Meet Lord

Let us rise up and do what GOD has called us to do………Go and tell about the true living GOD… “This day is a day of good news, and we remain silent.”  2Ki 7:9  If you don’t tell them, who will? The Syrian army had surrounded the city of Samaria and nothing could get in or out. It was a desperate situation. Eventually the inhabitants began starving to death. Four lepers who’d been quarantined and forced to live outside the city walls decided to go into the Syrian camp hoping to find mercy, and maybe food and water. But when they got there they discovered an army of angels had scattered the Syrians, who fled leaving behind food, water, clothing, and treasure. These four men couldn’t believe their good fortune! They ate, drank, exchanged their rags for fine clothing, gathered treasure and hid it where they could find it later. Then they remembered that in Samaria their own people were hungry, thirsty, needy, sick, and dying. And they were faced with the dilemma: Do we keep thi

Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing! “Whatever is in the heart overflows into speech.”  Lk 6:45 Don’t use profanity When you resort to profanity it proves the truth of God’s Word: “No man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God…and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God” (James 3:8-9). Profane language is unbecoming to a redeemed child of God. So why do we do it? First: We lack the adequate vocabulary to express ourselves and feel we must swear in order for our words to have impact. Second: We resort to profanity to release our frustration with the situation. Either way, we’ve developed an ungodly pattern of expressing our displeasure, and we need to restrain ourselves. Jesus said: “A good person produces good deeds from a good heart. And an evil [person] produces evil deeds from his hidden wickedness. Whatever is in the heart overflows into speech.” Acknowledging that profanity r

Stop complaining………this is not from GOD. “So Moses brought their case before the Lord.”  Nu 27:5  Constructive complaining When you get a reputation as a complainer, people will begin to avoid you. There’s an interesting story in the Old Testament about the five daughters of Zelophehad. Here was their problem. Their father had died in the wilderness before the Israelites entered the Promised Land. He had no sons to inherit his land, and the law didn’t allow women to receive it. Consequently, without a father, brothers, husbands, sons, or other men in their immediate family, Zelophehad’s daughters were left out completely. It wasn’t fair, but it was the law. So rather than complaining to others, the sisters presented their “petition for an inheritance” to Moses and the leaders. And When Moses brought their case before God, He agreed with the women and granted their request (See Nu 27:1-11). Now, what do you think the outcome would’ve been if they’d gone around whining to

You are blessed and GOD’s favour is upon you! so Don’t give the room to enemy who is a deceiver……who makes you feel u r not worthy of GOD’s blessing and favour. “I know that thou favourest me.”  Ps 41:11 The reason for the attack The Devil doesn’t want you to know that God’s favor is on your life, or that you’ve been blessed by Him with all the good things you enjoy. The truth is, the Devil doesn’t want you to think God has done anything good for you at all! He will try to convince you that you have no purpose, power, or potential. He will play the race card, and if that doesn’t work he’ll play the childhood memories card. If that doesn’t work, he will remind you of all the disappointments you’ve been through in life. And if you buy what he’s selling you’ll end up with such self-doubt and low self-esteem you won’t believe God has blessed you in any way, or that He has a wonderful plan for your life. But He has! No matter how limited your ability or lackluster your accompl

Quarreling  is harmful to oneself. (From the fruit of their lips people enjoy good things- Proverb 13:2) The Lord’s servant must not quarrel.”  2Ti 2:24  Don’t quarrel, and avoid people who do Let’s consider why some people are given to quarreling:  (1) They grew up in homes where it was a pattern so they think it’s normal. It may be normal, but it’s certainly not Christlike. The Bible says, “Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor; only fools insist on quarreling” (Pr 20:3).  (2) To boost their self-worth. Some folks only feel good about themselves when they’re attacking the validity of somebody else’s opinions and beliefs, and maneuvering that person into defending their position. The quarreler’s goal isn’t to add value to other people’s lives by showing them the error of their ways; it’s pure one-upmanship. Solomon says, “Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate, so stop before a dispute breaks out” (Pr 17:14). Does that mean you shouldn’t stand up for wh

Forgive……and let it go……. “If you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you.”  Mk 11:25  You must forgive them When asked which emotions contribute most to physical illness, a group of eminent doctors said, “Anger and unforgiveness.” That’s because over time they release deadly toxins into your body. One doctor said, “It’s not what you are eating, but what’s eating you that threatens your health.” When someone hurts you, there are four things you should do:  (1) Talk to them. Now, there’s a right time, a right place, and a right way to do it. Before you say anything, ask God to guide your thoughts and words. Then say what’s in your heart in a loving, low-key, nonjudgmental way. After that, leave the rest with God. He can do a better job of changing things than you can. (2) Don’t retaliate. When you’re tempted to lash out at someone, stop and remember the price Jesus paid to take away the sins you commit. Seeing your o

How food is essential for body to grow so is the Prayer essential to grow in the Lord! “Your Father knows exactly what you need!”  Mt 6:8  How to pray Jesus said: “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!”. When people say, “I don’t know how to pray,” what they usually mean is that they don’t know how to pray like us. They don’t know how to use our “Christian jargon.” Jesus says you don’t need to worry about getting the words right because “your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him.” God’s listening to our hearts more than our words. We don’t have to be self-conscious; He’s not grading us on how well we express ourselves. Compare prayer to breathing. You breathe instinctively without awareness and conscious attention; it’s a natural expression of o

Tongue doesn’t have bone………..who can control it? The one who fears the LORD………Only GOD alone can Judge all. “Study to be quiet.”  1Th 4:11 Don’t talk too much! Dr. Joe R. Brown of Rochester, Minnesota, tells of the frustration he encountered while trying to take a physical history on a patient. The man’s wife kept answering every question. Finally, Dr. Brown requested that she leave the room. But after she left he discovered that her husband couldn’t speak. Calling the wife back, Dr. Brown apologized for not realizing the man had aphasia—loss of speech—and couldn’t speak a word. The wife was even more astonished—because she didn’t know either! The Bible says there’s “a time to be silent and a time to speak” (Ecc 3:7 ). Why? Because communicating too little can destroy a relationship, and so can talking too much. Sometimes we talk because we’re lonely and have few opportunities to speak to others; other times it’s because we love the sound of our own voice. Whatever your m
