REMAIN FAITHFUL

-

Hebrews 6:10-11

For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers, as you still do.

Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true.


Everyone experiences the wait, and it is in this period that we prove who we say we are. We also get to work in the faith we have received and then expect a reward:


2 Timothy 4:8

And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.


Are we expecting Him? 


If we are then we must remain faithful, for truly we could get carried away with all the events in this world and forget who and of whom we really are. 


1 Peter 1:23 

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.


We are born of incorruptible seed and we are preserved by the Heavenly Father, we must never forget this. We must NOT get carried away. 


For you can go out of the cover of the Almighty Father, God forbid:


This is extremely dangerous for those who have experienced God’s Mighty power and have been privileged to partake in the display of this power. For to whom much is given, much is expected:


Hebrews 6:4-6

For it is impossible to bring back to repentance those who were once enlightened—those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the power of the age to come—and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people back to repentance; by rejecting the Son of God, they themselves are nailing him to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame.


For many cry that they want to experience more of God's power, they want to partake in the display of God’s heavenly powers. I always counsel, that we should be patient and allow God take us into maturity, then we gradually mature into the realm of His power, that we would not err. 


2 Corinthians 12:7

even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.


Kathryn Kuhlman once said that we only see the glamour the display of God's power on stage, but we have no clue the sacrifice that has been done. 


Hello, the closer you get to the Heavenly Father, the farther away you are from the pleasures of the world. You grasp the relevant over the irrelevant. 


This is why I am hard on churches/denominations/sects in Christ Jesus. How do we dwell so much on the irrelevant and leave the relevant unattended to. 


Colossians 3:1-4

Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.

Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.

For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.

And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.


How many are still here? 


Do we know the meaning of the 91st Psalm? 


Psalms 91:1-2,15-16

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

This I declare about the Lord: 

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.

When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble.  I will rescue and honor them.

I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”


We do NOT only remember the Lord when we face troubles or challenges. WE DWELL IN HIS PRESENCE. 


Remember 1John, the evidence of our love for Him is in our obedience and love for others. 


We must remain faithful:


Hebrews 6:11-12

Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true.

Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent. Instead, you will follow the example of those who are going to inherit God’s promises because of their faith and endurance.


We are not of those who draw back. We remain faithful. 


Help us Good Lord. 


He calls us blessed. 


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

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
