WHAT REASON?

WHAT REASON?
This write up is a question to us all. What reason?
Reason is a motive for an action or determination. To every reason, there is a motive and action. GOD created us for a reason. He made us to worship Him and glorify Him. The bible says GOD is a spirit and they that worship Him, should worship Him in spirit and truth. GOD sent his son JESUS for a reason. He came to this world to die for all our sins. In Job 1 vs. 7: GOD said to satan, where have you been? satan answered the LORD, I have been wandering around on the earth. The devil wanders around on the earth for a reason; he wanders to steal, kill and destroy. vs. 8: Then the Lord said to satan, have you seen my servant Job? There is no person on earth like Job. Job is a good and faithful man. He worships GOD and refuses to do evil things. Vs. 9-10: satan answered and said, sure! But Job has a good reason for worshipping GOD. You always protect him, his family, and everything he has. You have made him successful in everything he does. Yes, you have blessed him. He is so wealthy that his herds and flocks are all over the country. The devil said, Job was faithful to GOD and worshipped him for a good reason. And he suggested if everything Job had were destroyed, he will curse GOD to his face. What reason! Many worship and serve GOD conditionally. We should serve and worship GOD unconditionally; because that is the reason he created us. Many are saved for these reasons; they accepted CHRIST for provision, miracles, supplication and protection. Such people serve GOD with their lips and eyes, but not their hearts. If you don’t serve GOD, you will surely serve the devil. Will you serve GOD, if all is well? Will you still serve him, if all is not? Will you serve GOD, when your soul is bitter? Will you serve him, when your soul is not? Will you serve GOD in your adversity? Will you still serve him, out of adversity? Will you serve GOD, when your joy turns into sorrow? Will you serve GOD, when your sorrow turns into joy? Will you serve GOD, when your sun set? Will you serve him, when your sun rises?
                 Job still serves GOD despite all he faced. Job 1 vs. 12: he said “when I was born into this world, I was naked and I had nothing. When I died and leave this world, I will be naked and will have nothing. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Praise the name of the Lord! What reason! A song writer Matt Redman wrote, bless the Lord oh my soul, oh my soul worship his holy name, sing like never before, oh my soul, I will worship your holy name. The song comes up; it is a new day dawn, it’s time to sing your song again. Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, let me be singing when the evening comes. There are many good reasons to serve GOD. The Psalmist says: I will bless the Lord at all times; his praises shall continually be in my mouth. Our motives toward GOD should be for eternity. We are to seek the Kingdom of GOD first and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto us. Job’s motive toward GOD was eternal, and GOD completely restored him. What are your motives towards GOD? It is well with us….

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM Freedom is a state of being able to do what you want without anything stopping you. Galatians 5 vs 1 says: so Christ has made us free, now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get all tied up again in the chains of slavery to jewish laws and ceremonies. Christ’s death on the cross made us free, we are in bondage before, but Christ made us free. We are tied up in chains slavery to sins, but his death made us free. The bible said whosoever the son sets free, is free indeed. We have been set free, and we are free. Many misuse this freedom, many use this freedom to do the wrong things. Many still dwell in sins despite, this freedom. This freedom brings grace, love, purity and faithfulness. The bible said we can’t continue in sins and say grace to abound, GOD forbid. When you are in sin, your freedom becomes captivity again. That is why, you must flee from all appearances of sins. Paul said in Galatians 5 vs 13: For dear brothers, you ...

THE DUTY OF MAN

THE DUTY OF MAN Duty is that which one is morally obligated to do. A husband in a house is responsible for meeting his family’s needs. That is the duty of a husband. A wife is responsible for taking care of the children and also house chores. That is the duty of a wife. A school teacher’s responsibility is to teach the students. That is the teacher’s duty. A student’s responsibility is to go to school, listen to what the teacher teaches and study them. That is the student’s responsibility. Our Creator GOD created everything for a purpose. Every creation has a duty to carry out. Unfortunately, many creations have failed in their duty. When a man doesn’t carry out his duty he is termed a failure. It causes the Creator GOD nothing to replace men with stones when they fail him. I pray may you not fail GOD!                However, there is time for everything. Don’t get excited and get carried away in this world. D...
