Unshaken Part 1



The world we live in is changing every day, it is not as it used to be was my mum's slogan. I remember meeting someone years ago, and when I asked about their identity, they told me 'times have changed ' ! Really? I think this is real for me now, yes times have changed, but we are still here. How then do we live with stability in changing times? That's what this post address. Welcome to Triumphant in Christ and hope this bless you.

The book of Hebrews 12:28, reads "Therefore, since we receive a KINGDOM which cannot be shaken, let us show GRATITUDE,  by which we may offer to God an acceptable SERVICE with reverence and awe. Surely there is a kingdom which cannot be shaken, and if we want to be unshaken in a shaking world, we need to find the location of the unshakable kingdom and transit there. From the Bible, we understand that God's kingdom is the unshakable kingdom, it is eternal. In Revelation 1:8, Jesus introduced himself as the Alpha and Omega, the one who was, who is and who is to come. The kingdom of our LORD  is the unshaken kingdom,  and it is those who are part of this kingdom that will remain unshaken when all things are shaken. To become a part of this unshakable kingdom,  you need to accept the sacrifice of Jesus for your sins, and place your trust in him. 

Having moved to the unshakable kingdom, how do we continue standing? We become a part of this kingdom by Grace through Faith according to Ephesians 2:8-9, and it is important for us to continue in our walk by Grace and Faith. Knowing the kingdom to which we belong, we should be gracious and approach life with gratitude, having the divine influence of grace on our hearts and let this reflect in our lives. Gratitude never buries the good, it is always graceful with the good. This should be our daily lifestyle,  a lifestyle of praise to God and of grace toward others. 

With this graceful outlook, you should always keep in mind that you were made for a purpose and that purpose is service. Everything created by God or manufactured by man is designed with a purpose in mind. And the primary purpose of every man is to give God glory through service, according to Revelation 4:11, you were created to give God pleasure through your life of service. Your life should be lived as an offering poured out for God and people, it's never about us, it's about Him our GOD and his people. When you live each day with eternity in mind, you will not be moved by things happening around because you are living beyond this realm through service.

Ish! So much to say in a short time, why not join me next week for the concluding part of Unshaken? 

Till you stop by next time, remain UNSHAKEN!!!!!!

WHAT TIME IS IT NOW?

  Our life here on earth is guided by time. The importance of time in life is often expressed in the phrase 'Time is of the essence'. But do we truly understand how much time counts? Not just in relation to the life cycle, completion of projects, and the deadlines associated with contracts, but in relation to eternity. The knowledge of the importance of time helps us to place priorities on activities. We don't leave for the latter what we need to do now. I can reverse my wristwatch to deceive myself that it's not yet time for an event, but it cannot stop the event from happening. Truth is my feelings or your feelings cannot stop or change an assigned time. But why am I saying all this about time?  “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven,  but My Father only." Matthew 24:36 NKJV Jesus spoke of some events that would precede His return, but what He never told us is the exact time of His return. As a human being, we think knowing the set ...

Bible verses on Peace

We live in uncertain times, a time where no one has the answer, not even the experts. A time where worry and anxiety seem to be the natural resolve, but is this God's will for  his children? Definetly not! The Bible is full of verses that promises peace for God's children, for anyone who has placed their trust and confidence in God, God has promised peace in the face of problems. I have put up here Bible verses on peace that you can keep your heart on in this season and always, and I hope you find this helpful. This verse tells us that one of the Messiah's names is Prince of Peace. He is our Lord of Peace, the initiator and sustainer of our peace, so we can be rest assured of peace when we are in him. God has promised us in his word that He (God) will keep everyone who trust in him in perfect peace. Everyone who makes Jesus his Lord, will enjoy the peace of the Lord. Through Christ, God has preached peace to us who were afar ( non Jewish), and he has promised to heal us of ...

What is your worth?

Worth is a language of exchange,  it relates to items and values. The value placed on an item describes its worth. A worth also relate to the level at which someone is valued. In essence, it refers to what can be given in exchange for something of value. To purchase a gold ring, you will be willing to pay far beyond what you would have paid for a costume one, so they are not the same in value, and the price of the ring is also determined by its carat. To buy a used car, you examine it's worth by giving consideration to its condition,  mileage and other features. And you will never pay beyond or below the perceived worth. Ultimately,  you only offer the price you think an item is worth. How about you, I mean your life, your soul, what exactly are you worth? Having grown up in Nigeria, where I have heard countless stories of money rituals, and watched several on movies, I found it really amazing that when wealth, power and influence is given to people, what is requested in ...
