DO YOU WALK IN TRUTH?

3John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. Everyone desires to live in good health, a complete prosperity that is in BODY, SOUL and SPIRIT! That was what Apostle John was prophesying in the book of 3John. 3John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. Many quote and claim this verse, but do they know the premise of this verse! Let us check: 3John 1:3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. The criteria for walking in prosperity, body, soul and spirit is "walking in the truth". Firstly, we must remember that Jesus the Christ is the truth: John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Once we have established this we can go beyond morals to li...

The Lord had You in mind

John 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; With the tide of false gospel, fake prophets and liars climbing pulpits and pulling crowds both in edifices and in the media. They display false spirits and do so many divers atrocities in the name of the Lord. Many have now come to think that the Lord has turned His back on this generation. Matthew 24:4-6 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Many are out there, in so-called churches, television broadcasts and social media deceiving people, the Lord neither called or sent them. They actually serve mammon. Philippians 3:18&19 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is t...

ALWAYS SHOW APPRECIATION

1John 4 : 7 - 9 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. At what gesture do we need to show appreciation. It goes beyond culture for the believer, for it does not just come from the heart, it also comes from our spirit (what Spirit do you carry?) Your ability to show appreciation is a measure of the love inside of you. Every form of appreciation encourages the doer to do more good. It also creates the atmosphere of positivity. We should Not take the following for granted: * The ones who regularly call or check up on us. * The ones who always have good advice for us. * The ones who give us things even as little as a cup of tea, call time or pay our transport fares or give us a ride. * The ones who correct our mistakes. * The ones ...

WHEN THINGS FALL APART

 1Samuel 30:6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God. A person's strength is known not in the time of peace and quiet but in the time of storms, trials and temptations. Proverbs 24:10 [If] thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength [is] small. Yes, the proof of strength is tested against strong scenarios not against weak things. *  You claim to be honest and prudent, have you handled money or wealth and resisted the temptation to steal or mismanage it? * You claim to be free from sexual immorality, have you been tempted, then you resisted and fled. * You claim to be humble, have you been entrusted with leadership and you resisted pride to ensure you served faithfully? * You claim to love, what are your sacrifices, where are your testimonies? * You claim to be called by God, what fruits do you bear, ...

GOD KNOWS BEST

Psalms 24:1 The earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. We know that God knows all and has all things in His control. However, we find it hard to trust Him, why? * We are either too fast or too slow! We have our desires, plans, goals and expectations. The right thing to do is to bring them to God in prayer. However, are we ready to wait for His response, are we in tune to know when He speaks? Help us Lord. Sometimes things don't happen the same way we expect it to, we then forget all and focus on the exact thing we desire. When God looks at it, He looks far beyond our limited view, He has in mind the future and the details we are not privileged to have. Ephesians 3:20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, We can be sure that God has our best interest at heart. Isaiah 55:9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than y...

DO YOU LISTEN?

Proverbs 19:20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days. One of the greatest attributes of leaders is humility and it always comes with the patience to listen. No matter how much we know and no matter how high the experience there is an advantage in choosing to listen. Of course what we hear may not be of  importance all the time,  yet being able to listen could save us a lot of headaches and stress. In line with this, it is important to listen to God and we know that he speaks to us through * His word * His Spirit living in us * people John 8:43  "Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. Psalms 62:11 God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God. We don't have the power to predict all things but we do have the will to choose to listen to those above us, below us and those with us. The Holy Spirit then helps us discern the right direction and also the wisdom to ...

SALVATION FOR ALL, TAKE ADVANTAGE

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people.  ANYONE can come to God, it is open to all, but how many are sincere? For being born into a family that already knows Him is not enough, each must make their decision. For we must all appear before Him to give account! Isaiah 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near [me] with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: The relationship God has with us is that of Father to son, yes to every believer. This is why at the new birth God comes to live in us by His Holy Spirit. Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. For He reaches out to all. John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe o...
