CHECK UP ON YOURSELF
We all need to check up on ourselves frequently, because nobody knows tomorrow, nobody knows what happens in an hour time or days ahead. Are you really a Christian? Do you pass the test? Do you feel GOD’s power and presence more and more within you? Or are you just pretending to be Christians when actually you aren’t ? These questions are for us all. We need to check up on ourselves, if we are still on the right path. A Christian is someone that does as Christ does, what you can’t find Christ doing, you shouldn’t do if you are truly a Christian. But unfortunately, now most Christians do not act like Christ. They behave as though they are not Christians, unbelievers at times marvel and say he/she is a Christian, because of the fellow’s acts or behavior. As Christians we are to follow peace with all men and holiness, without which no man shall see the lord. If you want to see the lord in glory as Christians, you must live peaceably with all men and live a holy life.
However, there is a test for everyone on earth; JESUS himself while on earth faced the test. 2 Corinthians 13 vs 4 says: His weak, human body died on the cross, but now he lives by the mighty power of GOD. We too, are weak in our bodies, as he was, but now we live and are strong, as he is and have all of GOD’s power to use. GOD’s power is there for Christians to be strengthened in our weakness; to live and wax stronger on earth. Expect your test, but be rest assured the power and victory is there for you. Many pretend to be Christians, I attend church daily doesn’t qualify you as a Christian, you are only a church goer. A Christian serves GOD with all his mind and heart, a church goer goes to church, just to fufill all righteousness, for eye service. You can’t pretend you are a Christian, when you are not. GOD knoweth those that are his, his foundation nevertheless standeth sure, having this seal. Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. A church goer might be saved and might not. If you are just a church goer, and not saved; you are just wasting your time. Finally, as Christians we are to feel GOD’s presence always, as many that are led by the spirit are the sons of GOD. We are to feel his power in us. Checkup on yourself now…..It is well with our soul..
WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her. 1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD. What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...
