The Secret of Life

 

Every offering that is offered to God reveals what is in the heart of the offering giver and shows their relationship with Him. Through their offering to God, the person conveys love, affection, dedication and consideration.

Only those who have had a real encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ can evaluate the greatness, the glory and the importance of tithes and offerings. However, not everyone has had the privilege of being a tither and offering giver. Few know the true meaning of giving and receiving from God, especially because this includes the biggest and most important feeling that can occupy the human heart – faith.

The Bible is full of examples, of simple and humble people, as well as important and wealthy executives that experienced the happiness and joy of being able to give something to God. Many were driven by a feeling of gratitude, others were driven by a deep love, and there were those who do it for the pleasure of helping. In his Gospel, Luke, a doctor and evangelist, says:

“Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons, and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Himfrom their substance.” Luke 8:1-3

It’s MAY!!!!

I believe and have Faith this Month will be only of Blessings,

Its normal for a Christian to have there bad days. There are times when we just want to STOP. There are moments where you just don’t know where your Christian faith is.

When I have my moments of taking a rest. (Spiritually)

Somehow God always wakes me up. What I mean is that back in 2006, I gave my life to God. I made a Vow with God. I decided to commit my life to Christ.

We are not perfect, but it give us no reason to quit. God Says ( Come to me the way you are) Ok, by this He means come as a sinner. If you have this commitment with Christ continue till death.

There will be times when you just want to throw the towel. Let me ask a Question?  Will GOD ever give up  on YOU???? I can only answer for myself. NO, God will never give up on me, Why should I. God is our strength I have a Vow to Him. As long I am Faithfull to Him, He will be Faithfull to me.

By my Faith God has plans for me this May, June, July etc…..

P.S How can you see His Blessings in your life, If you don’t have this vow with Him.?????

 

 

Blessings to All,

Wrath of God

The transgressor of the Law of man carries within himself a sense of punishment.

If he gets away with it, he’ll consider himself smart and plan something bolder.

But, the transgressor of the Law of God does not.

Instead, he continues in sin relying on God’s Divine love and compassion.

‘God is love’, he tries to convince his conscience. ‘He understands me and after all, He will forgive me’.

He does not believe in being sent to hell as a punishment just because of a little sin…

Usually, mankind forgets that because of His Righteousness, the Almighty cannot subject Himself to the infinite feeling of compassion. Except when there is sincere repentance and the confession of sins. In this case, He justifies and redeems the sinner through the blood of His Son Jesus.

However, if the sinner does not do such thing, how will He have mercy on him and justify him before hell and save him?

Impossible.

“My son, be wise and make my heart glad, that I may answer him who reproaches me,” Proverbs 27.11

The Glory of Man

 

No one goes to the doctor when they are not sick;

No one looks for a light when they are not in the dark;

No matter how bright the light may be, it will not solve a blind man’s problem.

No matter how high a sound may be, a deaf person will not hear it…

No one can be saved if they do not considered themselves lost.

No one has an encounter with God by chance.

There must be a reason for someone to seek and find Him.

Job was righteous and upright, God-fearing and avoided evil;

He obeyed the spiritual and moral demands that pleased the Lord.

But he did not know Him.

Divine permission was necessary for the devil to cause him pain and create a need for him to know the greatness of the Lord, which Job wanted, but did not know.

And have a need for Salvation.

The devil helped the Lord?

No. But God turned something evil into something good.

The Joseph’s envious brothers sold him into slavery.

They intended evil against him. But God turned that into something good, to save many people.

“You meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive,” Genesis 50.20

Satan’s stupidity created the necessary conditions for Job to know God.

He continues to be stupid.

Creating the same situation of despair for mankind.

However, man has wasted the opportunity of finding himself lost, in order to seek Salvation.

God is the same, the devil is the same and mankind is the same.

God continues to want to save lives and provide an eternal life of quality;

The devil still wants to kill, steal and destroy;

Man continues lost in his physical and emotional dilemmas, and forgets about his spirit.

“Thus says the LORD: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord, exercising loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,’ says the LORD.” Jeremiah 9.23-24

Something to think about!!!!

The Difference Prayer Makes

I got up early one morning

And rushed right into the day;

I had so much to accomplish

That I didn’t take time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me,

And heavier came each task;

“Why doesn’t God help me?” I wondered.

He answered: ” But you didn’t seek.”

I wanted to see joy and beauty

But the day toiled on, gray and bleak;

I wondered why God didn’t show me,

He said, “But you didn’t seek.”

I tried to come into God’s presence,

I used all my keys at the lock;

God gently and lovingly chided:

“My child, you didn’t knock.”

I woke up early this morning

And paused before entering the day;

I had so much to accomplish

That I had to take time to pray.

Think about this my friend…….

Defining True Wisdom

A Life of lovely graciousness models the fruit of wisdom and its rare fragrances of humility and gentleness. We can tell a lot about a person’s faith life by how well she sows wisdom and peace The world judges beauty by external elements: the style of a woman’s hair, the designer labels on her clothes, the monetary value of her house and car. But God’s beauty pours forth in the form of edifying godly words of wisdom that bring blessings to its hearers. Consider these definitions and explanations of the eight components James Shares on spiritual wisdom, the kind that comes down from above.

* Pure— True wisdom is free from motives and self-interest.

* Peaceable— True wisdom accomplishes peace in our relationships with others and with God.

* Gentle— True wisdom offers forgiveness and extends kindness and consideration to everyone.

* Willing to yield— True wisdom is marked by a willingness to listen and sense of knowing when to yield.

* Full of Mercy— True wisdom reaches out to help others.

* Full of good fruits— True wisdom bears ” good fruits” of action

* Without partiality— True wisdom does not waver or vacillate in indecision or play favorites in dispensing truth and holding to its standard.

* Without hypocrisy— True wisdom does not deal in deception, pretension, or selfishness.
