PROFITABLE TO DIRECT 2

PROFITABLE TO DIRECT 2
Hosea 4 vs.6 says: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because thou hast rejected knowledge; I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me; seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy GOD, I will also forget thy children. Many have refuse to learn from their past, many have been destroyed for lack of knowledge. As Christians we are priest, but when we lack the knowledge of GOD and forget his law, then our priesthood is questionable. As priest of GOD we are to fear GOD; fearing GOD brings wisdom. As priest of GOD we are to get the knowledge of GOD which is the first step towards getting understanding. Proverb 9 vs. 10: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. 1 Peter 2 vs. 5:  Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to GOD by JESUS CHRIST. As priest we are to be holy, pure and offer to GOD things that please him. We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that we should show forth the praises of him who hath called us out of darkness into his marvelous light.

           Job was a perfect and upright man. He feared GOD and eschewed evil. This made him held fast his integrity, despite all he faced. GOD’s wisdom was evident on his life, because he feared GOD; no wonder he held to his integrity when the wife told him to curse GOD and die; no wonder he told his wife in Job 2 vs. 10: But he said unto her, thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaks. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of GOD, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. Job’s wife exhibited the wisdom of men; but Job exhibited the true wisdom, which comes from GOD. The bible said Men know how to mine silver and refine gold. To dig iron from the earth and melt copper from stone. Men know how to tear apart flinty rocks and how to overturn the roots of mountains. But though men can do all these things, they don’t know where to find wisdom and understanding. Wisdom is far more valuable than gold and glass. It cannot be bought for jewels mounted in fine gold. Job 28 vs. 20: Then where can we get it? Where can it be found? Vs. 23 says: And GOD surely knows where it is to be found. Vs. 28: And this is what he says to all mankind; Look, to fear the LORD is true wisdom, to forsake evil is real understanding. True wisdom begins and ends with GOD. It continues tomorrow. 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...
