Send us a textIn Matthew 13: 44-46 our Lord told us about the greatest treasure a man could possess; the grace of God in Jesus Christ our Saviour. Most people in the world are caught up with wanting to become someone successful, prosperous, powerful, noted, admired and important.  Sadly, many perish in that vain pursuit, and many die trying.  The majority never really find what they set out to achieve, and those who do soon learn there is no satisfaction or contentment for their souls in their great achievements.  But God's hidden treasure that is not actually hidden, of inestimable value, costs us nothing, brings us peace and joy, contentment, and spiritual riches that cannot be quantified. Life in Christ Jesus, which is citizenship of the Kingdom of God, is only received in our most humble circumstance; when we realise how sinful, poor, wretched and hopeless we are apart from Christ.There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

Send us a textRomans 12: 1-2 instructs us on what is the reverent worship of God. True worship does not consist only in the gathering of the saints, but is primarily a personal devotion to the Lord and His Word in our individual lives. God must be the centre of our lives whether we are alone or in the company of other saints. Our love for God because of His love for us must be the sermon we preach to a perishing world about the wonderful salvation that is in Christ Jesus our Lord alone; this should be evidenced in our character.There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

He came to be the Way for man to regain fellowship with God the Father, to pay for the sins of man, inherited and acquired. He offered Himself as a living sacrifice unto death, crucified on the cross and bled to death; He took our place on that cross, that we may be forgiven and walk free of any charge, to live with Him eternally. He was buried and resurrected to live again for ever, in fulfilment of His own words. All this was to give us abundant life forever; it was a selfless act of utmost LOVE.Christ Jesus died for our sins, it is in Him that we are forgiven and consecrated unto the eternal Father, the ancient of days. Because of His amazing grace and love we are the children of God, born again by His Spirit who lives in us and directs us as light in a world of darkness.  Because of the love of God for us we can walk triumphantly in peace and joy in a traumatised world.What have you done with God's costliest gift to sinful mankind, the Lord Jesus Christ? There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

Send us a textWe have been witnessing pockets of disasters across the world; famine, wild fires, floodings, wars, earthquakes, tsunamis, pandemics, etc.  These calamities trouble the world and governments rally around to proffer solutions, often unsuccessfully.  There is scurrying around to find ways of solving the problems and preventing them in the future; nothing has yet succeeded.  Sadly, none of the leaders of society are looking upward in the direction of the sovereign Creator, who alone can bring or stop the disasters upon a sinful world.Scriptures are clear about God's wrath and judgement.  Scriptures are also as clear about God's love, mercy and grace, already expended on mankind in the gift of His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.  The world is under the wrath of God, yet all we witness today are mere snippets of what is to come on a global scale.There is only one way out of the wrath of God whose judgement is pure, holy, and justified; the Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ.There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

Send us a textThe world, or most of it, comes to a peculiar standstill three times every year; Christmas, Good Friday and Easter (Sunday, with Monday in lieu).  Not many people stop to think why this is so for a Saviour who is widely acknowledged as irrelevant, a lie, a simply nice man, a regular religious teacher, or any other way the unbelieving heart considers the Lord of life.  Yet, the Lord shows His sovereignty on those days when people are generally pulled out of their usual hustle and bustle, and those who must work are generally paid at a premium to work on those important days.  In this we see God showing His might over His creation, but most people do not understand; they just love the free holidays.  But a day is coming for every person who has walked this earth to either rejoice in, or regret what they did with those days when they had breath in the world.There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

Send us a Text Message.Self-acclaimed servants of God today have come up with many schemes, that they describe as some gospel or the other.  These ungodly messages from the very pits of hell do nothing but enslave hearers and lead them into idolatry.  The eventual outcome of this for anyone who does not repent, is ultimate separation from God, the second death, and a eternal condemnation to hell.There is only one Gospel that saves.  We believe God, repent of our sins, submit ourselves to Christ the Saviour, we are forgiven and saved by Him.  From the moment of our conversion we begin to walk in obedience to Christ, and He looks after every other area of our physical existence.  We do not need 'gospels' about money, marriage, child-bearing, deliverance from demons, etc., they are a lie.There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

As Christians we are called to a life of discomfort and war, in a world that loves its sin.  Satan's purpose is to destabilise our walk of faith, make us doubt God and even forsake the Lord, when tough times hit us, as they undoubtedly will.The teachings of the holy sriptures are clear, we must persevere, endure and be patient daily as Christians.  Sadly this is not the message on most pulpits in this age, and people are falsely taught that suffering must not be part of the Christian life.  As such, many claim they are Christians when they are truly not, and when trials come they fail in their faith.There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

In this first chapter of the excellent epistle to the Colossians, Paul commends them for their humble and pure-hearted acceptance of the simple but powerful, life-saving Gospel of Christ Jesus.  Pulpits and platforms today are inundated with disgusting, ridiculous and blasphemous teachings that can only lead their hearers to eternal hell.  Sadly the followers of these false teachers love the deception they hear and would generally shut their ears against God's truth.  They are enticed and seduced into false worship and eternal hell, as they worship their leaders and teachers, putting them in the place of God.There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

This study of verses from Chapter 2 of Paul's epistle to the Colossians, highlights the importance of Christ-centred life of worship, rather than the cold, vain practice of religion. There are many unbiblical imposed rules and regulations surrrounding some brands of Christianity today that simply do not impress our Saviour, not do they make our worship acceptable to Him.We must worship in Spirit and in truth, and this is what these bible verses teach us.There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

A good number of professing Christians would resist biblical correction, conviction of sin and even a brotherly pointing out of their error.  Their excuse? We are not to judge because only God knows who His true worshippers are!  If we love our sin, we would believe that, because the inerrant Word of God, the Holy Bible is very clear as to who the children of God are who will be the inheritors of God's holy kingdom.  A Christian who resists biblical correction or a brother pointing out their sin, should examine whether they are truly in the faith.There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

There is an ever-increasing number of church groups everywhere today, across the world, with particular emphasis on Africa.  Ordinarily this should be seen as a good thing, because it should indicate a growing number of believers whose spiritual needs the Church is supposed to be meeting.  Sadly this is not the case, but the trend is very worrisome and evidences a severe attack of the enemy on the Church of Christ, as the majority of these church groups are set up and run by individual and groups of servants of darkness masquerading as servants of light.The bizarre characters presenting themselves as pastors and prophets, male and female, these days, is a cause for alarm for the Church of Christ.  The world sees all these demonised characters as representatives of the Church of Christ when they are nothing but envoys of Satan sent to bring the Way of truth into disrepute.  The impostors are not a part of us, and we all as faithful members of God's Church, rise up and reject these people by holding them up the the holy Scriptures, refuting their teachings, exposing their demonic practices and encouring the unsuspecting followers to reject them.The days are very dark and evil, we must rescue as many victims as we can!There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

Many so-called churches, more than likely copycats of the Roman Catholic sect, indulge in the worship of angels.  This is not scriptural practice and is definitely offensive to God, who only must be worshipped.  The holy Scriptures informs us of angels, their existence, and duties before God.  They are not for humans to interact with in worship or  errands, and they certainly DO NOT listen to or take orders from humans!There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

It is the Christmas season of year 2023, as we count years on earth.  Faithful believers will be celebrating the most amazing thing that almighty God did for humanity 2023 years ago.  Most of the world will shut down from labours on the day acknowledged by believers as Christmas Day, not indicating the day of the birth of our wonderful Lord, but a specifically appointed day to celebrate the fact of His advent.  The question is will everyone enjoying the free holiday and celebrations be celebrating for the right reason, or just foolishly, not knowing the reason for the season?There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

Many people, believers and unbelievers alike celebrate Christmas across the world.  A lot of these celebrations have nothing to do with Christ or His salvation.  As faithful believers rejoice in what the Lord has done for them, in forgiving their sins, reconciling them to God, and granting them salvation, and a new life in Christ Jesus, other celebrate what they do not know.Does everyone have the right to celebrate Christmas, is it just a season of baseless celebration and frivolities? Or should Christmas be a time of reflection and sobriety?There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

Our loving Saviour promised not to leave us as orphans.  Indeed He perfected our adoption as children of the Father on the cross at Calvary when He fully paid for our sins in death.  Knowing full well that He was going to perfect our salvation by His death on the cross, He prayed to the Father on our behalf just before He was arrested to be killed.  We should reflect on this prayer and strive to live under that blessing.  Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ!There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

People spend a lot of time preparing for all kinds of occasions, and there is nothing wrong with that.  However, many neglect the most important preparation for the greatest occasion of all; the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, or our being called out of the world to stand before God's throne, in death.  It is tragic that even most professing Christians would rather not hear or discuss this very purpose for living, they're busy loving the world they would rather not give a thought to leaving it. What then have they believed?There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

Our wonderful and glorious Lord, in readiness to pay the price for all our sins in order that we may be forgiven and reconciled with God the Father, prayed for our sustenance.  His prayer was for our empowerment to live the new life He was going to rebirth us into, and remain in it.  His death on the cross at Calvary would birth a new generation of grateful, righteous and holy nation; the children of God.  Christ knew that we cannot live that new life in our own strength, so He prayed the Father on our behalf.A wonderful prayer session that bares out the heart of our wonderful Saviour and Lord; how blessed we are!There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

Various messages are heard today off pulpits, claiming to be evangelism.  People being invited to Christ for financial breakthrough, healing, miracles, finding marriage partners, and all kinds of sensations.  The only true reason anyone should be invited to Christ Jesus is for the forgiveness of sin, in repentance; that is the message of the Gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ.  We are all by detault enemies of God because of our sinfulness, and without forgiveness in Christ our Lord, we will perish in our sins and be condemned to hell fire at the end of our time on earth,An unrepentant person who has not come to life in Christ through repentance and His forgiveness is deluded to think they are Christian.There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

The primary purpose of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever; this cannot be done on a deathbed.  Most people in the world, and in time every person in the world, would have had an opportunity to hear the message of the Gospel of salvation in Christ Jesus.  This amazing salvation is God's offer of reconciliation to undeserving sinners that we are, and it is free!  Personal selfish ambition and the love of sin keeps most people from receiving this gift of grace from an immeasurably loving and merciful God, who gave His only begotten Son to be the propitiation for our sins.  It cost Christ Jesus His blood to earn our pardon.It is delusion and deceptive to think that we can be obstinate towards the holy God all the days of our lives when we could have loved and honour Him, and be led to some vain confession of Christ as Saviour when we're about to face death and judgement.  At the time we have our faculties, the health and vigour He provides, is when we can honour Him as Saviour, having repented, and Lord, spending all the rest of our life bringing glory to the Father and the Son, being in submission to the Holy Spirit.  We cannot deceive God and feign some cheap salvation because we face certain death and judgement!There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

The world is full of too many deluded Christians who think they belong to Christ when their very lives deny any knowledge of Him,  Africans in particular have designed all kinds Christianity brands to suit their sinful and self-seeking personalities; this totally denies Christ.  Most have denied the Lordship of Christ Jesus, the only Saviour and Lord, to adopt the arm of flesh in their sinful, greedy and demon-infested leaders as lords, fathers and mothers; all roads lead to hell, shame!  No one who has not repented from and hates sin has ANY right to call themselves Christian.There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

Some believers wonder why they suffer while many unbelievers seem to prosper.  The Scriptures teach us very plainly that worldly success is only as useful as a person is in the world, and as many of the rich and successful in the world have ironically discovered, it does not guarantee happiness or peace.  Believers are prosperous beyond human comprehension; being children of the sovereign God, having the abundance of the Kingdom of God as their inheritance, and in this world enjoying peace with God and joy.  What we have in Christ Jesus cannot be measured in material terms; let us rejoice and be glad!There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

Our call to faith in God through Christ Jesus is misunderstood by many.  We are not just called to be church attenders, who follow the routine of a religious practice.  We are called to come out of the world and its sin and darkness, into God's own light and righteousness.  This call will not gain us acceptance in a corrupt and God-hating world, but we will be despised just as our Lord was despised.We need to prepare our minds for this, and it can be rather daunting, but our Lord Himself holds us up through all our travails and gives us the strength, power and will to succeed.  God has called us to be His own people!There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

We are Christians, who claim to believe the Gospel of the Lord, Jesus Christ, unto salvation.  We say we trust Him in all things and for all things, we live for Him.  But many set their minds on worldly expectations in spite of this confession.  When such needs are not met according to 'their' expectations, they begin to doubt God and His Word.Is there any merit to such belief system, or do some professing Christians simply don't understand the faith they profess?There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

God is sovereign over all the earth and in the heavens.  When we understand this fact, we will not be anxious about any situation we experience in the world, but rather persevere in prayer and praise, trusting in God.  False teachings in this age continue to make restless professing believers; which is a contradiction in terms, as one has to wonder what it is they have believed.Trust in God gives abundant peace and joy, in every and any situation.  This is how true believers live and thrive in a world full of troubles.There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

It is most heartbreaking hearing God blasphemed by professing Christians in this age.  False teachers and self-appointed servants are given to pronouncing lies and sinful teachings in the hallowed Name of the Lord; their followers are barking orders irreverently at God in the vain practice of what they consider to be prayers.The Lord is the high eternal One, before whom every knee must bow; nobody can tell God what to do!  A fruitful prayer life consists of a humble and reverent communication with God, from a heart full of love for Him and lips filled with praise.  We will do well to hear what God says of Himself as He reveals His own Person to us in the holy scriptures, and honour Him accordingly.There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

As believers we affirm that Almighty God is our Father, and that is who He is! Does that however, mean we should set unrealistic carnal desires before us and expect God to accede to all our requests?  Is Christianity as cheap as confessing Jesus Christ as Lord and then living selfishly? We are saved by grace, and our salvation is free, fully paid for by the Christ's death on the cross .  We are expected to make personal sacrifices towards holiness and righteousness; Christlikeness, to identify with the Lord we profess.There is only ONE way to be a Christian!
