BE THE TEACHER (a reminder)

-

Hebrews 5:12

For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

We meet situations we have no control over, time and time again.

Daniel found himself in a strange land with so much expected from him.

Joseph found himself in a palace with so much to account for.

David found himself in the war zone with a giant soldier threatening his people

Lot found himself in a community full of unrepentant sinners whose atrocities knew no boundary

Solomon found himself as king, when he ought to have been a rejected child

"The situations are not always our making, yet the scripts, we can write"

Instead of watching the scene as a spectator we could actually write the script by being "the teacher".

Titus 2:7
In all things see that you are an example of good works; holy in your teaching, serious in behaviour.

This instruction was actually given to godly women.

No one is left out!

Psalm 37:6
And he will make your righteousness be seen like the light, and your cause like the shining of the sun.

It is not old school or old fashioned to do the right things. It is a norm.

We cannot only speak it, we must live it. We should not always expect it, we should be it.

Matthew 5:16
Even so let your light be shining before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

Proverbs 6:23
For the rule is a light, and the teaching a shining light; and the guiding words of training are the way of life.

I see believers who are the perfect example to the world around them. In little and big things.

Numbers 6:25
May the light of the Lord's face be shining on you in grace.

We would be perfect examples, the Lord would be happy with us.

1Peter 2:9
 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

We would not get tired, and if we have erred, grace to begin again is here!

So we pray, we worship, we study the word. We must not fail in this!

Colossians 3:16&17
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Help us Good Lord.

He calls us blessed.

Love
@ the watcher.

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
