Day 1 - Walking with Jesus

1 John 2:6 “He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk as, even as He walked” Walking daily for Christ involves several things. Today I would like you to focus on Salvation. Salvation is the beginning of our walk with and for Christ. With every walk there is a beginning and the same is true about our relationship with Christ. Salvation is the beginning. Please consider the following:

The Way to Heaven - Are You Going?
Are you 100% sure that you will spend eternity in Heaven? You can Know for sure and here is how:

1. 
   
   Acknowledge that you are a sinner."For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23


2. 
   
   Realize the judgement for your sin is death, eternal separation from God."For the wages of sin is death..." Romans 6:23a"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire ..." Revelation 20:15


3. 
   
   Accept God's payment for your sin."But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8


4. 
   
   Ask Jesus to come into your heart and save you."That if thou shalt confess thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9 -10 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13


5. 
   
   Friend, if you would like to be saved you can simply pray:" Lord Jesus, I realize that I am a sinner and without you there is no other way to heaven. I therefore ask you to come into my heart and save me. Amen"

Friend, why not start walking with Jesus today?

Will you Walk Today?

1 John 2:6 "He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk as, even as He walked" As Christians it is important today in today's world that we walk as Christ walked. In other words "Are we walking that those that are lost can see Christ in us the Hope of Glory"? Even in my own life I sit an ponder my life and wonder if I am doing enough for other to see Christ in me. My steps according to this verse ought to be the same as Jesus, offering hope to the hopeless, peace to the disturbed, help to the needy, love to the unlovable, and most important Salvation to those who are dying without Christ. Friend are you doing your part today? Or, could you honestly stand up with me and ask the Lord for forgiveness for not carrying your load? Will you join me in making a commitment to do more in these days of darkness to let your light (life) shine for Jesus (Matthew 5:16)? I would like to hear from you and be encouraged through your commitment.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all those fathers that viewing this blog. Let me encourage you with the following verse:

** Ephesians 6:4 "And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. "

> Provoke - to incite to anger

The Lord encourages fathers to "provoke not" their children to wrath.

--- There are many ways that you can do this as a Father: (I will give you 3 ways)

1.) Expect your child to do something that you are not doing.

2.) Nag at them all the time instead of encouraging them.

3.) Lord over them like you are a "god" and they must bow down to you.

<< Bring them Up - HOW?

>> In Nurture - The act of nourishing or nursing; tender care; education; training.

>> In Admonition - counsel, advice, or caution. a gentle reproof.

+++ There are many ways that you can do this as a Father: (I will give you 3 ways)

1.) Set the proper example before them in actions and words.

Philippians 3:17

"Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample."

2.) Encourage them verbally and from the Word of God.

Deuteronomy 6:6- 9

"And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. "

3.) Love them with all humility realizing you are their authority not their "god" .

1 John 4:16 - 18

" And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. "

May The Lord bless each of you fathers. Keep up thee good work.
