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….

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

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 ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES 2! An earthly father will be delighted and willing to do more for his son or daughter, when she/he shows gratitude. How will you feel when you give something tangible to a person and he didn’t show gratitude? You will feel unwilling to do more for such person. Our heavenly Father deserves to be shown gratitude for all He has done in our lives. Thank GOD for what He has done in the past, what He is doing presently and what He will do in the future. There is no little testimony; you just have to appreciate GOD for his faithfulness and marvelous deeds. Marvelous deeds like, the gift of life, which is the greatest of all blessings, good health and sound mind, sleeping and waking up. Many slept and never woke up, while many find it difficult to sleep. We have to see reasons to appreciate GOD; doing these will gladden Him to do more for us.              However, problems, trials, challenges might be in...
