The Father's Traits

main image

We know that we possess our earthly father's traits. But have you thought about the traits that our heavenly Father possesses that should be ours as well? Galatians 5:22-23 tells us that He has perfect qualities and traits that we should desire to have them for ourselves. Think about it if someone is loving they will care about you because of you. When they are joyful they are a pleasure to be around. When they are patient with you then they won't dump you when your acting a little off. When they are kind to you or good to you, then you know you are safe in their presence. If they are faithful then you can trust them. If they are gentle then they won't be harsh or brash. And finally if they can control themselves then they keep themselves to a higher standard. These are His traits and they should be ours. When you strive to be like Him then we have no rules or laws that say we are too worldly. Strive to be like Him!!! 

Do you find it hard sometimes to walk the walk of your Father? Let us help you stay on track drop us a line and we promise to respond!!!

Fit For The Kingdom

main image

If I was to ask you if you were fit for the kingdom, you'd probably look at me funny and say "of course I am, what kind of question is that"? Well what if I was to tell you that this question is more about your commitment, than your hearts condition. Would you still say yes?

Today's church has been asked this very thing according to The book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. He tells most of the Churches that he has somewhat against them because of their fitness for the kingdom. Listen to what he says to Ephesus return to your first works and repent. To Smyrna he says do not be afraid of persecution. To Pergamum he says repent of idolatry and sexual immorality that has crept in. He says to Thyatira to be sanctified and hold on to his promises. He says to Sardis wake up and fortify his teachings in their lives before they are too worldly and miss out on his return. He says to Philadelphia that they should keep holding on to what they have done in Christ and don't lose it. And to Laodicea, he says don't be as destitute as the rest of the world is;but become true disciples of him.

We can't be satisfied with the status quo when it comes to the kingdom. We must always be like Paul and press towards the mark of achievement for the King. We must be striving the furthering the kingdom of Christ. If not then we are not fit for the kingdom! Are you fit for the kingdom?

We'd love to hear from you please comment and we'll be glad to respond, with a word of encouragement!!!
