"For I am not ashamed Of The Gospel Of Christ, For It Is The
Power Of God Unto Salvation to every one that believeth;
To the Jew first, and also To the Greek." (Romans_1:16)​

Precious friends, please be Very RICHLY Encouraged And Edified!:

"
...As history bears out, this is a remarkably accurate description of Alexander the
Great who was the mastermind behind the Grecian Empire. It is said that he would
have his armies march for days on end simply to surprise the enemy.

Interestingly, as Alexander was marching on Persia, it looked as if the great empire
was about to crumble, as it later did before his armies. There was a critical moment,
however, which nearly resulted in disaster. The army had taken spoils of silver, gold,
and other treasures in such quantities that the soldiers were literally weighed down
with them.

Alexander gathered all the treasures together in one great pile and set them on fire.
The soldiers were furious, but it was not long before they realized the wisdom of
their leader. It was as if wings had been given to them—they walked lightly again.
The campaign proceeded to victory.

Brethren, if we expect to have victory in our proclamation of the Gospel, we must
first relieve ourselves of the things of this world. They will weigh us down. A good
soldier of Jesus Christ must never entangle “himself with the affairs of this life;
that he may please Him Who Hath Chosen him to be a soldier” (II Tim. 2:4).

Armed with This Truth, we must also follow Paul who is the divine example
today of how to properly evangelize the lost to Christ.

God has promised to provide all of our needs according to the riches and glory that are in Christ Jesus.

It is a sad thing to see that some believers add GOD into their lives...when in fact the opposite is asked.

To experience victory in Christ and to experience success in the world is simply opposite of each other. The world is very demanding: :popularity, accumulating things, secular education, dedication to making money, and on and on. It is the world we are born into, and our flesh lusts after these things.

To live a victorious successful life of Christ requires a new birth, a birth of the spirit. Material things loose their allure, pleasing God becomes important and pleasing man isn't. We become wise in eternal things, not things that will disappear. Instead of beautiful houses and elegant cars we have joy, reality, peace, and love. Instead of a live that will end we have eternal life. We live in spiritual mansions forever.

Amen Sounds like the beginning of this chapter

“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.


Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: for which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: in the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:1, 3-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬
