Spiritual Amnesia

Do you suffer from spiritual amnesia?
Ok you might say, No! Well let’s take a test:

1. What did your Pastor preach about Sunday?
2. What book, chapter and verse did your pastor read from?
3. What was the topic?
4. What did you get out of the message?
5. Most of all did you share it?

If you answered “what message” you have full blown SPIRITUAL AMNESIA and you need help right NOW! If you answered “I can’t remember” to only half of the question, then it’s possible that you’re on your way to have Spiritual Amnesia and medication is needed. The point is this; we must retain what has been spoken into your spirit, fight to keep the word in our heart: Read it, Study it, Meditate on it…and you will be like a tree that is planted by rivers of waters that is bringing forth fruit in your season and your leaf will not wither and whatsoever you do it shall prosper.

Because what you don’t know will hurt you.

Be blessed on today…

Hold and Speak the Word of God

2Tim. 1:13 Titus. 2:1

In a time when people are speaking so many things, they are speaking out of pain, from bad experiences, and from wrong interpretations. When this is the case, it is hard for people to move from their past. We must hold fast and speak sound doctrine. The words “sound doctrine” [2Tim. 1:13], means (hugiainonton) interestingly means healthy or healthy-giving. What Paul is saying is, if you want to be healthy in Soul, Mind and Body you must hold fast to sound or “healthy” words (doctrine) that will bring health and deliverance. You may ask, “What words will make me sound and healthy? What words can change my situation?” I’m glad that you asked: in the gospel Jesus said that the “Word that I speak unto you is Life”. Jesus’s words not only give life…it is life. So read the Word, believe the Word, Speak the Word and Live the Word. Yes the devil will come to try your faith but hold fast….

Citizens of the Kingdom

Spurgeon once ask the question, “What is meant by our being citizens in heaven?” He stated:

"It means that we are under heaven's government. Christ the king of heaven reigns in our hearts; our daily prayer is, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." The proclamations issued from the throne of glory are freely received by us: the decrees of the Great King we cheerfully obey. Then as citizens of the New Jerusalem, we share heaven's honors. For we are already sons of God, already princes of the blood imperial; already we wear the spotless robe of Jesus’ righteousness; already we have saints for our companions, Christ for our Brother, God for our Father, and a crown of immortality for our reward. We share the honors of citizenship, for we have come to the general assembly and Church of the first-born whose names are written in heaven. As citizens, we have common rights to all the property of heaven. Ours are its gates of pearl and walls of chrysolite; ours the azure light of the city that needs no candle nor light of the sun; ours the river of the water of life, and the twelve manner of fruits which grow on the trees planted on the banks thereof; there is nothing in heaven that belong not to us. "Things present, or things to come," all are ours. Also as citizens of heaven we enjoy its delights. Do they there rejoice over sinners that repent--prodigals that have returned? So do we. Do they chant the glories of triumphant grace? We do the same. Do they cast their crowns at Jesus' feet? so do we. Do they look forward, waiting for His second advent? We also look and long for His appearing."

"If, then, we are thus citizens of heaven, let our walk and actions be consistent with our high dignity."
