7 VIRTUES YOU SHOULD GET !



7 VIRTUES YOU SHOULD GET!
Virtue is a good thing to have. It is an inherently advantageous excellent quality. A virtue is a particular manifestation of moral excellence in a person. It is an admirable quality. Show me a virtuous man and I will tell you he is full of virtues. A virtuous man has an excellent moral character. A virtuous man is good. A virtuous man is righteous. A virtuous man flourishes like a tree planted by the rivers of water; that brings forth his fruit in his season, his leaf also never withers. Whatever a virtuous does, it prospers. A virtuous man walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. A virtuous man delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night. GOD knows the way of the virtuous man, because he is righteous. A virtuous man is blessed, blessed is he when he goes out and come in. GOD’s name is on the virtuous man, and He blesses him. A virtuous man is called according to GOD’s purpose, therefore all things works together for his good and favor. Let’s consider the life of a virtuous man in the bible. Philippians 2 vs. 5: Let this mind be in you, which was also in CHRIST JESUS. Vs. 6-8 (NIV): Who, being in very nature GOD, did not consider equality with GOD something to be used to his own advantage. Rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death- even death on a cross. Vs. 9-11 (NIV): Therefore, GOD exalted him to the highest place and gave him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name. That at the name of JESUS every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. And every tongue acknowledges that JESUS CHRIST is LORD, to the glory of GOD the Father. JESUS CHRIST the son of GOD exhibited some qualities only a virtuous man can exhibit. He didn’t consider equality with GOD. He humbled himself; He obeyed his Father GOD by coming to the world, to die for our sins. He made himself nothing; He took the nature of a servant. Oh! Only a virtuous man can do such.
                    However, no wonder GOD exalted him to the highest place. No wonder He received ALL these seven virtues. Revelation 5 vs.12: Saying with a loud voice, worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches, and wisdom and strength and honor, and glory, and blessing. These seven virtues are worth getting and having; provided we can pay the price. CHRIST paid the price, He received all. He expects us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. He expects us to take our cross and follow him. He expects us to witness for him. He expects us to obey and do his will. He expects us to exhibit CHRIST LIKE life. Philippians 2 vs. 12 (AMP): Therefore, my dear ones as you have always obeyed, so now, not only (with enthusiasm you would show) in my presence but, much more because I am absent, work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal) your salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation). 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...
