A BETTER YOU

Proverbs 4:18

The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day.

Psalm 91:14

Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.

The Heavenly Father's desire for every human is positive growth, for in the beginning He made all things good and commanded us to prosper.

Genesis 1:27-28
So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”

However sin made man what he was not, for death came to be.

Today every human has the opportunity to return to Him, the Heavenly Father, and of course the only one who is the way is the Word Himself, Christ Jesus.

The issue is that many have not understood that the real man is not the carnal flesh but the spirit of man. Thus the Heavenly Father is interested in the soul of man, thus He looks into the heart to see the exact intent of man and not the outward show:

Jeremiah 17:10
 I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

The Lord God, doesn't deal with appearances He searches the heart.

One great thing about the victory Christ won was the ability to have a changed heart, to turn from what we used to be to what God wants us to be.

Romans 5:6
For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

2 Corinthians 5:17
This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

That is, everyone has the opportunity to re-write their story, to have a new heart, the heart that God desires. For some it is immediately they receive the new birth that they manifest this growth other come to it after the realization has sunk in, through teachings and experience. No matter how it comes growth is eminent.

We can change our diet from all those things that give us hate, and be filled with that which is of love. This is the core essence of our salvation.

Ephesians 4:22-24
throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception.
Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.
Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.

Isaiah 2:2
Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.

No one is exempted, every person can enjoy the grace of the new birth and everyone born of God can be refreshed again and again to become better and better.

Titus 2:11-13
For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people.
And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.

Our heart must remain in God, filled with His nature, which is Love.

Proverbs 4:18
But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.

Thus we become better and better each day as Christ reveals more and more to us, we become better in our show of love which extents to how we deal with all forms of people and situations.

Yes, we get better in all things concerning including our careers, work, skills, ministry, responsibilities and in all things, we fail in non.

2 Corinthians 9:8
And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

I heard this quote yesterday:

"Before you give excuses, remember that someone who has less resources and opportunities than you have, has done better with it"

I see a better you, I see us getting better by the day, as our clock keeps ticking, our report will keep improving, our story will be a good testimony.

Halleluyah.

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
