ARE YOU ON YOUR FIELD - ARE YOU DOING GOOD?

-

Titus 3:14 

And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.


Titus 3:14

Our people must learn to do good by meeting the urgent needs of others; then they will not be unproductive.


The children of God's kingdom are known to do good, yes it is our nature. Every teaching points to that very fact and why is it so?


Matthew 5:45

In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.


It is because we are like our Heavenly Father.


Who takes the glory?


Matthew 5:16

In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.


We must understand that all that God made was by default good, for those that want to argue this?


Genesis 1:31

Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day.


Liberty gave man the choice to make wrong decision, same for others who were created that way. (Glory to God that man did not go to the point of "no-return")


However man's salvation was not in his good works but in the finished work of Christ. For what man lost was his soul, the same way Esau lost his birthright for a plate of porridge.


So all the heaps of religions, sects and believe systems are all in the aim of filling that void that was created when man separated from God because of the sin of one man. Since then man has been seeking purpose and relevance. Even the acclaimed atheists have the believe system centered on God . . . ". . .there is no God"


The believer is one who finally gets home, leaving the going round in circles, for though God has called all, many may not accept, those who accept are the chosen.


Titus 1:1-3

This letter is from Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I have been sent to proclaim faith to those God has chosen and to teach them to know the truth that shows them how to live godly lives.

This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life, which God—who does not lie—promised them before the world began.

And now at just the right time he has revealed this message, which we announce to everyone. It is by the command of God our Savior that I have been entrusted with this work for him.


Our duty then as the chosen is to do good, for it is our very nature:


Ephesians 2:10

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.


Listen, the evils in our lands today that emanate from those who claim to be part of the faith is as a result of the wrong believe system. Your faith is not a part time work, your faith is your faith whether at home, in spiritual gatherings, at work, or wherever. The believer has only one personality and the summary is to do good for even Christ did good:


Acts 10:38

And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.


Our good is not by compulsion, not enforced by man, not like the Pharisees and sadduccess of old but motivated by God's very nature and empowered by His Spirit.


So, many claim to be called by God to pastor, but in the same city where there are already thousands ministering - the mission fields still lay bare. Are they truthful? All the villages, creeks and empoverished places are not to be reached out to for the gospel but the already fertile grounds are where this set of funny people are sent(a little apology for the sacarcism). 


The truth must be told if the Lord is sending you out it will be on a new field not where has already been over-harvested, just members moving from one denomination to another. Search yourself ministers!


Luke 10:2

These were his instructions to them: “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.


A great initiative to open "church" in every street, but come on, are souls really being saved, or has it just become a business centre or a noisy lot. Help us Lord.


Listen, many going to open their own "church" ought to collaborate with their present denominations to reach out to the main mission fields, funds from those who are already establish to help those in those areas in need. Selah (You don't have to open a church or ministry, it is already overloaded)


Titus 3:13-14

Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos with their trip. See that they are given everything they need.

Our people must learn to do good by meeting the urgent needs of others; then they will not be unproductive.


Do we know that school, office, that government position, that diaspora etc, is a mission field?


See, you could be so busy in "church" activities and yet be spiritually unproductive (God forbid), we must really get serious with our call.


What are you doing on your field? Are you playing your part?


The Lord give us more understanding.


Are you doing Good?


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
