The Importance of Prayer.

The measure of a true servant of God is not how many battles they win in their own power, but how many battles they surrender to God. Oftentimes, we lose the battle because we fail to seek God's guidance or attempt to fight it alone. Those who spend time in prayer daily are stronger than any swordsmen on the battlefield. It's crucial to understand that God is a warrior, and when we allow Him to fight our battles, we can rest in His strength. 

So, let us remember that prayer is our most powerful weapon, and our first course of action each morning. We need to open our hearts to God and share everything with Him, holding nothing back. By doing so, we allow God to take control and fight our battles for us. As children of God, let us start every day with prayer, seeking His direction in all that we do.

Christianity in view of secularism.

The essence of Christianity is not about what we do for God but what God has done for us. Religion emphasizes our efforts to please God, while Christianity acknowledges that God has given us everything and we respond to Him out of love and gratitude. We love God because He first loved us, and we surrender our lives to Him because He has given us everything.

The Christian life is not a destination but a journey of transformation. We don't strive to become Christians; rather, we become Christians through the transformation that happens inside us when we receive the Holy Spirit. We cannot become Christians by our own efforts, but only through faith in Jesus Christ's sacrificial work.

The process of sanctification, where God makes us Christlike, is a work that only He can do. It's not something that we achieve through striving, but a result of yielding to the Holy Spirit in our lives. As we surrender to God and allow Him to work in us, we become more like Christ every day.
