BE ACTIVE, SERVE THE LORD

-

1 Peter 4:10

As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.


Every one who comes to Christ to receive salvation also receives the gift of the Spirit. The gifts are for service that we may be active serving the Lord God.


Ephesians 4:7-8

But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.

Therefore He says: "When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men."


This is why it is said, you are "saved to serve".


The gifts are given for us to profit thereof:


1 Corinthians 12:4&7

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:


Therefore the bible instructs:


1 Peter 4:11

 If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.


So are you active? Are you serving God or you are now serving man or the church. Don't get it twisted, you employer is actually the Lord God, so when You submit to authority you submit according to God's will and ordinance not away from it. Selah!


Therefore let no one be a stumbling block to you, do not give room for fear or frustration. For surely they will all arise, however what you have is a great investment that you cannot afford to fail or give up.


You are an oracle of God. Selah


Titus 2:15

Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.


You know who called you and gave you this gift(s). Don't disappoint Him. Don't get carried away, stay bold, stay strong. Keep working. Remain active.


Is it that you are yet to discover your call or your gifts? Begin by studying the word, staying in prayer adding fast here and there, then join the brethren with the heart of service. The Lord will definitely open your eyes to see that which He has deposited in you.


Are you conscious of the Holy Spirit. If you have not been released to the Holy Spirit, you remain blind to the gift. Let the church leaders lead you to release God's Spirit in you. There is no time to waste, your farmland cannot remain bare.


And careful not all gathering are actually of God. Also not all gathering are for You. May the Holy Spirit guide us accordingly.


Be activated!!!


1 Timothy 4:14

Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.


Don't dwell in ENVY, stay in SERVICE. Selah


Remember it is not about how big your position seems to be, but if you are in the RIGHT position!


PRAYER

Loving Father, by Your love and mercy, I see us believers, fully active in the Spirit, yet also alive in prosperity. We can surpass Daniel in having a good testimony(we have a better covenant). We will please You Lord. Help us Good Lord. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


We are victorious.


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 ...

BY HIS MERCY

-
Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. As we go on our christian journey challenges will surely arise. No one was promised a smooth sail.  1 Peter 4:12  Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: However we must be encouraged to stay strong especially in those times when it seems we may want to fall or give up. Remembering that it is not an option. We have His mercy. We never grow too great that we no longer need the mercy of God, everyone of us, no matter the level we are, still needs His mercy as we go on. We of course remember that we have not gotten thus far on our own strength. No, it is the Lord's mercy. Psalm 106:1 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. The tide could rise, the storms could roar, we could even face internal crises, let us remember that we...

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 ...
