DO GOOD LIKE YOUR FATHER

-
1Thessalonians  5:15
See that none render evil for evil unto any [man]; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all [men].

Psalm 109:5
 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

In the last days the scriptures prophesied that there would be betrayals among brethren. Many would breech trusts that ought to reign in relationships for moments of pleasure, greed and selfishness.

One reason this would happen is that in these latter days, many would develop "itching ears" they would not endure sound doctrine. The would not want to listen to the truth. The would feel comfortable with a lie or half truths.

2Timothy 4 : 3 & 4
 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

The fear of God has been removed and replaced with the chase for prosperity, relevance and religion. Forgetting that we would all give account. All will yet come to an end.

Ecclesiastes 12:14
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil.

Many pray, fast and do church things but have no personal dedication to God. Do we still speak one on one with the Father in our spirit man or has our conscience been seared with iron.

The standard for the believer is:

1Thessalonians 5:15
See that none render evil for evil unto any [man]; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all [men].

Have we not fallen short? Have we not derailed? Even those who show us love or do us good. Have we showed them love? Have we not betrayed them.

The new commandment is Love and it is the fulfilment of all the laws and the prophets.

Are we seeking to always take advantage. Do we even care to bless those who have been a blessing to us. God has used many people to bless us, have we deemed it fit to appreciate them one way or the other. Giving is the sign of love.

Glory to God, the Son has died and resurrected, we can confess, seek forgiveness, restitute and have peace again. He is a merciful Father.

May we be called, children of God. We will reflect the nature of our Father.

God bless you.

Love

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

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J

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
