect relationship with the commandments of God. (Psalm 19: 7-9) Not only that, such person must also keep abreast Satan's overpowering intention; and that is to prevent any perfect relationship with God the Father by standing in the way of erring and dithering Christians. John 10:10 describes Satan as the thief that "comes only to steal, kill and destroy;" and that Christ have come that we may have life and have it to the full." Every Child of God must always act and press towards the eternal race armed with this notion. In other words, they must refuse to slip into things that will snatch the victory of the Kingdom of God away from their hands. You must also know that if Satan sees any child of God dejected; he will be quite happy. Whereas, God is the last person that can let anyone down and will not rejoice in their downfall. Let us therefore participate passionately in the fellowship of Jesus Christ; we must refuse to be absent from His presence and be steadfast to His work in beliefs, truthfulness and honour to His name. These are the basic needs required to excel in His Kingdom and live to enjoy a worthy life in this world. In Acts 2:42-47, Apostle Paul was clear about how to maintain a perfect relationship with God so as to maintain and retain a peaceful life. In that "they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.” "So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved." Today, don't allow God to repeat the same sermon over and over again. Begin to master His Creed and preach the good news of the finished work of Christ. Stop, think and consider the effects of sin! Don't remain a sinner so that God won't be disappointed in you and finally; publicly declare His glory today and then pray without ceasing. May the riches of His Kingdom give us the power to sacrifice our inordinate desires in return for a perfect relationship with God in Jesus name. Amen Just Checking into His Presence...
