SUBMITTING TO GOD

-

James 1:22

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.


Luke 6:46

"But why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say?


It is one thing to know what God desires from us and another to actually do them. There is the written will from His word, His will spoken to you as a person and His will spoken to you as a family.


Hello, some depend on another to know God's will, spiritual leadership is very important but be careful that you do not replace God with any man or being. Hmm it is dangerous. Don't make it hard on those who lead you.


If we are of God, our life must show it, by the daily obedience to His Word.

The only way to know His word is by studying them, then the Holy Spirit keeps reminding us of them.


John 14:26

"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.


We should remember that whom we obey is who is Lord over us. The truth is that we must obey someone. I was listening to a sound track in a movie "the ultimate gift" and the lyrics said,:

"You must serve someone it may be the Lord or the devil but you must serve someone".


This is absolutely true, atheist and naturalist believe that they serve no one, but that is a mirage. Man was created to serve someone, we are as a default, loyal to someone per time, either God or the devil, there is no vacuum.


Romans 6:16

Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness.


As we go on this year, may we do the check, "WHO IS IN CHARGE?".


Listen, God does not disturb us, really, He gave us liberty it is actually the devil that keeps us bound. Selah!


2Corinthians 3:17

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty.


Truly it is those you call master's, father's or spiritual leaders that actually put you in bondage, Christ doesn't. Selah


If you don't understand the above statement, then you don't understand the verse after this:


Mark 10:5

But Jesus responded, “He wrote this commandment only as a concession to your hard hearts.


See Christ says more:


Matthew 23:2-11

“The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of the law of Moses.

So practice and obey whatever they tell you, but don’t follow their example. For they don’t practice what they teach.

They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden.

“Everything they do is for show. On their arms they wear extra wide prayer boxes with Scripture verses inside, and they wear robes with extra long tassels.

And they love to sit at the head table at banquets and in the seats of honor in the synagogues.

They love to receive respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi.’

“Don’t let anyone call you ‘Rabbi,’ for you have only one teacher, and all of you are equal as brothers and sisters.

And don’t address anyone here on earth as ‘Father,’ for only God in heaven is your spiritual Father.

And don’t let anyone call you ‘Teacher,’ for you have only one teacher, the Messiah.

The greatest among you must be a servant.


May we receive understanding.


May our lives reflect Jesus the Christ whom we obey.


Join me to declare:

I am in Christ, therefore my life will reflect Christ. In word, thought and deed.


So help us Good Lord.


It is well with you. Do have an awesome day.


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
