My brothers and sisters in Christ, I want to encourage you this morning to joyfully enlist in the Lord’s army, for around His standard ranging, victory is secure, and His truth unchanging makes the triumph sure. If we are in the service royal, let us not grow cold; let us be right loyal, noble, true and bold, for our Master, Thou wilt keep us, by Thy grace divine, always on the Lord’s side—Savior, always Thine. Amen!

When we are walking in the fruit of the spirit, we diligently practice the fruit of the Spirit, by showing love, by being peaceful, by being joyful, being long-suffering, kind and good, being faithful always in humility and self-control. We should not become conceited, provoking one another or envying one another. Let us crucify the flesh with its sinful passions and desires. Help us Lord!

My brothers and sisters in Christ, I don’t know about you, but, Jesus is the Lilly of my deepest valley, and my bright and morning star “Jesus is all the world to me, my life, my joy, my all. He is my friend from day to day, without him, I would fall. When I am sad to him I go, no other one can cheer me so. When I am sad, he makes me glad, he’s my friend.” Thank you, Lord for being my friend. He could be yours too.

For too long we have allowed the enemy to control us, to convince us to walk contrary to God’s will for us, but, the time has come for us to stand up and fight the good fight, the time has come for us to cast all of our cares on the Lord, to trust him to lead us in the right paths and to allow him to reveal to us his marvelous light. Praise the Lord!

Whatever you are going through, be of good courage for God will strengthen your heart, God’s grace will be sufficient for you in any situation. So do not worry about the messengers Satan sends to buffet you, the thorn in the flesh given to you, for God is bigger than any obstacle that you will face, God’s grace is sufficient for you. Keep the faith!

My brothers and sisters in Christ, it is not an easy walk that we walk with God, but we should strive to walk by faith and not by sight, we should trust God to lead us in the paths of righteousness, so that we would be able to do all that he requires of us. Every day is a challenge, every day, situations confronts us so that we would be tested, to see how faithful we are to God, and many times we fail, but we are committed to abiding in the tent of the Lord, and therefore, we will aim to walk with integrity, and to do works of righteousness and even though we may stumble, as long as we are trusting in God, his right hand will hold us up, so that we may be able to abide in his tent and dwell in his tabernacle, all the days of our lives.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. To fear the Lord does not mean that you should be afraid of Him, but that you should reverence Him, and serve Him faithfully in spirit and in truth. When we meditate on God’s words we grow spiritually, it revives the soul and rejoices the heart. When we carefully observe the statutes of the Lord and keep them, our reward is great. Praise the Lord!

My brothers and sisters in Christ, the world and all that is in it, is passing away, you could live without it all, but, you cannot live without God. Therefore, forsake everything and anything for a life with Christ, because if you have Jesus, you have everything.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, God saved you and I for his own purpose. The enemy will try to lead us back to the paths of sin we once tread, but know that he is a deceiver, all that the world offers will not last, but travel on with God before you, listen to the sound that saved you, the voice that whispered, “Child come home.”

Know that, they that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint, so teach us Lord, to patiently wait on you for the desires of our hearts.
