STAY UP ALWAYS

Image
ANYGAP FRIDAY DRIVE   by Ide Thompson TOPIC: STAY UP ALWAYS  Text: Colossians 3 :1 -2 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. Do you know that as soon as you surrender your life to Christ, you become a new person entirely? You are reborn and have a fresh new spirit.  The nature of God is implanted in your spirit. You become one with God in Christ. This is true because that’s what the scripture says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that if any man be in Christ he is a new creature..." However, in the journey of becoming a fully grown person in Christ (i.e from a baby to a man) you are faced with one major battle.  This battle is not with anybody else but with you in particular. It is a battle of your mind.  No doubt, there would be lot of thought going on  through your mind, both consciously and subconsc...

TOP POST OF THE WEEK

*WOW!* TOP POST FOR THE WEEK!!! ........................................... 1. A miracle is just a way to get your attention. The real deal is for you to receive  the one who does the miracle. 2.

EXPERIENCE HIS LOVE FOR YOURSELF

Topic:: EXPERIENCE HIS LOVE FOR YOURSELF by Ide Thompson Ephesians 3 :19 AMPLIFIED  And [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]. Have you ever heard this before “God is love”? I know you certainly  have heard this severally and wonder how that God is love, but notice it didn’t say God has love or God gives love but that God is Love. And that’s really  remarkable and of course it make us even want to pay more attention to it just by thinking about  it. However, you may never come to understand exactly how that God is love if his very nature is not first formed in your own  heart. That was the prayer of Paul for the Church at Ephesus i...

YOU ARE GOD'S HOLY PLACE

ANYGAP WEDNESDAY DRIVE YOU ARE GOD’S HOLY PLACE EPHESIANS 2 V 22 “ In whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.” NKJV I came across this scripture in my quiet time last night, and this particular verse got me stirred, and I hope it does to you too. In this chapter, it was talking about three things; first, that Christ made us alive being dead in our trespasses, (v1 -5) second, our new position in Christ (v6) third, how God displayed His sufficient grace (v7) and lastly, it goes on to talk about the fact that we are now close to God through the blood of Christ as we are no longer strangers nor foreigners. This is remarkable looking at where we came from. And more awesome is this, you are God’s holy place. Your current status in God has surpasse that you were just being saved by grace through faith, but that now you are being built up (molded, fashioned) into a place (a holy place) where God lives through His Spirit. This is so am...

Be Wise

ANYGAP MORNING TEA☕ Don't  compare yourself with others, rather compare yourself with the  measure of faith God has given you.  Everyone has a measure of faith. Scripture says " For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise ." 2 Cor 10:12 Now Declare this: I refuse to compare myself with others because I am special to God. I am who God says I am. I have a glorious heritage in Christ Jesus and I know who I am. My standard of living is the standard of Christ living in me through faith in my heart. Praise God! You are blessed. ANYGAP

PROCLAIM TO BE ESTABLISHED

ANYGAP MONDAY DRIVE MONDAY 10th JULY 2017 by Ide Thompson Mark 5 : 20  So the man left and went all through the Ten Towns, telling what Jesus had done for him. And all who heard it were amazed. GNT Have you come across that portion of the bible before? I mean our text, what exactly was it talking about there?  If you read the previous verses of Mark chapter 5, you realize that this man encountered Jesus and was healed of the evil spirit that had oppressed him for years. So verse 20 (our text) was the effect of his encounter with Jesus, he was instructed by Jesus in verse 20 not to follow him ( for he requested to go to go with Jesus in verse 18) but to return to his family and tell how much the Lord has done for him. However, our attention is in the instruction Jesus gave this man. In the King James version verse 20 reads _“and he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all marveled._ The truth is anytime you encounter...
