SPIRITUAL ORDERLINESS

-

Mark 6:31

Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat.


There a lot of things that is done out of order in the name of doing ministry work. It is important to note that those we work with are humans and they do need time out to rest just as you need to also. Even Christ acknowledged that.


Listen, you are responsible to cater for your body, to keep it clean, feed it the right things and of course to rest. No one will do it for you.


Note it is a great disservice for you to feed your body toxins. Yet people do it because they have created the cravings for it or sheepishly want to belong. Is this not foolishness?


The same way some supposed leader have misappropriated, their own body of Christ or sect.


Let us examine ourselves today, all the exertion of energy, is it for the right course?


Paul as Saul spent part of his life persecuting the church, yes it was in total ignorance. Today there are people practicing false religions, wrong doctrines and alliances of devils with the believe that they are actually serving God, what a waste!


Everyone must get to the point when they ask, "This thing I am holding strongly onto, and doing all these extremity for, is it really the right part?


John 8:32

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”


Many are under the bondage of men thinking they are serving God. Selah


Do you know that some have come to understand the truth of salvation that is in Christ Jesus but cannot let go because of what people will say or powers will do?


John 12:42-43

Many people did believe in him, however, including some of the Jewish leaders. But they wouldn’t admit it for fear that the Pharisees would expel them from the synagogue.

For they loved human praise more than the praise of God.


For those who have found the truth they understand balance, and know that:


1 Corinthians 14:40

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


Some people have made themselves a nuisance in the name of one denomination or the other, some have been cajoled to wear funny emblems and overalls all in the name of identifying with a sect. We may not talk about mantles and other elements which are all the sentiments of religion.


RELIGION is man-made!


Ephesians 5:15-17

So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise.

Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.

Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.


May the Lord grant us wisdom to know how to work and rest as true believers, we will not strain ourselves or exert energy on things that don't matter or figments of our imagination. We will "study ourself approved" that our energy will be well channeled to the right things.


So help us Good Lord.


He calls us blessed.


Love

GOOD LIKE YOUR FATHER

-
Genesis 1:31 Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day. There is one thing we must have in mind, "it is the desire of our Heavenly Father that we should be like Him". He is good and He expects us to be good, we follow in His good nature. One of the attributes of the Heavenly Father's goodness is in the perfection of His work. What can be said of your works? Listen, the Psalmist sang: Psalms 118:23 This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see. Look at those who walked with the Heavenly Father in scriptures, their works were wonderful to behold, is it when they worked in spiritual positions, Joseph and Daniel in interpretation of dreams and giving wise counsel; or the prophets when they delivered God's message or did miracles. Their works were commendable when they were in political positions, Joseph and Daniel are still very good examples, no blemish was found in their work...

OUR GIVING

-
John 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. What exactly have we sacrificed for Christ? We talk of all His goodness, love and unmerited favour, how have we shown appreciation for the grace He has given us? Do we really know what the Lord has done for us? Psalm 139:17-18 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!  [If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. Psalm 30:12 To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. People ask, Christ is not physically here with us, how can I pour my precious oil on Him? This is what He said: Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these...

NEVER TAKE REVENGE!

-
Romans 12:19 Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge;I will pay them back,” says the lord. Offences would surely come as we continue our journey here on earth. One thing we must learn to do is never to act when we are angry. Almost one hundred percent of the time, if we reflect on it, we find that we regret our actions. It is not that we do not get angry, the bible teaches that even when we do, it should not lead us to sin. Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: If an enemy hurts us, well what do we expect from an enemy. However betrayal is when a friend intentionally hurts us. Check it! What makes us think it is intentional? So better to talk about it than be silent! Luke 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. If it hurts, then talk about it, it is always a wonder what we discover when we tal...
