WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

-
Matthew 24:46
"Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.

Year after year, we hear of the coming of the Lord, people have even  gone ahead to predict dates and times and yet all have failed.

Matthew 24:36
 "But of that day and hour no one knows, no, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

The apostles expected His return too and more than two thousand years after that we still expect His return.

Many have sacrificed their lives, that others may be saved, they also wait.

Revelations 6 : 9 & 10
When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held.
 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"

What of our fathers of old who lived faithfully, they also wait.

The question is while we wait, what is expected of us? What are we supposed to be busy, doing?

Our work!

Everyone was created for a purpose.

 Ephesians 2:10
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

We work, fulfiling that which God created us for, all our schooling, education, training, experience and study is to perfect that which God has already purposed for us.

When the bible says wait, it is not in idleness but in doing the good work. Everyone who was recorded in scriptures as being God's own, were known for their work. Even Jesus the Christ.

John 5:17
 But Jesus answered them, "My Father has been working until now, and I have been working."

See, even God is working!

So no idle waiting. I have always known that no one of God is permitted to be lazy, no. Every one of God's people in scriptures were hard workers, efficient, deligent and no fault was found in their work.

One of the major maturity of a man is discovering his work and then accomplishing it.

There is a need to sit and ask ourselves:

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Let us remember that the day we leave this world, Christ has already come for us, so studying times and season to know when He will return is not wisdom. We should be busy at the work He has sent us to do.

What is your work to the church?
What is your work to your family?
What is your work to humanity?
What is your work for God?

May we be called the good and faithful servant. True children and not just sayers alone.

God bless you.

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
