NO ONE CAN REPLACE JESUS



1 Corinthians 3:11 GNT says, “For God has already placed Jesus Christ as the one and only foundation, and no other foundation can be laid.” 


This means Jesus is the unshakable ground upon which our faith and life must stand. Everything in the Christian life must rest on Him, not on any man, system, or religion. When you build your life on Jesus, you build on eternal truth, not on temporary human strength. He is the solid rock that can never fail, the cornerstone of all true spiritual growth.


No one can replace Jesus in your life. Not your mentor, not your father or mother, not even your spiritual leader. What mentors do is to help you grow, teach you, and guide you to know Christ more. They are not your foundation, they are builders who work upon the foundation that is already laid, which is Jesus Christ.


If Christ is your foundation, you will not be shaken or moved. Many people fall and get destroyed because they depend on people, and people change, fail, and even perish. When your hope is in man, disappointment becomes your portion, but when Christ is your anchor, stability becomes your portion.


Many have lost their faith because their mentors or spiritual leaders failed them. When their leaders fell from the truth, they also fell with them because they were built on men instead of Christ. True leaders and mentors do not build people on themselves or on church doctrines; they build them on Jesus, the only strong foundation.


Ask yourself these questions: Is my mentor building me on Christ or on himself? Am I depending on Christ or people? Who is my source of encouragement and hope? Who am I truly depending on? Christ or a person? Make a wise decision today to find someone who will help you be established in Christ and strengthen your personal relationship with Him. Do not relate to Jesus through another person. Know Him personally.


A true mentor helps you grow to stand strong in faith even when he is not around. Christ is enough for you. He is your all in all. You have no other foundation but Him.


Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me build my life only on You, the strong foundation that never fails or changes. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
