Daily!
Lu.9:23 (KJV) “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me” [with emphasis].
What then is this cross that Jesus is speaking to us about? A lot of the things we are calling our cross are the things that The Cross of Jesus came to sort out. Those things are not your cross. Read the rest of this entry
Abel’s Example
Heb.11:4 “It was by faith that Abel brought a more acceptable offering to God than Cain did. Abel’s offering gave evidence that he was a righteous man, and God showed his approval of his gifts. Although Abel is long dead, he still speaks to us by his example of faith.”
The mistake a lot of people make is thinking that the Old Testament is not relevant to us. That is a big fat lie! What they actually mean is the Law. The Law came by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
Dignity In Labour
2 Thess. 3:12 “In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we appeal to people–no, we command them: Settle down and get to work. Earn your own living.”
Do not be passive! It is not a suggestion. It is an instruction. Yes, you have an M.Sc. in Aerodynamics but you have a family to feed. You cannot sit down and fold your hands, waiting for an opening in the industry when you have a family to feed. Read the rest of this entry
Time & Effort
2 Kings 17:36 But worship only the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt with great strength and a powerful arm. Bow down to him alone, and offer sacrifices only to him.
Ps. 147:11 [ERV] “The Lord enjoys people who worship him and trust in his faithful love.” God wants you to worship Him in spirit and in truth. He wants you to release your spirit, your soul, and your body to Him. Read the rest of this entry
Special Ability V
Acts 2:46 “They shared their meals with great joy and generosity” [with emphasis]
To have God’s blessing that keeps intensifying we must Be Willing To Sacrifice. By God’s grace, we are not strangers to sacrificial living in God’s Favourite House. Read the rest of this entry
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
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
Seed Principle
2 Sam.24:24 “No, I insist on buying it, for I will not present burnt offerings to the Lord my God that have cost me nothing.” So David paid him fifty pieces of silver for the threshing floor and the oxen.”
David bought that threshing floor because he made up his mind not to give God worthless sacrifices. When God was going to build the temple of Solomon, guess where He put it? The temple of Solomon is sitting on the threshing floor of Onan the Jebusite. Imagine the harvest from David’s life flowing through generations because he refused to give a seed that cost him nothing.
