The Strong Christian


 

Most Christians have everything they need; nice clothes, good homes, big toys, the best games, flashy cars but lack one thing that's needful... The Bible! Many come to church well dressed yet have to ask to share their neighbor's Bible or borrow from a friend just for the service.

How can a student have no learning material? How can a Christian not have a Bible? Many now claim to have Bibles on their phones and downplay the need for a hard copy of the Bible. They are however distracted by notifications when reading the Bible.

A strong Christian studies God's Word diligently; a student/scholar of the Word. They overcome the devil. Weak Christians however don't study the Word (consistently). They are overcome by the devil. In fact, they have a catalog of the devil's activities in their lives for everyday. The strong Christians only testify of God's goodness.

The only way to walk confidently with/to God is on the sure foundation of His Word. When praying, we are to come to Him with His Word. And what better way to remind God of His Word than by first having it stored inside you???

Therefore, you should realize that prayer is not guess work. God's Word builds up your prayer life. The best prayer is praying God's Word; personalize it! With this, your prayer life is more organized and there's no mumbling or searching for words in prayer.

I hope that you can now see that effective Bible Study builds up your strength, your confidence in God and your prayer life as Christians.

Come prepared with God's Word in prayers. He'll never disappoint you.

Dear Fighter

"If you are going to win the fight of your life, you can't be afraid to fight"  - Eric Thomas Dear Fighter, Life has its ups and downs. There's always some good times to appreciate and hard times to grow through. So, I have chosen to be thankful for life, family/friends, love and issues (makes  life quite a story with the occasional twists), the cool job while I had it, life on a daily... Fight the good fight. Don't be a spectator in your life, fight! Fight for your joy. Fight for your progress. Fight for your dreams, goals, and aspirations. Fight to see the good in life. I realized it, and I'm fighting too. I recently wrote down some of my forgotten dreams and new goals. Now, I think about them often and try to work towards them. It's not easy, but I  have to push for it. In those dark moments, I have found that Jesus is the source of peace.  If you're losing it, it may be that you've distanced yourself from Him. The Bible says that God is leading

Dealing with Failure

Image
“No human ever became interesting by not failing. The more you fail and recover and improve, the better you are as a person. Ever met someone who’s always had everything work out for them with zero struggle? They usually have the depth of a puddle. Or they don’t exist.” - Chris Hardwick I’m enthusiastic. I love to be associated with success. I like to meet expectations. I just didn’t know if I could stand failing. I was afraid. I prayed and studied and kept hoping every day. I told myself that I had to pass all five of my exams. I felt that was it. Probably if I cleared them all in one sitting, I’d be more satisfied and approved of. Well, I failed one and it hit me. It hurt a lot and I felt like giving up. When I got home, I cried about it but my parents tried to cheer me up. My brother wanted us to celebrate. My friends were congratulating me. Honestly, at that point, I felt they were all crazy or something… In the healing process, I became grateful. I actua

When God Seems Distant

Image
           Some days, you feel like you're the one doing all the talking. It's like you woke up and the lights just went off. Its like God's gone on vacation!      I've felt like that too and it can really be frustrating. But while reading The Purpose Driven Life, a powerful book by Rick Warren, I got to see that this is actually a very important phase in our lives.      Just like Job's experience in the Bible, God seemed distant and didn't speak until 38 chapters later. But God never abandoned him nor left him to die of his sufferings. And despite all that Job went through, he never gave up on God.      This time is usually a period of testing to see just how much you can hold on to God when He keeps silent in your life. He really wants to show the accuser just how faithful a child He has that won't give up no matter what.
