WHOSE DO YOU SEEK

Philippians 2:21

All the others care only for themselves and not for what matters to Jesus Christ.


Philippians 2:21

 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.


Even from the first generation of believers it has been there, the self seeking lot, whose heart is not really with Christ but for themselves.


Paul commended Timothy:


Philippians 2:20,22

I have no one else like Timothy, who genuinely cares about your welfare.

But you know how Timothy has proved himself. Like a son with his father, he has served with me in preaching the Good News.


If we do an appraisal of our lives and activities as believers, what do we find?


Do we find a heart that is faithful and committed to Christ, or do we find a self seeking heart?


Ministers, clergy and Laity alike, who really has their heart dedicated to the Lord, there are so many who wear the collar but their recognition does not surpass men, the heaven does not recognize them. It doesn't matter the denomination or sect. Some of us have been so carried away with sentiment, fear and the delusion of the founders/creators and fabricators of religion that we do not know that it is the Heavenly Father we serve in His Word Jesus the Christ. The word of God has been revealed to us, what will be our defence?


Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.


No clergy, prophet, religion or sect is greater than the Word. Listen:


John 17:17

Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.


In case you have not gotten it, Listen:


The Lord will not judge you by what a denomination, sect, religion, or any spiritual leader no matter the title tells or teaches you, but by His Word. Selah


Hello, who do you seek!


See the children of Israel were chosen by God yet He said:


Isaiah 29:13

And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. 

They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 

And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote.


Christ re-emphasized it:


Matthew 15:7-9

You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote,

‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.’”


Hello, it is only the Heavenly Father's will that matters and the only person who revealed and reveals Him is Christ Jesus:


John 1:18

No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us.


So whose do you seek, that of the Heavenly Father through His Word, His Son Jesus the Christ or another?


Hello, before you feel so important, remember that you are just one out of billions living now and yet one out of the googolplex that have lived before now or are yet to come.


Hello, wake up and begin to seek the will of the Lord. Let your life fulfil His will and purpose, stop playing around.


We seek Your will O Lord!


May the Lord open every blind eye that the sincere heart will NOT be lost!


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
