Now or Later?
Phil 2: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father [with emphasis]”.
You can choose to kneel now or you can choose to kneel later but everybody will kneel to Jesus eventually. Yes, everybody! When Jesus comes back, every eye will see, every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Read the rest of this entry
Pursue, Repent & Submit!
Ps.63:1 “O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water.”
Are you sincerely seeking God or you just want a god that you can control? God is not a talisman; He will not do your bidding. When God is not in control of you, what you have is an idol. Read the rest of this entry
Are You Struggling?
Mark 10: 17 As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” [with emphasis]
I have shared with you that one of my personal mantras is “unto thy self be true”. And for this reason, I consistently confront myself with things and it has helped me improve on so many levels especially in my walk with God.
In Pursuit
Mal. 3:10 “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies…” [with emphasis]
We are totally grateful to God for technological advancements that have now made it possible for many to conveniently do their giving online. And there is nothing wrong with paying tithes or offerings online. However, God expects us to come.
Your Best
Ps.114: 6 “Why, mountains, did you skip like rams? Why, hills, like lambs? 7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob”
When you encounter God in all His glory, the most sensible thing to do is to kneel before Him. It is senseless not to kneel before Him. Interestingly, there is nowhere in the Bible that God Himself instructs us to bow before Him. God instructs us not to bow before other gods but He did not tell us to bow to Him instead.
His Beauty
Ps.138:2 “I bow before your holy Temple as I worship I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name”
Jesus died for you so that you can live for Him. God expects your best because He gave you His best. The Hebrew word for bow is translated kneel, worship; bow down means to prostrate before God. Read the rest of this entry
His Best for Your Best
Heb.2:10 “God, for whom and through whom everything was made, chose to bring many children into glory. And it was only right that he should make Jesus, through his suffering, a perfect leader, fit to bring them into their salvation”.
God wants us to take His gifts to men. I know that when we say things like this, some people really cannot wrap their minds around it because they too are in need. Read the rest of this entry
Love Gives
Matt.25: 37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you …drink? 40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’”
You have not begun to worship until the people that have no clue about God look at you and conclude that you are foolish. Worship can be ridiculous. How can wise men bow to a baby?
With God & Self
Ps.139:13 “You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.”
You cannot give what you do not have. If you do not like what you see in the mirror, you cannot bring life to your relationship with your spouse. I am not saying you should be carnally minded. What I am saying is everything God made is good; God made you and everything about you is good. Read the rest of this entry
Heavenward!
Eph.2:14 “For Christ himself has brought peace to us. …he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us” [with emphasis].
I am so confident that until I am raptured, then rapture will not end. A lot of people question my confidence and I turn them back to God’s Word. My confidence is in the truth that Jesus has come to break down the wall of hostility that separated me from God and now I have peace with God.
