THE SWEET SAVOUR OF TRIUMPHING THROUGH CHRIST JESUS



2 Corinthians 2:14-15 states that "Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:". This is a unique experience such that the Almighty Father who specialises in effecting supernatural course of events chooses to make the savour of His knowledge known through everyone that abides in Christ. As believers, we are called to abide in Him, thereby allowing His presence to fill our hearts and direct our steps. When we fully surrender to His desires and trust in His promises, we experience victory over the challenges of this world even while being enveloped in a deep sense of Peace and Joy that saturates God's Holy Presence.

In John 15:4-5, Jesus says, "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." These powerful words coming from Christ Jesus goes further to explain the importance of staying connected to Christ as the only genuine source of strength and sustenance. When we abide in Him, we are able to bear the fruit that glorifies God and reflect His love to the world around us.

Psalm 23:1-3 proclaims, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake." Dwelling in Christ Jesus is like being led to a place of rest and refreshment. Our souls tend to find restoration while our minds and thoughts are straightened as we continually abide in him. We can trust in His guidance and provision, knowing that He will never lead us astray.

Romans 8:37 declares, "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." When we abide in Christ, we are empowered to overcome any obstacle that comes our way. His love gives us the strength to persevere, the courage to surmount obstacles and the faith to believe that nothing is impossible with God on our side. As we trust in His victorious might, we can walk in confidence and assurance, knowing that we are conquerors through Him.

The sweetness of dwelling in Christ Jesus is resident in the intimacy of our relationship with Him. In John 14:23, Jesus says, "If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." When we abide in His love and obey His commands, we are welcomed into the presence of the Father and the Son while experiencing the fullness of Love and Grace. This close communion with the Trinity substantiates our hearts with Peace, Joy, and contentment that surpasses all understanding.

As we meditate on THE SWEET SAVOUR OF TRIUMPHING THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, let us be encouraged that it is achievable. If remain steadfast in faith and ensure we stay committed to our calling he will make us to grow into that stature of the fullness of Christ. He is the vine, and we are the branches - connected to Him, we can exude the sweetening knowledge of God which will last for eternity. Get connected to JESUS CHRIST today and enjoy the benefits that accompanies such a wise decision.

THE GOOD FRUIT OF EVERY GOOD TREE

  In the Holy Bible, specifically in the book of Matthew chapter 7, verse 17, it is written: "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." It is important to remember that most trees are known by the fruit they bear but as we digest this piece, let us not be quick to forget the spiritual principle that states that good actions will always yield good results, just as a good tree will yield good fruit. During the course of living our daily lives, we may have encountered situations where our actions and choices determined the outcomes we experience. This is a true reflection of this moral principle. However, the teachings of JESUS CHRIST as outlined in the Holy Bible must still serve as the guiding light for believers who seek to live righteous and fruitful lives. The fruit of a tree is a reflection of the health and vitality of the tree itself. Similarly, the choices and actions of every Christian showcases the character of g...

The Benevolence That Renews Our Minds

  In a world often fraught with stress, conflict, and uncertainty, finding inner peace and contentment can feel like an elusive dream. However, the ageless wisdom from God Almighty sheds light on the transformative power of a renewed mind while revealing to us the path that leads towards benevolence and fulfilment.   The concept of a renewed mind is emphasized in Romans 12:2. It states, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." This verse encourages us to network our thoughts and ensure that it is in tune with the truth neptuned in God’s Will. A renewed mind foils the sense of inner peace and harmony. It allows us to view life's challenges through a lens of faith and resilience. Philippians 4:7 beautifully captures this promise, "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus...

ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS FOR GREATNESS

Most things in life survive with the nutrition they get from ingesting food. Everything we take into our nervous system either acts to heal us or to destroy us. We must therefore ensure that we consider consuming those with the potentials for providing healing and reject every other. Do not think of nourishment only as what we take in through our mouths. What we consume with our eyes, our ears, our noses, our tongues, and our bodies also constitute the nutrients we feed on. Reasonable contribution and inputs that we occasionally deliver during the conversations we engage ourselves in on daily basis can only be possible by feeding on enriching and nourishing nutrients. We are not expected to neglect consistent consumption of healthy food both emotionally, physically and spiritually because they help in making us modern versions of the mind edifice that guarantees the indemnification of moral sanctity. Think about it this way. If moral sanctity blossom, the society will be filled with mo...
