FOR I KNOW

FOR I KNOW
GOD’s thought are not that of men, neither are His ways that of men. Isaiah 55 vs. 8-9: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. GOD has a plan for us irrespective of who we are. His thoughts toward us are good, peace and not of evil. GOD expects us all to get to that expected end. He created us all, GOD doesn’t create an imperfect thing, and all his creations are perfect. He knew us right from our mother’s womb. Isaiah 44 vs. 24: Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer; and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that make all things; that stretch forth the heavens alone, that spreads abroad the earth by myself. With GOD our future is bright, colorful, hopeful, glorious and achievable Jeremiah 29 vs.11: For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. The expected end is our future, hope and promise land. To get to this expected end, we need GOD. He must lead, we must follow; we mustn’t go ahead of him. This is a New Year; GOD has a plan for us this year. We must allow GOD lead us into his plans for us. He led the Israelites into the promise land; He is still able to lead his children to their promise land. GOD is the Good Shepherd, we are the sheep’s.

                  The Psalmist said The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; he leads me in the path of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil, for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. We need the Good Shepherd’s staff and rod to comfort us into GOD’s plans for us. The devil and his cohort will always be there to mislead us and divert us from GOD’s plan and ways for our lives. That is why we need the Good Shepherd to lead us through. John 10 vs. 14:  I am the Good Shepherd, and know my sheep; and am known of mine. Only GOD’s sheep seek HIM and find HIM. Only GOD’s sheep search HIM with their whole heart. Only GOD’s sheep are led by the Good Shepherd. We must be a sheep and not a goat. The sheep’s are on GOD’s right hand, but the goats are on the left. The sheep’s obey and do GOD’s will; the goats do not. Job said for I know my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. Let us enter into GOD’s plans by following his commands and will. 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...

HE THAT COVERS

HE THAT COVERS To cover is to hide and to conceal. A man cannot be wiser than his Maker or Creator. GOD is our Maker; He molded us and formed us into what we are. He is the Potter, we are the clay. Jeremiah 18 vs. 6: O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? Says the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the Potter’s hand, so are you in my hand O house of Israel. GOD sees all and His foolishness is wiser than man’s strength. 1 Corinthians 1 vs. 25: Because the foolishness of GOD is wiser than men, and the weakness of GOD is stronger than men. A man that covers his sins prospers not; but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Proverbs 28 vs. 13: Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Cain was a tiller of the ground; Abel was his brother and was a keeper of sheep. Cain brought fruits of the soil as an offering to GOD, Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat; which the...

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...
