Being Fruitful in Christ; A Blessing to Others
Matthew 7:17-20 (KJV) 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. We are created to be fruitful. The question however is what type of fruits are we bearing? Fruit is…
God Restores Our Soul
Psalm 23:3 (KJV) He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. The psalmist was a man of uncommon grace and deep understanding of the mercy of God. Life never was easy for him even as one of the greatest kings of Israel. He knew many troubles but he also knew many victories. In his life we learn much about the love of God and the mercy of God, but he knew how to…
Reject evil and Imitate what is godly
3 John 11 (KJV) 11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. In a world full of imitations and comparisons, where people often are not happy or contented with who they are, the likelihood of wanting to be someone else and to copy someone else is a reality. Often than none, people struggle with their identity and are not comfortable…
The Importance of approaching God with PRAISE
Psalm 59:16 (KJV) But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble In all matters of Life, approach is critical to outcomes. When we learn how to approach things, situations, circumstances, and much more God in the right way, we create the desired outcome. Approach is key to audience. People can’t listen to you when your approach…
God is the Source of your HOPE & JOY
Romans 15:13 (KJV) Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. There are many benefits of knowing Christ and having a living relationship with Him. Life without God and that is not Cross Centered is very challenging to say the least. But when we come to Christ and understand the provisions of the Cross our perceptions and perspectives changes thereby impacting our…
Your Safety & Protection are God’s Priority.
Proverbs 18:10 (KJV) The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. Safety and Protection is one of the most founded aspect of any good government. Millions and billions are spent from governmental and nonGovernmental organizations yearly in security measures. Individually, we seek to do all within our power to be save and to secure the things that are of importance to us. So humanly speaking, safety and security or protection is one thing…
God is the Master Builder
Psalm 127:1 (KJV) Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Stability is something that everyone desires and often work very hard to achieve. It is in some ways one of the assuring accomplishments that people rest their souls on. We hear it being said, I need to find a way to stabilize my life or you need to be stable. Implying that it is a mark…
Don’t be afraid, TRUST God.
Psalm 56:3 (KJV) What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. It is so good to serve God and to know that He truly understands each and every one of us. He sees our needs in ways that only Him can do. Each one of us have things we are deeply concerned about and things that invoke fear in us not necessarily that we are afraid but we have uncertainty about their outcome and we are often troubled by…
The Blessing is in God, and God alone
Psalm 121:1 (KJV) I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. Expectation influences hope and the source of your expectation fuels your faith. The psalmist was a man of uncommon character and understanding. He knew by the Holy Spirit the importance of developing an expectation that is anchored on God and God alone. Though, God uses people but when our hope and faith are placed on mere men, we have often been disappointed. In Palestine…
Honor & Respect Godly Friendship
Proverbs 18:24 (KJV) A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. The value and importance of friendship is undeniable true in our lives. However, we must as well take to account our roles and responsibilities in making friendship last and fruitful. Friends are influences and they are inspirators. The value of true friendship is that it adds to your life and improves the quality of your social, economic,…
Are you WILLING to serve?
Isaiah 6:8 (KJV) Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. Availability and prompt obedience are central elements in the service of God. God is looking for those whose hearts are open and willing. The call to service in God’s Kingdom is at the heart of our purpose in life. We must arise to answer this call and be counted. God…
