MARY'S CHOICE

-

Luke 10:42

But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.


What a privilege we have to sit with Him who was meant to minister to multitudes. This was what Mary chose.


Jesus spoke so much on the mount.  We thus have the "sermon on the mount" Mathew 5, 6 & 7.
Teachings that up till today have not been fully dissected. I remember when I read the book focused on the beatitudes from Matthew 5. The author had yet to scratch the surface of this great teaching.


Mary sat at His feet and listened while Martha ran around making preparations.


We do not know what we have in having a direct link with the Messiah.
Just as Mary could sit at His feet and learn God's will and fulfil purpose.


We also have this great privilege to eat from the master's pot.


John 14:26
But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.


Was it that Mary was not helpful in the house chores and other preparations before Christ came? No!


Now that Christ had arrived she had to leave every other thing to concentrate on Him. Selah


This is where most of us miss it. We have been carried away by the instrument used by God, the activities that we engage in that makes it look as if we are part of the event or maybe just to make ourselves look busy. No, you will miss the main diet if you are busy when the master is ministering.


Therefore all leaders in ministry should understand this that it will not always be a jamboree but that all will sit at the Master's feet just as Mary did. May God grant us the wisdom.


More importantly is our personal time with the Lord. Are we so busy with the world activities that we have not separated time to be with our Lord? Come off it, remember that it is in Him we live and move and have our being. No excuses, we must set time apart to be with the Lord, to feed from Him, worship Him and be renewed by Him.


We must understand the Mary's choice so that we will not be too busy to enjoy the blessings of being with the Father.


As we approach the new year, let us correct this error and make the Mary's choice. It is not about any human or what anyone will say but our special relationship with the One who saved us and who owns us. We need Him everyday. Glory to His name forevermore.


O help us Good Lord.


PRAYER
Loving Father, let me always be in Your presence. No matter whatever it is that I have to take care of help me know that You are my help and my source. When it is time may I leave all and sit at Your feet to regain strength, wisdom and power daily. 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...
