1 John 2:15-17 New King James Version (NKJV) Do Not Love the World 15  Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  16  For all that is in the world— the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life —is not of the Father but is of the world.  17  And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. Let’s break the three things down but before we do that, let us look at the definition of lust. Lust Lust in mankind definition means “ a psychological force producing intense wanting or longing for an object, or circumstance fulfilling the emotion.” In this verse, God instructs us not to associate ourselves with the world. By mentioning the world HE means the things of the world which are evil and not of God. What are the three things that are of the world? They are clearly mentioned in this ...

Psalm 46:1-3, 7-11 Psalm 46:1-3 New King James Version (NKJV) God the Refuge of His People and Conqueror of the Nations To the Chief Musician.  A Psalm  of the sons of Korah. A Song for Alamoth. 46  God  is  our refuge and strength, A [ a ]  very present help in trouble. 2  Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the  [ b ] midst of the sea; 3  Though  its waters roar  and  be troubled, Though  the mountains shake with its swelling.  Selah Psalm 46:7-11 New King James Version (NKJV) 7  The Lord of hosts  is  with us; The God of Jacob  is  our refuge.  Selah 8  Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has made desolations in the earth. 9  He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the f...

Genesis 1:26-27 New King James Version (NKJV) 26  Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over  [ a ] all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”  27  So God created man in His  own  image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. From the beginning of time, we had the image of God until man lost it when he fell in the garden of Eden. This was redeemed by Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in the following verses. Colossians 1:15 New King James Version (NKJV) 15  He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. Hebrews 1:3 New King James Version (NKJV) 3  who being the brightness of  His  glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the w...

Ruth 2 New King James Version (NKJV) Ruth Meets Boaz 2  There was a relative of Naomi’s husband, a man of great wealth, of the family of Elimelech. His name  was  Boaz.  2  So Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the field, and glean heads of grain after  him  in whose sight I may find favor.” And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.” 3  Then she left, and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And she happened to come to the part of the field  belonging  to Boaz, who  was  of the family of Elimelech. 4  Now behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “The Lord  be  with you!” And they answered him, “The Lord bless you!” 5  Then Boaz said to his servant who was in charge of the reapers, “Whose young woman  is  this?” 6  So the servant who was in charge of the reapers answered and said, “It...

Book(s) Job 1:20-22 John 2:9-10. 2 Samuel 6:12-14 How do you know God brethren? Let me rephrase the question…How do you recognize God as? Do you refer to Him as the God of your parents, maybe another persona? For example, you pray to the God of your father instead of God your father…get it? 2 Samuel 6:12-14 New King James Version (NKJV) 12  Now it was told King David, saying, “The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that  belongs  to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with gladness.  13  And so it was, when those bearing the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, that he sacrificed oxen and fatted sheep.  14  Then David danced [ a ]  before the Lord with all  his might; and David  was  wearing a linen ephod. The carrying of the ark of the covenant require...

F alse E vidence A ppearing R eal According to the worldly definition: Fear  is a feeling induced by perceived danger or threat that occurs in certain types of organisms, which causes a change in metabolic and organ functions and ultimately a change in behavior, such as fleeing, hiding, or freezing from perceived traumatic events. Now let’s interpret this in Scripture, shall we? Proverbs 9:10 New King James Version (NKJV) 10  “The fear of the Lord  is  the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One  is  understanding. Understand that the only fear that is considered a positive kind of fear is the fear of God. The rest are considered negative they bring forth negative energy and sin in the surrounding. Now let’s talk about the fear of the world which is negative. Fear of other things is from the devil and it is meant to delay your purpose in life and in the end destroy your destiny. Fear is a liar and gives you a...

In life, nobody wants to be blamed for any wrongdoing. People tend to transfer the blame to other parties or situations in life. Let’s picture some examples in our minds: When you are late for an appointment or workplace, how do we react when questioned? Simple, we always blame the traffic, right? Yet if we left our destinations earlier, we would not have a reason to start blaming or if we accepted the blame and corrected on our wrongdoings, we would not shift blame to another.   There are other situations of blame games in our lives and this is also seen in scripture. Genesis 3:1-13 New King James Version (NKJV) The Temptation and Fall of Man 3  Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” 2  And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;  3...
