MORE HIGHLY THAN . . .

-

Romans 12:3

For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.


If you have accepted Him know that it is a privilege to be called God's own. Yes, for what we received and became at conversion is so great we really cannot take it lightly. The enemies know, they tremble at it and fight against it. It is believers that belittle it!


This said, let us note that we received it like a child then we grow everyday from the point of taking spiritual milk till when we attain maturity, then we begin to eat spiritual meat.


1Peter 2:2

as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,


Hebrews 5:13

For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.

 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.


So believers grow in the knowledge of God, having revelations and doing exploits.


In all these, we always need to remember that we are human and He is God. Yes He is Father and we are sons, we must never go besides ourselves, making ourselves more highly than we ought to.


Malachi 1:6

"A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am the Father, where is My honour


Always remember that the higher we go the more battles we must have fought and won.


Maturity brings about responsibility, do not get carried away.


You don't need to seek distractions, they are everywhere coming with different packages, styles and forms. Don't fall for them, there is much at stake.


So no matter how much exploits the Lord permits us to achieve we must never lose focus of who receives the glory. Selah!


So are you boasting in yourself or something else? Have you forgotten who is in charge? Know that it is because of the Lord's mercy that we are not consumed instead we have triumph and victory over the enemies. So stay humble shun pride and walk in love for love is the nature of God.


Galatians 6:14

As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died.


May the Lord keep us the way He wants us to be.


May we not think ourselves highly than we ought to think.


May we display and enjoy the full measure of the glory God has given us.


We will not be distracted.


We will yet do more exploits.


O help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Loving Father help me never to think of myself highly than I ought to but to submit to You in all things the I will continually enjoy sonship with You now and through all eternity. 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

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J

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
