APPRECIATION ( a reminder)

APPRECIATION ( a reminder)

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.

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.

Somethings we do take the following for granted:

A. The ones who regularly calls or checks up on us.

B. The ones who always has a good advice for us.

C. The ones who gives us things even as little as recharge cards or pay our transport fares or gives you a ride.

D. The ones who corrects our mistakes.

E. The ones who share the word of God with us.

F. The ones who makes our worship comfortable as a worker in church.

E. The ones who work under us or serve us.

F. The ones whom we work under or serve.

G. The ones who allows us come in front of them while we drive.

H. The ones who gives us useful information to save us from stress or wasted efforts.

I. The ones who watch over our kids.

J. Our siblings who are always there for us.

 the lists goes on and on.

Please never get to a point where these little gestures don't matter to you. Every effort at showing love to you should be appreciated.

A simple phrase like

* thank you
* I appreciate you
* God bless you
* Love you
* You are a darling
       etc.

could go a long way to encourage more love around us.

We even find it hard sometimes to appreciate our children, these is their confidence boost and also appreciation shown to them will make them grow up filled with love and ready to show appreciation also.

Let us destroy the negativity and lack of love around.

Good must be our activity and love our motive.

As we remember God's love towards us in sacrificing His one and only Son. Lets create, encourage and brew love all around us.

Have you shown appreciation to God today, Will you continue to show appreciation to God in all your activities?

Yes I believe you will.

God bless you.

Love
@the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
