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!!!!!!

Triumphant One

One who triumph is a Victor or a Conquest, a Conqueror. this connotes the idea of one who has gone into battle and finished on a victorious note. He did not just win, but has also gathered spoil, therefore, he is a notable success. Isn't it interesting that the Scriptures calls us conquerors. According to Romans 8vs37, Apostle Paul wrote by the Holy Ghost that we (who have believed in God by the sacrifice of Jesus) are more than conquerors through Christ(the Anointed one and His Anointing) who has loved us. As long as we remain in Christ, all battles are as good as won, for by his death, burial& Resurrection, he spoiled he spoiled principalities and power, and made a public show of them"(Colossians 2 vs 15). By his sacrifice, we are guarranted victory in All things.

Favour as a Shield

Psalms 5:12, says the Lord will surround the righteous with favour as with a shield. Who doesn't like to be favoured? Surely I want to be favoured,  and I guess you are just like me.  When I first read this scripture, what came to mind was how can I be qualified for this favour? How can I become righteous? My human nature told me I had to be perfect, I thought of all the dos and donts I have learnt growing up, but none of this made me righteous.  But the Holy Spirit reminded me of 2Corinthians 5:21, which says God made him (Christ) who knew no sin, to be sin on our behalf, so that we (you and I) may become the righteousness of God. Really? Absolutely Yes! Jesus became sin so that I can be made God's righteousness.  If I have been made God's righteousness by his death and resurrection, it will require his death and resurrection to be undone before I can loose my righteousness then. Praise God that his work can never be undone. By that one sa...

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 ...
