BE CONTENT

-
1 Timothy 6:6 Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. Not all will be wealthy in the land, some would surely have needs, thus when the law was given through Moses these ones were catered for. In the church, some special set of people had to be catered for: Acts 6:1-2 But as the believers rapidly multiplied, there were rumblings of discontent. The Greek-speaking believers complained about the Hebrew-speaking believers, saying that their widows were being discriminated against in the daily distribution of food. So the Twelve called a meeting of all the believers. They said, “We apostles should spend our time teaching the word of God, not running a food program. These were people with genuine needs, who needed to be catered for. Contentment would make you give as a believer, for the excess you have is entrusted to you to provide for someone else. This is true christian love. The lazy, or financially foolish, are not the needy. Proverbs 13:4,11,25 Lazy people want much ...

HOW YOU LAY YOUR BED . . .

-
Galatians 6:7 Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. While others slept, they kept watch; while others had fun, they invested the time in reading, studying, meditating; while others stayed idle, they practiced again and again. Then others wondered why they got there, why they are so skilled, so blessed, so favoured. Proverbs 22:29 Do you see any truly competent workers? They will serve kings rather than working for ordinary people. Do we want to be spiritual giants, do we want to be spiritually mature, enjoying the full glory of what Christ has done for us, then we must wake up from our spiritual sleep. Don't get sucked in with the philosophies and arguments. Don't be trapped in religion. What exactly do you have to lose? !!! For it is what you sow, you reap! Galatians 6:7-8 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corrupt...

THINK BEFORE YOU ACT

-
Proverbs 13:16 NLT Wise people think before they act; fools don’t—and even brag about their foolishness. I have come to understand that before we do anything, there is that brief moment when we have to decide. It could be in seconds or we may have longer moments to think about it, no matter the length, every action is premeditated. Sometimes we do not allow that brief moment, ( I am guilty of this) this may cause us to err, and if we are God's we feel so bad about it. Therefore we must decide, to take the right actions. Proverbs 4:26 NLT Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Here the Holy Spirit helps us, if only we are patient to allow Him to have His way. We need to feed ourselves with the word more than all other things that want to occupy our heart or mind. Psalms 119:11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You. This is what every believer should practice and develop, so that we do not err. James 1:16 Do not err, my beloved ...

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE?

-
Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard [it]. The grace of God upon man comes with the ability of man to believe. This is so essential that God would not drag us into anything if we refuse to believe. I believe as I have often taught that it is as a result of how God created us, "a replica of Himself here on earth". Genesis 1:26-27 Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.” So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. This I call the power of choice, that is, not being forced into anything but be able to decide what we do. This thus makes us fully accountable. This is why when people say, "why...

HE DIED AND ROSE, WHY?

-
Colossians 1:22 Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault. Today we remember Christ's death and resurrection! How great a redemption, paid with so such a great price. That we who were born in sin and rejected would now be presented to the Heavenly Father as HOLY, BLAMELESS and WITHOUT FAULT! That is what Yeshua Hamashiach, Jesus the Christ did for us. Halleluyah So when God looks at us He doesn't see our shortcomings or faults but He sees the perfect Christ. Glory. Can this be everyone's portion? Yes,  Jew or Gentile, no matter who we are. This grace is given to all who believe! Colossians 1:21 This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all ...

WE WIN

-
Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness [is] of me, saith the LORD. This prophecy made to the children of Israel long time ago is not limited to them but it applies to all that the Lord calls righteous, we understand that God's righteousness is in Christ Jesus. So we are called righteous by God in Christ Jesus. Glory. Are there battles, yes, most times we are not aware of them. Do we have to worry, NO, why? God sends His warring angels to fight these battles and most times we have No knowledge of it. When Christ died as we remember this season, He said it is finished. He paid the full price for our sins delivering us from the power of sin and death. He resurrected given us total victory over the enemy. So as He died, we died to sin and death and as He rose, we rise into everlasting life. Glory to God. G...

YOUR STRENGTH

-
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, build up your strength in union with the Lord and by means of his mighty power. Where does your strength lie? After all said and done, one will need to prove where one's strength lies. Is it during times of challenges, trials, even in times of peace, much work or when one is at rest? Where your anchor is rested, will definitely be questioned and tested. David was a king with great military might and with soldiers who could give their life for him yet he said: Psalms 20:7& 8 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. Isaiah said: Isaiah 31:1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD! Be careful who and where you seek for help. The long term is important ...
