CONTINUE BEING THAT GOOD PERSON

-

Colossians 1:10 

That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;


Most people get acquainted with you because of one good nature or the other. Even places of employment take you in because of one good quality or the other they believe you have. As a believer this must be so for Christ instructed us:


Matthew 5:16

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.


Your good friends came close to you because of those good characteristics you carry. (although some might just do so because of what they can get from you). True believers should attract people of like minds, for that is what scripture teaches:


Psalm 119:63 

I [am] a companion of all [them] that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.


Thus all that we do must be good, for we follow the nature of our Father:


Matthew 5:45,48

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.

But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.


Titus 3:8

This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.


We must not let the characteristic good qualities of ours fade away due to pressures, challenges or bad reaction of others. No, we are not controlled by those factors but by God's own Spirit. We teach people how to live by our own lifestyle and show them hope in the Heavenly Father.


1Peter 2:15

For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men--


Colossians 1:10

that you may have a walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;


You are to get better by the day, not discouraged or angered but better and better.


2Thessalonians 3:13

But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.


May we shine brighter today. No matter what others do, they cannot steal our joy (don't let them!). The enemy can do nothing about it for it is the Lord that has the final say.


You never know when the Lord will appear or when He will call you. Thus we don't have shady lifestyles neither are we double minded we live everyday as a treasured moment. For we are children of light.


Understand this and make full impact in your time, we cherish long life and the Lord has said He will give it to us, we will make full use of it bringing the Lord joy day after day. 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
