THE RIGHT STEPS: a reminder

-

Genesis 28:7

And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;


For a destination of success, we begin with the right steps. The contrasts between Jacob and Esau was in obedience and disobedience. We thus define our path by whom we choose to obey.


We see that the Lord is interested in those who would walk in obedience for that was the main reason Abraham was picked. To fit into the lineage, the same obedience must continue.


Today we have an open door, everyone has been called into the fold:


Jesus said He was the open door that anyone could come in and find pasture:


John 10:9

 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.


Titus 2:11

For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people.


The same way NOT all that were born to Abraham followed the lineage of the promise also not all who claim they know Christ are of the promise - the key lies in obedience - following the path:


Luke 6:46

“So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say?


It is one thing to claim you are His, it is another to walk in His obedience.


1 Peter 2:21

For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps.


Whose footsteps are you following?


What path are you threading?


That is the key, you can claim anything, but you must prove all things. Selah


Romans 14:12

Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God.


Who or what are you hiding under? Hmm


Some hide under a denomination(church) or religion, a title, a prophet or..., past good deeds etc


Luke 8:17

For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither [any thing] hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.


The time will come when you will have to show what you are really made of. Thus we must get it right from the start.


Remember: Now is the start, yes today can be your start!


Luke 19:9

And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.


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.


That is the beauty of our Heavenly Father, He can allow you begin today. No matter how we got it wrong, we can yet get it right. Thank you Dear Lord.


However remember those under your care, they must be led through the path, they must walk in obedience. We should lead them aright. This is why the Lord chose Abraham, He chooses us today. We will not disappoint Him. So help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Loving Father help me walk in the rights steps continually. Lord I follow You, therefore I will not miss my way. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


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
