DON'T GET TIRED OF THE WORD

Psallm 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. When one walks in darkness, accidents happen, for a blind man cannot drive. A blind man should not lead another else they both fall into the pit. Matthew 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Psalm 119:105 Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. It is in searching the scriptures, that we get to know what the will of the Lord is, knowing what He desires from us thus we are able to please Him. It is through the knowledge of the Word that the Spirit is able to perform God's exploits through us. Many who have derailed and become false prophets and fake pastors have derailed from the word. They have began to walk in their own thoughts, that of their flesh and also that of the evil one. Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. It is also...

THE FALSE COMPETITION - be fruitful.

Matthew 25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. Jesus the Christ, the Messiah used parables to illustrate His teachings to the people. These examples He gave, buttressed what He was to say, though at that instant some who heard did not fully understand the interpretation of the parables. Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, [thou] good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. One point is clear everyone who is heading to the kingdom has been granted responsibility according to their ability. Everyone is expected to profit thereof. 1 Corinthians 12:7  But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. In John 15, the Lord further described it as He being the tree and we the branches. A branch receives its supply from ...

THE JONA-FRIEND

Proverbs 18:24 A man [that hath] friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend [that] sticketh closer than a brother. One major truth about life is our need for others and also, other's need for us. It however goes extra when we call one a friend. We try to categorize the level of friendship depending on how much we want to trust, how much we want to reveal and also how much they have proved themselves. I do not know if there still exists so strong a friendship like that of Jonathan to David? 1Samuel 18:1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 1 Samuel 18:3-4(NLT) And Jonathan made a solemn pact with David, because he loved him as he loved himself. Jonathan sealed the pact by taking off his robe and giving it to David, together with his tunic, sword, bow, and belt. He was supposed to be the stumbling block to Jonathan becoming kin...

IS IT HIM WE REALLY SEEK?

Acts 10:2 & 4 [A] devout [man], and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway. And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. Deuteronomy 4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find [him], if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. Many are in churches, born into Christian homes or even to the family of clergy yet have not been able to have a close relationship with the Heavenly Father. Something is missing, the heart that seeks! Proverbs 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Jeremiah 29:13  And ye shall seek me, and find [me], when ye shall search for me with all your heart. This is why we have many who study the texts yet are far from love. They become arrogant and even try to discourage or bring down those who ...

DON'T TAKE IT TO HEART

Romans 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. One thing we cannot avoid as we go on with our journey on earth is our relationship with others. There are things we can't choose. * Who our parents are * Who our siblings are * Who our neighbours are * Who our colleagues are * Who drives adjacent us or who sits close to us in a commercial vehicle. The list extends. . . There is a limit to how much we can narrow down our choices, to have the right people around. Remember those who got betrayed, were actually betrayed by those they have come to trust. Selah! In all, we cannot but deal with other humans, we need them and they need us too. However offense will come and that in varying degrees. The Lord expects us not to take it too close to heart, that it becomes difficult to forgive. Matthew 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: It is our Heavenly Father's nature to...

ALWAYS ABOUT HIM

Matthew 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. One thing about God is that He does not share His glory with any man. Isaiah 42:8 I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. When we do what we do that men will praise us, God says we should not expect any other reward from Him, we have already been rewarded. Matthew 6:5c  Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. We should be careful of pomp and show off, we ought not to get carried away, lest, we begin to receive praise from men. The bible says that when our light shines, it is God who receives the Glory. Selah Matthew 5:16  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. May the Heavenly Father Himself guide us by His Spirit, that we bring glory to the Father. Halleluyah. C...

KEEPING YOUR HOME

There are things King Lemuel wrote in Proverbs 31, things that his mother taught him that remain relevant to us today. Proverbs 31:2  What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows? The man ought to be strong, focused and not easily distracted. Proverbs 31:3-4 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.  [It is] not for kings, O Lemuel, [it is] not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: Avoid strange women and run away from addictions e. g.  Alcohol. The man earns, he make a living, Adam was not given a wife first, he had his work first. The woman, the helper, she is not a threat to her husband. Proverbs 31:12  She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. These are the basic standards of the family. The children come, they don't destroy the status quo, they should solidify it. Selah Families should understand that when a man and woman come together a new ...
