  In our union with Christ Jesus he raised us up with him to rule with him in the heavenly world As soon as Jesus was baptized, he came up out of the water. Then heaven was opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down like a dove and alighting on him.Then a voice said from heaven, This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased. [Matthew3:16-17] First of all, Who is Christ Jesus?  Christ rules there above all heavenly rulers, authorities, powers and lords; he has a title superior to all titles of authority in this world and in the next. God put all things under Christ's feet and gave him to the church as supreme Lord over all things.[Ephesians1:21-22] Luke 3:22 and the Holy Spirit came down upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my own dear Son. I am pleased with you.” So What does our union with Christ Jesus look like?  Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! For in our union with Christ he has bl...

Who can understand the human heart? There is nothing else so deceitful; it is too sick to be healed. The Lord searches human minds and test human hearts. He treat each one according to the way he lives, according to what he does. Don't you understand that anything that goes into a person's mouth goes into his stomach and then comes out of his body but the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart and these are the things that make a person ritually unclean, for from his heart comes the evil ideas which lead him to kill, commit adultery and do other immoral things; to rob, lie, and slander others. Therefore, Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Try to learn what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the worthless things that people do, things that belong to the darkness. Instead, bring them out to the light. It is really too shameful even to talk about the things they do in secret. And when all things are brought out to the light...

When I consider thy heavens, the works of your fingers; the moon and the stars which thou has ordained. What is man that thou art mindful of him?

What is Backsliding?  Backsliding refers to a decline or regression in one's commitment, devotion, or adherence to a faith or religious principles. It implies moving away from a previously held spiritual position or moral standard. Backsliding is often discussed in the context of individuals who, after professing faith, experience a weakening of their religious convictions or engage in behaviors inconsistent with their religious beliefs. The concept is found in various religious traditions, including Christianity . The Bible provides several examples of individuals or groups backsliding. One notable example is the Israelites during their journey in the wilderness. Despite witnessing miracles and God's provision, they often turned away from Him, engaging in idolatry and disobedience. This is evident in episodes such as  The Golden Calf incident (Exodus 32:3-5)   “So all the people took off their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron; He took the earrings, melted them, po...

THEME  : For what seems to be God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and what seems to be God's weakness is stronger than human strength. 1Corinthians 1:25  EXAMPLE OF GOD’S WISDOM & STRENGTH  Examples highlighting how God's wisdom often operates in ways contrary to worldly wisdom, turning what seems foolish into avenues for divine purpose and understanding.

The crowd disperses, and Jesus, the only one without sin, does not condemn her but tells her to go and sin no more. (iii) The Pharisee and the Tax Collector (Luke 18:9-14);  Jesus tells a p...
