A GODLY SOCIETY

-

Proverbs 12:8-9

A sensible person wins admiration, but a warped mind is despised.

Better to be an ordinary person with a servant than to be self-important but have no food.


Every human is a creation of God and by default all that God made was good. However, the world was contaminated because of man's disobedience -(the wrong use of his liberty)- and so is the vessels that brings forth the human became contaminated.


Romans 3:23

For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.


Yet, a child remains innocent till they reach the age of knowledge.


Matthew 18:3

Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.


What is it that is lacking in that little child that makes them innocent? It includes ego, pride, hatred, malice and all forms of unhealthy competition.


It is because of these characters that we see people live fake lives, those who then have opportunity to serve, steal and loot, because they cannot be satisfied.


Jesus asked:


Mark 8:36-37

And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?

Is anything worth more than your soul?


For someone to keep looting and looting common wealth, is an evidence of a deep void that cannot be filled.


So what are we teaching our children, what do we teach on the pulpits, in our homes, what is the society upholding?


When people are celebrities because of immoral and degrading acts and those who are actually wise and prove intellectual excellence are rarely celebrated if not entirely neglected. Why then do we wonder why the society is in disarray, it is for this reason that evil thrives and the young seem not to have focus.


It is time that God's people cease to join the emptiness, foolishness and rat race the world has accepted and preach, act and show good examples of what a godly society is.


Some may say, it is devil, I was tempted. Listen:


All the atrocities we see reflected in our society has its root from our homes. The powers of evil throw these suggestions in the air, the state they find the individual will determine if they will succumb or if they will resist.


As scriptures says, we have to humble ourselves towards God, then resist the devil, then he will flee from us.


1Peter 5:6-9, James 4:7.


I ask again, what do we feed our children?


As we gather together be it yesterday, today or any other blessed day, may we fellowship, pray for and teach our roles in the society we live in.


Matthew 5:13-14,16

“You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.

“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.

In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.


For a search for relevance can never be satisfied, it is like a hole, the more you dig into it, the deeper it becomes, yet it is more empty at each dig.


So the apostles says:


1 Timothy 6:6

Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth.


We must also remember that we all will give account!


May we please the Lord in all things, may we impact our society positively.


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
