To Stop Sinning? 10 Amazing Ways to Cease Repeated Sin

To Stop Sinning? 10 Amazing Ways to Cease Repeated Sin

Sin is an output of disobedience, so to stop sinning means ability to resist temptation and the consistent obedience to the LORD’s commandment.

You might be so worried with many questions such as: Is it possible to be free from sin? Why can’t I stop sinning despite confessing Jesus as my Saviour? How can I stop this mess I hate doing? Don’t worry my friend, you’ll get the right answers now…

Today’s message explains the powerful steps to take for you to stop sinning.

The Plans of the Devil for Christians

I am given the authority by the Almighty LORD to tell you the truth about this topic and I owe no apology to the Devil or to all the popular false Prophets/Pastors in our midst.

1. The Devil does not want us to stop sinning.

2. He sent his servants to deceive us with false doctrines, for example; ‘we need to confess our sins every religious service days of the week for repeated forgiveness because our flesh can’t be holy’.

3. Satan is distracting our attention from the Mighty Power of the LORD through civilization and modernization.

4. He wants us to be lukewarm till the second coming of Jesus Christ so that the LORD can chase us out of His Beautiful Kingdom.

The LORD’s warning is clearly stated: “…So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.” (Revelation 3:16)

5. Just the way he was successful to deceive the Jews that the dead body of Jesus was stolen, a similar trend in our midst involves telling us lies that it is impossible to stop sinning but the grace of Jesus would take us to heaven.

6. The Devil is doing a great crusade to shift the faith of Christians from the word of GOD to leaders of the world, science, technological inventions and power of self.

Jesus’ prophecy about this modern generation is worrisome as recorded in the book of Luke chapter 18 verse 8: “…Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8)

7. If we all believe that to stop sinning is impossible then all names would be wiped off from the Book of Life which is the Devil’s greatest plan.

“And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” (Revelation 12:17)

The Plan of GOD for Everybody

The LORD wants us to stop sinning and His plan is to receive us into His Kingdom for eternal enjoyment. So, the Blood of Jesus is the last sacrifice that takes away the guilt from our lives provided we obey His commandments.

The LORD told me in a vision to tell everyone that He is ready to forgive you your sins, don’t bother about the size of the sin because He is ready to forgive you if you are ready to follow Him with all your heart.

10 Powerful Ways to Stop Sinning as a Christian

Don’t be discouraged if you find yourself stumbling into the sin you promised the LORD not to commit anymore. Tell the Devil you won’t be swayed by the wind of unbelief. Please follow the counsel below and you would have peace and permanent victory to stop sinning:

1. Pray for God’s Power

I wept bitterly one day during my prayers and the Holy Spirit told me: “You confessed the sin but didn’t ask for power to stop committing the sin”. I prayed for the Power and I received. Your power cannot stop you from sinning and if you are ready for the course of holiness, the LORD won’t delay to empower you.

2. Depart from Old Friends

You cannot stop sinning if you relate with people who does not live a righteous life.

3. Leave the Church

The gathering that preaches less about holiness or salvation is not for you. Churches that allow worldly styles is not fit for you.

4. Set Yourself for Absolute Sacrifice

Miracle cannot stop you from sinning. Your absolute readiness and preparedness to follow Jesus by denying yourself things of this world is vital for your victory.

5. Read and Understand the Bible

Gone are those day we read our Pastors. This time you read and understand the Word of GOD in the Bible through the help of the Holy Spirit. Misconception of the scriptures by false teachers had put many in the bondage of sin.

6. Don’t be Overconfidence

For instance; your faith in God does not give you the freedom to welcome your ex-girlfriend to your room – you can’t escape the sexual sin! So, don’t stay in an environment that can trigger your weakness. Destroy all the books, magazine, music or videos that could trigger you to sin.

7. Copy the Style of Jesus Christ

Sin does not come without temptation. So, when the rough times come, start singing songs of worship to the LORD or recite the bible verses you memorized. This step works for me perfectly every day.

8. Fellowship with GOD Regularly

This would give you spiritual growth and strength. Then you would receive power from the LORD regularly through His Holy Spirit. This was the secret of Jesus when He prays every night when on earth. No more excuse if you really want to stop sinning.

9. Love GOD with all Your Heart

If you build a loving relationship with the LORD (through obedience to all His instructions) then you would always overcome the Devil’s temptation.

10. To stop sinning is your Responsibility

It is not God’s role to come down from heaven to collect the bottle of beer or the drug syringes from you. It is not His duty to chase out the sexual partner or to twist your tongue from lies and other similar acts you might carelessly do every day.

Always remember that it is your responsibility to follow His plan of Salvation for your freedom from sins.

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” (Romans 6:1-2)

 

To stop sinning I recommend you follow the steps above and I assure you that no more repeated sins could hurt you. Your freedom from the stronghold of sin would be absolute in Jesus’ name.

Memorize Bible: 20 Ways to Learn Scriptures by Heart!

Memorize Bible: 20 Ways to Learn Scriptures by Heart!

To memorize Bible means quoting the word of God for the benefit of yourself or people around you without opening the Bible.

This powerful act does not have a thumb rule on how to learn it perfectly because our ability to memorize bible is not the same. But today’s message highlights many practical steps that could help you learn scriptures by heart. I would also share the powerful benefits with you!

I would love to share the testimony of Rebecca Moffitt related to memorizing the Bible:

“The miracle is what happened (and is still happening) in my mind. It’s like the links of my chains began to fall off, one at a time. Where I used to worry, I have peace. Previously I used to be suspicious, but now I have certainty that all is well. Before, I used to dwell on my stronghold, but now forget to think about it.

Verses like, “…But each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed,” (that was me!) and, “…Humbly accept the word planted in you which can save you,” began living and working within me!

I have an amazing new weapon in this battle. The memorization worked to occupy my mind when I replaced those negative thoughts with my daily scripture.  James says, “…Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin…” 

Well, desire didn’t have a chance to conceive when I had my weapon, “The Sword of The Spirit,” at hand and was willing to use it. I’m an analyser (can’t you tell?) so I don’t want to overanalyse how this process began freeing me in a way I’ve never been free before, but God was answering my prayer and showing me the power of “His perfect word that gives freedom.” “ 

20 Helpful Steps to Memorize Bible Verses!

1. Have confidence that your memory size of about 2.5 million gigabytes can store the verses you intend to keep.

2. Pray to the LORD to Bless your efforts.

3. Start memorization with short verses.

4. Memorize Bible verses that are relevant to what you are going through now.

5. Write down the verses many times until you miss no word anymore.

8. Paste the memory verses on the wall, in your car, laundry, computer background and put the cards in your pocket.

9. If you are talented in music then memorize the scriptural verses by singing it.

10. If you choose to memorize bible verses thirty minutes daily, then do it in a quiet place without any form of distraction.

11. Understand the context and content of the bible verses. So, check dictionary or commentaries if necessary.

12. Start memorization of the keywords in the bible verse and very soon the complete verse would be stored properly to your brain.

13. Avoid stress and anxiety. You can’t easily remember your memory verses if you are tensed.

14. Long verse is best memorized bit by bit.

15. Listen to the audio bible of the verses often and it would help you speed up memorization.

16. The use of good Bible memory app can help you memorize bible verses easily.

17. Read the verse aloud twenty times, then speak the verse from memory ten times. And repeat process for fifteen minutes.

18. Envision the bible verses you want to memorize in your mind. The visual capture in your heart is a powerful feature.

19. Memorize Bible verses with your people at the family altar.

20. Review every memorized scripture once in a while.

10 Benefits of Bible Memorization

1. It gives you victorious response to evil thoughts that troubles your heart.

2. You would have boldness to respond to misleading arguments by false pastors, fake prophets, atheists and new age movement.

10. Scriptural memorization speeds up your spiritual maturity.

It is a wise action to memorize Bible verses, so I recommend the steps above. Choose the ones that suits you and repeat the process regularly.

I would love to say at this point that I don’t dispute the fact that there are some cases where the Holy Spirit could help you remember the scriptures without your effort of memorization.

Please, this act is not meant for show-off or to impress anyone. Scriptural memorization is to help you and your neighbour for the glory of the LORD.

God’s Desire: 7 Steps to Know God’s Plan for Your Life

God’s Desire: 7 Steps to Know God’s Plan for Your Life

Not knowing God’s desire for one’s life may look like a pilot in the air without a clear signal from the tower control team.

The knowledge of God’s desire for your life would help you achieve great targets and it avoids wasting of precious time. Today’s message highlights the simple steps to take to know God’s will for your life every day.

7 Powerful Steps to Know God’s desire for Your Life

1. Do a thorough Reconciliation with the LORD

You won’t get a clear signal from the LORD if your life has one or two active sins around. Shed all the sinful weight through the Blood of Jesus and you would understand God’s desire.

2. Readiness to Release Your Desires

From my experience with the LORD, His wonderful will for me is not always the same design with my personal desires. If you want to understand God’s plan then drop your personal wishes.

3. Build Relationship with the LORD

Fall in love with the commandments of God given through Jesus Christ. Don’t consider God to be a faraway Giver or a Sunday service Coordinator. Love Him every day with all your heart and you would know God’s will for you.

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said to him,” ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” (Matthew 22:36-37)

4. Faithful Prayers Reveals God’s Will

List your requests before the LORD and ask for His direction. Do this with a heart full of faith and in an environment free of distraction. You may not hear from the LORD if your heart is full of bias.

5. Biblical Meditation is a Top Secret

The word of GOD in the Bible is perfect for all circumstances in life. Read and digest in a quiet atmosphere. The Holy Spirit in you would minister God’s desire related to the issue you are going through.

6. Have zero tolerance for Disobedience

GOD does not reveal His plan to a child that loves disobedience. Obey His will today and He reveals another plan to you tomorrow. The LORD can reveal the future to you if you are a trusted and obedient child.

7. Wait Patiently

GOD is neither a robot nor a magician but He is Sovereign. If you follow the steps above and no instant response, then wait patiently with a trustful heart because He might want to test your sincerity. The LORD would surely respond!

The knowledge of God’s desire for your life can be discovered through obedience, holiness and patience. Stay calm in the LORD and don’t be distracted by the false prophet around you. God Bless you.

Meditation: How Christians Should Set their Mind!

Meditation: How Christians Should Set their Mind!

Meditation is good but how you do it determines if it is for GOD’s glory or Devil’s excitement. Christian meditation involves given your sense of thought to the Holy Spirit to unveil spiritual understanding about the word of God and issues of life to you.

Statistics captured from Compare-camp showed that the number of people who practice meditation globally is estimated at 200 to 500 million. But how much of this is done rightly?

According to the survey by Pew Research Centre, the frequency of meditation among Christian (at least once a week) is 45%.

Today’s message explains the dangerous model of meditation and the right path to a fruitful meditation.

What Does it Mean to Meditate?

There are various definitions for this topic by many such as; the Buddhist, New Age movement and health experts. But the common phrase in all definition is the ‘control of the mind’.

Meditation is the act of making your mind to control your spirit and body to achieve a fruitful goal. The power of meditation is massive to your personality, so you have to make sure that the spirit controlling your meditation is Holy and not the demonic one.

6 Major Types of Meditation

I recommend only the Christian meditation as described in the Bible. It has all the benefits you care to enjoy. Scriptural mind-control is the safest! Some meditates include:

1. Spiritual Meditation

It is done among the eastern religions. The use of oils, myrrh and frankincense is not left out.

2. Mantra Meditation

Common among the Buddhist. They use a repetitive word or sound to blank the mind.

3. Focused Meditation

It involves using any of the five senses to concentrate on your internal act such as your breath. You might not know about this until you see your friend staring at a candle flame in silence…

5. Transcendental Meditation 

It is rooted in Hinduism. The occult practice involves silent use of mantra while sitting with the eyes closed. It takes the soul to a spiritual realm.

6. Mindfulness Meditation

This practice is common in the western world though it originates from the Buddhist. It involves paying attention to thoughts without judging or contribution.

7. Movement Meditation

The mind is allowed to wander during yoga, gardening or walking through the silent path.

7 Best Ways to Meditate as a Christian!

It is not a sin to meditate because it was the LORD’s recommendation to His faithful servants.

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” (Joshua 1:8)

How to mediate include:

1. Build your faith to take you to the conscious status that the presence of the LORD is with you.

2. Your Mental consciousness must be active and not passive.

3. Christian meditation is done with your mind filled with God’s word and not emptying the mind to state of blankness.

4. You start and end this process with recitation of concerned scriptural verses.

5. To mediate means to listen carefully to the LORD, so choose a silent place.

6. Reflect on the mighty deeds of the LORD and you’ll get a clearer picture of any confusing issue. (Psalm 63:6)

7. Don’t give yourself to deep thought of identifying your inner glory to avoid self-appraisal, but dip your thoughts into God’s revelation through the scriptures.

Better Positions for Meditation

There is no thumb law on the best position to meditate. I could share from my experience that it is best done in a posture that relax your muscles. Positions not limited to; kneeling, sitting, lying or walking.

The best place to meditate is a noiseless area close to nature. You can practice meditation anytime of the day. The LORD advised Joshua to do it both day and night.

Put off your phones and tablets and the only tool needed is your Bible.

10 Benefits of Christian Meditation

1. Close communion with the Holy Spirit

2. You would know God’s voice

3. Renewal of your mind is always guaranteed (Romans 12:2)

4. Acquisition of divine power

5. Your spirit being becomes stronger

6. Nothing happens to you unaware

7. You would see vision and dream dreams

8. Healing and Blessings is certain

9. Devil can’t win any temptation he throws at you

10. Your salvation and relationship with GOD would be consistent forever!

Godly meditation involves the use of scriptures to fill your mind and patiently wait to see how the Holy Spirit would communicate and open your eyes to see and understand the secret of success.

You cannot survive this life without meditation through Jesus Christ, so meditate on the word of Jehovah daily and He would reveal Himself to you in Jesus name.
