ARE YOU A FAITHFUL ONE?

-

Acts 2:46

And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,


Can this be said of the church today?


The fellowship at the beginning was so powerful and intense. The love was so pure that it was difficult for an imposter or an unfaithful one to survive in their midst. Ananias and his wife could testify to this.


Acts 5:5

And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.


However as the church grew people with varying motives and those who were not sincere could hide in the midst of the brethren. Wolves in sheep clothing.


Acts 20:29

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.


Others come in as hypocrites, pretenders, double minded etc.


Matthew 13:30

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.


However in all the Lord expects us to be faithful. Being light always, no matter how the darkness attempts to penetrate.


Remember you ought not be the culprit. Selah


Matthew 18:7

Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!


We must be found faithful. We must know the God we serve and so, faithfully do.


The key is love. Remaining in His love, we cannot get it wrong.


Romans 8:38-39

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


So, where would you place yourself? Are you a faithful one or are you among the unfaithful. Remember the true questions is "Where does God place us?". Selah


2 Timothy 2:20-21

In a wealthy home some utensils are made of gold and silver, and some are made of wood and clay. The expensive utensils are used for special occasions, and the cheap ones are for everyday use. 

If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work.


Will you truly work for the Lord, edifying the church and blessing the brethren or are you among the hypocrites, gossips, thieves, pretenders, the proud, money worshippers, filthy ones, sexually immoral, backbiters or full of jealousy.


You must take a stand and the better to be with the Lord. For what a curse to be found among the brethren but rejected at the end. God forbid.


The choice is yours, choose wisely. Be faithful.


PRAYER

Loving Father, help us as believers to stay faithful, using your measure and not that of men. May we continually please You in all things that we may really be Your true children. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

CHRIST'S RULE

-
Isaiah 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. The prophecy on Judah's predicament did not end there, there was the prophecy of the return of the remnant. The end of the days will see a new wave of peace and joyous happiness. It will be characterized with the initial plan of God being fulfilled. Wildness in animals removed, wars will not need to be fought, snakes would no longer be poisonous. Peace would reign. This prophecy displayed salvation in Christ Jesus for the Gentiles.: Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. Christ Jesus would also bring about the return of the remnant of the children of Israel from all parts of the earth. It would be like the exit of Israel from the bondage they experienced with Pharaoh in Egypt. No matter how we look ...

THE MISERY OF THE DRUNKARD

-
Isaiah 28:1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty [is] a fading flower, which [are] on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine! Being drunk is an attribute related to losing control of one's mind due to the strong influence of a substance such as alcohol. There was a woe against the drunkards of Ephraim as we see in Isaiah 28, the rebuke was more on priests, prophets and leaders: Isaiah 28:7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble [in] judgment. See Proverbs: Proverbs 31:4&5 [It is] not for kings, O Lemuel, [it is] not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. In a literal sense of being drunk, no ...

IT IS FINISHED

-
Acts 4:12 "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." John 17:4 "I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. John 19:30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. Are you still struggling with religion, with the law, with the former things. Have you been tossed here and there with fear, condemnations, weights and burdens of dos and don'ts? There is good news, IT IS FINISHED. * It is not in progress, He has done it * He is not saving us, He has already saved us * He is not working it out, he has already worked it out. * He is not fighting the enemy, He has already defeated him on the cross, so we need not negotiate with the enemy. * He is not healing us, He has already healed us. * He is not trying to answer our prayers, He already has. So we ask, belie...
