When I became a Christian, I became a new person. Each day I am so worried about evil wanting to live in my heart. Each day I kept asking Jesus my Saviour in the power of the Holy Spirit to guard my heart and not allow evil to prosper in my heart.
I want to be holy just as my Saviour Almighty God is holy.
Whenever I am tempted to commit evil, I asked Jesus to help me run to seek refuge in Him. Jesus is my hiding place. Only in Him I am safe!
So you must live as God's obedient children. Don't slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn't know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. 1 Peter 1:14-15

Stand, Sit, Lie, Or Kneel?
How do you worship the Lord, our Saviour?
I kneel.
What about you?
Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker, for he is our God. We are the people he watches over, the flock under his care. Psalm 95:6-7
Every time I pray, I kneel before the Lord my Saviour Almighty God in Christ Jesus. When I kneel to pray, even though no words were spoken out of my mouth, my Saviour God heard my prayer. When I kneel, I revered Him as Lord, my Saviour God in Christ Jesus. Each time I kneel before my Almighty Maker, I remembered I am dust!
Therefore, God elevated Jesus to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11
Every time I kneel, I acknowledged that my Saviour Jesus is the son of the living God, who was sent to die for my sins and was resurrected by the Holy Spirit to bring me a hope because I have placed my trust in him to return someday very soon to bring me safely home to the Father.

The Great Sermon
A great sermon is one that you heard the Merciful and Gracious Shepherd speaking His teachings into a heart that was unlock by the Holy Spirit, the listener went home convicted and sought the Lord Jesus' help through the Holy Spirit to repent, resulting thereafter in a rich life that bore the fruits of the Holy Spirit, thus bringing honor and glory to the heavenly Father.
But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don't obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don't forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it. James 1:22-25
For the word of God is full of living power. It is sharper than the sharpest knife, cutting deep into our innermost thoughts and desires. It exposes us for what we really are. Hebrews 4:12
It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. Isaiah 55:11
A great sermon is one that changes hearts and steer your hope towards Jesus, the Almighty Saviour.

How Christian Are You?
Are you a Christian only in the presence of men or do you still maintain being a Christian in the absence of men? Most Christians live dual lives. Are you?
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Philippians 2:5

The Teacher
If plans to eliminate poverty from our midst is successful, then I wonder who will teach us to perceive what is kindness, meekness and generosity?
God, the Almighty Creator of heaven and earth and everythings in it, did not placed the poor in our midst so that we can be charitable, but that we can learn to prosper by His strength to be praiseworthy by living our earthly lives for His honor and glory. Because when we chose to live apart from Him, we can never accomplished anything by our own strength.
Each day is a day of learning obedience with the help of our Saviour's Spirit to please God, the Father. Deeds is our accountability that we belong to God, the Father in His son, our Saviour Jesus.
Christ taught us that by obedience to his teachings, we demonstrate our faith in him through our deeds that Jesus is a living God! Our deeds is a result of our learning from him and not by our own conception through our human wisdom to comprehend what is righteosness and benevolence.
We must not forget that we were once sinners made worthy by the blood of his begotten son, our Saviour Jesus. We are dust! We can never please God by ourselves!
In the absence of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we can never produce deeds to please God, the Father of our Saviour Jesus. Without the Holy Spirit gifted to help us, we can never love our enemies.
Every triumph is a result of Jesus Himself in his Spirit working in us, bringing honor and glory to the Father, lest we boast that we are capable of doing God's will by ourselves.
Everything surrounding us is placed by God to teach us.
Remember Proverbs 6:6 that ask us to take a lesson from the ants understanding their ways? Do not allow pride to deceive us that we have enough knowledge to teach others.
Why do you keep calling me 'Lord! Lord!' when you don't do what I have taught you? (Luke 6:46) Jesus is always the Teacher!
