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...

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...
