NO BARGAIN WITH THE ENEMY

-

1John 5:21

Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.


1Corinthians 10:14

Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.


There is always something you consciously or unconsciously hold on to and if you are not careful could be used as a bargaining power against you.


Never let anything be the idol.


Jesus asked: What will you sacrifice for your soul?


Mark 8:37

 "Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?


Find out what it is, then "un-idolize" it, nothing is so important, remember there was a time you didn't have it.


We have seen ladies who gave their precious body up to get a blackberry phone but now they would not collect from anyone now, even for free. Is it really worth it?


We have seen men sacrifice parts of themselves for wealth now it tastes as gravel in their mouth, while some are either dead or a living dead.


In all, the bargain had never been worthwhile.


The bible says:


1John 2:16

For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world.


1John 2:17

 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.


It is terrible if that which one holds on to so much, is just a material possession.


It could be a loved one, a position, or a possession. What do you do if that one/thing is taken from you?


May we never have any reason to make anyone, person or thing replace God in our life.


The enemy will have no bargaining power. He has no hold over us. In the name of Jesus the Christ, for we are already bought by Christ. We give our all to Him, there is nothing else to give. Glory to God.


May all we do please our heavenly Father.


May we not be carried away with that which will pass away.


May we have eternal investments and heavenly reward.


We are blessed, and God has promised that no sorrow is added to it.


Proverbs 10:22

 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it


Dear Heavenly Father I am okay with that which comes from you, there is no better anywhere else, I am not deceived, I am convinced. All the glory is Yours forever.


Halleluyah!


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
