Evang Ps. Kenneth Nandoha
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
1 Peter 3:15-17
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
There is also an antitype which now saves us–baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.
Look and listen carefully, there’s no angel’s that is above Christ, no inclusive of the devil and all this defiant angel, there no authority that is above the authority of Christ and there’s no power’s that is above the power of Christ, for all are subject to Christ Jesus. Woooo if you understand it say a loud Amen wherever you are right now.
Always have the Lord’s name ready to tell others your reasons for hope. Always. However, it is important to remember what the Bible tells us in James 4:10 : “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. ” Do not use the Lord’s name with arrogance or aggression. Be meek and gentle when using his name, as the Lord did when he sent Jesus Christ to earth.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, I have turned my back on you many times. I forget my reason for living and sometimes claim other secular things are my true calling. It is wrong of me; forgive me for these sins, merciful God! You shall be my only answer when people ask my reason for being, for being hopeful, for loving. I pray this in accordance with what you have taught me Lord, my strength and hope in all things. Amen.
