ARE YOU SURE?

1 Corinthians 3:13

each one's work will become manifest; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is.


We could set out a principled lifestyle. To make people take us as this or that type of person. We could make such and such claim.


"The truth is everyones' work will go through the fire test."


We could claim perfection but have we gone through tests, have we proved what we claim?


Sometimes stereotyping changes:


"Your feeling at this moment may not be the same when the weather changes"


* Don't tell me how humble you are until you have a place of power


* Don't tell me how prudent you are, till you are handling lots of money


* Don't tell me how patient you are until you have dealt properly with your spouse, children, employer or employee and your neighbours


* Don't tell me how much faith you have, until you have nothing and no promise from anywhere


* Don't tell me how much love you have until you have been hurt, yet you still resolve to show love


* Don't tell me how holy you are, until you have been tempted, and yet without sin


* Don't tell me how much you love God, when you can't obey Him.


1 Timothy 3:10

But let these also first be proved; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless


We live in a time when people mount positions of power without first being tested for integrity. God's standard being traded for man's sentiment


2 Corinthians 10:18

For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.


But I see a generation of believers who will arise from this sleep and device of the enemy and begin to occupy our place with our Heavenly Father.


Where God can say:


Job 1:8b

"Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?"


I see us rising from every fall. I see us a testimony, as we go through the remaining half of this year.


We will be a testimony, heaven will rejoice because of us, the earth will see God through us.


O help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Loving Father, let Your assurance remain with me at all times that I may prove Your presence in my life in all that I think, say or do. I am a winner in Christ Jesus. I will prove that I am Yours. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


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
