PASTOR AS SERVANT

A pastor is not called to be served by the people—a pastor is called to serve the people.

Jesus gave us the clearest example of spiritual leadership. He did not seek a throne, luxury, fame, or special treatment. He humbled Himself and washed His disciples’ feet. The hands of a true shepherd are willing to serve, even when no one is watching.

“For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”
— Mark 10:45 KJV

The pulpit is not a platform for personal glory.
The church is not a place to build a personal empire.
Ministry is not an opportunity to chase money, status, designer possessions, or admiration.

Ministry is about souls.

A pastor may have blessings and possessions, and material wealth by itself does not prove that someone is a false servant. But Scripture repeatedly warns spiritual leaders against greed, pride, and using godliness as a means of personal gain.

Paul instructed leaders to shepherd God’s people “not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind” (1 Peter 5:2).

The question is not simply, “How much does a pastor have?”
The deeper question is: “What is the pastor doing with the influence God has entrusted to him?”

Is he pointing people to Christ—or to himself?
Is he serving the flock—or demanding to be treated like royalty?
Is he concerned about souls—or only about financial success?
Does his life demonstrate humility, integrity, sacrifice, compassion, and faithfulness?

Jesus said, “By their fruits ye shall know them.” — Matthew 7:20 KJV

Let every minister remember: the title “Pastor” is not a crown. It is a responsibility.

One day, every shepherd will answer to the Chief Shepherd.

“And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.”
— 1 Peter 5:4 KJV

May God give us pastors who love people more than popularity, truth more than applause, holiness more than appearance, and souls more than possessions.

The greatest pastor is not the one sitting in the biggest chair.
The greatest example is the servant who is willing to kneel.

🙏 Lord, give us humble shepherds who will faithfully lead Your people, protect the flock, preach Your Word, and serve with clean hearts. Let every minister remember that the church belongs to Christ—not to man. Amen.

*TYPES OF BIBLICAL FASTING*

1. *The Complete Fast*

Esther 4:16 G NT - Go and get all the Jews in Susa together and fast for me. Do not eat or drink anything for three days, night or day.

This was an intense fast involving neither food nor water for a limited period. It was undertaken during a serious crisis and required great physical discipline.

This should not be treated casually. Prolonged fasting without water can be medically dangerous, so wisdom is necessary.

2. *The Absolute Fast*

Acts 9:9 GNT - For three days he was unable to see, and during that time he did not eat or drink anything.

Paul's experience after encountering Christ included a period without food or drink. This shows that Scripture records extraordinary forms of fasting during significant spiritual encounters.

The lesson is not to imitate the duration blindly but to recognize the seriousness with which some people sought God.

3. *The Partial Fast*

Daniel 10:2-3 GNT - For three weeks I did not eat any rich food. I did not eat any meat or drink any w**e.

Daniel continued eating, but he deliberately restricted certain foods while seeking God.

This can be useful for people who cannot undertake a complete food fast. The focus remains on seeking God, prayer, and self-denial rather than simply changing your diet.

4. *The Congregational Fast*

Joel 2:15-16 GNT - Blow the trumpet in Zion! Give orders for a fast and call an assembly! Bring everyone together.

This is a fast undertaken by a community of believers.
Israel was called to gather collectively before God in repentance and prayer.

There is spiritual strength in united seeking when believers come together with sincere hearts and a shared pursuit of God.

5. *The Personal Fast*

Matthew 6:16-18 GNT - When you fast, do not put on a sad face as the hypocrites do.

Jesus assumed that His followers would practice fasting, but He emphasized that it should not become a performance for people.

Personal fasting is between you and God. It can be used to seek direction, deepen prayer, humble yourself, or devote focused time to God.

6. *The Fast of Repentance*

Jonah 3:5 GNT - The people of Nineveh believed God's message; so they decided that everyone should fast, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.

The people of Nineveh responded to God's warning with fasting and repentance.

This reveals an important truth: fasting should not merely change what enters your stomach; it should also challenge what is happening in your heart.

7. *The Consecration Fast*

Acts 13:2-3 GNT - While they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul.

The early church fasted while seeking God's direction concerning ministry and assignment.

Fasting can help you deliberately set aside distractions and devote focused attention to God as you seek His wisdom concerning an important season or assignment.

🔥 7 DEADLY HABITS

“Putting Off the Old Man and Walking in the New Man”

Main Text: Ephesians 4:22–24 KJV
Key Text: Romans 6:11–14; Colossians 3:1–17
“Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” — Romans 6:11 KJV

📖 INTRODUCTION — SAVED BY GRACE, BUT NOT SAVED TO LIVE IN SIN

The poster identifies seven destructive habits: lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride. Scripture certainly condemns these kinds of fleshly behavior, but a Dispensational approach must begin with an important distinction:
We do not overcome sin in order to become saved. We deal with sin because, having trusted Christ, we already possess a new identity in Him.
📖 Ephesians 2:8–9 teaches salvation by grace through faith, apart from works. Then Ephesians 2:10 shows that the saved believer is created in Christ Jesus unto good works.

Paul does not teach:
“Clean yourself up so God will accept you.”
He teaches that believers are already “accepted in the beloved” (Ephesians 1:6), and therefore should “walk worthy” of their calling (Ephesians 4:1).
Grace is not permission to sin.
📖 Romans 6:1–2: “Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid.”
📖 Titus 2:11–12 shows that the same grace that saves also teaches us to deny ungodliness.

So our theme is:
GRACE DOESN'T JUST CHANGE YOUR DESTINATION—SOUND GRACE DOCTRINE SHOULD CHANGE YOUR DAILY WALK.

1️⃣ FLEE FLESHLY LUSTS
LUST — “I WANT IT NOW.”
📖 1 Corinthians 6:18; 2 Timothy 2:22; Galatians 5:16
Lust takes a God-given desire and demands satisfaction outside God's will. The flesh says, “I want what I want, when I want it.”
Paul's answer is not merely external religious restriction. It is walking according to our new identity in Christ.

A. FLEE THE TEMPTATION
📖 2 Timothy 2:22
“Flee also youthful lusts…”
Some temptations are not meant to be debated—they are meant to be fled.
Do not deliberately remain where temptation is constantly being fed.

B. FEED THE MIND
📖 Philippians 4:8
The battle against lust involves the mind.
What repeatedly enters the eyes can eventually occupy the thoughts, influence desires, and shape behavior.
Therefore, fill your mind with things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report.

C. FOLLOW THE SPIRIT
📖 Galatians 5:16
“Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”
For the Body of Christ, victory is not produced by returning to Israel's Law covenant.
📖 Romans 6:14
“For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”
🔥 DON'T FEED WHAT CHRIST DIED TO DELIVER YOU FROM.

2️⃣ GOVERN FLESHLY GRATIFICATION
GLUTTONY — “MORE! MORE! MORE!”
📖 1 Corinthians 6:12; 9:25–27; Philippians 3:19
Gluttony represents something broader than simply eating too much. It pictures an appetite that has become a master.
Paul declares:
📖 1 Corinthians 6:12
“…I will not be brought under the power of any.”
Food, entertainment, possessions, pleasure, technology, or comfort can become controlling appetites.

A. GOVERN YOUR APPETITES
📖 1 Corinthians 9:27
Paul speaks of bringing his body into subjection.
The body is a servant—not the master.
The flesh says:
“Give me what feels good.”
Grace-trained thinking asks:
“Will this glorify God?”

B. GUARD YOUR LIBERTY
📖 Galatians 5:13
Grace gives liberty, but liberty must not become:
“…an occasion to the flesh…”
Christian liberty does not mean being controlled by every craving.

C. GLORIFY GOD
📖 1 Corinthians 10:31
“Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”
Even ordinary physical activities can be governed by a spiritual purpose.
🔥 DON'T LET YOUR APPETITE BECOME YOUR AUTHORITY.

3️⃣ GUARD AGAINST GREED
GREED — “IT'S MINE.”
📖 1 Timothy 6:6–10, 17–19; Ephesians 5:3
Greed says:
“More money. More possessions. More status. More for me.”
Grace says:
“What I possess can be used to serve others and glorify God.”
Paul warns:
📖 1 Timothy 6:10
“For the love of money is the root of all evil…”
Notice carefully: money itself is not identified as the root—the love of money is.

A. GUARD YOUR HEART
📖 1 Timothy 6:9–10
The desire to be rich can become a spiritual trap.
Money is useful as a servant but dangerous as a master.

B. GROW IN CONTENTMENT
📖 1 Timothy 6:6
“But godliness with contentment is great gain.”
The greedy man asks:
“How much more can I get?”
The grace-minded believer asks:
“How faithfully can I use what God has entrusted to me?”

C. GIVE WITH GRACE
📖 2 Corinthians 9:7
Giving today is not Israel's compulsory tithing system imposed upon the Body of Christ.
Paul teaches purposeful, willing, cheerful grace giving:
“…not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”
🔥 GREED CLUTCHES. GRACE CONTRIBUTES.

4️⃣ DEFEAT DAILY DILIGENCE-DESTROYERS
SLOTH — “I'LL DO IT LATER.”
📖 Romans 12:11; Colossians 3:23; Ephesians 5:15–16
Spiritual laziness often begins with one seemingly harmless word:
“LATER.”
Later I will study.
Later I will serve.
Later I will reconcile.
Later I will share the Gospel.
Later I will become faithful.
But repeated delay can become a lifestyle.

A. DISCIPLINE YOUR TIME
📖 Ephesians 5:15–16
“Redeeming the time…”
Time is one resource we can spend but never recover.
Use it wisely.

B. DO YOUR WORK HEARTILY
📖 Colossians 3:23
“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord…”
Grace does not produce laziness.
Grace produces grateful service.

C. DEVELOP CONSISTENCY
📖 1 Corinthians 15:58
“…be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord…”
Spiritual maturity is often built through ordinary faithfulness repeated over time.
🔥 DON'T WAIT FOR MOTIVATION TO BECOME FAITHFUL.

5️⃣ WITHHOLD WICKED WRATH
WRATH — “THEY DESERVE IT.”
📖 Ephesians 4:26–32; Romans 12:17–21
Anger can convince us that retaliation is righteousness.
Someone hurts us and the flesh says:
“Make them pay.”
But Paul writes:
📖 Romans 12:19
“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves…”

A. WATCH YOUR ANGER
📖 Ephesians 4:26–27
“Be ye angry, and sin not…”
Anger must not be permitted to control our words and actions.
Unchecked anger gives opportunity for destructive behavior.

B. WITHHOLD REVENGE
📖 Romans 12:19
The believer does not need to become judge, jury, and executioner.
We can leave final justice with God.

C. WALK IN FORGIVENESS
📖 Ephesians 4:31–32
“…forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.”
Notice the Pauline motivation:
We do not forgive in order to become forgiven.
We forgive because in Christ we have been forgiven.
📖 Colossians 2:13
🔥 GRACE RECEIVED SHOULD BECOME GRACE REFLECTED.

6️⃣ ERASE ENVIOUS EYES
ENVY — “WHY NOT ME?”
📖 Galatians 5:26; Philippians 2:3–4; 1 Corinthians 12:18
Envy looks at another person's blessings and interprets them as evidence of our own deficiency.
Someone succeeds.
Someone gets recognized.
Someone has more.
And the flesh whispers:
“Why them and not me?”

A. END COMPARISON
📖 2 Corinthians 10:12
“…comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.”
Constant comparison creates either:
Pride when we think we're ahead, or
envy when we think we're behind.
Neither is spiritually healthy.

B. ESTEEM OTHERS
📖 Philippians 2:3
“…in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.”
Grace allows us to celebrate another person's usefulness without feeling threatened.

C. ENJOY YOUR POSITION
📖 Ephesians 1:3
The believer has already been:
“…blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.”
Your greatest blessings are not measured by another person's possessions.
They are found in Christ.
🔥 WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE IN CHRIST, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ENVY WHAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS IN THIS WORLD.

7️⃣ PUT DOWN PRIDE
PRIDE — “I'VE GOT THIS.”
📖 Romans 12:3; 1 Corinthians 4:7; Philippians 2:5–8
Pride is especially dangerous because it can hide underneath religious activity.
We can become proud of:
Our knowledge.
Our ministry.
Our Bible study.
Our church.
Even our understanding of right division.
Knowing how to rightly divide Scripture should never make us wrongly exalt ourselves.

A. PERCEIVE YOURSELF SOBERLY
📖 Romans 12:3
“…not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think…”
Sound doctrine should produce humility, not arrogance.

B. PRAISE GOD FOR EVERYTHING
📖 1 Corinthians 4:7
“…what hast thou that thou didst not receive?”
Your ability, opportunity, knowledge, resources, and ministry are not grounds for boasting in yourself.
📖 1 Corinthians 1:31
“He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.”

C. PURSUE THE MIND OF CHRIST
📖 Philippians 2:5
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.”
The cure for self-exaltation is not low self-worth.
It is Christ-centered humility.
🔥 PRIDE SAYS, “LOOK AT ME.”
GRACE SAYS, “LOOK AT CHRIST.”

📣 CALL TO ACTION — THREE “R's”

1️⃣ RECKON YOUR POSITION
📖 Romans 6:11
“Reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Start with what God says about your identity.
You are not fighting sin to become accepted.
You fight from the position God has already given you in Christ.

2️⃣ RENEW YOUR MIND
📖 Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:23
Transformation requires renewed thinking.
Replace:
Lust with purity.
Greed with generosity.
Wrath with forgiveness.
Envy with gratitude.
Pride with humility.
Sound doctrine must move from the Bible → mind → heart → behavior.

3️⃣ RENDER YOUR MEMBERS
📖 Romans 6:13
“…yield yourselves unto God…”
Give God your:
Eyes.
Mind.
Mouth.
Hands.
Feet.
Time.
Resources.
Don't merely say:
“I need to stop bad habits.”
Say:
“I WANT MY LIFE TO BE AN INSTRUMENT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO GOD.”

🏁 CONCLUSION

The solution to these seven destructive habits is deeper than motivational self-improvement.
The answer is not:
“Try harder so God will save you.”
The Gospel says:
CHRIST DID THE SAVING WORK.
📖 1 Corinthians 15:1–4
Christ died for our sins.
He was buried.
He rose again.
When the sinner trusts that finished work, salvation is by grace through faith without works.
📖 Ephesians 2:8–9
Then grace begins teaching the saved believer how to live.
📖 Titus 2:11–12

Therefore:
WE ARE NOT SAVED BY HOLY LIVING.
WE ARE SAVED UNTO HOLY LIVING.
Our good works do not produce our position in Christ.
OUR POSITION IN CHRIST SHOULD PRODUCE A CHANGED WALK.

21 REASONS TO HONOR YOUR PASTOR

The Bible teaches believers to honor faithful pastors who preach God's Word, care for His people, and lead His church.

Here are 21 reasons why you should show biblical respect to the faithful servant of God in your congregation.

1. WATCHES YOUR SOUL

A faithful pastor watches over the spiritual lives of God's people (Hebrews 13:17). He desires to help believers remain faithful to the Lord. Failing to honor and obey such a pastor may cause you to reject the godly guidance and counseling God has provided for your spiritual protection.

2. PREACHES GOD'S WORD

A faithful pastor studies the Bible so he can teach God's truth accurately (2 Timothy 4:2). His preaching helps believers know and obey the Scriptures. Dishonoring and disobeying a pastor who faithfully teaches God's Word may cause you to ignore truth that can transform your life.

3. EQUIPS ALL BELIEVERS

God gives pastors to prepare believers for service (Ephesians 4:11-12). They help God's congregation and individuals grow in faith and maturity. Men and women who refuse to honor pastors who equip the church miss valuable opportunities for spiritual growth.

4. PRAYS FOR YOU

Faithful pastors regularly pray for the people under their care (James 5:14-16). They ask God to strengthen, protect, and guide His people. Failing to appreciate a pastor who faithfully and continually prays for you can lead you to overlook one of God's greatest blessings.

5. GIVES WISE COUNSEL

Pastors use God's Word to help believers make wise decisions (Proverbs 15:22). Their counsel often prevents unnecessary pain and regret. Dishonoring a pastor who willingly offers Bible-based advice may lead you to make costly mistakes.

6. DEFENDS BIBLICAL TRUTH

A faithful pastor protects the church from false teaching (Titus 1:9). He encourages believers to remain faithful to sound doctrine. Rejecting a pastor who defends biblical truth can leave you vulnerable to spiritual deception.

7. LEADS BY EXAMPLE

Pastors are called to set an example through their faith and conduct (1 Peter 5:2-3). Their lives encourage other believers to follow the Messiah. Failing to honor a pastor who lives faithfully may cause you to ignore a godly example God has placed before you.

8. ENCOURAGES THE WEAK

A faithful pastor comforts people who suffer and encourages individuals who struggle (1 Thessalonians 5:14). His words often restore hope during difficult and challenging seasons. Refusing to honor such a pastor may cause you to lack encouragement God wants you to receive.

9. MALIGNED AND CRITICIZED

Faithful pastors are often criticized, falsely accused, and spoken against because they remain committed to God's truth (Matthew 5:11-12). Many continue serving with patience despite misunderstanding, opposition, and personal attacks. Failing to honor such a pastor may cause you to join those who oppose the very servant God has appointed.

10. CORRECTS IN LOVE

A faithful pastor lovingly corrects sin using the Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:16). His purpose is to help believers grow in righteousness and truth. Rejecting a pastor who persistently corrects error can allow sin to become stronger in your life.

11. PREPARES YOU

Every faithful sermon points believers toward eternal life (2 Timothy 4:7-8). Pastors remind God's people to remain ready for Messiah's return. Failing to honor such a pastor may cause you to neglect your spiritual preparation.

12. BUILDS UNITY

Pastors encourage peace, forgiveness, and unity within the church (Ephesians 4:3). Unity allows God's people to serve Him together. Dishonoring pastors who work for unity often creates unnecessary division.

13. STANDS WITH FAMILIES

Faithful pastors comfort families during sickness, grief, and personal trials. They also strengthen marriages and encourage parents. Refusing to honor such pastors may cause families to lose valuable spiritual support.

14. SHARES LIFE'S MOMENTS

Pastors dedicate children, baptize believers, officiate weddings, conduct funerals, and perform many other important ministries. They stand with families and individuals during life's most important moments. Dishonoring pastors who faithfully serve in these seasons shows little appreciation for their ministry.

15. SACRIFICES HIS TIME

Many pastors spend countless hours praying, counseling, teaching, and visiting people and families. Much of this work is done quietly without public recognition. Failing to honor such commitment can discourage faithful servants of God.

16. POSSESSES DIVINE POWER

Faithful pastors have been entrusted by God with the spiritual authority to lead, teach, and exercise biblical discipline within the church (Matthew 18:18). They use this divine power and authority to strengthen believers, protect the congregation, and uphold God's truth. Failing to honor a pastor who exercises this God-given authority may cause you to reject the leadership and order God has established for His people.

17. DEVELOPS SPIRITUAL GIFTS

Pastors help believers discover and use their spiritual gifts (Romans 12:6-8). Every member has a role in God's work. Dishonoring pastors who develop others may prevent both you and the church from growing.

18. TRAINS THE YOUTH

Many pastors invest time in teaching children, teenagers, and young adults. They prepare the next generation to serve God faithfully. Failing to honor pastors who mentor young people weakens the future of the church.

19. OFTEN AWAY FROM FAMILY

Many pastors spend long hours away from their wives and children while serving God's people. They sacrifice family time to preach, teach, pray, counsel, and visit those in need. Failing to honor pastors who willingly make these sacrifices may cause you to overlook the personal cost of their ministry.

20. USES THEIR RESOURCES

Many faithful pastors willingly use their own money, homes, vehicles, and personal possessions to support God's work and help those in need. They give generously because they love God and care deeply for His people. Refusing to honor pastors who sacrificially use their resources may cause you to take their generosity for granted.

21. TEMPTED BY SATAN

Pastors face constant spiritual attacks because Satan seeks to discourage those who lead God's people (1 Peter 5:8). They need the prayers, encouragement, and support of the church as they remain faithful to their calling. Failing to honor and pray for faithful pastors may leave them carrying heavy spiritual burdens without the support God expects believers to provide.

A FINAL REFLECTION

The Bible calls believers to respect, pray for, and support faithful pastors who leads God's church and teaches God's Word with integrity.

REASONS WHY MOST CHURCH MEMBERS DON'T GET BLESSED.

(1) SPEAKING AGAINST THE VESSEL:-

When you speak againt your pastor in the secret but claim to love him in the open, You can't be blessed. The oil you speak againt can't bless you.

(2) NO PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD:-

Most church members don't have personal relationship with GOD. They usually rely on their pastor for everything.

(3) OVER FAMILIARITY:-

I don't have problems with getting close to your pastor but don't get familiar. Over familiarity will make you see your pastor as an ordinary person and you won't be taking him serious even when he is speaking from the spirit realm.

(4) OFFENCES AND HATRED:-

Most church members are habouring offences in their heart. Offences against their pastor, his wife, or offences against a fellow church member. Offences is the mother of hatred. If this is found in you, Gods blessings will be very far from you.

(5) PRAYERLESNESS:-

Life is a battle ground and if you don't create a strong atmosphere of prayers in your life, you can't access certain blessings because the kingdom of darkness is also interested in making that blessings not to get to you. There could be forces that are hindrances to your blessings, if you don't pray, you will become a prey.

(6) GOSSIPS (BBC) BELIEVER'S BROADCASTING CORPORATION:-

Most church members are busy gossiping with other people's names. Gossip and mockery are twins and once it's found in you, blessings can't come close.

(7) LIVING IN SIN:-

God hates sin because it sinks peoples blessings. You can't be praying for God's blessings while you're still living in the estate sin of the devil.

‎
‎ THE LAW WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS — STOP DRAGGING IT BACK!
‎
‎One of the biggest problems in the church today is that Christ finished something, but some preachers keep resurrecting it.
‎Jesus said:
‎“It is finished.” — John 19:30
‎
‎But somebody will still stand behind the pulpit and tell believers:
‎“You are still under the law!”
‎Under which law?
‎Moses?
‎
‎Paul says Christ is “the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” — Romans 10:4
‎
‎Colossians 2:14 speaks of the handwriting of ordinances being taken out of the way and nailed to His cross.
‎Then verse 16 says:
‎“Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days.”
‎
‎Why?
‎“Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.” — Colossians 2:17
‎
‎ THE SHADOW WAS NEVER THE DESTINATION. CHRIST IS.
‎The law had a purpose.
‎Galatians 3:24 describes the law as a schoolmaster leading to Christ.
‎But when Christ came, why are you dragging the student back to the schoolmaster for righteousness?
‎
‎😂 Imagine graduating from university and somebody says, “Congratulations! Now go back to primary school—you need the uniform to remain qualified.”
‎No!
‎
‎ LISTEN CAREFULLY:
‎The law is not evil.
‎Paul said the law was holy and righteous (Romans 7:12).
‎
‎The problem is using the law for what God never designed it to accomplish: making sinners righteous before Him.
‎Galatians 2:21 says:
‎“If righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.”
‎That is serious!
‎
‎If keeping Moses is what makes you righteous, why did Christ need to die?
‎If your acceptance depends on your Sabbath keeping, your dietary regulations, your observance of days, or your ability to perfectly perform the law—
‎then your confidence is no longer in Christ alone.
‎And that's the bo***ge Paul fought against.
‎
‎ THE GOSPEL SAYS:
‎The law says, “DO.”
‎The Gospel says, “IT IS DONE.”
‎The law exposes sin.
‎Christ deals with sin.
‎The law commands righteousness.
‎Christ gives righteousness to the believer by faith.
‎The law says, “You must perform.”
‎Grace says, “Christ has performed.”
‎
‎Romans 3:20 says that by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified in God's sight.
‎So why keep putting believers under the system that could never justify them?
‎
‎ AND BEFORE SOMEBODY SHOUTS, “YOU ARE PREACHING LAWLESSNESS!”
‎No.
‎Grace is not permission to live carelessly.
‎Grace is the revelation that your righteousness is in Christ.
‎Titus 2:11–12 teaches that grace trains us to deny ungodliness and live soberly, righteously and godly.
‎
‎We don't need Moses to make us righteous.
‎We have Christ.
‎We don't need condemnation to produce holiness.
‎We have the Spirit.
‎We don't obey God to become accepted.
‎We obey from the reality that we have been accepted in Christ.
‎
‎Christ nailed the old covenant's condemning ordinances to the cross. Stop turning the cross into a doorway back into bo***ge.
‎The believer's confidence is not:
‎“How perfectly did I keep Moses?”
‎It is:
‎“HOW PERFECTLY DID CHRIST FINISH THE WORK?”
‎And the answer is:
‎COMPLETELY.
‎IT IS FINISHED!
‎We cover the earth with the fragrance of the knowledge of the Gospel of Christ. 🌍

7 Reasons why some young people struggle or fail in life and in their walk with salvation,
1. Lack of knowledge of God
When young people do not know God’s Word, they can easily be misled and make destructive choices.
📖 Hosea 4:6 — “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
2. Wrong friendships and peer pressure
The people we surround ourselves with can influence our decisions, character, and spiritual life.
📖 1 Corinthians 15:33 — “Bad company corrupts good character.”
3. Disobedience to God
Knowing what God says but continually choosing the opposite can take a person away from God’s purpose.
📖 Deuteronomy 28:1 — Blessings are connected with listening carefully and obeying God.
4. Lack of discipline and self-control
Without discipline, young people can follow every desire and distraction instead of pursuing their God-given purpose.
📖 1 Corinthians 9:27 — Paul speaks about disciplining his body and keeping it under control.
5. Love of worldly things
When money, popularity, entertainment, or status becomes more important than God, spiritual growth suffers.
📖 1 John 2:15 — “Do not love the world or anything in the world.”
6. Neglecting prayer and the Word
A relationship with God cannot grow strongly when prayer and Scripture are continually neglected.
📖 Matthew 26:41 — “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”
7. Comparing themselves with others instead of following God’s purpose
Comparison can make young people lose focus, become discouraged, or imitate people instead of becoming who God called them to be.
📖 Galatians 6:4 — “Each one should test their own actions.”

8 Things Fasting Does That Prayer Alone Cannot Do

1. Fasting breaks stubborn yokes and spiritual resistance (Isaiah 58:6)
Some battles won’t bow to prayer alone. Fasting adds fire to your prayers, breaking chains that have lingered for years. It is a weapon of deliverance against deeply rooted oppression.

2. Fasting humbles the flesh and exalts the spirit (Psalm 35:13)
While prayer lifts your voice, fasting silences your flesh. It brings your body under submission and realigns your desires with the Spirit. Pride dies, and surrender becomes easier.

3. Fasting increases spiritual sensitivity and discernment (Acts 13:2)
In fasting, your spiritual senses are sharpened. You hear God clearer, dream more vividly, and discern spirits more accurately. What was once vague becomes clear in the place of consecration.

4. Fasting opens the door for divine direction and clarity (Ezra 8:21)
When decisions are hard and confusion is loud, fasting silences the noise. It creates room for divine instructions to come through without interference. Direction flows where distraction dies.

5. Fasting releases divine favour and supernatural help (Esther 4:16)
Fasting provokes heaven to respond. Doors open, hearts shift, and favour is released where there was once resistance. It positions you for divine intervention beyond human effort.

6. Fasting accelerates spiritual growth and maturity (Luke 2:37)
Those who fast regularly grow deeper and faster. It matures your hunger, strengthens your discipline, and deepens your dependence on God. You stop surviving and start thriving spiritually.

8. Fasting purifies your motives and intentions (Joel 2:12–13)
It reveals what’s really in your heart. In fasting, hidden idols, selfish desires, and impure motives rise to the surface — and God begins the work of cleansing and transformation.
7. Fasting silences the voice of the enemy (Matthew 4:2–4)
The flesh is the devil’s loudest microphone. When you fast, you turn it off. Temptations lose their grip, and Satan’s lies become easier to detect and reject.
