OUR TRUST IS IN GOD

-

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.

God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful.


In all, our trust is in the Lord God, for He gives us salvation. Our holiness is not by our strength but our trusting in Him. For He says, come!


From the time of old, the Lord has beckoned on man, for truly we can do nothing without Him:


In Genesis He said: 

Gensis 3:9 

And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where [art] thou?


Yes man was made in God's image and with the power of choice, however, man was ever to be dependent on His creator, for in Him was life.


Gensis 2:7 

And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.


Man remains dependent on his maker. Thus David said:


Psalm 14:1a

The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. 


So man was never made to be out of His source, thus scriptures says:


Proverbs 20:27 

The spirit of man [is] the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.


So when man was lost and doomed because he lost communion with God, God Himself in Christ Jesus came to redeem man.


God called:


Isaiah 1:18 

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.


Man cannot do without God.


Thus man being redeemed still abides to be able to bear fruit:


John 15:4 

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.


This is why we pray, for we trust in the Lord. Never take prayers for granted, thus Paul et al, asks the church to pray for them:


1 Thessalonians 5:25

Dear brothers and sisters, pray for us.


The Lord also helps us to love one another, for He Himself is love. Halleluyah.


1 Thessalonians 5:26

Greet all the brothers and sisters with a sacred kiss.


This truth is so important and must be taught everywhere:


1 Thessalonians 5:27

I command you in the name of the Lord to read this letter to all the brothers and sisters.


Our trust is in the Lord.


The fall of man then and the fall of many today is as a result of not trusting in the Lord. His grace is released today to all those who will turn to Him.


Thank You Lord.


1 Thessalonians 5:28

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.


Glory to God.


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
