NEED FOR ORDER!

-

1 Corinthians 14:40

But be sure that everything is done properly and in order.


1 Corinthians 13:1-2

If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing.


There is a new surge now "the megaphone competition", in every street and corner very early in the morning, on work times when people ought to be busy being productive and also in the peak of the day.


What is being announced "give your life to Christ", "amend your ways", "hell is real" etc.


Does this imply that the second coming is near, so near as today or this week, this month or this year?


Matthew 24:14

And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come.


Well the real question is, what is really the content of this announcers, are they real or mere noise makers?


I tried listening to one, though this is very difficult because you are actually in motion, the content was shallow and the person had no idea of scriptures.


I watched one on social media, he was preaching at a commercial car replying passengers who were cautioning his rants, he was asking anyone who had "impregnated" their wives to ask God for forgiveness because they had sinned. (What!)


Hebrews 13:4 

Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.


So what is really happening?


There is a surge of either mentally derailed people, misinformed people, aggressed people or just troublesome people taking advantage (or do I say taking disadvantage) of liberty of speech and religious sentimentality to make themselves a nuisance to the public. The have mixed up with those who may know what they are doing. The issue is they are doing it in the name of the Lord.


These set of people have not studied the word, they have no love in their hearts and are gullible tools in the hands of their encouragers or their mental health. (NOT ALL)


There is a need to bring caution to this anomaly before it is interpreted as the general representation of the Christian faith.


A very annoying situation was when someone told me of one screaming into the bus they were sitting with a megaphone and another doing the same alternately it was a sort of competition.


There is a need for this misbehaviour and indecent liberality to be cautioned.


The question now comes, what is your role in spreading the gospel? 


With all these noise, these same people go into the world and are not good examples of the nature of Christ, neither do they live exemplary lives. We still have a society full of corruption, evil killings, envy, theft and all forms of wickedness.


Matthew 7:20

Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.


We have left what is to be done undone and have allowed hypocritical noise to abound all over the place.


James 4:17

Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.


The real teachers and evangelist should take their place, the church leadership should take up their responsibility to put things in order . . .


UNLESS THEY WANT THE SECULAR LEADERS TO DO IT FOR THEM!


This may not be beneficial to the church yet they would be justified for they are to bring order.


May we do what we ought to do at the right time by the wisdom of God's Spirit.


May the Lord make us who believe true examples of our faith by our lifestyles, that as we open our mouth to proclaim Christ we will not be hypocrites but bearers of the good news.


Help us Good Lord.


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
