STAY FOCUSED - CONTINUE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

-

1 Timothy 4:16

Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you.


You don't sit back and be content to think about it, read about it or even talk about it. You DO IT.


One major key to success is continuity, and it is difficult to practice when there is no focus. So we must create straight paths for ourselves so that we and those who follow us, will not fall.


Hebrews 12:13

Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong.


Listen:


John 8:31

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, [then] are ye my disciples indeed;


Colossians 4:2

Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;


James 1:25

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.


We all have different callings, we live in different places and we also work in different places and capacities. There is no place where one is excluded from the heavenly assignment, everyone has a role to play and everyone has been called to service. We shine as lights and cause illumination as ambassadors for Christ.


1 Corinthians 7:24 (message)

Friends, stay where you were called to be. God is there. Hold the high ground with him at your side.


So continuity is key.


Matthew 24:45-46

“A faithful, sensible servant is one to whom the master can give the responsibility of managing his other household servants and feeding them.

If the master returns and finds that the servant has done a good job, there will be a reward.


One key policy of the kingdom is continuity, being faithful to the end. Selah


As we draw closer to the end of another year, let us prepare to be relevant to the kingdom again and again. See, there are a lot of things that cluster with the message of salvation, just like the owner of the garden said that the wheat should grow with the tares, Christ has allowed all to grow, but remember that eventually there will be a harvest and then the wheat will be separated from the tares. Wheat accepted as good harvest but the tares are for burning.

So don't get infected or contaminated with the poison of the tares, know who you are, your salvation is personal, your relationship is with the Heavenly Father through Christ Jesus, first and foremost before anything or anyone matters.


Do you remember that even Christ said He will not intercede for you - so it is foolishness to still be locked in the myth of angels, dead people or whatever being to pray for you (a great bondage indeed), listen to Jesus Himself:


John 16:25-27

“I have spoken of these matters in figures of speech, but soon I will stop speaking figuratively and will tell you plainly all about the Father.

Then you will ask in my name. I’m not saying I will ask the Father on your behalf,

for the Father himself loves you dearly because you love me and believe that I came from God.

My prayer is that we will not spend so much energy on activities, religion, practices and men's doctrine, but be purposeful and faithful in true kingdom living and business. So help us Good Lord.


People say why only through Jesus:


1 Timothy 2:5

For,There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.


If you are not on the right path, the time to begin is today.


Not just talking, thinking or praying about it, LET US DO IT.


It affects every area of our life and unlike those who have not believed we have insurance/assurance both in this life and in the one to come. Glory to God.


If we have been doing it, let us CONTINUE!


May the Lord always be pleased with us.


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
