Be strong in your salvation

"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.”

1 Corinthians 16:13

Those of us who have been believers for a while know that the journey of salvation though wonderful, is not easy, especially for those who are not yet mature enough to crucify their flesh every day. The world is full of temptation and our flesh too with its lusts does not help.

Scripture tells us to be strong in our salvation by crucifying our flesh daily and taking up our crosses to follow the Lord Jesus. We have to fill up with the word and pursue him earnestly. Let us remember that however smart we think we are, the devil is smarter. He has been around since the beginning of time and he has made many fall. As the accuser of the brethren, Satan is also familiar with the law which the bible calls the ministry of death and he uses this and demonic doorways rooted in generational curses as well as those we have opened ourselves to torment us. Pursue your intimacy with God, only He can show you how to escape the carefully placed and cleverly camouflaged traps of the devil.

Root yourself in the word and make it your reality today. Be strong in your salvation walk and realize that you have a real enemy who is working tirelessly to torment you; he is not about to let you enjoy your salvation. Leave behind the distractions of the world and focus on Jesus who took our curses, our sins and our diseases. He loves us so much and only by having faith in him and obeying his word can we be strong.
