BENEFITS OF DISCIPLINE 2!

BENEFITS OF DISCIPLINE 2!
I Timothy 6 vs. 6: But godliness with contentment is great gain. This is discipline! Many a time men lack discipline because they are discontented with what they have. The word covetousness means immoderate desire for the possession of something, especially for wealth. Much affection is set on worldly things; and not above. Colossian 3 vs. 2: Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. A man of discipline will be contented with what he has and won’t covet other’s wealth. Exodus 20 vs. 17: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his man servant, nor his maid servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor’s. Many people’s problem today is covetousness. A man that covets what others have is an indiscipline man. David coveted Uriah’s wife Bathsheba and devised means to kill Uriah despite his wives. This is indiscipline, the bible said but the things that David had done displeased the LORD.

Indiscipline displeases GOD, men of discipline please GOD; men of indiscipline displease GOD. 2 Samuel 11 vs. 27: And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing David had done displeased the LORD.  Eli’s Hophni and Phinehas were punished by GOD because of their indiscipline. Gehazi’s covetousness and discontentment made him follow after Naaman. He desires bag of sheeps, oxen, olive yards, money rather than Elisha’s anointing. Naaman’s leprosy cleaves unto him and his seeds because of his greediness and covetousness. 2 Kings 5 vs. 26: And he said unto him, went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money and to receive garments, and olive yards and vine yards, and sheeps and oxen, and men servants, and maid servants? We are to take heed and beware of covetousness. Luke 12 vs. 15: And he said unto them, take heed and beware of covetousness; For a man’s life consists not in abundance of the things which he possess. Make contentment your watch word. Kindly, share with others. It is well with us.

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE! Compliments of the season from this side of the world to you all!!! Knowledge of the Truth is back and better this year. And I pray this year shall be a favorable one for us all. The word Faithful means reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhering firmly to a rule. It means consistency. It means fidelity. As a wife, it is expected you are reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhere to your husband’s rule and command. Ephesians 5 vs. 22: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the LORD. The husband is in charge of his wife in the same way CHRIST is in charge of his body the Church. A submissive wife will be faithful without any conditions. She makes fidelity her watchword. A submissive wife obeys all her husband rule and command. A submissive wife is conscious of her wrongs. A submissive wife yields to authority (her husband’s). A submissive wife will always stand by her husband in thick and thin. A submissive wif

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS This is a very fascinating topic, dreams are not delusions. Many do think dreams are just fictions, some see as a normal way of life. Many do not take their dream serious which shouldn’t be, some see dreams as delusions, some don’t even dream, why some forget what they dreamt about. Dream is a medium in which GOD communicates with us, he communicates to us through vision, trance and also consciences, but we are discussing about dream. Although, many a time what you are thinking about before you sleep, you might see it again; but majorly it does not continue like that. The bible said in Job 33 vs 15: In dreams, in vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they lie on their beds; he opens their ears in time like that and gives them wisdom and instruction. That is just a picture of dream, everyone has a dream land; but some’s has been tampered with by the devil. A dream land is an avenue for dreams; GOD gives instructions to us in the dream, ju
