SEASONED not SALTLESS

-
Ephesians 5:20
 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Just like a saltless meal, or food without seasoning is a prayer life that is devoid of thanksgiving.

The same way it is with us, when we have to deal with ungrateful people be they:

* families
* friends
* colleagues or
* just a contact

We always get to be of help to someone again and again, it is irritant to keep dealing with people who only know how to receive yet they do not know how to be grateful, appreciative or make themselves useful.

Luke 17:16
and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan

We could get so used to receiving that we either forget to, or do not think it necessary to give thanks.

In the same way we have our Father, the author of life. Our sustainer, provider, deliverer, healer and our God.

We should not drift into a routine devoid of thanksgiving. He is God and He deserves it. All that work with Him know that He loves our thanksgiving.

Be it:
* through songs
* during worship
* in prayer
* in service
* to others
* and as testimonies

We must be of a thankful heart always remembering all He has done for us.

If we have a heart of thanksgiving our life style will show it!

Actually God has settled all things for us!

2Colossians 4:15
 For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

Revelation 7:12
 saying: "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen."

Psalm 100:4
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

Leventicus 22:29
"And when you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, offer it of your own free will.

God bless you, continue in thanksgiving.

Have a peaceful day.

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
