Christian Living
Now let's get started!This day we shall be exploring the subject:"The Blessings of Godliness".In this our day to day decaying world,the biblical term"GODLINESS"is fast disappearing in many minds and vocabulary.
Let's start by defining it.The word "godliness"means living Godway.So a godly person could be tagged one living Godway.This term was very present in the early disciples'language and church.I believe is because they understood what christianity is all about.Christianity can not be lived in its peak until the Body of Christ lives with its understanding.
From Genesis to Revelation we are told of the stories of the godly and ungodly and their respective reward.Sometimes, in the Bible,other terms as "observing the commandments"(Deut.28:1);"rigtheousness"(Isa.54:17);"uprightness(Psa.84:11);"one that feareth God"(Job 1:7-10) and "walking in the ways of the Lord"(Psa.128:1) are used to described such manner of life.
From the understanding of the Scriptures we can therefore establish that christianity is not a call unto practicing "religion"but a call of walking in newness of life(Rom.6:4;2Cor.5:17).This manner of living is expected from every one that makes mention of the name of the Lord Jesus(2Tim.2:19).This peculiar life is launched in the believer at salvation.This is the only life that God reckons with.Because it's that which emanates from the righteousness of His Son Jesus Christ.Godliness,think of it.Are you living a godly life?To better walk in it,let me share with you briefly the 10 blessings:
1)It guarantees the good health of your relationship with the Father(Gen.5:24;1Sam.15:22).
2)You will live a life of constant spiritual revival(Psa.1:3).
3)It guarantees you answers to prayers to the Father(1John 3:22).
4)You will receive God's best in life(Psa.84:11).
5)You will enjoy lifelong prosperity and pleasures(Job 36:11).
6)You will enjoy a life of productivity and fecondity(Deuteronomy 7:12-14).
7)You will enjoy Divine health(Deuteronomy 7:15:Exodus 15:26).
8)You will enjoy Divine protection(Psa.125:1-3;Isaiah 54:17;Numbers 23:23;Psa.34:8).
9)You will enjoy longetivity(Psa.34:11-17)
10)You will be a heaven candidate(1Corinthians 6:9-10;Galatians 5:19-21).
Dear friend,understand that one excels in God's kingdom through REVELATION.The greater you walk in revelation the greater you will soar high above sin,difficulties and the devil.Now that you have an added weapon to that which you have already,fight the good fight of faith.In redemption you have been made a MORE THAN CONQUEROR THROUGH HIM THAT LOVES YOU(Rom.8:37).You are so precious in God's sight.He loves you and wants to see you on top(Deut.28:13).Praise the Lord!!!
