WHAT SHOULD GUIDE AND INFORM THE WAY AND MANNER A TRUE CHRISTIAN THINKS, SPEAKS AND LIVES IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!
The Bible reveals thus:
This BOOK of the LAW shall not depart out of thy MOUTH; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest OBSERVE to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. (Joshua 1:8).
Therefore, Apostle Paul counselled thus:
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. (Philippians 4:8,9).
Only the Word of God in Christ is TRUE in this World.
Only the Word of God in Christ is HONEST in this World.
Only the Word of God in Christ is JUST in this World.
Only the Word of God in Christ is PURE in this World.
Only the Word of God in Christ is LOVELY in this World.
Only the Word of God in Christ is of GOOD REPORT in this World. This is why it is called GOOD NEWS.
Only the Word of God in Christ can truly and safely give you real peace, victory, success and satisfaction in this World. True!
Therefore, the Apostle Paul counselled you and I thus:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be NOT conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the RENEWING of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Romans 12:1,2;
Hebrews 12:1-3; Psalm 12:6; Psalm 119:140).
What information influence the way and manner, you think, speak and live in this World matter friend.
This is why the Bible reveals concerning THINKING in this World thus:
For as he THINKS in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. (Proverbs 23:7).
This is why Jesus Christ said concerning SPEAKING in this World thus:
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth SPEAKS. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. (Matthew 12:34).
This is why Apostle John said concerning LIVING in this World thus:
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides for ever. (1 John 2:15).
Furthermore, this is why the Apostle Paul said about WORKING in this World thus:
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that plants any thing, neither he that waters; but God that gives the increase. Now he that plants and he that waters are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. (1 Corinthians 3:6-15).
If truly, you are genuine follower of our Lord Jesus Christ (Christian) in this World, then:
1. The WRITTEN Word of God in the Bible inspired by the Holy Spirit through holy men should consciously and consistently guide and inform your thinking, speaking and living each day. (2 Peter 1:19-21; 2 Timothy 3:16,17).
2. The SPOKEN Word of God in your heart by the Holy Spirit within you should consciously and consistently guide and inform your thinking, speaking and living each day. (1 John 2:27; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18).
The Psalmist gave the different dimensions and outstanding qualities and characteristics of the WORD thus and the Word of God should be desire than any other thing in this World:
The LAW of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the TESTIMONY of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The STATUTES of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the COMMANDMENTS of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The FEAR of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the JUDGMENTS of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:7-14).
What guides and informs the way and manner you think, speak and live in Christ in this World? the same will determine how FAST and FAR you will go in this World on Earth now and in the World in Heaven someday. Take note, take heed! (Hebrews 12:1-4).
Jesus Christ said thus:
It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing: the WORDS that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE. (John 6: 63).
Also, Jesus Christ said thus:
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:31,32).
Know and note this that no other word in this World can give you the kind of Spirit and Life that the Word of God gives. This is because Jesus Christ is the one and only resurrection and life of God Himself in this World. Halleluyah!
The Bible reveals thus:
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house. Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Believest thou this? (John 11:20-26; John 10).
You shall rise up again to glory and to become a blessing by the resurrection and life power in the Word of God in Christ in Jesus name. (John 1:1-14). Believe it and say amen!
God bless you.
