ENCOURAGEMENT TO CHRISTIANS TO KEEP ON KEEPING IN YOUR CHRISTIAN
LIFE.
(2 Timothy 3:14) But continue thou in the things
which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast
learned them;
1. WHEN FACING TRIALS IN CHRISTIAN LIFE KEEP ON PRAYING.
( Hebrews 4:16 ) Let us therefore come boldly unto
the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time
of need.
2. WHEN PERSECUTION COMES IN
CHRISTIAN LIFE KEEP ON FULLFILLING THE GREAT COMMISSION OF THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST.
( Acts 11:19-24 ) [19]Now they which were scattered
abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as
Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews
only.
[20]And some of them were men of
Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the
Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.
[21]And the hand of the Lord was
with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
[22]Then tidings of these things
came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth
Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
[23]Who, when he came, and had
seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of
heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
[24]For he was a good man, and
full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
3. WHEN THERE IS TROUBLES AND TRIBULATION COMES KEEP ON
TRUSTING GOD IN YOUR CHRISTIAN LIFE.
( II Corinthians
1:4-10 ) [4]Who
comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which
are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
[5]For as the sufferings of Christ
abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
[6]And whether we be afflicted, it
is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of
the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for
your consolation and salvation.
[7]And our hope of you is
stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be
also of the consolation.
[8]For we would not, brethren,
have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed
out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
[9]But we had the sentence of
death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which
raiseth the dead:
[10]Who delivered us from so great
a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
4. WHEN THE SPIRITUAL ENEMY ATTACT YOU KEEP YOURSELF TO
BE STRONG IN THE POWER OF THE LORD.
( Ephesians 6:10-14
) [10]Finally,
my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
[11]Put on the whole armour of
God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
[12]For we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
[13]Wherefore take unto you the
whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand.
[14]Stand therefore, having your
loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
5. WHEN CHRISTIANS ARE DOUBTING IN THEIR DIRECTION KEEP
ON DEFENDING IN THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR LIFE.
( John 16:13 ) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of
truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of
himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew
you things to come.
6. WHEN CHRISTIANS RECEIVED MANY TALENTS FROM THE LORD
KEEP ON SERVING GOD.
( Romans 12:6-11 ) [6]Having then gifts differing
according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy
according to the proportion of faith;
[7]Or ministry, let us wait on our
ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
[8]Or he that exhorteth, on
exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth,
with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
[9]Let love be without
dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
[10]Be kindly affectioned one to
another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
[11]Not slothful in business;
fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
7. WHEN CHRISTIANS RECEIVED MANY FINANCIAL BLESSINGS FROM
THE LORD KEEP ON GIVING TO GOD FAITHFULLY.
( Malachi 3:10-12 ) [10]Bring ye all the tithes into
the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now
herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of
heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive
it.
[11]And I will rebuke the devourer
for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither
shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of
hosts.
[12]And all nations shall call you
blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
8. WHEN CHRISTIANS KNOW THAT THE COMING OF THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST IS VERY SOON KEEP ON WAITING AND SERVING IN SERVING GOD.
( Matthew 24:45-47 )
[45]Who
then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his
household, to give them meat in due season?
[46]Blessed is that servant, whom
his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
[47]Verily I say unto you, That he
shall make him ruler over all his goods.
* ( Philippians
1:5-6 ) [5]For
your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
[6]Being confident of this very
thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the
day of Jesus Christ:
* God bless you all always *
