It's a personal relationship

Job 2:9 AMPC

[9]  Then his wife said to him, Do you still hold fast your blameless uprightness? Renounce God and die!

Job's wife didn't know how deep his husband was with his God that's why he made such a statement.

Job's relationship with God was personal. God relates with us on a personal basis. Get to know Him intimately and deeply. When you do, you won't be diverted by the people who will attempt to distract you from your right course.

Adam in the beginning fell into his wife's temptation. Samson too. Jesus didn't. Other men of God fell because they gave heed to contradictory messages from others. 

But for you not to be tempted by others, you need to be firmly rooted in your beliefs. Above all settle it in your heart early beforehand that you won't give heed regardless whether it came from the closest person known to you. Be ready to offend others because you have held tight to your beliefs. Some give in to  please the other person yet they are in disobedience. You will help them better id you obeyed rather than flowing with the currents. 

Had Job submitted to his wife's suggestion, he would have missed the reward. Joseph too did not give up on his dreams. That caused him a lot of hardship which he later overcame and in the end the very brothers against his dreams were saved by him. 

Child of God, no one was there when God spoke to you about a certain matter. And no one will value the Word gave you like you do. For that matter don't try to seek men's approval especially in your core beliefs. Stick to your beliefs no matter what.

Justified by faith

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: God has made us right with Himself. This is extremely good news because we could not measure up to His standard of righteousness portrayed by the law.  Most religions including some who profess Christianity advocate for a "do right and be right with God" kind of relating with God. This puts the burden of salvation upon the performance of the adherents to such religions. On the other hand true Bible faith, says believe right and then be made right with God independent of your actions. All this is because of God's goodness who wants all to be saved whether they have any previous morally good life or not. If you really get a revelation of this you would burst for joy and rejoice in what God has made you instead of what you can do for Him, hallelujah! It all starts with faith. If you believe you are justified or are forever made just before him, it affects your life in a certa...

When a heart(soul) heals

Many hearts are wounded, broken, sick, depressed, bleeding but when the heart of a man heals, they start to live again. That man starts to blossom, to dream again, to shine brighter and to love again. Psalm 34:18, But the Lord is close to the broken hearts, to the wounded, frustrated ones, He is always there. Surprisingly many people are broken hearted and they don't know what to do. Because of the failure they have experienced before, they face shame and as a result they choose to hide themselves. Some end up committing suicide since they feel hopeless and their dreams beyond reach.  If you happen to be in this situation first and foremost you need to forgive yourself, release that anger and let go of the past. Secondly you need revelation of your identity in Christ. If you aren't born again, you need to first surrender to Jesus as Lord. God is more willing to heal your heart(soul) and your story than you do. All He needs is our consent and cooperation. Let go and let God.  T...

A year of good things

Image
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Years represent new seasons. Every season God has a specific word for us His children that we need to run with. When we run the year based on that Word, our results will be evident. In this season as the Streams of life and Nations churches God gave us a word through our Father Bishop Gerald Mwebe that we are going to have good things.  Last year 2025, was a year of great grace. This year God prophetically is giving us good things. One of the good things He has already given us is the gospel. The gospel is the message we preach and live by. We need to realise as believers that we have a message which will touch lives not only in this world but for eternity. The gospel is not only for non believers but for nonbelievers also. Many believers all they hear are the curses that follow them from the past generations....
