Elected and Cannot Be Eliminated One of the most favorite chapters of the bible among Christ believers is Romans 8. In this chapter, Apostle Paul unloads his gun and shatters all arguments under heaven and earth against God and His people. This chapter also contains what I call the essential vitamins for the Christian life. It contains all the essential vitamins, A, B C, (the sweet ones) and then some bitter ones like iron, zinc, T, D, P, F, N, P2, S (Tribulation, Distress, Persecution, Famine, Nakedness ,Peril and sword). God uses all to conform His “Elect” to the likeness or image of Christ. Let’s look at some of these passages. Romans 8. 1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus 18I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 26In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that w

What Do You Call God? I have heard many a times where people refer to God as the “man upstairs”. Some people just call Him God and never refer to Him by any other name. What do you call Him? Let’s read Romans 8. Romans 8: 10-17 10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you. 12Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation—but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. 13For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, 14because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.[g] And by him we cry, "Abba,[h] F

Please God in 2008 What is your goal for this New Year 2008? My aim and goal is to please God in 2008 and not be a people please r. In other words, my purpose for this year is to bring pleasure to God my Lord. I am determined to make this my one and only purpose for 2008. How about you? The question then is how will I please God in 2008? Asked differently, how will I not please God in 2008? Let’s read in Romans 8. Romans 8:5-11 5Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6The mind of sinful man[e] is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; 7the sinful mind[f] is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. 8Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God. 9You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyon
