WE NEED ONE ANOTHER

-

Hebrews 10:24-25

Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.

And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.


We have one High Priest, Jesus the Christ who gave us liberty and inheritance with the Heavenly Father. By His sacrifice He made everyone of us who believe sons:


John 1:12-13

But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.

They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.


Knowing this, what then is expected of us as believers:


We are to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. We gather in this same spirit. The book of Hebrews emphasized this that it is needed especially as the time of the end is near. 


The verse further went to explain to us that sinning willfully has no redemption, thus we gather to edify one another. 


We must always remember what our High Priest has done for us, so that we do not think ourselves less than what we are and then submit to sin:


Hebrews 10:21-22

And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.


Sincerity of heart is key, always having in our mind that the Lord looks at the heart. (Help us Lord) 


We hold tightly to our faith, we are not easily moved:


Hebrews 10:23

Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.


For we know that without faith we cannot please the Heavenly Father. 


So, there is no room for apostasy, for when you leave the truth which is the light, what is the alternative? Darkness or a lie cannot be a good alternative? NO. For there is no longer redemption for those who abandon faith. 


Hebrews 10:26-29

Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins.

There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies.

For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us.


For God is love, God is kind, merciful and gracious. He is still the righteous judge, and remember all power belongs to Him. It is a terrible thing to fall to His judgment:


Hebrews 10:31

It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.


So we need one another, we help one another, for we are headed to an inheritance, a glory of the Father forever. We cannot take it for granted. We must endure and remain faithful. 


Hebrews 10:35-37

So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!

Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

“For in just a little while, the Coming One will come and not delay.


We help one another to stay in faith. 


1 Thessalonians 5:10-11

Christ died for us so that, whether we are dead or alive when he returns, we can live with him forever.

So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.


Never be counted among the goats, be that sheep, whether people take advantage of you or not, focus on whom you do all things for, the Heavenly Father. We are sometimes so quick to think that another wants to take advantage of us that we forget to love. 


Remember that it is the enemy that is the architect of discord among brethren, that human is just the tool. 


Let us know whom we have believed. We are not of those who turn back, we are the faithful ones, we will be saved. 


Hebrews 10:39

But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved.


So help us Good Lord. 


He calls us blessed. 


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
