THE RIGHT PATH

-

Proverbs 21:5

Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.


It is good to walk the right path, knowing day after day that you owe no one any recompense. A heart free of guilt will definitely live in joy.


Shortcuts could be dangerous for it could lead to disaster and a walk in unrighteous.


Proverbs 21:8

The guilty walk a crooked path; the innocent travel a straight road.


We must let our children know that it is better to walk in the path of righteousness than to seek hasty reward. For in patience and deligence success is assured for God will bless the deed.


I love this hymn by Arthur Campbell Singer, written in 1894. The last verse says:


All we can do is nothing worth

unless God blessed the deed;

vainly we hope for the harvest-tide

till God gives life to the seed;

yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be,

when the earth shall be filled

with the glory of God

as the waters cover the sea.


We must know how to plant, prune our growing seed and then harvest. For scriptures says that who sow in tears will reap in joy. God will indeed bless the seed and cause it to bear large harvests. We don't need to do evil!


Never let your children join the wicked. (Are you among the wicked?)


A time of reckoning will surely come when the wicked will be destroyed but the righteous will be exalted.


Proverbs 21:12

The Righteous One knows what is going on in the homes of the wicked; he will bring disaster on them.


Matthew 13:47-50

“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a fishing net that was thrown into the water and caught fish of every kind.

When the net was full, they dragged it up onto the shore, sat down, and sorted the good fish into crates, but threw the bad ones away.

That is the way it will be at the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked people from the righteous, throwing the wicked into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


Some hide in churches and religions, thinking that their evil deeds are covered. No, the Lord will expose them, even if they die thinking the have hidden the lie well, they will have eternity to pay for it.


Hebrews 13:16

And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.


3 John 1:11

Dear friend, don’t let this bad example influence you. Follow only what is good. Remember that those who do good prove that they are God’s children, and those who do evil prove that they do not know God.


That simple, God's own walk in righteousness, there is no other way.


It is all profit, a true win-win for those who follow the path of righteousness.


May we and our generation be accounted as righteous.


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
