The Total Christian

DATE: September 6th, 2021

TOPIC: The Total Christian 

BIBLE TEXT: II Chronicles 24
vs15 – But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died an hundred and thirty years old.
vs16 – and they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house. (Study II Chron. 22-24)

Jehoiada was a man of God, a priest in the house of the LORD during the days of the kings of Judah and Israel. He was a lover of God and one who walked in righteousness. He helped Joash who was a little boy, saved him from death, trained him to know and walk with God, in fact his parenting and priesthood was excellent in the sight of God. He helped Joash a six year old prince to regain his throne from the wicked and jealous Athaliah that killed his fellow brethren and princes.

The bible noted this clear fact of Jehoiada as a testimony of grace when he died, that this record played to resound in heaven concerning a total/complete Christian. It reads;……… “He had done good in Israel, both toward God, and towards his house”. Are you a complete Christian? One with the fear of God and a family person? This man balanced serving God and house duties both to his wife, his children, his country and his God. There is still hope for us to walk uprightly in our service to God and humanity as a total Christian.


Prayer: Heavenly Father, I desire the grace to serve as a complete Christian, to have a testimony of having pleased you and my home.

Insight: A complete christian must live in righteousness and learn to walk in love and total obedience.

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9  TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY  BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to  (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice.  (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you.  (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.  (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.  (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

The Narrow Path

DATE : September 12, 2021 TOPIC : The Narrow Path BIBLE TEXT: Matthew 7v13&14 – Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. The road to eternity is a narrow path, with a single choice. There are no alternatives into eternity. It is either you walk through the narrow way into heaven or you follow the broad path that leads men (souls) to hell fire. God sent His only Son to die for mankind, creating the way, the truth and the life, to all who believe in Christ Jesus. It is either you make a choice to follow Jesus or you walk straight into hell. Many are searching for this path in the wrong direction, places, traditions, customs, beliefs and religions but cannot find it there. Only those that hear about the Kingdom of Heaven coming soon and believe in Jesus Christ shal...
