Stand up and be a man

God made us man and woman, for a reason. We are different and we have different roles. God's ways are perfect.  If we violate God's order and His plan then we are doomed to failure and destruction.

The man must be the father, leader, provider  and priest of his house. You can only fulfill your God ordained role, if you submit to Jesus and obey Him. You need to get your wisdom from Him in all things.  The father must lead his family in serving God, and he can only do that if he is totally submitted to Jesus.

You are responsible for your house and God holds you accountabe for that which He has entrusted to you, for the wife He has given you, and for the children that He has blessed you with.

If you follow and obey Jesus, He will guide you in all things and He will supply in all your needs.   He will enable you to work and supply for your family and He will guide you in all decisions. He will give you wisdom to deal with all situations, but you need to stay close to Him, because without Jesus, we can do nothing. Without Jesus we will surely fail.

The Lord's guidance is not always easy to follow, but you have to follow Jesus, not your wife, not your own mind or other people, whoever they might be. You have to submit to Jesus, live according to His teachings, seek and follow His guidance and do as He commands  you to do. Submit yourself to Jesus; you will prosper in His ways and you and your house and your children, will be blessed.

All men must know that you and your house fear, serve and honor God.

The father of the house must submit himself to the discipline of the Lord and he must discipline his children. "All discipline, for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness." Hebrews 12:11.

Do not conform to the world, do not give in to preasure to be worldly. Follow after Jesus, not after the world, the media and satan. Do not allow sin to be practiced in your house. Do not let the TV and the media determine your way of living. "The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, But He blesses the dwelling of the righteous." Proverbs 3:33. Your house must be a house of prayer, not of fun, excess, sin, fornication and worldliness.

Do not spoil your children, but teach them to work hard, earn a living and be fruitful. Do not give your children everything they want and do not allow them to follow after their worldly friends. Teach them to fear, obey and respect God, and not to give in to peer pressure. You must set the example.

Pray for your house and teach your children to pray, to fear and serve Jesus. Teach your children to get their guidance and help from Jesus. They will follow your footsteps and if you guide them wrong, God will punish you and your wife. Jesus said:"but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."Matthew 18:6.

Love your wife and respect her. Teach your children to respect and honor her. Pray with her and together, seek your wisdom and guidance from Jesus. Be faithful to your wife and care for her needs. There will only be harmony in your house, if you both submit to Jesus. Jesus must always be first. Seek His kingdom and His righteousness, His guidance and His approval, and obey Him.

Stand up and be a man.  Repent from going your own way, from being lazy, from being a coward.  Submit yourself to Jesus, serve Him,  and He will keep you standing. Follow Him, and He will guide you in all things. Stay close to Jesus and you will not stumble. He will keep you and sustain you. Be the man that Jesus made you to be.

May Jesus bless you.

Stand Up For Jesus

Many people say they are Christians and that they believe in Jesus. They believe Jesus died for them so that they can have life, a good life, but very few are willing to stand up for Jesus and His words. They are ashamed to be associated with Jesus.

When you talk about Jesus, Christians will ask you what church you belong to. when you tell them that you do not belong to a church, but to Jesus, they look at you as though you are crazy. They associate with their church organization but to associate with Jesus to them, is weird.

They run after celebrity preachers, theologians and church leaders and they quote their wo rds and teachings, but they do not quote the words of Jesus.

Most Christians are Bible believers, but they avoid the words of Jesus as they are recorded in the Bible, in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They rather quote some other scriptures. Most of them will tell you that it is impossible to stop sinning. Jesus said that he who sins is a slave to sin. If Jesus has set you free you will be free from the bondage of sin.

When you testify that Jesus speaks to you, He guides and teaches you, modern day Christians want to send you for psychiatric treatment, because you are hearing voices.

Jesus said His sheep hear His voice and they follow Him. They do not hear voices, they know their Master's voice. They do not listen to strangers.

Most Christian cannot talk about Jesus, they cannot witness for Jesus. Many who have met Him are ashamed of Him. They rather talk about thier church, their pastor, or they quote Bible verses and the sayings of famous preachers.

The true followers of Jesus stand up for Him. They are not ashamed of witnessing for Jesus and of standing for His words and for truth and righteousness. Jesus warned that if we deny Him before men, He will deny us before His heavenly Father and the holy angels.

Do we stand up for Jesus? Does the whole world know that we belong to and follow Jesus? What are we living for? If we are not living for Jesus and His kingdom, we are not His, and we will not enter heaven. Stand up for Jesus or He will deny you also.

May Jesus bless you.

FOR Jesus Christ

The words of Jesus are very clear. He said that :”He who is not FOR ME is against Me and He who does not gather WITH ME, scatters.” We cannot be NEUTRAL about Jesus Christ. If we are not living FOR Him and if we are not on fire for Him then we are not worthy of Him and He will vomit us out of His mouth.

Are you FOR Jesus or are you for yourself and for other things?

May Jesus bless you.
