THAT LITTLE GOOD

-

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.


There is a need to remind ourselves not to neglect the little things that make up the whole.


We must understand that the things that matter in this life are a collection of little things we do that really do matter. Just like little bricks that come together to form the whole building, if each is chipped off one at a time, the dilapidation of the building is imminent.


A great rock can be brought down by continually chopping off small pieces. The same way a marriage can be destroyed by pieces of unfaithfulness, disrespect or even lack of communication. It accumulates over time, then one might think it just suddenly happened, NO, it doesn't work that way.


So,


Let us NOT drop those "little things"


* discipline

* good routines

* readings

* prayers

* study of the word

* worship

* show of love

* encouragement

* planning

* investments

* inventing

* advice

* counselling

* givings

* teaching

* tongues

* prophesying

* meditation

* gifts of the Spirit

* anointing

* fasting

* patience

* retreat

* rest

* healing . . .

   and so on


they add up to make the bigger success we achieve.


Job 8:7

Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would increase abundantly.


Isaiah 60:22

A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation. I, the LORD, will hasten it in its time."


Galatians 6:9

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.


Don't get weary in doing those little "good", for they make the great you!


By the power of Jesus the Christ we will not get tired, we will be fervent in season and out of season.


The Holy Spirit will take over us and we will show forth God's glory.


Keep moving forward.


PRAYER

Loving Father, help me keep growing, let me continue to improve on those little good things, that I may be perfect in the whole. I am a winner. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


God has blessed us.


Love

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...
