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….

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...

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...

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1 Everybody has a desire and some desires glorify GOD, while some do not. Desire is a strong feeling of wanting something. Many get trapped by their desires. The LORD our GOD knows our needs, desires and expectations; we are to delight ourselves in the LORD, commit our ways unto the LORD so he can give us our desires. Psalm 37 vs. 4-5: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Many have desires that are against GOD’s will. Many have desires that will take the place of GOD. Many have desires that will lead to disobedience to GOD’s will. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10 vs. 5: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of GOD, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of CHRIST. There are imaginations and desires that will repel a man from GOD’s plan and will for his life. W...
