Ready for his ministry

Every action you take is a seed you sow, and every seed you sow is a harvest you'll reap.

Have you ever had a thought like this: "Nobody would ever notice"? Or this: "It's just a little thing"? But to God, every action -- big or small -- is important, because every action you take is a seed you sow.

For example, say that you tell your boss you worked eight hours when really you only worked six. But on the other hand, it's only two hours, and "nobody will ever notice." However, you're sowing seeds of dishonesty in your life that will reap a harvest of the very same thing.

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. (Galatians 6:7-8) Don't think that you can lie to someone (i.e. sow a seed of dishonesty), but yet expect to reap a harvest of truth in your life.

Proverbs 22:8 warns that He who sows wickedness reaps trouble.

Therefore, be very careful about how you act in every area of life, because every action you take is a seed you sow, and every seed you sow is a harvest you'll reap.

You are more sinful than you can believe, but you are more loved than you can imagine.

Outside of conservative Christian circles, it's not very common for people to believe that they are inherently bad. Instead, people's logic often goes like this: Sure, I occasionally do bad things, but at heart I'm a good person.

Although it may be tempting to give yourself credit as being a good (or, in Biblical lingo, righteous) person at heart, such a view of human nature is at odds with what God reveals in his word. God makes it very clear that every one of us is "bad." We don't just do bad things; we are bad.

The Apostle Paul exclaims that because of our sin every one of us falls short of God's radiant splendor and glory Romans 3:23. None of us are good—that is, righteous (Romans 3:10).

Our unrighteousness is not due to the fact that we break God's commands. Instead, we are unrighteous because we are "in Adam," to borrow the language of Paul in Romans 5. Even people who did not sin by breaking a command still died because they were by nature sinners (Romans 5:14).

The bad news is that you're sinful by nature. Even if you lived your whole life without breaking a single command of God you'd still reap death. The bad news is probably worse than you may care to admit.

Fortunately, that makes the good news better than you had imagined. Despite your sinful nature, God offers the life of his very son for you (Romans 5:8-10). God doesn't owe you anything, but he gives you everything. That's love.

Your sin is placed on Christ, and Christ's righteousness is placed on you. You gain what he deserved—life—and he gains what you deserved—death. How great is the love God lavishes on us! (1 John 3:1)

I don't know what tomorrow holds, but I know who holds tomorrow.

2011-03-01T02:28:00.000-08:00

We should not worry about the future, because our times are in His hands (Psalm 31:15). In other words, God will give you what you need when you need it.

Therefore, it is no surprise that Jesus repeatedly tells us not to worry:"Do not worry about tomorrow" (Matthew 6:34).

Again, Jesus emphasized that God loves and cares for us, and we therefore should not worry about our life: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"(Matthew 6:25-27).

Although you don't know what God has in store for you, be assured that He has a good plan for your life (see Romans 8:28). Because He has such a good plan for you, there is no need to worry about life. Although you don't know what tomorrow holds, you have the opportunity to know the one who holds tomorrow!

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.

2011-02-27T04:52:00.000-08:00

Jesus said, in Matthew 6:19-21, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Everything you have here on Earth will decay and rust away -- you'll lose it all. However, what you store up in heaven you cannot lose.

The author of Ecclesiastes, who was probably King Solomon, recalled, in Ecclesiastes 2:1-11, how he had done great things and accumulated much wealth. Yet, he realized that accumulation here on Earth is useless: I undertook great projects ... I became greater by far than anyone in Jerusalem before me. ... I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. ... Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun (Ecclesiastes 2:4,9-11). Even though he had everything he wanted, it was all pointless, because it didn't satisfy and couldn't last.

Take some advice from these passages. Trade the things you can't keep (your life, your money, your possessions) for the things you can't lose (eternal life, righteousness, a relationship with God).

You need both blessings and difficulties, because one without the other is neither.

2011-02-27T04:36:00.000-08:00

God knows the importance of balance; that is, the importance of having both blessings and difficulties. There are several scriptures that speak about this balance. For example in 1 Peter 4:13, we are told: Rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. Notice how we participate both in suffering and in joy.

Similarly, in 2 Corinthians 1:7, Paul wrote this to the church in Corinth:And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort. They experienced both suffering and comfort.

Don't become too comfortable with what you have, because when you forget that the things you have are a blessing from God and when you start to assume that they are guaranteed possessions, it is quite possible that God will take them away from you in order to teach you that you need both blessings and difficulties, because one without the other is neither.

Seek no honor for yourself

2009-01-17T19:51:00.000-08:00

Let all things be done for the glory of the Lord and nothing for personal vanity. Let us seek no honor for ourself but seek to bring honor unto God.Brethren, our God, the Precious Heavenly Father, revealed to the world by Jesus Christ is worthy of all praise and honor both now and forever.Oh Lord, my God, I will praise Thee in the morning and at the evening tide I will praise Thee. I will praise Thee all day long and all through the night I will praise Thee.Come! Let us bestow honor and praise to our God both in word and deed, let us glorify our God.God is merciful and kind and His Love is the true Light that lights up our lives and makes all things bright.Hallelujah! Glory unto God in the highest. Amen.

how awesome he is!

2008-11-21T21:15:00.000-08:00

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; For His Love shines like the sun in the morning; after the darkness of the night of bitterness has enveloped the whole world. Great is His Love and He is worthy of our Praise. Like a tree planted by the waters; So is the man whose heart is filled with His Love; Transforming that man from darkness to light; Making merry his sad face. Like a meadowlark singing outside your window; So are the words of blessing revealed from the Father above. Come, Let us rejoice and sing; Let us make a joyful noise unto the Lord; For it is He who has made us. He has marvelously shaped us by His own hands as it were; A work of beauty, a wonder to behold is a small child whom God has made. Life is a miracle, the intervention of the Creator with creation; Only He can make the bird that soars through the heavens. Which of you by taking thought and reasoning within yourselves; Canst make anything that hath the breath of life in it? Life all life comes from God above. Look upon your Maker by whose right hand you are hewn. Give Praise unto Him and rejoice; For it is He who has commanded and all things that were made were made. Give Praise unto Him in the Highest, Rejoice and be glad; For God who hath made us, Reigneth.

GOD IS LIVING BROTHERS AND SISTERS

2008-11-18T18:05:00.000-08:00

Bring everything to God in prayer seeking His guidance and help in all that you do.Pray without ceasing and seek for God's wisdom and understanding with all your might.Jesus said, "My House is a house of prayer."In all pagan religions where men worship idols; worship consists of making offerings on alters to their gods without any attempt to communicate with their god.Since their gods are non existent and do not live any attempt to communicate with them would be futile.The only God you can communicate with is a living God; and the only Living God is God.Prayer is communicating with God directly and in person.Jesus said, "When you pray, get alone in secret with God and pray."The main difference between pagans and Christians is pagans worship and Christians pray.God is alive.

God is Love

2008-11-18T15:09:00.000-08:00

Fellow friends of God; Jesus taught us a new commandment, that we are to love one another as He has loved us. Because we are His friends, He has revealed and made known all things unto us. The Father has sent His Spirit of truth to teach us all things and bring to our remembrance all the words that Jesus has spoken unto us. By our love for one another all men shall know we are the friends of God. He who hates his fellow Christian brother is not a friend of God nor has he been truly taught by the Spirit of God; but has paid heed to the father of all liars, Satan. God is Love and He teaches us to love. Satan is hate and teaches all men to hate. All love comes from God, our Father. All hate comes from Satan, the father of all liars. Brethren, learn from God the greatest of lessons; how to love one another.

Great things in store

2008-11-16T17:15:00.000-08:00

Great things are in store for usWe can focus our minds either on the things of the past, the things of the present or the things of the future.A positive attitude about the things of the future is called hope.A positive attitude about the things of the present is called faith.A positive attitude about the things of the past is called love.Love is the sum of all the positive things that we have already assimilated.Faith is the sum of all the positive things that we are assimilating.Hope is the sum of all the positive things that will be assimilated.Of the three; past, present or future; the positive things we will assimilate in the future will eclipse by far all the positives things of the past and the present.Therefore, of the three, love, faith and hope; hope has the greatest potential.

TAKE SIDE

2008-11-15T22:13:00.000-08:00

1 CORINTHIANS 10: 21 you cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of the demons. our GOD is a jealous GOD brothers and sisters. lets focus our minds on glorifying the name of our lord .. its time to take side. there is nothing like i am godly today and tomorow you do something that is against the will of GOD. the bible reminds us that there are only two ways that we have to choose betweent after we die. the road to heaven and the road to hell. it says clearly that the narrow way, which is the road to heaven, is not easy and many does not take it but run to the broad way which lead to destruction and death. we can speak from , month to month, year to year but after all this the choice is yours. lets open ours eyes brothers and sisters and make right choices for our lives. lets seek the face of GOD while there is still time.

be blessed

amen

TURN YOUR HEARTS TO GOD

2008-11-15T17:49:00.000-08:00

Turn your hearts unto Me, saith the Lord, and I will change your lives into a glorious victory.For it is with the heart you believe and with the heart you can love.Righteousness flows forward from the heart.All the good that man does comes forth from his heart.Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all your heart.Christ Jesus came to purify the hearts of many.A heart devoid of love of God is empty.The man therewith will feel empty and his life seem meaningless.Let your heart be filled to the overflowing with the love of God and your life will be like unto the miracle of the water turned to wine.

I LOVE GOD, DO U????

2008-11-15T06:25:00.000-08:00

"The Lord's portion is His people."-Deuteronomy 32:9 How are they His? By His own sovereign choice. He chose them, and set His love upon them. This He did altogether apart from any goodness in them at the time, or any goodness which He foresaw in them. He had mercy on whom He would have mercy, and ordained a chosen company unto eternal life; thus, therefore, are they His by His unconstrained election. They are not only His by choice, but by purchase. He has bought and paid for them to the utmost farthing, hence about His title there can be no dispute. Not with corruptible things, as with silver and gold, but with the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord's portion has been fully redeemed. There is no mortgage on His estate; no suits can be raised by opposing claimants, the price was paid in open court, and the Church is the Lord's freehold for ever. See the blood-mark upon all the chosen, invisible to human eye, but known to Christ, for "the Lord knoweth them that are His"; He forgetteth none of those whom He has redeemed from among men; He counts the sheep for whom He laid down His life, and remembers well the Church for which He gave Himself. They are also His by conquest. What a battle He had in us before we would be won! How long He laid siege to our hearts! How often He sent us terms of capitulation! but we barred our gates, and fenced our walls against Him. Do we not remember that glorious hour when He carried our hearts by storm? When He placed His cross against the wall, and scaled our ramparts, planting on our strongholds the blood-red flag of His omnipotent mercy? Yes, we are, indeed, the conquered captives of His omnipotent love. Thus chosen, purchased, and subdued, the rights of our divine possessor are inalienable: we rejoice that we never can be our own; and we desire, day by day, to do His will, and to show forth His glory.

LET JESUS

2008-11-14T19:57:00.001-08:00

Let Jesus fill the empty vessel of your life.The key to living a holy life is to walk with God in the bond of love; to be instructed by God in light of truth and to be purified by God by the power of His Grace.Without God, we cannot become holy.Without God we cannot do anything that is good; because goodness is a fruit of God's Spirit and goodness can only come from God.Jesus said, I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.Brethren, let Jesus fill the empty vessel of your life to overflowing with the Heavenly fruit of the Spirit.Amen.

A JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY

A journey of discovery that will never endIt is easier to teach an old dog new tricks than to teach a religious person the truth. A person who has bound himself to a religious creed will always put the creed above God and is unwilling to learn anything new. A person who walks with God is ever learning new things about God and sees himself on a journey of discovery that will never end. A religious person fears change and the truth terrifies him. A person who walks with God welcomes change and takes great delight in learning new and wonderful truths. God is where God chooses to be, He is not where men try to place Him. An atheist doesn't want God to exist at all and a religious person wants God to exist only in the temple where he worships. To walk with God requires us to go with God wherever He chooses to go.

Obey your own conscience

2008-11-14T17:37:00.000-08:00

This is the day the Lord has made, be happy and glad in it. Arise with a song in your heart, singing His praises, giving thanks for all His provisions. Walk, hand in hand with God all day long, trusting Him to lead you into the pathways of righteousness for His namesake. Follow after that which is holy and good and do the things that in your heart you know is right. Never go against your own conscience, no matter who urges you to do so; they will not have to live with the resulting feelings of guilt, but you will. Brethren, once you start down the pathway of ignoring your own conscience, the resulting feelings of guilt and self recrimination will destroy any hope of happiness you may have had for life. Jesus said, " What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose his soul."
