FROM THE OUTSIDE

-
Isaiah 55:6
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

Is there a time the Lord would not be found, is there a time it would seem too late to turn to the Lord, to live the life He wants us to live?

IS THERE A TIME WHEN WE CANNOT DO THOSE THINGS WE OUGHT TO DO, OR HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED TO DO?

Many examples exist today of people who leave the scene with regret, pain and fear. They look back at their lives and wonder if they would spend eternity with the Father. Some leave the scene and they are worried of the name they have left behind, what testimony they have, from the life they have lived.

Some others would wish they had really shown love and displayed the character of God in all their dealings.

Furthermore, others would wonder why the did not attempt to work on that beautiful idea, skill or talent the Lord gave to them. Why they didn't write that book, speak salvation to that lost one or pray for such and such.

Some have been blessed by people, but have never shown appreciation or given something back.

Some even neglect their parents thinking they owe them nothing!

We do not need to wait till we get outside this flesh to do what we ought to do and live the way we ought to live. We can begin today.

2Corinthians 6:2
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now [is] the accepted time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation.)

There are things we do not need to be trained for, the character things, they should be our nature our character.

 . . .
Ephesians 5:9
(For the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

Of course we must know that there is a period of waiting, when we are trained and we mature. However when the time is right we must act. We must fulfill our purpose.

Habakkuk 2:3
For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

I see better living, I see recovered time and purpose. I see believers that would not live a different life from the Christ who returned us to the father.

When we leave the scene, we would be accomplished, having no regret. We would leave good behind.

Do go worship with fellow believers today, get involved in service not just on Sunday but as a member of the body, get something for the Sunday School if you can. Give with thanksgiving. It's God's and it is your family.

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
