BE
STEADFAST IN FAITH
Memorise
Therefore,
my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work
of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know
that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:58
Read
Revelation 3:7-11
3:7 And to
the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is
holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no
man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
3:8 I know
thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it:
for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my
name.
3:9 Behold, I
will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not,
but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and
to know that I have loved thee.
3:10 Because
thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of
temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon
the earth.
3:11 Behold,
I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
MESSAGE
Many Christians believe in their pastor and the
doctrines of their Church. There is nothing wrong in this in as much as the
pastor is living right and the doctrines are biblical. However, your faith and
steadfastness must be built on Jesus Christ, the Author and Finisher of your
faith who cannot disappoint you. A man will backslide with his pastor, if his
faith anchors on the pastor and the pastor backslides. This is the reason why
you must know Jesus Christ through and through. What you know concerning Jesus
Christ will make you steadfast if you know Him adequately enough. The Holy
Spirit through Apostle Paul wrote this:
“But
what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless,
and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ
Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count
them but dung, that I may win Christ,”
Philippians 3:7-8
You may want to ask, what do I know concerning the
Lord Jesus? I know that Jesus is alive. I am very sure of this. I have very
many testimonies to prove this. I was always feeling ill and it was a monthly
occurrence despite medications. I had taken more than two thousand injections
without any respite. However, when I started calling on the Name of Jesus, I
never fell ill again. For my wife and children, He is just the same. Illness
has been completely removed from my home. He that you believe is alive should
surely help you to overcome just about any problem and quickly too, if truly He
is alive. If He is dead, surely He cannot even help Himself. An ordinary man
cannot perform these miracles no matter how deep he has gone into occultism. Satan
will cast you aside to face another person once he knows he cannot take you
away from Jesus Christ. Just go on praising God if Satan brings illness to your
child. This attitude will shock the devil and make him flee from you. He will
see you as a mad man rejoicing in the midst of trouble. The world and its lusts
would run from you if you can stand firm in your faith. The Bible in Galatians
5:1 says:
“Stand
fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not
entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”
May the Lord uphold you to the end in Jesus’ Name.
Prayer
Point
Father, I cannot hold myself; I put my trust in your everlasting arm,
please uphold me to the very end.
