ARE YOU STILL STANDING STRONG?

-

Ephesians 6:13

Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.


We are in the times of the explosion of wisdom and revelations.


A time when people question the very basis of the faith. Contradictions and Arguments. Sentiments and Deceit.


While others have been deceived or confused out of faith, some have been reduced to serving mammon still others live outside of Agape. In joy many still STAND! Glory.


Jesus asked,


Luke 18:8b
Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"


The enemy has never changed His tactics, he still attacks the mind. This is where the battle begins and where it ends, that is why we are instructed to guard our minds, feed it the right stuff and keep it away from all forms of evil thoughts and fear.


Proverbs 4:23
Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.


Romans 12:2
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.


So what do we do?


* prayer, do not be far from you knees(knees is not literal)


* study the word, be careful of the so called "other books"


* worship, remember God will not share His glory with anyone


* don't be far from true brethren ( not lovers of money, pretenders or the proud and arrogant)


* let goodness be your attitude it is your character if you have the Holy Spirit (. . . for by their fruits . . .)


* remember your first character and nature which is LOVE (God is love). . . therefore love!


Many cannot interpret the call to be steady


Revelation 22:11-12
"He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still."
"And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to his work.


It is better to decide where you stand and remain there, only when you are planted in a place can you grow.


Seeds flying around do not germinate, they have to be buried in a place!


Remember, the more you look everywhere, the easier it is for you to fall.


But . . .


Hebrews 12:13
and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.


I see you finishing strong and receiving good commendation from God.


This year will establish you in God. You shall be fruitful.


So help us Good Lord.


PRAYER
Loving Father, keep me standing. Strengthen me by Your Mighty hand and lead me continually by Your Spirit. I will stand strong and finish strong, I will please You in all things Lord. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love
@the watcher.

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 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...
