FULFIL YOUR PART

-

Genesis 10:8-10

Cush was also the ancestor of Nimrod, who was the first heroic warrior on earth.

Since he was the greatest hunter in the world, his name became proverbial. People would say, “This man is like Nimrod, the greatest hunter in the world.”

He built his kingdom in the land of Babylonia, with the cities of Babylon, Erech, Akkad, and Calneh.


As we saw few days ago, it is important to make your impact that you may have a good record when your genealogy is read. 


We cannot all have the same calling or strength, however, in whatever the Lord has blessed us with, we must use rightly to profit.


Listen, God gave every human a gift/talent, the best thing to happen to a man is to discover it/them early, nurture them and begin to use them to do exploits.


I always tell parents who listen that the best gift they could give their children is to help them discover their talent on time, that they may perfect it/them for exploits.


Even in the church, gifts cannot be taken for granted, it is a must for growth.


When Christ was leaving the earth, He gave gifts to men:


Ephesians 4:8,11-12

That is why the Scriptures say, 

“When he ascended to the heights, he led a crowd of captives and gave gifts to his people.”

Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers.

Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.


This is why Paul warned the church at Corinth:


2 Corinthians 12:19-20

Perhaps you think we’re saying these things just to defend ourselves. No, we tell you this as Christ’s servants, and with God as our witness. Everything we do, dear friends, is to strengthen you.

For I am afraid that when I come I won’t like what I find, and you won’t like my response. I am afraid that I will find quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorderly behavior.


For the sinful nature/sin is a distraction taking your mind and strength from what matters and indulging them in things that do not matter and the result is that there is no exploit.


Glory to God, that His mercy is renewed every morning.


Even if you feel you have lost it, it is not late, you can start today.


2 Corinthians 6:2

For God says, 

“At just the right time, I heard you. 

On the day of salvation, I helped you.”Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation.


Glory to God forevermore.


We will fulfill our part.


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
